Chuck

I just finished watching the fifth and final season of Chuck. The series ended 2011 but I only discover it this year. If you've never heard nor watched Chuck at all, I am honored and privileged to tell all about it to you!

If you know me better, you will know that I love spy movies. From CIA to NSA to Jason Bourne to James Bond. It's my cup of tea. I'd rather watch movies with these themes than superheroes stuff. No offense Spiderman or Captain America, it's just that I almost know how your story goes. The only superhero movie that I watch is X-Men but only because I secretly want to be a mutant. :) But with spy films, it always makes me ponder. Their story has twist and turns that is very entertaining to me. And don't let me start with the spy gadgets. They are just too cool to handle! 

Anyway, the reason I'm telling about this is because Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) is a nerd who accidentally downloaded government secrets into his brain. He didn't want to be a spy but with the hand of fate, the data was sent to him thru his email. With all the secrets and data that is being downloaded in his brain, he sorts of became a human computer or what they called the "Intersect." The CIA and the NSA must protect him or else government secrets will be secrets no more! Team Bartowski, which consists of Sarah Walker and John Casey embark in espionage and great visual stunts that make this TV series great! I won't spill all the details but I guarantee you it will be worth your time. There is action, drama, family, friendship, romance and most of all comedy! I laugh my heart out with some scenes. Who would expect that in a spy show, right?

But the reason I am gushing about this show is because Chuck and Sarah's love story kinda grows on me. They make me feel good. Honestly. Chuck is a nerd and Sarah is a kickass, stunning, "nasayo na ang lahat" girl! From their first kiss to how Chuck confesses his love to the proposal to their wedding - it was just boarding on "kilig" overload. I was crying buckets in the last two episodes. I feel his frustration and love for Sarah. The last scene leaves the viewer hanging. Did they end up together or did they break up? Well, I am an optimist (and a romantic!) so I say they end up together and have kids and bought the house with the red door and white picket fence! I believe in happy ever after!

Here it is, the last scene and the last line they exchanged. Love. Love. Love! :)

Chuck: You know, Morgan has this crazy idea.

Sarah: What is it?

Chuck: He thinks that, with one kiss, you'll remember everything.

Sarah: Ha. One magical kiss?

Chuck: Yeah. Ha, ha. exactly. I know, it's...

Sarah: Chuck.

Chuck: Yeah?Sarah: Kiss me.

American Idol 11

I just watched the Americal Idol Top 3 performed and belted their heart out. In the past, I don't really fanatically follow it. But because this time there's a Mexican-Filipina whose name is Jessica Sanchez, you bet I watched it since the first episode. Since the beginning, she has proved her skills and talent in singing. I was shock (and maybe the rest of the world) when she was nearly voted out but I was relieved that the judges save her. It was an overwhelming save. But as the finals are drawing nearer, it is hard to tell who will win it because Joshua Ledet and Phil Phillips are great too.

And you know who is more excited to know and follow AI week after week? My father! I think my father had mention for the 100th time that he knows Jessica's family in Bataan. My father was born and raised in Calaguiman, Samal, Bataan. He would always say he knows Nana Crusita (Jessica's grandmother) and would always praise Jessica. He would watch with us and he get disappointed when the judges didn't give Jessica a standing ovation after her performance. I can't stand the wait but I really hope Jessica wins it because 1) she is a great singer and 2) she is the first half Filipina ever to be an Idol winner.

Tomorrow, we will know if she makes to Top 2 or not. But I truly believe, winner or not, she'll land a record deal. And when she does, I'll be there to buy one! Keep singing Jessica!

Jessica Sanchez all the way!

and the winner is...

Congratulations to Maasinhon Trio - Andrew Sanchez, Bonifacio Salubre and Licinio Lolo of  Southern Leyte. The Pilipinas Got Talent Season 3 Grand Winner.

Pilipinas Got Talent

Once again, Filipinos show how talented we are. Its the Pilipinas Got Talent Grand Finale Performance Night. The show starts acknowledging some Filipinos who makes their mark in different field. Like Lea Salonga, Phil. Dragon Boat team, Charice P, Nonito Donaire, Efren "Bata" Reyes, Monique Lhuillier, Manny Pacquaio and many more! Wow! It really makes you proud to be a Filipino! We're world class!

I'm really sleepy because we wake up early today because we attended a wedding this morning. But I can't pass this chance of watching the PGT final performance. And tomorrow a new name will follow Jovit Baldovino and Marcelito Pomoy's destiny. The 12 finalists showcase their talents to the best that they could. So whatever the results are, everyone is a winner. My favorite performances was the rap originally written by Kiriko ( I love the message of their song), the hearthrob Khalil (he is a good singer and he is soooo cute!), and the sing and dance number of Twin Divas. But as I said everyone did a great job! Hands down to all of them. I really don't know who will win. We'll have to wait 'til tomorrow to find out. :)

Pilipinas got talent DEFINITELY!

Junior Master Chef

I love the tv show Junior Master Chef (Pinoy Edition) on ABS-CBN. I can't help but be awe with these kids! Their cooking skills are unbelievable. They prove to me that cooking is a talent just like singing or dancing or painting. I mean everyone can cook but there are people who are born to do this. And what's even more interesting with this show is that the contestant's age ranges from 9 to 12. When I'm in their age, I don't think I have the enthusiasm they have for cooking. Anyway, as I say, there are people who are really born to this kind of stuff. But me? I learn to cook when I was in college and my specialty is Menudo and Sopas. I can also cook as long there is recipe in front of  me. But in JMC, all the kids prepare their food impromptu and there are challenges that makes the show more exciting. In today's episode their task is to make a meal with the ingredients apple, pumpkin, and frog! I can't wait for more challenges to come.

Watch it every Saturday at 6:45 PM and Sunday at 6:30 PM.
