yes, despite the high reviews and some of my friends being addicted over it, I admit I haven’t sat through a whole episode of Grey’s Anatomy. I just finally watched a couple of so (completely) this weekend ‘coz Kris is watching the episodes of its latest season.
no, it’s not because i don’t like medical drama; i was actually crazy over E.R. during high school. no, obviously it’s not because i don’t like following a series; my fanaticism over t.v. shows dates back since mid-80s (think McGyver, Star Trek: The Next Generations).
it’s really just because of this weird ‘sickness’ or ‘attitude’ that i have. you see, i have this mindset for resistance of the popular (yes, personally and psychologically unprocessed condition). if I know a lot of people like something, i’d try to avoid liking so as much and as long as i can; but if i am one of the first few people who like something, i don’t mind if the rest of the local world start to like that something as well. so, basically, i’m like just refusing to jump in the bandwagon if it’s already quite filled. (yes, yes, i’m mentally disturbed!)
case in point: i won’t be caught playing badminton as a sport because many of my close friends are already into it; but i would try rowing, boxing, and batting because none/only a handful of my close friends do them.
which brings us back to Grey’s Anatomy. many friends followed it since it was first shown here, thus i didn’t (but since no one i knew was watching Heroes, i sat through the episodes until I discovered some people are watching it na rin. but, since i started out knowing no one tuned with it, i’m gonna continue watching despite the show’s growing popularity here).
anyway, i tried to break this crazy mindset and watched along with Kris the episode he was then currently on. finally, i’ve become acquainted with “Mc Dreamy” and “Mc Steamy,” whom just i often heard from friends who are avid watchers of Grey’s Anatomy.
my reviews: too much sleeping around; i like Chris O’Donnel’s character better than Mc Dreamy; i don’t like the voice and thoughts of Grey, but i do those of the other characters….so, can it be Someone Else’s Anatomy na lang J?
sayang, i wasn’t hooked enough with Grey’s Anatomy to finally throw away my stubborn mind-set.
oh well, baby steps, people. baby steps J.
I aso hate grey’s voice! Her voice turned me off the entire series completely.
Nawala na si Chris O’Donnel.
wow! i’m exactly like that.. uh-oh.. you might start thinking to change that mindset because someone else is like that too! hahaha! back in college, i refuse to own a jansport because almost everybody has it… i refused to watch friends, smallville and all the others just because it was all they hype… i refused to read harry potter and only read it after the excitement died down… hahaha… the list goes on…
i miss you ria!!! i hope to see you and the rest of O’96 real soon! di na ko bata ngayon… hahahaha! mwah!
bart, i found out some other friends hate her voice too. anti-grey’s-voice, unite! :o)
millan,
you said it, i’d be one of the faddish people na tuloy; hahahaha! kaya pala we clicked despite the age gap in HS eh. yeah, as we’ve also aged, so sad to some point to say our ‘baby sister’ is all grown up na rin. but, we love you just the same :o) See you soon!
