do you find it weird sometimes when you see tears falling from your eyes over a lousy "pinoy teleserye" (filipino tv series) showing on your flat tv while your munching piatos like a 3-year old?

and even if you have preliminary exams in school the next day and you know for the fact that you haven't reviewed your notes yet, your eyes are still glued on the tv screen waiting anxiously for what will happen next to the story's main character. you think why give a damn should you fail the "prelims", while confidently practising in your head with a devilish smile the infamous line "i know i'd do better next time anyway".

sounds familiar? hey, what makes soap opera so addicting? really i wanna know the answer.
