One Tree Hill

Woah, I am doing a TV show review now? Wahaha. Wow, this is something. And imagine I thought paper reviews they want us to pass in our English subjects in school before sucks. And now I’m doing it without any grade to look forward to…

Hours after watching some episodes from Season 3, I found myself looking forward to be watching more of this series (add it to my collection of want-to-watch DVDs). I am liking it not just for it’s stars (although it is a show full of beautiful people) but more of its story, lots of twists on every character, with life’s lessons presented on every episode. Story was about teens, in high school, (they are just 17 but I feel they were way more mature than me) and for such young ages, their lives involved lots of challenges and every character shows different approaches to certain life situations. Plus it has a good soundtrack (my kind of music). Anyway, among its characters, Peyton (it is spelled that way on the DVD) particularly was my favorite, I don’t know but for some reason I got a certain eye on her story (yes, she’s a girl). It’s not that we shared some same experiences; it’s not as if my life is as complicated as hers. From the episodes I saw, I realized that how good of a daughter and a best friend she was. And maybe I like her character because she was the least bitchy of all the girls there. And given their situations, maybe she was the most I see myself of becoming when faced with such deals. For one, she was involved in a love triangle with her best friend and previous special someone (played by Chad Michael Murray) who is currently involved with her best friend. She tries her best to move on, had had her share of some other special someone (even an encounter with a famous rock star) but her feelings for the boy kept floating through. There was this time when there was a deranged kid at school who brought a gun with him and she was shot, Chad came to her rescue, she was losing much blood, and she thought she was dying. And with that situation, something just came out and she asked him, “If I tell you I love you right now, would you kiss me?” something like that. Chad kissed him but stated after that, “You know this kiss means nothing as I am very much in love with your best friend right now”. It was a romantic, but ouch moment, and although I know it wasn’t right as Chad was now with her best friend, my sympathy was still with her. It was the only chance she got again with him and I admire her courage that time and after when it was all over. And just when she thought she was over him, was away to pursue another guy and proposed to him, her feelings for Chad just slipped out and she murmured his name with “I love you” in her sleep. She went back and after hiding her feelings from everybody, she just had some courage to be honest to her best friend that she may still have feelings for Chad, but has no plans on pursuing it.

Bottom line, I love the courage and honesty of her character, the way she handles herself in some of her love problems and I just wish I had that some personality in me so I may be able to tell people how much I love them before they are gone. And that I can handle rejection the way she does so I can learn how to be a strong person inside and out. I just feel that sometimes I see things the ideal way that I hate to try things that I am unsure of. Fearing of failure, criticisms and rejection. Afraid of trying. Is there a term for that? As they say, “Try and try until you succeed”. Maybe I could start by living up with that motto, with the motivation that I have to try things as I don’t want to regret not knowing what might have been if I didn’t. As I still making sense here? Hay. Wahaha. Cheesy.

(Just finished watching Season 4, and yeah, he got the boy..)
