I've recently been having and interesting experience.

Basically I've been learning Mandarin though various sources, but mostly the dramas. But a lot of times I memorize or remember words/phrases in Mandarin, but forget what they mean in english. But at various times I'll randomly mumble them in a situation that seems appropriate.... It's odd.

Also, I FINALLY found the characters for "okay"/"alright"... it took me forever, for some reason. 好了 (hǎo le, it's kinda pronounced like "holla", except with tones... so it's hard to describe accurately). 了 is actually a particle, like 嗎. Yay for random Mandarin grammar learnings!

I'm close to the end of Fated to Love You (I just finished ep 19/24... so I have eps 20 and 21 downloaded, and I can get the rest off youtube). But, luckily, I started (and finished...) downloading Wish to See You Again, so now I have all the raws, and 11/16 of the subs for them.

I'm also still downloading MG2, because I WILL eventually watch it. I'm still angry at it now though. Maybe after Wish to See You Again, when I'll want to see another Zai Zai drama.

Though I've had difficulties finding some dramas, I've never come across one I wan't able to get in some form. I think the hardest was/is Goong, since it won't freaking download! I've been downloading it for like, several weeks now, and it's STILL at 95.7%! I could always buy it, but meh. Maybe I can find the missing pieces from youtube or something. Meteor Garden 1 was also difficult to find. And I can't, for the life of me, find Marmalade Boy in decent quality (the one I have is HORRIBLE). ANNNNNND I'm exhausted. Seriously exhausted. I'm going to sleep now!

( Drama/Anime List update 31Aug08 )

Added about 5 more dramas, and the animes I've watched previously. I also added a Chinese Drama category, since apparently two of the dramas I thought were Taiwanese, were, in fact, Chinese (they both have Taiwanese actors).

Current Drama: Fated to Love You
Next Drama: Wish to See You Again


EDIT: Finished Fated to Love You! OMG! It was sooooooo...oooo cute!!! I love the plot, and the characters, and all the actors in it!! I was particularly impressed with Chen Qiao En (Joe Chen). She was utterly adorable as Chen Xin Yi, and I can't wait to see her in Prince Turns to Frog (which will probably be my next drama. Yay Ming Dao!). Also, as I'm wont to do with lead actors (really, does anyone else talk like me?! Who says "wont" anymore?!), I fell in love with Ethan Ruan. He's wicked hot... I love his eyebrows, and, dear God, his voice. Holy shit he has a nice voice. That's the one thing that kinda bothers me about Jerry Yan... his voice doesn't seem to fit him. Anyway, yeah, GOOOD series.

BUT!!! I forgot!!! There was drinking (but not much), but there were no motorcycles!!!!! My understanding of Taiwanese dramas has been shattered!!! NO MOTORCYCLES!!!

(I've only watched some of the opening credits of Wish to See You Again so far, but there are definitely motorcycles in it)

Also Updated!;
Current Drama: Wish to See You Again
Next Drama: Prince Turns to Frog (probably, but I might change my mind later!)
