I LOVE THE FALL!


Do you know why I love the Fall? 

.. Because all my favorite shows come back with a big fat bang after the painfully long hiatus! 

The return of the Fall means Revenge, Homeland, The Vampire Diaries, Hart of Dixie.. and so much more.. Seriously, what would I do without you, you and you?? 

And what's even better? A lot more new series surface from the various TV networks to battle it out for better tv ratings. Well, it's not my war but I'm sitting back enjoying the show. On my watch list currently are: The Mob Doctor, Made in Jersey, Elementary, The new normal and 666 Park Avenue. 

I'll try to give my reviews as often as I can but god knows I forget faster than I watch. 



Everybody. been. anticipating. for. the. return. of. REVENGE. 

Simply because the finale of Season 1 was such a cliff hanger. Just when you think everything's over - with the plane crash and what not….. 

We return in Season 2 with the entire East Hamptons mourning over the death of Victoria Grayson. Honestly, will this bitch die? The answer: NEVERRRRRRR!! 

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT 

Anyway, I think this new season will be interesting to unfold Charlotte's character in the series. Is she still that bratty little daddy's girl? Will she join allies with Emily and take down the Graysons? The possibilities are endless! Last season Charlotte battled with drugs, her painful (for me) relationship with Declan (which I'm SURE will be rekindled somewhere along the pipeline) and also finding out that she's the love child of David Clarke and Victoria; made her kinda cray cray. I believe this season will be different for her. I can tell from my gut that Charlotte will only get stronger. With some help of course. Sisterly..help?



As painful as it is to watch (how the writers taunt us with their hooks and nooks…), I think there will be an interesting turn of events - I almost want to cheat and go to the last page to find out what happened! 

One of the many reasons why I think Revenge is very cleverly written is because they use the idea of 'Doubt' as the seed of evil. People say Hope is a very dangerous thing, it sure is but Doubt is what makes people do crazy things. 

I think in the next episode, the writers are going to plant a shocker. 

Meanwhile, hold tight and enjoy Fall. ;)

SYTYCD 2012 Episode 14 - Top 4


Wow feels like time really flies.... SYTYCD has reached its top 4 dancer and this week's episode was... MIND-BLOWING. 

Honestly, I'm glad I don't get to vote because of where I'm located because I really wouldn't know who to pick. Each of them has their unique style, have great personalities on stage and they DANCED their butts off this week!

Let's just get down to the deeds with my favourites.

Chehon & Alison - Contemporary 

This routine by Stacey Tookie has got to be my favourite of the night because of its story and mainly because of Chehon. I think I've never seen Chehon danced like this before. I don't mean that he danced poorly before this but in this routine I felt like he put in 200% and truly felt FREE. He looked as though he was having the time of his life and gave his all. A little background story of this routine: It's about a girl who has an opportunity to leave town and chase her dreams but in this pursuit she has to leave her partner. Her partner knows that she loves him and so does he but he chose to let her go, to let her have her dreams. It was definitely one of those.. defining moment for Chehon where the audience truly got to see what an amazing dancer he is and how much hard work he has put in to come so far. And I think Chehon and Cole come close in terms of skills but I don't think Cole would have been able to pull this off as well as Chehon if he was in the finale instead of Cyrus. #justsaying 

Tiffany and Will - Contemporary 

First and foremost, I didn't think this is my favourite Sonya Tayeh routine. It wasn't exactly spectacular or jaw-dropping. I enjoyed it mainly because Will and Tiffany has such great chemistry on stage which was always nice to watch because their performance looked believeable. Dance and Acting are the same, technically speaking. It require the skills to emote through your limbs and facial expressions. I enjoyed watching Will so much I wish he didn't have to get off the stage! He's such a smiley dancer. ;) 

Cyrus & Twitch - Animation/Dubstep 

But of course......... I'm certain that this routine blew everyone's mind! CHECK OUT THE OPENING when the glasses were smashed through as Cyrus and Twitch stepped out of their 'cubicle'. Uber cool! I like that SYTYCD always showcase different genres of dance to the home audience who aren't dancers or have never been exposed to such a thing. Season 9 opened our eyes to ballet and animation which was never done before. I don't think animation would have been first choice if NOT for Cyrus who first showed the world what it was. It's very... niche. Hah! 

I wasn't thrilled when Nigel has to be such a bummer to say he's not going to vote for Cyrus tonight because of personal reasons. Honestly, I didn't think anyone wanted to know. It was such a low moment for me I wished they cut it. Frankly, I'm not surprise if Cyrus wins because the voters are voting for "America's favourite boy/girl dancer". Nuff' said. 

Next week is results night - I won't be rooting for anyone because I like all 4 of them. I'm gonna just...... enjoy the show.

SYTYCD 2012 Episode 13 - Top 6


 This week's SYTYCD had some unexpected twists for the finale next week...... Wait let me catch my breath......

Before I share with you my favourite routines of this week, can I just say that Christina Applegate just annoys the SHIT out of me sometimes? Sometimes her puns are not funny and her cryptic comments make me cringe. Ok enough.

Eliana & Cole - Contemporary

I have to say I felt really strongly for this piece and Nigel Lythgoe put it exactly how I would have said it - When you love someone this much, on the opposite scale, you'd HATE that person just as much. Mia Michaels is a genius. I can't say I enjoy ALL her routines but this one really made a strong statement and I'd say this pairing was the right match for this piece because both of them exude the same kind of strength and ability to emote like a real actor. Both of them could possibly make it as actors if they ever want to be! 

Tiffany & Benji - Jive 

I think Jive is my favourite ballroom dance because it embodies fun and energy! To be honest with you - Tiffany didn't particularly stood out for me from the start of this competition. She's a great dancer but she just didn't sparkle as much as the rest. However this week she shined like a million, gazillion STARS! It's almost like a meteor garden.  (haha, I'm cringing at my bad pun) I enjoyed this routine so much because it's so fun and energetic to watch! Made me felt like I need to put on my dancing shoes and dance along. I absolutely adored it!

Witney & Marko - Lyrical Jazz 

First and foremost, I'M SO HAPPY MARKO IS BACKKKKKKK! I love him to bits. He's such a charming dancer. Each time he dances, he puts in so much heart and soul in it. Any girl is lucky to have him as a partner. With that said, I felt Marko carried Witney throughout this routine. I also liked the story behind this piece? It's about a couple at the altar and the girl is having second thoughts about getting hitched. Thought it was simple and cute and how it translate so beautifully through dance. 

Tiffany & Cyrus - Broadway

Wow so many great routines this week! I love this one a lot because it's so cheeky, cute and told an amazing story! I thought both of them make a great team, their energy level kinda feed off each other and it really translate it in dance terms very, very well. Both of them do cute SO effortlessly and it was so delicious on so many levels. And in this routine, you can really see that though Cyrus isn't as great as a dancer as Tiffany or compared to any of the male dancers on the show but he puts in 200% everytime he performs and he delivered it well. Love, love, love this one!

...... And there were the results. 

I expected Witney to go home simply because she just isn't getting much votes from America. When you know she was saved many times at the bottom 2 or 3 because she's a great dancer, you just KNOW she isn't going very far because the judges can only save her that many times. I'm definitely going to miss watching her dance because she's such a ball of fire on stage! 

AND OMG, I thought Cyrus was going home but he didn't!!!! Truth is, Cole is a WAY better dancer than Cyrus and there is alot of talk in the social sphere that Cyrus should have been the one to leave instead of Cole based on skills. HOWEVER, as Nigel Lythgoe has said it thousand times before....... this competition isn't just about talent and skills - it's also a popularity contest. And obviously, America loves Cyrus more than ultra, ultra talented Cole. (His mom's video to him made me cry, FYI!) 

Anyway this was such an exciting week - can't believe next Tuesday is the FINALE. We're going to have to wait till 2013 for the next season. BOOHOO. My guess for the win is Tiffany and Cyrus. I'm not entirely sure because feels like Chehon is winning votes every week - CAN'T WAIT.

SYTYCD 2012 Episode 12 - Top 8

Wow. Just.. Wow.

This week's SYTYCD was filled with surprises.

As most of you can tell, they've changed the format of the show slightly this year - not sure if it's for the better because the show feels really short - this year America will get to vote for their favorite GUY and GIRL dancer. Each week not one but TWO dancers get voted off the show. Phew. It always gets me there. *falls into an anxiety attack*

My favorite routines this week:

 Will & Lauren's Lyrical Hip Hop

First of all - the track is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. Christopher Scott has his hits and misses. Not all his routines made great impressions, to be honest.. however this one told a great story. It had great musicality, moves and a simple story - "Dance my pain away, I've got problems". I thought Will tried his bestest and show his serious side which was very charming. Sad that he had to go but I'm sure this is going to leave a good memory in people's minds. And HEY! If you like the track as much as I do.... here it is!

Dance my pain away - Wye Oak

 Cole & Alison's Contemporary

I don't think I can ever dislike a Sonya Tayeh routine. Like what the judges said..... SONYA YOU'RE A SICK, DEMENTED WOMAN AND I LOVE IT!!!!!! I think each week Cole's takes his dance and acting to the next level. He's such a chameleon - he can do almost anything. This week he is cast as a sadistic lover with no soul and heart, tormenting Alison who's desperately in love with the devil. What can I say? It took my breath away again. 

Last week's elimination was pretty predictable. George didn't make it because he just didn't have the star quality unlike the others who were still in the running. However THIS WEEK was quite a rollercoaster ride for most of them! I expected Chehon to be in the bottom 2 but he didn't! I'm guessing viewers are beginning to see his x-factor?? His charm?


AND OMGGGGGGGG I was so surprised to see Lindsay in the bottom 2 this week! And there she was, Witney at the bottom 2 AGAIN. You know I figured why she's there week by week. People are intimidated by her sensuality.. her sexiness.. sometimes it kinda makes her look slutty but HEY! She's a great dancer though and that is why..... she was saved. Can't be too sure if she's going to make it out next week but fingers crossed.


It's only going to get more exciting each week. Can't wait for next week's results! At this point, I can't seem to put my finger into who's going to win... probably by next week it will be clearer.

Whatever happened to 8 letters, 3 words & 1 fucking meaning?!

I don't know why I like to piss myself off like that..... Has anyone of you catch up on the latest season of Gossip girl?

I AM SO MAD PISSED WITH CHUCK (CB) BASS!! Ugh.



How can someone so hot be so fucked up? I don't mean like BAD ASS fucked up.. like fucked up fucked up!!! See, Chuck Bass got us so swooned over his mean streak and possibly the most bad ass playboy we've seen in awhile in TV Series History but what is happening? In Season 3, we started to see a changed Chuck Bass (ok, I can deal with that because you know, even the meanest person will change especially when love is the motivational factor) but at the end of the season, the writers left us on possibly the HIGHEST cliff (ever) with him devastatingly stabbed on the streets in Europe after letting down Blair by sleeping with Little J. So super aww right?

(Those of you who haven't managed to get the chance to watch the series, don't let me spoil it for you, I want you to feel the agony the writers put me through! STOP READING!)

(I know you're still reading...........)

While waiting for the new season to unveil itself, I was happy they brought in a new character Juliet starred by Katie Cassidy (I love this woman la! You have to watch Melrose Place 2009 to know how beautiful this woman is!) but seriously, what is Juliet's deal? Anyway, we'll get to that but what really annoyed me was Chuck BassTARD's character development was so poorly done that I'm yawning to tears everytime they switch the scene to see how in love he is with his ugly but kind french girlfriend (she is really ugly btw, no kidding) and what BAFFLES me was how can he put everything behind him so quickly and moved on? Hello, GG writers, you people were the ones who made us believe that Chuck and Blair were meant for each other and then out of a sudden you turn Chuck into this.. erm.. heartless guy who moved the fuck on after he let down the woman who has been there for him all these while? (I know it's hard to believe I'd describe Blair as such a person but she is) Seriously, wtf?

Logically, it doesn't make sense. Now Chuck is all out to ruin Blair's life just because she made his french girlfriend leave. If I really wanted to see Chuck and Blair fight each other's guts out, I'd rewatch Season 1. Dear GG writers, I am really annoyed to a point where I don't know where this season is taking me to. To be very frank, supporters of Chuck and Blair really only want to see them happy together and plotting against OTHER PEOPLE together not each other! At least that's what I want.

Oh and about Juliet, I'm not THAT annoyed with her yet because she's so pretty but I'd really stab myself to death if in the end she's some psycho killer back for revenge. I think we all got the latter part right but you know, what is everyone's deal with coming up against Serena?

This is an open angry fan letter to the GG writers, please wake the fuck up and write better scripts.

Thanks.
