let me run you through *one of* the best things about being here.

and that's advanced tv seasons. aside from the expansive library, the easy-make food variety, and *of course* my family, the television series shown on foreign cable jump ahead one, two, sometimes countless seasons from what is available on philippine tv. let it be the oc, queer eye for the straight guy, friends, or digimon, the progressed shows give me something to look forward to, and to waste time on, during the break.

however, like always, there's always a catch. after 2 months (or in this case, 2 weeks) of full tv immersion, i just have to return home to the good old archipelago with its backwards cable viewing experience. it will kill me to be at home (in qc) in a few weeks watching yu-gi-oh on cartoon network, knowing that the new season just started airing on the kids! wb network here in new orleans yesterday. or reading about the pokémon series, unfortunately non-existent in local channels at home, when tons and bundles and caboodles of new seasons have been released over here. it always makes leaving such a crying shame.

so sorry if i'm being weird right now. being behind on the other, more mature series is okay with me, i can rarely ever complete a whole season of those anyway. it's just the cool kiddie animé which get me twisted and depressed. even after turning 17.

i'm desperately holding on to my childhood.
