ally mcbeal

for the past few days, i just wanted to disappear for awhile by not being online and text up people because i felt depressed with this quarter-life crisis thing. then one afternoon, i screened over cable channels and got tuned at an old ally mcbeal episode then found myself laughing. i quickly searched for our dvd of full seasons and started to watch the first season. 

i'm a dvd addict and could could watch an entire season in one sitting. but ally mcbeal's has at least 23 episodes in one season as opposed to the normal 13 episodes in a season (according to my tv production prof). i watched some of the episodes back when i was in high school which was 10 years ago (damn i feel old!) but wasn't able to follow. it was a huge hit then before sex and the city. realizing now that the content is mature for me before that i can now relate to. ally is a 28 year old successful lawyer who is never contented with her life and her idealism to happiness is by having kids with the love of her life. throughout the 5 seasons, it presented the different views and levels of love, friendship, dating, and relationships. 

coincidentally, a friend of mine who is near her late 20s who is in a relationship told me that having one is not the key to happiness and i agreed. it's not the objective of happiness. it adds color to your life by bringing emotions of joy and pain. the true key to happiness is being content. ally is a clinically depressed woman with her funny hallucinations because she's never been contented with her life, in or out of a relationship. that's my nirvana. 

the childhood sweetheart of ally, billy whom she followed through law school and found him as her married co-worker. they became good friends but he passed away in season 3.

the funny john cage dance of barry white song

the best season for me would be season 2. ally had closure why billy broke up with her in college and her friendship deepened with the rest of the characters. there are setbacks though in the latter seasons. there's no continuing story of some characters why they were gone and the last season is too fictional having a 10 year old daughter genetically through fertility project. i most liked the script and tone. their conversations are very witty and intellectual. in the end, she didn't get the love of her life to a man but to her daughter. she moved from boston to new york analogous to moving on with her life and hopeful with love. :)

love your planet

my family cooperated with the Earth Hour that i didn't even know of that it was last night! but we did anyway closed our lights at home. it's supposed to make a stand against the effects of global warming. i am totally affected by it due to the weather change. it's supposed to be summer now and it keeps on pouring every afternoon for the past few days. so the effect on me is my dry cough which is grueling to my throat. :(

here's the official video from earthhour.org :)

i found at youtube on Earth Hour 2009 Philippines. the post result. :)

it just feels good to be socially aware and show that you care.

"So what: I have a little cellulite. What curvy girl doesn't!? How many people do you think are photoshopped? It happens all the time! I'm proud of my body and my curves and this picture coming out is probably helpful for everyone to see that just because I am on the cover of a magazine doesn't mean I'm perfect." -- Kim Kardashian

amen to that. it's not a little cellulite dear but i still commend you for your insights. i have a lot of that hahaha (fine i'm working hard on it!).

pinay dreamer

got this idea from my friend ana... as i was saying to another friend.. we just live once in a lifetime so you might as well set your goals high that even if you were not able to reach it, at least you will get something close to that. 

10 things i should have before 30:

1. own a business

2. million pesos savings

3. poledancing expertise and stayed being fit

4. my own pad

5. upgraded my car

6. a french speaking tongue

7. cooked meals

8. lived in a foreign country

9. own a designer wardrobe

10. tied the knot

i recommend you to this as well regardless of your age now just replace the number. it's fun! :D

my instant generation

have you even heard of 'generation y?' cool-sounding huh? next to the spice girls' pepsi jingle 'generation x.' as my intuitive self, i searched for it at wikipedia and says that this is the generation that were born from 1978 to 1995. it also described that:


The Generation Y are sometimes called the "Trophy Generation", or "Trophy Kids,"[15] a term that reflects the trend in competitive sports (as well as many other aspects of life) where "no one loses" and everyone gets a "Thanks for Participating" trophy. Although it seems that this educated, technologically advanced, success-driven generation would be ideal workers, corporate Human Resource (HR) departments are reporting the opposite"[15] Some employers are concerned that the members of Generation Y have too great expectations from the workplace and desire to shape their jobs to fit their lives rather than adapt their lives to the workplace.[16] 

--  from wikipedia.com

true enough, as the youngest in the brood and having a huge generation gap, the members of my family thinks that my job duration is bad by not sticking for more than one year which is most common in my generation. they are not aware of this 'generation y' thing that we were brought up in school where teachers taught us to be successful when you want to even as a kid. as the budding of technology arises, everything is instant. instant messaging, instant call, instant oatmeal, instant noodles, instant sandwich from fastfood chains, instant search through typing without checking the library and everything else. ergo, my generation wants everything instant. 

that's why most of us are frustrated when we can't get something right away because we're living in a world where everything is accessible. there are a lot of things that i want to do and still can't figure out which. there are so many doors to choose from. even in relationships and dating. we choose based on looks, personality, wit, etc. having a criteria and having so many options. 

sometimes i wish i lived during the renaissance so i don't have a hard time choosing where everything is set on who to marry, what you will become in the society, what your leisure will be, etc. men and women through ages fought for change, rights and freedom. but at this point in time, i can feel the very con of too much liberty.

when it comes to privacy... when and how is enough? i know celebrities, politicians or whoever made the headline always cries for it and hated paparazzi. unless they wanted the attention like paris or those who would pay in hollywood for them to get photographed and be in the tabloids. and now it has evolved if you wanna be in-the-know. the thing i can't live without next to water, the net.

a lot of stuff are going on since people really are individualists. lots of blogs and social networking popped like mushrooms. in my home for example all of us are online in real time having our own laptops or pc's and doesn't talk to one another. we just chat. sites like friendster, facebook, multiply, twitter or what-not can be a good and bad thing. i come to communicate again with long lost friends and acquaintances. i confess that i stalk people there and i'm sure some also do the same thing. but i don't like letting the whole world know what's going on with me. i need privacy.

i learned to set my facebook account's privacy setting where whatever i type on my wall will not be published or other details. i'm relieved that i do have control over what to publish or not. i love to surf and read everything i see interesting. then came google map. like a scene in james bond where they would use the satellite feed to find a wanted man. then i came across wikimapia. i am amazed how i can view the globe in top view, again like a sci-fi/action film. i naturally searched to see my own home and how i'm surprised to know. someone tagged my house with a caption of my name. it's really really creepy even if that person doesn't mean harm but the thought that anyone can find my location is way scary.

something like this at wikimapia

it's overboard that you can't even delete it. there's even a link for the 'deleted places' and you will still see the tags. some people even upload their pictures and know their locations. i don't mind if other people like it because it can be used for good then again for bad. tagging my house is snooping and i have a right to my privacy.
