My Favorite Things

I love complex sentences. I love the rush of ideas, and how you can fit them in just one sentence...one llllloooooooooonnnnnngggggggg sentence...the one that your English grammar teacher discourages you to keep on doing, because it's just confusing. But then you think, "it's enjoyable to confuse people. You get to screen those who really are in it to read your thoughts!", and so you continue on. Then you realize there is this one sentence that looks more like a paragraph. That's so cool!!

I love the way the food delivery system here in our country keeps on evolving to satisfy customers, who have been adapting the Western way of laziness. I now have this new favorite:
The Jollibee Online Service of Katamaran.

It basically encourages you to lie flat on your bed, only spending a few ATPs, so you don't have to budge, because your whole body is sore from duty, and you are so tired to go down...because it is so much effort to walk and press that elevator button and walk a few steps to the nearest KFC (If you are familiar with the PGH area, you my friend, already know where I live...and I congratulate you for being very smart by practicing your Sherlock Holmes-like deduction skills). You can order online, and they will call you! Now the only problem with this type of service is when they knock, you do need to get up and answer the door...

I know the series has ended like years ago, but what can I do? I'm a freek (as opposed to gleek). I have seen the entire 10 seasons for two times already, and I'm doing it again. What's weird is I already know what's going to happen. I even say the lines alongside the actors. Yet I still laugh at the punchlines. Come to think of it, most of my humor has been founded by the sit-com. There is still no beating this show. I have to say I don't want to have friends like them, but I do want to have friends like them.




I have always been a fan of British movies and telly, so even though I knew about the series as early as elementary, I find it weird that it is just now that I got hooked to Dr. Who. The series has been going on for ages, even before I was born. For those of you who are not familiar with this UK pop culture icon, "The Doctor" is a humanoid alien, the last of the time lords' kind. He travels through time and space saving the whole universe. The series has been the longest running sci-fi show in the history of telly. The show has been running for so long, that the current Doctor, Matt Smith, is the 11th ever since the series has started. The writers made the story in such a way that the doctor, when he faces an insurmountable peril, gathers his strength and changes his looks and personality altogether, he would still retain all of his experiences...in a new, and younger body, rendering him immortal. The Doctor combats aliens, robots, and creatures of different kinds to save the universe...and I think I already mentioned that. He, and together with (a) companion(s) travel using the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension(s) in Space). People have been very critical of the youngest doctor to date, but being a new fan, without any basis of comparison, I find him perfect for the character.

My family has always been different from others. Parents would probably tell their children fairy tales as bedtime stories. My experience is different. My mom and dad would read to me Little Women, Les Miserables, To Kill a Mockingbird, and The Hound of the Baskervilles
when I was young.

I had always loved Sherlock Holmes. I have read the entire collection about 5 times, and I never get tired of it. Whenever I chance upon an SH series (or the recently released movie starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law), I immediately have to watch it.
This latest BBC series, Sherlock living in the 21st century, is a refreshing twist. Imagine the brains and wit of Sherlock, aided with iPhone, and internet. Benedict Cumberbatch plays the role of the sociopath Sherlock, together with Martin Freeman as the retired army doctor, Dr. Watson (I'm so glad they stopped portraying his character as a fat, teddy bear, as depicted by Dr. Dawson from the Sherlock-inspired Disney cartoon, The Great Mouse Detective). The series however, leaves everybody hanging as there are only 3 episodes, mainly because Steve Moffat, the same producer of Dr. Who is still very busy with the latter. He however promised that we will be seeing more of the world's only consulting detective with his psychosomatically limp colleague.

When the dog bites, and the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember my favorite things and then I don't feel so sad.

As sudden and as disjointed as I started this, I also abruptly end this. Good night everyone. Happy extended week end to all.
