a few of my thoughts….

The word Asianovela comes from the words “Asia” or “Asian” and “Novela” from the word “Telenovela”. This term refers to Asian-produced telenovelas.

Asianovelas have been always top-rating in the Philippine television. Filipinos adore watching “small-eyed” actors and actresses on TV. Have you ever stopped for awhile and wondered why such TV shows always ’click’ in the Philippines?

I’ve read an article on a daily newspaper in Iloilo about it and I kinda agree with it. Most of our teleserye and soap operas are heavy on drama and have almost the same plot. So when the Asianovelas invaded the country with its comedic-flavor and very handsome and pretty stars, the Filipinos automatically loved them. Some even requested for replays for the Asian series, concerts and visits of the stars of their favorite Asianovelas. Filipinos even follow their hairstyles, the way they dress and their favorite expressions like “Aja!”.

So to cut it short, Filipinos love entertainment. They need and want something that would make them laugh and end up smiling at the end of the day. Incidentally, these asianovelas provided them that kind of entertainment and so they eventually loved and adored them. And that includes me.

Here are some of the asianovelas I was fond of:

I know some of you might be thinking that this kind of post is already late but an asianovela I’m watching is about to end this week and I realized that I haven’t made any posts about such topic, so here it is. Anyway, I know there are fanatics too out there so which of these shows made your heart go wild?

Got nothing to post yet but this day is a special day for 3 of my friends from different walks of life. So let me take this opportunity to greet them a Happy Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to MYRA, ALLEN, and VIVIEN!
