Boy Abunda's The Bottomline

I am a fan of the one year old reality talk show "The Bottomline" because I admire how Boy conducts his interviews to the most controversial and influential personalities not only in the country but abroad as well.

One thing more, the concept of the said show is not the usual type of a reality talk show wherein it's just between the interviewer and interviewee. I love the discussion part of the bottomliners because I get to hear variety of views and opinions from different opinionated people and there I am learning. I am fascinated on how Boy was able to get frank and honest answers from the guests because not all talk show hosts have this ability. The bottomline is, more power to the country's King of Talk, Boy Abunda.

Gandang Gabi Vice

One of the tv shows I really look forward to is Vice Ganda's Sunday evening show.

I just simply love it coz' it's my way of treating myself after all the mommy stuffs I have to do after office work. The show brings out the child in me. I keep on laughing during the entire show. It seems so "mababaw" of me but that's simply me. And I get to discharge all the negative vibes by just simply watching and laughing afterwards. I really love all the punchlines of Vice Ganda, they're so havey na havey and "lakas ng dating". More power to you and your show!

I'm looking forward to meeting you in person someday.

Great Love & Great Tragedy Go Hand in Hand

The title of my post really caught my attention while watching the interview of Nicholas Sparks at The Bottomline with Boy Abunda. This was exactly the answer of Nicholas when asked why some of his novels are about love and tragedy.  Sparks is one of the best novelist I've ever known. He is one among the bestselling authors worldwide. But amid all the achievements, he is still very humble. Hopefully, someday I'll meet him in person and get a chance to talk to him.
Some of his works are the following:
The Best of Me (latest)

Safe Haven

The Last Song

The Lucky One

Dear John

The Choice

At First Sight

True Believer

Three Weeks With My Brother

The Guardian

The Wedding

Nights In Rodanthe

A Bend in the Road

The Rescue

A Walk To Remember

Message in a Bottle

The Notebook

Wokini (means seeking a new beginning or seeking a new vision)

One of my favorites among his works is "A Walk To Remember", it is a very touching story. It proves that great love really exists because that's the ending I want for the novel. But nevertheless, when we say great love it is always coupled with tragedy. When I say tragedy, it may be a problem or a challenge that someone will experience for the sake of great love. But the bottom line is, great love is a treasure that's why once you've found it, do everything to keep it for life.
