Pinay My Girl vs. Korean My Girl

June 30th, 2008

Kim Chiu as Jasmine is a real cutie in Pinay version of My Girl but I wonder why she is so much thinner today. She already looks so skinny, all bones and shoulder… but anywei, still so pretty. Julian is ok except for his eyes, I just think its a bit weird. Can’t he open it a bit wider? While if you would ask me to choose between Nina and Enchong, I am sorry but don’t you think they need more acting workshops? :-)

While Regine Angeles, the Be Bench Female winner is improving in her acting . I just love that girl. She is really beautiful and talented. She gets prettier everyday. But I like it the most if she is doing kikay and comedy stints, just like in Palos.

Nicole, Robi and Josef of PBB in My Girl

June 30th, 2008

Ogie Diaz confirmed the inclusion of Nicole Usiuseng, Robi Domingo and Josef Elizalde in the Pinay remake of My Girl.

The three are also a product of Pinoy Big Brother Teen Edition just like Kim Chiu and Gerald Anderson.

It is known that Nicole and Josef both shared a special friendship inside the house thus producing a fan base in favor of Josef-Nicole tandem or the YONICS, while other fans are pro Robi and Nicole love team or the ROBICOLE.

I wonder what would be the sub-plot for this new twist in the story of My Girl. The sub-plot is not in the original story of the Korean My Girl.

Bank of England cut the base rate

June 16th, 2008

With the Monetary Policy Committee meeting due to take place this week a number of economists have given their views on whether the base rate is likely to fall again or whether it is likely to remain static. A recent poll carried out by Reuters showed that the vast majority of economists were expecting the base rate to stay on hold, with only five out of sixty five economists that were polled predicting that the base rate could fall again this month.

After the April MPC meeting the Bank of England cut the base rate by 0.25%, taking it from 5.25% to 5%. However, most economists think that it is unlikely that the base rate will fall two months in a row given the rising concerns over inflation levels, which the central bank also has to consider when looking at loan interest rates. Most now think that the next base rate cut will be in June.

Alan Clarke, an economist at BNP Paribas, said: “We believe June is a much better bet for the timing of the next interest rate cut. A move in June would maintain the recent pace of one cut every two months. It would also allow the accumulation of more concrete evidence that the economic data are deteriorating.” However, one member of the MPC has said that if rates are not cut aggressively the country could go into recession and house prices could fall by a third.

Other economists predicted that interest rates would fall more steadily, unlike the situation in the United States, where they have been cut seven times since September. One economist said: “We think that after a pause this week the Monetary Policy Committee will cut interest rates again in June and eventually all the way to 3.5 percent.”

The Pinay My Girl was a Pinoy adaptation of the original Korean show which was also aired in ABS-CBN.

The Pinay version will have Kim Chiu in the lead role as Jasmine and Gerald Anderson as Julian. Also in the cast are Enchong Dee (brother of Ejay Dee), Alex Gonzaga (sister of Toni Gonzaga), Regine Angeles (Be Bench Winner), Niña Jose (Ex-PBB Teen Housemate 1st Edition), and David Chua. With the participation of Ronaldo Valdez, Lito Pimentel and Bing Loyzaga.

Kim Chiu even had to learn how to speak Mandarin under the guidance of his language coach.

Some scenes were modified to make it more Pinoy just like the change of location from orange to mango plantation. But most of the scene were shot in Tagaytay, Batangas and Marikina.

Tira! Tira!

Have you already watched the My Girl pinay version in ABS-CBN? Well, finally I was given the opportunity to watch it last night. It is good that some changes are done to make it more Pinoy , and I actually enjoyed watching the show.

But I think, Kim and Gerald would be more entertaining if they won’t over-do copying the style and facial expression as well as some body language of the original Korean cast. And for one, Kim is a natural bubbly-girl.

And also a thumbs-up for Nina Jose, only for getting-rid of that child-like gibbering voice she used to have before.

All in all, at least Kim and Gerald is proving to be worthy of all the adorations they are getting from their fans.

“My Girl” the Pinay version had its first telecast last May 26, PBB Teen Edition Big Winner Kim Chiu plays the role of Jasmine, ABS-CBN’s first drama franchise to be aired before Betty La Fea where Bea Alonzo was chosen to be the lead star.

Now Kim Chui plays the Pinay my Girl with Gerald Anderson!
