... the end of an era

It's really over. Booohoooohooo... Sex and the City is over! This month has been one crying-fest for me. I cried when FPJ died. I cried when KC de V. died. And now this -- SATC is over! No more HBO Tuesday nights to look forward to. My only "consolation" is that Carrie ended up with John, aka Mr. Big. I actually want Carrie to end up with Aidan, but he's happily married and has a cute kid, so Carrie being a kabit was probably not a good way to end the show.

I prepared for the finale by watching SATC from Season 1 till sawa (was able to watch till Season 2's episode 8). Some of my favorite scenes include:

1. Miranda and Steve meeting for the first time.
2. Mr. Big showing up when Carrie thought he wouldn't.
3. Miranda and Steve kissing in the rain.
4. Smith waiting for Samantha to make sure she got home safe. (Awwww!)
5. Charlotte trying out her wedding gown for her marriage to Harry.
6. Aidan proposing to Carrie (Aidan in a suit, Carrie in a white dress).

It will take forever for me to list down all my favorite scenes. But the ones I've listed are the more memorable ones.

The thing is, SATC wasn't just a regular tv show for me. It was the lifestyle I (can only) dream of -- fabulous and independent single women with equally fabulous careers who date cute men, live in stylish homes, wear stylish clothes and go to "in" clubs and parties. But what I really liked about SATC was the kind of friendship they shared. I have always wanted a routine type of gimmick with my friends, where we have a special place for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner and we update each other about our lives. But traffic, significant others, work, post grad education and stress always seem to get in the way. =(

Plus, because of SATC, I now want to go to New York! To visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art. To take a leisurely walk in Central Park. To eat in at least one popular restaurant and find out what the fuss is all about. But am too scared to get on a plane bound for New York. Val, can we just go to Canada and cross the border from there? =)

Took this test to see which SATC character I am --

Congratulations! You are Charlotte.
