TV SERIES

 Sunday afternoon was reserved for watching several episodes of  HOUSE starring HUGH LAURIE. Yup, that diagnostic physician was really eccentric and outrageous. After you watched his acting as being a weirdo sort of, you might think that it was side effect of the pain medication that he used to take that made him do the impossible such as "drugging his own best friend" so that he can read his written manifesto on the subject of "Euthenasia" to the shock of the people around him at the conference room who were all doctors just like him. It earned him some positive review as being courageous. Death sentence for patients who need "mercy killing"  is something of a taboo and he handled it like it's not a big deal. 

THE WORLD BEYOND. Darn it! To the point that I beginning to like watching it then Demi Moore died in one of the scenes. What the hell! Keep her alive, daimyo!

HWARANG. Dogbird continued to pretend as King Jinheung and had a duel (swordfight) with the Prince of Bieksa. Dogbird won the duel and they were released from bondage except Ahro and the impoverished men, women and children. That's another conflict for Dogbird and Ji Dwi to handle. To be continued.

ANG SA IYO AY AKIN. Maricel Soriano in her very special role as the biological mother of Marissa Pineda and the yaya of  Ellice who is married to playboy Gabriel. Recent episodes featured Gabriel going home early but never gets home to Ellice and Marissa being the "reporter now" reporting every move of Gabriel to Ellice. Envy, jealousy, distrust, disloyalty, greed, deception are the main event theme on-going at this Filipino drama made for TV. With Agatha and Meredith adding to the turmoil of the cheating ways of Gabriel could add up to Ellice's problem of trust. Hay naku! Magaganda naman silang babae bakit pulos kay Gabriel ang focus nila. LOL. This movie is wrong. You should have include other handsome guys. FGS! There are too many single handsome men in Philippines. Meron nga ba?

By the way, THE GOOD DOCTOR will return on November 2, 2020. Wow! The long waiting game...for the return of Freddie Highmore  as Dr. Shaun Murphy.

That means, THE WALKING DEAD will come back earlier in October 2020.

Believe It Or Not

 I was shocked beyond shocked about the episode "Distractions" of HOUSE tv series. The story was about a father and son went ATV driving on a rugged path on the hill and they had so much fun until when the son asked his father that he can drive the ATV. At first the father was reluctant because his son was still not at the right age driving such sporty vehicle, however he get along with it and let his son drove it but something strange happened and the son got no control of the vehicle as he drove faster and faster and the fatal accident happened. They end up at the hospital. Dr. House was busy reading a Hindi magazine when called to do the diagnostic test by Dr. Foreman. The boy had severe body burns, alive but unconscious. Here's the unbelievable story of having the burn victim's hands and legs in buckets of water and about to be electrocuted!? What? Why? FGS!! Is that how doctor's treat burn victims? The patient looks like crab or do they think of that boy as a crab? Maybe lobster?

Dr. House was heavily medicated for his ailment that never go away. Part of it was, he was taking pain medication and the side effects are such a burden to his job as medical officer. Although he is a brilliant doctor his ailment is causing an uproar to what is the norm of conducting moral and ethical boundary in medicine, however the rest of the resident doctors still followed his medical advice and if not Dr. House will take matters in to his hands. Just like when he wants to talk to the burn victim patient (almost in a coma) wanting him to answer to his inquiry if it need be by injecting a serum. What's that? Is that for real or just fiction? 

I don't know if the television series is based on true story or fiction but the unconventional treatment of their patients are unheard of and it becomes "believe it or not." And one false move sa bilibid ang punta ni Dr. House. However, can you sue a doctor who is mentally deranged or having mental disorder? He wont go to jail for malpractice, he'll be sent to mental hospital. 

Note: However, sometimes...Dr. House's unconventional (not traditional) medical practice may seemed absurd and ridiculous,  his hypotheses are somewhat true and that helped the team of doctors to find out what to cure and how to cure their patients.

TV SERIES

 HOUSE. There was a marathon of medical tele-series HOUSE starring Hugh Laurie as Dr. House. In one of the episodes Dr. House voluntary admitted himself at the Psychiatric ward at the Mental Hospital because his "hallucination is persistent and he is almost going crazy and he needs medical help from psychiatrists." However, based from his own observation that the patients in the institution where he is also a patient made him looked at himself as normal. He wants to get out but the chief psychiatrist don't let him out until he is really cured and he must take the prescribed drugs. Dr. House tried to ask some of the mental patients to help him out. 

HOUSE is the series you would take seriously for an hour especially if you are subservient to the medicines you are taking in your mouth. All medicines, all drugs have side effects. Whether you like it or not there's no perfect medicines.

SCHITT'S CREEK. I have seen some trailers of Schitt's Creek but don't really watch it on TV. Look at them now with 5 EMMY Awards.

I wonder why some of my favorite shows and series never win such as : BIG BROTHER, THE GOOD DOCTOR, FBI, SEAL TEAM, NCIS,  MACGYVER, THE WALKING DEAD, FEAR THE WALKING DEAD... when supposedly great acting, great stories, incredible historical drama series, superbly talented artists should win right?

I don't really know some of  the criteria that makes it but I can predict the winners for the OSCAR'S and GOLDEN GLOBE's.

Whatever. 

 

Hwarang tonight at TFC Channel  

Ang Sa Iyo Ay Akin also at TFC

I hate watching the news on TV. It's been 6 months of the pandemic scare and no vaccine for covid or coronavirus yet.

THE GAME

 BIG BROTHER 22 All Stars: David was evicted. Dani has chosen Tyler side by side with Kevin for the next eviction. However when Davonne won the mini-medal POV she used it to save Kevin instead and Dani has to choose another houseguest for eviction. Ian was chosen for eviction side by side with Tyler. Tyler or Ian? How Tyler can save himself from eviction is there another game to counter act what Dani's plan all along or the choice would be at the hands of the houseguests's votes. Dunno what will happen next. Just watch it for yourself at Ch. 104 Global, 8pm Thursday/Sunday/Wednesday. I don't like Dani you know? Tyler is better than Dani. But Big Brother is a game. It is somewhat cunning. When you think Davonne would be evicted then for whatever reason the racism played the entire RACISM issue. If its an issue of colors, why not everyone paint themselves in COLORS? If Dani doesn't like Tyler. I don't like Dani. If Tyler becomes the first juror then you know that they can play another set of rules and another set of game. 

CORRECTION: David was not evicted. He used his power of disruption (he being the disruptor!)

HWARANG: I couldn't believe that Hwarang is an old mini-series produced in 2016 - 2017? (meaning, series that only last up to months not series annually just like those NCIS, FBI, The Walking Dead,  that are serially shown for more than 5 years). Whatever it is still worth watching every night at TFC Channel.

Episodes: The cruel queen mother of Ji Dwi asked her princess daughter to kill Ahro. So the princess set up a diabolical plot to assassinate Ahro through "a game of hunting in the forest." The hwarangs participated in the game to hunt wild animals and whoever can kill a deer would be the winner. It was Ji Dwi who shot a deer first and he was the winner however, loud screaming called his attention and found out that Dogbird was hit by an arrow almost close to his heart (to protect Ahro he used his own body as a shield). Ji Dwi followed her sister, the princess and told her that he wont ever forgive her is she do it again. Ahro managed to care for Dogbird once again. Good that the wound caused by the arrow is not too deep. The next day, in front of the prying eyes of the hwarangs, a banner was unscrolled from the pavillion and it stated that " the King is one of the Hwarang." The master hwarang can't believe it either and ripped a piece of the scroll banner and it fell on the grounds. Ji Dwi was flabbergasted, Dogbird was stunned and so as Ahro. They were there at the grounds until it rained. The rest of the hwarangs took off leaving Ji Dwi, Ahro and Dogbird took the fallen ripped banner where he saw the symbol that corresponds to the bracelet he once had before. Rumors circulated the hwarang headquarters and Ahro searched for Ji Dwi and promised that she wont reveal who he is. TO BE CONTINUED.

What's Really The CAUSE of COVID-19 and Coronavirus?

 January 2020 - Wildfires and bush fires in Australia. It was like raging bull. Almost unstoppable, almost uncontrollable!  Canadian firefighters traveled to get there to rescue the raging uncontrollable wild fires causing human lives and millions upon millions of animals and almost extinct exotic wild life. It was chaotic. The smoke had its wide spread almost through out the continent of Australia reaching as far as ISS (International Space Station). Damage? BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOSSes. maybe trillions of dollars!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You can just stop at quadrillions!

Look at this vector:

                                                         Image: c/o Google

If those toxic smokes and toxic volcanic debris reached the ISS then definitely those debris were siphoned first by airplanes (thr. its ventilation) and experiment balloons within the trophosphere before it reached the stratosphere, mesosphere, thr. thermosphere lastly through the exonosphere. You wished the black holes are vacuums and can vacuum the whole entire toxic fumes and gases out away from planet Earth.

 

January 2020 - Epidemic in Wuhan, China. EPIDEMIC. Only in China. The population of China is in BILLIONS. The population of Wuhan, China? Where did they get those exotic animals?

Then the sudden volcanic eruption of  the smallest volcano in the world,  TAAL VOLCANO spewed its ashes. Volcanic ashes are definitely TOXIC and definitely worst than asbestos. Worse if not worst than ASBESTOS! Parts of Luzon province was covered with cloudy smoke due to the ashes from the fury of Taal Volcano. Millions of people were affected by such eruption not just by those toxic ashes but because earthquake, tremors and aftershocks accompanied such activity. Evacuation happened as swiftly as possible. Nobody is really immune to such toxicity of volcanic ashes. People were asked to cover their mouths and noses with face masks. There's not much available mask and if there's any, some business-minded people are hoarding them. That's according to the news on TV. 

It's not only Taal Volcano that's causing volcanic activity in the world. There are other volcanoes under water causing such problems and you wonder why ocean water is somewhat warmer.

What are the many illness and ailments accompanied by such volcanic eruptions, smoke from wildfires, and from eating wild animals? 

You don't have to take Medicine degree and Nursing degree to know what will happen after all those wildfires, volcanic eruption, and eating unedible food consumption lead to stomach flu (symptoms: diarrhea and high fever).

SMOKE from wildfires can get into your eyes. You'll have headaches. It can get so severe. If you have allergy, you'll have skin rashes. You'll have flu-like symptoms. If it get worse, then you'll have pneumonia or bronchitis (or any respiratory problems), you will have a hard time breathing, grasping for air and oxygen. Severe, extreme diagnosis? Collapsed lungs, heart attack or stroke. 

Is it VIRUS? Is mesothelioma caused by virus? Asbestos. Cancer. Virus can also cause cancer cells to be malignant. But is it really virus?

ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS due to TOXIC WASTE or Nuclear waste. Can you get flu-like symptoms with toxic waste? Of course!! Most of the diagnosis could be: TB, Hepatitis, leukemia, skin cancer, lymphoma, too many Cancerous cells (Cells dividing and multiplying crazy).

Worse of all worst? If the patients encountered SIDE EFFECTS or adverse reactions from taking wrong prescribed drugs.

Do you have immunity?  Who are not immune against forces of nature? The robots! Only the NON-HUMAN BEINGS are immune to any kind of illness. 

Yup, until now they are still in search for JESUS CHRIST and GOD.

The search is far from over.

SERIES

Two episodes of SEAL TEAM were featured yesterday one at History Channel and one at CTV or Global? Whichever. Seal Team, the Bravo Team. I first thought the tv series is only shown on Wednesday night.
------------
Tonight is the continuation of BIG BROTHER show at 8 pm Global. Christmas is the new HOH and Bayleigh & Davonne will compete for the POV game.
------------
What happened at HWARANG? Ahro already recovered from despair of knowing Dogbird is not her brother and that her true brother is already dead. Dogbird saved the Princess from being bitten by a poisonous snake at the lagoon. The princess has to live inside the Hwarang's headquarter as she desired to observe the hwarang's practice for the grand ceremony dedicated to the queen. However, one of the hwarangs was assigned to an evil task of  sabotage but unable to do it because he was caught by Dogbird (another accomplice had managed to wreck all the musical instruments). Ji Dwi was missing and so as Dogbird, curiosity led Ahro to find out that Ji Dwi was the son of the queen and he was the missing King Jinheung, however she was caught by the queen's personal bodyguard.

To be continued tonight.
------------
ANG SA IYO AY AKIN. Filipino drama. From what I heard, what was happening to Elice was sort of "karma." This is an episode from its beginning: Elice 's suitor followed her at the beach and acting very arrogant that she accidentally forcefully pushed him away and landed on a big slab of rock, hit his head and died. Marissa came into rescue and admitted that she was the one who caused all the trouble because she was indebted from Elice and her family and she was imprisoned, harassed, punched and raped while in jail. However, Elice got away from murder and left Philippines to study in America. That's where she met Gabriel and they got married. Elice's father died and she inherited the business. Marissa came out of prison and the mother Luciana (played by Maricel Soriano) who was very loyal to Elice who keep caring and supporting Elice since she was a baby, doesn't even know what happened to her own daughter. I know, that's stupid! Stupid story.

The latest episode: The baby Hope was saved from death when a surgeon (heart specialist) came to the rescue. Gabriel and Elice had a fight before that but everything's fine between the couple now and Marissa is now at the helm of  envy and jealousy, feeling sorry for her son Jacob. Who is the true, real daddy of Jacob? I don't know. It could be Gabriel.
------------
There are too many new series coming up soon in October 2020.

The World Beyond
NEXT
Some series are available in Netflix which we don't subscribe

And why we watch HWARANG?  It's because of this guy! Multi-talented Korean action star/dramatic actor/musician-singer/dancer/comedian   PARK HYUNG SIK

Continuation Of Mini-Series

I had a long nap time yesterday afternoon and when I woke up, my daughter was delighted watching an old movie of Kevin Bacon. Not the FOOTLOOSE, but the movie TREMORS. It was a marathon of  TREMORS, the movie yesterday. She likes the suspense thriller that after we watched HWARANG last night, she continued to watch the last sequels of the Tremors movie.

What happened to HWARANG? The Friday episode: Ah-ro found out already that Dogbird is not really her brother. Ah-ro was devastated and walked away crying to where her legs can go and Ji Dwi followed her wherever she goes. Ji Dwi tried to give her a small purse of silver to stop her from crying bu she didn't accept the gift. She continued to cry and cry and when she didn't stop from crying, Ji Dwi promised her that he will kill whoever made her crying uncontrollably for such a long period of time. The rest of the hwarang continued to practice their dance routine and some of them practice their musical instruments, all these under the supervision of Dogbird's caregiver who actually is a musician/artist/teacher. Whatever.

MACGYVER. Last night's episode, Mac finally met his aunt Gwendolyn (sister of his mother) who abducted him and his father, including the survivalist-renegade. His aunt had hidden agenda that Mac cannot understand although she explained that their mission was pioneered by his own mother still he cannot believe, until his own father offered his life to save him and escaped being captured again.

What so strange about Macgyver series? There are so many technocrats,  self-improvised gadgets you think that is impossible become possible. Such as using a pocket knife wrapped around with wires to pull out piece of shrapnel from a wounded victim. The power of magnet.

Did you know that MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) can do such function too? If you have hidden microchip in your body, the powerful machine can also magnetize any metals from your body and head. However, a high-powered MRI can take any magnets from your body and head (wherever the focus of the laser) and next thing you know you'll lose your gravity.  You will need a metal attached to your body for you to be able to walk or  stand on the ground.

MRI when used for evil purposes can take your whole life, your whole power of being a human. It's a life changing machine. What you are born with should not be taken that way. Watch your work ethics at the MRI Department.

The question of whether you have "metals" in your  body, legs and hands? Can you use your cellphone, tablets, computers and press, slide and move cursor by the touch of your hands and fingers? Although tech gadgets and machines are powered by electricity and batteries... your hands and fingers have ions and magnets to move, grab and grasp things.

BIG BROTHER 22 ALL STARS. Kaysar was evicted from Big Brother House and another game was held for the next HOH. Christmas won and is now the current Head Of Household. The POV is up for grabs next episode on Sunday.

Hm, let's tackle the Filipino drama starring the Philippine's diamond star Maricel Soriano in the mini-series ANG SA IYO AY AKIN. I don't really like this kind of drama. It is a complicated story of friendship, love, loyalty, passion, revenge, hidden motive with legal implications, wicked and evil. Last night episode, Elise (bestfriend of Marissa) continued to do the vigil of caring for her sick baby daughter at the hospital, she made sure that the nurse wont fall asleep while looking after the baby Hope while inside the incubator for further medical assistance, care and support on her frail body because it seems that the powerful antibiotic is almost failing her. While Marissa continued to work at Elise's company together with Elise's husband. All the while Marissa 's plan is progressing, gaining support from Elise's employees and Gabriel taking care of her baby Jacob at the office. Marissa's mother support Elise's at the hospital making sure that she was looking after herself. Weird? What's weird actually is the two miscarriage that happened to Elise. Can stressful job the cause of (2) miscarriage of Elise's baby? Then how come the third baby has infection? What kind of mother is Elise? Is she not a healthy woman? How a wealthy woman carried an infected baby? What's in the hospital? What kind of pregnancy she had? Is she a very careless woman or she is a woman with underlying illness she never knew about? At the emergency room at the hospital, Elise was given an injection on her tummy by the attending physician. She is pregnant about to deliver a baby. What's that injection about? If its epidural, the injection should be at the back, to the spine. If the baby is about to let go after the patient has a hemorrhage, do the doctor has the right to give injection on her tummy? that's not amniocentesis? What could be? Anaesthesia?  Why the baby Hope has infection?
The story is FICTION maybe, but it is mind boggling and suspicious. Well, that's the mystery and suspense there and Gabriel's eldest sister is becoming suspicious too.

TO BE CONTINUED.

TV Shows & Mini-Series

TELEVISION or TV has a way of connecting most of us who rely on modern technology.

When suddenly IRAQ is mentioned in the airwaves, suddenly G.W. get into the picture on TV screen as in automatically. Wow! That's how fast they are! Almost robotic.

Then suddenly, here comes this guy who happened to be on Comedy show. At first, you would have thought he is the real deal but he is just the "impersonator." He's got the voice of G. W. Bush!!!!! His face has similarities with the former US Pres. Bush. Who that guy is? He is Terry Guarrin. A stand-up comedian and he is very talented at what he does and he is very funny!
-----------------------------------------------------------
 HWARANG: Finally, Ah-ro was able to repay her debts from Ji Dwi and has erased the black crescent temporary tattoo on her arm with her saliva. She followed the rule, when she could just washed herself or  have a shower and that would erase the non-permanent tattoo or tag. Anyway, the five hwarang escaped from their quarter after giving a strong wine to their teacher and guards. Each one of them had destination to go where their legs would go. Ji Dwi to the palace where his queen mother lives and he tried to sit on her throne. Dogbird, joined his "family" in offering prayers for the deceased member of his family, her "mother who happened to be a mute" as what Ah-ro said. One hwarang was mistaken to be the brother of Ah-ro's female bestfriend (Kim Soo) and was indecently touched on his bum causing an uproar and commotion in the open air village and here comes the brother Soo ho who wants to rescue his sister from disgrace about to club the hwarang but the sister was so quick to hit his own brother to stop the mess, the error of her own act. Weird comedy of error.

(The queen mother fell ill and Anji (Ah-ro's father the doctor) was called for diagnosis. Unknown to many people in the Silla Kingdom, Anji and the queen had a relationship before she got married the 70 year old King).


As usual,  the next day,  the five hwarangs (lead characters) were punished once again. Back to Ah-ro who was still confused sort of unable to proceed with the task of doing the laundry on the pond or stream of water. Not much water on that place eh? Mababaw. Not too deep enough. Dogbird joined her and he said he will help her but Ah-ro was always staring at him confused and she really doesn't believe that he is his true brother. Later on, Ah-ro joined her bestfriend Kim Soo and they had a drink at the wine store.

To be continued.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BIG BROTHER 22 All Star: Enzo is the new HOH and nominated Kaysar & Kevin for eviction. The POV (Golden Power of Veto) was put to the test on "Endurance test" and the winner is Kevin. Kevin used the POV to keep him safe from eviction, and that leave Enzo to nominate Christmas for eviction side by side with Kaysar. Why Christmas?

After having 12 babies? After all the waking up late at night and early morning to care for her babies?

Poor Christmas! Such a pity, we have to empathize with Christmas having so many sleepless nights and days for having so many star babies to look after.
