TKA has finally started airing in ABS

the pilot episode of the tagalized version of they kiss again (it started with a kiss 2) has finally begun airing yesterday, july 29, 2008 at about 4:45 pm after the mexican novela "las tontas" in abs-cbn. amazingly, though i've watched the english subbed series a million times already, i still can't help but laugh when i saw the series dubbed in tagalog. finally, michael and jeannie are now speaking in filipino.. hihihi Ü

this series is really funny... just one of the few dramas (out of about 50 or 60 that i've watched) that kept me wanting for more... i just can't get enough of jiang zhishu (michael jiang, the lead guy portrayed by Joe Cheng) coz he's so super kawaii!!!! hihihi Ü

kidding aside, this is really one of my personal favorites. i really loved their story a lot. maybe because i'm usually enticed by romantic comedy dramas with super hard to get i-don't-care-about-you lead guys and super head over hills i-will-do-anything-for-you-martyr lead girls which in the end of course would be the opposite. on this one though it's not totally the opposite, but you'll see that jeannie's (xiang qin) efforts have been reciprocated... that made me so super KILIG! when this was still airing in taiwan, i had no way but to wait weekly for the uploaded episodes online thru overstream.net and i spent several minutes downloading the scenes. i constantly checked everyday for newly uploaded episodes and i had to saty up til noon though i have a shift later at night... i did all those but i never got tired... Ü

if you're looking for a drama where you'll burst out of laughing, ran out of tissues crying and learn a lot of lessons in life, then this is one drama i'd really recommend... it's really worth watching. you won't be disappointed... i wasn't... Ü

i just love arjoe so much! and needless to say, i've been addicted to joe cheng for almost 2years now! that's since ISWAK aired in the philippines... sorry, but i really can't help it... Ü

new TKA time slot

at looooooooooooong last!!! after waiting for almost two months... finally... ABS began re-airing the teasers for the much awaited sequel of It Started With A Kiss (ISWAK) : They Kiss Again (TKA). they initially released teasers in May of this year saying that TKA will be aired during saturdays and sundays at 10 am but this did not push thru... i was so excited when i heard that news but i felt equally disappointed when it was postponed.

now, projected air date of the pilot episode is on July 28. however, there's no specific time mentioned as of yet. but since the only drama/series that's about to end in two weeks time is Romantic Princess which airs 4.30 pm daily, this will probably take over this slot... which is better for me actually than airing it in primetime bida since i'm in the graveyard shift, i won't be able to watch it when i'm in the office. but my most preferred time slot is the initial schedule announced before, that is airing on weekends... that would have been much better because i'm always off on weekends... :P

but this is better than nothing... though i've seen the subbed version a million times, i still can't wait to see the tagalized version, because i'm super duper sure that it would be funnier! just two more weeks and i'm gonna see my Joe Cheng as ZhiShu... oh, i mean Michael Jiang...

just take your time, i'll always wait for you.. wink*wink*

where's TKA?

until now, there's no shedule released yet for the ISWAK sequel They Kiss Again (TKA). and honestly, i'm getting quite disappointed with ABS because of this. they shouldn't have released teasers saying that the series will be aired on saturdays and sundays @ 10 am starting may 31, 2008 if it's not true...

...

to enlighten myself, i just think that they received the petition submitted by TKA fans for the air time change from week ends to primetime bida. they may just be having a hard time deciding when they would air it. i actually did sign that petition. not because i also want to change the air time previously announced... that's actually perfect for me since i'm always off on weekends. if they'll be putting this in primetime bida, the more that i won't be able to watch it. the reason i signed it is because i wanted ABS to bring the cast here in the philippines to personally promote their series... only for that, no more... no less...

...

now i'm like waiting in eternity. when are they planning to show it? i've been so excited to watch the tagalized version since i knew they've started dubbing last may 6. but now, i'm left hanging and dying to see Michael Jiang (Joe Cheng) on tv...

postponed?

OMG!!! after all the anticipation... after doing a countdown... after being so much excited for the pilot episode of They Kiss Again (TKA) that i even postponed my metrowalk thingy... now what? why did i do that? only to find out that the airing will be re-scheduled... waaaaahhhhh!

just a week ago, they showed a teaser that the pilot episode will air today at 10 a.m. and the succeeding episodes every saturdays and sundays. then days later, they showed another drama, Strawberry on a Shortcake (SOS), which they say will be aired back-to-back with TKA. this got me confused. then yesterday, another commercial was shown, saying Lovespell previous episodes will be aired on saturdays at 10 a.m. so where the hell is TKA? so far they haven't showed any new teaser with the new air time...

sigh... this is quite disappointing... i was very ecstatic of the fact that they will be airing it this soon, but suddenly they pulled out. is this because of the petition i signed for the TKA Airtime? i wonder when this will be scheduled finally... i hope soon!!!

this really makes me sad...

sooner than i thought

259,200 seconds... 4,320 minutes... 72 hours...
clock is ticking... hours winding down... time is slipping fast...
i never really thought it would be shown this soon...
but of course i definitely want it this way....
wehehehe sounds like BSB... :P

hearing that the sequel of ISWAK has started filming in march 2007 made me really ecstatic... i was so excited to see jiang zhishu again! haha from the news i saw online (i checked from time to time since i heard the news...), filming ended in october 2007. then it aired in taiwan from december 16, 2007 to april 27, 2008... yes, the last episode was just aired 4 weeks ago. i knew before april ended that ABS will be doing this project but i never thought they would be airing it this soon. i thought this would be shown sometime in july or august... but to my big surprise, it will be starting on may 31...

just 3 more days to go...
waaaaahhhh!!! i'm so excited to see joe cheng! Ü
wo ai ni zheng yuan chang!!! Ü

T.G.I.S.

Thank God It's Saturday!!!

once again... it's my OFF at long last!!! :P

like the usual, there was much work to do in the office. the week seemed so long. i guess i'm feeling more tired because i know i won't be getting anything out of it... sadly...

moving on... i actually planned going to metrowalk to shop DVDs after my shift last night, but i decided to postpone it because i had no one to accompany me. the person that was suppose to come with me was on off. besides, i have to catch the last episode of PRINCESS HOURS (rewind) in abscbn... though i've watched it a million times, i still can't afford to miss it, i love janelle and gian so much!!! bloopers will be shown tomorrow, sunday. since the rewind has finished, of course, there's a new drama taking over the air time slot. surprisingly, it's my long awaited/anticipated favorite taiwanese drama ISWAK2: They Kiss Again (TKA). It will be airing saturdays and sundays at 10 a.m. starting may 31, 2008. abs has been showing several teasers of the drama and everytime i see the interstitials, i get super excited that i can barely wait to watch the tagalized version... am so anxious to see michael (zhishu) jiang [JOE CHENG] again... i've actually been dying to see him again... :P

...

but here comes my dilemma... how am i suppose to schedule my metrowalk thingy? for sure, i will be anticipating each episode every weekend that it would really be very hard for me to schedule outings, trips, hanging out with friends, etc. now i would need to go to metrowalk on a weekday (same goes for all other activities/appointments i'll have), but is that even possible? how will i sleep when i have a shift the next day? and i've just got 2 hours after my shift, i have to be home by 10am sharp on weekends. even malls are not yet open by 6am, where would i go and what can i do in just 2 hours? waaaaaahhhhhh! this is really stressing me!!! what's good though is, i'll surely have a very nice weekend during my OFF coz i'll be seeing JOE CHENG... that alone can somehow compensate all the postponed/delayed/cancelled activities that i won't be able to attend... wehehehehe :P

just because i love you.. :P

>> TKA addict <<

TKA project sa dos

i got a text message from my friend yesterday that really made me insane... that was the best news i've heard since 2008 began... haha ;p

the most recent drama that has been keeping me crazy for about 4 months now will soon be dubbed in tagalog. she said ABSCBN will be doing the ISWAK 2: They Kiss Again (TKA) project. Well, that's just right because they did the first season, so this is where the drama really belongs... besides, i think it won't be as beautifully dubbed and synched if the other station will be taking over.. hehe ;p she said the pilot dubbing will start on may 6 and she'll be one of the writers... and may be one of the dubbers too... wink*wink*... yes, you heard me right... may be one of the dubbers.

...
...

i was actually sad that day... because the drama had ended, the last episode aired in Taiwan on 4/27. after thinking it had 28 episodes in total, it only had 20. now there's no more reason to keep up til noon to watch online streaming of the english subbed version in overstream.net. no more reason to look forward for the next episode coz it's finally finished... no more excitement... no more thrill thinking what's gonna happen next... then the text message came in... it was just in the nick of time, it actually made my day! there was so much happiness and excitement that i can't contain... from super low, i bounced way up high! Ü

the news came straight from my friend Margo who dubbed Vicky Ko a.k.a. Foxy Lady... yes, again, you heard me right, Vicky of Foxy Lady (Ch 7) who's the same voice of Minami Harou in Long Vacation (QTV), Gina in Green Rose (Ch 2), Trixie in Only You (Ch 2), Xiao Yuo in Meteor Garden (Ch 2), Rachel in Marrying a Millionare (Ch 2), etc... she's my korean soul sistah so she's a very truly trusted source.

kamsahamnida margo! Ü

~grazhishu~

can I be Ariel Lin?

if there is just one person i would be exchanging places with...
then that would definitely be ARIEL LIN!!! (can i? wink*wink*)

why? not that I like her a lot, I actually don't like her that much...

there is actually just one reason...
just one... ♥Ü♥



ARIEL LIN a.k.a. Lin Yi Chen is one of the most famous taiwanese actresses nowadays. I saw her first in the taiwanese drama It Started With A Kiss (ISWAK) which was based from the Japanese Manga Itazuranakiss. I actually hated her that time because she looked so stupid and so ugly, that was i think in 2006, when ABS CBN adopted and dubbed the series in tagalog.

But infairness, she does act well. I had no choice but to watch ISWAK because i really liked the lead actor (Joe Cheng) though i was really annoyed to see her face. After that, there were several shows aired in other tv networks with her as the main/lead actress. I also saw Vic Zhou's music video featuring her, that was I think, Make A Wish. Then I realized, maybe she really is something else... or should I say she really is SOMEONE FAMOUS in Taiwan.

Years passed and she's just getting more and more popular. I also noticed that in her other other series, she actually looks fine. Then I thought, maybe it was just really for ISWAK that they made her look so silly and ugly. Well that may have also contributed to the huge success of that drama, coz who would have thought that there will be a sequel after that?!? She also had several series with other actors like mike he (love contract) and wu zun (tokyo juliet); and several commercials and endorsements as well.

Just recently, the sequel of ISWAK: They Kiss Again (TKA), began airing in Taiwan, December 16, 2007. I have been dying to see this since March 2007, that was when I heard that they've began filming the sequel. Her appearance on this one really changed a lot. She became pretty unexpectedly, for me. From a silly plain looking girl, she was transformed to a fine pretty young lady. Joe Cheng changed as well, he was more good looking on this one compared to the first season. His hair was shorter and it really looked good on him! So kawai!!! Ü

This series really showed a lot of kissing scenes and other unexpected scenes, I was always blown away. Definitely better than the first season, this one's so hilarious! :P I was so envious that I almost died watching xiang qin (ariel lin) kissing zhi shu (joe cheng). It wasn't just once, twice or thrice... I actually can no longer count using my 2 hands!!! waaaahhhhh! and this is what freaks me out!!! I am so jealous!!!! she has kissed him so many many many times, who knows how many?

...

So do I still need to explain why i'd like to exchange places with her?
OMG, she's really one hell of a lucky girl! I really wish I'd be her.... damn!
