Sa isang forum, dahil puro high school ang mga estudyanteng nakikinig, humugot ako ng isang baraha para ipasok sila sa diskusyon. Tinalakay ko ang opening episode ng second season ng "Glee." Kapapalabas pa lang nito, at siempre ay hit dahil nga si Charice Pempengco ang kasama rito. Sa nakaraang gabi lang ito pinalabas, pero marami na ang nakapanood nito.
