TREE HILL-ING

So, I have to be honest. I've been neglecting my studies and watching One Tree Hill alot for 2 days. Well, I really think I deserve a break after 2 weeks of intense assignment drama.

Anyway, One Tree Hill has become the new addiction of mine. I wasn't really a fan of One Tree Hill previously because I don't like Chad Michael Murray. Yes, don't ask me why. I like cute guys but not Chad. That's not the point though.

I used to watch The O.C. instead of One Tree Hill, but soon, I got tired of The O.C. I mean, it's too fake and stupid and dramatic. One Tree Hill however, was more realistic for me. I don't know, somehow, in some ways, I feel that I can relate in some ways to what some of the characters experience.

My siblings however was more One Tree Hill fans. They have been watching it since forever. Well, I never really get that hype until recently when they watched Season 6 on DVD. My cousin Beatrice is another One Tree Hill fan and she has the whole of Season 5 and half of Season 6 on DVD, which she then lend to my siblings. So, I started watching when they watch it on TV and I became hooked because of Little Jamie Scott. He is so so adorable. At first, I just watch the episodes with loads of Jamie in it, but later I just got interested in the other characters' progress as well.

Well, now I'm back to square one, watching Season 1.

I guess One Tree Hill is all about Basketball, family and friendship, and of course love. Well I know I say that One Tree Hill is realistic, but I guess it is also unrealistic at the same time. Maybe it's the culture difference, but I really can't see how Haley can be married and pregnant at 18 and have a 5-year-old at only 22. I'm 22 and I really don't see myself there at all. Plus, with so many things going on for her, she can still have a good career (as a teacher) at 22. Brooke is a successful fashion designer at 22. Peyton owns a record company at 22. Lucas, a successful writer at 22. Mouth a successful sportscaster at 22. Wow...it's like all the characters are basically successful at this ridiculously young age. I haven't even graduated at 22.

However, even though it's fake in some ways, you can't help but love them all. My favourite character is ...guess?

Ok besides Jamie is Haley. I think of all the characters, I hope to be like her the most. She's simple yet so special. She's nice and sweet. She has a happy family, with a great son and hot husband. Who doesn't want that right? Plus, she said one of the greatest quotes ever in the show. One that really help me went through the past weeks.
"You can choose to blame your circumstances on fate, or bad luck or bad choices, or you can fight back. Things aren't always gonna be fair in the real world, that's just the way it is."

-Haley James Scott

How true. And I believe so. I worked hard for my assignments and what do I get? 3rd class. And people who are doing lesser are getting better grades. Fairness? Nah. Not happening. I was giving up really. Devastated. Losing hope. But I guess Haley is right. I can blame it on my luck or anything else but I guess all I have to do now is to FIGHT BACK. I mean, I believe in fate and destiny, but sometimes, it's not everything. Things that doesn't kill me makes me stronger right? I hope so.

I like Nathan next. He's so sweet. I mean, he started off as a jerk but Haley transformed him. That's the beauty of this couple. Secretly, as a girl, I think we all like the satisfaction of being able to change someone, or make someone a better person. That's why I love Nathan and Haley. There are perfect together and watching them brings me to fantasy land.



The perfect couple


This video is by Haley...one of my favourite song by her - "Halo"



I'm at episode 10 right now. I wished I could write more, but I can't. I have to get back to the books. Sad...

Well, till next time!
