Horror movie? No thanks. Horror movie starring Zhang Rui Jia? Yes please!

I've been behind on everything recently, even more than usual. So, I’m sorry if I haven't answered comments or commented much on entries. It’s been a tough week in that I've been pretty constantly exhausted caused by a change in diet. I fell asleep really early again last night…

Good things have been happening though. I'm making more finalized plans for my study term in Taiwan, which is super exciting. Right now it's down to trying to decide on which school to attend.

Yesterday I was reading some news on an english language Taiwanese newspaper site, and came across a review for a Taiwanese movie I didn't know.

Still watching and loving Kimi wa Petto! Though I'm only on episode 3. I fell asleep in the middle of watching it yesterday...

True Love 18 is pretty kickass so far!

I used my lunch break to finish watching Kimi wa Petto episode 3 (how can they end the episode like that?! Gah!), and True Love 18 episode 1.


True Love 18 is one of those old twdramas (2002 is old in twdrama-land) that very few people have seen. Up until recently it hasn't been subbed.

I was interested in seeing it because it was Ariel Lin's first drama. But also; Joseph Chang is in it (his first drama as well)!

Anyway, from the first episode it looks QUITE promising. It's touching on one of my major kinks; teacher/student. And it's actually two student/teacher relationships...

So far Ariel is adorable as per usual. She looks SO YOUNG despite being 20-21 in it. The main male protagonist, Shi Yi Nan, is someone I'd never seen before. I like him though. He looks vaguely like... someone. Maybe Vanness, I'm not sure. Anyway, he was also in Diary of Sex and the City with Cheryl Yang (CHERYL YANG!).

Yi Nan and Ariel's relationship seems to be the focus of the show, but there is a major secondary relationship happening between another teacher and Ariel's friend. It's going to be cute; Ariel's friend is kinda a prostitute (literally, she get calls from dudes, and has sex with them for money.... thus she is a prostitute), and the teacher is sweet and gentle, and kinda dorky. I love relationships where the girl is the experienced initiator.

I'm not sure what Joseph is doing as of yet, but whatever, he's hot. He can stand around doing nothing and it'd still add to the show.

It's pretty sad though. Xu Wei Lun plays the prostitute girl, and I know everytime I see her I'm going to be sad (in case you're not up on your tw-stars, Xu Wei Lun was killed in a car accident two years ago. She was only 28 at the time). It was the same for me watching Lee Un in Coffee Prince.

Also! Lin Mei Xiu plays Ariel's alcoholic mother, which is pretty awesome. I love Lin Mei Xiu... she's in everything, and she always goes a great job (she plays Cheryl's mother in My Queen... jeez, there's a lot of Cheryl connections here, which naturally means I'm getting good vibes. I ♥ Cheryl tons). This was her first drama too!

I'm irritated by the lack of GD's album this (and next) month. I KNOW they're taking a (very deserved) break, but I'm an impatient person. So damn it, release new music! They just filmed a CF for Caffe Latte coffee, so maybe a digital single will be released. That would make me happy! I tend to really like their digital singles. I don't, on the other hand, like coffee (tastes gross to me, plus caffeine is bad for your system).

I've been going through a bit of a metamorphosis on which Big Bang songs are my favorites. Originally my favorites were Number 1, Strong Baby, Last Farewell, Haru Haru, and How Gee. I've recently been loving Everything, Heaven, Goodbye Baby, The FILA, A Good Man, and Until Whenever. Strange.

Anyway, speaking of their coffee CF... Vicky uploaded a behind the scenes thing here. And it contained something that is MADE OF WIN.

TOP sporting the cutest/hottest mini ponytail ever. It's not just me, he's been utterly irresistible lately. He was always hot. He's SUPER hot now.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY princess_dexter! I know it's not the 24th anymore in Australia, but there's still 53 minute left in the day here, so I'm counting it!
