seasons

every weekday, since May, I religiously watch Bituing Walang Ningning on the internet. it lasted for months, 5 months to be specific. it became part of my routine. something to look forward to when i get home, something i set aside time for.

now that the series is over, i feel out of sync. i feel like i have more time in my hands. i feel like a dear friend left. i feel... sad.

all things must come to an end, tv series included. but unlike the other tv shows i'm a fan of, i know BWN will not have another season. unlike survivor, or amazing race, or american idol. the finality of it is what makes me sad. there's no way to revive a rivalry like that. obviously, i've seen the last of Lavinia's bitchy schemes to get to the top and stay there. i've seen the last of Oman's jealousy over Dorina's other suitor, and the last of their sweet moments together. what happens afterward is left to our imagination, if they got married, or separated.

in real life, i hate things that does not have finality. i don't like open-ended events or relationships. but for tv shows, somehow i just want them to keep going. i remember when Survivor-Guatemala ended, i've felt so attached to the characters. When the reunion was shown on tv, where they look clean and well-fed, they look like complete strangers to me. i was looking for the skinny, smelly-looking, sun-tanned Steph and Danni.

it's the same with BWN. when i saw sarah geronimo on Your Song, i don't feel as attached to her character there. i was looking for dorina. =P my thoughts will get worse when she gets paired with another guy other than carlo aquino. i will probably feel that sarah, or dorina, was being unfaithful!

and so i know it will be a while before i get this out of my system. i need a new tv show to get attached to! =P

speaking of new seasons, the weather is noticeably different lately. summer's gone, fall and winter is fast approaching.

last night, i was freezing while i walk from the building to the parking lot in my quarter-sleeved top and leg-hugging pants. every gust of wind sent shivers to my body. feeling ko maiihi ako sa lamig!

morning showers became a battle for me too. the switch at the bathroom is for the light AND the exhaust fan. whenever the fan is on, it sort of sucks up air from somewhere outside the bathroom. so even if i am having a hot shower and the steam should be warm enough, i still get cold because cold air still gets in. solution? i leave the light off, ergo, the fan also off. hehehe! i shower with alfredo's utility flashlight on the sink. a little dark, yes, but the 7-bulb LED sheds light like a bedside lamp. ok na rin, kesa naman manginig ako sa lamig!

pinagtatawanan ako ni je for my solution to the problem. well, until hindi nya pinaghihiwalay yung switch ng ilaw at fan, i will use his utility flashlight sa pagligo. =P
