ABS-CBN’s Imortal Series Now on Its Season 2

I’ve blogged about Imortal before, but I just can’t help to share about it again. That must be because things are getting more exciting with it as the days go by, shortly after the Kapamilya Network launched its second season last February 7. More secrets will be revealed and more changes will be happening. I continue to follow the show every night and so far, I’ve never been disappointed. Finally, they have turned Mateo (one of the leading characters played by John Lloyd Cruz) into a vampire! People had been anxiously waiting for that to happen, your truly included. It’s about time they did.

Imortal is actually the sequel to the Lobo Series that took the Pinoy TV viewing public by storm when it hit the primetime slot back in 2008. I also followed that show but I didn’t get as hooked. I still remember though that they had quite an interesting plot and that for the lobos, they used purebred dogs from France instead of real wolves. It was not outstanding but proved to be effective. I had to give it to the production people for the believable action scenes during the encounters between the two warring lobo clans (black and white). I heard they went as far as employing the best dog training guide to execute their action scenes as flawless as possible. And I can see they’re doing the same treatment with Imortal today, what with the nice fight scenes between the vampires and the werewolves in the series.

Mall of Asia on a Friday

Going to Mall of Asia (MOA) on a Friday isn’t always a bright idea. We just came back from the place and it was filled with people dining out and prolly doing some last minute shopping before going home and spending another fun weekend. Traffic was pretty bad on our way home especially as we passed thru CCP Complex. And to think the much-hyped pyromusical wasn’t starting in the next 12 hours.

Heavy traffic and big crowd aside, our trip to MOA was still fun. I was with the boyfriend and his family. We had dinner at Kenny Rogers and I immensely enjoyed my huge Cheeseburger meal. I know, I shouldn’t be eating big time during dinner to avoid gaining more weight, but what could I do? The burger was juicy and flavorful and somehow I felt compelled to finish it. I know I’ve been taking more meat than fiber and that’s the reason my bowel movement has been acting up the past days. I’ll just make it up with my tummy by trying out colonetix or drinking more water than usual. Hehe.

Loving Imortal, ABS-CBN’s Vampire and Werewolf-Themed Fantasy Series

I used to love PCH Kristine Series but when the second book had unfolded, my appetite for it diminished. I think it’s because of 1) the disappearing act of the talented Denise Laurel playing Emerald, 2) the addition of too many characters that somehow made the plot complicated and 3) the too many bed scenes shown. I know I’m not the only one who noticed and didn’t give a nod of approval to some or all these things.

With my reception towards PCH Kristine Series reaching an all-time low, another ABS-CBN teleserye has caught my attention. It’s vampire-werewolf themed and has a stellar cast. Two of my favorite local celebrities are in it, Angel Locsin and John Lloyd Cruz. The war between vampires and werewolves may be old but let’s admit it, we continue to find it compelling. This is basically what Imortal, a fantasy series, is playing into. But to make it appealing to the younger generations, they injected a love story ala Romeo and Juliet and a prophecy that could change the lives of the lead characters forever.

Life Sans Internet

It’s been two days of no internet in the office. No, we didn’t encounter any technical problem. It’s just that, we had our tables and cabinets revarnished and we had to unplug our internet hub lest we clutter our workplace. We’re still waiting for the maintenance boys to return our newly-varnished tables and we’ll be back to normal (internet-wise).

While waiting for the internet to spring back to life again, I was able to write some posts for my blogs. I was also able to arrange my computer files neatly in folders. Haha. That should give you a clue on how bored I was during the past two days. I felt like I was restless and unable to function properly.

Movie Buff Alert: Star Movies Movie Marathon Promo

I’m a self-confessed movie buff. But unlike others who frequent the cinema house for their regular movie fix, I watch movies online. It’s the most practical choice, ever. But I have to wait a while before getting my hands on new movies as it takes some time before some good soul uploads them for every netizen to enjoy. And unlike others who download movies first before seeing them, I watch mine on site after the buffering has finished.

Speaking of movies, I am definitely trying my luck on Star Movies Movie Marathon promo! Get the details courtesy of PhilStar.com after the jump:

Rated: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

I like Nicolas Cage as an actor and so I follow his every movie whenever I can. I just finished watching The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Cage’s latest film. Here, he plays a Merlin-trained sorcerer trying to defend New York from the hands of his former bestfriend who’s now an evil sorcerer. He makes an apprentice out of a science nerd who happens to be a very important sorcerer without his knowing it.

Together with the apprentice, Cage’s character Balthazar Blake tries to keep Merlin’s arch enemy from taking over the world through a destructive spell. For the apprentice, it’s a great test of character as he unleashes his hidden gift to save mankind and open up his true feelings for his childhood sweetheart. For the sorcerer, it’s completing his mission of finding Merlin’s successor and reuniting with the love of his life.
