There's more liberty in the new show G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It's New Day)

G.R.I.N.D. cast : Bruno Gabriel, Jazz Ocampo, Ayra Mariano and Benedict Campos

Is it really that difficult to understand the millennials? Been hearing some qualms about the generation gap we are facing today. The Generation Y or the so-called Millennials have seemed to leaped quite big making them the most "hard-to-understand" class in the community today.  

Well, falter not, because the right show has come to the rescue! GMA 7 has also evolved its viewing market, making "G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It's New Day)," put to a late evening time slot which is every Saturday, right after "iWitness." Basically this new more mature kinda' show tackles the life of the millennials. Their back stories, struggles, visions, hang-ups, tantrums, bratty manners, sentiments, how they deal with different relationships, interacting with people around them, how they come up, how they can survive in this world, how they love and dream! 

G.R.I N.D. (Get Ready It's New Day), has a very positive title right? Need not to extract it further, the program wanted to bridge the "unspoken gap" between the X and Y gens. I guess this will help us understand them more and know what they actually want and need. And what is their main purpose in life, and with this we can all make amends and meet in the middle (try harder) to make a brand new and positive beginning because, as the title implies, "G.R.I.N.D. (Get Ready It's New Day)!" 

Just recently we were able to meet and know more about the show and its cast via the GMA Artist Center's blogcon for the G.R.I.N.D. 

If you want to get to know the cast and their characters, we start with ...

Jazz Ocampo a.k.a. Solanj Martinez in the story 

Solanj is Solangermina Tamara Martinez, the Artsy Millennial, she's from a well-off family, quite bratty, her hair color depends on her mood, an undergraduate daughter who is still indecisive of what she wanted to pursue in her life. Jumping from one course to another as well as her relationships with different types of men. Her failures make her stronger in the outside but once you've get her deeply, she has a soft heart. Her ultimate goal is she wants to be her own person! She wants to be accepted by her family for what she is and what she is not! 

Ayra Mariano a.k.a. Lui

Lui is Luisa Carmela Gonzales, a 23 year old gal. You can tag her ad "The Hopeless Romantic" and "Miss Pangkabuhayan Showcase." A fresh graduate of Communication Arts and an Advertising assistant. Her being naive and eager-beaver has also a back story. Most of her shoutouts in life pertains to questioning why does she has to be the bread-winner, and why does her mother has to rely to the notion that hooking a foreigner is the only way to save them from being poor, thus, she has siblings of different nationalities from their different fathers. One last thing, she's a certified member of NBSB (No Boyfriend Since Birth) community. Her biggest secret? She has a huge crush on Carlo! 

Bruno Gabriel a.k.a. Carlo Yuson 

Carlo is the risk-taker and ambitious millennial. He has good looks but sometimes moody and bossy. He has a flourishing career as an Advertising, Promotions and Marketing Manager in one of the largest ad agencies in town. His great looks and status in life make him one of the most sought-after eligible bachelors in the country. But wait! There's a catch! He is already taken! 

He come from a poor family before that's why he had worked hard for where he is right now. His biggest secret??? 

Carlo is drawn to older women because his mother had left them that's why he seeks the kind of nurturing, comfort and love from mature women. 

Benedict Campos a.k.a. RK

RK is actually Reynaldo Katakutan Jr. I can say the one character that's so "gay" in many ways! He's outlook in life is so positive despite the fact that he's financially challenged. We can attribute his "good vibes" attitude maybe because he belongs to a happy and complete family whom he feel so much love and very well accepted as what he truly is. A metro gay who is family-oriented and hard-working. He works as a part-time dance instructor, part-time gym instructor/salesman/networking agent/manicurista, masahista and a lot more! 

Jazz Ocampo, Bruno Gabriel and Ayra Mariano during G.R.I.N.D. blogcon (minus Benedict) 

This show has a big potential. It is a platform for enlightenment, entertainment and inspiration. The Millennials, Generation Y, Generation Me, Echo Boomers and Peter Pan Generation can now be well understood through this new tv show. As the show's vision states, "G.R.I.N.D. hopes to inspire this generation to keep them motivated and driven in reaching for their dreams but still value the things that matter more in life like family, education and faith in our creator." 

Exciting G.R.I.N.D. episodes awaits us peeps! So do check it out!
