I Am Tiramisu

Have you seen?

First time I got a glimpse of their tv poster and teaser red lights switched on automatically.

Oh really. They're into that subject now. Pretty daring.

With all what the modern world has come to realize as to what's right and wrong...

A network brings us this.

It's been some flak even before it's February 14 premiere.

But hey I'm no meanie to cast my disapproving wand even before I have double checked something out.

First look. A black girl with a sad innocent face. Nothing more has been said. Yet, a whole lot has been speculated. A story of a black girl with a sad innocent face could go anywhere. Now now, settle down.

As if being a mother of 2 young girls forever surrounded and plagued whitening lotions, soaps, such and shampoos to make your curly hair straight is not hard enough in this day and age.

So I decided to watch the tv series. From it's pilot episode to the present.

Oh, Zoren Legaspi, why do you have to be so handsome and manly. And cool. And obviously improved on your acting? hehehe

Ehem...back to the topic.

Through episode 1 till epi 4, I have actually forgotten all about what the fuzz was all about. I had been having a sweet great time watching Zoren fight for Lotlot de Leon. Giving his evil sister and mother some verbal whacking. And his ever there ex-girlfriend. Suddenly it felt matured and well written. Even up to the topic of adoption. Everyone's reaction is just as valid and true. You have to face it, it's not an easy subject to take.

Trouble begins on episode 5. Parents, put it on the 4.29 mark. On the previous episode, the orphanage's kuya Kiko has been reunited with his mother, thus leaving the other kids in the hands of kid villain, Misty. Who, as we would have guessed the minute she appeared will be Nita's head and heartache.

Tsk tsk. Kids of all ages will be watching this. It has afterall been getting good ratings since its premiere. It shows how young minds can easily be swayed into doing hurtful things in the name of peer pressure and acceptance.

This is the part I had been afraid of.

I believe I dont have to watch any further. Clearly this will be the storyline for the rest of it. The axe has been thrown down. Unless they do some serious re-writting of the script. How? I really wouldn't know.

Have we not learned anything?

Plastering this unfortunate type of discrimination for all to see. For all the young unguided minds to see...

If this was in America, this wouldn't have gotten on air on the first place. Wait, nobody would have dared to write something like this for tv.

Unfortunate.

Someone should stop this.
