 RASTRO CONNECTIONS

These past few days, hindi masyadong nagparamdam ng malakas na connection ang RaStro. Pareho kasi silang busy ngayon. Halos 7 days a week ang kanilang trabaho.

Pagkagaling sa siyam na araw na bakasyon ni Rhian sa Japan, trabaho agad ang hinarap nito. Na-extend kasi ang TOTGA at kailangan nilang maghabol para maka catch-up sa dalawang linggong scenes (A standard soap should run with 65 episodes only but TOTGA will be on its 88th episode on May 18, the last day of its airing). Bukod pa rito ay mayroon din siyang taping para sa Tastebuddies.

At kasabay ng full-packed schedule ni Rhian, busy rin si Glaiza. Kailangan naman nitong tapusin ang mga scenes ng Contessa na para rin sa dalawang linggo. Nakatakda kasi itong magbakasyon ng siyam na araw rin sa Australia. Noon pa kasing taong 2017 ang plano niyang pagbabakasyon kasama ang kanyang kaibigang si Rich Asuncion at ang childhood friend na naninirahan sa Australia.

For me it was good. Ang pagiging busy nila ay nangangahulugan lang na patuloy pa rin natin silang makikita sa small screen. We still have G in the afternoon prime from Monday to Saturday. We still have R in the primetime from Monday to Friday, and Taste Buddies on Saturday.

Kung totoo mang may relasyon ang dalawang ito, baka wala na silang panahon na magkita sa ngayon, lol! Sabi nga ni Rhian sa IG stories niya, "I live in the car". Alternately, during their rest days, they are out of the country. So, papaano na ang usaping puso ng RaStro? Well, it seems na hindi naman sila nagmamadali. Kaya hindi rin tayo dapat magmadali.

Pero kahit wala man tayong obvious connection na nakita sa kanila nitong nakaraang week,, may isang tila anghel ang nagpadala ng mensahe para kahit papaano ay magkaroon ng connection ang RaStro. Ano ba ito?

We know that the prime actresses of GMA have each of a title. Si Marian Rivera ang tinatawag na Primetime Queen. Si Jennylyn Mercado naman ay tinatawag na Ultimate Star and recently, tinawag nila si Rhian Ramos na The Fascinating Actress. Hmmm... may naalala ako rito. Ano ba ang synonym ng fascinating? Hindi ba alluring?

Teka? Sino ba ang may title na alluring? Isa lang naman ang naaalala ko. Ang tawag sa kanya ay The Alluring Rock Diva. Sino pa nga ba ito kundi ang nag-iisang Glaiza de Castro! Hindi siguro napansin ng GMA ito. Otherwise baka palitan nila ang title ni Rhian, haha!

Ayun! Kahit sa title, connected pa rin sila :-)... Ang tadhana nga naman!

TRMD IN TAIWAN

Two weeks ago, may nakita tayong link ng interview ng RaStro tungkol sa TRMD.

Let me just give you a summary of what these RaSto interviews are all about.

Lalata.com is the first LGBTQ site in Asia which is based in Taiwan. Bagong site pa lang ito kaya nga konti pa lang ang mga articles na mababasa rito.

Recently, they released 3 articles about TRMD. The first one was about the introduction of TRMD series to their community. It was released on April 19. The article was also about the Chinese/Filipino culture and how it is different from the western culture.

The second article was about the online interview with Rhian. And it was released on April 23. The most memorable part of TRMD for her was that in a cafe when, unexpectedly, nakikipaghiwalay formally sa kanya si Althea. Sabi niya, it was naturally flowing and effortless for them. And when asked who will she chose between her soulmate and her family, Rhian said that nowadays, her priority is her family because they had been with her through all the battles she'd gone through in her life...
