I had full power over the television tonight. I had the remote control and Mama was washing the clothes so her objection over flipping channels every time, deemed feeble.

I got a dose of primetime teleseryes and Korean soaps from rival networks, GMA and ABS and here are the few things I’ve learned from watching these dramas:

“Hindi porke’t magkaibigan tayo,
pwede na nating paghatian ang lahat ng bagay..”
- Kris Aquino to Dina Bonnevie, Hiram (ABS-CBN)


“Hindi ako naniniwala sa swerte,
pero sa himala, oo..”
- Save the Last Dance for me (ABS-CBN)

“Kapag tunay ang pag-ibig, bumabalik ito.
Kahit ano pang mangyari… basta maniwala ka lang..”
- Stairway to Heaven (GMA)

“ Just because nobody is like me, does that mean I’ll always be alone?”
- Clark Kent, Smallville (Studio 23)

Out of those lines I have remembered, I particularly liked the third one. It sounded very hopeful and buoyant. It almost makes you feel how blissful it is being in love.
