nope this is not a food blog. I just love the sound of amuse bouche, heard it first from all those reality cooking shows Im such a big fan of. This is how I want this series to feel like, a small bite to amuse the mouth before the meal. I'm not really clear on how I'm to accomplish that but this layout is a start.
ASAP 10 - For the first time this year, I gave in to the weaker part of my brain and tuned in to this lunchtime show that happens every Sunday at ABS CBN Ch. 2. If there is one thing I absolutely hate in television, its the variety shows. But I'm a fan of Philippine show business (and yes a lot of that is due to Kris Aquino and Boy Abunda!) and all the brightest stars are in ABS, so I think it wouldn't be so painful to watch them in ASAP. My problem with variety shows is that nothing much happens, you have the same set of people performing song and dance numbers all throughout the show. I hate it so when they mention their sponsors, their long list of sponsors...
What I enjoy are the outfits, the hairstyles, the accessories, the hits and the misses. There's something so amusing about people of very different ages trying to look the same, young and vibrant. So there's Sara G alongside Zsa Zsa sporting pretty much the same look or style. It must be hell for Zsa Zsa to be surrounded by young people, to actually share the stage with them. Television is merciless to the ages and the sizes. You have Bea who can never ever showcase her thunder thighs and she sings with Anne, Shaina and Iya.
Do you ever see Sharon Cuneta slug it out every Sunday while struggling the whole time to hide those bulges? How about Corina trying to downplay her abundant bumpers. It's a good thing I did not get discovered to be a TV personality, I bet I wouldn't last long...
