"I'll Be There For You"

ring a bell? of cuz, the theme of our beloved F.R.I.E.N.D.S.. n it finally ends tomorrow. its bein so hyped up, i think ive watched 3 hrs worth of recaps n exclusives in the past 2 days. an hr of ET/VH1 yesterday and i juz finished watchin an 2 hr NBC Timeline exclusive. n its gonna b 3 hrs tomorrow, one a recap of everything, then the actual finale, then the cast goes live on Jay Leno. o n i juz found out there's another hour of recap on fri.

wow.

but seriously, its gonna b emotional thing. i might cry! ive been followin them for some time and hav become so engrossed in it for the past few yrs, i feel as though they're part of my close friends, much like how every fan feels.

80 million ppl r expected to watch the finale, n 30 sec window for advertisements go at a rate of US$2 million. imagine the amount of money earned juz from ads! it equals the most watched TV show, which is the NFL Super Bowl. tts how much this show has become. i mean, wit each of the six cast members earnin a cool million dollars per episode, that might not be much of a surprise.

but its really gonna b a day that's purely for friends, no one will care about anything else.

well, i will hav to worry bout one other thing. the UEFA Cup semi finals. i really hope Newcastle gets through.

we've seen a miracle these two days in seein tt monaco and porto made it to the champions league finals. who would hav expected that to happen? as for UEFA, its marseille/newcastle vs valencia for sure. villareal doesnt have the goods. besides, pablo aimar will b back. but who knows, we've seen it happen in champs lg, y not here?

n ive been listenin to this cool piece after some time. 1 Giant Leap feat Maxi Jazz and Robbie William's "My Culture." the video is so interesting.

This is what my Daddy told me
I wished he would hold me
A little more, than he did
But he taught me, my culture
And how to live positive
I never wanna shame
The blood in my veins and bring pain
To my sweet grandfathers face,
In his resting place
I make haste to learn and not waste
Everything my forefathers earned in tears
For my culture

n for me, its so true. i never met my paternal grandfather, since he passed away when my dad was even younger than i was. n its really coz of these two ppl tt i did not hav to go through poverty and hardship in a developing nation.
