Gossip Girl
once again, i had spend the entire work day reading different xanga sites.. came across many new favorites and cant help to subscribe them..thanks fellow xangans for giving some sunshine into my boring office life during monday-friday (how i wish the work week was monday-thursday, it just makes more sense, dont you thin?)...enough ranting....after reading these wonderful blogs, i am inspired to write again.. of cos... my ranting are far from sophistication.. but at least i am making the effort..
recently, me and a couple of my girlfriends (some guys too, but names wont be mention since it might totally trash their NON-GAY image) are totally addicted to CW's Gossip Girl....since i dont live in america, so I dont get the pleasure of watching american tv for free, fortnately, there are ways of obtaining them - wonderful world of Bit Torrent..
Choosing which TV series to watch is important, since it actually takes abit of TIME obtaining them.. and I wouldnt want to waste time retrieving something that took 3 days to download and end up trashing it in the Recycling Bin...so when i first saw postings of Gossip Girl on the Forum which i frequent, i told myself not not to download it since.. its so 90210.. Melrose Place.. OC.. just another drama about some teenage romance, how Girlfriend A couples with Boyfriend A, and her bestfriend Girlfriend B ends up in bed with Boyfriend A, and when the beans is spilt, Girlfriend A sleeps with Boyfriend A's best friend for revenge..hello.. i dont even watch those garbage back in Highschool, let alone now when i am way too close to the 30 line..
then everything changed as WRITERS STRIKE continues..
soon my favorite shows came to a halt.. Supernatural had not been out for i dont even know how long now..and i am dying to see Dean and Sammy again....there is LOST, but thats only 1 show and its only 1 episode per week.. so when i saw the post "Gossip Girl Season 1 out"... i just had to get it.... I had no other choice.. and getting a full season of TV do have some advantage.. no chasing every week....put it on when u dont want to watch anything else on TVB Jade or Pearl..... just 1 season of mindless crap which is always available.. its good enough for 1 - 2 months......
on 1 random boring saturday morning, instead of going shopping around crowded streets of CWB or Central, i had stay home instead.. started watching e.1 of Gossip Girl... then e.2..then to e.3.. people started calling on my mobile and i had to tell them i was doing something important at home...the call lasted like 5 seconds, then i was watching more and more of the season until it consumed all my energy! at about 5pm (or maybe 6 hehe), i was reflecting on my day and i just couldnt believe i was hooked to the show.. the series was so good.. full of highschool snobs living on upper east side.. bitching.. shopping @ Tiffanys and Saks.. buying Chanel at age of 16 and didnt even have to think twice.. it was like the perfect childhood in our way over superficial world.. it kinda reminded me of my own school.. seeing the characters of Serena and Blair reminded me of those girls who were always perfect looking, beautiful and going to country side playing Polo or having fun at the Races.. and last but the least having family trust funds since 1900s..
i wonder is it because i am getting older and somehow all this teenage crap that I use to hate are starting to grow on me (and not only that.. i thought Nate & Dan were kinda cute too! (then realise they were born in 1986/87 which makes them what..21/22...am I pedophilic?!).. reminding me how fun it was when all you had to think about was what to wear out to a party or visiting cafes at Double Bay.. gossiping non stop and worried about things like OMG my history essay is due like 1 month later..(is like who cares when Grown Ups have like corporate forecast due like TOMORROW and i am still procrastinating since the manager is on leave till next week!)
o how i wish i was those Girls now..
and that stupid tagline, i am craving for season 2 now.. you know i love u xoxo Gossip Girl!
