Little bit of McBealism

“I think I need to believe that it works. Love, couplehood, partnership. The idea that when people come together they stay together. I have to take that with me to bed every night, even if I’m going to bed alone. That’s a McBealism” — Ally McBeal

I have been catching up with the long ago series Ally McBeal every night. It’s aired on TV here starting from season one since last week. Since I just managed to catch up with bits and pieces of this series while it was aired on Astro a few years back, I thought it’d be nice to watch it from the beginning Smile 4.

I love all the songs by Vonda Shepard in this series, y’know the lady who render some beautiful songs at the bar every time where Ally and her gang hang out almost at the end of every episode. Her voice has this ummph which sounds so soul-like, strong yet soothing. And Thorsten just bought me the soundtrack for Ally McBeal with all Shepard’s song in this series as a congratulatory gift for passing my driving test Love 2.

Some quotable quotes from Ally.

“The last thing you want is to be in love with someone you can’t have. Believe me, that’s something I know.”

I think that’s the darndest thing to do, to be in love with a man that you can’t have, not in this world at least. Some how I feel sorry for Ally, because she has to face Billy (her ex-boyfriend who’s married to Georgia) everyday at work, for whom she still has a little feeling. It’s like love is so near and yet so out of reach, just in case you don’t want to be called as a marriage-destroyer.


There are some people who meet that somebody that they can never stop loving, no matter how hard they try. I wouldn’t expect you to understand that, or even believe it, but trust me; there are some loves that don’t go away. And maybe that makes them crazy, but we should all be lucky enough to end up with somebody who has a little of that insanity. Someone who never lets go. Someone who cherishes you forever.”

Yea, when you’ve finally found someone who loves you to bits, don’t let go. There’s always some one out there who is definitely better than the one who’s holding on to you but what if you never have the chance to meet ‘the some one out there’? Will you take the chance and wait forever?

Renee: “Snow White. Cinderella. All about gettin’ a guy. Being saved by the guy. Today it’s The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Pocahontas. All about gettin’ a guy.”

Ally: “So basically we’re screwed up because of…”

Renee: “Disney.”

That’s cheeky Tongue Out 10. Life is not always fairy tales. Get married and live happily every after do not happen all the times. Do you know that for Catholics, they can only once in their life get to have a church ceremony, you know the one where the bride walks down the aisle? I know this lady, she refused to have a church ceremony for her wedding with her actual husband. She said she wanted to wait for the right one (just in case she gets a divorse). WTF right???!!! I wonder what her actual husband thinks about this (that he’s not the right one for her!!). Why did the get married in the first place?

Call me naive or whatever, I think I have a little McBealism in me.

  1. A very thoughtful entry. It touches me. Well, I am still waiting for that someone to “notice” me. I still believe that “he” will notice me someday … hahaha … Believing is good in the sense that, it gives us hopes.
    Of cos to be able to be loved is something everyone would like to have, especially girls. So, cherish yours now, not only he/she, everyone around us .. :)
    BTW, they are re-showing Ally is it?

  2. pieceofmind: yea, they are re-airing Ally on tv here :)

  3. Yen, you are lucky. =)) Thorsten treats you well. Hope you will be happy always. Hhhhm…guess both me and Yoke Ping still gotta wait. Haha. But, its hard to say. You know, I have a cousin sis (older than me by 3 yrs) and she din has any boyfriend till 6 months ago. 9 months ago she moved to Scotland to study. She met her another half there in 3 months time. Fate really…..

  4. Cham lor, I’m the other way round… I’m waiting for the “right” guy…so,meaning I’m still waiting also…Maybe the lousy ex’s still plagues me, so that’s the reason I will wait for the “right” one…
