Reality Acts

I've never been a fan of reality TV shows especially the ones that are broad casted in the Middle East such as Star Academy and the remake of Big Brother (I don't know if they're still airing that). Sometimes, I just get curious to watch one of those reality shows and the latest I've been watching was the bachelor. The guy has probably gone through major plastic surgeries which eventually turned him into a real life sized Ken doll. I should say I'm really not drawn to the show in any way, but I kept on watching it until the finale. Why did I do that? Maybe because I ran out of shows to watch especially that I've wrapped up most of my favorite ones lately and I got nothing to watch. One thing that runs through my mind while viewing such shows is, are they real or the people acting? When the bachelor chooses his future Mrs. does he mean it and are they going to have the happy ending? I always think that reality shows people are paid just as actors do in regular shows. Producers try to show a certain image to the audience and therefore force the people participating in their shows to act in a way to present that image.
MTV has shown tons of reality TV shows over the years. Last year I spent almost a month in Berlin and during that time, the only channel that spoke a language I understood was MTV. I thought it's better than nothing. At the time when I return from shopping or hanging out with my friends I come back to watch TV and chill. One of the weirdest shows came on, which was named "Date My Mom". How gross is that?! It's about a guy who dates three mothers of three daughters and depending on how his day goes with them, he'll choose the winner. Of course other shows come in line to being the stupidest such as Viva La Bam, Dismissed, Next, and some other dating shows.
When people join dating shows, are they at the utmost desperation? They seem to be ready to get humiliated by the public. Aside from being on International TV, they are competing with a few other people to win that someone special. If I were to win, I'd like it to be a solo competition!

One, Two Step...One, Two Step

I decided without further notice to fly to Dubai again for a few days. Gladly I'm back now. I've been there to run some errands for my mom and finish some other stuff. Also since it's "weddings season" I decided to purchase a night dress.

I'm not really a wedding person. I don't enjoy going there as much as I stress myself out before the event. Sometimes it might be fun to go because I know I'd be with my friends, but at other times it's just to stressful to be there as I try to escape the looks I get from women.

Last year I remember at a family's wedding, I hit the dance floor with my cousin and well as I perceive, dancing is supposed to be fun. But whoever thought that dancing at a formal wedding would be fun was totally crazy, especially when I wore a long dress and those really killer high heels. I also thought that it's okay to let loose a bit and have fun while dancing, but instead, my cousin gave a sharp look signaling that I should do the regular one two step back and forth, and I thought to myself "How boring!" I know that if we're on the dance floor people would be looking at us, but we dance to have fun not to run a fashion show.

So I guess I have the right to freak out before going to a wedding. Maybe the only thing that would get me through the 2 weddings I have to go to is the rest of summer which I'm totally looking forward to!

Wii would like to play

One of my latest addictions. It's My favorite console so far! Wiiiiiii!

Wii Would Like to Play

I purchased a Wii a few days ago, and I'm totally hooked on the game. It's something new and totally interactive. I was struggling between purchasing the PS3 or XBox 360, but when Wii came into the picture, it made the decision much harder. After I tried playing, I thought that Wii could be part of my daily workout!
There are a few games now, but much games are coming. If you like to get a full experience of gaming, choose Wii. The Wii commercials are fun to watch, but I uploaded this video. The kid is so adorable!

Finalmente!

As a huge fan of TV I'm kind of bummed that my favorite shows are coming to an end, and in the same time I really want to see how conflicts get resolved. Also, if the show is coming back for another season, there must be a huge cliffhanger that would keep our minds busy all summer trying to predict the upcoming episodes of our favorite sitcoms.
So far I'm mostly looking forward to watching the finales of :

* Grey's Anatomy (there's not doubt about it!)
* Heroes
* Lost

Although I've been watching some other shows too including Ugly Betty, I'm not really excited about it. Around the 15th episode, events started slowing down and the show just got lame. Maybe after winning a couple of awards the producers got so full of themselves that they paid more attention to shining their award statues rather than creating entertaining episodes.

Lost also got on my nerves for a while. But towards the 17th episode, things started heating up. Lost is going to air for two more seasons! That would give the creators time to come up with an ending that would blow us away.

If only he were real!

Something I did on photoshop and it's too good to be true! :p

...

I passed by Virgin Megastore today and found out it was closed down by the Ministry of Information. It has been closed since April 26th until further notice! Bummer! It wasn't really that good in the first place except for the electronics and video games sections. They didn't have a good collection of CD's and DVD's. I heard that they were selling "inappropriate" videos, and in here, inappropriate is when a movie or a TV show is rated PG-13 I guess.
Maybe the Ministry has done something right since some kids buy dvds and cds that are age inappropriate, and without the supervision of adults. If Virgin opens up again but with the Ministry's restrictions, would the CD and DVD aisles be shrunk? I think that Virgin might shut down, because if electronics were the main thing in there, we could purchase them in other places for better deals, and they forget about profits. Good luck to them!
