Live from Broadcast City: Uniwide Sales' Battle of the Brains!

***
Q: Where is the Broadcast City located?
A: Capitol Hills, Diliman, Quezon City

I know you know that background music and that familiar voice-over... It's Uniwide Sales' Battle of the Brains.. and now your host, Mr. David Celdran! Too bad the show went off air due to sponsorship issues. Excluding the quiz show on Student Canteen, Battle of the Brains is the only quiz show of its kind. No fuss, like Jeopardy. The LG Quiz show was a far outcry - just fancy, not enough substance.



Yeah, that's me alright with my schoolmates,sisters and David Celdran,the host of the defunt Battle of the Brains, after winning the 2nd weekly eliminations for April 1994 . How come the big networks don't wanna produce game shows like this anymore? For those of you who watched that game show, do you ever recall that huge timer during the bonus round? Hehe. Winning the gameshow was my first paycheck , 1,030 pesos (we got around 4k). I remember buying Sterling Snoopy notebooks (or was it Catleya?), Pilot pens (was never a fan of Tombow,such a cheap imitation) and a fancy pop-up pencil case.

We lost to Bennedictine Abbey in the monthlies, but they totally deserved that since they ended up competing in the Grands. And you thought I was just good with jologs movies and songs!!! :p

Jolina Magdangal: Jologs!

Parang gusto ko yatang bawiin yung previous statement ko na Kuya Germs is the epitome of Pinoy jologs, because if there's an epitome, it would have to be Jolina. Heck, te word "jologs" was born because of her! No, I'm not talking about the Jolina the Kapuso that we see today (yes, I am not a Kapuso though my first two entries in this blog are both Kapuso). I am talking about this Jolina:



Woohoot! That's the Jolina I'm talking about! Talagang we went to the shoot of Kung Ayaw Mo Wag Mo. Sayang kasi I haven't scanned the picture we have naman with Marvin Agustin! I miss that Jolina-crazy highlights - neon yellow and green mix and match days! By the way, that's me to her left, but I'm not the topic of this blog entry, am I? Back to Jolina, don't you love to hate her when she played as Bujoy in 'Labs Kita Okay Ka Lang?':

Bujoy to Ned (Marvin Agustin):"Oh yes kaibigan mo ako. Kaibigan mo lang ako, and that's all I ever was to you Ned. Your best friend...I'm so stupid to make the biggest mistake of falling in love with my best friend!"

That's it for now. More Jolina stuff for you jologs out there in the future! For the meantime, enjoy this AngTV clip! :)

Kuya Germs: A Tribute

Q: What's the title of Kuya Germ's weekly teen drama show aired on Channel 9?
A: Young Love, Sweet Love.

Kuya Germs, this blogsite is for you.

Yes, Pinoys who will say "ewww, that's jologs" are definitely welcome to browse, for I know you got what it takes survive all the ka-cheapan contained herein.

This is Pinoy Jologs in its purest form.

I bet people who know my love affair with anything jologs - Cinema One, PBO, Body Dancer and Rico Mambo, will not be surprised that I chose Kuya Germs to represent this jologs blog. He is the epitome of Pinoy Jologs, and I mean that in a good way!!! Special thanks,too, to Caloy, who discovered my jologs talent. Hehe :) He has put up an IRC Undernet channel - nostalgiamanila and acts as a stage mother for nostalgiamanila.blogspot.com, but his approach is more classy and nostalgic, mine is plain and simple jologs!

I am a self-proclaimed Pinoy pop trivia queen. My sister,Raina, is one,too! Superfren Momel, Juggie, Momon, Rhoda - we are all part of the jologs family. Together we create a world where Maricel Soriano and Tito Vic and Joey are icons. And yes again, there is a difference between classic and jologs trivia - for I'll just turn my back and ignore you if you ask me for Gloria Romero's first movie. Pinoy jologs trivia is more like those teeny-weeny details that we love to hate with anything showbiz. Still don't get what I mean????
