People have asked for my drama recommendations. My recommendation however is to follow a writer and see his/her development over time. That’s what I did. I binge-watched not the actors but the screenwriters because I wanted to understand their vision of the world, their moral philosophy, and their creative process. Here’s a “starter pack.” I’ll […]
Happy Birthday, Bitches!
Thank you all for accompanying me on this journey to drama appreciation. I thought I was going to do this solo. You made bitchin’ over drama so fun and easy. Our cake for this year! Here’s to another year to celebrate, whine, moan, kvetch, analyze and over-analyze, shred, deconstruct, roast, toast, praise, savor, and reminisce […]
Bitch Talk: On “Password-Protected” Posts
Please don’t worry if I start using the “password protection” more often on the blog. 1. If I put “Work in Progress” on the title of the post, it means just that: it’s an incomplete article. I’m still finishing it up. It could be that: I’m missing screenshots; I haven’t proofread the paragraph I dictated on […]
Merry Christmas, Peaches!!
Merry Christmas, y’all!!

Let the drama stay in Netflix, not in our homes. Peaches… I already said my confession yesterday so I’ve to […]

Bitch Talk: Asking for a Friend…
Often, when somebody says that she’s “asking for a friend,” she’s embarrassed or afraid to pose you the question directly so she pretends to be asking on behalf of a fictional friend. So I’m asking for a friend here… Can you recommend a good Filipino romcom film and/or a good Bollywood romcom film that’s currently […]

I heard there was a disturbance in the Force over at Soompi: a mass exodus of moderators and administrators. Fill me in, please. Nrllee? 🙂 Seriously. I hope my old friends are fine. And wherever they are, I support them and their new ventures — as long as they’re not doing anything illegal, criminal, and […]
Cuties: Heck no, Netflix!
And this is why I’m an Asian-wannabe, and watch kdramas, doramas, and Cdramas, instead of Hollywood-produced and Hollywood-approved shows. Who the heck at Netflix headquarters gave this project the green-light? . From Hollywood Reporter: Eleven-year-old Amy lives with her mom, Mariam, and younger brother, awaiting her father to rejoin the family from Senegal. Amy is […]
You Are My Glory: Starring Yang Yang and ….??
