THE START of the 2010s mark the unfolding of influence of Facebook and Twitter into our daily lives while the governments of the world are constantly planning and monitoring their plan of recovery from the Great Recession.
The viral video of the year is the Double Rainbow while in the middle of the year, the 2204355 meme (the gif of a KFC guy superimposed over the rainbow background to the tune of the chiptune of ALF theme). Rage comics, with the signature troll face (U Mad?), remains the mainstream funny of the cyberspace.
Jejemon is our own response of embracing the new culture — from text messaging, fashion and even on our media (Eugene Domingo’s JejeMom and Dolphy’s Father Jejemon). This trend seems to be a fad as the style is discouraged by our Department of Education.
The most discussed teleserye of that year is Agua Bendita (ABS-CBN) as Bruno Mars stands on his own musical path.
