Some of the awesomest shows of all time.

1. Glee

--Quinn's baby is finally born, Idina Menzel is in the show, and Sue Sylvester just can't stop being funny. What's more, New Directions gets to have another year to perform. I just can't wait for season 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More lady gaga please.

2. Keeping up with the Kardashians
-- such a guilty pleasure. I cant help but be in love with the Kardashian sisters beauty, style and humor. Most people say that reality shows are nonsense but their close family relationships may even be more ideal than ours. So don't judge and hate them just because they are beautiful, rich and famous.

3. Wipeout
-- I am always LOL when I see those "big, red balls". Contestants cant help but fall for them.

Good times.. good times..

4. Mad Men
-- this hit drama series has won multiple awards already. I guess most Filipinos don't know about the show but it is lovely to watch especially when you're a person who likes learning about historical settings. Set in the early 1960's, it shows the common stereotypes in the era such as chauvinism especially in the workplace, lack of environmental concern, and smoking.. too much smoking! As in like in every scene, almost all the characters smoke.

I know ladies would love it too because the fashion and the costumes are wonderfully recreated. Plus, all the men and women are classy and glamorous. I hope you get to see this powerhouse of a show.

5. So You Think You Can Dance
-- the only talent show I truly believe in. All the judges have a dancing history, unlike American Idol who just gets some of their judges from who knows where. Every single contestant is oozing with talent and it makes TV audiences appreciate other dance genres, not just hip hop. If you're a big fan of Glee, you'd be happy to know that Heather Morrison (Brittany) entered the show only falling short of the top 20 finalists.

How about you, have you got any favorites from the tube lately?

I know, reading doesn't keep up with the image of a superhero but i do love to bury my head in a book most of the time. I'm big on bargain book hunting and my novels keep piling up cause I keep on buying and collecting even if i still have a lot of unread ones stacked on my small shelf. I'm sure most booklovers can relate. So now, I sell some of them in my multiply site. (The website is still in the works, my apologies)

Anyway, here's a TAG I copied and posted. I hope readers out there would participate and share their favorites, too.

TOTAL BOOKS READ FROM THIS MEME: 30 (!)

Some of my friends say , I read too much. I don't care. Reading takes me to other worlds and makes me learn about cultures and histories that are foreign to me. I'm not the type though who'd post quotes from a book in their statuses or blogs. When reading, I try to understand the author's style and overall beauty and impact of the novel. Based on impact, my favorites are Atonement, The Kiterunner and The Da Vinci Code.

My Big Mistake

Anyways, I guess the biggest mistake I did because of reading was when my friends came over at my house and I didn't get out of my bedroom because I was so engrossed with a book. They didn't come over anymore after that. We're still friends but I guess they were offended because I ditched them for a book. Heck, I cant even remember the name of the book or it's story. It's now that I realized that that was really wrong and stupid. Lesson learned.

Okay, now, it's your turn to share about the books you love, too. Am I a record holder with my total of 30 ?
