One of the foreign shows that I want to watch is True Blood. I haven’t watched a single episode of this show because I use to have work. Now that I am staying at home already I can watch it anytime but I want to watch it from episode one. That’s why, my husband and I were looking for a cd with the compilation of episodes but unfortunately we didn’t find one. Now, watching it online for free would be a better choice. I can just watch True Blood while doing some of my online stuffs.

When you look at your options for cable or satellite TV, be sure to consider DIRECTV, one of the leading digital satellite TV providers in the U.S. DIRECTV offers both residential and commercial service. To receive the digital signal, you need to mount a small satellite dish somewhere on your building. The satellite sends a signal to the digital receivers connected to your TVs. While some individuals shy away from satellite TV based on concerns over disrupted signals due to weather, DIRECTV reports its service operates at full capacity over 95% of the time.

In order to offer the best entertainment options, DIRECTV has set packages, or you can create a custom package to better fit your personal style. Family packages often include popular channels like Disney and Nickelodeon. For sports fans, DIRECTV has unmatched HD options and special programs designed to help you get more sports coverage. With NFL Sunday Ticket, you get all 14 games every Sunday. Regular packages often include CNN and ESPN. With Pay Per View, you can select from an additional 55 channels, offering major Hollywood films and sporting events. In addition, DIRECTV has adult channels.

DIRECTV is a leader in high-definition television (HDTV), which is a system using higher broadcasting speeds and resolution to deliver picture quality up to 10 times better than regular TV. The satellite TV provider boasts more HD channels than other companies, and you can access HD quality through an HDTV-ready TV with a DIRECTV HD receiver. Some DIRECTV packages include a free HD receiver, but keep in mind you’ll need to pay a monthly service fee to get the channels in HD. If you have a home theater system or surround sound, most HD channels offer improved audio, having 5.1-channel Dolby Digital sound instead of 4-channel.

Jimson Ortega, the Houseband from Spain, was born and bred in the Philippines, and was fortunate to live a life of comfort.  Kat, his wife, is from Spain, so he decided to move there as well. His wife, Kat is also one of the housemates wherein they fail their first weekly task.
He got 10% of the vote for this week, lowest among the four nominees. Sorry for Jim’s fans.
This will be the test for the couple, Jim and Kath, how will they cope up now that they live in separate house and can’t even see each other.

on the lighter side, I missed watching the naked dance of House B because we were just on our way to our home the time PBB is airing. I hope I can find videos of it on the net.

Saturday Night was the First Nomination night. It is the first time that the housemates would nominate who they want to nominate their fellow housemate.

From House A, Princess and Jason got the highest vote, while at House B, Carol and Jimson got the highest points thus, they are the first set of nominees.

As for me, I want Jimson out of the house, simply because, he can’t even perform well their first tasks. It seems that he is just focused on his wife and not about the whole house and the housemates. Anyway, their fate is for those who will vote through text and online voting. Good luck.

As I mentioned in my previous post. Kath, Jimson and Patrick was not succesful in completing their weekly task. Resulting in loosing their weekly budget for the whole week. Patrick couldn’t help but feel extremely disappointed, not only to himself, but also for the couple. but Patrick is more than willing to help the housemates talked to Big Brother. He is willing to do anything just to redeem the weekly budget. “Kuya” gave him the new task. He needs to stand up straight for 12 hours. He can not move his hands but the housemates can help him drink or eat. The housemates at first didn’t know why he is doing that. But after successfully finishing the task big brother revealed that the sacrifice was done to redeem the weekly budget. Since Pat did great, 50% of the budget was redeemed. Great Work Pat!

Later tonight, will be the First Nomination night  Who will be the first set of nominees ?

Oh yes! There’s a hidden Pinoy Big Brother Fan inside me. Though I wasn’t so fond of the second season didn’t like the set of housemates. But this season, Pinoy Big Brother Double Up made me curious again. I was able to watch the pilot episode and the episode last Saturday, wherein the second set of housemates entered the house.

Why double up? It’s because Big Brother have two houses now, wherein there is two different set of housemates. and only a few housemates know that there are two houses.

On the second week, A real life husband and wife entered the house. Jimson and Kathleen together with Patrick, The Charming Banker of Baguio have a weekly task. Kathleen and Patrick should pretend to me married.The past few days had been emotionally tough to manage for real couple, especially when Big Brother had the fake couple celebrate their “anniversary” with Jimson as their waiter.  Their housemates, clueless of the task, meanwhile, adored the “romance” between the fake couple. Finally, I watched the other night that Jimson already admitted that they are the real couple, thus they lose the weekly task and there will be no weekly budget for them.
