What's Your Favorite TV Series?











1. Desperate Housewives
On a sunny day, in the heart of America, the loveliest of suburbs, housewife Mary Alice Young (Brenda Strong) kills herself. Now she takes us into the lives of her friends, family and neighbors... Her circle of girlfriends on Wisteria Lane includes Bree Hodge (Marcia Cross), Martha Stewart on steroids, who battles the demons of alcoholism and vengeful children...and now a new husband with a mysterious past to go with it all; Lynette Scavo (Felicity Huffman), who struggles with balancing the complications of work and family issues; Susan Mayer (Teri Hatcher), the divorcee and single mom who will go to extraordinary lengths for love; Gabrielle Solis, the divorced ex-model with a big house...and doesn't know what to do now; and serial divorcee Edie Britt (Nicollette Sheridan), the free spirited real estate maven whose love life has everyone buzzing.
Then there are the men: Mike Delfino (James Denton), a plumber who is the on-again/off- again love of Susan's life; Lynette's adorable husband, Tom (Doug Savant), who, it's turning out, has his own share of secrets, Gabrielle's estranged husband, Carlos (Ricardo Antonio Chavira), Mary Alice’s widowed husband, Paul (Mark Moses), who is in prison for the murder of a neighbor. Joining the group are Bree's new husband, Orson Hodge (Kyle MacLachlan) who ran Mike over and put him in a coma and Austin Britt (Josh Henderson), Edie's barely legal nephew, who shares his aunt's knack for stirring up trouble.
From her unique vantage point, Mary Alice sees more now than she ever did alive, and she’s planning to share all the delicious secrets that hide behind every neighbor’s closed door in this seemingly perfect American suburb.
“Desperate Housewives” stars Marcia Cross as Bree Van De Kamp, Felicity Huffman as Lynette Scavo, Teri Hatcher as Susan Mayer, Eva Longoria as Gabrielle Solis, Nicollette Sheridan as Edie Britt, Brenda Strong as Mary Alice Young, Ricardo Antonio Chavira as Carlos Solis, James Denton as Mike Delfino, Doug Savant as Tom Scavo, Mark Moses as Paul Young, Steven Culp as Rex Van De Kamp in season 1, Richard Burgi as Karl Mayer in season 2, Roger Bart as George Williams in season 2, Alfre Woodard as Betty Applewhite in season 2, Andrea Bowen as Julie Mayer, Cody Kasch as Zach Young, Kyle MacLachlan as Orson Hodge, Shawn Pyfrom as Andrew Van De Kamp, Joy Lauren as Danielle Van De Kamp, Jesse Metcalfe as John Rowland in season 1, Mehcad Brooks as Matthew Applewhite in season 2 and Josh Henderson as Austin Britt in season 3.
2. House

Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it. Dealing with his own constant physical pain, he uses a cane that seems to punctuate his acerbic, brutally honest demeanor. While his behavior can border on antisocial, House is a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts have afforded him a great deal of respect. An infectious disease specialist, he's a brilliant diagnostician who loves the challenges of the medical puzzles he must solve in order to save lives.
3. CSI
CSI is an innovative, new type of crime drama because the characters use cutting-edge forensic tools to examine the evidence to solve the case. Rather than a 'whodunnit' cop show (investigating witnesses/suspects), CSI explores the 'howdunnit'. CSI has been the number one scripted series in the Neilsen ratings for four years running. CSI is now in its 7th amazing season.
4. The Simpson
5. 7th Heaven

Ruthie is also out of the house for the time being in Scotland on a student exchange program for the school semester.Despite most of the family being gone, Eric and Annie are still there for their daughter, Lucy (Beverley Mitchell) and husband Kevin (George Stults) as they cope with the lose of their twins after Lucy had a miscarriage earlier in the year.

Nonethelss, together or apart, the Camden family is connected always and forever as the heart of the true American family in 7th Heaven.

Emily Dickinson


Here are some of the works of my favorite poet, Emily Dickinson.

Part One: Life
XVI
TO fight aloud is very brave,
But gallanter, I know,
Who charge within the bosom,
The cavalry of woe.


Who win, and nations do not see,
Who fall, and none observe,
Whose dying eyes no country
Regards with patriot love.


We trust, in plumed procession,
For such the angels go,
Rank after rank, with even feet
And uniforms of snow.
Part Two: Nature
I
NATURE, the gentlest mother,
Impatient of no child,
The feeblest or the waywardest,-----
Her admonition mild


In forest and the hill
By traveller is heard,
Restraining rampant squirrel
Or too impetuous bird.


How fair her conversation,
A summer afternoon,-----
Her household, her assembly;
And when the sun goes down


Her voice among the aisles
Incites the timid prayer
Of the minutest cricket,
The most unworthy flower.


When all the children sleep
She turns as long away
As will suffice to light her lamps;
Then, bending from the sky,


With infinite affection
And infiniter care,
Her golden finger on her lip,
Wills silence everywhere.
Part Three: Love
XLIV
THERE is a word
Which bears a sword
Can pierce an armed man.
It hurls its barbed syllables,-----
At once is mut again.
But where it fell
The saved will tell
On patriotic day,
Some epauletted brother
Gave his breath away.


Whenever runs the breathless sun,
Wherever roams the day,
There is its noiseless onset,
There is its victory!
Behold the keenest marksman!
The most accomplished shot!
Time's sublimest target
Is a soul "forgot"!
Part Four: Time and Eternity
X
I DIED for beauty, but was scarce
Adjusted in the tomb,
When one who died for truth was lain
In an adjoining room.
He questioned softly why I failed?
"For beauty," I replied
"And I for truth,-----the two are one;
We brethren are," he said.
And so, as kinsmen met a night,
We talked between the rooms,
Until the moss had reached our lips,
And covered up our names.
Part Five: The Single Hound
IV
FAME is a fickle food
Upon a shifting plate,
Whose table once a Guest,
The second time, is set.
Whose crumbs the crows inspect,
And with ironic caw
Flap past it to the Farmer;s corn;
Men eat of it and die.

Movie Review:Autobots, Transform and Roll Out


The insterstellar battle between the Autobots and Decepticons rains destruction down on planet Earth as director Michael Bay adapts Hasbro and Takara's popular Transformers franchise into a big-budget, live-action summer tentpole extravaganza in this ambitious sci-fi action feature starring Shia LaBeouf, Tyrese Gibson, Bernie Mac, John Turturro, John Voight, and, of course, Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Book Review:Sophie Kinsella, Sophaholic


3 weeks night shift!!! Good thing sophie kinsella is entertaining me. What? you don't know who sophie kinsella is??? Well, she is the reason why I'm getting hook up reading books! From the time I held my hands with 'The Undomestic Goddess', damn, can't take my hands off that book. It's full of humor, very funny... It's a story of a lawyer who became a housekeeper. Wow! twist of fate! Samantha (the lawyer) did something stupid which cause her job. Then she run away from reality and end up being in a strange place. Hmmmmmm... if I can recall, she end up being in London. Meet the Geiger's and end up being a housekeeper. She only ask some medicine and a glass of water from Mrs. Geiger cause she has a headache and she thought she was from the agency! Hired her as a housekeeper. Funny cause she doesn't know any household chores. She would buy food from the restaurant, and deliver them in the Geigers house pretending she cooked it. Sent out their laundries to Nichols. In the long run, she thought that this should come to an end cause 2 more weeks and she'll be bankcrupt. She told the Geiger's that she could not cook cause she doesn't know how to use the equiqments used in cooking. To her suprised, Mrs. Geiger told Mr. Geiger to change all the equipments in their house because Samantha is not used to those old modeled equipments. Wow! they even raised her salaray just so she won't leave them. I haven't finished the book yet but I'm in the chapter where Nathaniel (the gardener), introduced Samantha to her mum (Iris) to teach her how to cook...
This book is really interesting and funny! I suggest you grabe a copy of sophie kinsella's books =>
