In Grey's Name

Watching a TV series has become my habit. When I was younger, and there's no cable channels yet, tagalog soap operas kept me locked in on the tube from afternoon till around 9pm. Thanks to modern technology and human influence, my reason for lying in bed while my TV is on has not been brought only by tagalog teleseryes..but english TV series too.

A lot of TV series have gone by. As a kid, I used to watch Full House. When I stepped into my teens, Beverly Hills 90210 caught my eye. Now, in my mid-20s, Im terribly hooked up with Heroes and GREY's ANATOMY. Not to mention, teleseryes still make my day.

More than the characters, its the script that's so well written that makes a series worth watching. That's how I felt for Grey's Anatomy. Or maybe, just because that in some instances I can relate to the stories. Whatever the case is, I am definitely sure that they have numerous winning moments and lines that can be used and remembered. The drama and complications of life, worse than a disease.

During the King's birthday, my girlfriends Maan and Anne Marie and I drove to Sihanoukville. We are having a GIRL's Weekend Trip. Yebah! We checked in a beach front hotel thinking that their cable TV has star world. But NO!! Literally NO!! How can we watch Grey's Anatomy the next day? But we can't ruin our weekend with that, right? So.....

We hang out at Ocheateal beach. It was neither bad nor good. Aside from eating seafood, which we all love to do, we just stayed under the sun but didn't swim. At the end of the day, when we planned on going out to a Ladyboy's Night party, we ended up trapped in our beds and eating chips and chocolate at midnight.

The next day, after realizing that we didn't have a decent dinner the night before, we went to another seafood restaurant. Driving to the place, we remembered that it was Grey's Anatomy night and its the season finale. " We have to find a place with STAR WORLD". And so, we passed by Sokha Hotel--4 Star Hotel in Sihanoukville. Right after lunch, we went to the hotel and checked for available rooms. Luckily, they have standard rooms at the annex hotel. We didn't mind the price but asked "do you have Star WORLD in your TV?" Of course, what do you expect? They don't know or dont even care about it. I was trying to be discreet about this but a hotel visitor who was checking out heard my inquiry and told me "YES, there's STAR WORLD". "Thanks" was all I can say. In 5 minutes, we paid for a night stay and went back to our other hotel, packed our things and checked out. We were so excited.

As soon as we got our new hotel keys, we rushed to our room and immediately turned on the TV and searched for STAR WORLD. And what did we find? NOTHING. NADA. AT MIEN. WALA. waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! We paid $xx amount for a night and there's no star world? No Grey's Anatomy? Does the main hotel's cable TV has Star World? AHA!! We rushed off to the hotel lobby and cafe, checked their TV but still there's no Star World.

A bit, well not just a bit dissapointed. I just want to kill the guy who told me that there's Star World but he already left. We can't do anything about it. We just agreed on enjoying our last night there coz we all know that we deserve a decent relaxation, even if it costs us an arm and leg.

We had wine at the pool, had dinner at the hotel lobby with 1 round of cocktails and girl's talk the whole time. IT WAS FUN!!

As soon as we arrived the city, we bought a full DVD series of Grey's Anatomy, watched it with wine on our hands.

As another season closes, another weekend passed by. I hope our next all girl's weekend would be better.
