and ONLY sky cable have OH TOKYO! which i truly love...featuring my favorite host...
TITA ELEANOR!!!...hehehe

Quote from: clockwork chico on Jul 30, 2002 at 11:00 AM

yes...tita eleanor rules big time...

"oh, nandito na tayo sa isang japanese restaurant, maraming klaseng pagkain dito..ang tawag dito ay sushi, ito naman ay fried chicken, sa tagalog ang tawag dito ay pinritong manok..hmm mukhang masarap sha ah..matikman nga..hmmm..masarap nga sha at medyo malinamnam"

and i thought..im the only person who watches and actually enjoys the show...truly makes a guilty pleasure

more on tita Eleanor's typical lines (how I hear it):

(while interviewing a Japanese) shamo dumo kao shi mei, deshka? manipako labo labo sumo, deshka? Baki lagi nah lang mei deshka?

(Jap would answer and would smile and laugh leaving the Pinoy audience clueless)

(tita Eleanor talks again): ang sabi po niya ay talaga namang nasiyan po siya sa pagbisita sa lugar na ito. Katunayan, dadalhin daw po niya ang kanyang lolo bukas para makasakay rin sa roller coaster.

Yeah I know CrUzSACK. There were posts last year expressing your admiration to tita Eleanor.

I have yet to look for that.

Hehehe......

Here are more info on our favorite tita:

*Oh! Tokyo is a Japan information show aired on the WINS cable channel. Filipino reporters are sent to museums, expositions, and special events to interview Japanese people and then translate everything into Tagalog (the local dialect). Eleanor, the original host (shown above), has endeared herself to the audience because of her awkward - sounding Japanese and unintentionally funny commentary.

The show itself sometimes get me dizzy. The Cameraman is not stable whil shooting the segment. Lightings is also bad.

nevertheless, A good alterantive kapag wala ng show mapanood sa Cable tv (bad thing was upon moving from Sky to Destiny wala na WINS channel)

demented_angel · « **Reply #7 on:** Aug 01, 2002 at 05:51 PM »

hey guys...off topic pero its still in the wins channel...

have u seen the very thin newscaster which tells the news in jap every morning around 8 am i think...

this you've got to see...di na ko magsasalita...basta watch na lang kayo...

and the old man who is always on the show...wawa naman still being interviewed over and over again...or lagi lang replay napapanood ko...hahahaha

i dunno what cable service you are subscribed to ... but we still get WINS on destiny (channel 52)... "oh tokyo" doesn't air as much anymore tho. but i still see eleanor doing some newscasts... LOL.

while i think eleanor is DA BEST!! favorite lines from the show actually don't come from her:

"...dito lang sa INter ef em!"

"wow! eets enkreydibol! ang dami nilang die-know-sores dito! para ka talagang nasa OUTER SPACE!"

and from "oh manila"...

"ah... ito na pala po 'yun kanilang porter steak house... ang laki-laki pala. kaya ko kaya maubos ito?"

CrUzSACK · « **Reply #11 on:** Sep 17, 2004 at 07:23 AM »

Oo nga no... haven't seen Tita Eleanor in quite awhile rin. Last I saw of Oh Tokyo, some pretty looking English speaking Japanese-Pinay looking woman was hosting it. Not fun.

Hahaha!

Mahanap nga ulit ito sa cable mamaya!

I sometimes catch their "newscast" though. Yung may flag ng Philippines and Japan on either sides of the table tapos nagsisikipan sila sa table to fit in the set and probably in the TV frame. Tapos may plastic fruit or miniature jeepney sa harap ng lamesa nila...

riverfan · « **Reply #12 on:** Sep 17, 2004 at 03:08 PM »

im a subscriber of sky cable. channel 55.

A former officemate used to be one of the hosts for this show

She's the one who did the "instructional" skits.

alcobobaz · « **Reply #14 on:** Sep 24, 2004 at 04:58 PM »

oh my god. i used to love this show. "Tita" Eleanor was the bomb, baby! hahaha.

too bad Cablelink doesnt carry WINS.

she's one of the many things i miss on tv. including takeshi, small wonder and the crystal maze.

i took the bus recently (yeah... i'm a slave to public transportation too.)

and there was a guy with a BLACK TEE WITH THE "WINS" LOGO IN RED in the bus! i so wanted to rip that shirt off his back! LOL.

with the manghuhula all covered in black and sequins. speaking in a deep eerie tone.

oh, how i miss the rides and the food. The food always gets to me. When Tita Eleanor starts to eat, feeling ko kasama ko sya sa table. "Omrice" and the big juicy burger at the in-door amusement park. jeez, this is making me hungry.

i will never forget when she chose to eat chicken marsala at the cafeteria veranda with the wind blowing full on! it looked like she was having lunch the middle of a hurricane! i half expected her tray to come flying off the table. LOL.

eleanor is such a trooper!
