I love this hospital drama!!! Actually this is a dramedy but most of the time they focus mostly on tear jerky moments.

The season 1 is really good. It was their introduction and I love how the characters are growing on me.

I love Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey.
But I am deeply attached to the character being played by Katherine Heigl. For me Izzie

is my favorite in the cast. I love her in the 2nd season coz it was her season. The way she fought her love…haayyy… I really cried.
Alex too is very hot. How bout McDreamy??? Hmmm… I’d rather have McSteamy.

I love the episode where there was a train wreck. It was so hard watching those two victims with a pole stabbed together in their two bodies. Then the episode where Christina Ricci played a medic..oh my God it was so intense. Of course who could forget the Denny-Izzie love affair.

Cristina Yang? I like her too. Sandra Oh won as Best Supporting Actress in the Golden Globe.
I adore the Nazi too. He he he… Kudos to Dr. Bailey!!!!

I love watching this series.
Im so glad that I have a bootleg collection of the series. He he he….
I have no volition I don’t have time to watch TV.

THE AMAZING JOURNEY

THE NATIVITY STORY

After watching Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ” medyo nagbago ako ng konti. Inaamin ko marami akong sins kaya naging mabait ako dahil sa film na iyon.This one “The Nativity Story”… wow… same reaction. I think I’m goin to the church again.

Common na sa atin ang story ng Nativity pero dito nabigyan ng buhay at may dagdag pa na na mga scenes na di natin alam unless history geek or bible reader ka. Maganda ang screenplay kasi moving at hearwarming. Marami na akong napanood na movies na made for tv or even some B-movies about Nativity pero itong film na ito ang kakaiba. It’s a masterpiece.

Hats off the youngest ever nominated actress from New Zealand, Keisha Castle Hughes of Whale Rider. Pinaiyak niya ako kasi she’s the serious and innocent Mary I’ve ever seen. Parang sanay na tayo na meztiza at super beautiful ang gumaganap na Mary but Keisha is different and I love her for that. Oscar Isaac who portrayed Joseph…. napaka-promising niyang character actor. I don’t know pero sumasakit throat ko dahil naiipon ang sakit ng dibdib ko at siguro tuloy din tears ko when I was watching the journey of Joseph & Mary to Bethlehem. They did so well in their parts. Convincing talaga especially the Bethlehem Labor Night. Watch out for that.

The female auteur Catherine Hardwicke who also did Thirteen & Lords of the Dogtown is remarkable. Na-justify niya ang essence ng Nativity. For me best elements din ng film ay ang cinematography at production design. Well, the auteur was a former production designer kaya maganda ang results.

I heard nag-premiere ito sa Vatican at well-applauded. I heard marami ring pinaiyak.

Trivia ko lang: Mary conceived & carried baby Jesus in her womb at the age of 16 according to the film. Did you know that Keisha Castle-Hughes who played Mary is pregnant in real life? She’s also 16 but unmarried. She didn’t conceive the baby though. She is pregnant and is now expecting a child in 2007 with her boyfriend of 3 years
