+videos

I found some of my fanmade videos from last year in HQ formats in my laptop the other day so decided to upload it for those that want to download since I won’t be able to make new ones any time soon. So check out the fanmade videos page for those. I finally got myself an internship and started working plus schooling from M-F so I’ve been quite busy. I’ll be back on the weekend though! :)

Honey & Clover

I recently just finished Hachimitsu to Clover and thought it was quite a sweet story so I’m really looking forward to the Taiwanese version which should be coming out real soon, I think next month? My new favorite Eddie Peng is in here and he definitely fits the role of Morita. Oh yes and looking forward to seeing Joe Cheng & Janine Chang too. Not so familiar with Ito Chiaki and Lego Li though. They do look the part but I personally prefer Rainie Yang for the role of the little college girl Hagumi, if you see what her current hairdo is like for her new drama then you know what I mean. An all-Taiwanese cast would’ve been ideal but too bad Rainie is filming another series, and ironically her second male co-star is also Japanese. Anyways, let me do a quick image rundown of the main cast and compare it with the Japanese version like what I did with Hana Kimi before.

As you can see hairstyles and such are similar but I don’t know much about the storyline. It’s mainly a simple story about friendship & love, college life etc… not much drama I don’t think. A nice relaxing spring/summer drama is what I’ll call it. So we’ll see if this will follow the Taiwanese high-rated series list this year. I’ve added some new videos & music for download today so grab it while you can before the links expire!

…………….

Have been quite a bit busy this past week bombarded with schoolwork/exams and interviews for internships so couldn’t really stay up late to blog & do all those online stuff that I usually do. I would be dead tired by dinner time and just couldn’t wait to go to bed. But it’s all over now, I’ll be free again this upcoming week or so probably just sitting by the phone and waiting to hear from the places that I interviewed with. Being a senior sucks when you know that you’re almost done with all those years of studying but then you have the “real world” out there waiting to suck ya in and give you even more work probably for the rest of your life. But what the hey, it’s life - gotta keep on going and do what makes ya happy. And I’m happy right now, :) & got more videos coming up soon!

movies, movies, movies

So apparently all the little cousins of mine can’t wait to see this movie because it’s so aweeesome to them which means I’ll be taking them to go see it in a few weeks or so. Yay I just can’t wait. >_<

I have been watching a bunch of movies lately since not really into much dramas these days. I saw “21″ and “Shutter” in theater the other day because I was too bored at home and the movie theater is only like five minutes away from home. Plus I got free tickets soooo :) As you know, I’m a horror flick junkie - I watch pretty much all the creepy/gory movies from spirits to zombies to uhhh little crittery bugs that can kill. But I personally prefer more of those on the thriller & suspenseful supernatural genre than the machete-psycho-killer going around cutting up people for no particular reason.

I watched the Thai version of “Shutter” a very long time ago and there were two scenes in there that definitely gave me the creeps. So after seeing the American version, I found myself laughing at those two scenes. Don’t get me wrong, the movie is not all that horrible - it’s a heck of a lot better than many asian horror remake releases recently such as “The Eye” & “One Missed Call”, it’s just repetitive for me maybe because I’ve seen the original already. Then we have “21″, quite a fun movie but just not my cup of tea because I don’t like gambling & casinos one bit. My friend loved it though because she’s a fan of blackjack and go to AC pretty much after every paycheck. It’s all self-explanatory here. So I conclude watch these two on DVDs if you can.

Then today I got a free day because my night class is cancelled so I made it a DVD day! I watched ”Awake” and “August Rush” for lunch, a waste of time for the first and was totally mesmerized for the second. After that went out to see some cherry-blossoms and get some fresh air in the city. Then I got back home earlier and saw an interesting DVD in my little bro’s room - “The Kite Runner“. I see the book everywhere & had no idea there was a movie for it because it was on limited release, so I decided to watch it and see why the book was one of the best selling novels of recent years. Now I know why. It was such an inspirational & emotional story, I can’t explain it you just have to watch it and see for yourself. I’ve always been ignorant of wars & issues outside of the Eastern Asia zone but this movie has opened my eyes up a lot. Now I must read the book because I heard the book is even heaps better than the movie. I really need to watch more movies like this instead of the usual thrills & scares.

Oh look and here’s the trailer for the American remake of “My Sassy Girl”.
