Think it through next time.
Here are some of my favorite lines from the first episode of Sherlock, A Study in Pink.
————————————–
John: You asked me to come, I’m assuming it’s important.
Sherlock: Oh – yeah, of course. Can I borrow your phone?
John: My phone?
Sherlock: Always a chance that my number will be recognised. It’s on the website.
John: Mrs Hudson’s got a phone.
Sherlock: Yeah, she’s downstairs. I tried shouting but she didn’t hear.
John: I was on the other side of London…
Sherlock: There was no hurry.
————————————–
Sherlock: What’s wrong?
John: Just met a friend of yours.
Sherlock: A friend?
John: An enemy.
Sherlock: Oh. Which one?
John: Well, your arch-enemy, according to him. Do people have arch-enemies?
Sherlock: Did he offer you money to spy on me?
John: Yes.
Sherlock: Did you take it?
John: No.
Sherlock: Pity, we could have split the fee. Think it through next time.
Hurray for Lestrade!
Sherlock: Anderson, what are YOU doing here on a drugs bust?
Anderson: Oh, I volunteered.
Lestrade: They all did. They’re not strictly speaking ON the drug squad, but they’re very keen.
————————————–
Sherlock: Shut up, everybody! Don’t speak, don’t breathe. I’m trying to think. Anderson, face the other way. You’re putting me off.
Anderson: What? My FACE is?!
Lestrade: Everybody quiet and still. Anderson, turn your back.
Anderson: Oh, for God’s sake!
Lestrade: Your back, now, please!
What a bad cabbie.
Sherlock: Are you all right?
John: Yes, of course I’m all right.
Sherlock: Well, you have just killed a man.
John: Yes, that’s true. But he wasn’t a very nice man.
Sherlock: No. No, he wasn’t, really, was he?
Frankly a bloody awful cabbie.
Sherlock: (chuckles) That’s true, he was a bad cabbie. You should have seen the route he took us to get here.
John: Stop it! We can’t giggle, it’s a crime scene. Stop it.
Sherlock: Well, you’re the one who shot him.
John: Keep your voice down.
I want to meet their mummy!
And my favorite part of the entire show… the conversation between Sherlock, John, and the guy I first thought was Moriarty, but turned out to be Mycroft. Classic!
————————————–
Mycroft: So… Another case cracked. How very public-spirited. Though that’s never really your motivation, is it?
Sherlock: What are you doing here?
Mycroft: As ever, I’m concerned about you.
Sherlock: Yes, I’ve been hearing about your “concern”.
Mycroft: Always so aggressive. Did it never occur to you that you and I belong on the same side?
Sherlock: Oddly enough – no.
Mycroft: We have more in common than you’d like to believe. This petty feud between us is simply childish. People will suffer. And you know how it always upset Mummy.
Sherlock: (increduously) I upset her? Me? It wasn’t me that upset her, Mycroft.
John: No. No, wait… Mummy? Who’s Mummy?
Sherlock: Mother. Our mother. This is my brother, Mycroft.(to Mycroft) Putting on weight again?
Mycroft: Losing it, in fact.
John: He’s your brother?
Sherlock: Course he’s my brother.
John: So he’s not…
Sherlock: Not what?
John: I don’t know… Criminal mastermind?
Sherlock: Close enough.
Mycroft: For goodness’ sake. I occupy a minor position
in the British government.
Sherlock: He IS the British government, when he’s not too busy being the British secret service or the CIA on a freelance basis. (to Mycroft) Good evening, Mycroft. Try not to start a war before I get home, you know what it does for the traffic.
John: (to Mycroft) So, when you say you’re concerned about him – you actually are concerned?
Mycroft: Yes, of course.
John: I mean, it actually is a childish feud?
Mycroft: He’s always been so resentful. You can imagine the Christmas dinners.
John: Yeah… No… God, no.
SHERLOCK: My New Obsession 25 January 2012

I now have a new obsession – BBC’s Sherlock. It’s one of the smartest shows I’ve seen in a long time, and I was smiling nearly the whole time I watched the first episode. I can’t really explain what it is about this show that I love so much – after all, I’m usually a bit of a purist whenever it comes to adapting my favorite books to movies or shows. In theory, I should have hated this completely – this is a Sherlock Holmes in the 21st century, this is a Sherlock Holmes that sends texts instead of telegrams, and rides cabs instead of hansoms. The story of A Study in Pink is only very, very loosely based on A Study in Scarlet. But what can I say? This is just… genius. Perhaps it is because while watching the show, I really get the feeling that the writers and creators have such respect and reverence for the original Sherlock Holmes stories written by the great Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The stories may be different, but these are the characters that fans have always known and loved. Benedict Cumberbatch is Sherlock Holmes, and Martin Freeman is John Watson.
The only thing I hate about this show is that each series only has 3 episodes, and we don’t know yet when the next series will be out. I hope it comes out really, really soon. Till then, I’ll be re-watching the past 6 episodes again and again.
PARAMORE Live in SINGAPORE 2011 22 August 2011
Posted by Admin in Paramore, Paramore Live in Singapore.add a comment
I’m so glad I got to see Paramore again, in Singapore this time, and minus drummer Zac Farro. When I first saw them in Manila last year, Josh Farro wasn’t with them because he was too busy planning his wedding.
Here are some of the things I remember about the concert:
1) The Indoor Stadium wasn’t really packed, but maybe that’s because the venue is too huge.
2) They started with Ignorance, one of their catchiest songs.
3) They sang Decode quite early in the show, unlike in Manila where they reserved it towards the end.
4) They had an acoustic set, which included Misguided Ghosts.
5) Hayley was wearing a strange pair of black and white leggings, as in one side is black, the other is white.
6) They did not perform My Heart. Again. I’m losing hope of ever seeing them perform it live, especially with Josh-the-growler gone.
7) I thought Brick by Boring Brick was their encore, but surprisingly they closed the show with an older hit, Misery Business.
My Top 3 Favorite Performances from DUETS (Glee Season 2 Episode 4) 16 October 2010
Posted by Admin in FAVORITE VIDEOS, Glee.add a comment
1. SING! by Mike and Tina. I didn’t really think that Mike had it in him to do a bit of comedy, but this was so hilarious. The dancing was amazing as always.
2. LUCKY by Sam and Quinn. Of course, one of the reasons is that this is one of my favorite songs of all time (I even used it in my wedding). As Santana said, this is just so freaking charming. The song suits both their voices as well.
3. HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN / GET HAPPY by Rachel and Kurt. This was the first time I heard the song, but there is just something so classic and catchy about this song.
My Top 3 Favorite Performances from GRILLED CHEESUS (Glee Season 2 Episode 3) 10 October 2010

1. I WANT TO HOLD YOUR HAND by Kurt. First, because I love this song and second, because Kurt really does justice on this arrangement. It’s heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, especially with the vignettes showing a young Kurt. By the way, the resemblance between Kurt and his young version is really freaky. I hope we get to see more of him in succeeding episodes.
2. LOSING MY RELIGION by Finn. I’ve never really seen him this angst-ridden before.
3. I LOOK TO YOU by Mercedes. It’s not my favorite song, nor is it my favorite Mercedes performance, but I didn’t really like any of the other songs that much so I’m picking this for my #3 spot. I wish they gave Tina and Quinn more backup parts though.
