How I met Your Mother
Sunday, May 21, 2006

A corny line like that might sounds ridiculous and awful, and would probably never be said it out loud from a mouth of a Asian father or any conservative minded dad..
Corny? Cheesy? Funny? Meaningful? well hell yeah.. As many of you who havent gotten married yet or going to, would you or will you ever spend time telling the stories of how you and your partner got together to your offsprings? Would you? Will you? (well, i understand here that some of you prefer not having kids, but the question here is, hypothetically, IF you have children)

Personally, i love kids, i like seeing them slugging around with their innocent little figure and charming pair of eyes. And so, i believe that i m gonna have kids when i m commited and stuffs like that.. So, when they grown one day.. maybe during their mid teenage life.. around 14-16 let say.. and let's just assume that if i have 2 kids, 1 boy 1 girl.. would i one day, forcefully happily gather them around down in the living hall, without the presence of the mother, sit down calmly and share with them the stories about how i patch up with this wonderful angel that then gave birth to them?

Well.. it's rather awkward thinking bout stuffs like that.. n trust me.. i m not being desperate or horny at the moment or.. being psychotic about the commitment thing or whatever..i m enjoying being single right now.. (disclaimer: uh hmm uh hmm, I am still single and available *insert charming smile and the spark on my teeth). So, till now.. many of you would ask.. what the hell is wrong with me? the answer for that question is simple, I am all crazy bout this american made high tech visual simulation feat, a.k.a a sitcome with continuing storylines, namely "how I met your mother".

**Spoiler-free, so you do not need to skip this blog if you decided to watch it later (you need to download tho, or so i heard they are showing it in Melbourne TV)

"How I Met Your Mother" (2005) is a comedy about Ted (Josh Radnor) and how he fell in love. The series is narrated through flashbacks from the future, 2030, about how Ted decided to share his love stories with his children (1 boy, 1 girl). It all starts when Ted's best friend, Marshall (Jason Segal), drops the bombshell that he's going to propose (engagement only) to his long-time girlfriend, Lily (Alyson Hannigan), a kindergarten teacher. At that moment, Ted realizes that he had better get a move on if he too hopes to find true love. Helping him in his quest is Barney (Neil Patrick Harris), a friend with endless, sometimes outrageous opinions, a penchant for suits and a foolproof way to meet women. When Ted meets Robin (Cobie Smulders), he's sure it's love at first sight, but destiny may have something else in store.

Ted, remarkably a typical blur type man with a humorous but persistent attitude towards love.. and obviously he possessed skills of telling stories that hook you right on.. Gosh.. i cant believe i finished 22 episodes of this story telling thing.. It would be cliche and most of the time boring for a man to share his love experiences and whatever.. but hey, after 22 epds (roughly 25 mins per epd, 25x22= 550 mins, = 9 hrs and 10 minutes) of storying telling.. i m still with him!! this shows that how good this serie is.. As some of you might know that... i m not a big fan of this kinda sitcom or whatever series thing.. (cept for anime) but this one is simply a killer.. (thanks mindy for suggesting this up, and jason for downloading it using our cap.. )

This serie simply rox, as it pre-packed with on-going intellectual jokes, alongside with remarkably classic lame jokes, and cleverly crafted plots and screenplays. It's without a doubt that this serie is kinda starting to have a lil bit of influence of my life.. not so much of life changing.. but a shift bit of usage of slogans, tagwords or metaphors.. like, "this is Leeeggeeennddarrrryyyyyy.."

Moreso, it's quite educational in a way that.. the serie also included many hilarious way of picking up girls.. (Mostly invented by Barney in the show) tho most of the time the strategies wont work.. but it's kinda fun if you actually have the chance to try it on somebody.. haha.. well.. for some strange reason.. i kinda feel like this Barney character in the show, to some extend shared the similar channel of jokes with me.. well.. wee fairbit.. at least the lameo part.. and his tendency to challenge something stupid and dareable (is there such a word? oh well i can just made it up)

Anyway, to sum up.. this is a good show to catch up whenever you can.. it helps in releasing stress, and hell yeah it's funny.. oh and yea, it's still on-going.. as they've just recently released epd 22 on 15th of may or something.. so.. yeah.. still few more to go.. i suppose..

oh well.. signing off now..
