Chandler:Pheebs,do you wanna help? Pheebs: How I wish I could but I don't want to! Rach: What's up with you? You don't seem to stop smiling! Mon: I just swallowed a hanger! Rach: Did someone saw my ring? Pheebs:Yeah! It's beautiful! (Rachel is refering to the lost wedding ring) agent: How do you spell your name? Phoebe: P as in Phoebe,H as in hobbie,O as in Obie,B as in Bobbie,I as in Indie,and e as in EEEE! Phoebe:Hi,we want to donate for the children foundation and we want it to be a secret donation .... Agent: It would be nice if we have name so we can include it in our newsletter Phoebe: Okay,then maybe we can say it came from Mr and Mrs X Phoebe Buffay! Monica: Why do you look so tired? Pheebs: So tired of dragging my engagement ring!!! REVIEWBasically,friends is just a general topic.They would just come up with a random topic each episode and the concept is really interesting and funny .They had been on the show for 10 years ! It's a story of 6 friends who live in Manhattan.Six people of very different personalities and profession but became very good friends on and off camera.I don't know how they were able to do it but one thing I'm sure of,they were so good that they made me obsessed and made me watched the cd many times! I don't personally have any experience being in a group of friends,living together or hanging out together so it could be one factor why I'm drawn to it.
Rachel is a rich spoiled one but she managed to move into the city and started her own life.Spoiled she maybe but she is sweet,funny and thoughtful.Nobody told her to do it but she made the right choices by the help and guidance of her friends.They were of good influence ,they watch each others' back.She faced life courageously until she find out what she really wanted.She flipped from unending dates and sometimes left out alone but in the end she realized that the man she truly loved is actually just in front of her.It was just clouded by immaturity and pride .That's what her relationship with Ross is like a flame,its off and on.She's also blinded by the stupid rules they set among themselves.She is my favorite among the characters because she seem natural in her acting.In fact,this made me hunt all Aniston's movies because I like her as a comedian. Ross on the other hand is someone who eyes for a matured serious relationship.He had 3 failed marriages and even have struggled to tell Rachel how much he loved her since 9th grade.Monica on the other hand was trying to be a kook and is claiming she is but still she can't be someone she's not. She's a very organized and very competitive person who won't just take no for an answer.That freaks out her friends.She would also never give in to defeat and also struggled in her love story only to find out she would end up with Chandler who is on the other hand is a man afraid of commitment but eventually fell love with Monica,he actually did things beyond his imagination. Phoebe who is the weirdest of the group who is a former hippie was as funny as she is.She is vegetarian and she don't want to be in a serious relationship not until she met Mike and got married.She makes sense most of the time despite the conflict in her character.She is the weirdest yet the funniest of all the characters portrayed.Lastly,we have an ultimate "chick boy" named Joey.He was the only unmarried guy at the end of the show.He plays dumb but he is sweet and very protective to his friends and Rachel was his first and only true love.Their relationship didn't last long coz it went weird so they decided to end up.So Joey had his whole life chasing women while he is working as a part time actor. Kinda happened in real life.After being popular as Joey,he never had any other show unlike Aniston,Cox and Kudrow.Seems that the girls made it to successful movies and continuous TV offers but the boys were not as successful as them. In reality,friends is far from reality but I'm glad they made it into a comedy that really made any viewer laugh hard.How I wish problems in life can be as laughable as it looks.Where in you can have friends who can share coffee with you everyday and is willing to encourage,protect and help you .True friends who can share their stuff with you,you can also eat all the food in their fridge and it's totally alright. It is fun! purely entertainment but I can't help but distracted with some realities that is projected all through out the show .America's culture and moral is going below zero when it comes to relationships,specially in sex and their commitment to marriage.It seems that 75% of those married couple ended in divorce.A normal American can see that as normal.They just go out,meet someone they admire,flirt and ended up in sex.Then the following day,that's the time they decide if they will now proceed to dating or courtship.What's exactly the essence of dating? to an American culture,If you graduate in high school as a virgin,it means that you're as ugly that no one desires to sleep with you.That's how they measure their social worth.I'm just glad I'm not American! One thing I love about their attitude though is how POSITIVE they are in facing all their fears and even if it means facing their stupidity.I mean they can be sad but they never spent the whole week crying and feeling sorry.In fact,when they go to work they acted normal as if nothing bad happened to them.On this show,sometimes they argue because of certain changes that surprised the other person. It just show that nothing is permanent.Change is our friend.People changes from time to time.Nothing is permanent.Somebody can be changed forever in a minute depending on what influenced him from time to time.It could be song that they just recently tune in,or a movie or an ad,a poster,slogan or an incident that convinces them to change.I mean the person can't be fixated to the way how we wanted them and that's what frustrates others sometimes that leads to misunderstanding and argument or even fight then the next time you knew,you lost a friend.When they change all of a sudden,it usually surprised us that we find it hard to accept and adjust so we end up holding on to past memories.We insist on remembering them based on how they were from the past and sometimes we refused to embraced changes. Life as we grow older has to be full of changes.It can't be stagnant.They become more complicated,funny or painful all the more.Your confusion right now maybe your tomorrows guiding light.we are in a changing environment and so everything must change from time to time.I remember what I read about Jennifer Aniston saying "don't make plans,just make choices." I find it true enough because at least when you fail in your plan,you're not a candidate of depression but you still have something to do.Be open to possibilities so when the moment comes,they won't hurt that much. Lesson? Be adjustable! be aware of the fact that everything on this earth is temporary.I'm actually talking to myself now and I feel so stupid now for being one of those who hang on to memories and hated to embrace the reality.I think of my friends who were there at my most difficult time,they are actually there when I needed them the most.I just didn't noticed it at first because I was too busy labeling them or expecting something different from them.There were also some friends who just passed real fast.I mean I don't want to dwell on my past and I don't want them to keep dragging me to the past but they were a sweet reminder of who I once was years ago.They just gave me a wonderful memory of who and what am before. Each day I meet a lot of people.Some I even make friends.Unaware,i make rules and those rules when bended pushes me to be hurt or be in pain.Some gone and some came.More likely,haven't heard of them anymore but I think of them as often as I do.It seems to me that i was the one always chasing them,preserving them and always who wanted to keep in touch.I feel like one desperate person trying to hang on hoping I will see them again.Well,its about time to say my goodbye to some unfortunate and unpleasant events that happened between the years of my existence.It's time to stop fixating on things that meant to be part of my past. I welcome 2011 and beyond and this time,i should be wiser.New life,new challenges,new experience and its time to grow up.... As of the moment,my friendship with these people that I newly treasured is one of the good things that I still hold on to right now.They are the reason why I keep going.They inspired me to appreciate work and to enjoy coming to work knowing that they'll be here and they always make me smile and happy inside.I have to convince myself though that sooner or later,things will change and i should be ready to accept it.There will be times for sure that they might not be the same as they are to me right now but I wish and hope they'll stay for the longest time. There are times that I foolishly demand attention or simply I'm selfish at times too.So I guess,from this day forward,I have to continuously remind myself that I have to be open to possibilities.It's all I've got to do is adjust,accept and live every moment.Don't be too sad on what's gone but don't be too sad on what is to come.Just live each moment and be thankful that I have friends like them till now. MY TV SERIES' OBSESSION 6/22 My obsession to watching tv series started when I saw Kristin Kruek's face on studio 23 while I'm bored and trying to figure out what to watch 2 years ago.I was stunned at her natural beauty and this show somehow interests me.However,I never had the chance to watch it on tv so when I saw a dvd copy of season 1 from the vendors at Ever Gotesco one late evening,I excitedly grab it and watched the same night.I super love it so I went to Philcoa to buy the rest of the cd's.My intense admiration for her made me purchase all the cd's for the whole ten season.I super love the story,turns out I don't love her but so with Chloe's character as Clark's best friend. I was so much discouraged and disappointed when she took of in the 7th season but Chloe got me to watch the last 3 seasons.Although KK's role on the show is nothing major only but to spice up the love story of CLark Kent,I can't help but I admire her so much that I don't even care if her role is relevant or not.I was one super fan of that It made me check Lana's pictures and read all articles on Google related to KK.In fact,I even downloaded songs dedicated to her from you tube.After I finish watching all the cd's I can't help but keep watching it everyday before I go to sleep specially the part where she played Clark's GF.I was really so much obsessed that I only watch their cd over and over again.So to distract myself from such obsession,I tried looking out for other possible cd's that I can watch.I was not a hard core fan of Jenifer Aniston but when Frances recommended "friends",a popular sitcom in the 90's I gave a try and actually found myself liking it until it grew to obsession and it was much crazier this time specially that Aniston is so much popular today ,I can't help but find myself updated with all her recent activities,movies,interviews and all the news about her.I thought I was trying to distract myself but I never thought I hook up myself into a deeper obsession.I enjoyed friends as a whole.I laugh a lot and I loved Rachel and Ross' part on the show. When I watched Smallville,I was so attracted to the idea of Genuine friendship and pure love between Chloe,Lana,Clark and Lex.Chloe's friendship with Clark is so much beautiful that sometimes made me wish what it would be like to have a super hero friend who can be there most of the time.I'm aware of course that such extra ordinary friendship doesn't exist in life aside from the fact that it's just a fiction,a show intended purely for entertainment. I never expected that after watching friends,It was like a continuation of my obsession to Smallville.The difference is amusing! I spent almost 4 hours each day before sleeping just to watch it.I love how the show treated each cast so that explains why the show ran smoothly for 10 years without personal issues that might have obstructed or suspended them from taping.Since CBS management decides to make the show fair enough to all their talents,they didn't just build a beautiful show but they have incorporated one of the most valuable gift they can give to their talents.As a result,they have become good friends on and off camera that explains why their acting seems so natural on the later part of the season.CBS served as a bridge for Aniston and Cox who became BFF's till now. Of all the casts,Rachel caught my attention the most and turns out she's my favorite Cast along with Lisa Kudrow.Aniston has a strong appeal,and I mean comedy wise she's just funny the way she is.One thing that I wonder about her is how much she made everybody like her so much,her fans,the people she worked with,the media and even just someone who is not fond of watching.It seems that she has a natural talent to be likable. What's more stupid is I stalk her personal life and seem to be one of those being played on by media.It was really stupid dahil dumating sa point na I'm hating Angelina and Pitt in her defense.That's how strong her influence is.She can twist people's behavior,point of views and can blindly convince her fans of things that they are not in reality.that's how she is.Has a very good PR.She was someone who started as a waitress but due to hard work she's someone now treated like a goddess in the of entertainment world and is currently one of the highest paid celebrity in the US. THE FINAL EPISODE OF FRIEND Another heart touching sitcom.In spite of the slutty thing that I observe in the show,I still happen to love it so much.I love their concept.It is all about friendship,family,career growth and commitment.To some,it's weird to date your best friend but for me,it's kinda cool.Because if your friend decided to court you knowing he knew every crooked part of you,It means he just loved you as you are.It got me thinking sometimes of how it feels to belong to a barkada of amazing people who can agree,disagree and even fight with you but at the end of the day,you still reconcile and even learn to love each other more deeply.Ang totoo naman kasi nyan,yung bestfriend mo pag nakaaway mo can be your best enemy.I just want a friendship like that,childish in someways pero supportive and loving talaga. Sa sobrang kabaliwan ko,I even compose a letter for Rachel kunyari letter ni Ross sa kanya na nakapagbago ng desisyon nya upang di tumuloy sa Paris.So here it is,Gosh! dahil sa pagkasuper fanatic ko,eto nakabuo ako ng love letter.Grabe! Dear Rach, Just today,I finally realized that my worst fear is you leaving me which means I won't be seeing you each day.The thought of it scared me so much.I mean we have been through a lot already,crazy and stupid stuff.If there's one thing that I regret most in my life,It would be not telling you what I really feel in my heart.The truth is I love you so much since 9th grade and that feeling never changed.It is only out of pride and hurt feelings that I pretended I have move on but its all lies.I love you so much more than my life,more than my pride.Not only because you are the mother of my child but because I just simply love you.I love you so much that I had been admiring you for the past 10 years of my life and I'm sure forever.We started as friends that grows into liking in which I decided to start building an intimate relationship with you.It led to love and ended to a great commitment to each other and now we have Emma as a reminder of our beautiful romance.I always believe from the start that our child is never an accident due to our desperation but that night was the best! The most beautiful memory you gave me and I'm glad we have Emma to remind us always of how we feel for each other.That night was the best expression of my love for you. I just can't believe how foolish I was for pretending I'm okay because I'm too afraid to commit another big mistake that will disappoint you.After that big mistake,I'm just happy to what we are before because I can still go near you,hug you and comfort you.I mean inspite of everything,I was your friend and that's what I'm thankful for so far. But today,when you said your goodbye,I seem to have wake up from a very bad dream.You don't have any idea how much it crushed and pained me when I heard you say that.I mean I might end up either alone forever or being connected to more and more divorce if you just leave me.I knew in my heart when I saw you in highschool with my sister,I knew you are the one for me.Isn't it obvious enough that my first 2 marriages failed because I rushed out.Isn't it obvious enough that regardless of how many fights at the end of the day we easily made up with our mistakes because we simply care each for each other.Until now,I knew that my heart belongs to nobody but you. I longed for you each day,specially when I see Emma,the fruit of our love.How I wish I can convince you to stay and start with me.With our wonderful daughter as a living proof I never loved someone else just like I did to you.I have been so much stupid to keep this on my own but I can be a lot stupider if that what I need to take you back. I love you,I love you,I love you,I love you!!!!! I may grow old physically but these heart of mine will never tire loving you.I will never stop loving you.We had our best and worst days.We had our fight,but in spite of everything...despite your imperfections I'm loving you more.I want to ask you again today before you turn and go..will you stay with me so we can start and build our lives together..with Emma,our daughter.I love you forever,whatever your decision is today.I want you to know this...all of this.... That I had been wrong not admitting my feelings for you.I'm blinded with pride and I'm hurting.What hurts the more is pretending to hook up with any woman that comes along to cover up my bleeding heart.So before you decide to leave me and take our daughter away from me,just know that whatever happens,I love you more than you know.More than life and always keep that in mind.... AS of November 2014,I'm re watching the entire season again and I thought of making a summary of "The Ross and Rachel we were on a break thing" So,let's summarize.Ross had been in love with Rachel since 9th grade but he doesn't have the gut to ask her out.Years after,Rachel showed up in the Central Perk coffee house in wedding gown looking for Monica,her high school friend. Ross get to hang out with her couple of times before asking her out if he can date her.Rachel have no idea how much Ross loved her since for ever.Every time he tries to tell her he loves her,things got in the way such as new suitors or stuff.Rachel is a catch so we can't blame her can we. Then,while Ross went to China,she got Rachel a present that she really loved to which Chandler revealed Ross he did the same with Susan.Rachel was surprised and same time went to the airport to fetch Ross only,he came back with a girl named Julie. And then,drama went on and on.End of the day,Ross found out the truth... The one where Ross was trying to decide who to choose,Rachel or Julie... Chandler came up with the idea of making a list of pros and cons since Ross is such a babe who don't want to hurt anyone.And he came up with tons of annoying things about Rachel.When asked about Julie,he just said BUT she's not Rachel. It just painful to see Ross' desperation towards Rachel.How he wanted her so much and despite all the heavy issues,he kept trying.It felt like I'm watching their story the first time. First try,he broke up with Julie so he can be with Rachel but they fought instead because of the list he made. They watch a high school video where Ross was supposed to take Rachel to prom if his date would not show up,only her prom date showed up leaving Ross heart broken. Rachel,again was emotional and she went and kissed Ross.So they were back together again.First date,Ross had to work and ended up having sex in the museum instead. The one where the argument started...WE WERE ON A BREAK!!!! "I said that because I'm mad at you.I didn't stop loving you" Rachel finally got a job she really loved.She was occupied at work and Ross felt like left out adding Ross' jealousy on Mark. On their anniversary,they had the major fight where the "we were on a break" drama happened.Ross wanting to celebrate their anniversary went to Rachel's work pissing her off.She came home expecting Rose to apologize but they fought instead. Rose stormed out,Rach suggested they need to break out of anger.Ross went to a bar but he wanted to patch things up but instead,he heard Mark's voice on the background.He thought they were really over so he ended sleeping with the girl copier. Rach came over to see him on his flat the following day.They made up only,Gunther told Rachel the story and they broke up again.Probably,the most emotional break up in their history of break ups the whole season. Friendship got awkward for a bit but they eventually learn again how to be decent around each other again after some time. Then one day... Ross has a special presentation on tv but he was all willing to abandon it just so he can bring Rach to the hospital after she got fractured after Monica fall on her.Just like that! That's the difference .Rach is more committed to her work but Ross as much as he loves his job,he just knows his priority. Rachel thought they are heading to getting back,Ross started dating and as defense mechanism,Rach did the same. Ross & Rach reconciled again when he's dating Bonnie.They got back again after Rach did her best to win back Ross. Ross met Emily,a British girl introduced to her by Rach in her desperate attempt to seduce Joshua.Turned out Ross fell in love with her in just a very short time.Trying to figure out how their LDR will work,Ross proposed to Emily which she accepted. Rach got really freaked out and as a result,she was trying to compete Ross.She went asking Josh to marry her but the guy is not like Ross so she got rejected and dump her instead. She realized again that she loved Ross so she showed up on his wedding with Emily in London.As a result,a surprised Ross said her name instead of Emily's ruining his wedding again. Im just bothered why Rachel is wearing jogging pants and sleeveless shirt in a fancy wedding! Also,Chandler and Monica made out! And to borrow Joey's expression,"Yeah,London Baby"... Situation got ugly,Emily left through the window.Ross still went to the airport heading to their honeymoon.Rachel saw him and they agreed to spend the honeymoon together only,Emily showed up last moment.Rachel went on her own leaving Ross chasing Emily to catch up but he was dumped. It's unreal & OA how friends are always there for Pheebs. I wonder,if you're dating one of the twins,why can't you date both. So Emily agreed to work things out with Rose with the condition of not seeing Rachel again & moving to a new apartment and Ross have agreed. If I were in Ross' situation,what will you do? And then,he went for one last dinner and Emily called and found out he hang out with Rachel and ended his marriage after confrontstion.Again,she's the reason for failed relationship. In Vegas,they got drunk and get married.What puzzled me was they can't take off the pen the other night and the following day they were able to remove it? Pheebs: Ross got divorce that he's gonna probably marry it. Everytime ross is finally in good rel its always ruined bec of rachel! Ross really loved her.When shes irritating and unreasonable he can easily drop everything just for that Hes understanding loving etc Wow,is there such a man really? Like it was always the trend.Things will get messy,they make up then break up.One thing is consistent,Rachel is always the one who gets to win Ross back every time he's doing fine in his relationships. After they have baby,live together,watching who they date.thought of restarting relationship but instead fought and she went to live w/ joey FRIENDSHIP I cried so hard when Joey got upset for drawing the line.How come he suddenly matured randomly MEN ARE MEN After all the trouble Rach & Monica went through to get their apartment back loosing one bid after the other,the only thing they got it back is when they agreed for a minute kiss which didn't air by the way. Chandler and Joey found it worth it. IS REALLY THERE A SELFLESS GOOD DEED!? Because we do things to make ourselves feel better. Monica& Chandler Monica nurtured their relationship.When they fought,Chandler thought it's over,but then Monica was amused of chandler's way of thinking and told him instead " welcome to adult relationship". SECRETS I would never want to be the secret bearer.I swear if someone tells me it's a secret,not to tell anyone I won't be flattered anymore.It's a heavy burden and it's really a great bother. MARRIAGE "Marriage is a compromise.You always don't want it but you have to because that's what grown ups do" - Ross FUNNY EPISODES " we know game" Phoebe " 90 percent of a woman's peromones comes out of her head that's why women are shorter.So that men fall in love when they hug them" WRAP UP Warching a sitcom 20 yrs ago and judging it from today I think is really so dumb. I cant help but notice lots of issues brought up by this show such as being homophobic and rude towars fat people.They hardly have ethnical friends,it's just exclusive NYORKERS. I think they are not homophobic.I think they are gay friendly sitcom during their time.They portrayed the real hilarity side of being gay and it's really an eye opener. Was it too stagnant? Careerwise,yes for the other characters specially Joey and phoebe's character but in their defense,in real life it happens.There are some people who are just contented where they are. Was it slutty? Like having sex endlessly is no big deal? Yes.But again,that's America.I would understand if it's an asian tv show in Saudi.Expect criticism but hey,it's the US. The fat and ugly joke.Sexism along other things but it's balanced.Joey can be offending but he's a gentleman.Rachel too is an eye catcher and phoebe's endless dates could be offending but hey,it depends how we want to look. For me,its genius hilarious concept that mirrors the real issues their society their time is dealing with.
