Around the TVB

TVB decided to film a sequel to "To Catch the Uncatchable". YEAH!!! Dayo will be back, but Ada is not confirmed.. hmmm... Let's pray they can shot the sequel together! Meanwhile, Revolving Doors of Vengeance had a great ending for its air ratings. It reached 40 points (that is consider really really really really good). The average of the last 5 episodes was 33 points, not bad for the last week. Also, TVB decided to set a new category "Best Foreign Series category" at the TVB Anniversary. Pretty sure "Dae Jang Geum" is gonna to win. Did you know that TVB even thought about nominating Lee Young Ae in the Best Actress category. Hmm, if she is going to win that, TVB really has no place to stand.

Thoughts on current series

I am in the process of finishing both Healing Hands 3 and Revolving Doors of Vengeance. I began to watch HH3 since last month, that series drags little too much, that's why I am finishing it slowly. But, I found some characters I really like, such as Mellisa Ng, her character is pretty cool. The story line is little better than HH2, but still drags too much. I think that should be a 20 episodes series instead of 40. As for Revolving Doors of Vengeance, that series is super, but also predictable. I am loving Ron and Ella's chemistry, maybe one of the best chemistry of the year. Ella's debut performances are not too bad, her character is really cute. I think I am becoming a Ella fan now... Anyways, my next goal is to watch Ten Brothers and Into Thin Air (the new Michael Miu and Melissa Ng series). I like the title Into Thin Air, sounds like a suspense type of drama...

Looking for pictures

I am looking for TVB actress, who is wearing sunglasses. Doesn't have to be in a series, can just be a normal picture of the actress. So, if you see a picture with a TVB actress wearing sunglasses, don't forget to send that picture to me

Counting up to 1 million

Around the US right now: someone is setting up fake Red Cross websites, and taking advantages on the donators. Be careful about donations, make sure you are donating to the right place. You can go to the offical Red Cross site, it's safer.
Aroumd the TVB right now: the anniversary series is set to be the following: the modern Square Peg and also the series with Moses and Gigi. Also, Esther Kwan is pregnant with a girl! Congrats to her! She and Nick are the perfect couple, I am so happy for them ;-)
Around the TVB Square right now: as you can tell, my hit counter is increasing and increasing. It will hit the 1 million mark really soon. Too soon that I was little surprised. Anyways, I got the new layouts of the site almost ready, which can be launched right after the site hits 1 million. I am going to host a watch party on TVB Square website before the 1 million mark. My prediction for the 1 million mark is about 15-20 days later or sooner, I don't know. Anyways, I will announce on the main TVB Square site when the watch party will be host. Mainly, the watch party will be just a chat session.

TVB and me

People always ask me about my obsession with TVB, when I start to watch the series, what is my favorite series and stars. What did TVB influenced me? How did TVB series affecting my life? All the sudden, I felt like a person under the spotlight, and everyone else is taking a closer look at my interests...

Well, I started watching TVB in the early 90s. Don't remember too much back then, all I remember was that I had a huge crush on Tong Leung for the longest time (I am still obsessed with him). I began to obsess with TVB in 1998 (Obsess means I am watching one series after another). Not sure why I got obsessed, may be I got nothing to do back then, all I wanted was to watch television. Anyways, TVB influenced me in a lot of ways. I wanted to be a firefighter after watching Burning Flame, which turned out to be my favorite series of all time. However, after finding out how hard it is to become a female firefighter, I gave up that idea totally. Then, I wanted to become a doctor or a nurse after watching Healing Hands, but gave up on that after watching HH2. I thought about being a detective after watching DIF series, but changed my idea to become a pilot after watching Triumph in the Skies. I got creative after watching ATE, and began to publish my reviews after watching Secret of My Heart (BF was my first review). I was crazy enough to set up TVB Square more than 3 years ago, and still obsessed enough to maintain it and keep it going and going. Then, I found out I am having sudden crushes with TVB stars one after another, every once a while, if you ask me who is my favorite star, I will tell you a different name. Because, I "switch" them too often. The good thing is, I am only obsessed with one star at a time (I am not the one-foot-step-on-2-boats person). For some stars, I will have a long obsession, which I can not get over with. For the others, I can "get over" with them in just couple weeks. Sounds like you?

When you want something special happen in your life, but people keeps telling you, "you watch too much TV!" How do you feel? Well, people tells me that all the time. A lot of things happened in TV doesn't happen in the real life, but sometimes, I just got stuck with the fiction world, and not thinking about the real world. I pay closely attention to the love stories, imaging the perfect love story, trying to pick up pieces of information, and set my potential really high... I am now becoming a person with full of imaginations, I guess that is a good thing.

I used to have a hate list and a love list for all TVB related stuff. If you read my earlier reviews (I use the word "Hate Factor" a lot), you can clearly tell who I hate and who I love. But, then, I realized hate and love is only one fine line away from each other. One day, someone in my hate list can become one of the top ones in my love list. So, why do I bother hating them anyway? If you read my later reviews, I used the word "Dislike Factor" instead, you see the differences? I belive some of you are experiencing this as well. It is hard to have a good first impression on anyone. Not everyone is hot as Louis Koo and talented as Tony Leung. So, learning not to hate any stars or series was one of my biggest accomplishments as a TVB super fan ;-)

Show Them the Money!

Well, I heard enough people's thoughts about the Hurricane Katrina thing. For some reason, people don't listen to NPR (National Public Radio) enough. If you listen to NPR, you will hear the actual people, who are in New Orleans, suffering through the disaster. Then you will know, how Government treated this issue poorly (they did improve, so what? don't you think it is little too late?).

Well, I don't want to go any further on this issue. So, please stop trying to tell me how great Mr. Bush is, and start thinking about how to help the victims. For example, donate some money. You can save lots energy by donating some money rather than throwing me a hate mail (I won't read it anyway, I just throw to the trash can). Well, in case you don't know the link, here it goes: http://www.redcross.org/

Also, for those of you who likes to express your own feelings instead of reading mine, there is something called Blog. You can go to http://www.blogger.com to start your own little world there. People have different views and thoughts, ok? You don't need to blame people for having different thoughts. Anyway, just donate some money, you will feel better.

No Comments

I am sure you have noticed that I get rid of all the comments section for all of the polls. Lots people already accuse me for not letting people speak out their minds. Well, sorry. I had to get rid the comments section, because I am tired to deleting the comments with the trash talk. Clearly, someone doesn't listen to my warnings, so if you want to blame, you can blame those ones who keeps throwing the trash talk in my blog or polls.

By the way, someone accused me for being a person with no brain. Well, if I don't like Mr. Bush, and someone loves him, that's no problem with me, you don't have to say that I have no brain. That is really a stupid comment to make.

Thanks!

When disaster meets war

Disasters are unpredictable and yet uncontrollable. Look at poor New Orleans right now, half of the city is under water, the other half is shooting against each other. It almost feels like the end of the world for the city of New Orleans, knowing that it might not even rebuild.

It is sad to turn on television and radio stations, listening to the situations in New Orleans, while the Government is not trying their best to help. What New Orleans really need right now is the troops, who can really stop the violence and get the people out of the city. But, where are the troops right now? They are in Iraq, wasting their time and lives for nothing. So, when disaster meets war, there are complications, and yet, we can't blame anyone but Mr. Bush...
