The Bernardo Show

There is something in me nowadays that I’m sure my friends will be surprised of.. I am watching an ABS-CBN show, My Binondo Girl.. My friends very well know na I’m a supporter of GMA-7, even before I enter college.. I even reached a point wherein I join debates/discussions about GMA versus ABS, defending the side of the Kapusos.. So what happened?

A few weeks ago, I learned that my ultimate idol, Ms. Regine Velasquez, will be singing the theme song of an upcoming series in ABS-CBN. And the series happened to be My Binondo Girl, with Kim Chiu as the lead star. Tracing back my TV history, the only season of Pinoy Big Brother (PBB) na I was able to watch was the season of PBB Teens where Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson were discovered. Eh ano ngayon? Marami naman nang naging series si Kim Chiu ah. Pinanood ko ba?
So why did I chose to watch my Binondo Girl? First, it’s because of Regine. I got curious why she agreed to sing the theme song of the said series. Aside from that, I really loved the song, which is an original composition by the Songwriter Mr. Ogie Alcasid. The second reason is Kim Chiu, uhm, do I miss her? She actually impressed me with her acting after I saw the teasers.

Third reason is the story itself. Others say na there’s nothing new with the show. The story has been used na daw for so many teleseryes before. But for me, My Binondo Girl is different. It’s a breather for all the heavy dramas shown on primetime TV. And I can relate to the story. Actually, while I was watching the August 30 episode of the show, I got carried away and I cried along with Yuan/Jade. She cried because her father already recognized her as the son. In my 23 years of existence I always dreamt of the day na my father will recognize me as his son. :’-(

And the fourth reason why I watched this show is Xian Lim. This actor caught my attention after watching his past performances (Maynila episodes). He even got me more when I watched his videos on his YouTube Channel. After that, I found his Facebook Fan Page and I also became an instant member of his fans club. Waah! Anyare? Haha. ‘He’ even made me signup for a Tumblr account because of the official Tumblr account of the Xianatics. And he got me more active on Twitter because I now follow his Twitter account as well as that of the Xianatics.

Haha, anyare ba saken? Well, that’s life siguro talaga. Change is constant and permanent. At least, this is something that helps me cope up with the hardships I am going through these past few days.

P.S. Sorry if I have a lot of typo and grammatical errors is this post, I haven’t slept for the whole night and I’m kinda sabaw na. Please feel free to correct me. Thanks!
