Choisir ou travay!

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

The MBC will be proposing as from tomorrow a new programme about vacancies in various companies, private as well as public. How will they go around remains to be seen? Will they be reading all the ads concerning job offers and broadcast them? The idea is good but i do think that they will transcript all what is on papers and just air them. I mean i do not think companies will be contacting the national station for they are not recruiting agents.
There is another program “chek sa deal” which is being aired by the national station. At the very outset, the MBC published a disclaimer that it is not responsible for defects or unsame products. Chek sa deal is a partnership mbc and l’express, and is managed by IMS ltd. Six products are offered each week, and the offers are broadcast on the air waves also for 30 minutes over a frequency of five days a week. I mean it is good that they are intending to promote this kind of virtual showroom but over a frequency of five times a week is quite aggressive. i ended up quitting the program as i got fed up.

4400 broadcast today!

Friday, March 16th, 2007

4400 has been broadcast today on the local channel. It’s the story about 4400 men, kids and women who had disappeared ranging from a few months to 40 years, when a comet came close to planet earth. They reappeared all not knowing what happened to them, but each of them has unique ability after they have been abducted. Seems like x-files with agent Mulder and Scully investigating the matter.

In a different line, i would like to express my sympathy to a friend who has been recently in a turmoil. Hope he would recognise himself..g***t

Spiderman3

Sunday, December 31st, 2006

Saw the trailer today for Spiderman3. The overview sounds great. Seems that the movie has adapted an episode of comic book  whereby the hero gets into contact with alien stone which happens to contain a black viscous liquid. The liquid which is an alien gains control of the hero, who has to contain his dark side. Am eager to watch it!! But as far as trailers are concerned, they are made to get people to watch even if the film is poor!!! So let’s wait and see…

And the winner is…

Yesterday, i was reading a disney comics and was surprised to learn that Donald Duck is 72 years old… Not even a wrinkle. Mickey Mouse on the other hand is 5 years older.  The infant of Herge, on the other hand is 77 years old. The event was celebrated around the world. And still going strong…

Star Academy!

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

star_academy_6.jpgWatched the Star Academy prime each friday till late in the morning. Think i must pass a resolution to stop watching the show at this time and get to bed early because on Saturday morning, i feel sleepy and damnn my head really aches. I managed to cope with it for say the last 5-6 weeks but now, the drop overflooded the bowl.

V-revisited!

v-.jpg
The 20 year old saga of “V” has been rebroadcast on the local channel since sunday last. While we were expecting to see the beginning episode of the epic, the national station broadcast the middle episodes of the series, when the rebels were beginning to gain grounds on the visitors. I was expecting a second season after Elizabeth went with the master of the lizard species, but i guess there was no new season.. I remembered watching the saga when i was still a kid, looking under my bed for any “requin des sables”. I was always shaking when the episode began. It was the good old times when the first science fiction “film” was aired in Mauritius.
