Deal or No Deal?

-
I am loving this new game show brought by ABS-CBN in collaboration with Endemol, the guys that brought us Pinoy Big Brother. Deal or No Deal is crazy!Kapamilya Deal or No Deal is tension-filled game show where a contestant must choose one briefcase from among 26. Each briefcase contains a particular amount, ranging from one peso to two million pesos. It is only when a contestant chooses a briefcase that he/she discovers its value which is flashed on the screen. As the briefcases are opened, a Banker will offer an amount in exchange for the contestant’s briefcase. At this point, the host will ask the contestant, the famous Deal-No Deal question. If the contestant is confident that his/her briefcase has a higher value than the Banker’s offer, he/she can refuse the deal. The host will then continue to open the remaining briefcases until the amount of the contestant’s briefcase is revealed.





Here’s the catch: should the remaining briefcases yield lower values, the contestant has no choice but to accept the Banker’s lower offer. To win, the contestant must choose wisely between a deal and no-deal situation. In a deal situation, the contestant must make sure that his/her briefcase yields a lower amount higher than what the Banker offered. On other hand, in a no-deal situation, the amount of the contestant’s briefcase must be higher than the Banker’s offer.

Every night I couldn't wait to watch this nerve-wrecking game show where you can't help but scream with the studio audience and player once a low-value brief case is opened thereby improving the chances of getting a high-valued briefcase or a high offer from the infamous banker. Kris Aquino, the country's Queen of talk and Queen of Game Shows, plays her role very well. I am enjoying this game and it is raking up high ratings already in its first week here in the Philippines.

I am turning into a fan already and I do hope you watch it too. Deal?

Visita Iglesia: Tracing The Pilgrim's StepsIn Europe Part Two

Town-hopping from one historic place to another in Europe has given me the opportunity to appreciate not only the local colors but at the same time the wonderful architecture of the place, especially its churches and cathedrals. More than just the structural beauty, the story behind every building is equally astounding. 1. Messina, Sicily, Italy - I happened to walk around town all by myself and I found my way to the Doumo of Messina. This historic Cathedral boasts its very tall bell tower which every noon time sounds the alarm with a spectacular show of moving statues adorning the bell tower and the church. Inside the church are huge statues of Christ's apostles. The park right outside the Cathedral is beautiful as well, with locals gathering to talk with friends or find some private moment with a book and a cappuccino in a nearby restaurant. 2. St. Peter's Basilica - I found myself truly blessed when I had the opportunity to visit Rome and stand at St. Peter'...

When Dining Inside A Museum: Romulo Cafe

Last night, the Zuellig Family Foundation held its annual Christmas Party at the Romulo Cafe in Makati. It was my first time to step inside Romulo Cafe but it was not as intimidating as some high class restos are. It is definitely a highly recommended place to dine or hang out with family and friends, whether you are talking about the most trivial things in life or closing a business deal. Romulo Cafe is named after the famous Filipino diplomat, Carlos P. Romulo. History class would teach us that Romulo was the first President of the United Nations General Assembly. It is owned by the granddaughter of the diplomat and the idea was not only to share good food but also good lessons in history. Upon entering the restaurant, one would not miss the many framed pictures highlighting the many moments in the life of Carlos Romulo. The second floor appears to be almost like a museum. The maze like pattern of the wall paper creates a contemporary atmosphere but the comfortable sofas and pil...

The Weekend in Tallinn

I have just come back from Helsinki where we spent 2 days for the practical part of our Global health course. I am now blogging from Tampere, tired and with a sore back. During the weekend, we have been carrying our backpacks and running around Tallinn, the beautiful capital of Estonia. It was my second European country to visit and I loved the place. It was beautiful and the old medieval buildings almost brought me to another dimension. For one, the trip going to Tallinn from Helsinki was already exciting. It was my first boat ride across the Baltic Sea, aboard Viking Express. The ship was huge and inside the ship was a grocery, dozens of food shops and bars, a dance floor, even a couple of playrooms for the kids. It was almost surreal. When we docked at Tallinn, it was a long walk to our Hotel where we immediately left our bags and headed outside to the Old Town where a lot of tourists were also finding their way in the labyrinthine cobblestone streets of the historic city. Of course...
