Today's Special: Zenkai Girl Review

      I'm sorry this isn't a recap... But I'm trying. I just started grade 12 Semester 2. And I'm trying to get use to me sleep hours again. I swear, If I could relive a time. I wouldn't want to relive grade 12. It's the most stressful period of time I've had ever since birth. I just hope University isn't worse than this... SO! Zenaki Girl. I gave it a try a few months ago, and it didn't turn out good. I then bought the DVD set because I had nothing to watch and my internet was down. I gave it another try, and I found it okay. So here's my review before I actually get the time to do recaps. Here's the promotional poster view of this drama:
So this drama is about a lawyer (Aragaki Yui) and a stay at home dad (Nishikido Ryo) as you can see on the poster. This lawyer has money and status as her main goal in life whereas the SatH dad only thinks about the happiness of his 'son'. The first episode of this drama actually felt different compared to the rest of the series. I actually liked the rest of the series than the first episode. The first episode threw me off. It was kinda like... Hmm... 
      So, the lawyer joins a big firm but instead of being a lawyer she becomes nanny of the child of the boss of the firm (Whoa that was a mouthful). Only problem is that

Today's Special: Inborn Pair / 真愛找麻煩 review

[EDIT: Monday, June 11 - 2012] I recapped Episode 01 [click here] to read it! (:
      I know I promised to write reviews about the dramas and movies in my 'Progress and updates' page but there is this drama that I'm watching recently and I'm so addicted to the point where I tried to catch up to episode 38 in one day. The drama I'm talking about is called Inborn pair (真愛找麻煩). Here's a picture view: 
Inborn Pair (真愛找麻煩) - Picture from the viki channel
One thing I super love about this drama is that it is released from Monday to Friday. Meaning I don't have to wait that long for a new episode (and I hate waiting for episodes when they are this good). I started watching yesterday so what I got from my nonstop watching is like compacted with happiness. First of all, I was bored and so I wanted to rewatch my most favourite Taiwanese dramas since I've slightly lost interest in Korean dramas. There are really good ones out but I don't really want to wait for subs. Since I understand Mando, I resulted to Taiwanese dramas. Now for the review and some background on the drama.
      As you can see the main couple is Chris Wang and Annie Chen. They are both really cute in this. And I gotta agree, Annie is beautiful. But at first, the best friend (Chris' best friend) was quite similar in facial features with Annie so it was sometimes confusing. But when you watch it and enjoy it you'll be able to tell them apart easily. Too bad I can't find any character maps, cause then it'd be easier to explain.
      This drama is kinda like a family special. Not only do you see the main couple in action but

Today's Special: Sign (Korean Drama) Review

      Like I promised 2 posts before, I'm going to start recapping again. Here's the first Review of a Drama. This time I'm focusing on a Korean Drama named Sign. I originally didn't want to watch this but, since my mom liked medical and police involved dramas I chose this one for her. Surprisingly I was hooked from the first episode. It was like Code Blue but with a thriller taste in it. Code Blue was more like a Slice of life kinda of drama. From another blog I found the poster pictures for the drama: 
Here is the dramawiki to this drama series: here The poster actually gives off a pretty good feel to the drama as well. I really liked how

Today's Special: In Time With You - Short Recommendation

      Helloooosss, Sorry for not posting here for such a long time. I haven't been posting on Tumblr either if you're wondering. So today I'm going to tell you about a drama called: In Time With You. The Chinese title is:我可能不會愛你. Here's a poster view of the people in this drama,
In Time With You / 我可能不會愛你
I'm not too fond of the main guy cause he's a bit too soft. But he's similar to my friend so I'm okay with it but in episode 2, this guy named Nic (in the drama) shows up and just throws you off completely by how good looking he is. So WATCH IT! :) 
      So here's a short summary of the whole show (that hasn't been

Today's Special: Drama and Movie Recommendations

      I haven't been blogging here at all and I'm sorry. As you can tell from my previous blog that I've joined Tumblr and my short entries are there. But my recaps are here. I haven't been watching Ouran High school Host Club Live action, but instead I'm watching Myeong Wol the Spy and Protect the boss. I won't be recapping those because they're of the Korean category and there are better recapping sites out there for Korean Dramas.
      If you follow me or just check out my Tumblr you can follow with what I do but I don't post any recaps there. What I have been currently doing that I haven't posted on Tumblr would be trying out Guitar and the violin. I can play the C scale on the violin (not that good though) and currently trying to play the Banmal song by Yonghwa and Seohyun from WGM (CN.Blue and SNSD)

Since I haven't been recapping I can at least tell you what's good to watch currently! As to dramas and movies here's a list:

Extended Special: Love Keeps Going EP 05, 06 & 07 RECAP

      I'm sorry that I'm not recapping EP 2 , 3, and 4 but those episodes were bullshit. I'm not saying they were absolutely horrible, I'm just saying, it was hard to watch due to the fact that I don't like XX. <- the girl's name. This show is like a ton of Taiwanese dramas mixed together. It's basically like: Devil beside you, and the Fierce wife mixed together. With some bits of other dramas to create the story line.
      If you have been watching it then you know that there's this new girl name XX working with them at the bread store and there's a slight development between ML and her fiancee's brother. But really cause I can't keep up with it here's a slight recap without pictures yet. I'll print screen pictures when I have time but really here's a reallly really brief one:

So in EP 05 she finds out that her husband is actually in a relationship with XX right before the wedding. (if you don't know the shorten names please refer to my EP 01 recap situated in the recaps tab at the top or click [here] ) YL who is ML's fiancee's brother has actually started to like ML. ML who hears her fiancee talking to each other drives her car into a pole and causes a car accident. YF who's worried about her looks for her after he hears that she's been in a car accident. He goes to every hospital looking for her. When he does find her he lifts her up into his arms and

Today's Special: Ouran High School Host Club (Live Action) EP 01 Recap

OMFG! I just watched it and of course it's not as good as the anime - which was equally well done as the manga. but  MY GOD! It's refreshing to watch.

RECAP EP 01
The episode starts with Haruhi the main character walking to school called Ouran Academy. She looks like a guy because of the haircut she has. Everyone in this school is described to be rich and taken cared of at any second of their day. This is shown with the available tea time in the library and the luxurious cars dropping them off to school. 
 
Haruhi tries to look for a quite place to study and ends up bumping into Mr. darkarts (forgot his name) in the halls. He warns her that if she were to continue walking she'll end up having an entirely new experience. Which she doesn't believe and continues on. She ends up at a music room.  
As she opens the door a beautifully brightened place was visible. And a group of guys wearing the school uniform show up behind her. They knew her name and everything but believed that she was a guy. The leader Sou has never had

Extended Special: MR [2], Zenkai Girl & Ouran High School Host Club Live Action!

So I just recently discovered that Aragaki Yui's new drama is soon to be released! I'm still not really sure what the drama's gonna be about but the male lead looks pretty good: 
Also! If you're a manga reader I'm sure you've heard of Ouran high school host club. They're having a live action! EEPS! It's coming out on the 22nd I believe. Here promo poster:
Of course they don't look exactly like they do in the manga but it's okay. We were all probably hoping for the cast of Hana Kimi to be in it. Well at least one of the cast members is in it. To see their interview and learn more about this drama

Today's Special: Clone Baby EP 01 Recap


So I did a short review before because of my excitement to this fantastic series. This is only a test trial again. Not sure whether I should continue recapping so much. The only reason is because some people have been on my blog searching for Clone baby recaps. If you're interested in more of the episode recaps you can always leave an anonymous comment. And I'll get back to you. It's not as scary reading the episode than watching it alone. 
      Clone baby is a thriller, as you can tell from it's series title. Args. I wish i could show you a character map...
So the guy in the middle of everything well not exactly middle but the one with a 50 - 50 hair split and a blue sweater, he's the main guy. I always found him weird in the entire show. He reminds me of a goldfish. He always has like these weird expressions on his face. The one I love is the one that has an exclamation and question mark pointing at him. He wears entirely white during the entire show. It's also contrasting to his brother that's under the main girl at the side of the main guy.
      So the episode starts with a vague introduction to what the show's about. It's so vague and hard to understand due to the random talk about musical chairs that it leads you to wonder about it. The first thing we see after the creepy vague introduction is

Extra Special: Material Queen & Hayate the Combat Butler - First Impression

      I know! I'm posting again. It's sorta because I don't want to write in my previous post as an update since it's been hours since the last post. I think it's because I haven't been on for so long that I'm just so late in these drama things. Well I won't be talking about Korean dramas but instead I'll talk about Taiwan Dramas. One that I'm leaning towards is called Material Queen (拜金女王) because Vanness Wu is in it. And no Ady An is not in it although I would've loved it better.
Material Queen
      As you can see she's close to Ady... Kay I lied. I think Ady is prettier. But still. I didn't watch any episodes yet but I saw the extended preview which was like almost half an hour long. It's quite interesting but a bit confusing because the order is a bit weird. In this drama Vanness Wu is acting as a music student who is hired to pretend to be a rich son to keep the real guy's identity. He then meets this girl who is in love with money. 
Believing that he is the real rich guy she follows him around for 2 days and falls in love with him but in the end she leaves her old rich husband for him. She then learns that

Extended Special: About Drama recapping

      I know I haven't been recapping lately. and I just released the recap for Love keeps going EP 01 which is super late because episode 04 is coming out soon. Therefore I believe my recaps are not necessary anymore. Especially because I'm already this late in Rebound (I have lost my interest in it I'm sorry)
      I'll recap them on my spare time but I'm sure by the time I'm recapping them it's not going to be necessary anymore. If you would like me to recap some thing you can tell me. As long as it's under the Japanese, Mandarin or Cantonese categories because I'm sure that Korean stuff are much more recapped than these. I can recap movies or drama series if they're fun to watch. I've recently watched My black mini dress or something like that. And yes it's Korean. I can recap that if no one has done it yet.
      On the good side Clone baby can now be downloaded at

Today's Special: Love Keeps Going EP 01 Recap

This is a test trial. I'm not sure whether I'd be disappointed by this one or not so I don't promise on recapping all. I should've said this for Rebound as well... Cause I'm sorta loosing interest for that as well. Let's start with a brief introduction as to what this drama is about. 
      This story (from what I see in the OP & END, Preview for the next episode) is about 4 main people. One named Mei Le who is the main girl. The other is Han Yi Lei which is Han Yi Feng's younger brother. Xiao Jun which is probably Han Yi Lei's ex girlfriend and Guo Xuan Xuan - who has not appeared yet. To clearify who is who and for future reference:
 
  1. So the guy in blue at the top is Han Yi Feng, whom I will shorten to YF
  2. The guy dressed tidy to the right of that other guy is Han Yi Lei which will become YL.
  3. The first girl to the left is Xiao Jun which will become XJ.
  4. The middle girl is Guo Xuan Xuan Which will become XX.
  5. And finally Main girl Zha Mei Le will become ML.
So it should be a bit clearer. Now if I ever blog a recap about them you should know to come here for name references! So let's START! :) The first episode starts with ML going to work. We see her arriving to the office all prepared. She first sees the girl at the front desk and hands her the English homework that girl asked ML to do for her. Then she goes to the people in the

Today's Special: Skip Beat trailer revealed & Yearbook!

I didn't think I'd blog today because I had nothing much to say nor any pictures. But here's my day: I went to school by bus (like every day). At school in the morning I just sat at the library. At lunch I was with my parents instead of at school for a meeting. Afterwards I came back and got my yearbook and went to Math class. Oh nvm I have pictures of my year book! ;D 
 
 
This year's theme is Individuality! Chu chu made the cover! (: And I look chubby in my picture... D; Should've went on a diet before the picture. The people all around me look beautiful! I'm gonna work out before my next year's picture! (: After that I went to the library to work on my APS. well more like practice my APS presentation that went really well. We didn't go over time or under time so we good! (: 
      Now finally Today Skip Beat's trailer was revealed! 
Here's their advert picture:
And Yes, Lee Donghae and Choi Si Won from Super Junior is in it! At first the female lead was suppose to be Ariel Lin (whom I REALLY love). But they changed it to Ivy Chen. So a slight disappointment. I wasn't going to watch it but the trailer is promising. Here it is:

Extra Special: Rebound EP 04 Recap

Rebound hasn't been capturing my attention at all. It feels as if I could shorten this episode into a short paragraph but this time I actually have a lot of pictures so I feel as if I should give a full recap. Let's just say this episode gives you a glimpse into the worries of life all in one go. Rebound does give you a glimpse of life to be real. It gives you someone who's not of average weight who tries all ways just to satisfy the one she loves. She works at a brilliant company and finds herself the job she always wanted. She has a friend that's with her no matter what problems she may face in the future... etc. Really... it's probably the future of many people. This just stuffs it all in at once.
(Click to enlarge photos)

So if you watch this drama and not only read recaps Oba once again retells what has been happening in the past few episodes but I won't if you want to know you can look at previous recaps. (<- Click to see previous recaps under Rebound Category). The episode starts with Oba lying in bed and reaching to the side for Imai. But he's not there. She opens her eyes and looks up seeing him get dressed. But don't worry he's not leaving her. He's just getting ready for a morning run. She insist that she comes and both of them go to work out at the gym.
At the gym they both talk about their past and how they got bullied as kids and never wanted to go to P.E class. After that they go back to the shop ANGE. As he's taking out a tray of cakes Oba gets a

Extended Special: Rebound EP 03 Recap!

Extremely sorry! I’m trying my best right now to catch up to where we should be at. This time there aren’t that many pictures. I have to say it wasn’t as exciting as the first 2 episodes. But still satisfying to the point where I’m writing summaries for it.
 
For last week’s recap please visit: [1] [2]
To understand this week’s recap. I’ll start off with the small recap she gives us herself at the beginning of the episode. She tells us how she worked super hard to become the girl she was before and finally becomes skinny with a special drug that has not yet been tested. She waits for her “prince” at the water fountains but instead a little girl comes over handing over a take away box of cake. Inside are her beloved cream puffs that she had longed for. She tastes them and returns to her happy place where the bells of the church ring. She looks around for Imai but he isn’t there. She gets worried and realizes a man is struggling to get up. She walks over and finds out that it’s Imai – but he’s fat now.
 
The episode now starts with both of them at his bakery Ange. He keeps avoiding eye contact with her but she continuously stares at him. Not believing that he could be fat because he specifically said no to her being fat. He asks her whether she likes the cake and yes she does but still she’s amazed that he could be so fat. He reaches in to his drawers at the back of his store and takes out a pictures explaining that’s he’s always been fat but once his parents died he was in such sorrow that it just happened. He just became skinny. (So the stories been reversed as you can see) After explaining his reasons he reaches down to get bags of snacks and starts chugging them down. Oba looks at him in terror and tries to stop him from eating but his responses is just “I’ll start dieting tomorrow”. He also throws her the fact that she would not like a fat person. She starts to reflect on to her past and tells him that she does understand how he feels because she’s been in the same situation in the past. He looks at her and laughs because he doesn’t believe her from looking at her now.

Today's Special: Chinese Opera leads to Lost Jacket

My Mickey Mouse Sweater!
I woke up at 6:30 today just to go to school for an early performance. Here are some pictures:
 
 
 
Those are pictures before the performance. We had shot cups as drinks for the "customers". I welcomed the people in with a ribbon cutting ceremony. As the narration went on (which was me - I was narrating) I used the rain stick to imitate the rain. Everything went pretty well. my group members have very good improvising skills! :) After the performance my group members had

Today's Special: Happy Valentine's day my single and coupled friends!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
Today's Song of the day:

      Today was my 'let's play pranks on couples' day! So you remember in one of my blogs I told you that Valentine's day would include some red white and names? Well here's the thing, My school's selling roses for valentine's day and people will hand it out (today) on Valentine's day to that person's home room. And of course, I would buy one. or many - five? ;) So before I continue on with my beautiful plan here are roses I received today! :)
I got 2 roses from Aaron. Then 2 from the prank I did to Sonia. But I gave one rose from Aaron to Shakeem because he didn't get any today and

Today's Special: A half bitten cookie

      Today I executed my brilliant plan that will not be revealed until Monday. (Photos may be included). It's a valentine's day plan where many names and red and white is involved. and I'll merge into the valentine's day kinda feel by wearing red, white or pink. I probably won't know what to exactly wear but I'm sure I wanna piss someone off that day! :) I am also thinking about changing up my hairstyle since I'm getting bored of straight bangs lately. I'll probably cut shorter again. 8) But I'm having difficulties cutting the back. So we'll see. 
And as you can see :
 
I added changes to a few pages. (heehee, Eli and Kevin are on my screen caps!) There's now a Love Buffet episode Recap page so that you will not need to search through my entries to find the love buffet recaps. There are only recaps from 3 - 6. and I
