truTV - NOT REALITY - ACTUALITY

Reality TV began to gain steam a few years ago and now you can find a host of reality TV shows all across the cable dial. Some of these shows are good and some are just plain junk. But there is one channel on our cable dial in particular that I love to watch and that is truTV. I love their slogan, "It's not reality, it's actuality!" This is quite true when you check out their lineup of programming. You will find shows such as Speeders, World's Wildest Vacations, The Smoking Gun Presents..., Black Gold, Forensic Files and many more. They are action packed shows that ALWAYS illicit a response. Sometimes a good response and sometimes a not so good response.

My husband and I love to watch horror movies together. We are always yelling at the TV telling the idiot victims what they should have done to stay alive! truTV has twice that effect!! Just check out the above truTV video and watch for yourself! That has to be everyone's fear when they attempt to bungee jump - that the bungee cord will snap and they will free-fall to the ground. I CRINGED when I watched it!

I think the shows that give us the biggest response are The Smoking Gun Presents......because it captures some rather strange individuals doing rather stupid things....all on camera! We have a blast watching it! And then there is World's Wildest Vacations - we are always either laughing and "ooooo'ing" because of the things that happen on people's vacations. I would encourage you to check out truTV and give it a try if you haven't already. You are sure to have a good laugh and possibly even a good stomach ache after watching a host of different shows showing people at their "finest"!! Just be sure to exercise caution - you are bound to have a tremendous response!!

NEED A GOOD LAUGH?

It's Friday again and time to unwind and relax from the hard week. Nothing better than a good laugh to relieve the stress - hope you enjoy! Happy blogging and have a great weekend!!

MULTIPLE REMOTES NO MORE!!

In our home we have three remotes - one for the TV, one for the DVD player and one for the cable box. What's more confusing is when our son gets a hold of one of them and manages to mess up everything and then we have to get all three remotes to figure out what is wrong. Time consuming, confusing and frustrating!

That's why Yamaha invented the neoHD remote. One remote with control over EVERYTHING! Now you can control a TV, a cable box, a Blu-ray player and a game system using the neoHD remote control. The Yamaha neoHD is the invention everyone has been waiting for.

The above are just some of the remotes in our home - it perfectly demonstrates the confusion - too many remotes and having to remember too many different keys to different gadgets. Now, your "electronic" life has been made easier with the Yamaha neoHD remote. And right now, when you click over to their website, you will read more about their Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes . I encourage you to enter for your own chance to win in one of two ways:

OUR PRECIOUS DANIEL

Here are a few recent pics of our precious son. Daniel has grown more and more and is nearing that all important 36 inch height - he is on track to be 6 feet before 7th grade....just like his Daddy. He already loves to play basketball and is taking an interest in watching golf with his Daddy...."hit the ball," he says.

The calm before the storm...........

The storm............here is he experiencing the joys of chocolate ice cream!!

Experiencing the joys of oreos!!!

Excuse me Mommy, I can feed myself!!

Daniel seems to grasp more and more the concept of his baby brother. He kisses my tummy and says, "Baby" all the time. It will be fun to watch him be a big brother and we know he and his little brother will be the best of friends....and sometimes the worst of enemies? We love our boys!!

TV AT IT'S BEST!

Reality TV began to gain steam a few years ago and now you can find a host of reality TV shows all across the cable dial. Some of these shows are good and some are just plain junk.

My husband and I love to watch horror movies together. We are always yelling at the TV telling the idiot victims what they should have done to stay alive! truTV is much the same - it's called the truTV effect. Just check out the above truTV video and watch for yourself! I think the shows that give us the biggest response are The Smoking Gun Presents......because it captures some rather strange individuals doing rather stupid things....all on camera! We have a blast watching it! And then there is World's Wildest Vacations - we are always either laughing and "ooooo'ing" because of the things that happen on people's vacations.

ANOTHER PRESIDENT AQUINO??

"Clamor for Senator Benigno “Noynoy" Aquino III to run for President in next year’s elections grew louder on Thursday with the launching of the Senator Benigno Aquino III for President Movement." - GMANews.TV 08/14/2009.

Let the fun begin! It will be interesting to watch who enters the Presidential race in 2010. With the death of Ate Cory, now is definitely the time for her son to run for President. The hearts of the Filipino people are with the Aquino family right now and he would have tremendous momentum entering the race and probably win. HOWEVER....are his motives pure in running now, if he chooses? He recently said he wasn't seeking a higher position than what he currently held. Will his mind be changed if he gets a glimpse of the highest office in the land? It will be fun to watch. By the way, by virture of his family name and reputation, I am inclined to vote for him! But if he orders just one $20,000 dinner with his friends, I will call for his head!! lol.............

GLORIA MADE PAGE 6

The economic downturn hasn't persuaded everyone to pinch pennies. Philippines President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo was at Le Cirque the other night with a large entourage enjoying the good life, even though the former comptroller of her country's armed services, Carlos Garcia, was found guilty earlier this year of perjury and two of his sons were arrested in the US on bulk cash-smuggling charges. Macapagal-Arroyo ordered several bottles of very expensive wine, pushing the dinner tab up to $20,000. - New York Post, Page 6, August 7, 2009.

The above was recently printed on the infamous page 6 of the New York Post - Gloria treated her entourage to a P1,000,000 dinner and considering the number of people in her party, that comes out to around $1000 per person (dollars not pesos). Will anyone from the Philippines dare push into the light this pompous act of greed? While in New York.............right? Did you know Gloria put out the call for her people to fast so they all would know what it's like to be hungry? How does she sleep at night? God send us the next Cory....please!

WOWO-WOE??

Controversial noontime TV show host Willie Revillame found himself in the hot seat again on Monday, beset by furious comments from bloggers and social networking websites. The reason: He objected, on air, to the insertion of a video of former President Corazon Aquino’s cortege on his show, “Wowowee.” - Inquirer.Net

Two things come to mind:

1. He was right.
2. He should have waited to say something during a commercial break.

His point was that the show has a joyous and funny atmosphere and the insert of the funeral procession was not conducive to the show. He does have a big mouth and is very out spoken and sometimes controversial - but in this case I believe he is right. The only problem was he said it over live TV. He gave the impression that his show had precedence over the funeral. Save it for the commercial break or save it for water cooler chat - just don't insult the good people of the Philippines who were trying to honor and show respect for the best President the nation has ever seen. Maybe they should have just cancelled the show for the day........

REST IN PEACE

Probably one of the greatest Presidents the Philippines has ever known was laid to rest today. Everyone reading this knows Corazon Aquino and from what I know, she was one of the most humble and honest Presidents the Philippines has ever had. She had a position of power to annihilate the enemies who killed her husband, but she didn't. She held the "keys to the kingdom" that most Filipino Presidents use to fill up Swiss bank accounts but she used them to promote democracy. She instituted a constitution that set term limits for Presidents (it's currently 6 years but should only be 4). She did many more great things that put the Philippines back in order away from the awful communist and dictatorial reign of "you know who". May she rest in peace.
