BIG WHOVIAN NEWS!!!!

Ok depression aside for the time being. I was unable to watch Doctor Who last night, but this morning I managed to finally get the chance to look at last night's episode...And I am reeling with shock and awe!

Those who do not wish for spoilers: LOOK AWAY NOW

Here's a nice image of Eleven naked for you!

(By the way, the picture is not mine!!!)



I will try to write a proper review later on...once my hiatus is over, but for now let's just spoil everything! Ok it was bad enough that the Cybermen came back, but this new surprise!!! I almost had a heart attack when I finally learned the truth! And I am going to continue screaming around the house until next week's episode! I really want to know what happened!!! HOW IT HAPPENED!!! 

Let's start with the teasers, shall we? Ok, so...A) Missy. Yes, missy she was a shady character, to say the least. B) Heaven/The Promised Land/Afterlife, whatever it was, again shady, and a little disturbing...C) The teasers for this week's episode clearly labelled the Cybermen's involvement here so that wasn't much of a shock.

When I watched the episode (Thank you BBC iPlayer) at first I couldn't quite believe it, Pink was dead (granted, he wasn't much of a player. I wasn't buying the whole Clara and Pink...and Pink seemed too...Passive...in my opinion.) Anyway, when he does die, we are then pushed towards Clara and the Doctor's showdown, concerning the keys of the Tardis (Bad Clara! Very BAD! He trusted you, you let him down, very very not ok!!). Then we see them in some sort of mausoleum with rotting skeletons in open faced tombs...casually, there...just sitting on their chairs. Oh look, when Clara and the Doctor move by, their heads move! Of course they do (feel free to roll your eyes and facepalm).

Then in comes the mysterious Missy, and practically snogs off the Doctor's face, oh and presses his hand against her boobs! Not at all disturbing in the Doctor's point of view...Then we are introduced to lovely Dr. Chang (who I like by the way, it was very unnecessary of you to kill him off Missy!). Next Danny and Clara have a heartfelt...or not quite so heartfelt...chat, where she pretty much denies that it's him, and all he can say is "I Love You"...yeah, when you've been with the Doctor for so long, you know when he tells you "be logical" you "be logical", because more often than not, he's right.

Of course I failed to mention, that we are finally introduced to Danny, as Clara and the Doctor land in the mausoleum, and he casually freaks out...although, I'm not convinced, since the acting was a bit off from the actor, but that was a given, since, as I said before, he's quite...no...very Passive.

Then we finally see the Nethersphere, and ho boy! it's pretty much a city at night, inside a ball...I have to hand it to the FX team, nicely done...Where was I? Oh yes, Nethersphere! If you haven't already figured out, by the not-so-very-discreet glance given by Missy, earlier on, the Nethersphere is just a big ball in the middle of the mausoleum, that isn't even the size of a human...so how can they live in there? Oh yes, via data banks...and that ball is supposed to what? Download thoughts, memories, emotions and whatnots from our dead brains? As if that wasn't tecchie enough.

Then comes the big BOOM!!!! 

Yes the big BOOM! 

Missy is THE MASTER!!!!!


What in all that is good, Moffat are you trying to do to us Whovians!!!!!

I bet you're just trying to kill us all off with heart attacks aren't you? HOW IN THE WORLD ARE YOU GOING TO EXPLAIN THIS!!!

I know you've got your reasons, and you have little "gems" up your sleeves, but just stop it! NO! It's bad enough you're doing loads of things like this in Sherlock (Killing him off in Season 2 was a big fat NO! I understand it was in the books, but No! Just No! Then what? Having Mary a secret spy who was being threatened, with that whole Mind Palace thing is also a no! Poor Watson he's having enough trouble as it is controlling Sherlock's wild streak, he pretty much has a heart attack when he finds out HIS WIFE! MARY! THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE! Is pretty much the same as everyone else that surrounds him!) BUT STOP WITH THE FREAKING HEART ATTACKS!!!!!!!

Anyway...rant done...I'm just going to scream into a pillow. Fellow Whovians, feel free to join me as facepalms and eye rolls will be happening all around the world.

SHAME ON YOU MOFFAT! FOR SHAME!

Tea, Creativity, and Bad WiFi Connections

Once more I am in a cafe, writing a blog post, drinking Chai Tea Latte and writing my story. I'm still on Chapter 20, for those of you keeping up, I am almost done with it and will soon be moving onto Chapter 21...FINALLY! It's been a long time in the making, because I just can't be bothered in the evening. You know? I just want to rest, play League of Legends and wind down for sleep. I've just been so tired lately.

Oh speaking of Leagues...WHO'S READY FOR THE WORLD SEMIFINALS! I AM!!! Although...I may have to watch the rebroadcast, because I'll probably be watching Doctor Who at the same time...Yes, I'll be watching the new episode with Peter Capaldi, Mummy on the Orient Express.

Are all you Whovian's ready for that? I know I am. I literally can't wait, it's combining my two favourite franchises (well I say franchise), The Mummy (1999), and Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot.  It's the best! As I've said to my friends, it's going to be AWESOME! I can't believe they're incorporating Agatha Christie again! Well...it's not her directly, but her most famous detective. Seriously, Poirot's most infamous case The Murder On The Orient Express I can't wait!!!!

Sorry...fangirling there...Where was I? Oh yes, I'm in Starbucks, writing this post...taking a break from the novel...Yeah, yeah, I know! Get back to work on it! Well, I've worked on it for an hour straight...although I could do more, but I have a seminar in 56 minutes (YES I HAVE TO BE EXACT!)...well, 56 minutes from the time I've written this part down. So I can't completely absorb myself.

Anyway...All alone here in this lonely cafe, because I'd rather go down the writer's road. I remember my Screenwriting tutor saying it's a lonely career, but that's the best thing for me. I'm left with my imagination, and I don't care, it's the most beautiful place I've ever been to, and I'd rather not let anyone else in. It's my place, and I'm happy there. Although...I do get lonely sometimes, but that's what my characters are there for, it's so blissful here.

Oh and for the "Bad WiFi Connections" part of the title is because the WiFi here is so bad, it'll probably take the entire year for this post to come up. That's pretty much it.

One more thing, don't miss this week's newest post on my reviews blog: Doctor Who: The Mummy on the Orient Express. It's going to be a blast!

As always do with this post what you will (except copy it), and I'll speak to you all soon. God bless. ^^

The End Of An Era

I think I've named a previous post this...oh well, never mind! Let's just say it's number two...Anyway. I am almost done with this first story!!! Yes I know I've only recently said I'm on chapter 15, but now I'm almost done with 16 and I'll have you know that I may finish the story within three or four chapters! Woohoo!!!!

Now you're all probably wondering why I'm not actually finishing the story immediately and wasting my time on my blog...truth be told, I kinda don't want to finish it, and I guess that's why I keep giving up on my other stories. It's because I don't want it to end, but I will fight through this stupid urge and I will finish this story so that I can work on the blog that I want to put it up on, as well as the second draft.

I'm actually sad it will soon be over, it just means that another set of characters are going to be happy, while I remain here...with no happy ending, just a bottomless hole that will probably never be filled (NO I'M NOT FAT! I'm talking about emotionally. I'll always have an empty space.)

Well that's it for now, because I just wanted to say I'm almost done...oh and I'm listening to a Doctor Who Spotify playlist...and the song I'm currently listening to is called Song For Ten and I don't know why but the singer kinda reminds me of David Bowie...if you listen to it, please tell me if you hear it too!

Anyway...Biiiiiiyyyyyyyyeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Update Time - Slowly But Surely

Yes I'm finally getting there, I think I may end up with just twenty chapters in this story. So I'll say be patient, I have yet to revise it, and have my reviewers review it. So please be patient.

I'm already on chapter 16, so yes I'll be done soon. After tomorrow perhaps my speed will increase, that I'll be done before next week. Hopefully Doctor Who won't distract me too much. So yes, at the moment the explosion of events are starting and you'll all probably wonder, is anyone going to die? Yes, yes there will be death, so I'm sorry if you guys hate me when you read the story, because the person's death may be important in the next story. Truth be told it probably will be.

So that's basically it, my hiatus, or whatnot is still going, until tomorrow, when I'm out with my friend, I'll probably have the courage to face it and finish this story. As you all know I've been through a depressed state recently, and now I'm just trying to get back on my feet, this outing may just dispel that entire episode completely. Although I do want to get back to that happy state that I've forced on myself, I will probably miss the depression because it helped me. Writing did help in some way.

Actually this reminds me of the Doctor Who episode I watched recently, it's the one called Vincent and the Doctor. The ending of the episode got to me this time, and yes I cried, but the message was quite powerful, especially for me, at this time. You see in the episode the museum tour guide talked about Vincent and the marvels of his work, and how he used his pain to portray the goodness of the world in his paintings. I had some sort of sympathy towards Vincent in this episode (even though I know it's someone's opinion of how he was) and I think that's exactly what I'm doing with this story.

My pain has made the beauty of the relationship in this story much more tangible, for me anyway, because I know that many of you will probably not read it, or not even care that it's there. It's possible no one will actually like it, but I don't actually care. This story is simply my outpouring of sadness, and in a way, I'm trying to say that although I may be sad, my sadness doesn't have to affect the world. I don't want it to, and if it does, I want it to affect it in a positive way, by having you look at the good things in your life.

I don't want you to sympathise with me, in fact I expect you not to, because I want you to look at your life and count your blessings, not the negative things. Although I tell you to do that, and I don't do it for myself, that's ok, because while I still mourn over my faults and curses, I do also count the many good things that have happened to me. I still say "that was a great day", and "I remember when that made me happy" and "that was fun" and I will always say "I wish" and "why can't that be me" and "what am I doing wrong". Both the good and the bad are mingling now, and I'm slowly realising that, as the Doctor says, "The good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant."

So I'll keep soldiering on, and yes I will always have these depressed spells and yes it will be a long time before they truly go away, but I know that in the end, they will help me, I know that while the bad things in my life get me down, it would mean that the good things will be that much better. It will mean that my life will balance itself no matter what I feel in one particular time, because in the end the greatest thing that I could look forward to is when I return to the place where it all started. I return to the place where I truly feel welcome and at home, where I'm truly loved. And that my friends, is when I can honestly say I belong.

So as always, with a light heart please do with this post what you will and may God Bless you the rest of your life. ^^

Update Time - The Greatest Storyteller Is The Story

Ok so I have been writing, but I can't really help it. I've been breaking up the flow though...with Doctor Who...So what! Can you blame me for wanting to watch something so cool! I love it!

Anyway I've slowly but surely made my way to Chapter 15 and I think I'll be done in 5 more chapters. Things are going to get haywire in this story, so I need to prepare myself for it, and this hiatus will probably help. In the meantime, I'll be watching Doctor Who and loving it...I may even dabble into Game of Thrones. I'm still watching Season 3 because well...it's just a bit gruesome for my liking, and it will take me a while to bear it. So yes, I'll be watching TV.

You know speaking of Doctor Who, I can't help but remember the post I wrote on it. I still love his quote, and it will forever stick in my mind, because it is quite true. Today we look at heroes as warriors, as men with swords and guns and horses and fast cars and jets and whatnots. We never really look at the true heroes, the ones who saves lives by helping, we don't see doctors as heroes, we don't see our parents as heroes, we don't even see teachers as heroes. Why? They save lives more than soldiers and politicians and other sorts of warriors. Doctor Who opens your eyes to the fact that a warrior doesn't have to be a hero, they are the wingman, while the Doctor is the hero.

For those of you who haven't a clue about what I'm saying, regarding the post here's the link:

A Revelation From Doctor Who

I know the title really has no reference, but think about it. We are all stories, and Doctor Who is just one great big story, and who better to tell a story than the story itself. We all tell stories, and our lives themselves are stories. Just like many preachers, teachers, priests, we all must tell a story. It just depends on how we tell it. Many use words, and description, others use actions and other use other stories to tell their own.

Me? I'm trying to use action to tell my story. But I occasionally do use words. Even now I'm using words. You're reading this post and it is all just plain, simple words. If you met me, I'd try to do things that may please you, and probably fail, but I'd try nonetheless. So, why the deep post this time? Well, I don't actually know. Most time I go with the flow, and right now the flow is very deep, the currents pull me down and I feel like it must end somewhere.

So for those of you who think I'm just a mad woman, writing nonsense, well guess what? You're right. And you are wrong. Because I'm not simply mad. I have faith. Yes most of you know I'm Catholic, and most would probably think I'm crazy, or I'm wasting my time, but let me tell you this. Without my faith, this blog would probably not have existed, and you wouldn't be reading this right now. So for those of you who do think so, and will probably continue to think so after reading this, why are you still reading? You can close this tab or window right now, you don't have to continue reading, and you don't have to keep listening to my words, you can stop right now.

But for those who would listen to my words, please, don't take your faith lightly. Like St Francis of Assisi said, "Preach the gospel at all times, and when necessary, use words." It may work for you to pretty much blather on about this story and that in the gospel, but most will just completely ignore you. If you truly want people to listen, do something nice, do something that no one would probably expect you to do. For example, speak to the homeless on your street, or talk to your friends, make them feel special and happy, because in one way or another they may be hurting, and in the end your conversation or your smile might just make their day.

So a bit deep, not sure if you'll read it but hey, at least it's out there. And as always, do with this post what you will. God Bless. ^^

A Revelation From Doctor Who

I have just recently watched a panel for the Doctor Who cast and crew, about the 50th anniversary, and I really love this quote "Heroes are important. Heroes tell us something about ourselves. History books tell us who we used to be, documentaries tell us who we are now but heroes tell us who we want to be."

Not only that but I think Moffat was right when he says, "Heroes depress me, but with this particular hero, they didn't give him a gun, they gave him a screwdriver to fix things. They didn't give him a tank or a warship or an X-wing fighter, they gave him a call box, from which you can call for help. And they didn't give him a superpower, or pointy ears or a heat ray, they gave him an extra heart."

So I thought I'd share this with everyone because, from Doctor Who, I learned that everyone needs a hero, although sometimes the heroes we want aren't the heroes we need, and truth be told, the Doctor, is my hero. Not because he has companions who I wish I were (even though I do), but because as Steven Moffat implies, he's a hero who wants to save, not to fight.

Think about it, the tenth doctor, played by David Tennant, offers his enemies a home to live in, he gives them the choice to live peacefully, for example in the Christmas Special The Next Doctor, as the cyber-men try to take over Victorian London, he offers them to find a planet, one where they can live their "mechanical lives in peace", or the eleventh doctor, played by Matt Smith, offers the Rosanna and her family to find a new home for them, so as not to destroy Earth, or even in the 50th anniversary special, even though there were three, and each one was seriously thinking of destroying Gallifrey, he still finds a way to save his home planet.

It is because of his love of life that I see him as my hero, he doesn't care about who he saves, even if it's his enemies, he still wants to save them, even though it means they end up dying. So, that's why I love Doctor Who, and I hope for those of you out there, who don't really care for it, who think it's just another boring TV show that only nerds and geeks watch, this is the reason we watch it. It's because the Doctor teaches us that even though we "are still learning to walk" we have so much potential, we have a lot to learn about ourselves and we all have the capability to be great.

I'm not trying to persuade you to watch it, I know it may not be your thing, but if you do ever encounter someone who does love it, don't put them down, don't make them feel inferior, just because they watch a sci-fi drama, understand that they watch it because it gives them hope, hope of a future that they may yet have, hope that they can be as great as the doctor, or his companions. And for those of you who have seen it and love it as much as I do, I recommend watching this panel (the link below), I guarantee you, it will teach you a lot about the doctor, it's where I found my two quotes. Finally for those of you who do want to watch it, but have not yet seen it, I do recommend it, it's character, as a show is what makes it great, and if you do, welcome to the family.
