2005 Next TV Awards

Top 10 Stars:

Small Awards:
Most Bright Star (male): Alex Fong; Most Bright Star(female): Mandy Cho

My thoughts: I want to congrat to Ron! He is the only male under 30 that made into the top 10 list! He is also the first! Raymond didn't even make it, this is interesting! Where is Roger Kwok? I felt little sad to know that he is not in top 10. What is up with Blade Heart? That is one of the worst series, but it made into top 10! Twin of Brothers is way better than that! I am also in the process of collecting the pictures for this award. The pictures are really great. I will post those under the Gallery section sometimes later the week.

April Watch List

I remember 2 months ago, I was willing to make any excuses to skip the series "My Family", but now, I am ending up watching it, and loving it. You see, you can do the same thing too! I enjoyed My Family more than Love Bond, because Love Bond is too long, that series should be ended at episode 20, not 30.

For April, "The Academy" tops my watch list, I believe it will top yours too! I am already in love with the poster, and I can not wait anymore to hear the themesongs! Speaking of the themesongs, have you realized that most of the themesongs for the current series were sang by the stars in that series? I think this is really awesome! The stars get to have chances to sing!

Hosting a Birthday

Well, I am not 3 years old, but my "baby" is! As a webmaster of TVB Square, I am feeling like a parent, and I am so happy that many people are celebrating with me! Looking at all the contest entries, I am falling love with every single creations. This was the whole reason I created the Fan Creations section in my Extras page (http://www.tvbsquare.com/extras.htm). I want to say thank you to all the people who submit their creations. The contests are over, but I will love to get more stuff from you if you guys want to see your creations posted on my site. Feel free to express your creativity!

Today, I finally got the Backstreet Boys concert ticket! I am so excited to see them in April! The last time I saw them was back in August of 2000! My gosh, I am feeling old! By the way, Brian Littrell is my favorite Backstreet Boy. He is my "soul-mate", hehe... I am going to post the new Backstreet song in my web ~.~

The matter of obsession

You all know I am obsessed with TVB, but do you know what else I am obsessed about everyday? Well, if I tell you, you have to promise not to laugh at me, and not to post negative comments about my obsession, ok? If you read my about page (http://www.tvbsquare.com/about.htm), you might have an idea about my obsession.

Yeah, it is the Backstreet Boys. Length of my obsession: ever since 1997, and it will keep going and going, for me, it is an endless obsession. How obsessed am I? I think I am obsessed with the Backstreet Boys more than anything else in the world (that includes TVB). I had my room covered with Backstreet Boys posters, I have all their CDs (at least 2 copies of each CD, one in my room, one in my car), I have all their videos (include the ones you will never find in store), I have a big collection of their magazine articles, fan fictions and pictures. I also went to 4 of their concerts (expensive tickets o). There are many crazy things I will do for them, if I don't have TVB series to balance me out, I will be in the mental hospital by now (yes, I am insane!)

I can't wait to share this with you, because the Backstreet Boys are back (after 4 years of rest), their first single for their brand new album will be out soon, it is called "Incomplete". I heard it, it is so beautiful (as always ~.~) I JUST CAN NOT WAIT ANY LONGER!!!!

What do you want to know about an autograph session

Last weekend, I went to get an autograph from my favorite basketball player, it was the first autograph session I ever attend, and I learned so much things, so I decided to share something with you. No matter what kind of authgraph session you are going to, it is useful to have the following check list (created specially by me!!!!)
(1) Days before the autograph session, make a personalized item (postcard or poster will do). Make it as personal as it can be. Find out what the celebrity like (fav book, birth city etc), you can include those in your poster, and your celebrity will say "cool..."
(2) On the autograph day, be there EARLY!!!! Make sure you bring a book to read, otherwise you will be bored to tears.
(3) Celebrities always show up late, so don't give up waiting. As I told you, bring a book or project to work on!
(4) Bring a friend with you, so that you won't pass out!
(5) Make sure you know what you going to say to your celebrity. Don't be like me, I almost had a nervous breakdown when I see my favorite basketball player, and I was speachless, I forgot all the things I want to say to him!

Current Recommendation - Love Bond

I don't care how much "Love Bond" will remind you of "Family Man" and "Shine on You". I don't care how much you don't care about the typical-family-story-line. You still need to grab "Love Bond", and watch it from the beginning to the end.

Love Bond has a better typical-family-story-line than all the other ones. It has its emotional moments, great performances, and awesome casts. Love Bond has the best chemistry you will ever expect. Michael-Kenix are one of my favorite on screen couples of all time, but Moses-Bernice can top them! I am totally in love with Moses and Bernice, this two are too cute together! No wondering why there is a rumor about them (are they real lovers? I don't even know, but for sure, their on screen chemistry rocks the entire series!)

Ron, Tavia & Myolie @ Canada

Oh my gosh, I am about to hit someone! I am getting so jealoused to all of you who went to see Ron, Tavia and Myolie at Toronto. I can't believe I am not there! Being such a big fan of all of them, I got no choice but staying at home and waiting for pictures! I want more pictures! Please send to me at tvbsquare@gmail.com

There are some series you might not want to watch, because you are thinking you want to skip it for whatever reason. But, you should not skip the following ones (for 2003/2004 productions):
2003
Greed Mask - this one wasn't aired in HK, but you can not miss it, the story is exciting, creepy and smart
Seed of Hope - this is a very educational series, very meaningful. Feels warm when you watch it
Heart of Fencing - if you think Sunshine Heartbeat is good, this one is 100,000 times better, and then you will think Sunshine Heartbeat wasn't good after all
Find the Light - good story, great chemistry, awesome casts, what else do you want?!
Lofty Waters Verdant Bow - just watch it for the death scene of Michelle's character, you will go crazy for it

Picture of the Week - 3/10

There are so many different Wedding Promotions by the TVB stars recently. This is getting better and better ~.~

In the Spotlight

I love this little blog more and more now, because I love reading all the comments which left by some of the visitors. Every time I know someone is loving my website for whatever reason, I feel like I am on the cloud (this means I am feeling really good).

Anyways, I am watching numbers of shows right now, including Legend of Fairy and Sword (also called Chinese Paladin), My Family and Love Bond. Legend of Fairy and Sword is not too bad, it is a little bit cheesey, but I still like it. I thought the special effects look pretty cool, but not as good as the TVB productions. Hmmm... I think TVB is improving more and more on making the special effects, way to go

Opinion Driving...

I understand that everyone has their different feelings about certain TVB star or series. I understand that everyone wants to express their postive and negative comments, so that they can feel better. I understand these because I am expressing my thoughts all over the TVB Square website. But, the difference is: I don't use bad language. You see in the TVB Reviews page? Almost every series as a poll, and people can write their little comments there. But, I am getting tired of checking every single comment to make sure there is no bad language exist.

I welcome negative comments, you can drop me as many hate mails as you want, but, please do not use bad language in a public place. You have to realize that the visitors come to TVB Square ages from 10 to whatever... Please make sure everything is in a "PG-13" version.

Lost

Thanks to many of you who keep telling me about the "Reply: 200 OK" error with the ASFRecorder. I finally fixed that thing, thanks to my brain. But, it did took me a while to figure out what that message meant. Anyways, everything is back in order now.

Today, you see lots of updates on TVB Square, because I don't have anything to watch at this moment, so I have a little more time to update other sections. I put more Chilam-Charmaine and Ron-Linda pictures in the Gallery section, because a lot of you are asking for those. So, enjoy it.

To those of you, who are interested to know what are my favorite American TV Series, I am going to tell you now. My all time favorite is perhaps Buffy the Vampire Slayer, that is the whole reason I named my dog Buffy, and everyone loved her! My other favorite is the one and only original CSI (Crime Scene Investigation), because it reminds me a little about DIF series. My recent favorite is a series called Lost, it is about a group of passengers who got lost on a strange island after their airplane crushed. Hmmm, I wish TVB can do something like this, it will be interesting. Anyway, I am feeling a little lost as well, too much personal stuff is coming to hit me. But, I am really glad that people are loving TVB Square...

Pictures of the Week - March 03

Here is the wedding promotion picture of Chilam and Charmaine ~.~

New Series: Misleading Track

Misleading Track
Starring: Bowie Lam, Louisa So, Deric Wan, Christine Ng, Tseung Wai Kuen
Who pair with whom: Deric - Louisa (Husband and Wife)
Themesong by: Bowie Lam
Who is the villain: Deric (for sure), Bowie (not sure), Tseung Wai Kuan
Thumbs up: Deric is back as a villain, that makes me exciting because of his unforgetable performances in "Looking Back in Anger". Louisa So as the lead for the first time, I always like her as a supporting cast, and now she is going to prove more. Bowie as a villain (by reading the storyline, it says Bowie will turns into a villain, but some people says Bowie just pretending to be bad.)
Thumbs down: Am I expecting too much from this series? Will it disappoint me?
