Showmance!

Been a while! Haha I knew from the start I wouldn't be able to maintain this on a daily basis even if I wanted to, but here I am, trying again!

Actually, I just wanted to say that the second episode of Glee is amazing! It totally lived up to my expectations. I was already having goosebumps from the first 20 seconds. Hahaha!

And because I don't wanna spoil it for you guys, I'll just post here where you can download it, especially for people not living in the continental US.

For torrent users, you can download it in isoHunt. My friend asked me to upload it in MegaUpload as well.

Enjoy!

Glee

So my promise of writing an entry every day got broken. Haha. I knew this moment would come, I just didn't expect it to be this soon. Anyway, I will try again to write at least every other day.

So what's in store for us today? Only my favorite musical show, Glee!

So what is Glee? Glee, according to Mr. Webster, "is about opening yourself up to joy." That's actually a line from the first episode. Haha.

Glee is about a school's resurrection of the glee club, spearheaded by their Spanish-teacher-turned-glee-club-advisor Mr. Will Schuester, who, as it turns out, was a member of the school's glee club back in the 90s, during which the club was at it's peak, golden age you might say. When the glee club advisor was replaced, it went downhill from there, until the replacement was fired because of an incident I won't say (lol), which brings us back to the first sentence.

And I'm gonna stop there because I'd end up spoiling the whole thing for you! Unfortunately, there's only one episode of it so far. This was a promotional episode aired last March I think? The whole series will start on September 2009.

What I like about Glee is it's not that type of musical wherein out of nowhere, people just sing and dance. Well, I don't know if it will be like that on the next episodes, and honestly, I wouldn't mind, because I love this show so much just from the first episode. You can probably say that it's a modern version of classic musicals.

The characters are very likeable too. I really like Rachel's character. At first I hated her, she had this attitude that I really don't like. But then people started getting mean to her, and my heart just went out to her. Haha I know it sounds corny, but that's what happened. Plus she has an amazing voice! Quinn Fabray, oh how I love her! I always love the antagonists. Hahaha! Can't wait to see how her character turns out in future episodes.

Glee has the right amount of humor, right amount of drama, and an insane amount of music that you just can't stop loving! The cast's version of Don't Stop Believing is superb! I listened to it for days after I saw/heard it from the show.

Here are some of my favorite/funny lines from the first episode:

"Is she gonna diva out after every rehearsal?" - Kurt (Chris Colfer)

"Nowadays, being anonymous is worse than being poor." - Rachel (Lea Michele)

"Getting ready for the tranny prom Rachel?" - Quinn (Dianna Agron)

Those are just a few of my favorites, and it's only the first episode! So it'll be veryyyyyy easy for you guys to catch up! You can watch the pilot episode here. Unfortunately, that link is only available for viewers in the US. But anyway, there's always YouTube :)

You can learn more about Glee here and here.

Go go watch Glee!

Brothers & Sisters

Brothers & Sisters is a TV series by ABC which premiered on 2006. It is about the Walker family, and how they cope with the problems that come their way.

What I like most about this series is how diverse the characters are. You might think that coming from the same family, they probably are the same; their values, their personalities. But they are totally different from one another, and none of them is perfect. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, which makes them very likable for me. I don't really like shows where a character is portrayed as this perfect, goody-two-shoes that doesn't commit mistakes and all that. I like B&S because it portrays the characters as they are: human.

It also evokes a lot of emotions. One minute you're laughing, the next, you wanna throw the remote control at the TV because of Holly! For me, a movie or a song or a TV show is good if it makes you feel all possible humanly (?) feelings.

Season 3 finished last May 10, 2009. It is renewed for another season, which will start (hopefully) on September 2009. You still have time to catch up :) It's so easy to watch, I was able to marathon season 1 in like 2 or 3 days :)

I have to warn you though, there are times that the episode is so heartwrenching. I counted the number of times that I shed a tear or cried my heart out, I think it's around 8 or 9 for season 1 (23 episodes). That's a lot, I think.

Anyway, I really really recommend this show. I'll probably do a more in-depth review of the series and the characters, but for now, this is it, and I hope this is enough to entice you ;)
