notice the new trend in pinoy primetime tv: resurrecting of our all time favorite tv series and flicks like lupin, marimar and may minamahal to name a few. i for one am delightedwhen they remaked may minamaha, because before i even develop this distinct taste for movies i am already considering this flick as one of my all time favorites. i, as a matter offact, have seen this movie for nth times. ahihi!! moving on....
in any case it seems that the entire country have been once more getting hooked to thisadaptations so i figured why not make a pinoy version of the very first and well-loved instiknobela (credits to nea for the term) that hit the country by storm. do i still have toelaborate? everybody, hail to F4!!! i was just in my first year in UP then and i remembered rushing to go back to my boarding house before the clock stikes 430 and have early dinnerwith anne and janine so that we could watch the meteor garden in our landlady's carinderia.talk about being low life.
out of boredom perhaps, i started "casting" for the pinoy version of meteor garden with the help of nea. we had this SMS conference that lasted for almost 2 hours i think. come on, the story is already there, the characters are already established. we only need the local casts.so abs and gma or whoever your representatives are, read this. i am dead serious about it people.try to consider.

there, my own localized meteor garden cast. yes it must be rather awkward for the taste of the entertainment capitalists but i don't freakin care. about juniper and mikee, i am planning to send them in a bootcamp sort of acting workshop to prepare them for this big project.no shaina and rayver please. no freakin way.any objections, talk to the casting director.*wink*
