Secret Worlds

Rhea Mae, Tina and I got close back in fifth grade because of our music tastes and similar interests. Back in fifth grade up to freshman year in highschool, this TV show was all the rage for me and my vintage BFFs: The Secret World of Alex Mack (download and watch here).

Alex Mack was one of our fave TV shows, next to Sabrina the Teenage Witch, My So-Called Life and Clueless. Alex Mack was shown in Studio 23, Sabrina and Clueless in ABC 5 and My So-Called Life in RPN 9. I was Alex, Mae was Sabrina and Tina was Angela (My So-Called  Life). I miss our lives then. I miss them, coz we're all too busy now. Tina's got 2 sons, I am married and Mae is about to be married too. Good times.

Anyway, here's the episode guide, and if you wanna watch, CLICK HERE.
