...choices i gotta make...

I have recently gotten back to slumping into one of my most gruesome-yet-enjoyable holiday-habit of the week: doing marathons of Desperate Housewives season 3 DVDs. Hell it is fun, and also addictive. I've finished four out of a total of seven tempting, deliciously waiting DVDs in a day already, and if you think that's a lot, wait till I tell you how I nailed watching my last collection of CHARMED.

Hahaha. Now I'm a confirmed TV-freak. Do I get to be proud? *grins*



Aaaaaanyway.
As I was saying... Well, doing the marathon-thingy today has taught me quite a memorable lesson. Aside from learning that sitting continuously on hard floor for four consecutive hours with no supporting pillow and no air-conditioning proves to have caused me severe aching around the butt area, that is.
I learned that life, somehow, is all about making choices.

Getting confused? Check out this fragment of conversation between the newlywed Bree Hodge [fyi, that new last name sounds freaky] and Andrew van de Kamp [my fave!]. This scene happens right after Danielle storms out of the house after Bree condemns her about sleeping with her History teacher [his name's Mr. Fadali, I think], and Bree ends up brokenhearted sitting on the bottom of the stairway.

Bree: "I've tried so hard to set a good example... I've done the best I could to teach you kids right from wrong... Why isn't it taking?"
Andrew: "It took. I mean, we know the difference between right and wrong. We just choose wrong."
Bree: *looking startled* "Why..?"
Andrew: "Sometimes when you push a kid really hard to go one way, the other way starts to look more entertaining..."

Get it now? No. Oh, come on. *shakes head*
Yes, life is about making choices. Boundaries are made all around us, showing us the ropes and rules of doing the things that we do. But in the end, the choice is still for us to make. We know the lines, and we decide. Regardless of all the 'right-and-wrong' philosophy that surrounds the society today, the final move is still in our hands.

Believe it or not, deeply-socialized rules can only get us so far. Socially-accepted pretences are all around us as well. Like wise people always say, everything sincere comes from the heart. Right, or wrong. White or black. Or even something vague and grey that hovers in between. Like Edie Britt, perhaps. *winks*

...Oh, well then. I guess I'm gonna stop typing crap and get back to my Desperate Housewives addiction for the time being. *laughs*
Have a FABULOUS week, guys!! =)
