Thumbs-Up!

Being a housewife,I've always watched opera soaps drama from Mexico,Venezuela and Colombia on tv.But this one was really excellent.It makes me excited everyday of what will happened the next episode.My husband hates to watch drama as he always knows what the story line would be like.Yo Soy Betty La Fea really amazed him and at times he's more excited than me.Even my two years old daughter will tell me,"Mummy...Betty!"when the show started.All the casts did a tremendous job especially Betty and Armando.Most Malaysians are talking about how good the show was.Can't wait for the next sequel of Eco Moda 2001 which I've checked on the net!!
