The Vicious Cycle

Love. How much more does one have to be subjected to stories of love? When will love ever have guarantees? A promise that it will never fade no matter what. Just something for hopeless romantics to hold onto through the tests life constantly keeps throwing our way. So that everyone will, for the first time since the inception of time, be proud to be a victim of love. To smile whenever they are called fools for love.

Sometimes things take off on a high note. And at that level, you can't help but feel like a champion gladiator, fearless in the Great Arena. There is nothing you feel you can not conquer. Anybody who comes by with words of wisdom is a nothing but a creature green with envy. Yes, life is that good.

The world is at your feet. You are self-conceited with power of unimaginable nature and nothing could ever knock you off your high horse. Closer to the sun you soar and the fact that your wings are waxen, is just a distant memory. The warmth in your heart becomes an unbearable amount of heat. Of course, you're familiar with the phrase "If You Can't Take The Heat, Get Out Of The Kitchen". But then it's too late and you waned already. Diminished into a rubble of dirt only worthy of pity.

Pieces of you are scattered unevenly across the globe and every step in the journey of piling them together is a pain so excruciating that it wouldn't shock you if the process were to take a complete lifetime. And you continue to wane, still. You go to sleep at night with a heavy heart. Praying incessantly that in the morning, it will all be over. Only to have your entire night filled with nightmares of your agony. And when you wake, you take a deep breath, thank the Lord that it was all a dream....

And that's when it hits you again. Like a thousand bolts of lightning...you realise, it's not a dream. And it begins again. Day after day. Night after night. Until death, seems the only beauty on earth. The only sweet escape...

My Fav TV Shows

Entertainment. Yap! I thought we could use a break from all the serious stuff. After all, it's Xmas break and nobody wants to talk about school or work. I know I don't. So, this is from my perspective...but I'm pretty good at this so...you should definitely be on the lookout for:

-The Vampire Diaries
Of course, the show is on its 5th season. That should say much. It's awesome. And you got a lot of eyecandy in there. Vampires are hott. And that said, what are you waiting for?

-Devious Maids
These maids will rock you. Trust me, these Latinas will take you through their daily journeys of cleaning and looking after rich people's homes in Beverly Hills while they hide their own personal agendas. The fights between them and their daily bosses will keep you entertained. You need to watch this. Can't wait for the 2nd Season!

-Dracula
I know vampires are everywhere but this is about to take the whole vamp-thing to the next level. It's basically Alexandre Dumas' The Count Of Monte Cristo. Except the count here is a vampire. And it's epic. I love those settings that just take you back in time.

-Reign
Still on the epic tip, this is a story about Mary, the 15yo queen of Scotland. The English want her crown and country. To protect it, she must go to France and wed its next king. But there are a lot of obstacles along the way, including the fact that the queen of France will do anything to make sure the union doesn't come to pass. And the 9th episode is oh-so-heartwrenching.

-House Of Lies
On a business tip, Marty Kahn and his team of consultants will keep you coming back for more. This is one of the best shows ever. Trust me. It is funny, sexy, electrifying. This is a must-have.

-The Originals
It's a spin-off of The Vampire Diaries and no one wants to miss the story of The Originals. The impulsive Klaus and his brother Elijah and his sister Rebekah. The Mikhaelsons are not to be missed. And in my opinion, this show may be a spin-off but it's better that The Vampire Diaries.

-Witches Of East End
Everyone loves a bit of magic. And the storyline is quite intriguing. Don't trust anyone.

-DaVinci's Demons
We've all heard about the mad-genius that's is Leornado. He painted the Mona Lisa. He invented a lot of things and his story is nothing short of intrigue.

-Gossip Girl
Of course the show ended but it was one helluva ride. Set in Manhattan and circles around Serena and Blair, get ready to witness the hardships of friendship.

-Downton Abbey
What can I say? I'm a suCker for epics. And the drama in this one is EPIC! Set in the early 20th century, you are going to luuuuurv the british accent among many things.

Let the summa. Officially begin! YAY!
:( cus I'm only beginning my exams tomorrow.
