Starting last September, I decided to monitor what TV shows I loved watching every week, and what TV channels I mostly watched. I ranked shows from #1 to #10 and gave 10 points to the #1 show, 9 points for the #2 show, and so on and so forth. So the number beside each channel indicates the points the channel got for each show that appeared in my weekly top 10 list.
As of December 14, 2012, here is the ranking of the channels that top my TV fare. I am not surprised that HBO tops my list since I watched a lot of HBO TV shows earlier this year.
Here are my favorite channels for the year -
#1 HBO -84
#2 Jack TV -78
#3 Crime Investigation -69
#4 Nat Geo -60
#5 Bio - 59
#6 Diva Universal - 56
#6 AXN -56
#7 Star World - 47
#8 Star Movies -31
#10 Balls - 22
#10 Lifestyle -22
Velvet -20
Universal - 16
History - 15
2nd Avenue - 15
TV5 Monde - 14
CNN - 13
BBC World - 12
TCM - 10
PBO - 9
beTV - 8
ETC - 7
Talk TV - 6
ABS-CBN -11
Discovery -4
Red - 1
I was having lunch today when I watched this show in the Lifestyle Channel called What Not to Wear. They were featuring this lady firefighter who was on the tomboyish side and the show's style gurus were trying to teach her to add a shade of femininity to her sense of style.
Well, since the show's style gurus were very good, and not too intrusive, they made a changeover in the lady firefighters sense of style. She was so happy with what she learned that she said this, "I can't stop smiling cos' the future looks so bright!" - which really brought a smile to my face!
I was not exactly having a great week myself due mainly to the poor sales the past three weeks. Frankly, I was this close to having a mini-heart attack, but the last few days have once again brought great promise since sales have started to pick up, thank God!
We really have our "off-days" so it's important to have that feeling, "I can't stop smiling cos' the future looks so bright!" Otherwise, it's so easy to be grounded down and adopt that defeated attitude of hopelessness and quiet despair - and I don't want that - since I know I'm good at what I do - and I've always learned that we get the fruits of our labor soon enough - if we just work hard and we work smart!
Kudos to that young lady firefighter for that infectious optimism - it really made my day!
