The Partner-in-crime

When I first watched Gossip Girl, I knew I was gonna love it. Good-looking guys. Elite people. Manhattan. Chic. Fashionable. Blair. Nate. Chuck.


But, really, what made it interesting was, eventhough how bitchy, wicked and stubborn Blair is, she found herself a bestfriend in the person of Serena.


When Serena knew that Blair wasn't gonna get into Yale, she was there for her and same thing goes to S when B knew that she killed someone. She didn't judge Serena and instead, helped her resolve issues.

Having a boyfriend is great but having a bestfriend is even greater. It's a BLESSING.

Who would you call in the middle of the night when you and your guy fight?

Who would suggest you a make-over when you're not looking your best?

Who would tolerate your naighty-ness for the sake of your happiness?

Who would criticize you in a nice wat as not to hurt your feelings?

Or who would you share those bars of chocolate when you feel down and depressed?

Just your Bestfriend. Thank heavens, literally, since I first met C in this church community called Antioch. She was one of the prettiest in my batch and as I was in that superficial episode of my life, I only talked to pretty people. We didn't hit the friendship mode until a year after - and it's because between the two of us, C is the friendlier one.


Eversince C and I became friends, it was so easy for me telling my thoughts to her. It was comfortable being me. It made me think of friendships like Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston's, Katie Holmes and Victoria Beckham's, Tobey Maguire and Leonardo diCaprio's or the infamous BROMANCE of Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

They are all twosomes. People who have found their partners-in-crime in the other. Friends that aren't as alike (personality-wise), but can meet halfway for the sake of friendship. That is what I feel about my friendship with C. Safe yet careless.

Last Sunday, C and I planned a movie date. Call it divine intervention but we were both wearing the same thing - black and white striped blouse and a pair of  black shorts. We also both wore flip-flops.

We first went to the grocery to buy 2 bars of chocolate, 4 kinds of potato chips, mini wafer bars, cheesy flakes, chocolate cookies, iced tea and lemonade. We made it specific to buy sweets because we both know that John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo will never fail to make anyone hopelessly in-love. And we don't wanna allow that feeling at the moment since there are enough dramas happening in our lovelives lately.
As the movie went on, we weren't able to eat those bags of chips and drink the lemonade that costs $2 We both shared tissue papers for 2 reasons: One, that we were so touched and moved by the story and two; that we both can relate to it.

The amazing thing about it was - we never were ashamed of sobbing inside the theater. I never felt embarassed crying over a tagalog, cheesy, hopeless romantic film and it's because I was with someone who understands my whole being.

Isn't it nice to have someone by your side days after Valentine's Day and you're lovelife-less, alone and single? I know it sounds pathetic but what have we? No C, No P. Nobody exactly. Just us.

This is so mushy hearing from a girl bestfriend but I promise you that my favorite color is still pink, my favorite word is make-up and eventhough how gorgeous Angelina Jolie could be, I'd still prefer dating Brad Pitt. I'm straight.

It's just that we complement each other a lot. I'm the bread and she's the butter. I'm the milk and she's the coffee. I'm the sago and she's the gulaman. Hahaha!!

And if ever I tell her, I killed someone, I know she'd help me out how to lie to the cops. Or surrender. Or disappear. And here's what, I'd do the same thing to her.

Heck. I just found my SERENA.

Me and bessie!

GG addiction


 "Hey Upper East Siders! Gossip Girl here, bringing you

the most scandalous lives of Manhattan's elite..."
 Who doesn't know these lines?
Who hasn't seen Blair's headbands? Or Serena's

coats? Or Chuck's scarves? Or Nate's bangs? Or Dan?

Or Jenny? Or Vanessa?

I must say that I, too, am one of the avid viewers of

the American TV series, Gossip Girl..



What's not to like?

The show's setting is in

Manhattan. We all know

that a lot of American TV

series have chosen the

Earth's capital to be their

main setting.



The Office, Law

and Order, CSI, Psych,

30 Rock, Sex and the City and

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. are such.




Gossip Girl is literally a mystery person

sending gossip to everybody's mobile

phone via text or picture messages to

tell the latest happening about the main

characters -- as they are rich and

famous.


Each character has their signature personality
 
The meanie



Blair Waldorf is the daughter of a famous fashion designer, Eleanor Waldorf. She is entitled as the "Queen Bee" of Constance as she has minions who help her just bully just as almost anyone she likes. She is Nate Archibald's childhood sweetheart and Serena Van der Woodsen's bestfriend.

               

The bad-girl-gone-good

Serena Van der Woodsen is popular in Constance Billard School since men and women find her very attractive. She is adventurous and outgoing, opposite Blair who is pristine and reserved. She has dated many men considering her young age.



The womanizer




Chuck is the son of Bart Bass, owner of the Bass Industries, properties include The Palace. He is a certified womanizer. He acquired his being defensive to be able to shield his anger towards his father. He is Nate's bestfriend and in love with Blair.



 
The down-to-earth, pretty guy


Nate Archibald is from the wealthy family of Van der Bilt. He is Blair's childhood sweetheart but eventually is a target to cougars since he is very charming and nice.



  


Dan Humphrey lives in Brooklyn and got a scholarship in St. Jude's School for boys. He lives a humble and simple life until he dated Serena in the first season.






   


Jenny Humphrey is Dan's younger sister and also goes to Constance Billard School. She tries to be like Blair Waldorf, even competing with her through schemes and lies. She wants to be Constance's new Queen Bee but banished by her social status.  







For me, Gossip Girl is television's Titanic

since F.R.I.E.N.D.S.

And I'm not just saying

this because I'm a Gossip

Girl fan.
It has this charisma that

keeps everybody tuning

into it.

If ever you get to watch E!

News, Ryan Seacrest and

Giuliana dePandi Rancic

always talk about GG.

The show is all about teenagers.

RICH Teenagers. It's all about blackmail, lies,

power-tripping, betrayal, peer pressure,

social climbing and discrimination.

It makes us see the reality that the RICH

are the POWERFUL ones.

And yet, the show also makes us realize that the RICH

are NORMAL, too.

They are true friends.They are capable


of loving. They have family problems.


They have issues. They cry. They get


betrayed.


And MONEY isn't everything --- even to

them.

The show's writer, Josh Schwartz, is just superb.

You'll never know what to expect from the main

characters.
You'll never know where the story goes.
And that's what keeps me watching it. And Blair. And

Nate. And Chuck.

I am not a teenager anymore but it

always feels good to be young at

heart~~

What about you?

What's your favorite TV series?
