So I was having my late lunch of Street-Style Pad Thai from Green Mango mixed with Pork BBQ from Aristokrat (not the real one with a "C," but definitely tastes as good) and I felt the urge to go Bakya, as usual. Channel 606 costs about 18 CAD/month and satellite TV is not allowed in the pad so I thought I should make do with it no matter how creatively-challenged the stations they carry are. Do you remember Regal Shockers? Yes, exactly! Mother Lily's baby. The show starts with a grim reaperish being bearing a neon-lighted scythe and orbicularis oculi. A big blast from the past 'coz the episode stars Pinky Amador, Laarni Enriquez, Dennis Roldan, and some 80's Regal Babies I don't remember. I remember watching it wide-eyed with my sisters and yaya everytime it's on and then having to imagine monsters in the dark in my room after. Talk about PG TV back in the 80's?! I din't care and din't know about CGIs and prosthetics then, so it was all real to me. It's funny to look back and laugh at how Bakya the household was then (as if it changed a lot in twenty years?). It's weird that I kept on laughing instead of feeling uneasy with the sequences. Of course I din't finish it and decided to rechannel my homesickness by finishing a big chunk of Sans Rival courtesy of Goldilocks.
