Bionic Woman


Bionic Woman : Television Series

"I'm not THAT bionic."

Bionic Woman was first aired on the 14th of January 1976 and lasted on the 13th of May 1978. The series has three (3) seasons with sixty (60) episodes. It was created by Kenneth Johnson and it was based on a novel written by Martin Caidin entitled Cyborg.

Bionic Woman was a spun off from the television series entitled The Six Million Dollar Man. It tackles the life of Jaime Sommer played by Lindsay Wagner, a professional tennis player and a teacher before she met an accident when she and Steve Austin (from The Six Million Dollar Man) went into skydiving. Jaime's parachute had defects and causes her to drop down that almost killed her. She had fatal injuries on her legs, right arm and head. Steve asked for his boss Oscar Goldman's help to rebuild Jaime by the bionic team headed by Dr. Rudy Wells.

After the operation and Jaime's recovery he was to become a member of Office of Strategic Intelligence (OSI). With the super powers she gained through the operation like speed for her legs, her arm was capable of bending steels or throw objects a mile and hearing a whisper even if it was a mile away, she did her missions given by the secret organization and she fights criminals and aliens.

There are a lot of new technologies nowadays and though it was so expensive and at times difficult to use, they were tried by governments and sees how it works and how it will help their country. I am not sure if this kind of technology was used by other countries as i haven't heard it here in our counrty, first it was too expensive for us and i don't there will be a person who will accept the offer. In my opinion, even the person who used this things will lived after a terrible accident there will be a time that things might go wrong and that the super powers that they've gained after the operation will be gone after some times. They'll body will definitely give up as it'll get tired of having those special powers.

The District

The District : Television Series

“Crimes are just Around”

The District was debuted on the 7th of October 2000 and ended on the 1st of May 2004. The series was created by Terry George and Jack Maple and it has four (4) seasons with eighty-nine (89) episodes. It follows the professional and personal life of the chief of Metropolitan Police Department in Washington D.C.

Jack Mannion portrayed by Craig T. Nelson, a former NYPD transit cop whose revolutionary tactics have cut out fifty (50) percent of crimes first in Boston, then in Newark New Jersey and now he was hired as the chief of Police of Washington D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department. Washington D.C. Was the home of more law enforcement agencies than any other city but still has the highest crime rate in the United State. Joining and helping him are Joe Noland portrayed by Roger Aaron Brown as the Deputy Chief of Police; Temple Page portrayed by Sean Patrick Thomas, recruited by Mannion and his eyes and ears on the streets in America; and Nancy Parras portrayed by Elizabeth Marvel, the intuitive officer; among many others.

Crime rates are really increasing in many countries. We can't really stop it immediately but we can control it if we just gave our dedication to it. There are people who claims that they can cut crimes down though not sure how much still they do everything just to improve their job and cut crime off for their countrymen lives. Crimes are really out there and we should give extra care of ourselves as police or people with such profession is not always around us. We should be extra careful and take ourselves far from such crimes though we can't really say that even though we're being careful we can't encounter those crimes.

You don't have to be of the same level of everything like others told that “rich will be for rich” and “poor will be for poor”, love doesn't work like that. You will feel it and that will make the two of you perfect for each other even there are things you obviously had that the other did not. In Love there's no perfect person. You love them with no reason. You don't care where they're from come, you just love them as it was how you feel. Love them with respect and understanding.

Felicity : Television Series

I guess I'm learning, little by little, that we decide what our lives are going to be. Things happen to us, but it is our reactions that matter.”

Abrams and Matt Reeves and it has four (4) seasons with eighty-four (84) episodes. It follows the life of a a fresh high school grad from Palo Alto, California and move to New York as the result of the changer of her education plan.

Felicity Porter portrayed by Keri Russell, fresh high school graduate who asked her long time crush classmate named Ben Covington portrayed by Scott Speedman to sign on her yearbook. Having read his comment she decides to change her education plan and so instead to attend Stanford University to take medicine she moved to New York and attend University of New York where Ben will go. Unfortunately upon arriving to New York she discover that Ben has a girlfriend and he didn't quite remember her name when they first met in the university. With the sort of emotions she still continued what she had planned and moved to her dorm and met lots of new people their. One of them was the resident advisor Noel Crane portrayed by Scott Foley. Joining them are Meghan Rotundi portrayed by Amanda Foreman as her college roommate; Julie Emrick and Elena Tyler portrayed by Amy Jo Johnson and Tangi Miller respectively as her best friends.

Going to college, deciding what course and school is just like deciding for your future. There are consequences on all our decisions and we can never tell which is right or wrong ahead of time, not until we encountered it and from all of it we've learned a lot. We make decision from our choice of life. We decide witch path we'll take and from there we start, unfortunately there are times that at the start of the game we see that we've made a mistake and the great thing that we have to do was to correct it and made another choice, a choice that we think will make the wrong move right.


Being in college isn't a joke. We should take full responsibility and we shouldn't decide because we want to be with someone like we chose this university because my boyfriend will go there or take this course because my best friend will take it instead we have to choose because it is what we want and what we feel that will made our dream come true. Though it wouldn't be smooth as on the start you'll definitely scared and struggle with the new surrounding, still you'll met new people and eventually fit in.
