This goes out to all my "homegrown" pinoy friends:
Do you remember watching Magmaman and Ultraman in the afternoon (or was it weekends?) on TV during your childhood?
Do you remember the X-Men and Ewoks cartoon shows on Fridays in the early to mid '90s?
Do you remember Marimar and Maria Mercedes (and the subsequent spawn of telenovelas) in the mid '90s?
Do you remember those dubbed anime shows in the late '90s? Do you remember T.G.I.F. and Gimik?
Do you remember FREAKING F4 and Meteor Garden in the early '00s? Do you remember F4 songs virtually taking all the top spots in the MYX daily countdown? Oh, and that hairstyle craze that they spawned in straight (and not-so-straight) men???
I remember thinking I was too "cool" for these trends back then. As "pop" as I am, I never really got into telenovelas, anime shows and F4/J-Pop/K-Pop.
I also remember feeling a little embarrassed for secretly feeling "kilig" when watching the loveteam movies of yore. Nowadays, that's all I rent whenever I get a chance to go back to the Philippines.
My OPM knowledge is now extremely lacking as well. The last popular OPM act I was keenly aware of was still Kitchie Nadal and MYMP.
Are there still Kapuso vs. Kapamilya network wars?
Ano na ba ang uso sa 'pinas nowadays? Ano na ang jologs?
Do people still use the word jologs? I MISS PINOY POP CULTURE!!!

Hello Justine, Paolo here. Ngayon ko lang nakita ito e.
F4 opened the gates for a lot of Taiwanese, Japanese, and Korean dramas and the like here. Koreans ang marami rito ngayon, maraming exchange students and the like na nag-aaral ng (mostly) English. Mas mura raw ang education dito e + magaling daw tayo sa English.
Yung F4 long-hair look nandoon pa rin. Ang emo medyo uso na rin.
Yeah chan 2 and chan 7 are still going at it. "Jologs", I think, is a timeless word as well. :)
Hey Justine! My other Pinoy friend Nicky told me you guys copied famous Mexican soaps but with Filipino actors. That must be hilarious! Hahahah... (Nicky also gave a comment on my latest blog entry :D)
