In my previous entry, I rambled on and on about the Love of Siam that I deviated from the purpose of that entry- what constitutes a cinematic experience?

I can't get enough of ABS-CBN's new soap Iisa Pa Lamang. Never mind the old plot and some bad acting (though a lot of the stars are good). What I really love about it is the dialogue. It is time camp made its way back to primetime since Impostora!
