Nothing Much....

Nothing much happened today.... as in boring! Anyway, it can't be helped. None of our daily filipino teleseryes were shown today due to the extensive news coverage of the 2010 automated Presidential elections, so all of the dramas today from TFC and GMA Pinoy TV were either pre-empted or replays of last Friday's episodes. Hopefully, our daily drama routine would be back tomorrow. I miss Tanging Yaman already.

But I did have the chance to fully enjoy reading an installment of the Kristine Series though. (Tagalog pocketbook series by Martha Cecilia) I can't wait for the TV Drama series based on the books! I hope and pray that I won't get disappointed because I love the book version! Well, I have to admit that anything I've read converted to either a movie or a TV Series doesn't almost always live up to what's written in the book, much like Stephanie Meyer's Twilight and New Moon, I loved the first 2 volumes of the series (I read each 3 times I think) and when the movie versions came out, I was like "where's the other stuff I'd been expecting huh?"

Well. it is understandable that any title made into a movie or a series will have to undergo certain edits and changes and it is seldom that it completely goes by the book. But can't a reader expect nothing less than what was already written? What's in the book is fine as it is... that's why most of the material made into movies and such are certified bestsellers. That's why sometimes if a certain title is made into a movie, I'd rather see the movie first then read the book and not the other way around, it would be less disappointing that way.
