gossip girl craze

Glamorous (Constance Billard Choir)

right after holiday vacation, i was introduced to this new tv series, wherein ariane (my roomie) was practically swooning over chace crawford or his character in the series or BOTH! i gotta tell you, there's nothing like hot, gorgeous guys getting my full attention! rarr!

so i watched the pilot episode, then the next few episodes… and just like heroes, i was instantly hooked! it is sooo interesting, considering the hottest scoop on Manhattan's upper east side elites! and you got to love all that drama! i mean, who wouldn't?

quite superficial in more ways than i can imagine, makes me step back and think if something like that will ever happen in real life… or if there is such a thing… but you know what? it works! it actually works! nevertheless, it is a fun series to watch!

good girl gone bad, sleeping with bestfriend's boyfriend/girlfriend, plotting one's destruction in under a minute, eating disorders, dad leaving mom for another man, things you do to belong, crazy ways to protect the family, secret rendezvous, high stakes gambling, adjusting to a dysfunctional family, manipulation… these are just some of the things our characters are dealing with…

kindda too much to handle for high school students, right? well not just ordinary high school students but Upper East Side's elite high school students…

let me introduce you to gossip girl's favorite subjects: 

Serena van der Woodsen (S) - ironically, a good friend but there's still more to her than meets the eye

Blair Waldorf (B) - the most popular girl in school, complete with her own posse, and a wardrobe enough to dress entire Manhattan

Nathaniel Archibald (Nate) - B's boyfriend… hot, gorgeous… need i say more?

Charles Bass (Chuck) - his scarf is his signature… more of a bad boy that only wants nothing but to please his dad… Nate's bestfriend… he loves booze and would practically sleep with any woman or girl… you get the picture?

Dan Humphrey (Lonely Boy) - has had the biggest crush on S since, i don't know, forever? he is witty and down right charming in his own little way, and can practically blab about anything…

Jenny Humphrey (little J) - Blair's new toy, a neophyte… will do almost anything for B… too sad… oh well, she is a freshman…

sex… lies… scandals… friendships… it's a little bit of everything, all rolled into one show…

and then there were three…

so the condo is one member short… as joyce and i came back from nagaland, our very own bax had already moved out… she is no longer…

no longer with us… so to speak… well, i hadn't thought that she'll instantly move out, i was thinking she'll be staying for a week or so… but there you go, surprise… surprise… welcome to 2008!

to those who are speculating as to why our former roomie left… with speculations like:

    a) we, being the mean-iest (if there's such a word) girls ever (duh?! as if!), kicked her out of the         house, an eviction, if you can call it that…

    b) she had enough of us that she packed her things and left

    c)  she's leaving the country and not coming back… or something like that

well, sorry to burst your bubble people! it seems like we're not mean girls after all! screw you for thinking such thought! rarr! hmpf!

she left because she needed to… not that we're too much to handle… or was she too much to handle? well, nothing of that sort. it was a voluntary exit, if you know what i mean… aside from financial woes, she also needs to do this for herself as preparation for independent living, if she pursues a career in singapore.

we're all good friends though, we still get together from time to time… 

so right now, we're delegating chores among the three of us… sad to say, but we adjusted pretty fast! haha! no offense to bax…
