Season 6, Episode 9: On the edge of glory

"I'm on the edge of glory,
and I'm hanging on a moment with you... "
- The Edge of Glory, Lady Gaga

You'll know when a good song is really a good song- when it's nailed to your mind and you hum to its melody in any silent moment. That was what i felt after listening to Gaga's new single. I felt it uplifting, motivating and captivating altogether. It has beat and lyrics that still not yet be discovered of any underlining, more abstract meanings. This one is rather clear as Gaga is usually very artful, in her music, with symbolism. She proves once again of her uniqueness with this. This song in particular grew to become my favourite song from her hitherto. Hooked from the start to the end, including and especially the saxophone part, this song accompanied me throughout my recent exam days. And what more better to be for it felt like being on the edge of glory in this very moment!




This post isn't entirely to compliment this new, great music.

As i am typing this, i have already completed my second year of study- means this is the final episode of the season. A remarkable season, i would say! Well, i don't find it necessary to blog over my exams. I've worked hard and attempted my best. Plus, my break is only one week. One. Week. So instead of allocating time dwelling on the past papers, why not channel all those time to something better. One week- so many things in mind to do, so little time.

I've recently watched 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand'. I would highly recommend this show if not for its excessive display of sensuality. It has great plot- seriously so unpredictable, dark and heavy drama filled with deceit and manipulation, paired with amazing acting and stunning action (or gory) scenes. It is definitely a show of the Gladiator-era that is worth watching- you can be moved to tears in some of its episodes too!

American Idol 10 cuts into its Top 3, forcing another one of my favourite the exit- James Durbin. He has his moments on Idol, truly remarkable, and has great high vocals. But i got to kind of agree with the comments on him being lately off pitch. With his departure, i'm putting my faith on Lauren to fit into the finale, forcing either Haley- doing exceptionally well in last few weeks, and Scott- never like him, out the run. This week will be interesting.

I had completed another short story masterpiece, entitled 'Counting Stars'. It's about love in the brink of blindness. Stay tuned.

Lately, i read many biographies of people who weren't an actor (from other professions) who then chose to be in the film industry. Somehow, a change of heart. And if it is to happen to me, it'll be another dream come true.

So much for the second year, and Season 6. Hopefully, everything goes glorious! wc11 bids you a break, and will resume his life in uni the next season!
