A lifestyle blog about all the things I love - fashion, glamour, epicure, pop culture, travel, literature and the world of sernedipity.

My lipstick smudges and I straighten my hair way too much. I spill things a lot and have an obsession with making lists. I'm pretty ambitious but sometimes I have a lazy heart. Some days nothing goes right and some days the best blessings are not getting what you want!

Enjoy my musings...

I've become a real believer in not defining every single thing. Seems like everytime you think you've figured out what something is, it just becomes something else.




I can still remember the first time I watched this show … a lonnnggg time ago! I was at a hospital waiting for my mum to get out of surgery flicking through the channels on one of those tiny hospital TVs with a limited volume remote control. As soon as it started I was absolutely hooked! I forgot where I was, why I was there and what was going on!

Felicity (a rare breed of cool nerd) had this mad infatuation with Ben (there are no words to describe how ultimate this guy is). At the end of high school he writes the following in her yearbook.

Dear Felicity,

Here it goes. I watched you for four years, always wondered what you were like, and what was going on in your mind all that time when you were so quiet, just thinking. Drawing in your notebook. I should've just asked you, but I never asked you. So now, four years later, I don't even know you. But I admire you. Well, that makes me sound crazy, but I'm okay with that. So take care of yourself.
Love,
Ben.

PS I would've said, "Keep in touch," but unfortunately, we were never in touch.

So what does this clever cookie about to venture into a career in medicine do when there is a chance that her ultimate guy may have some kind of feelings for her? Felicity cancels all rational plans and moves to New York to stalk Ben. That’s when all the other dramas start to happen and all these amazing characters are created including Noel (he becomes Felicity’s first boyfriend ), Julie (I actually didn’t really like her!), Elena, Meghan (Felicity’s crazy roommate), Sean and Javier… It should be noted that I actually know a Felicityesque girl who did the same thing… different city though… IT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!

I loved the raw emotion, shame, passion, stalking, humour and awkwardness in this show. I learnt a lot about life from Felicity! One of which is big deal say what you really think to people... it won't matter at all in five years time how bad of a psychotic freak you look like!

So here are some of my fav quotes:

When your heart gets broken, you start to see the cracks in everything. It's my belief that the world is out to harden us, and it is our mission never to let it.
(Sally – one of Felicity’s friends)

Sometimes it's the simplest decisions that can pretty much change your life forever.
(Felicity)

- About that thing... where you said you had feelings for me?
- Oh... don't worry about me, I'm a sensitive guy. I have feelings for lots of girls.
 
(Felicity & Noel) 

I kissed you the other night... you know that - you were there.
(Noel) 

Look, I... I understand why you rather see Felicity with someone like Noel. Someone who's obviously going to make it. And probably long before, I mean, I figure out what I'm going to be doing with my life. But I always remember this one thing a teacher said, which was, all the interesting people she knew they had no idea what they were going to do with their lives when they were 20. So chances are, I'm going to turn out to be a pretty interesting guy. Look, for some reason, Felicity cares about me. And on a good day, I feel like I might become everything she sees in me. It is because of that, it is because of about a million other reasons that she means pretty much the world to me
(Ben)

Maybe getting over someone you’re in love with isn’t impossible. Unless, maybe you don’t actually get over it. Maybe you just learn to live with it.
(Felicity)

I've made a lot, alot of mistakes in my life and nobody knows that more than you do, but the biggest mistake I've ever made was letting you go. What I should have done is realize that being with you made me the luckiest guy in the planet..."
(Ben)

And just for the record… I liked Noel the nice guy better, those "ultimate" guys come with too many problems!
