Marimar

Okay - let's get it straight out - I have no clue what this Mexican Telenovela is all about. I know, people have been going gaga over Thalia long before the invasion of the Chino-velas! But seriously - what is it all about?

I have friends who made it a point to go home early and finish their homeworks to watch this show - but really - was it really that good? You see, I am a sucker for Telenovelas, ask my mom, my friends and my Panget! They'd all say the same thing - that I am indeed a sucker for them, I'd watch them and even discuss possible spoilers of the show with people! Ahhhhh... this is my 'drama' in life... :)

When I read in Sophie's blog - that she loved it (when it was still shown) - I sent her messages thru YM asking her what she show is all about. Ever so cute Sophie replied instantly - and here's what she told me on YM:

sophie : marimar starts with a young raggeddy ann dressed girl
sophie : hahaha
sophie : with lolo and lola
didi: nice ba?
sophie : falls in love with sergio the hairy chested guy riding a horse
sophie : then sergio marries her to spite her parents or whatever
sophie : then the household makes a laughingstock out of marimar esp angelika

sophie : renato's wife
sophie : then things get worse as angelika orders someone to burn the house of marimar's lolo and lola
sophie : d ko na maalala basta sa huli magiging iba na ang pagkatao ni marimar

sophie : under the name of bella aldama


Now, after reading that - I got fascinated. Looks like they indeed followed the recipe of a good telenovela!! :)

But will GMA 7's version compare to that of the original one? I will never know - because I don't have anything to compare it with! It's been day 3 (of showing) already - and I still haven't caught the local version! What time does it start anyway?! Dang it!!

  1. I admit to having watched the Thalia version. You shouldve watched that. Super vindicated siya sa huli, mwahahaha. Anyway, I think Marian Rivera, the new local actress is pretty good casting, sa looks alone. Have yet to see her acting though.

Learning Mandarin, what method is best?

I studied in a sort of Chinese school for 13 years. So that "sort of' means, I SHOULD know how to speak basic Mandarin right? NOT QUITE!! I studied in a Chinese school where we only get less than an hour of Chinese class daily.  When you think about it, well - one hour a day, should be okay - but the problem is, at that time - it was pure memorization.  The books that we used, were those traditional books that I honestly have no idea what is written in them.  I see Chinese characters and they're just that - Chinese characters without meaning, nothing.  It was not practical if you ask me.  The words we were taught were not used in everyday conversation It was only during my 3rd or 4th year of high school that I realized how important knowing how to speak Chinese was.  It was during a trip to the Chinese border from Hong Kong that while I was going around the mall, I was having a hard time communicating with people who looked like me.  I wa...
