FOREVER CHARMED

CHARMED is an American television series that originally aired from October 7, 1998, until May 21, 2006, on the WB Television network. The series was created in 1998 and was produced by Aaron Spelling, the same guy who gave us the famous BEVERLY HILLS 90210.

The series is about the Halliwell sisters — Prue, Piper, Phoebe and later Paige. They are the most powerful line of good witches in history. The sisters, despite being perceived as normal women by the non-supernatural community, are known as The Charmed Ones in the magical community, whose prophesied destiny is to protect innocent lives against evil beings, such as demons and warlocks. Each sister possesses unique magical powers that grow and evolve, while they attempt to hold normal working lives in San Francisco.

Here, in Manila, it was aired over Studio 23, the sister channel of ABS-CBN 2. Every Mondays from 9 - 10pm. I was in my sophomore year when I first watched the series. Luckily I saw the season premiere, and that started my interest in the show. Aside from that, I am a fan of Shannen Doherty, and that made me love the show more, coz she's one of the main stars, portraying the role of PRUE, the eldest sister.

I didn't miss a single episode that had been aired on TV. Even REPLAYS, I still tend to catch it... That's how much I love the show. I used to bother my dad in his office to check the CHARMED SITE and download episode guides and spoilers ( I don't own a PC yet ). I also asked some friends to help me out. I requested one of my best buds to print some episode guides for me from season 1-3 and pictures as well. She accepted wholeheartedly and that started my charmed compilation. Now, I already have my own CHARMED BOOK! It contains History of Charmed, Character Profiles, Charmed Dictionary, their Theme Song, Episode Guides, Charmed Spells, Gallery, Cast Bios and Trivia with Inside Reports. The last page is my Farewell Note to the show.

It is typewritten (like what I've said, I do not own a personal computer then). I immediately typed it after watching the season finale. Here it goes:

My Farewell....

Tonight, I watched the last episode of Charmed... It saddens me that my favorite TV series has now come to an end. I am sure that I'm going to miss those girls... But as Patty Halliwell puts it, "when one door closes, another one opens".. So, who knows? I might be seeing them again... A CHARMED movie, maybe?!!

As Phoebe, Piper and Paige enjoyed their charmed life, I also enjoyed watching them for 8 years! I've seen all the changes that occurred in the show. I've seen new characters being introduced and seen them go... I watched every single episode of Charmed, including replays. I've seen it moved from 9-10pm, to 8-9, to 8:30-9:30, and finally 7:30-8:30pm.

Ahh, some good things never really last....

Tonight I may have seen the last episode of Charmed, but I promised my self that as long as the network continues to air it, I will never get tired watching it!!!

Thanks CHARMED for making my life, at least every Monday a CHARMED ONE!!!!

I use The Charmed One as my monicker, in my e-mail add, my blog account, facebook, friendster and the rest. I don't know, but somehow I feel like I'm also CHARMED in my own weird, special and unique way.

The show might have ended, but it will continue to inspire me for as long as I live coz I am A CHARMED ONE!!

That's how much I love Charmed, I have it carved on my body.
