<p><strong>The 84th Annual Academy Awards</strong> or better known as <em>The Oscars</em> will be held on February 26, 2012. It is definitely the most anticipated award show in the whole wide world.</p>
<p>It is a prestigious award giving body that gives credit to the best artists and films within the year.</p>
<p>I watch the show because I want to see which of the films I’ve watched made it to the nominees list and I want to see who wins and of course I want to see what and who the celebrities are wearing. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" /></p>
<p>This year, it will be hosted by Billy Crystal and that alone is something to look forward to. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" /> Eddie Murphy was originally supposed to host it but things happened. Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing Eddie Murphy host the Oscars too, but he was replaced with someone as awesome so I’m not so bummed out. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wlEmoticon-smile.png" /></p>

<p>If you know me, <em>chances are you do by now if you’ve been a follower of my blogs <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /> if not, OMG, you’re so lame, LOL <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile3.png" /> follow me now! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /></em>, then you know how much I love mythology and the supernatural. </p>
<p>Okay fine, I have this thing with Vampires. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /> I just love them. They are fascinating beings. I love how they have evolved through time and I love how many variations there are of vampires today, thanks to <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/twilight-saga/" target="_blank">Twilight</a> for reviving the enthusiasm of the world for these totally intriguing beings. </p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://aparoo.files.wordpress.com/2011/09/the-vampire-diaries-1.jpg" width="400" height="320" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1540"></span>
<p>So anyway, this time, I’m going to write about another one of my favorite type of vampires. They don’t shimmer in the sun but they can walk under it thanks to their witch friends. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /></p>
<p><strong>MY THOUGHTS ON THE VAMPIRE DIARIES:</strong></p>
<p>I am so totally obsessed with <strong><a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/tv-series/vampire-diaries/" target="_blank">The Vampire Diaries</a></strong>! I absolutely love the Salvatore brothers and cannot decide who should be with Elena! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /> The story revolves around the life of a girl named <strong>Elena Gilbert</strong> who lives in the mysterious town of Mystic Falls. Contrary to what she believes, she is not just a small town girl, nope, she’s something so very special that it has drawn the attention of vampires, witches and werewolves, oh and ghosts, we must not forget about the ghosts. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /> Everything unfolds slowly as the show progresses, the story is so very intriguing. It is not just a story of a love triangle between a vampire and a human. It’s a love triangle between 2 brothers and a girl. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /> So how are these vampires able to walk in the sun? Through a powerful witch’s spell of course. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /></p>
<p>&#160;</p>
<p><strong>MEET THE MAIN CHARACTERS:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Elena Gilbert – </strong>She is the heroine of the tv series. She is actually a dopelganger of the vampire <strong>Katherine Pierce</strong>, who is like her great great great grandmother. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /> She only finds out about her bloodline after a few episodes in the first season. She primarily falls in love with the vampire Stefan Salvatore, but as the series progresses, she feels confused and feels strong emotions toward Damon Salvatore as well, Stefan’s older brother. She is played by actress <strong>Nina Dobrev</strong>.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://seriesaddict.fr/images/galerie/The-Vampire-Diaries/posterSaison-2/Elena-Poster-The-Vampire-Diaries-Saison-2.jpg" width="235" height="331" /></p>
<p><strong>Katherine Pierce/Katerina Petrova</strong> – A Bulgarian beauty born in the 15th Century. She became pregnant when she was a teen and was forced to give up her baby to prevent her family from being shamed. She then runaway to England where she met Klaus and Elijah, the original vampires who believed that she was the key to breaking a curse.&#160; She became a vampire solely because she wanted to survive being sacrificed, all that will be revealed in Season 2. She only gets a mention in the first season and appears only through flashbacks of memories from both Damon and Stefan. She is the vampire who turned the Salvatore brothers. She is also played by actress <strong>Nina Dobrev</strong>.</p>
<p>As a viewer you can easily tell Katherine and Elena apart. Katherine wears her hair in lose curls, unless she’s pretending to be Elena, but you can still tell it’s her by the way she smiles, she has this naughty type of smile as opposed to Elena’s almost always worried look and sincere smile. I love Nina Dobrev because she portrays both characters so well. I love Katherine Pierce more than Elena though. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /></p>
<p><strong>Stefan Salvatore</strong> – The younger Salvatore brother. Elena and Katherine not only share a face, they also share their love for Stefan. However, in later seasons, Katherine tells Elena that she loved them both. He is a “good” vampire, only feeding on animal blood, he will so make <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/fictional-characters/the-cullens/" target="_blank"><strong>Carlisle Cullen</strong></a> proud. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /> However, he didn’t use to be like that, he used to be a blood thristy vampire and was known as the ripper as he would get crazy after feeding on human blood and would rip his victims apart, then later on, in his guilt, he would put the pieces back together. He wasn’t able to control himself until an older vampire named <strong>Lexie Branson</strong> taught him how. He is played by actor <strong>Paul Wesley</strong>.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://www.thinkhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/stephan.jpg" width="235" height="331" /></p>
<p><strong>Damon Salvatore</strong> – The older Salvatore brother. He is the cool and collected brother. Unlike Stefan, he did not lose control, however, Katherine’s love for Stefan drove him mad with jealousy which is why he acts like an asshole to cover up his pain. In the later season, you’ll love Damon more than Stefan even if he acts all tough and jerky. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout4.png" /> He is played by <strong>Ian Somerhalder </strong>who auditioned for the part of <strong>Jason Stackhouse</strong> on another vampire series, <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/2012/01/true-blood/" target="_blank">True Blood</a>, it’s a good thing he didn’t get the part, I can’t imagine someone else playing Damon! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile3.png" /></p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://www.thinkhero.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/damon.jpg" width="235" height="331" /></p>
<p><strong>Bonnie Bennett</strong> – She is Elena’s best friend and she is a witch. She thinks she is just a psychic but she later finds out that she comes from a line of powerful witches that have originated from Salem. When Caroline was turned into a vampire, she puts a spell on a ring that enables Caroline to walk in the sunlight. She is played by actress <strong>Kat Graham/Katerina Graham</strong>.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://www.canailleblog.com/photos/blogs/vampire-diaries-323091.jpg" width="235" height="311" /></p>
<p><strong>Caroline Forbes</strong> – She is the Sheriff’s daughter and also one of Elena’s best friends. She seems like an insecure bitch who is jealous of Elena at the beginning of the series but as the show progresses she becomes a better person. In Season 2, she and Tyler got into a car accident and while she was unconscious in the hospital Katherine killed her and because she had Damon’s blood in her to help her recover from the accident, she became a vampire. She is played by actress, <strong>Candace Accola</strong>.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://www.vampirediariesfree.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/CAROLINE-FORBES.jpg" width="235" height="313" /></p>
<p><strong>Tyler Lockwood</strong> – He is the son of the mayor of Mystic Falls. At the beginning of the series, he seems like your average jock, rich, sporty and an asshole. However, like everyone else in the show he matures and becomes a better person. He also finds out in Season 2 that he is a werewolf. He is played by actor <strong>Michael Trevino</strong>.</p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; border-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" border="0" src="http://vampirediaries.alloyentertainment.com/files/tvcast9big.jpg" width="235" height="312" /></p>

<p>As you very well know by now, I am a sucker for <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/twilight-saga/" target="_blank">Twilight</a>. The films are not as good as the books, but <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/actors/taylor-lautner/" target="_blank">Taylor Lautner</a> makes it all worth it. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout3.png" /> Oh and one more thing that makes it awesome is the soundtrack. The Twilight soundtrack is awesome! I love all the songs on all the movies! I can’t decide which is the best just yet.. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout3.png" /></p>
<p>Music Monday is the perfect meme to showcase the awesome music in the soundtrack. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile2.png" /> This song is a collaboration between <strong>Beck Hansen</strong> and <strong>Bat for Lashes</strong>.</p>

<p>For those of you who don’t know, <strong>Beck Hansen, </strong>commonly known as just <strong>Beck</strong>, is an American musician who became famous in the late 1990’s and throughout the 2000’s. He’s most famous song is entitled “Loser”, I’m sure you know it, it goes, <em>“Soy un perdedor, I&#8217;m a loser baby, so why don&#8217;t you kill me?”</em>. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile2.png" /></p>
<p><strong>Natasha Khan</strong> is an English musician more commonly known by her stage name, <strong>Bat for Lashes</strong>. I’ve never personally heard of her until hearing her collaboration with Beck, but I think she’s pretty famous in the UK. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smile1.png" /></p>

<p>Lucas loves music. If you’ve been a follower of my blogs, then you’ve probably seen one of his videos pretending to play a musical instrument and singing along to whatever beat he has created. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout2.png" /></p>
<p>You all know how much he loves Justin Bieber right? He loves him so much, he even likes Selena Gomez. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile1.png" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1526"></span>
<p>When we were in Manila, he couldn’t help himself. He just had to pick up one of my brother’s <a href="http://www.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-electric-guitars">electric acoustic guitar</a> and tried to play it, my brother almost had a heart attack <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout2.png" />, so he quickly took the electric guitar from Lucas but replaced it with another guitar. Electric acoustic guitars are a lot more expensive that a regular guitar. It has something to do with the kind of music that it plays, I have no idea. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout2.png" /></p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_2777" border="0" alt="IMG_2777" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_2777.jpg" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>As you can see, the guitar is much too big for him. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout2.png" /> Inasmuch as I want to buy him a guitar for his birthday this year, I can’t seem to find one that will suit him. I don’t think he’s too young to learn a musical instrument, I think he’ll love to learn how to actually play it. On the picture above, he was strumming the guitar and humming along to it. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smile.png" /> I definitely want him to pursue his love for music and maybe one day, I will be like Justin Bieber’s mom, super proud and super rich! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile1.png" /> LOL. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile1.png" /></p>

<p>I have been watching quite a lot of <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/2012/01/true-blood/" target="_blank"><strong>True Blood</strong></a> lately. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout1.png" /> Why? Because I am hooked and because I have the complete series on hand, why not watch it? <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout1.png" /> I only have one episode of season 4 to watch and I am contemplating whether I should watch it now or at least wait until Season 5 airs in June. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout1.png" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1513"></span>
<p>I don’t think I’ll be able to wait that long, but I just have to finish season 4 already! I keep dreaming about what I want to happen and how I want it to end, but you know it never works out quite that way, especially since there is another season, which means they will end it with you wanting more. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout1.png" /></p>
<p>I also can’t watch it now because my speakers gave up on me. I don’t know about you, but when I watch my tv shows, I want it to be loud. Not loud enough to disturb anyone else, but loud enough that I can drown myself and really get into the show, you know? I don’t want to hear anything except the characters’ voices and everything else on the show. Yes, I’m obsessive that way. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout1.png" /></p>
<p>The wire of my speakers are cut, I don’t know what happened, but I suppose it’s a good thing because now I have a reason to buy the <a href="http://www.thesource.ca/estore/category.aspx?language=en-CA&amp;catalog=Online&amp;category=Wireless+Speakers">wireless speakers</a> I have been eyeing in the mall for quite sometime now. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout1.png" /></p>
<p><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="IMG_3510" border="0" alt="IMG_3510" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/IMG_3510.jpg" width="300" height="400" /></p>
<p>These speakers are fairly old, I got them back in 2003 as part of my desktop then. It’s pretty old, but it still works great, but now that the wire has been cut, it caused a spark and a slight boom, and that is something I just can’t ignore. I don’t want to cause a fire and I certainly don’t want to get electrocuted. I’m definitely going to go wireless this time. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout1.png" /></p>

<p>If you don’t know what True Blood is… OMG! <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-surprisedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-surprisedsmile.png" alt="Surprised smile" /> Get out from under that rock and read something! <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> LOL! <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" alt="Open-mouthed smile" /></p>
<p>Okay, granted that you don’t have cable or perhaps you have “no time”, I’m going to tell you what <strong>True Blood</strong> is.</p>
<p><img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="http://www.trueblood-online.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/postertrueblood.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1509"></span></p>
<p>True Blood is an HBO Original Series based on the novels “The Southern Vampire Mysteries” by Charlaine Harris.</p>
<p>It revolves around the life of Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic girl working as a waitress in a bar in Bon Temps, Louisiana. If you like vampires, werewolves, witches, shifters and everything mystical like me, then you will most definitely love this series.</p>
<p>MY THOUGHTS ON TRUE BLOOD:</p>
<p>The first time I saw this was during the hype of <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/twilight-saga/" target="_blank"><strong>Twilight</strong></a>, I was already a fan of <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/tv-series/vampire-diaries/" target="_blank"><strong>The Vampire Diaries</strong></a> then and so I was like, what the hell? Another vampire-human love story? Great. <img src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons6/29.gif" alt="8-|" /></p>
<p>Then I saw the vampires and their fangs and I thought. Hmm, intriguing, retractable, misplaced fangs. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> The misplaced fangs irked me a bit at first, cause I was like, no way, but then again, it’s retractable, so yeah, in time I thought it was cool too. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /></p>
<p>As I watched through the entire first season, I was like, “OMG, this is so NOT your typical cutesy vampire-human love triangle sort of thing. It was extreme! Complete with curse words and very hot sex scenes. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" alt="Open-mouthed smile" /> The story line is very unique too, not like <strong>The Vampire Diaries</strong> and definitely nothing like <strong>Twilight</strong>. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" alt="Open-mouthed smile" /></p>
<p><strong>MEET THE MAIN CHARACTERS</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Sookie Stackhouse</strong> – The main character of the series. She works as a waitress at Merlotte’s. She is a telepath and vampires just find her oozing with sex appeal, why? Because she’s special. How Special you ask? Well, you’ll find out in Season 2. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" alt="Open-mouthed smile" /> She is played by actress <strong>Anna Paquin</strong>. I don’t know if she’s always had that gap in her tooth, but I can’t imagine Sookie without it. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /></p>

<p><strong>Bill Compton</strong> – If James Bond was from the South and was a vampire, he’d be Bill Compton. LOL. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> He’s debonair and smooth and intriguing at the same time. However, he’s no <strong>Edward Cullen</strong>, he definitely has a dark side and embraces it, but does he truly love Sookie? Or is he after her because she’s “special”? He is played by actor <strong>Stephen Moyer</strong>. No doubt that Stephen Moyer makes one hot vampire, if only he was taller. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /></p>

<p><strong>Sam Merlotte</strong> – The owner of Merlotte’s where Sookie works as a waitress. He’s not just your average bar owner, he is a <strong>Shape Shifter</strong>, like <strong><a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/category/actors/taylor-lautner/" target="_blank">Jacob Black</a></strong> from <strong>Twilight</strong>, only cooler because he can shift into any animal he wants, not restricted to just one animal like Jacob. He is in-love with Sookie, everyone knows it but he still thinks it’s a secret. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> He usually transforms into a Collie when he wants to <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">stalk</span> watch over Sookie. He is played by actor <strong>Sam Trammel</strong>. He’s super hot, I think it’s safe to assume all shifters are hot. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> LOL. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" alt="Open-mouthed smile" /></p>

<p><strong>Eric Northman</strong> – A Viking Prince turned into a vampire and is now a Vampire Sheriff in Louisiana. He owns <strong>Fangtasia</strong>, a vampire-human bar where people and vampires go to get wasted and laid. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> He is cruel, manipulative and yet super hot. Inasmuch as I love to hate him, I can’t I just love him! I like Vampire Bill, but I like Eric better. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> Raise your hand if you agree! <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> He is played by actor <strong>Alexander Skarsgård </strong>who is just super hot! <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /></p>

<p><strong>Jason Stackhouse – </strong>The very definition of a jock. Super hot but stupid. LOL. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" alt="Open-mouthed smile" /> In the first season, he gets blamed for murders because of his appetite for sex and somehow the women he’s had sex with winds up strangled to death. Later on, it is revealed that the only mistake he did was getting it on with several women at a time. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> He has a lot of libido in him and he is not afraid to show it. However, as the show progresses he does as well, and in the latest seasons, he is more mature and less stupid. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout.png" alt="Smile with tongue out" /> LOL. <img class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" style="border-style: none;" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile.png" alt="Open-mouthed smile" /> He is played by actor <strong>Ryan Kwanten</strong>.</p>

<p>You love your action games. And why shouldn’t you? World of Warcraft, Voltron, and all of those other military and espionage games, shooter, and fighting games are fun to play. But are you getting the best gaming experience? If you aren’t playing on a high-definition TV, chances are you are missing out on a lot of the fun that can be had with these games.</p>
<p><span id="more-1497"></span><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; margin-left: auto; border-left-width: 0px; margin-right: auto; padding-top: 0px" border="0" alt="World of Warcraft 2009" src="http://farm4.staticflickr.com/3063/3539671284_64fe997a3a.jpg" width="400" height="300" />

<h5><font color="#ffffff">What Kind of TV Is Best</font></h5>
<p><font color="#ffffff">If you are a serious gamer, you need a decent TV. To get the full effect that comes from the action and the fighting, you definitely want to see everything in high definition. Some of the best TVs for gaming are:</font></p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><font color="#ffffff">Plasma. A plasma TV is excellent for gaming. Plus, if you ever get tired of playing your game, you can watch some football on a TV like this as well. This is the best TV for handling fast video motion. However, a plasma TV does tend to have a reflection on the screen, so if that’s going to bother you, move on to the next TV on the list.</font></p>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>
<p><font color="#ffffff">LCD. A large screen, flat panel LCD is also a great option for gaming. The high response rate ensures that no critical game details are missed.</font></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p><font color="#ffffff">You could choose another type of TV out on the market, but a plasma or an LCD is going to be your best bet for an optimal gaming experience.</font></p>
<h5><font color="#ffffff">Buying a New TV</font></h5>
<p><font color="#ffffff">Now that you’ve made the decision to move on with a new TV, you may be wondering how to buy the TV. The fact of the matter is that a good TV, one that will give you the best gaming experience, is going to cost money. You may have saved up for this purchase, but if you haven’t, there are still options. The best option if you don’t have the upfront cash to pay for a new TV is to go the lease-to-own option. Using a website like, <u><a href="https://www.presta.com/">www.presta.com</a></u>, you can get an excellent TV, without paying interest, to play all of your games on. Unlike putting your new purchase on a credit card, you’ll pay zero interest with lease-to-own and you won’t have to put a lot of money upfront.</font></p>
<p> <img style="display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto" alt="mustitalia-flat-screen-tv-frames-art" src="http://farm3.staticflickr.com/2559/3711431170_a3e2a45518.jpg" width="400" height="327" />
<p align="center">Photo by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/39829705@N05/3711431170/" target="_blank">rorinabila</a> via Flicker.</p>
<p>For the gamer, the right TV is of the utmost importance. Choose wisely and make a purchase based on your gaming needs. Be sure to consider your level of game play and your lifestyle before you make the big purchase.</p>

<p>I love shopping online. There is a wide array of choices and you can be sure that you will find whatever it is that you are looking for with just a few strokes on the keyboard. The best part of online shopping? There is no crowd! You won’t have to fight with another lady for the last piece of a specific size of shoe or have to rush in order to secure a pair of those really great jeans that fit you so well but had to wait at the last minute because you were busy contemplating whether you truly want to buy it or not. Phew! Shopping is therapeutic but it can be so very tiring as well! That is precisely one reason why I love online shopping. I can shop online without having to rush because I want to avoid the crowd and the long lines at the register. The down side, however, it the fact that it can be quite difficult to stop! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout6.png" /></p>
<p>Anyway, today, items that you can buy online are not limited to just clothes, shoes and accessories. These days you can also <a href="http://www.nimanranch.com/steaks-online.aspx" target="_blank">buy steaks online</a>. If you buy meat in a reputable online meat store, you can be assured that you will get the quality of the meat that you have ordered. Most meat sold online are also organic meat, which means the animals used were raised to eat only fresh veggies and not some processed food, which means they are very healthy which means their meat tastes delicious and it is very good for you. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile5.png" /></p>
<p>So, what have you bought online lately? <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smile3.png" /></p>

<p>For Christmas this year, our friend’s mom gave <strong>B</strong> and <strong>I</strong> concert tickets to a show of 3 of the best bands in the Philippines. It was definitely one of the best gifts I have ever gotten for Christmas! <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /> B and I are so very grateful. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /></p>
<p>Both of us were fans of the bands that were going to perform, so we were both super excited. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile4.png" /> The last concert we went to was <a href="http://www.ane-tv.com/2011/02/john-ford-coley-and-fra-lippo-lippi/">Fra Lippo Lippi and John Ford Coley</a>’s concert back in February. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /></p>
<p><span id="more-1487"></span>
<p>The show was opened by a group of Filipino dancers, who performs in Hong Kong. I forgot their name, but they were okay. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /></p>
<p>Then <strong>Freestyle</strong> was the first to perform. It is a rock and R&amp;B band that was really popular in the late 1990’s. I was waiting for them to sing So Slow, it was one of their hits then, but they opted to sing popular pop songs as well as a medley of Michael Jackson’s songs. They did sing <strong>Before I Let You Go</strong>, which was one of their hits back in the day. Check it out. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /></p>

<p>And then it was South Border’s turn. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile4.png" /></p>
<p>I am a huge fan of the band <strong>South Border</strong>. It is a pop and R&amp;B band that is really popular here in the Philippines. However, I became very busy with my life and I have not been keeping tabs on them. The last time I heard, <strong>Luke Mijares</strong> left the group. He was he second vocalist of the band replacing original vocalist, <strong>Brix Ferraris</strong>. When Brix left the group everyone thought it would be the end for South Border, but Luke came in and the people loved him. When he left there were other vocalists who replaced him, I have no idea who they were. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /> How does South Border manage to still be one of the best bands in the Philippines despite the fact that their vocalists seem to leave them every time, you ask? <strong>Jay Durias</strong>. The band’s keyboard player and vocalist. He is also a song writer. As long as he is in the band and he keeps making awesome songs, I doubt South Border will go south even if their vocalists keep changing. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /></p>
<p>Have a listen at how awesome South Border is. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /></p>

<p><strong>Side A</strong> was the last to perform. I suppose it has something to do with age? <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /> Youngest to oldest? <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /> LOL. I do love a few of their songs, but I am not particularly a fan. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /> I think the lead vocals, <strong>Joey Generoso</strong>, has turned gay? <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /> NOt that there’s anything wrong with that of course, but I remember girls swooning over him back in the early 1990’s. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /> It’s just a surprise, that’s all. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile" alt="Open-mouthed smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-openmouthedsmile4.png" /> Anyway, here’s one of their most popular songs ever. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /></p>

<p>B and I didn’t watch the concert all the way through because number 1, it was so freaking cold! and we were starving because we headed straight for the concert right after B got of work because we didn’t want to be late and have crappy seats. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout" alt="Smile with tongue out" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smilewithtongueout5.png" /> We did get great seats, like the view was great and all, but OMG we were seated among the most annoying people you’ll ever get the displeasure of seating with. You know the type, the group who keeps talking and who keeps moving on their seats and who keeps blocking your view. Ugh. So annoying. But they were easily ignored because I was with B and the night couldn’t have been more perfect. <img style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-right-style: none" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-smile" alt="Smile" src="http://ane-tv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/wlEmoticon-smile2.png" /></p>
