Synopsis

100 Days to Heaven tells a story of Anna, a strict boss of The Toy Company (portrayed by Coney Reyes). Due to her bad past, she became a cold and unkind person. Employees of the company are afraid of her because of her strict and bossy attitude towards them and others. One evening, she was killed in a car accident and her soul went into a place in which there was nothing but white mist (it is unknown if she was in Heaven). She only heard the voice of God and the truth that she was dead. There, God gave her a chance to live her life again in 100 days in a form of a child (portrayed by Xyriel Manabat), found by Sophia (portrayed by Jodi Sta. Maria) and she later befriends Kevin (Louise Abuel). Her mission is to find the people that she had hurt and correct her wrong doings.  If her mission is successful, she'll go to heaven.

MY Review:

AS usual after May Bukas Pa, ABS-CBN have a Good show that is worth to watch by the whole family. The show may be a fantasy BUT it may happen for all we know, Divine miracle are bound to happen that we may not be aware of.

I like the show because you can really feel the characters plight and it seems real to me. Each episode shown would have a moral story to tell and I think the children would learn something from the show: forgiveness, be helpful to your neighbors, be kind and most of all the golden rule: One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself.

Xyriel Manabat is really good! Her debut on Agua Bendita did really made her a star (which we all forgot that it should be starred by Andi Eigenmann :) she was SO GOOD in portraying her roles that her appearance was extended! and then she had MOmay and then this show! More power to you Xyriel! But always be humble! If a Fan would ogled at you in the mall just smile (don't be like those star/s that are just starting to get known in the biz but when you bump into them in the mall and you ogled at them for awhile you would get a hard stare from HER. She's really a bendita on that glance. I am not the usual type that would get an autograph from a star or took a pic of them or with them BUT I am just human and I would like to take a GOOD look when I saw a personality/actor and would stop on my track and stare to: 1. if she/he really look like that as shown in the TV 2. Is she/he nice and would smile . It would be really a treat for us a lowly private citizen and bump into a down to earth actor ( and not be a bitch!)

Sorry guys, until now I really really hate that girl. She's really not a nice gal as what I heard about her. She really is bendita as in super duper agh

So, Xyriel, Hija wag kang tutulad sa ibang mga artista na akala mo mabait pero sa personal hindi maganda ang ugali. Maging mabait sa kapwa tao mo. I like you, so I hope that when I accidentally meet you on the road, I hope you'll be a nice young lady :) You are one of the reasons why I am watching the show. You are a child wonder! :)

IMORTAL FINALE

Waaaahhhhhh! One more night to go and we'll bid goodbye to our fave fantaserye Imortal :(

I hope the ending will be good tonight!

4/28/2011

Magnus and Imelda was seen crying besides Sam's cremated body and Lydia angrily told Magnus the one who killed Sam. He was the one to be blamed for her death, he bit Lucas, thus turning the latter into a monster. Magnus strangled Lydia. Imelda called called out his name and he let go of Lydia and he ran away.

Marcus went to Mateo (mateo's still trapped inside the coffin)and told him that Sam was killed and the one to be blamed is Mateo. It's all Mateo's fault. He, Marcus will kill the most precious person that Mateo hold dear in his life. He will kill Lia!

Mateo was still trapped inside the coffin and was still trying to get out of it.

Lia was talking with someone at the phone (Vergara I think) and noticed that the door was ajar. She told the person on the phone that someone might be inside the house. She went in, put the phone down the table. Lucas was there inside the house in his monster form.

Lucas told Lia that he can't turn back. He told her that he was pleading for help but Lia never listen to him. Lia asks him where he's hiding Mateo. Lucas angrily shouted that he does not know. Can't she understand him? He needs help from her. Lia asked him what does he want? Lucas just needs Lia beside him forever. Her accepting him even if he's a monster and for her to love him. Lia answered him that she would do that if he would lead them to Mateo. Lucas covered his ears and shouted that he's tired of hearing Mateo's name. So she should stop it right now. He was very angry.

Vergara's group came in and pointed their guns to Lucas. Lia told them they should not kill Lucas yet. They still need Lucas for they don't know where is Mateo. Lucas run off and they chase him.

Lucas and his goons attacked Magnus group, Lydia's camp, Olive's place and in the city. It was televised and Lucille watched it. Now she knew that all along Lia was right.

Jethro tried to get some premonition on how they can win their fight with Lucas. He saw Lia and Mateo bit each other. He told the heads what he saw. Lia was against it since that would mean they would die and that would put her baby  in jeopardy. Clarisse went in with her mom. Lucille and her group kneel known and asked the Punong Bantay to forgive them. Lia told her that she was always looking forward with this day. For their clan to be united and for the former Punong Bantay fighting beside her.

Imelda realizes that Magnus does not care for them after they we're attacked and she was told by Magnus himself that he never did care for her. Imelda told Marcus to free Mateo since they are being attacked and their numbers are dwindling. They need Mateo's strength. But Marcus was against freeing Mateo. After that she went to Lydia's group and told her that they are there to join their ranks, and that they finally realizes that Magnus can't be reasoned with anymore. There are there to be united (with Lydia's vampire and Wayas) and if they are united in fighting Lucas there might be a possibility to get back where they used to be..a peaceful nation.

Lia was roaming some places looking for Mateo.

The attacks were being broadcasted in the tube and the reporters were telling the public what the government's official statement on this matter.There was an outbreak of some unknown virus that was turning people like this. They should not be alarmed. Just stay inside their houses until they resolved this matter. The reporter was seen being dragged out of the screen. The next thing we know Lucas onscreen and giving a speech. He told the viewers that they should not believe what the government was saying. They should believe HIM. He and his group would attack the city and turn those they have bitten like him. But, he would not do it if Lia Ortega would come to him

4/29/2011

Lia gave a speech with all the vampire, waya and humans who wants to fight Lucas group. They are fighting for their clan and for peace.

Marcus (beside the coffin where mateo is): Lucas called Lia off in front of all the people who watched the report. But he would also text Lia to come on his lair and save Mateo. He know that Lia would run to save Mateo than look after Lia's clan and all the people for she loves him that much.

mateo still trying to get out to no avail

Lucilled convinced Lia to face Lucas. She and Lucille would go to Marcus lair to save Mateo.

Lucille vs Marcus: they fought with each other and their underling fought with each other. Lucille's underlings won vs his so he run off to get a lance. He was about to throw it to the coffin. Clarissed shouted at hm to stop (she was too weak here. She's a warewolf so why don't she fight back??? she went to a battle and she's unprepared????) she fell down and Marcus was about to throw the lance at her. Lucille stop infront of her. he pierced Lucille with the lance. went back to kill mateo with the lance. Lucille still have the energy to get the lance from him and pull it towards his heart. Marcus died. he turned to dust. Lucille died on clarisse arms and telling her she loves her.

mateo punches the lid of the coffin (about time!)

Lia VS Lucas

Lucas telling Lia if she is ready to be turned like him when she did not go to Marcus to save Mateo. Lia told him that she'll never love him and never go to him.

Lucas raised his hand, Out came Lucas group. Lia smiled and told him she's also ready for him and move her head and her allies went out.

some we're bitten on Lydias group. Imelda died sacrifices herself (no choice. she's surrounded so she detonated the bomb).

yay! here comes mateo riding a motorcycle.

Mateo and LIA VS Lucas

Even if they punched Lucas it was no use. Lucas is too strong for them. Lia was pierced on the chest by LUcas. He went to Mateo and was about to bit him but Lia pulled out the steel and flew and throw it towards Luca. When Lucas was avoiding the the steel Lia threw on his side, Lia grabbed mateo. they ran away.

she told mateo there's no choice they have to be one. Mateo does not agree. Lia told him for their baby they have to do it. Mateo bit Lia. Looks like mateo's gone. Lucas was rejoicing. Lia should be with him since he's now the strongest living creature in the world. Lia told him never ever. Lucas strangle Lia. If he can't have him then he'll send Lia to the other side to be with Mateo. Mateo grabbed Lucas hand and threw him off Lia. Lia's now weak like Mateo. whispered sorry to her unborn child.after a few minutes Lia's strong. Flew off to join the fight. they defeated Luca. They won. get up.  walk a few steps then fell down. their baby telling them she loves her mom and dad.

A few survived the fight.

Lia and Mateo with their baby. Lia telling her child that she would make protect her always. And in the future, humans would accept them.

the end.

*sorry I am sleepy na...so disappointed. The fight was not intense. did not feel it. the waya's should have turned into warewolves. they could snap the necks of their enemies. the fight was all punching and kicking. If I were there and fighting for my life I would not go out there with just a bamboo stick..those monsters are stronger than a mere human or even more stronger than the wayas, they should have brought an armed themselves well. or if they have a sword aim for the necks! Behead them.

*I think carlos agassi's character died. he was not shown with the survivors.

*I don't know why but if Pacman was in the series he would have ended the fight with all of Lucas underlings. It was just..hays...it would have been more pretty interesting if: vampire would leap on the air and slashed the monsters. the wayas turned into werewolves. and the humans should have equiped themselves better. It's just so dead wrong on my prespective.

they should have thought what the characters of the story would have done. we're not living in the middle ages so they can armed themselves better.

But then again. I am not the writer. I am just an audience.

the ending may have not sated my taste but I'll watche the story from the beginning. LObo is still my fave..and this one. maybe they run out of time (got confused by angel's dress. The dress and the flow of the story does not match. It was as if angel recycled what she wore the other day. But then again as I said they must have run out of time to film this). so i'll just bear with it. anyway, can't do with it. It's done! hahaha

I am a kapamilya! so good job guys! more good shows to come ^_^

IMORTAL FINALE

Two more days and IMORTAL would end. How sad. But it's at relief! hehe. It would be a bit tiring to have a long TV series. Its an improvement for the soap operas and tv series we have now. Years ago it would run for a long time and the scenes are dragging already and we the viewers would complain to please just end it already! (remember Mara-Clara?? It took years for them to know the real heiress and the evidence is just under their nose! hehe)

It's sad to say goodbye to Imortal and a lot of people would agree that we have a love-hate relationship with all the characters (love lia, mateo and especially sam's character!)

Here's what happened last night:

Lia went to the apartment where Simon was attacked. She saw some pills scattered on the table. She suddenly had stomach pains and she fell down. She touched the blood on the floor and she saw simon on the floor and the attacker was standing over her. I don't know if she knows that the attacker was actually Lucas.
Mateo was chained in a pillar and being slash by a chain by Imelda (Francine Prieto) magnus came in and got the chain and slash Mateo too. Then the next scene he was put in a coffin. Magnus was heard saying that Lia would never find Mateo. (I was really surprised when I saw Lia wearing my dress!! I also have that! LOve it! But the boots she's wearing does not go well with the dress)

Lia had another dream with her daughter (a toddler is talking with Lia. I think she's a telepath since she's still a toddler and can't talk. hindi sya si Lam-ang! hehe). She told Lia that she should not fight them. Then she woke up and Lucille's group entered the compound.

Mateo and company meanwhile saved the people in the summit. Lydia (Nikki valdes) does some hypnotizing with the people, so that they won't remember what really happen. Mateo manage to wound Magnus but Sam called his attention that made Magnus run away from Mateo.

Mateo asked Sam if she's really an ally when it shows that her intention was to freed her father. Sam told him if that's really what he thinks of her? and she told him that on their investigation that Lucas may be involved with all the killings. Mateo does not believe her. She told him that Magnus have bitten Lucas and even Magnus was surprised that Lucas is still alive. Maybe he's a monster now. Mateo walks away from Sam and leave.

Sam called Lia and told her about the investigation. She'll go to the hospital again and spy on Lucas.

Mateo received a text that Lucille's on the compound and is about to attack. A group of Vampires put a chain around him and drive off in a van.

Lucille's band and Lia's company had a face-off but Lia told her side to put down their guns. She told Lucille that she believes that Lucille really loves the Wayas Clan and only looks for the good of the Clan. That's what her sentiments too. If she really cares for the Waya's, she wants her to show it. If she can stomach killing her defenseless clansmen. If she did that, that only proves who she really is and what's she stands for. Lucille told her men to retreat. She told Lia that the next time they will fight she will not retreat and Lia should fight back. Carlos agassi's group went back to Lia's when they received a text informing them that Lucille is there to attack and kill Lia.

The captain of Lucille's team told her that some of the team are now having doubts on where she stands and maybe she's now being swayed into Lia's camp. She told them that if they want to they can go back but she won't go with them. She does not kill those who does not have a will to fight.

Sam confronted Lucas. Lucas took off and she run after him. They end up in some run down theater. She told him that he will all be alone. He got mad at her and bit Sam. Sam run away. Her right arm was turning to look like Lucas.

She went to Lia and told her that she got bitten by Lucas. She does not want to be a monster. She took a gun from Vergara (Carlos A) , told Lia to tell Mateo that she will always love him (waahhhhhh!!!! true love really is so heratbreaking especially if it's one sided!) and lock herself inside a room. Lia's company was knocking and knocking and shouting for sam to open the door.( I thought that waya's are super strong so why don't they just barge in..knocked down the door??? really confuse. the writer did not think well in this scene. so lame! hays! ) Sam killed herself. (so sad! Sam was one of my favorite character. I hope Maricar would have some more project's in ABS. She sure can act)

They have some burial ceremony for Sam. She did not turn into dust (maybe due to her being bitten by Lucas she's now not a purely vampire. Maybe that's the reason why she's not like the vampires who died who turn into dust. That's just a theory!)

Magnus and IMelda saw the burial of sam and while they are cremating her corpse Magnus uttered that he will avenge Sam's death ( I think he blames Mateo because on the teaser last night he was with Lucas and they are planning to kill Lia and Mateo and after that he can turn him (Magnus) like Lucas kind).

Mateo was trying to get out of the coffin but his hand we're being burned.

Let's watch out what will happen tonight!
