the one with Lean on Me

Glee is so much fun to watch.  If you’d find yourself wallowing and whining about sadness and you need to be perked up, I recommend you to watch it 100%.

I really liked the ending of episode 10.  The last song is what I needed to be reminded of.

Just this week, there are nights that I felt like I’m lonely and sad.  I don’t usually get this feeling that much.  That’s why when I feel a little low; I select few sensible friends that I know I can talk to or listen to me as I whine and rant about things.

But unfortunately, I was disappointed.  More on myself than the person I tried to connect with.  I’ve put so much expectation and miscalculated everything.  I should have not put too much pressure on someone and should have listened to what he was saying.

I hate it when I have disagreements with those whom I treasure much.  I feel like I have failed them and I just like to feel awkward when I get to see them.  I hate having or putting gaps.  But what can I do these things happen. I just hope that I can rectify and make him realize that what I needed that time is someone who can just listen and respect that I deserve to have some lonely moments, too even if I’m perky and all.

I just want someone whom I can lean on and listen to me when I’m down.  Was it too much to ask?  I guess so.  Don’t get me wrong, I don’t discount friends if they don’t meet my expectations or needs.  I just want them to feel that sometimes I also feel sad and needy.  I just want them to see that there’s also the other side of me.

Anyway, hearing Lean on Me on Glee is like getting an assurance that I have friends who can do that to me.  At least, that’s what I try to believe in and I know I have them around me.

So here it is I’m sharing the clip from the show.  Enjoy!

 

the one with the winter song

I have been watching Brothers and Sisters for the past 4 seasons and I’m totally in love with the series.  I’d see to it that I’d watch it immediately as soon as I have the copy of the latest episode.  It makes me cry and it cracks me up as well.

The show is something that you can really relate with and you’d find yourself connected with the characters since all of us have family matters to deal with.

And in my case, I can see a big deal of myself in Sarah Walker.  Her personality, very strong-willed and would sacrifice her own happiness for the family.  She’s successful and the provider.  She’s the woman of today and she knows what she needs and wants.

And in the latest episode “Wine Party”, Sarah finds herself asking Luc what they are and where the relationship is going.  She’s tired from always being the one in command and taking responsibility and happiness isn’t enough for her to continue on.  She’s asking for more and I think as she should be.

Lately, I found myself in the same road.  You see, I was misinterpreted and it turned out everything slipped away.  It was turning out to be good at the start but I can’t seem to be contented with what I have.  This time I want to be taken care of.  I want someone who can lead me and all I’d do is follow.  I want it to be real.

Well, my story is actually more complicated but one thing that I share with Sarah is I know what I want and I know what’s good for me.  And I don’t want to continue on something that I might be sorry for later on.

I’d rather lose it right now than lose myself in the long run.

I’m sharing the video clip from the show where Sarah found out that Luc is breaking it off.  The scene coupled with the song “Winter Song” by Sara Bareilles featuring Ingrid Michaelson struck me directly and piercing me in my heart.

It made me think if like Sarah have I make the right choice?  But then again, I know I did.  Anyway, here are the links of the videos.  Enjoy!

Winter Song

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon,
It rolls in from the sea

My voice; a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light,
To carry you to me.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love

They say that things just cannot grow
Beneath the winter snow,
Or so I have been told.

They say were buried far,
Just like a distant star
I simply cannot hold.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause you’re not where you belong;
Inside my arms.

Bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum
Bum bum bum bum bum bum

I still believe in summer days.
The seasons always change
and life will find a way.

Ill be your harvester of light
and send it out tonight
so we can start again.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

This is my winter song.
December never felt so wrong,
Cause you’re not where you belong;
Inside my arms.

This is my winter song to you.
The storm is coming soon
It rolls in from the sea.

My love a beacon in the night.
My words will be your light
To carry you to me.

Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?
Is love alive?

 

the one with Glee

If you are having a bad day and you’re tired of singing Daniel Powter’s Bad Day, I am recommending you this show.  Glee is one hell of fun and hilarious show.

From one character to another, you’d surely go crazy over them.

I love the demented characters of course.  First there is Sue, who’s so jaded and wants to be the center of attention.  And of course, there’s Will’s wife Terri who’s selfish and self-centered and Emma who’s almost mistaken as insane for being too obsessive.

But that’s just the start of the countless reasons why you’ll get addicted to it.

The casts’ talents would really be the major reason.  The ensemble’s showmanship in terms of dance, song and delivery is really superb.

Words wouldn’t be enough to describe how good this show is.  Just picture this, I was supposed to do some work this week end but I wasn’t able to do this because I can’t seem to stop watching it.

Anyway, I liked Puck’s performance of the song Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, let’s say that I just didn’t expect that he has a good voice and I find it sexy.  So, I’m just sharing this link.

Again, if you are in need of happy thoughts and temporary fix for happiness, Glee is a must-see show.

Where it began, I can’t begin to know when
But then I know it’s growing strong
Oh, wasn’t the spring, whooo
And spring became the summer
Who’d believe you’d come along

Hands, touching hands, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
I’ve been inclined to believe it never would

And now I, I look at the night, whooo
And it don’t seem so lonely
We fill it up with only two, oh
And when I hurt
Hurting runs off my shoulder
How can I hurt when holding you

Oh, one, touching one, reaching out
Touching me, touching you
Oh, sweet Caroline
Good times never seem so good
Oh I’ve been inclined to believe it never would

Ohhh, sweet Caroline, good times never seem so good

 

the one with Almost Normal

The Brothers & Sisters’ Season 4 Episode 3 entitled Almost Normal really made me cry.  This is what I love with this show, it helps me clear my tear ducts and it can also make me laugh on top of my lungs.

Kitty finally told the family that she has cancer in this episode.  I really have to say that this show is blessed with a very amazing ensemble.  You can see the actors’ true emotion and you’ll totally feel for them.  My favorite part is the last 4 minutes of the episode.  (And as customary for me, I’d share it of course with you).  And, every time I replay the part, I still find myself crying.  The support of her family and their determination to fight the disease was really overwhelming.  Nothing beats the presence of loved ones during a situation like this.  Who wouldn’t brace a storm with a support as robust as that?  And Sarah’s arrival and as she hug Kitty made me cry over and over coupled with the lyrics from the song “Have a Little Faith”.

♪ Just have a little faith in me

Uh huh

I’ll have a little faith in you

So have a little faith in me

Don’t let it go

Don’t let it go

Don’t let it go

Don’t let it go

Don’t let it go

Just be strong for me

I’ll be strong for you ♪

I guess what really made me cry is I can totally relate to it.  Over a week ago, I’ve just found myself considering flying to the US this coming Christmas vacation.  All for the reason that I want to see my sister.  You see there are times in our lives that the touch of someone gives us comfort and assurance that everything will be alright.  And I needed that last week.  How I wish I can just go there within a snap of my fingers but unfortunately I can’t.  I just miss her so much.

As promised, I am sharing the last 4 minutes of the episode from Brothers and Sisters.  I hope you’ll like it and if you have the chance to watch the whole show, I’m sure you’ll totally like it.  I’m also sharing Michael Franti’s “Have a Little Faith”.

 

the one with ellen

I am a TV buff more than a movie or a book buff.  When I was a little younger, I used to watch a lot of series and will actually refuse to meet up with friends just so I can follow certain shows.  For example, back in college I would go home to our province (Cavite) just so I can watch Friends.  When I started working, I would never attend any gatherings that will stop me from watching it.

 

Anyway, I think I have already establish how I addicted I am before with television but fortunately not as much as today.

 

Watching Ellen DeGeneres really cracks me up.  I really find her humor very witty.  There’s this one episode when she tried to learn Spanish that really made my day.  I looked for the video but this is the closest I’ve got.

 

And my latest favorite is the Bathroom Concert Series from the show.  I have included two favorite links.  Hope you’ll enjoy this!
