Sagada 2009 Video Journal 4:54 PM
Episode 1 - Straddling the Mountain Province Border
Christa shows how not to make friends.
Episode 2 - Clay Spinning
I got excited when I first heard we were to see how pot was made. I was bitterly disappointed in the end. I guess we were not to see African-American women doing hair braids in Sagada Weaving.
Episode 3 - High Altitude Sunrise
We got there at 5:20 am. I haven't had my coffee yet. I was starting appreciate the quiet surroundings when the girl beside me started cheering frantically all of a sudden at the sun's ascendancy. I wanted to hurl myself down the cliff when she started to sing the theme from Batibot. I had to move away.
Episode 4 - Downhill Slope
Arthur explains to Viggy the intricacies of HDR photography.
Episode 5 - Conquering Rice Fields
Trekking through centuries old livelihood.
Episode 6 - Eventually Falls
Whoever said that getting there is half the fun, never got there.
Episode 7 - Highland Oasis
Water crashes thunderously below a bed of rocks and earth. The mist rises.
Episode 8 - Summer Blooms
Going through the flowers here, I met a friendly old bee. I was amused until he became too friendly.

Mid-Season Replacements 9:04 PM
Battlestar Galactica + Sunshine = Defying Gravity
The program follows the adventures of eight astronauts on board the international spacecraft Antares. In a story within the story, the lives of the astronauts are being recorded and broadcast back to Earth as part of an ongoing documentary. In spite of a libido-suppressing device worn by each crew member, romantic entanglement will occur. Further complicating their lives is a mysterious storage pod with a secret impact on their mission, referred to as Beta.
Pitched as the 'Grey's Anatomy' in space, let's see how this ambitious project fares.
Legally Blonde + Ugly Betty = Drop Dead Diva
The series revolves around a vapid blonde aspiring model, Deb Dobson (played by Brooke D'Orsay in the pilot and in flashbacks), who is killed in a car crash. As her soul enters the gates of Heaven, she finds herself declared a self-centered "zero" by the gatekeeper Fred. After not liking what she hears, she presses return, hoping to get back to Earth. Deb gets her wish, only to be brought back to life in the body of a recently deceased, intelligent, overweight lawyer named Jane Bingum. Initially horrified, Deb – in her new human form – discovers the meaning of inner beauty as she finds the ability to juggle legal cases, aided by her assistant Terri, while attempting to reconnect incognito with her still-grieving boyfriend, Grayson Kent. At the same time, Deb begins to rediscover her past while learning more about her inherited body's current life and how Jane was treated when she was alive. In addition to former gatekeeper Fred (who has been demoted to guardian angel and has now been assigned to watch over her at the law firm), only Deb's longtime mortal friend Stacy knows Jane's true identity.
Margaret Cho is going to win an Emmy for her role here.
