addiction


a few days back i read my friend gracie's blog about her addiction to grey's anatomy. have yet to see this series which is also a favorite of my workmates. so i'm putting it in my "to watch list."

i guess everyone of us has an addiction to something, either to material things or habits --- coffeeholics, alcoholics, shopaholics... joshuaholics hehehe

i for one was an asian novela addict. bought vcds from people that i only knew online for P350/set. i'll either send them an email or txt them what my order was and then we'll set a date to meet up & trade. i ended up buying a lot of them so that both my mom and i would have the latest or the best korean series/movie to share with our friends. if having copies of almost 50 vcd + dvds of korean series is not being an addict, i don't know what to call it anymore.

then i became a joshuaholic! after seeing the new freestyle perform live for the first time last nov 2006 at bagaberde, i constantly visited their site and stalked them every single moment that i can and made a fan club/yg for joshua, where i met my lovely party gals gracie, jen, martha & kay. thanks to the yg i ended up getting to know joshua & the rest of the band personally. we're real friends now and nothing could get better than that.

and now tenen! if u'll be browsing through my friendster www.friendster.com/pearlailene and this multiply profile, u can see what my new addiction is. obviously it's wentworth miller!!! as influenced by my dear tranchemate moonlight (with abdul as our pusher) i have gotten a liking to watching american series once more. have been hooked with beverly hills 90210, charmed, dawson's creek, gilmore girls, smallville & roswell in my younger days, so i guess this is just a major comeback of sorts hahaha. since the great innovation of pirated dvds broke out, my viewing addiction was never the same again. now u can buy a whole season of ur favorite series in just 1 dvd and that's for only P40 - 50/dvd at Q! got addicted to one tree hill first, bought all 3 seasons from abdul c/o of moonlight. then moonlight started convincing me to watch prison break. i'm not a big action fan. i don't like the sight of blood and people beating each other. as the title itself suggest the series is about breaking out of a prison, so what would u expect? it's a lot of big guys beating each other to death in prison. there are some scenes there that i really can't watch, especially when the main character michael scofield is getting hurt. but them the storyline is one of a kind. you just can't help but be amazed of the turn of events and the twists in the story that it's brilliant writer has thought of. it's awesome! u just can't guess what the ending of each episode would be. it's a perfect blend of suspense, action, drama, romance & some comedy rolled into one helluva roller coaster ride. the season 1 ender left me breathless cheering the them on to run away from the cops that were chasing them after they escaped and now the season 2 ender left me wondering what's next. yes i have already seen the last episode sweet caroline just right after it was shown in the states. thank goodness for the wonders of technology! now mIRC, teqn33x, smartbro, nero & my ever dependable lg dvd writer are my new best friends. i wonder if there would ever be another series that could top my addiction for prison break, just like no other teenage drama has topped my love for roswell, if there is, i hope that i could buy a dvd of it soon because i am in need of a rehab asap

post script: i stand corrected, the season 2 did not end with sweet caroline, there 3 more that i have not seen. i am currently downloading the real season ender ep22: SONA. just hope i could finish the download today & convert it by tonight so that i could also share it to my friends.
