Well, what can I say? I grew up idolizing Thalia. I was in grade school when Marimar, Thalia’s telenovela, took Manila by storm, as it started the Thalia craze, that aired more of her telenovelas such as Maria Mercedes and Maria la del Barrio which I also watched every episode of. I even recollected memories of news segments about mothers naming their children Marimar, or Thalia.

Now, GMA is doing a remake of the hit series Marimar, starring Marianne Rivera. To be honest, I’ve never, ever watched GMA teleseries, nor considered switching to the channel since I am a solid Kapamilya, and personally prefer teleseries that are from ABS-CBN. I don’t know, maybe GMA’s style just never appealed to me. But the revival of Marimar further piqued my curiosity, as I promised to watch it.

As I watched the first episode yesterday, I was really impressed. I really look forward, and am highly anticipating for Marianne Rivera to go onscreen. I find her gorgeous, and Dingdong Dantes looked sizzling in this telenovela. ( and I never thought of him that way, really. I prefer Jake Cuenca! Hahaha! ) . Hopefully, I see good acting ! All I can say is that, this is one reason for me to watch GMA, only for an hour a day *wink*
