Pilot
Pilot
Jika Anda adalah penggemar serial barat, dari negara Amerika Serikat terutama, Anda pasti familiar dengan kata PILOT. Pilot merupakan istilah lain dari "episode pertama season pertama" sebuah serial barat. Awalnya, saya memperhatikan hal ini lewat serial favorit saya, Lost. Pada saat itu saya masih menggunakan DVD bajakan sebagai sarana untuk menonton serial kesukaan. Karena DVD bajakan itu sudah merupakan adaptasi dari DVD original, maka memang tampilannya menyerupai aslinya, ada bonus features, dan setiap episode diberi judul.

Awalnya saya mengira Pilot merupakan judul dari episode pertama serial Lost. Hal ini tidak mengherankan, sebab kebetulan atau bukan, episode Lost pertama yang membuat syok adalah scene pilot Oceanic 815 dimakan oleh hewan di hutan. Sekedar intermezzo saja, pilot itu adalah Greg Grunberg yang merupakan karib dari J.J. Abrams, Anda akan menemui Grunberg main sebagai Office Matt Parkman dalam serial Heroes. Namun, ketika menyadari hal yang sama pada serial Desperate Housewives, saya mulai sadar bahwa episode perdana serial barat di sana dinamakan PILOT. Hal ini terjadi ketika saya menonton serial-serial lain, seperti Grey's Anatomy, Brothers and Sisters, Prison Break, Ugly Betty, Heroes, Gossip Girl, CSI NY, House MD, hingga yang terbaru Fringe dan 30 Rock.

My Choices
Bagi saya, episode perdana atau PILOT ini merupakan jalan yang paling awal untuk menarik perhatian saya untuk memilih melanjutkan menonton serial atau tidak. Hebatnya, percaya atau tidak saya melanjutkan hampir semua serial yang sudah saya tonton PILOT nya. Yah, paling tidak walau saya tak dapat menonton keseluruhan episode dari seluruh season, saya tetap setia mengikuti jika serian tersebut main di channel TV kabel saya. Kebanyakan saya bahkan mengoleksi seluruh season dan menontonnya dengan setia. Sebut saja Desperate Housewives, Lost, Heroes, Brothers and Sisters, dan Heroes. Sementara serial lain seperti Prison Break, Ugly Betty, dan Gossip Girl memang saya rehatkan sebab jalan ceritanya makin lama makin tidak menyenangkan bagi saya. Walau saya tetap berpendapat Ugly Betty adalah serial yang patut saya tonton selanjutnya.

Serial seperti House MD dan CSI NY, saya ikuti dengan menonton di AXN, channel di Indovision di rumah. Sedangkan CSI Miami, 90210, Supernatural, Ghost Whisperer, Private Practice bagi saya kalah menarik dengan daftar tonton saya yang lain. Sehingga sehabis menonton salah satu episode, saya tak pernah menontonnya kembali. Sekarang, saya menambah daftar tontonan baru untuk hal-hal yang disebut sinetron di Indonesia ini. Saya membeli Fringe, True Blood, Damages, Mad Men, dan 30 Rock. Hingga saat ini saya sudah menyentuh Fringe dan 30 Rock. Kombinasi yang cukup menarik! Fringe adalah serial yang dapat membuat otak lelah dan 30 Rock adalah serial ngocol yang bisa menjadi alternatif jika stres.

It Forces Us!
Berbekal referensi yang baik, yaitu daftar nominasi Golden Globe Awards atau Emmy Awards serta beberapa website luar negeri, saya cukup puas menonton serial-serial dan seringkali terkagum-kagum dengan PILOT yang berhasil mengundang decak kagum, baik penonton luar negeri maupun saya. Kemudian mempersuasi audiens untuk menonton episode berikutnya, bahkan mengundang mereka untuk tidak melewatkan jam tayang serial tersebut di televisi.

My Life and My Only Dreams
Pilihan-pilihan itu seringkali terlalu banyak dan berdesakan dalam pikiran saya. Namun, merupakan salah satu hal yang dapat membuat saya belajar banyak. Banyak pelajaran hidup, nilai-nilai, dan hal-hal hingga bahasa baru yang saya dapatkan berbekal melihat serial televisi. Memang terdengar simpel dan membosankan, bahkan bisa-bisa dikira pekerjaan orang malas. Namun, saya pikir ketergantungan saya terhadap mereka (ya sekarang menonton serial barat seperti candu dan menenangkan hati saya, guilty pleasure), baik juga terkadang.

Ketidakmampuan saya untuk mobile seringkali membuat saya tertinggal film keluaran terbaru, tetapi serial televisi menjadi cara baru bagi saya untuk belajar dan memahami sesuatu yang saya pikir, berbeda. Berbagai genre dan tema unik yang saya pilih, bisa jadi merupakan kosa kata baru bagi kehidupan saya. Bahkan saat ini kecintaan itu berubah menjadi mimpi, atau kalau boleh saya ingin menyebutnya sebagai harapan baru. Ya, saya harap saya bisa menjadi seorang penulis naskah untuk serial barat. Ya! Barat lho, bukan Indonesia. Sehingga mungkin suatu saat nanti saya bisa membagikan sesuatu buat orang lain, seperti ketika saya dihidupkan kembali oleh para creator dengan cerita fiksi yang hanya dapat saya pandangi di layar komputer saya. Sayang, ya!


PS: lagi kesurupan pingin nulis artikel, walau tidak diperiksa lagi pembagian sub judulnya serta bagian dalam (kecuali kata2 bukan indonesia dimiringkan aja).

What A Difference A Day Makes
Meredith: Alex.
Alex: Bailey says Shepherd found another tumor, in Izzie's brain. Did you hear?
Meredith: I heard.
Alex: I just...
Meredith: Alex.
Alex: He doesn't think he's gonna get it out this time. I think... (crying) I think she's gonna die on me. I think she's really gonna die. Ugh! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be getting ready for a wedding?
Meredith: Well, that's what I came to talk to you about.

Wedding of the year:
Alexander Michael Karev and Isobel Katherine Stevens




Minister: Dearly beloved. We are gathered here today to celebrate the wedding of Alexander Michael Karev and Isobel Katherine Stevens. This is a sacred right. An ancient right. As Isobel and Alex prepare to join their lives, it is important to understand that everyone present has played a part in shaping their lives. And, will continue to play a vital role in their continuing future. And thus, we are here not only to witness their vows to each other, but to bestow upon them our blessing. And, now the couple will read their vows.
Izzie: Oh, we didn't write anything.
Alex: No, wait. I have something I wanna say. Today's the day my life begins. All my life I've been just me. Just a smart mouth kid. Today I become a man. Today I become a husband. Today I become accountable to someone other than myself. Today I become accountable to you. To our future. To all the possibilities that a marriage has to offer. Together, no matter what happens, I'll be ready. For anything. For everything. To take on life, to take on love. To take on possibility and responsibility. Today Izzie Stevens, our life together begins. And I for one can't wait.
Izzie: I love you. (kisses him)
Minister: Ahem, not yet!
Alex: Hurry up!
Minister: By the power vested in me, by god and the state of Washington, I now pronounce you husband and wife.
Izzie: Now?
Minister: Now.
(Izzie and Alex kiss)
Izzie: Oh Mer, I don't... I don't even know how to... I... thank you.
Meredith: (tears up) Ok, so whose the maid of honor? Me or Cristina?
Izzie: Cristina. Alex, he needs a best man... and he was asking for you.
Meredith: (laughs, trying to hold back the tears) Haha.
Cristina: Oh, so what? I'm leftovers?
Izzie: You tried to save my life. That makes you honorable.
Izzie: You never know the biggest day of your life is the biggest day. Not until it's happening. You don't recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you're right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there's not enough time, because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days. You know?
Denny: I bet you ... you made a beautiful bride.
Izzie: It was a beautiful day.
Alex: Come on. (takes out her hair piece, and some hair comes with it. Izzie touches and pulls more out) Hey, hey, it's okay. It's just hair, you don't need it.
Izzie: It's just gonna keep falling out.
Alex: We'll shave it off. I bet you'd look good bald anyway. Ok? (Izzie starts crying) Hey, stop. You're beautiful. (Alex kisses her)

The Arrival
So, today I was so exhausted as always.
I decided to open up so-called-long-time-friend after school -< TV series
It is a new series called FRINGE (2008)


So, here I'm so gonna share you few things that I noticed and some information that I seek before.

Who?
Fringe is a 2008 series created by J.J. Abrams, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.
You might recognize that Abrams is also the creator of one of my favorite series, LOST and Jennifer Garner's ALIAS.
Starring Dawson Creek's Joshua Jackson (Peter Bishop), Anna Torv (Olivia Duhnham), J
ohn Noble (Walter Bishop), etc.

What?
Fringe is all about a FBI division based in Boston.
Fringe investigates strange cases and probably be called "above top secret" cases. Fans said that it is a mixed-up of LOST and The X-Files

How?
Fringe's team which is the regular cast and the very main cast gather together to solved the cases.

Why?
Why did I choose Fringe? Well, it is simple. I love American TV Series and I get addicted to it and it is definitely one of my guilty pleasures besides eating and sleeping... So this is one more way to get rid of all things that burden me before..

However, Fringe is new, fresh, smart, unique, unusual and not as famous as HEROES or even GOSSIP GIRL, I guess.

When we talked about the positives, there will always thing which we don't like.
Fringe shows a undeniably gross moving images and stand still pictures, such as person with transparent skin so that you could see his organs inside, or serial killer who does incision on the victim's mouth, or when the victim's eye ball is taken off by the doctor...

Suggestions if you wanna watch:
  • Don't eat while watching! House, CSI, Grey's has much better portraiture even in their most nasty scenes
  • Turn down the volume
  • Don't look closely
  • If you seek for charming/pretty/hot stars, you won't find it here
  • Don't watch it unless you like smart and boring talks among scientists and FBI agents
  • This is not a yay! series and pretty series like Desperate Housewives and the horrible Gossip Girl! So after watch a few episodes you should take a break
  • Don't suggest your friends to watch this

Come Together
It reminds me of Season 5 with 3 GUYS and a girl.... But still cannot be compared to previous seasons...

Adam Lambert - Whole Lotta Love -> spt biasa teriak2 tinggi tapi okelah, dibilang best juga dari performance dia
Allison Iraheta - Cry Baby -> sebenarnya bagus, tapi terlalu monoton, lebih bagus I Don't Want To Miss A Thing nya

Duet: Kris Allen and Danny Gokey - Renegade (Chris Daughtry's top 4 performance which led him into bottom 2 and got voted off)-> Danny dibilang lebih oke sama Simon

Kris Allen - Come Together -> Dibilang gak seberapa bagus
Danny Gokey - Dream On -> Sama Simon dibilang nada terakhir2 kayak Friday the 13th... Sangat tidak cocok dengan suaranya
(Carly Smithson and Michael Johns song choices on last year's Beatles Week)

Adam Lambert and Allison Iraheta - Slowride -> duet yang jauh lebih baik daripada Kris/Danny. Tapi tetep Adam Lambert keliatan lebih bagus... Tipe suara rock semua, jadinya cocok...

Result Show besok akan ada CHRIS DAUGHTRY!!!!!!

WOW DEJAVU

And the bottom two is: DANNY GOKEY and ALLISON IRAHETA
VOTED OFF: Allison Iraheta

Uh Oh... Not good at all...

The Lie

Today, I feel like I should have a good relaxation.
Well, I was pretty exhausted the previous days
So I decided to watch my 'old-time-friend-called-tv-series'
I chose LOST
Because it has been my favorite series for over the years
I've been missing watching LOST
And so I opened up the case and I watched them on my computer

Well, I was watching LOST marathon
It's 8 episode for just a day!
Gosh!
And I am so freakin' happy as I could catch up the news that I have been following about LOST

About a quick recap, here we go:

CHARACTER UPDATES:
Jack
is sober now and he's menaging everyone else to go back to the island
Kate is confused at first, but she said wherever Jack goes, she will come with him. Ben was trying to steal Aaron from her...
Sawyer is still stranded on island and trapped in time travel. Ooh yeah, he thought time travel's a bitch! He's been with Juliet and kinda forgot Kate.
Juliet is comforting everyone else and she has moved into the white side, not grey
Sun is having Ji Yeon and leaving her to go back to the island
Hurley is pretty nuts as usual but he's getting better and I believed he got his craziness by his parents as well
Locke is DEAD and he's coming back. You must've remembered how he believed that miracle happened on the island.
Jin is not dead and his English is way better than before.
Sayid is on Ben's side and he's with other Oceanic Six - back on the island
Daniel Faraday Well, it's pretty clear that he's a mad scientist and it works but he's still can't save Charlotte
Desmond is already with Penny, having a baby girl and he's convinced by Faraday to look for his mother in Oxford
Charlotte can speak Korean and she's dead. Anyway, she spent her childhood on Dharma Initiative. Actually she has just remembered it now.
Miles is the second Sawyer-Hurley
Ben is still a crazy-creepy guy and he's the one who convinced all Oceanic Six for coming back to the island.

THE EIGHT EPISODES THAT I'VE WATCHED:
  1. Because You Left
  2. The Lie
  3. Jughead
  4. The Little Prince
  5. This Place Is Death
  6. 316

  9. Crashed
  10. Oceanic Six

Can I Have This Dance?
Good news for Meredith and Derek (of Grey's Anatomy) fans out there...
As we know, Mer-Der is going to have a lovely wedding!
So, tons of fans of GA has made tremendous jobs (including making blogs, sites, picture, countdown, and even gossips!).
And this is a blog that I found and so I share this for you...
dedicated to Mere-Der from fans
pretty sweet blog contains their love journey, remembering on-off relationship, even Izzie's blog (how sweet it is) and precious moments even SGH (Seattle Grace Hospital Guest Book)..
This is my favorite part of this blog...

SNEAK PEEK
- SGH Guest Book
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Hooray! You finally got engaged! You are going to have the most perfect wedding ever and I am so thrilled for you both! Best Wedding EVER! Xoxo”
--Izzie
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“I just want to say that I am so, so honored that you’ve asked me to be in the wedding. After all this time, you finally see me as a sister and… hold on… it’s really hard to type when you’re crying… I just… you know what? I’ll have to come back to this.”
-- Lexie
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Good luck and stuff. I’d say something else but all this wedding crap kind of skeeves me out. All I ask is that somebody buys Shepherd a box of cereal as a wedding gift. Dude keeps eating mine.”
--Alex
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“I love a wedding! The flowers, the lace, the vows…makes a girl swoon. Now if only the government would legally recognize a marriage between two girls… Not that this should take away from your happy day. Just saying… CONGRATS!”
--Arizona
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“I wasn’t gonna sign this thing. I mean, I signed the last one and look how that ended up. And now that I look at what I just wrote, I’m pretty sure it’s a bad idea to mention the groom’s first marriage in the guestbook for his second. Where’s the “go back” button on this thing?”
--Mark Sloan
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Okay. I’m back. And I’m not sure what else to say besides YAAAAAAAY. Go wedding! I can’t wait. Soooo excited. Really. Oooh, patient coding, gotta run. P.S. Could I put in an early request for the Electric Slide at the reception? Thanks.”
--Lexie
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Congrats! And we’re not just saying that cause your our bosses and we want to scrub in on the craniotomy you have scheduled this after noon. Although it’d be cool – to scrub in. Like, really cool.”
--Steve, Megan, & the soon-to-be new addition.
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Are you taking some time off for the honeymoon by any chance? Maybe… a lot of time off? I’m only asking because I kinda liked being the Chief’s neuro guy when you were off in the woods, so… Anyway. I would simply like to encourage you to take a honeymoon. A really long honeymoon.”
--Shadow Shepherd
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Hey. Me again. I was just talking to O’Malley (not by choice. I’m stuck in the pit with him today) and – what the hell? He says that you getting married means you’re kicking me and Iz out of the house? Is that true? Cause if so, not cool. Not Fricking Cool."
-- Alex
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Alex, they can’t kick us out. I have cancer.”
-- Izzie
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“It’s about time. I hope this doesn’t mean you two will turn into some old married couple that stays home and doesn’t hang out at dive bars anymore. I’d hate to lose you two as customers. You’re the only ones who pay your tabs.”
--Joe the Bartender
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“Free food, an open bar at the reception… I’m there! I mean, if I’m in invited. Cause I’d like to be. I’ll bring a nice gift. Or, as nice as I can afford on my salary. Please??”
--Intern Ryan
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“I didn’t know where else to go with this because you either aren’t getting my voice-mails or you’re simply choosing to ignore them, but – I really am pregnant, Derek. It’s yours. And I have a lawyer… HAHAHAHA. I swear, that never gets old. EVER.”
-- Nurse Rose
...........................................................................................................................................................................
““Mer, you couldn’t have found a better match. I am so happy for you. And to Dr. Shepherd, I just wanna say… take care of her. Cause if you don’t, you’ll have to answer to all of us.”
-- George
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“It’s about the hell TIME. Congratulations, you two
-- Bailey
...........................................................................................................................................................................
“This is great. Just… great. One of my top attendings marrying one of my top residents… Our very own Seattle Grace Wedding. I am as happy for you as I could be. And proud, of you both. Does my heart good.”
-- Richard
“P.S. And you’re welcome. For getting Meredith onto the right elevator.”

Impressive! Can't wait to see them both walking down the aisle!

Boom Boom Pow!
Ngomongin hal basi yang belom basi diomongkan
A century ago (berlebihan), beberapa minggu lalu,
kelasku Teknik Presentasi Berita, menampilkan adegan yang kurang layak untuk dipublish

Ya! Dalam acara PRESENTER PREKETEK
Kami semua sekelas mencoba untuk pertama kalinya
membaca berita
layaknya presenter berita news di tipi2
di video!

Lengkap kan sudah!
Yah, bagi yang suka dan yang bisa tentu saja menyenangkan
Tapi bagiku yang parno akan yang namanya berbicara di depan umum
tentu hal ini sudah bisa jadi membuat GLEGAR
seperti ekspresi Marty dan Alex di bawah ini


Namun, ternyata tak hanya sendiri!
Di kelas yang beraneka ragam ini
dapat ditemukan berbagai macam fauna! HAHAHA


ga ga ga
ngawir!

Maksudnya berbagai macam dan tipe cara presentasi berita
ada yang atek adegan ora ketok prompter sehingga mesti ndangak2
ada yang wajahnya lucu digae ndagel
ada yang wajahnya super datar
ada yang wajahnya tegang
ada yang salah take sampe bilang "SEK TA!!"
ada yang keserimpet baca
ada yang senyum2 dan menampilkan wajah peyot di akhir kalimat
ada yang pake acara kayak presenter INSERT SORE

Sudahlah, yang normal cuma seorang teman yang usut punya usut
sudah ikut LPBT (baca: Lomba Presenter Berita Televisi)
dan masuk semifinal
yang normal cuman seorang! HAHAHA....

Eniwei, kita selama sejam hasilnya cuman menertawakan diri sendiri
dan orang lain
HAHAHAHA...
Jadi presenter memang susah sekali!
Belom jadi reporter!
Hayoooo

Because You Left: Krammer vs. Krammer
Ted Kramer
Joanna Kramer

Billy Kramer
1979

"We built a life together.... If you destroy that, it may be irreparable. Joanna, don't do that, please."
We used to be a small happy family

In our dreams, we had a place for each other
In our hearts, we strive for our very best and we were there


8 years gone and we fell apart
and then you left without me noticing, without me knowing what is wrong, witho
ut me understanding that all this years you've been neglected and we were hurt
So this small happy family had turned into a little lame you and me

Our very own Billy, still a little creature

who lost us together, who will lose our moment that we shared together
and the day you went away was the beginning of our end

and because you left, he touched my life
and becau
se you left, you help me understand and my soul is saved
but because you left, his heart was not yet completed by yours


When he fell, I was there
and when he told his story, you've got nothing to say
and then suddenly you came and you changed your mind
You had no right to carry him home, because he's home, with
me
You mustn't intoxicate us with your brand new life



"We built a life together.... If you destroy that, it may be irreparable. Joanna, don't do that, please."
I didn't say you fail the most happiness time of your life, our life
We both fail

We both miss our togetherness
and I could never love again


But our son,
It tortures me if I hadn't had him for a while
but I know you'll feel it as well
So whatever happens I let you do, because I knew it would be the best pick
and whatever happens, I'd say "you're terrific!"

and you are


I'll remember you for him
I'll remember you for us both
and I did, I am, and I always will
and he did, he is, and he always will
and I hope you do too, I know you do

Hero
So, 12 American Idol contestants from top 36 semifinalists has battled out last night
Only a few of them who stood out
Yes, again I gotta tell you that American Idol has lost its magic..
At least until now...

These are the performances:
Tatiana Del Toro - Saving All My Love For You
Anoop Desai - Angel of Mine
Stevie Wright - You Belong With Me
Brent Keith - Hicktown
Jackie Tohn - A Little Less Conversation
Alexis Grace - Never Loved a Woman
Danny Gokey - Hero
Ricky Braddy - A Song For You
Michael Sarver - I Don't Want to Be
Ann Marie Boskovich - Natural Woman
Casey Carlson - Every Little Thing He Does Is Magic
Stephen Fowlwer - Rock With You
(random order)

Btw, my favorite performances on this night are Danny's "Hero", Anoop's "Angel of Mine", Alexis' "Never Loved a Woman", Ann Marie's "Natural Woman"...

Entertaining performance was Jackie's "A Little Less Conversation" because I wasn't expecting a girl singing Elvis' track...

The most surprising performance was the drama queen Tatiana with "Saving All My Love For You"

So my prediction goes with:
Girl: Alexis
Guy: Danny
All: Ricky

And those who made it are:
Alexis
Danny
Michael

DAMN!! My prediction went well!

Season 8 is more like a just-another-TV show to watch... To me, it seems previous Idol seasons has been wonderful and unforgettable, particularly season 2,4,5,6,7, which has made me addicted to them ever since... I've been supported for some previous Idols since they were auditioning, some of them on Hollywood Week . But this season no one has impressed me as much as before. I don't even remember some names.. Well, who knows this season will grow a lot better than it looks after seeing top 36 actually sing in front of judges and audiences!....

Currently supporting:
Danny Gokey
Matt Giraud
Michael Sarver
Scott Douglas MacIntyre
Kristen McNamara
(and still trying to remember some performances and names)

Slumdog Millionaire


.Love.Poverty.Dream.Crime.Life.Struggle.
Looking back to his past is as hurting as his life itself
Finding the third musketeer is the very best moment he has..
And spending every moment with her is just like tasting heaven on earth..
The very best feeling over money or fame...
Life he's experienced brings him just one step closer to love.
And eventually all the wounds and heartbroken will disappear, although it will not be forgotten.

Atonement




ATONEMENT:

Briony Tallis, a real brick..

She, who had the courage to witness.. But wasn’t brave enough to tell the truth..

She was just eleven and she was a child, who kept everything perfect in her own way.

The truth never came out until she’s old and dying.

But she does tell the truth, she admit, she apologize.

Nevertheless, all of her confession couldn’t change the destiny. Their destiny, her sister Cecilia as well as the lover, Robbie.

Make up the story, it is the only way that she could do to make penance. A tale of a couple who made it til the end, who find their own way to build love life until they grow old and die together.

All of her life she could beg, she could ask God to forgive her.

But she will never ever change their fate, she couldn’t bring them back together, since they’ve slipped away before knowing the truth.

Is it fair enough?

No, it wasn't, it isn’t, but it will be.

The truth seemed elusive at the first time they comes out. But soon they will be understood.

As long as she tells, admits, and says sorry. And it takes her whole life to write her atonement.

Brave New World part 2 (Alex Karev and Izzie Stevens)

Alex Karev absolutely one of the characters who grew up on this season ( a lot)... After Rebecca, his psychotic girlfriend, leaves him, he's kinda confuse to find. Where is the love and who? As flashes are going before his eyes, he couldn't think any better. And then come another lonely soul. It is her, Isobel Stevens. So his past is again interfering himself. So, it is true that true love will never go anywhere else, at least when she's just two rooms away... No matter what they called it, best friends or whatever.
Alex: Listen. You had that heart patient and it reminded you of Denny and how bad you felt when you were lying on that bathroom floor. I get that! I get that you're scared. But you're not going to have to feel like that again. Because I'm not going to die, Izz. And I'm not gonna cheat on you, and I'm not gonna go anywhere! 'Cause, I think you're my best shot at... I think with you... you make me better. You make me wanna BE better. You make me want to be good. And I think I can. With you. I think I can. So I'm not going anywhere, and you can stop hiding. And if you wanna be scared that's okay just be scared with me. Be scared while you scrub in with me on my first solo surgery. Okay?
Izzie: You love me.


And then she came, and then all doubts seemed to fade away. They knew it.

Izzie:
And I know you care about me too and it's not too late for us.
Alex: Get outta my room.
Izzie: Admit it. I know you care about me too I know you do. I care about you. I care about you. I care about you. I care about you. I care about you! I-


Well, at least it was before the old fiance came back from the dead...

Denny: I'm really starting to not like that guy.
Denny: Enough!

Sometimes A Fantasy
America's Next Top Model cycle 11

Just few hours ago, I switched on my TV and found that it was America's Next Top Model cycle 11, and it's MARATHON! Well, I got a bit late to watch them. There were down to five contestants and on the first time I see them, they were good actually! Nevertheless, I thought just three of them who stood out, by their personality and the fashion photographs as well. They're Samantha, McKey, and Analeigh.

Samantha
, the blonde with the bubbly personality took some of great pictures. She's damn bold and creative, trying some new fierce pose...

Then, Analeigh is a "commercial" pretty model who also took time enjoying herself in photoshoots. Sweet personality also has been her plus ..
Well, McKey is really tall and have the signature look on herself. She's also energetic and fun during the photoshoots.

I love three of them and it's pretty awkward seeing that top three doesn't have any fights, envy, jealousy, or so.

Previous cycles I had watched seriously display some rough time during top three. The tension were always been very huge for the contestants. But not in cycle 11. Wow! Ah-maze-ing! It is so hard choosing one of them to be the number one. They're all talented, not boring at all, fierce, model-esque (in every kind of way, fashion and commercial) and totally have a signature styles themselves . Although I already knew who wins exactly...

Finally, they chose McKey and Sam over Analeigh to be top two... The runway is not so glamorous, not so entertaining considering the past few seasons there were always have a surprise and not easy to be forgotten. Such as Naima-Kahlen, Nicole-Nik, CariDee-Melrose, Saleisha-Chantal, even Danielle- Joanie... Well, everything always has flaw themselves.

Top two doesn't stood out on runway walk... Boo! So, it is time to deliberate by only using the photos... Well, I'm glad McKey won! But I also feel great if Sam won. Both of them has done a tremendous job on this cycle.
