Magpasikat is the alternative for Showtime after it has been suspended. But another bad news is at hand.
MTRCB is pondering on their meeting of suspending Magpasikat. So what’s their reasons?
They said that the show is only the same as Showtime where in the hosts and the production staff are the same. In other words, the show only changed their name but not the show itself.
The suspension is not yet final. Let’s just wait for further announcements of MTRCB.

Showtime was suspended for Osang’s response about teachers. This was the topic of my recent post about the reason for Showtime’s suspension. So the first question that came into my mind was, “What show will replace Showtime?”
The answer is – Magpasikat. I am proud of the producers and director of this show since they have easily made a new alternative show for Showtime in one night.
Whatever name it is, either Showtime or Magpasikat, the bearing of the show will be the happiness that it will bring to the viewers. Many will still support the show regardless of its name for it’s already been a habit to all.
According to MTRCB, suspension of Showtime may last for less than 20 days. This will be a good news for everyone especially for the avid fans of the show.
Support Magpasikat and Let’s wait for the return of Showtime!
What are the lucky colors for the year 2010 or the year of the metal tiger?
Our 2010 chart is short of water, so we must nourish it by placing water.. therefore, productivity and money purposes will prosper. - Johnson Chua, a feng shui adviser.
Lucky colors for Chinese animal zodiac signs:
Blue – lucky color for those born on the year of the rat, rabbit,dragon, snake and rooster.
White – lucky color for those born on the year of the ox,tiger,sheep and monkey.
Violet - lucky color for those born on the year of the dog and pig.
Red and Violet - lucky color for those born on the year of the horse.
As early as now, figurines of metal or golden tigers are displayed in Binondo, Manila, such as the tiger with gourd (for good health) and tiger with Chinese cabbage and golden coins (for more money to come in).
“Maraming pera pasok kaso, pero kelangan ingat sa mga investment,” said feng shui practitioner Jean Chua. “Year of the tiger kasi pag once na marami ka na-invest, mahihirapan ibalik.”
Serving 5 round fruits on the dinner table during New Year’s Eve will also bring luck for the whole year.
