My Favourite Series - One Tree Hill















Here is the Series Overview

The first season deals with the first half of Lucas's, Peyton's, Nathan's, Haley's and Brooke's junior years (up to the first game of the State Championship). Major storylines include the rivalry between Nathan and Lucas, the blossoming of Haley and Nathan's relationship, the set-up of the Brooke-Lucas-Peyton love triangle, the parent's own love quadrangle and the basketball state championship. Also with the series finale ending with an unexpected change to two characters lives!

In the second season the Taggaro family, who had left their previous home due to rumors concerning their daughter Anna, move to Tree Hill. It marked a move away from the love triangle as it explored numerous romances (Anna & Lucas, Jake & Peyton and Brooke & Felix). Haley and Nathan's marriage hitting the rocks as well as the repercussion of Dan's genetic disease (especially on Lucas) also plague this season. Karen goes back to school, beginning a relationship with a younger teacher in addition to starting the Tric club. Also in this season, a troubled Deb struggles with an addiction.

Season three features the arrival of trouble-maker Rachel Gatina, who would stir drama in the Lucas-Brooke relationship. It also follows the journey of Haley and Nathan towards getting back together and put a final point to Jake's storyline. Another major storyline was Dan trying to exact revenge on the one who tried to murder him. It features a major episode involving most of the main cast in a hostage situation at Tree Hill High, culminating in the death of one of the main cast.

The fourth season deals with Brooke and Lucas's break-up, leading to a Peyton-Lucas reconciliation, as well as the pregnancy of a main cast member. It also follows Dan's attempt at redemption, despite the fact that someone knows what he did, and at rekindling his romance with Karen. It also sees Rachel and Brooke's friendship blossom and be put to the test, over men and school troubles.

The fifth season features the beginning of the cast's journey into adulthood after a four-and-a-half-year long gap, including the hardships in Nathan and Haley's marriage, Peyton dealing with the fact that Lucas now had someone else in his life, Brooke trying to find a purpose after having reached success in her work life, Mouth's struggles at his job and a new state championship, this time with Lucas, Skills and Nathan as coaches.

Season six deals with Brooke trying her hand at motherhood, Peyton and Lucas's new romance, Lucas's book being made into a movie, Mouth and Millie's troubles to make work and their relationship function together Nathan and Haley trying to reach their dreams as well as tying up loose ends from pre-strike storylines. It also features the death of one character which greatly affects the others.

**********************************************************************************
Well, those overview is extracted from web, what i wanna bring out more is on the great passage that this series delivered to its audiences. Some i found it is hard to be understand but i will try to elaborate as best as i could, ok? I will skip the elaboration for those straight forward passage but question is allow if any...:-)

Passage 1:
You should chase whatever excited you, be confident, take risk, and make your own destiny.
Albert once wrote, bless the heart that get break, they shall never be broken.
But I wonder, if there is no break, there is no healing. And if there is no healing, there is no learning.
If there is no learning, then there is no struggling. Struggling is part of life, is that means all the heart will be broken?
My comment: Well, yea none of us can skip from heart break, we are all just a normal human being, we have feeling. If we never been through a hard time, how could we ever feel the happiness then?

Passage 2:
In life, if you leave it, it is always a reason for you to give up. If you don’t, you might just find love in places that you never imagine. In new relationship, or in your work, or…..whatever it is, just don’t give up on it. And if you don’t get it, you might get something better.
My Comment: This is quite straight forward, isn't it?

Passage 3:
Make a wish and place it in your heart, anything you want, everything you want.
You never know where the next miracle comes from, the next smile, the next wish come true. But if you believe, it is right around the corner, and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it, to the certainty of it, you just might get the thing you wishing for.
The world is full of magic, you just have to believe in it. So make your wish, you had it? Good, now believe in it, with all your heart.
My Comment: Yea, believe in your dream, with that you are a step closer to it.

Passage 4:
Sometime when you are young, you think nothing can hurt you. It is like being unconquerable. Your whole life is ahead of you, you have big plans to find your perfect match,
the one that complete you. When you get older, you realize it is not always that easy. It is not until in your life you realize of the plan that you make was simply just a plan.
At the end, you are looking back, instead of forward. You want to believe that you make the most for a life gave you, you want to believe that you leaving something good behind, you want all to be matter.
My Comment: This is actually the mode that i would want to have for the rest of my life. I wish to make the most for a life that gave me, and i wish to bring good deem, thing to the people that happen to be in my life, cause they do matter lots to me.

Passage 5:
Choosing a right path is never been easy, it is a decision we make with the only our heart to guide us. But sometime we find a way for something better, sometime we sunken in fight to the regret and more our mistake, our malicious, our jealousy, asshamed that you can’t be the person that you meant to be. And that when we find the way for something better, or that something better find its way to us.
My Comment: Someone help me here? I think it means sometimes we do make wrong choices in our life, we regret, mad to ourselves but that does not marked the end, we can find way to be a better us. Agreed? :-)

Passage 6:
There are moments in our life when we find ourselves at a crossroads, afraid, confused, without a roadmap, the choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days.
Of course, when faced the unknown, most of us prefer to turn around and go back.
But once in a while, people push on to something better, something found just beyond the pain of going it alone, and just beyond the bravery and courage, it takes to let someone in or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream.
Because it is only when you tested, that you truly discover who you are. And it’s only when you tested, that you discover who you can be. The person you want to be does exist, somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and beliefs. And beyond heartache and fear of what lies ahead.
My Comment: I think it means we could have a lot of uncertainity in our life, sometimes we tend to push for something that we want, or person that we want to be, that not just required your courage, but your hard work, self beliefs and a heart that does not affraid of what comes next.

Passage 7:
Do you ever look at a picture of yourself and see a stranger in the background? It makes you wonder how many strangers have pictures of you. How many moment of other people’s life have we been in? Were we a part of someone’s life when their dream came true? Or were we there when their dream died? Did we keep trying to get in as if we were somehow destined to be there? Or did the shot take us by surprise? Just think, you could be a big part of someone else’s life and not even know it. I’m going to find a really special place for this.
My Comment: You should find one for your own too!

Passage 8:
There comes a time when every life goes off course. In this desperate moment, you must choose your direction. Will you fight to stay on the path? Will others tell you who you are? Or will you label yourself? Will you be haunted by your choice? Or will you embrace your new path? Each morning you choose to move forward, or to simply give up.
My Comment: Last sentence, it is your choice to make.

Passage 9:
In life, there is up and down, it is just like the tide that rises high, leading towards the shore of success. But, in their life range, the sadness & deadlocks never had been left. It is just like we floating on vastness. And we grow by facing the tides; else you will just miss it.
My Comment: Life is full of vastness and we need to just face it.

Passage 10: (in chinese)
不要轻易让你心中的愤怒发泄出来,无用的发泄又有什么用, 现在不能, 将来也不能. 别让你的理想因为生活本有的挫折而放弃,而且永远都实现不了了。你的愿望一定可以实现。他就在哪... 那么真实, 很有可能哦, 是你的就是你的。

Passage 11: (in chinese)
E.E. Cummings 曾经说过做你自己,在这个奋进的世界日日夜夜, 只是为了成为其他人?一场最为艰苦的战争, 什么人可以赢得胜利?并且从来不要停此反抗。


There is still more to come, i will keep updating. ;-)
