I am addicted to Grey’s anatomy again! After watching a marathon of season 6 and 7, I now can’t sit still and wait until all the episodes have been aired. I prefer to watch TV Shows when the season is done so all the episodes are complete and there’s no need for me to wait for the next episode. However, I’ve gotten so hooked again that I can’t just wait for the whole season to finish anymore. I am glued to the Internet just so I can be updated on the latest epi. While waiting for episode 4, here’s a great post that I found from wetpaint.com.
TOP 5 OMG! Moments of GA Season 8, Epis 1 & 2 5. Meredith Grey, Resident Kidnapper
With sloppier writing, Meredith (Ellen Pompeo)’s kidnapping of Zola would have been as ludicrous as, say, a doctor resuscitating a deer in the parking lot. But our hearts went out to this embattled mother, desperate to hang on to the one remaining bright part of her life.
4. A sinking feeling
Even though the sinkhole storyline was no surprise for any avid Grey’s fan, there were still plenty of shockers associated with that gnarly gully. Like the size of the dang thing! Or Susanna having a whole freakin’ car fall on her. Or the fact that little Nicky could have died under the dirt had it not been for Alex (Justin Chambers)’s intuition. Hole-y crap!
3. So long, Zola
Parting isn’t sweet sorrow; it’s just full-on, unadulterated sorrow for Meredith and Derek (Patrick Dempsey), after watching Janet ride off into the sunset with baby Zola in tow. Why is keeping a baby such a struggle for Grey’s couples who want them, and not for the couples who don’t?
2. Epi fail
We suppose Alex got all the comeuppance he deserved by, uh, nearly dying in the ER. We think that more than makes up for his tattling on Meredith. A hit of epinephrine would just send anyone else into a frenzy for a bit, but because of Alex’s arrhythmia, he nearly kicked the bucket. If it weren’t for the quick work of the other docs, the world would have been down one lovable jerkface.
1. Richard’s recourse
We were wondering why the promo department at ABC would show previews of Richard (James Pickens Jr.) firing Meredith, which was shocking enough. But now we know: the real twist is that the chief effectively fired himself for the sake of Mer’s career, by deciding to take the blame. He really isn’t the bad guy in her story after all.
What’s the first book that you ever read more than once? (I’m assuming there’s at least one.)
- I’ve re-read the Westmoreland Series of Judith Mcnaught so many times I can repeat the dialogues without problems. The first book was Whitney, my Love naturally which is the first Westmoreland novel featuring Whitney and Clay. Although some of my friends had a love and hate relationship with this book, I wholeheartedly adored it. I love how powerful Clayton was and yet when it comes to loving someone, he’s willing to humble himself. We would even sometimes play the villain just to make Whitney look like a hero to her gossiping neighbors.
What book have you read the most times? And–how many?
- Aside from the Westmoreland series (Whitney, My Love and Until You), I’ve also read Something Wonderful, Perfect, Paradise, Once and Always, Something Wonderful and Almost Heaven more than 4x-5x.
- There’s also Nick Bantock’s Griffin and Sabine Trilogy (10x) which I will never get tired of re-visiting. Emily Griffin’s Something Borrowed/Blue (3x). The Twilight Saga (4x). Kinsella’s Can You Keep a Secret (3x). Dumas’ Count of Monte Cristo (2x) and plenty more light reads that I can read for one to two days.
Finding the best chirp was the easiest task for the day. All I had to do was go to thesource.ca website and see their current deals on GPS. Now that that’s done, let me share with you the latest movie that I’m dying to see. If you haven’t read the Hunger Games trilogy, then you might want to get started now. I liked how they didn’t focus on the love triangle but instead, concentrated on the survival tactics / action scenes. I hope the movie will be as good as the book unlike the other trilogy that has yet to satisfy my requirements. (cough*twilight*cough)
I love receiving baby shower invitations. Aside from the cards being too cute for words, I always feel honored whenever I am asked to share a special occasion such as baby showers, birth and baptism. So it’s no surprise that I am designing one for a friend who’s about to give birth next month. Of course, she has no idea that we are throwing a party for her. We are all keeping it hush-hush. I’m sure she has an idea because they did throw one for me as well. Still, even if she does know that we’re cooking something, she wouldn’t know where or when. Her husband, which is also a dear friend of mine will be taking her to dinner and when they come home, she will be welcomed with balloons, little booties stringed together and plenty of smiling faces. I can’t wait!
After reading several lipozene reviews, I’m now feeling positive that I have something to fall back on if ever I don’t lose my pregnancy weight in my allotted time. I wish I can be like those celebrity moms who just shed off pounds so easy. They can show off their new curves down the red carpet in a matter of weeks after giving birth! Of course, there’s no such thing as a magic formula, everyone has to sweat it or spend thousands of dollars on trainers or body treatments. They’re just lucky that they have the money and the connection to the right people that can make them meet their weight loss goals faster than mere mortals like us. If you’re curious, check out some of how some of the celeb moms lost their weight below:
Gisele Bundchen During the later part of her pregnancy she kept fit doing kung fu and yoga. After her son Benjamin was born she just did “yoga on a mat in her living room.” But now she’s getting a bit more of a work out. She was recently spotted leaving a dance workout class in Los Angeles and working up a good sweat in the process.
Heidi Klum To get her in shape for the Victoria Secrets show that she hosted soon after giving birth to her fourth child, Heidi relied on the help of a trainer. She said that her trainer was, “helping me so I don’t overdo it. I’ve been walking on the treadmill. Walking up and down the driveway. She has a medicine ball so she showed me things on there. You can’t do too much too early.”
Jessica Alba Jessica worked with the acclaimed Hollywood trainer Ramona Braganza using her 321 Baby Bulge Be Gone Plan. This plan included elliptical and treadmill work, which Jessica did at home. She soon was able to also add in her core exercises, cardio and circuit training.
Halle Berry Halle also opted to use Ramona Braganza’s 321 Baby Bulge Be Gone Plan as well as the treadmill, Halle did one hour workouts that include three segments of cardio, two segments of weights, and one segment of core work.
Jennifer Lopez JLO reportedly spent a whole $50,000 on a home gym to get her back in shape after having her twins. She hired a personal trainer and Jennifer woke up at 4am to work out for three hours, seven days a week. Now that’s some commitment right there!
Tom and Katie’s height difference never cease to amaze me. Look at the first photo. Katie seems to be wearing a three-inch clogs yet Tom doesn’t seem too vertically challenged. Okay, granted that his shoes have at least 1 1/2 heels but still, it doesn’t look as bad as the second photo. Height-wise, they are so not compatible. But they just both look so good whether it’s on a normal day (or is it?) or the red carpet that their heights don’t matter at all. Totally diggin’ Katie’s dress btw.
Stumbled upon this photo gallery of 20 Years of Fashion Highs and Lows. You could say that diet pills are still not popular back in the 80s. They are so lucky that the anorexic look wasn’t the trend yet. I believe chunky legs and arms were even considered sexy. But kidding aside, I do think people would still rather exercise back then than starve themselves to death. Which is why they look healthy with their meaty yet toned muscles than skeletal and deathly.
