push the button

i never thought i would ever find myself watching those silly koreanovelas every filipino has gone gaga over. i never considered myself as part of that demograph who indulge their primetime watching with those foreign shows.

to tell you honestly, i did, at least, once in my life tried. remember the show Lovers In Paris? who wouldn't. i was able to catch glimpses of a couple of episodes as i did my regular tv surfing. soon i just found myself locked on the tube watching it every (damn) single night. but then it was senior year and i got burdened with loads of school work, eventually luring me away from my guilty pleasure.

since then i was never again given even the smallest chance to watch a koreanovela. then came college. of course, during this period in a person's life, where he swims in a sea of different faces, he wouldn't know the people he'd get to hang with. funny thing, i happened to have made friends with a self-confessed koreanovela addict.(Diana Marie Tiu Centeno). thanks a lot! it was through her that i was once again re-introduced to this sensational world. i'm finally back in the game!

Kim Sam Soon airs on GMA, every weeknights at 10:30 pm. for about a month now this has been the focus of my daily primetime viewing. it has been a while that i was stuck with my regular tv shows that has eventually made me yawn and turn off the television. this sudden hook on this tv program has added variety and color to my once boring staring game.

koreanovelas were not my thing then, but i have gone to the next stage of penetrating through the wall that has kept me on the other side. for a second i have made it through, and it's a heck of an experience. now i belong. before i switch off the tube out of dispair, but now with the anticipation of new koreanovelas that continue to invade the screen i should hold back a little and push that damn button.
