3 Shows I'm currently loving

I haven't done a "3 things" post in a while so I thought with my love of tv, why not do one on the shows I am currently loving! 

1. Betrayal
I've only watched episode one of season one but it was so captivating that I know I am going to be addicted. Stuart Townsend also happens to be some really good eye candy.

Love this quote: "After the first betrayal there is no other"
 
 


2. Hostages

I am on episode two of season one but I am enjoying it. Toni Collette is a brilliant actress and although I have always thought she was slightly weird her acting ability is admirable.

One of my favourite quotes : " Sometimes you have to do a bad thing for a good reason."



 


3. Pretty Little Liars

Well this is by no means a new show I am still completely addicted to it. Even with "A" being unveiled I am still incredibly intrigued! I love the main four girls but my favourite is a toss up between Aria and Emily.

Do you agree? "Just because two things happen at the same time doesn't mean their connected."




What shows are you currently loving?? Do you like mine? While I didn't include Suits, you know I am loving it too!

FOMO (Fear of Missing Out)



When trying to think what to title my post today I changed it a number of times, I usually don't give that much thought into it but I didn't want to mispreprent what it is I wanted to say today.

If you follow me on twitter or we are friends on facebook, heck if we've spoken in the last couple of weeks, you would know that I have not been in the best headspace. Last week I had something on every single day of the week, so from work I would have to go to one appointment and then rush off to another. I knew it was going to be a hectic couple of days but I honestly did not think my body would give up on me. In Thursday morning, I became ill and it lasted well.... all the way through to today.


I have been saying to anyone who would listen my friends and family that when you're body is shouting at you you should listen. A few weeks ago my skin started acting up and then my hair was falling out and I swaer everything I eat goes straight to my hips but last week was the final straw for me. While I suffered in pain, I thought "If only I had said no to one or two things" my body would have pushed through. Pushed through to what is the question?

The Fear of Missing out hit me bad and then my body hit back which sucks but it has forced me to take a moment (or a week) to decide what am I going to do to change all these things that are affecting my body.



I think it's important for me to remember to say NO when necessary and remember that I need to take a mental time out.

FOMO coupled with the many developments in my life have left me in a bit of a sour place and I am trying really hard not to let the negativity spread.

Now tell me, what do you do to deal with FOMO??? DO you suffer with it or is just me?

One Tree Hill - Music Monday

If I haven't mentioned this before (because it's possibly in one of my drafts) I love One Tree Hill. I was/am absolutely obsessed with Leyton (Lucas and Peyton). I actually think it was the introduction of the Peyton in my high school career that helped shaped my personality.

Lucas said in Season 6, it is important that the director understands that "Peyton's whole mood can change with a song" and the truth is, this is exactly me. It's funny how much music has shaped me.

Here is a quote in which she explains the difference between lyric people and music people: -
I am a lyric person, what are you???

Peyton's character introduced me to many different types of music for example:


OR

And most importantly,

I miss this show, it's simple and clear that I loved the new music genres that it opened me up too and now I find that a lot of shows I watch will become my favourite shows after I know the soundtracks are good.

Are there any shows which you like even more after you hear some of their songs? I'd love to hear your recommendations?

Blame it on Bruno Mars!

When people ask me "Why I am Single?" I now have an answer, simple - it is Bruno Mars' fault!

And no, it's not because I now expect every man to treat me like he sings about it "If I were your man"



But rather the fact that he has another song... all about me! (or so it would seem)...


 
For your ease... here are the lyrics...
"Natalie"

Oh, I never done this before
Never wanna do this again
Wrong turn on a dusty road
I did it to myself, I can't pretend
Well, I learned just a little too late
Good God, I must've been blind
'Cause she got me for everything, everything, everything, alright

Like my daddy I'm a gambling man
Never been afraid to roll the dice
But when I put my bet on her
Little Miss Snake eyes ruined my life
She better sleep with one eye open
Better make sure to lock her doors
'Cause once I get my hands on her, Imma oh

Natalie ‒ she ran away with all my money
And she did it for fun
Natalie ‒ she's probably out there thinking it's funny
Telling everyone
Well, I'm digging a ditch
For this gold-digging bitch
Watch out ‒ she's quick
Look out for a pretty little thing named
Natalie ‒ if you see her tell her I'm coming
She better run

The good lord better bless your soul
'Cause I done already cursed your name
Don't matter which way you go
Payback's gonna come your way
You'll be begging me, please, please, please
And now I look at you and laugh, laugh, laugh
While you sit there and cry for me, cry for me, cry for me all night

I spend a lifetime in jail (yeah, that's what I'll do)
I'll be smiling in my cell (yeah, thinking bout you)
Can't nobody save you now
So there ain't no use in trying
Once I get my hands on you, Imma oh

Natalie ‒ she ran away with all my money
And she did it for fun
Natalie ‒ she's probably out there thinking it's funny
Telling everyone
Well, I'm digging a ditch
For this gold-digging bitch
Watch out ‒ she's quick
Look out for a pretty little thing named
Natalie ‒ if you see her tell her I'm coming
She better run

I should've known better (I should've known better)
'Cause when we were together ('Cause when we were together)
She never said forever (She never said forever)
I'm a fool that played her game, hey

Natalie ‒ she ran away with all my money
And she did it for fun
Natalie ‒ she's probably out there thinking it's funny
Telling everyone
Well, I'm digging a ditch
For this gold-digging bitch
Watch out ‒ she's quick
Look out for a pretty little thing named
Natalie ‒ if you see her tell her I'm coming
She better run

Now I have a reason to be single, Bruno Mars is ruining my name and all associated with it! I bet you don't have a reason as good as mine????
