tv : the dumb-box!

isn't it funny how Oprah can be both inspirational and depressing at the same time?
i see all these people who are special in some way and they are so strong about it, goin on with life in the best way that they can and not compalining though they might be lacking a leg, an arm or both. but still they preservere and watching them makes me ashamed of the minude things we make a fuss over and the many things we take for granted.

we complain about zits and frown, some ppl x have a face or rather have reconstructed faces and they still can smile.

we complain about doing work, some ppl have lost their hands and use prosthetics to even take care of their babies.

we complain about walking a distance, some people would give their all to be able to do that.

we complain that we're havin a bad hair day, some people have their whole bodies full of hair that can't b covered with a cap

thats why i don't watch Oprah, you see, i get depressed. then i get some sort of a "survivor guilt" for being blessed and it progresses to me being anxious over the uncertainties the future holds. i've always thought of myself having a bright, spotless future, but i bet that's wt all those ppl thought till their lifes got turned 360 degrees.

haiz! i need to find other things to do than watch tv. maybe i'll go watch E! that's a no-brainer, no-depression, no-anxiety channel.

oh and might i add that watching the BIGGEST LOSER has made me opt for carrot stix instead of chocs. i can't say my fwenz are gonna be too happy if i start counting the calory value for everythin i eat...see why i shouldn't be watching all these shows? i absorb it and then its stuck in my head!sheesh!
