Let’s hope this one sticks and I’ll be able to finish this hahaha.
So, day 1 — my favourite Gen1 character is:
Cassie Ainsworth
“I didn’t eat for three days because I wanted to be lovely”
eccentric and suffering from several mental disorders — most notably, anorexia nervosa — and multiple issues, including low self-esteem, suicidal ideation, and drug addiction

Seriously, Skins, you’re really making it hard for me to choose ONE cap from Alo’s episode. It’s rather unfair to the other episodes but Alo’s family’s farm looks just so awesome in the early morning with Skin’s signature cross-processing.

Bullets for Bitches
***
The first episode of Series 5 and also Gen 3 of Skins is all about Frankie Fitzgerald. Apparently she’s that token Skins character that you can’t just put in a box (I know, I know, all Skins characters rock, even Freddy whom I don’t really like but eh whatever).
So Frankie’s like dressed in an unorthodox way, has two gay dads (who actually were shown — up yours, Glee, you never showed Rachel Berry’s dads), doesn’t wear makeup, and is just weird enough to make you invest in her character and not turn you off or whatever.
After months of grieving over the end (and the preposterousness) of Series 4 and the end of Gen 2 as well, I’m finally back to being giddy about the very pretty cinematography and shots and ooooh the colors that are so characteristic of every Skins episode! Frankie’s episode made me always go 😮 and 😀 about every frakking shot that I almost could not choose which scene I’d post in this self-imposed meme. I finally narrowed it down to two sequential shots:
Love love love the slightly greenish/purplish overlay or exclusion layer or whatever that is that the Skins DOP did.
Plus, you know, the map? Yeah, it’s awesome. Not everyone has iPhones or has access to Google Maps, you know. And yeah, take note that if she intertwines her fingers, the letters on the tips will spell her name. You kill me with the details, Skins, really.

Yeah, so I thought since the main reason I love Skins aside from the awesome writing is the way they color everything — so, so, so, pretty colors — I’d post one snapshot of my favorite scene in each episode. Right now I’m currently watching the Nick Levan episode of Series 5. So anyway, here’s the shot of the episode.

I’ll have to re-watch all the previous episodes (from Franky to Liv) to post. After I’m done with that, let’s see if I can still go on and do the same thing with Series 3 and Series 4. Haha, hope I get to finish this, unlike that other meme I seem to have abandoned.

Oh, lookie, it’s Alo’s episode next week and look what prettiness Skins dropped right at the end:
Can’t wait already.

Posted in Life Oh Life, Meme
There’s this Facebook Meme going around where you’ll create your own album cover randomly from everywhere. At dahil gaya-gaya ako kay Nikki, eh di ako din. So, here goes:
1. Go to wikipedia and hit random. The first random wikipedia article you get is the name of your band.
2. Go to quotationspage.com and hit random. The last four or five words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3. Go to flickr and click on “explore the last seven days”. Third picture no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
4.Use photoshop or similar (picnik.com is a free online photo editor) OR Paint OR whatever.
5. Post it with this text in the “caption” and TAG the friends you want to join in.
And voila:
Disclaimer: No, I don’t own that awesome photo. Just found it at the Explore page.

■ American Football
Waaah, I don’t know anything about American Football but my friend Dodi is all over the New England Patriots so I guess they’re my adopted favorite football team even if I haven’t even watched one game.
