Desperate Housewives

I am an avid fan of this drama. aired every mondays, 10pm. never failed to return home early to watch it. i remembered there was one time i was rushing home to watch, only to realise that 'supply unable to meet demand'. in our household, there were 3tv sets. but only ONE is working. and that night, everyone was pressing 3 different channels' buttons frantically. amazing right? so i went to the living room hoping to watch it despite the distored images. my mum was furious. she said: "everyone is having fun snatching each other's channel 'in harmony' and you strangely choose to behave as a loner, sitting here to watch a tv set which isn't working." Sigh... watch tv programme also kena. anyway, just wanna share how crazy i was for the show in the beginning.

but ever since i took up this language course, and unfortunately for me, it falls on monday because i couldnt schedule it on other days as i have other classess to attend on tuesdays, thursdays and fridays. and so my 'desperate night' would have to be sacrificed. alright, better stop grumbling.

so last night, it was said to be the finale. but a not so great ending. there was an abrupt end. felt that it wasnt complete. hope there would be a season 2. nonetheless, these housewives, i wouldn't consider them desperate by nature. but literally, developed this 'characteristic' due to their husbands infidelities. (but not all 5) i think desperation is not something inborne but something created due to external factors. depends how u look at it actually. the saying goes, ' it takes two to clap'. Bree loved her family, loved her husband and loved to create this perfect setting and style for everyone in the family. she would use housework to cover her sadness, and pretend as nothing has ever happened. her husband had a weird taste for sex and bree later realised that her husband went elsewhere to satisfy this 'unique thirst'. she was devasted and upset and vowed to do the same to her husband. but time and time again, she proved otherwise. forgiving what the husband had did and continued to love him. but it was only when the husband had a heart attack, her husband rex knew that it wasn't quite true afterall. he was alright before the operation but when the doctor announced some shocking news about his diet which could lead to the situation he is in right now, he left a note: Bree, i understand. and i forgive. and with that he passed away. The hospital rang her and told her the bad news. she sounded calm as usual. and even continued to polish her cutlery after the call. but when she was done with it, she just broke down and cried.
yeah, its hard to control your tears and emotions when you have lost someone you loved. it could never be easy to cope no matter how strong you can be. and the other housewife. the sexy gabrielle. she realised that her husband no longer pay attention to her and eventually seek excitement through an extra marital affair. but this will eventually cost her marriage.
the morale of the story is no matter how you choose to love or hate the partner, you will need to know the consequences of whatever actions you decide to take. for you know that, we are all DIFFERENT. God made us different from one another and so that's why opposites attract. positive with negative.
