Watching the Premier of Hidden Cities Extreme Season 2

These days had some exciting things for reality TV for me and it's pretty awesome, these were the newest seasons of "The Amazing Race" in AXN and History's "The Pickers/American Pickers" and "Hidden Cities Extreme", which by the way, I'll be talking about in this post. 

What can I say about it? I just watched the first episode of the new season of "Hidden Cities Extreme" and wow, that was a great show, exciting. For those who don't know, it's hosted by a guy named Simon Yin and he goes around different countries in Asia, doing some of their more unusual, weirdest and more extreme experiences that they can offer. It's been to different countries such as here in the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand and Korea to mention a few and this season has some new countries coming.A great decision on their part to start the new season here in Manila. In fact, back in the first season of the show, it all began here too in the Philippines, but in Cebu. And since I watched it for the first time, I found it not only interesting but as I watched it more, I found it to be funny and of course, extreme. I gotta admit, the host Simon is really funny and sure knows how to enjoy himself all right.

Actually, not all of the episode was in Metro Manila as some parts were set in Pampanga, one at some town there (don't know where but I saw what looked like Mt. Arayat in the background) where he hunted for rats and the last part was in Angeles City. The rest were here in Metro Manila, such as in Pandacan, where he went rail skating on the PNR rail tracks and Taguig where he participated in an underwater hockey game. I sure learned more things I didn't know about all right. Nice to see new things, especially in this fun show.

Overall, really funny and awesome episode. It's definitely something to be excited about and hopefully, I'll enjoy the coming episodes like I did tonight. The show's funny, full of adventure and really entertaining. Gonna warn though, the show's not for people who can't handle even just seeing really weird things and extreme stunts on TV.

Checking out Fisher Mall

I checked out one of the newest malls here in Quezon City, Fisher Mall in Pantranco, along Quezon avenue. I gotta say that the mall is interesting and much of it is open already, although there are still many shops to be opened soon. I found it quite neat and spacious, but probably because it's new. :) I have to admit though, it's bigger than what I thought when I learned that there's gonna be a new mall there. Since some parts of it is still not yet ready and some finishing touches have yet to be made, it would be nice to see it all once it's totally finished, but it is a good place to go to nonetheless. Still, other malls such as SM or Trinoma are superior though, in my opinion.

I'll be sharing some shots I have of this new mall. Maybe I should've taken better pics.
