Wazzup Pilipinas !

Do'nt you just love tele-serye (television drama series)? Does it really reflect our everyday lives? Can we Filipinos really see ourselves in it? Can many Filipinos relate to the stories, the drama, and the love stories?

My wife adores tele-seryes eventhough the rest of us find them "baduy". Especially the Be Careful with my heart which is like "The Kind and I" story but done in a Philippine family setting. 

Be Careful With My Heart is a Philippine daytime TV drama which started airing on ABS-CBN last July 9, 2012. It is the show early in the morning that can be seen before the noontime show Showtime. It is top-billed by Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap.

"It tells about the story of a simple province girl Maya Dela Rosa (Jodi Sta. Maria) who tries her luck to the big city to pursue her dream of becoming a flight attendant. With this dream, she would not allow anyone to stop her in reaching it for this is her only way to help her family.
