What makes my day…
Oct 2nd, 2010 by Kimberley Chung
About my first blog, writing about a laptop isn’t really my cup of tea. But that was the first thing that came to my mind. This week I want to let you know more about myself and what I enjoy doing! After a long, stressful week at school, I am in desperate need for some relaxation. My best friend, in terms of relaxing, is my TV!!!
Here is my TV list of the week and this usually carries on throughout the year… 🙂 I’ve had to make some cuts and changes due to a heavy academic workload and extra-circular activities, but TV is what makes my day and what I look forward to after a long day of work!
Monday – Gossip Girl
Tuesday – One Tree Hill (on the verge of cutting this from my list, but we’ll see…)
Wednesday – Survivor (on the verge of cutting from my list as well…)
Thursday – Vampire Diaries, Grey’s Anatomy
Sunday – Desperate Housewives
Off Season shows/occasionally watched shows include: Pretty Little Liars, Hell’s Kitchen, Biggest Loser, Friends, Private Practice, Brothers and Sisters, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol … (yes… I know I am a TV FREAK)
Gossip Girl – I only started watching GG within the last two years. I missed the first few seasons, but I picked up quickly on what was going on. Gossip Girl is quite intense and every episode is left off with a cliff hanger. It just makes me want to watch the next and the next and the next! Unfortunately, I have to wait a whole week. What makes GG different than the other shows? Privileged teenagers with way too complicated lives, high-class private school in a hierarchy system, and mixed up friends/family relationships. GG is also based on a book. Full of drama and MANY misunderstandings. Love it!
One Tree Hill – I watched the first five seasons last summer, after my cousin introduced the show to me. Wherever I went, at home, at a friend’s house, in Mexico, on a cruise, I brought my portable DVD player and watched multiple episodes at a time. It’s quite addicting because once you watch one episode, because you want to watch the next one and the cycle repeats. OTH is about a small but not too quiet town in North Carolina, where the greatest source of pride is the high school basketball team, the Ravens. This series progressed quite successfully, but after season five, two of the main characters, Lucas and Peyton, quit the show. After that, the show ratings declined and the show became less interesting. That is why, I am considering if OTH gives me maximum happiness.
Survivor – This show has been around for many years.. Something like 1o + years? I remember when I was in grade 7 or something and I saw this show, I was like… hmm not interested! But ever since last year, my younger brother started watching the show and slowly I got lured in to watching it too! I developed a strong support for a few of the participants and followed up by watching the Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains season. It was very enjoyable and interesting to watch. I don’t think I would ever survive on the show because I hate being outdoors and mentally, I would NOT be able to kill a chicken, cook it, and eat it. Although, the challenges look very fun!
Vampire Diaries – WHAT CAN I SAY? This is one of the most intense shows ever! It is also based on a book. You might relate VD to Twilight, but VD is 10x better than any of the twilight series and it does not contain the bad acting portrayed in Twilight. VD had the most intense season finale (along with Grey’s Anatomy), and it left EVERYONE on the edge of their seats. I couldn’t stop talking about what happened in the finale and I re-watched it more than 5 times!! Although VD is quite scary, it is one of my top favourites!
Grey’s Anatomy – I love this show because at one point in my life, I wanted to pursue a career in sciences — to be specific, in optometry. The situation and plot of the story is drastically different than GG or VD, and it’s a completely different genre. I never get bored of what’s going on, and it really portrays the life of doctors and nurses. Their lives are unpredictable and there are always extreme cases that are very interesting to observe. The season finale of last seasons’ GA was VERY suspenseful and shocking! Just what I like!
Desperate Housewives – It’s a corky, fun and entertaining show! At times there can be quite the scare, but overall it is a very enjoyable show to just lay back and relax! Secrets and truths unfold through the lives of female friends in one suburban neighbourhood, after the mysterious suicide of a neighbour. Too good!
That was a bit long… didn’t mean to blab on that much! But as you can tell, I can go on and on about the shows I watch! From first year, I already had to cut down more than half of my shows! 🙁
That’s it for now — Toodles!
