Four this Week (2): My all-time favorite TV series

1. GREY'S ANATOMY

I've grown up with Meredith, Derek, Izzy, Alex, Christina, Burke, Bailey, George, and their patients in Seattle Grace Hospital. I've been hooked since season 1, and after their eight season, newcomers from Mercy West Hospital have joined the family, while some have left. Every season has the right mix of gore, romance, action, and tear - jerking drama! There are only a few episodes that didn't leave me in tears. If you want to take a break from cheesy love stories and indecisive women falling for vampires, werewolves, or geeks, try immersing yourself in the lives of these surgeons. Learn about diseases, be amused by their love affairs, and let your tears fall with each heartbreaking goodbye. I can't wait for season 9!

2. MODERN FAMILY

Three families dealing with each other's quirks, how could that not be entertaining? It's not a typical comedy TV series because it's sort of a documentary, which means there's no background music and you are free to laugh at any point sans the canned laughter. I absolutely love Phil and Gloria! Season 3 is over, Cameron is noticeably tan and Lilly has grown up. Looking forward to season 4!

3. HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER

Five friends together in every awkward, funny, depressing, romantic situation. The whole point of the series is recounting events that led Ted to the love of his life. I always thought it would be Robin, but I see she's better off with Barney. I absolutely love Lilly and Marshall too. Funny and romantic, witty and touching, HIMYM is a feel-good series you'd love to watch any day.

4.PUSHING DAISIES

This series was unfortunately cancelled a few years ago, but it's still among the best series I've spent countless nights watching over and over. Ned is a pie maker who can turn the dead to life and back to death by just touching them. The catch is, if he lets someone live for more than one minute, someone else dies. Charlotte is one person he's kept alive, but therefore cannot touch again, or else she'll die. Their sweet and quirky love story revolves around solving insanely strange crimes together with Emerson and Olive. I wish they'd revive this series soon!

Four this Week (1): My top 4 iPhone apps

Nope, I did not just make a typographical error. I am starting a weekly blog about top four of the things I like. Watch out cause here comes the first one! 

New apps are released everyday. Some are entertaining at first, but get boring after a while. Who's still playing Temple Run and Draw Something? Some have become must-haves, that I did not bother to include them in my countdown anymore. To name a few, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, iBooks, and Skype are apps that I dare not even think of deleting.

These four iPhone apps are my go-to apps nowadays. Check them out! 

1. FLIPBOARD

Also available on iPad

Where do I even begin with Flipboard? It's basically everything you want to see and read from different publications, blogs, and even social networking sites. You can literally flip from one news article, to your Facebook newsfeed, Instagram account, or Twitter timeline. You can choose which type of content you want to see when you open your Flipboard account. Travel, sports, photography, fashion, you name it! The welcome page seems very apt, don't you think?

2. BOGGLE
Also available on iPad

Bored somewhere without internet? Boggle is a great game way to kill time while keeping your brain busy. Shake the letters, and find as much words as you can in three minutes. Enjoy! 

3.  XN VIEW PHOTO FX
Also available on iPad

Give those instagram filters a break, and try XnView Photo's wide range of choices for image enhancement, effects, and filters. I absolutely love the light leak effects and the color filters. Endless possibilities await your blah photos. Try it! 

My photo with 4 different effects altogether! Cooleo. 

4. VOXER

This app eliminates the need to pay for calls and texts to your friends! With internet connection, you can easily leave them messages. So what, right? Well, there's more. You can also leave them audio messages and photos! Think Skype, but you don't necessarily have to be online at the same time. He/she can see your chat messages and audio recording once he/she goes online. It !also simple and easy to use!

One word of caution, though: be careful with the information you share with your friends on this app, because I have experienced a stranger joining my one-on-one conversation. Creepy! Other than that, I love this app.
