Sick + TV Series Marathon

I've been sick for the past 3 days, and it would've been a bummer if not for Grey's Anatomy and Sex and The City.

Yep, I have been doing tv series marathons for days now, and somehow it made me feel better amid the chills, clogged nose, headaches, and of course, the lethal combination of fever and asthma.

Did Grey's Anatomy for the first two days, and today, it was SATC.

Goodness, I missed SATC so much. Until now I haven't watched a show that I have related to with so much passion. Well at least back then, when I was single, SATC was THE show.

Yes, I was a late bloomer when it came to this show, only got to watch it after my (ex)bf told me that I was the real life Carrie Bradshaw (minus the fashion sense and writing skills though hahaha). I remembered that statement. I was saying something, trying to be a drama queen, when he just laughed and said "Do you watch SATC? Because you should watch it, this Carri Bradshaw character, that's you. It's scary."

Nowadays, there isn't a show that I can relate to in real life that much, because most of the stuff I watch are either sci-fi, murder stuff, medieval-ish, or for-singles shows.

Closest is probably Grey's Anatomy, which is my newfound fave. I can't vouch for the accuracy in portraying medical conditions, treatments, and discussions such as Tysabri side effects, but the show looks convincing to me.

Yeah, I know. It took me what, a couple of years behind to unearth this show. But better late than never. I love it. I love the message it gives. Yeah, this is one show I could relate to.

Anyways, break time over, will probably write about this next time. I hope SATC inspires me enough to get me back into my good old blogging habits.

Hope I get well soon.

4 Women, Rolled Into 1

I watched Sex and the City 2 with my sister last night, and I surely had fun watching the 4 different but very interesting ladies (and the men too) as they move on with their lives. I enjoyed the film not because of the plot, but because of how the characters - how they evolved, their style, their friendship, their different personalities.

I could very well relate to all 4 of them, and it seemed that this movie was a reflection of how I am now as a woman. Hahaha.


The Carrie in Me

My ex-bf once told me that I should watch the Sex and the City series because Carrie reminded him of me. Probably because of the fashion but more because of the psyche and how I think, act and feel. Drama queen at its finest? Hahaha.

Now though I can still see myself in her character because of her view on things (yeah, I guess the ex-bf was right). I'm still fairly new to marriage and the husband and i are still feeling our way on what works best for us. Sometimes I do get paranoid that my dearest lover would think of me as bitch-wife (nyehehehe). I do remind him about our furniture. I disliked it when he's always in front of the TV (that's of course pre-laptop and pre-wifi days hahahah). Of course our difference was that I cook. Hehehe. Oh by the way, I don't like it when my hubby is away (or at whenever I think that he's trying to stay away from me hahaha) but i do ask for me-time. Unfair, eh? Hahaha.

Then of course the interests: I love fashion. I love writing - journalling, blogging, making articles. And I think it's quite obvious by now that decorating homes is my passion.

The Charlotte in Me

With Charlotte, I saw me as a mother and home maker. I try to keep our household together, while dealing with mommy issues and trying to make it seem like everything is fine. but like Charlotte, not everything is fine.

I did cry a couple of times because of my little girl. Don't get me wrong, I love her sooo much but no matter how a darling she may be, she stretches my patience to the ultimate limit. And sometimes, I feel guilty because of these thoughts - you know, just having me-time, getting angry (at myself for getting getting angry). I often wondered how mothers with no nannies were able to go through with raising their kids. I experienced 2 weeks of no helpers nor nannies and I almost went insane.

The Miranda in Me
Aside from her being a mom, I related to her being a career woman. Don't get me wrong. My Boss gave me all the opportunities to work independently and shine. However, there came a point in time when I felt that I had to choose between reaching the top and caring for my family. I chose what is more important to me. However, there are times when I missed working. But yeah when I was still working, I was glued to my work, even on off days. Emails, phone calls, texts. Ack. Ok, I think I'm done with that. Hahaha.

The Samantha in Me
Well.... this is a GP blog ok, so I can't really say much hahahaha. More into sensuality though rather than raw sexuality. After all, I'm still 30 something, right? Yohoo... hubby... Hahahaha. But I do get her point on trying to "preserve" her youth. I love love her character as it gives the audience super laugh trips.


This is one movie that I will probably never tire of watching. Speaking of which... Hmm, maybe I should download all episodes. Got the first movie DVD. Can't wait for me to get the latest one!

Anyway, this looks kinda close right?

Tueday Habit

Some years ago, I got hooked into watching the big TV Hit "Sex and the City." I was so glued to this series that I couldn't wait for the seasons to be aired in local tellies. I got crazy downloading the episodes and watching them in my computer. Gash, those were the days. Ever since it has ended though, there was not much TV series that I pay attention to, save for my old favorites: CSI, CSI Miami, and CSI NY. I also had the evening habit of watching local TV series (now I watch Lobo). These series however are not as light as SATC, my usual Tuesday Evening Habit/

After years of not having one, I finally have a new Tuesday Evening Habit in the form of this...

I LIKE!

Years ago, I have noticed Gossip Girl in bookstores. I was intrigued by the covers and was tempted to buy but didn't. Hehehe. Then I heard that a series was made based on the book (very SATC). Some people have been raving about it, saying it's the next SATC, but I didn't really paid much attention to it. Well, up until one Tuesday evening, I tuned in to FoxCrime and saw that I have already watched the CSI Miami episode being aired. I just kept on surfing the channels and stumbled upon the first credits of Gossip Girl. So I gave it a try and watched it. I LIKE!

Yep, what they said is true, it's very similar to SATC (with the fashionable clothes and all); even the lead girl kindly looked like SJP too!

Anyway, of course for me, nothing still beats SATC but at least it's a break from watching all crime stories and food shows.

Speaking of SATC... gash I can't wait till the movie hits the theaters!
