And the love affair is now on its 6th season run. A relationship that long only means I know perfectly everything there is to know about Grey's Anatomy. Until recently.
Since grade school I was already an avid fan of American series. There's just something about the formula that I find very effective and hypnotizing. The well-written, thought-provoking, laugh-inducing, tear-bearing script that goes perfectly with songs that have ultimately became the soundtrack of my life. Just sitting by the TV and watching each episode is enough to fulfill my day. Think a day with Rory and Lorelai, watching courtside at an OTH game and walking the halls of Constance. It's a habit you can't kick.
Back to Grey's...Katz did this to me. Yes, you, Mana! I remember back in College she just said, "Vips...you should try watching Grey's Anatomy. Grabeee. I know you'll love it." And the rest is TV history. Meredith and Derek shaped my formative years. hahaha! Finally I found other "people" I can relate to regarding my unconventional views on life. No perfect endings. No life-according-to-plan plots. Just the messy, real-life dilemmas. I guessed that's the best part of it. You are presented with human situations you can relate to.
Recently Janie has been my Grey's ka-kwentuhan. It's the only thing that keeps us both sane when work is too much to handle! hehe! Just a month ago, she sent me this link where I can read about what goes on behind every episode as told by the writers. It's heaven. Shonda's heaven. When you think watching the episodes can move you already, wait 'till you start reading the blog. Imagine a room full of writers brainstorming, writing and reading the scripts together. If only I can be part of it kahit one session lang of their writers' table-read.
Hence, I have a new ultimate dream: to be in the same room where people write brilliant, life-changing episodes for a living. Thank you Shonda for an amazing Grey's and giving me a new reason to strive harder. :)
