Vienna thoughts

I saw our house help watching Rubi in her quarters and it reminded me of my post-presentation day at my Filipino host's home. The day after my presentation at EGU, I woke up quite late in the flat. I was alone since Tita Lina and Tita (I forgot her name) went to work. Tita Lina bought a TFC box which allowed her to watch shows from ABS-CBN. So I got curious what the shows in ABS are since I support GMA. Also, I felt homesick and needed to hear the Tagalog language. I turned the television on and the TFC box. On the menu, I clicked on the, uh, I forget what's the title of the heading but to make the long story short, I ended up choosing Rubi. I thought it was Juday who played the role of Rubi but I found out only in Vienna (haha) that it was Angelica Panganiban.

I got hooked because I liked the character of Angelica (Rubi). She was sexy, ambitious, full of mystery and the type of woman who will do anything to get what she wants. The plot was not set for the teeny bopper shizz but rather for the mature audience. Plus, there was a sexy scene of Diether and Angelica where they made out in the beach, haha! Throw in Shaina Magdayao, Cherrie Gil, Cherry Pie Picache and Gardo Verzosa as the other characters and you've got yourself a good Filipino sitcom! Cherrie Gil's acting was superb! You can really feel her emotions! Grabe nakakaiyak ha! Also Shaina's. They were all fantastic! Then I realized why ABS's sitcoms are better than GMA's... The actors and their scripts are really good. Magagaling talaga silang lahat. GMA's sitcoms are like, blech.

And when I finished watching all of the episodes, I realized I was in Vienna! Half of the day was wasted watching Rubi in Vienna! Whaaat?! I went to Vienna to watch Rubi?! Hahahaha! I could have gone to visit the sights and museums but no, I watched Rubi! Haha! Panalo talaga yun. After that, I immediately took a bath and prepared myself to tour around the city. Good thing there was still time but sayang lang, half the day was spent doing nothing inside the flat.

Eto pa winner. After I got back from Vienna, I wasn't going gaga to watch Rubi. I just didn't watch it because, ayoko lang, haha. I seldom watch local channels. Pero ewan ko ba, nung nasa Vienna ako, pinanood ko talaga yung mga Filipino shows sa TFC, haha. Pinoy talaga ako. :) And I'm proud of it. :)
