2026 Emmy Nominations Random Thoughts!

• Happy for Shailene Woodley's nod for Parasides, she deserves it so much!
• Glad Abbott Elementary is still holding on, especially that Directing nod, well-deserved! Janelle James survived, whew!
• Task missing series after getting key nominations is so odd, especially this is an 8-nominee field
• Industry is never gonna make it!
• Meg Stalter, yes! I love her on Hacks!
• Allison Janney! Her nomination drought post-Mom is over. She's so good on The Diplomat
• The Amazing Race snubbed for the first time ever! I blame the US Big Brother connection last season!
• Love Island host getting that nomination, series nod next year?
• Apple TV really came on strong! Widow's Bay potentially challenging Hacks gives the category some suspense
• That Wonder Man nod is fun, bumping Jeremy Allen White, who would have thought

Buffere

 The drought continued so I had no choice but go to my safety net. It was quite heavy in the heart but I had to do it to keep things steady. I still hope and pray for good news to come soon!

Indoor

 Okay I have no choice I guess. Today I made a move to lessen a worry. But the biggest worry I have still out there. I hope it comes in soon! Still, patiently waiting and I hope when it comes it will really pour in because I badly need it. I hope this will be the week!

Earth

 Still waiting for something to pour in. I know why it hasn't happened yet but nonetheless the waiting game has been so difficult! I've been holding off doing some things because of this. I really hope there's good new this week.

9AM

I was reckless today and did some petty nonsense. Hopefully, it's just this week and I get better next time because I can't afford to lose their trust which I worked hard for. Need to get my act together. 

Appreciation

 When I was a kid I was quite sheltered because I was sickly so I never thought in my late 30s I will be the one who will be looking after my parents. It was surreal at first when I realized na baligtad na situation but I am proud of how far I've come kasi di ko akalain na magiging ganito ako ka-mature and responsible given na I was so sheldependent when I was young. It's nerve-wracking to be honest but I've come to appreciate how my parents took care and raise children, I totally understand how difficult it was and they pulled it off so well!

Honestly

 The past few months have been rough as I witnessed layoffs in the company. I think my job is safe but you'll never know so I'm already thinking of backup plans just in case the worst scenario happens. I'll be turning 39 in a few months, and the thought of possibly losing a job and looking for a new one is making me anxious! I haven't tried to look for a new job since 2020! I really hope and pray the company will stabilize in the coming months! 

Fizzle

 Another week with no development in that regard. Well, there's still tomorrow! Maybe I get lucky then! I'm very nervous with everything going on and there are definitely red flags! But I just have to hold on to hope! Oh Dear Lord, please...

Seventeen!

 

I remember the feeling when I posted this. I was nervous but hopeful na tumagal ako dito, at least one year man lang! And I'm still here, 17 years later! I went through a lot, survived many challenges, and learned a lot along the way! Forever grateful to my 20 Plus family!

Pisces

Finally done with one of the toughest projects ever! I could have done better but I was quite messy this month but thank God, everything did good overall. However, I'm still worried about some things and I really hope some good news will come eventually. Please!!

Blemishes

I don't want to admit it for years but I definitely feel some regret not taking care of myself physically. It's a mix of laziness and just lack of will really because I just felt what's the point. But now as I age and see how I look, oh yeah. But it is what it is. I'm getting more walking in public with my baldness, I used to wear caps all the time but the heat just made it so difficult to always wears caps. I'm nearing 40 anyway so yeah just accept that I look way older because of my baldness. My skin has a lot imperfections too, I used to ignored but now seeing some undesirable spots made me feel sad again but again it is what it is. And my teeh, oh year, the horror! I forgot about the fatness too. Oh well.  It's good to finally let these thoughts out. I accept myself for what I am but sometimes insecurity consumes me. But I have other biggers challenges in life to stress myself about these things. 

Tables

 Tired all day, then you have to face an outburst of stupid nature. I'm so tempted to lash out but I know it will lead to nothing, and I will be at the losing end yet again. Always a lose-lose situation for me. I am so tired of it all. It's a neverending cycles of discomfort and loneliness. I hate to admit it to myself but that's where I am. While I had some inkling of how it would be for me when I reached this age, now that it is happening, it sucks so bad. I just repress what I feel because how could I survive the daily struggle if  I just let it dampen my spirit. I still continue to fight, make adjustments to make everyone comfortable, even if it inconveniences. I stepped back from doing major moves because I don't want to shake the stability. The times I tried to sneak in some personal liberty, something happens that draws me back in. I am overwhelmed with complications emoton that I just try to dismiss, pretend I don't feel. But damn  everytime something unnecessary causes me stress I reel back in this state of mind. At least on the inside because my surface level pretends to be calm and collected because I don't want further stressful times, I am tired. I am tried. I've had enough. But I have no choice. I am trapped in a cage that I voluntarily entereed.

Hexagon

Thinking of maximizing another option due to recent hardships! I've been particularly avoiding it because of trauma caused by others. But I do think I've been responsible enough not to fall for the same mistakes I once saw from other people. I better be. 

Relentless

 I keep hoping you will realize that you are going out of line over something so inconsequential. But I gave up hope you will ever realize that because you say are already way too caught up with this delusion that you are careless with what you say. You don't appreciate all the things I have sacrificed everytime this senseless, totally worthless thing does not go your way. I sometimes am tempted to confront you but I know nothing will come out of it because at this point there is no changing this stupidity anymore. So here I go, taking the punches because I gave up and just chose the less stressful option. I will do the adjustment per usual, Nothing will change. I will still be the receive of your nonsense rants and I will stupidly just choose to receive it. Maybe who knows one day I get to be happy. I mean, really happy. I will cling on to that 1% hope. 

Zoom Bats

 Here I go again wishing for something better. These self-defeating thoughts always cross my mind everytime I deal with unnecessary stress. I deserve so much better but this is the kind of life I chose because I care at the end of the day. I don't want to take for granted that in general life is OK and I had so much worse experience but sometimes I just feel so frustrated wishing I had a more ideal life, more comfortable, less worries. But I always keep myself in check and this posting this in the internet void helps me unload so I can be "normal" on the outside. I can't show my full emotion because it would just add complication and I don't want complications anymore. 

Logging

 Just when you are going through a lot of things on your mind here comes unnecessary stress but I have no choice but to deal with this thing as patiently as possible because fighting back / putting them in their place gives me anxiety too so weighing two unpleasant feelings I would just go with the option where it's give me less stressful feeling. It sucks to be me sometimes.... or most of the time these days? Anyway, just burry it and focus energy elsewhere

Tough

 I'm getting worried because nothing has come up yet and I badly need it. It made me think of exploring other worlds you know but I don't know I'm too occupied but everything is catching up. It's making me wonder again if this is all worth it? But I like the convenience as this point of my life especially when other factors come in. But if it's only me, I would have taken the plunge but no longer the case. Oh dear Lord, please hear my prayer.

Hitches

 Another chaotic day and I still have so many pending things to do. There's some stressors popping out too! But I can handle this! I know I can. But dear Lord, please hoping for some good news tomorrow, I'm really struggling now!!!

Gunaydin

 I will try my best next week to be on time again. I don't know I've been giving excuses that this giving adrenaline rush is better but it is not. Always chaotic. Anyway, hoping for a better week ahead too and one of the things I've been hoping for pushes through. 

Hidden

 It's so humid again. Aircon usage is high thus high electrcity bills that gives me headaches. Life is so tough! Drained in so many ways! I can't function well too or the best that I could! So tough!

TeleNovela PH

 My old channel TeleNovela Channel is sort of back! It's now a YouTube Channel (using our old handle) named TeleNovela PH! We are uploading the tagalog dub of Love Spell (Sortilegio) beginning this week! I hope it works!

0521

 So I made judgment call today which I do really believe is for the better. I followed my hunch. I just want to prioritize the present and not worry to much with the future because some don't handle things well! I hope I am right. Please lord

Droplets

It has really been so hectic, my goodness! But of course I like it and I prefer it to be this way of course! Hoping for something to come though because it's been quite awhile waiting for it. I'm patient of course but I really hope it will pour in soon so I can set aside some things!

Panoramic

Another long day ahead, I hope I can finish everything I need to do. Also, one thing I'm putting off will be done this week. I'm nervous as always, but I can't show it for other people's sake. It's hard to be the one to shoulder everything but one good thing about it is that it builds character. I'm definitely not the same as I was 10 years ago, Lord, please guide me.

Ahead

 I try not to think about it but I know deep inside, I'm screwed. I just need to keep things stable as much as I can even if I will be at the losing end. I always have to adjust. I guess it's my fate all along. A payback of some sorts for all the inconvenience I caused decades ago. I have no problem with it in the grand scheme of things but sometimes when you get beaten down for no good reason other than being the easy target, I feel so much resentment. I don't want to feel it but small snide comments I try to brush off still cuts deep. I don't deserve to be treated that way no matter what.  But I really have no choice. Maybe someday I can find some sort of happiness. I wish so. I deserve it too.

Offer

 You did something out of respect and what do you get in return? Nastiness. Misplaced nastiness. You say sorry for nothing bad really because reasoning out is futile. Closed mind. Tired but what else is new. Miserable. Low key misery. Just keep it in. Like always.

Nap

 I took an afternoon nap and had a realistic dream. Yeah, it's my subconscious telling me it's not okay, but I have no choice, right? It's quite a downer but I just have to continue marching on. Lord, give me the strength. 

6K

Okay, I expected this so I didn't have to be surpsied. If they only knew, right? But I'm protecting them and it's a necessity. That's why I was holding off things for this moment. It's just that some things got delayed so I had to resort to do this again. But it's okay, could have been worse. Better than this than the more terrible timeline

Supply

I'm here facing things beyond my control again. It makes me evaluate my choices again. But I know I will still end up in the same place because there is nothing I can do at this point but just be frustrated deep inside and show strength on the outside. But I'm having a hard time. I want something more but still in my comfort zone. I don't know

Filter

I'm tired doing some things but I have to do it for my peace of mind too because some they just don't change and trying to make them realize their flaws is futile. So here I go and I take the plunge. It's irritating most of the time but if I don't do t then there would be unnecessart stress coming and yes, I don't want that!

There

Life's been hectic lately but all good. This is better than be idle. I also appreciate the fact that I don't get to absorb other things anymore unlike the previous one where I understand the need to vent but  I also get affected with negative energy and I can't focus on the things I need to do. But I do care, I just realized I need a safe distance to not get swallowed in. 

Remember?

 One of the busiest I've been and it's still not over! But this one thing I'm doing right now reminds me of the pandemic days and the eerie feeling it once had. It's been six years. Time flies but I'm not nostalgic for that moment. The uncertainty was nerve-wracking

Festi

 I love that this area of Festival Mall Alabang has been practically the same for over 20 years! It's still well-maintained pa rin naman the last I time I'vr been here. Riding the train here was such an exciting moment for 10-year old me back then!

Twist of Fate on YouTube!

 The first two episodes of Solarflixph Pinoy Dub of the Turkish romcom series Twist of Fate are out on YouTube now! I've worked on the dubbing scripts for both episodes. One of the hardest projects I've worked on, but also very enjoyable!

Expires

 My Disney+ annual subscription ends today! I bought one last year when they had a big sale where an annual subscription just cost under 500 pesos! I cancelled immediately so my online debit card will not get auto renewed! I'm always conscious with those things! Anyway, I will subscribe again once they do a promo again lol or just for one month when I actually have spare time to watch! 

Tights

 Jampacked days ahead and I must not waste! I could do all of this if I don't have other duties to do so it's gonna be another challenge for me ahead! But I could do this! I wanted this! I want the blessings to pour in! Because things are not really okay or on shaky grounds! It sucks but such is life!

55

 Always making me feel annoyed. I have a lot in my mind then add unnecessary stress. The cycle goes on. I know I'm being taken advantage but I just accepted it because I don't want drama but i don't know, the annoying powers won't stop.

Waiting Time

 Things are loading up again and it's fine because this at least provides some security. I really hope the things got delayed will finally see the light this week? Crossing my fingers hard!

Drizzle

 Right on the mark of June 1st, the rain came! It didn't alleviate the humidity that much though! But at least it's a little less insane compared to the past couple of weeks. But honestly, I couldn't function better when it's raining compared to the intense summer heat. Commuting is harder too! But oh well, that's how life is! 

Jumbled Minutes

 Because of what I chose to do yesterday.... or not to do... I'm a bit scrambling now. But I stll thimk I made the right choice yesterday though. I felt off so I trusted my instinct. But now, let's face this hurdle! Hurry up!

Read It

 I had an afternoon nap today but I still feel a little restless. It must be the weather, the humidity. I have stuff to do but took a pause on them because I'm not 100%. I take my mind off things lately by surfing on reddit it has become PEx like these days so takes me back and sometimes I like to give opinions and advice too, somehow helps me too.

Four More

 Another sad news I've learned today. Although I had a feeling we're down in the dumps again. Hopefully, next month will see some turnaround. What a rough year. Rollercoaster ride. 

New Gen

 Backrooms getting good reviews! With this, Obsession and Iron Lung from earlier, I'm just happy to see young filmmakers who started on YouTube getting their young audience interested in 'leveling up' their work to the big screen as well. It is honestly refreshing, especially in this era with the relentless AI "don't resist, just deal with it" narrative in the creative space. There's still a big value in human creativity and human to human connection

Festi

 Saw a post on reddit discussing Festival Mall, Alabang with some photos. I just like that the design of the main maill is still basically the same since the 90s. Just sad lang when passing the old cinemas na sarado na. Used to watched movies there regularly. Nung bata ako suki nung Odyssey near the food court, it was Odyssel XL then, malaki talaga sya. I was amazed na tumagal din sya like 2023 lang yata nag close. I also miss yung dating malaking National Book Store too. The Landmark extension is also nice to walk around as well. I know it's part nostalgia, but modern designs of malls today doesn't have character so it was nice to see something that's quite adventorous, I hope they maintain it that wya.

MOA

 I felt off today. Also had intrusive thoughts that thankfully I just kept to myself because things calmed down it really was a non-issue to begin with. This is really something I do  best keeping things to myself to avoid further escalaton. Some call this being a pushover, I don't care, I don't want unnecessary stress on top of regular things I worry about. 

In 13 Days

 My Disney+ subscription is ending after I availed the less than 500 annual plan promo last year! I really enjoyed having it but unless there's another promo, I won't be a regular subscriber, I will be a churner, when there's something I want to see then I subscribe then to make it sulit will watch the catalogue

Dryness

 The heat is so intense! I drank so many cold water today and even ate ice cream but the humidity is relentless! It does not help for some reason our water supply at home is affected and it is so limited now! I can't wait to go the office tomorrow and enjoy the airconditioning! 

Eighty Two

 Finally finish something that for some reason I struggled to do this week! It's a combination of fatigue and also laziness! Anyway, I don't regret sleeping early for the past few nights because one thing I learned if you feel sleepy, go to bed, don't force to stay awake. Body calls, listen.

Stephen Colbert

 

 Stephen Colbert has been my favorite since I randomly saw The Colbert Report on cable.  This is such a lovely way for his show to end, sad but not overdramatic, and best of all with a hopeful tone.

 

Aubry

 Yes, very happy Aubry won Survivor 50! I just love her ever since Survivor: Kaoh Rong! There's a lot of nitpicking with the Survivor fan community, some have nice points but at this point of watching the show, I just love if my faves win! I can appreciate Jonathan's game though and I realy like Joe despite his flaws in the game because he seems like a good person, you can just feel it! I also enjoyed Rizo and his gen z-ness! Cirie is a legend, Tiffany while underedited had a great final episode! I also love Emily and Devens! I was initially skeptical with the casting in the end I loved it in general!

Reddit

 I've been hooked on reddit these days. I've been there since 2018 mainly because it was only the place I can find that discusses the podcasts I followed then. But this year, with more local topics in my timeline, I got hooked. It truly feels like what PEx used to be. 

Sat

 I got excited for this new chapter of this other thing I do. And to think I felt like quitting a month ago when it felt like I'm getting trapped on an unfavorable situation! The great thing my prayers were heard and a solution to the dilemma was served. I know it still won't be that easy but it at least lessens my worries! I still like doing this, I'm build for this, so glad there's a new avenue to work on.

Cuneyt

 Yes, I finished something I was aiming to finish today! It was a little late but I kinda don't regret it because I needed the time and focus for this one although I do admit if I arranged things a little better but what's done is done and I pulled it off! There's still many on the plate and I'm glad for it!

Merhaba

Took an afternoon nap because my body told me so. And now I'm a bit of a rush! It's okay though, I can handle it!  This was just a little harder than I anticipated. We'll work on this better next time.

Apples

 Very challenging day with some things I'm dealing this wile focusing on pulling some other things too! No easy feat and not yet done! I got distracted for a while because my mind wasn't ready yet but I am back in form and let us do this!

Closed

 I made a wrong choice that aggravated something that gave me discomfort today. It sucks but hopefully tomorrow will be better. I don't want this to be an impediment because I have things to do. But I also see this in a way a means for me to take a pause and not go overboard. 

Foot

This one thing I'm working on is quite hard! Definitely a challenge to pull it off. It's fun to do but just difficult to pull off. I need to be in a proper mindset! And the humidity is not helping things!

Avoid

Crazy things happening and I'm avoiding because I don't want to get frustrated anymore. Nothing will ever change. I'm already out of it for so long. Just trying to survive the best way I can! I still keep a glimmer of hope but life thought me to manage expectations along the way.

14DA

 So glad I was able to finish this one, at least my part! This was the one I was stressed about for a few days but so glad I pulled through. I'm always for a challenge, I still have 3 things I NEED to accomplish but I can do this! Let's do it! Being busy also helped a lot for me not to get distracted with outside stressful events! 

Rolling

I was busy all day long and that I didn't check today's news so I was overwhelmed when I saw the news when I got home. So much chaos.  I didn't bother to check the full details because I don't know, the heat is making me feel a little off so I don't this kind of stressful thing in my mind! I can't do anything about this but just feel frustrated anyway!

Bohol

 My parents are back from a two-week vacation in their hometown (Bohol). I'm really glad to see how happy they are and they had a lot of stories to tell. They deserve it so much. My siblings, nephew and aunt joined them tool. I didn't because of work, and really I don't like vacations/travelling! I'm okay having an off day/break at home. Anywya, we picked them up earlier and it was my first time in over a decade to be in NAIA Terminal 3 and I must say it looks nice!

Splashes

One particular interest of mine is is another shaky stage again, I understand what's going on  but it just sucks. But I just have to ignore it because really what I can even do, right? Doesn't directly affect me anyway.  I need to choose things to get too focused on really!

Survivor 50

 Enjoying Survivor 50 so much and I find myself liking Rizo and Devens whom I didn't like in their first seasons but now I find them fun chaotic especially Devens, I really enjoy him irritating Joe lol I now kinda get why they cast Joe again despite a not so remarkable first season because he is a perfect foil to the outlandish personalities, I do think he is an all around nice guy but he is so mopey. I also get the Jonathan casting now too aside that he is the type Probst has a guy crush on, he has brought on more personality this season than his first, which was just a big athletic guy persona. I still don't find anything special on Tifanny for her to return but she's not a bad presence. Also glad Au bry's presence is picking and the girl I rooted to win in Kaoh Rong is felt now! And of course, Cirie even on her 6th season is still the star! She is just so good at keeping things interesting and you really just find yourself rooting for her yet again

[EXH]

 Okay, alright. Let's take it down a notch. Let's not make a big deal over the same thing again. I know it's hard but you owe it to yourself to protect yourself from getting frustrated over things you can simply let go. Oh Dear Lord, please guide me and make me strong to handle everything on my shoulder. I need guidance so I can stay levelheaded despite everything going on. 

Prodding

 I don't want to be annoyed at this point but things keep piling on and I'm already stressed over things that are inconsequential. What a waste, truly. But I can't speak about it because you can't handle the truth anyway and just turn things around and lean on nonsense superstitions. I am trying my best to control the pressure but you keep coming to mess up with my mind in a time that many things are bothering me already! Ugh!

Borbs

 Another stacked week, at all fronts. It's good, a bit tiring but glad to be tired about these things you know. I hope I can pull everything off nicely! Just remembered my mini meltdown over a month ago when I almost thought of doing something else! Good thing I just kept it in and didn't act out. 

Oushing

 I have this certain affinitity with a fictional character right now maybe because I could relate to it somehow. It's funny and yeah ultimately sad. Just one of those days again where I feel so strange yet again. I'll get over it. Let me wallow a little.

Two S

 So I got the energy to do it when it's a little late now! Silly me! Well, there's still time tomorrow but I could have finished it today but  I was a bit carefree! I do love making things more complicated than it should be!

530PM

 Read about a major change in some particular interest of mine. I get the logic behind the move though although it will be strange for it to do this after decades of it staying the same. But with the situation they are in, it makes sense. I hope it works out in the end, they deserve a reprieve

Bella

 Okay, I took a break today! Doing nothing of significance and even got hooked on a YouTube couple that the shorts algorithm led me to hahaha.  I usually avoid this type of vloggers that makes their relationship content because it feels phony but there was something about the couple that felt real to me so I got hooked hahaha. I hope my gut is right that they are genuinely in love especially since they have a child now and won't be like the other problematic YouTubers!

PHM

I made a choice which is ultimately responsible but still deep down I feel a little sad I had to table this stuff for later again. Just so many things I need to take care and it is also the financially sound decision. Rational call but I admit it's a bit saddening. But I'll get over it because overall picture it's not really a big deal! 

Tamam!

Things are coming in and piling up a little which is nice because we need to keep things stable. I have many things to do per usual and hopefully I can manage things better without sacrificing my well-being of course. 

49!

 Today my parents are celebrating their 49th wedding anniversary! Thank you dear Lord for blessing my parents  all these years! One thing I've realized as I grow old is that my parents are indeed a good team together and how they managed to raise us 4 children is so amazing. Hardwork, dedication and of course unconditional love! May the Lord bless my parents always

Ada and Bora

 Watched Twist of Fate's first episode on SolarFlix earlier and I'm just happy to see our dubbing work translate well on screen. I really enjoyed doing this project, it's  such a fun show! I hope they will upload it soon on Youtube so I can share! 

TettaTete

 I just finished listening to all the episodes available of the TettaTete podcast by former FM DJs I listened to before! I'm a big fan of Patty (DJ Kelly on Magic/Play/Max FM), one of my all-time favorites on the radio! I never realized how much I missed listening to her voice, both the vocal quality and the things she says, until I l heard her again after so many years! I love listening to people share their thoughts, especially now that I'm an adult. These kinds of introspective discussions about life hold a lot of meaning to me now!

LSPCON 2026

 I judged a student publication contest organized by my beloved Heraldo Filipino, It's part of the Lasallian Schools Press Conference that they are hosting this year! We hosted this back in 2007 too and was one of the first things I did as newly-appointed EIC. It was such a moment. Glad to be part again after many years. Campus journalism will always have a special place in my heart. 

Two Weeks

 Glad for a safe arrival and I hope they all have a safe and good time. Thank you, Lord. The next two weeks will be interesting to me as well and hopefully I can some things done and also get a little breather not gonna deny. But don't get me wrong, I do love what I do but every now and then I need some breather so I don't get all burned out that I could end up not being grateful in the end. I don't want to feel regret. I am okay with what is now but yes I hope for better ahead days ahead. 

Safe

 I'm getting worried but I know this is the right call. They deserve it and I hope all goes well and nothing stressful happens too. I hate myself for thinking a lot of negative things but I keep it to myself so there won't be unnecessary problems. Dear Lord, please keep them safe always

36 Minutes

 Just a little bit more and I'm done with this gigantic task. I had to extra effort because I was not in top form yesterday and I wasn't able to complete everything needed. But I do think I made the right call listening to my body! Better be safe than sorry

Good job

 After my mini meltdown (to myself per usual) yesterday, I felt a little sick today but then made me remember things I should be grateful for. And the cause of stress I had last night has been fixed and good thing I didn't act out in front of other people because unneccesary problem it would have caused! Anyway, I had to delay some things to do today because I wasn't in form, but tomorrow I'll be back. Needed a break (not even a full break, just took a breather)

Fight

 I'm tired but I need to keep on fighting. I'm stressed but I know it's something manegeable but the heat is just making things a lot harder. It elevates small problems to bigger than it is. It didn't help that I overheard some shady comments earlier too, maybe in jest, maybe acting out of recent events but it's annoying. Then I have a lot of things to do but I took a detour earlier because I was a feeling off then I had to do other stuff in consideration of others. One of those days...

Flight

 The next week is hectic, so many things that needs to get done in a quick manner and on top of that I have to take care of personal things which hopefully will be smooth and persons involved will have a convenient time as well. Thank you Dear Lord because despite my paranod, you hear my prayers, I'm  so grateful, please continue guiding us

IO

 Plot twist! I didn't expect that we will ever have something to do with then! Hopefully it's a good thing but I'm a bit wary about it. 

On Call

 Reading comments on Scrubs' Facebook page, a lot of people say they got used to seeing Neil Flynn as Mike Heck, whereas before they had a hard time seeing him as not The Janitor on The Middle. Honestly, same thought! The revival season is over, and I enjoyed it, but it was way too short, with just 9 episodes. Hopefully, we get 20+ again next season. For now, I will just binge the earlier seasons of Scrubs, which I watched on actual free TV (RPN 9) weekly back in the day.

Pilots

Joined Spotted Ratings community "Pilot" season, which is a little group activity where commenters pitch their pilot concepts and other users rate them later, and top scorers get an "order". It's a little silly on the surface but kinda fun to play armchair TV development executive when I score pilot premises over the years. This time I made pitches for the first time! It was fun and good brain exercise! Let's see how my pitches fair after the judging, ha!

Vibes

I've been wanting to get a massage for weeks and I finally got one today. A little bit of impulse move because I had one after work, I usually my routine and time set but squeezing that massage meant I got home a little later but it's okay. I really needed this one! I always getting a massage from blind masseause, they just do things differently! 

Artemis II

 I was not paying that much attention when it was happening because my mind is all distracted of some many things but today all of a sudden and watching reading about the Artemis II exploration. And I'm so amazed and also somehow emotional too? It really is something out of this world for me to think about deeply

New Suki

Now that the Mercury Drug near our office has closed down, I went to another branch that's also nearby.  It's a little farther than our office and I need to cross another street which is okay but the traffic light takes forever for pedestrians' turn! Anyway, that branch is smaller but at least it's not as crowed as other Mercury branches and it has my essential snacks I want. Convenience stores are more expensive, I want cheaper snacks! Oh well, I still miss the branch near us but that's life

Pantropiko 2026

 

Oh, I really love this Coachella version of Pantropiko! BINI did really great here, I'm proud that did so wel on such a big stage! I feel like this song will yet again regain popularity. It's such a good song and this version is another level.

20 Minutes

Just a little more push and it's all done. Hopefully tomorrow I can settle another one off my list that's been a little delayed but partially settled. It's a little messy and chaotic but I don't know works for me. But it shouldn't be like this always!

Thoughts on Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair

 It was originally pitched as a TV movie and you could feel it!  Anyway, with just 4 episodes it was an easy and fun binge.

Episode 4 is the best of course, Malcolm and Lois confrontation while Craig is doing his business in the toilet! Crazy funny while having the heart of the story.

I liked Hal in general but he was too much in this one. Yes, Bryan Cranston became the biggest name after this show and he is first billed now but episode 3 when he was front and center was a bit painful to watch. He actually had more scenes than Malcom himself 

New Dewey is forgettable and I don't get why the character had to be 'remote' for ep. 4? Maybe they were hoping Erik Per Sullivan would agree in this setup?

Malcolm's daughter was good and funny and I wouldn't mind a series centered on her! The girlfriend is also a good character.

I also liked Kelly, the youngest!

There were less Reese than I hoped but his few moments were fun, Justin's comic timing is just perfect.

It was fun to see Stevie, Malcolm's other childhood 'friends', Francis' friends in ep. 4

While this wasn't fully satisfying, I'm still glad to see this family again and honestly I wanted more!

Grunts

 I went hard today on a specific thing and glad I accomplished it well. Now, there's more ahead I need to get done and hopefully I can make good progress tomorrow so the weekend will be not chaotic, we need to avoid that!

Metropolitan

 Some bad choices were made and I'm paying for it. Sometimes, I never learn! Charge it to experience and to aim for sounder decisions in the future.

First Look

 

Excited for this to finally grace local TV screens! I wrote the dubbing scripts for the first two episodes of Twist of Fate" and so excited to see it be alive on screen! It will premiere this Saturday 8 PM on SolarFlix!

Mid

 This is such a good interview mostly thanks to The Middle's Eden Sher's infectious energy. I love that Eden Sher still remembers they launched with Hank. The interviewer is a bit frustrating, he is kinda clueless on how TV works. Tidbit here was they were kinda tricked to do the Sue spinoff, Eden was not interested at first but she was told the producers wanted to later on she found the producers initially said no but they were told she wanted to do so. I just saw Netflix Philippines will have The Middle on their lineup soon, I'm in a for a rewatch, love that show so much

Rising

 Checked everything off my list! I really had the energy to do a lot of things on Easter day itself! Glad I was able to keep that momentum going so I can lighter load tomorrow. I do have to finish other things but at least some of the things are already done! Hoping for a bright week ahead!

Life is....

 I've been listening to interviews of Frankie Muniz and Justin (Reese) for the Malcolm in  the Middle revival, and from what I gather, it really is supposed to be a TV movie only and it looks like it was Craig's call to make it a 4-episode "event" . Frankie did say the 4 episodes are really just one continuous story and he said that the story left on a good note, that if it's really the last time it would be good place to conclude. But I think Craig wants a series revival, the show is popular overseas especially Latin America because the humor is so easily translatable to non-Americans so could be a good thing for Disney. So excited to watch it next week!

Blinking

 I failed to replicate the thing I did last year. But there's still some progress just not fully focused like last year, it's a mix of geting pre-occuping of that thing that hang over my head for many weeks and general feel laziness! But anywya, psyching myself again to finish this one!

One Minute

 Felt quite relieve the one thing I was anxious and almost made me make a big impusilve decision is taken care off already. Nabunutan ng tink as they say. I know objectively speaking it wasn't really that problematic, I just made mountains out of molehills but it's me. Anyway, tomorrow I need to do something that I held off because I was too worried about this thing that I can't focus on another thing!

Foresee

 Just as I predicted, oh well. I did make a correct choice today though but still this kind of stress / dilemma is unavoidable I guess. I'm trying my best not to get so affected by this because it is out of my control in the end.
