Throwback Thursday: When Cartoon Network Philippines Aired Christmas And New Year Marathons

Cartoon Network served as part of my childhood. Yup, that's until I had to face off against a Cartoon Network obsessed idiot who made me nearly hate it. Part of my childhood was brainlessly crying to escape reality with Cartoon Network. Two of those moments involve me watching Cartoon Network Christmas and New Year marathons as part of the celebration. It was a time to chill out before December 26-29 was devoted to STUDYING for incoming examinations. December 30-January 1 was yet another break from studying.  In the 90s, there was Cartoon Network and there were Turner Classic Movies back when it was still known as TNT. Both shared the same channel. TNT came before Adult Swim. I really could remember some of the Christmas specials were mostly by Hanna Barbera. There were a couple of new year specials too which I could remember but maybe not so fondly. Back then, I didn't like Cartoon Network that much because most of the cool cartoons were on channels like ABS-CBN and GMA-7. Car...

Gracie Dzienny Enjoys A Cup Of Hot Chocolate At Home

  Instagram I just love how this photo of hers is edited to make it look like a photo from the 1970s/1980s with that classic hairstyle. It just makes her look like Pamela Anderson who's pretty much old enough to be her mother. 

Brisk Walking VS. Dancing To Get 10,000 Steps

  I was thinking about several alternatives to lose weight. Some say to walk 10,000 steps casually though there's also the suggestion to burn THAT MUCH calories. I was thinking about how to get the steps. 10,000 steps is said to be 200+ calories - that's if we don't consider the heart rate. So, I decided to do 10,000 steps in two ways - casual walking in a peaceful subdivision vs. dancing your way. I find casual walking to be rather relaxing and at your own pace. In fact, I prefer casual brisk walking to be more fun and calorie burning than treadmill. An hour on the treadmill usually burns 200+ calories while brisk walking for an hour can burn 300+ calories.  What about dancing your way to 10,000 steps? Dancing makes you move your arms and legs. It requires lots of effort to get hand and eye coordination practiced. I don't think you need to be good at dancing to enjoy it and reap its benefits. You just need to diligently practice and do it without thinking about becomin...

Shaina Magdayao's Assigned Role As Tanya In "Tagpuan" As A Half-Chinese, Half-Filipino Pimp

I don't know if I should really watch Tagpuan online during the now-online Metro Manila Film Festival. Sure, I could afford PHP 250.00 but I'd usually get a value meal for that! Her role is Tanya who is a half-Filipino and half-Chinese character. The character of Tanya was born out of rape between a Chinese man and a Filipino domestic helper. Tanya becomes a sex worker in Hong Kong - one that would really lure you out. So, I thought does Shaina (appearance-wise) actually fit the role of a lovechild between a Chinese man and his Filipino rape victim? Granted, I really love to mention that Shaina Magdayao resembles Korean actress Jin A Nana in some way. In Shaina's case, she does have Caucasian blood in her veins. I can't be sure of Nana but almost every angle (except the eyes) is nearly the same. One can argue Shaina has rounder eyes in contrast with Nana. Well, don't some Filipinos who are half-Chinese have round eyes even if they may have other Chinese features? Sh...
