ep. 3 Unfinished: yes, we all have contacts in our phone that we never need but never delete. I never clean my contacts either. Robin's argument that "we just want to have another version of ourselves" is so right.
ep. 6 Baby Talk: why the "little girl" act works on men? Haha, so green tea bitch tricks work on Americans as well? Just matches with the newly released Chinese film "撒娇女人最好命"
ep. 12 False Positive: really appreciate Ted's reaction when Marshall and Lilly said they may get puppies instead. Never take an easier track with life! Stress is normal when you make significant decisions.
ep. 16 Desperation Day: This episode brings me to think what parents mean to me. Yes, I am not ready to be an adult, actually. As long as our parents are still alive, we can be children, and have some place to stay after we have rough time. However, some day, we may not be able to find that peace again because of the natural law.
ep. 24 Challenge Accepted:
Robin: Ted, the future is scary. But you can't just run back to the past because it's familiar. Yes, it's tempting...
Barney: But it's a mistake.
