Haircut
LA-sub. i really need to practice my speech.Shop- nothing much really
Physics- nothing much either
Chinese- ajflsd
Algebra- ajflksd
SS-changed seats. its okayy
Media Tech- asjdflid
Wow, today was a boring day. God, i hate mondays. so much.
So I got a haircut yesterday.
Before- around 3 inches below chest.
After- 5 inches below shoulder. (a little bit above chest.)
I'm sooo not used to it, and I miss my old hair. I wanted a trim. to my chest. But its like...too short now.
Whatever, it'll grow back. I hope it grows back fast.
It kinda looks like Fala Chen (cantonese actress), when she got a short haircut.
Except, she splits her hair more like down the middle ish, i guess. and if i do that to my hair, it looks like crap, cuz of the face shape. Andd, my hair is like 5-6 inches longer than that.I have soo much tests and other school related stuff going on. Urghh, i just want it to be summer already. I wish I had a time machine and could fast forward to June. Yeah, i'm okay with June.

Things We Have in Common
WANNA NO A WEIRD SECRET ABOUT ME? THIS POST IS INTERESTING. I PROMISE.LA- peer edit for media topic essay.
Shop- we dropped our egg from 20 ft. today! Ours (MW and I) didn't break :)
Physics- review.
Chinese- blah.
Algebra- Exit question/ mini quiz. I got 100%!
SS- sub again for the 4th time this week. Continued Amistad. There was an okay ending. I was mad that when Cinque returns to Africa, his family is gone. :/
Media Tech- animation. URGHH.
I've decided to leave the rest of the 30 day drama challenge to summer. There's only less than 2 months of school left, and I wanna focus these in school. Plus, with all the hw, test, projects, crap, etc, I just don't have time for that. So the rest of the days of the challenge will be picked from in the summer. :D
So I finished watching this episode of Happy Camp (china tv show/talk show) with JJ Lin in it, and OMGG. I totally flipped out when JJ was telling the host his little weird secret. GUESS WHAT?!?
HE likes to smell books, and paper related stuff. Like if he gets a book, magazine, piece of paper, whatever, the first thing he does (or the thing that he likes to do) is to smell the paper. AND DUDE, ME TOO.
I've never thought that I'd find someone that smells books and pieces of paper like me. I thought it was just something weird about me. But NOOO, one of my favorite artist also does it.. I feel special that I have this in common with JJ (:
And no, I'm not just making this up. You can ask my brother. I love to smell books, especially new ones. *sniff* ahhh~ My brother always say that someone can make me die or faint easily by sending me a letter or book through mail and putting like poisonous powder on it. -.-
Anyways....yeah. JJ and me....we're weird ;)

Day 19: Favorite dynasty costumed drama?
Day 19: Favorite dynasty costumed drama?
Title: Can't Buy Me Love (公主嫁到)
Broadcast period: 8/23/10-10/03/10
Starring: Charmaine Sheh, Moses Chan, Linda Chung, Raymond Wong, Fala Chen, Kenneth Ma, Sharon Chan, etc
Synopsis:
Set during the Tang Dynasty of China, Can't Buy Me Love tells the story of the Third Princess, Princess Chiu Yeung (Charmaine Sheh), of the Tang Emperor (Samuel Kwok), who is beautiful but very unreasonable, and, as such, no one wants to marry her. The Kam family is the largest gold manufacturer in the grand capital Chang'an, but because they are deceived, the business runs into troubles. The second son of the Kam family Kam Tuo Luk (Moses Chan) has to marry the Third Princess to save the family business, because then they will have the right to manufacture gold pieces for the Tang Palace, the Third Princess only agreeing to the marriage because otherwise she would be married off to the Tibetan king Songtsän Gampo, as schemed by the evil Concubine Wei (Kara Hui).
Will this couple find true love?The plot sounds okay, but it's actually pretty good. Especially since there's a lot of actors and actresses I like :)
There's a lot of other good dynasty costumed dramas, but yeah...

Day 18: Name a Drama you dropped, and why?
There's A LOT. Basically, all the bad dramas I've seen from here i have dropped: http://dreams-forlife.blogspot.com/2012/04/day-6-your-least-favorite-asian-drama.html
I'm gonna talk about the drama "So I'm not handsome."
Title: So I'm not handsome (原來我不帥)
Broadcast: 1/13/08-4/06/08
Starring: JJ Lin, Nicky Lee, Michael Zhang, Alice Ceng, etc.
Synopsis:
Xiao Zhuang always thought he was a good-looking fella because that was what his parents always told him. However, after starting university, he was in for a surprise when the girl he liked turned him down. His friends finally told him the truth, which was that he wasn't good-looking at all. But he has a nice heart. Can he use his inner beauty to get his dream girl to fall in love with him?
The plot sounds okay, but seriously, and no offense, but the people in this drama does not know how to act AT ALL. Their acting is very fake, and exaggerated, they can't play the role they're suppose to, and it's very hard for me to be convinced that they're that character. They lack something that separates them from good actors.
As much as I LOVE JJ Lin and all his music; truth is, he's not a good actor. I guess that's why this is the only drama he's been in.

Day 17: The next drama you wanna watch?
I wanna watch King of Boxing/ Gloves Come off (拳王) quite badly. Came out a few days ago. Because of school, I barely have enough time to do this 30 day drama challenge, so watching a whole series of drama? Nope. Guess I have to wait until summer? Urghh.
Title: King of Boxing/ Gloves come off (拳王)
Broadcast: 4/16/12-
Starring: Kevin Cheng, Raymond Wong, Selena Li, Nancy Wu, Edwin Siu, etc
Synopsis:
Tong Sap Yat (Kevin Cheng) is an amazing Muy Thai boxer. He trains with his senior Ko Wai Ting (Kenny Wong) far out in Thailand. Money lures the pair to enter boxing in Thailand’s black market. As a result of his decision for money, he made a mistake that would haunt him for life. So he decides to turn over a new leaf and return to Hong Kong eager to leave his past behind. He finds himself a job in the security department of a good sports company. His outspoken and out going personality has caused him to become the centre of attraction in his superior’s, Chai Pak Fai (Selena Li), romantic life. All along he has been hoping to lead a simple life out of the boxing ring however that all changes when he encounters an assistant manager, Pat Ka Sing (Raymond Wong) working in the same company as him. At first the two have a misunderstanding between them but that cleared up and soon enough they were turned from foes to friends. Ka Sing has a strong passionate love towards Muy Thai boxing and that was enough to revive Sap Yat’s passion for the sport...
Yeah..the synopsis doesn't sound too interesting. That's why I didn't even try to highlight or make certain words a different color to get your attention. The synopsis I copied was definitely boring.
Butttt Raymond Wong's a great actor, and Kevin Cheng is TVB King of 2011, so it HAS to be a great drama. I've always thought about them together in a drama, never thought it'd actually come true. :D Really wanna watch it!

Day 12: Your favorite Drama ending?
I personally believe the ending song for a drama is very important, so i remember endings better than openings. okay.
1. 三寸天堂(san cun tian tang) Three Inches of Heaven- 嚴藝丹
Drama: 步步驚心 Scarlet Heart
 |
| The artist. |
It's a beautiful song, and I got hooked from the first time. The melody is the best part. The artist also had a sweet high voice.
2. 好的事情(hao de shi qing) Good things(?)-嚴爵Yen J
Drama: 醉後決定愛上你 Drunken to love you/love you
 |
| The album for this song. |
Quite a catchy melody, but I didn't start liking it until umm...the 4th time i heard it? So the first song's still better. But still, this one's awesome too.

Truth is, after I watch a drama, if i don't download the songs, I forget about them.
So I'm just gonna pick a random one.
Title: 向陽 (xiang yang) Face the sun(?)
Artist: 思涵 Csha.
Drama: 飯糰之家 Rice family
The reason why I like it is because its a cheerful, happy, lively song, and it's catchy.
Also, Csha is a very talented singer. Her voice is awesome.

Day 10: Your favorite Drama insert song?
I like a few here and a few there so it's kinda hard to choose.
I'm gonna pick 2.
- 放了自己(Fang le zi ji)- Let go of yourself by Magic Power 魔幻力量
this band's pretty new, I prefer their faster, more upbeat songs rather than this slower sad song. If JJ or Leehom or someone more experienced in singing had sang it, it would've been even better. But still, I like it either way(:
2. 我們都傻 (Wo men dou sha)- We are all silly by Rainie Yang 楊丞琳
Rainie Yang has a beautiful voice (and pretty good acting skills too) which really brings out this song.
They're both in Mandarin Chinese and from the Taiwanese drama 醉後決定愛上你 (Drunken to love you/Love you).
They both have a nice melody and both pretty sad songs, and I can make a connection with the lyrics, so that's why I like them.

Day 9: Favorite drama that was awarded
Day 9: Favorite drama that was awarded
I'm pretty sure dramas I've mentioned before like Fated to love you, has won at least one, if not, multiple awards.
So I'm gonna talk about a new one. Days We Stared at the Sun. (literal meaning: They exploded the day before graduation)
It won best drama in Asian Television Awards in 2011 and several awards in Taiwan's Golden Bell Awards.
Chen Hao Yuan is a good student with a mellow personality. His best friend, Hong Cheng Yi, is a bad student who did time in juvenile detention for bank robbery. Together they helped their classmate get off drug addiction, exposed their teacher’s dirty secrets, and even tried to find the bees that have gone missing because of the upcoming 2012 apocalypse. Then one day, their lives turned for the worse when a senator and his loan sharks caused Hao Yuan’s father to commit suicide. The boys got a gun and decided to explode the day before their high school graduation.
It's a very short drama, only 5 episodes. But the story is very touching and it offers more to the audience than any 20episodes drama.
I don't know how you describe this drama. It seems a bit more realistic, and it's not about a love triangle. There's some lovey dovey stuff, but that's not the main point. The main point is the friendship, and overcoming their hard lives, and proving justice.
Very sad ending. Gosh, it's always the sad endings that's good.
Also, it' kinda inappropriate sometimes. Definitely a must see. And it's very short, so it won't drag on.

Day 8: Your favorite Cantonese Drama?
There's a lot to choose from....
Bottled Passion.
One of my favorite, and it's unforgettable.
Synopsis:
Mrs Ko, Tung Kwok Hing (Rebecca Chan) adopted an orphan and claimed he was Ko Yi Ho (Raymond Wong), the illegitimate child that her husband Ko Siu Tong (Samuel Kwok) had been searching for many years. Tong believed Ho was more suitable than his oldest son Ko Yi Tai (Joel Chan) to be his successor, which later led Mrs. Ko's discontent. Eventually, Mrs.Ko attempted to murder Ho, luckily he survives. But he becomes homeless, and living out alone, Ho got a taste of the bitterness in life and was determined to return home and take revenge on his adopted family under a different name Tung Bun Sin. Under his new identity, he vowed to give them a taste of losing their loved ones. Meanwhile he runs into the naive, trusting Tsui Sum (Niki Chow), who had just taken over her family business. Seeing an opportunity, Ho deceives Tsui Sum of her family business and all her familys' money in order to get closer to the Ko family. However, old ties, secrets, and memories of a childhood sweetheart come back to haunt him. Eventually Ho embarks on a road that threatens the lives of all he holds dear, and the life of the only woman he's ever loved.
In my opinion, Raymond Wong and Niki Chow really did a good job with this drama. Their acting was very real. And I really admire Raymond's acting skills. Every drama his in, he gets in the shoe of the character he's portraying. He's probably #1 on my list for good acting skills. Excellent...
I had wished it would end happily, but who ever wrote the script just had to make it a tragedy :/

Day 6: Your least favorite Asian Drama?
Day 6: Your least favorite Asian Drama?
There's a few. And they're all Taiwanese. Taiwanese dramas are either superrr good or they can bore you to death. I'm gonna talk mainly about one, and then list 2 other bad ones. Just to make sure you don't watch them.
Meteor Garden 1. Soo freaking bad. I think there's like a 2. Whatever. Super old drama. Aired in 2001. And the actors and actresses in this drama has changed DRAMATICALLY. All the guys became 10 times hotter and the girls became 10 times prettier. That's not the point..okay..
Synopsis:
"The story centers around a poor teenage girl named Shan Cai (Barbie Hsu), who at the insistence of her parents goes to a university for rich people. The university is dominated by Dao Ming Si (Jerry Yan), Hua Ze Lei (Vic Zhou), Mei Zuo (Vanness Wu) and Xi Men (Ken Chu), four rich and handsome but arrogant students collectively known as 'F4', short for 'Flower 4'. They are heirs to four rich and influential families in Taiwan. They terrorize the school by handing out red cards to those they do not like, which allows other students to bully the victims until they leave the school.
After one of Shan Cai's friends receives the wrath of F4's leader, Dao Ming Si, and receives a red card, Shan Cai stands up to Dao Ming Si and slaps him, which in turn results in a red card of her own. However, Shan Cai's persistence in standing up for what is right gradually gains F4's respect and Dao Ming Si falls in love with her."
These actors have improved a LOT though. Like the 2nd guy from the left. I watched a more recent drama of him and he's hella funny in that drama. Moving on...other bad dramas:
- E Nu A Chu. There's no English title for this one. The actors and actresses were pretty bad in this one too. And there was a boring plot. And it draggged on.
- Rice Family. This one actually isn't that bad. The beginning was reallyy good. There was a good hook. And the actors and actresses had good acting skills. But after like the 20th or 30th episode, it was all a drag. Veryy boring. And it goes on all the way to episode 60. I didn't finish it.

Happy birthday Linda!! The picture above is from 3 years ago, but whatever..
I'll take this time to introduce you to one of my favorite actress.
She was born in Vancouver and won the 2003 Miss Chinese Vancouver Pageant, then the following year in 2004 she won Miss Chinese International Pageant. Now she's an actress under TVB and a singer under Star Shine International Label. In 2006, she won "Most Improved Female Actress Award" in the TVB Anniversary Awards.
Her rumored boyfriend is Raymond Lam. (They're a cute couple whether they're really dating or not).
Other very recent info:
She went back to Vancouver from Hong Kong just a few days ago to celebrate her birthday with her family.
Oh she's turning 28.
Okay, I guess that's it.
Happy birthday! <33

This drama holds the record for the highest average single-episode rating at 10.91 with a peak at 13.64. So, this drama is a MUST WATCH. It brings you to tears and it makes you laugh so hard you fall out of your seat.

Day 4: Your first Taiwanese Drama?
I think Day 1's post answered this question. My first Taiwanese Drama (that I actually remember watching) is Pawnshop No.8. Here's another drama that I watched when I was little. It's been around for forever <3 and there's 9 seasons. I've only seen the first and 2nd season.
It may look old and nerdy but it's really not, and it's hella funny and one of my all time favorites.
Synopsis(danngit, there's no english version in wikipedia. gotta write this myself -.-):
A group of students in the same class. They're best friends and they do all these crazy and funny stuff outside of class. They have a close relationship with their teacher. Uhhh yeah. Every episode is different..kinda.
As you can see, I'm really bad at explaining.

Sorry, I’ve never watched a Korean drama before. And I probably won’t any time soon…
I watched 8 min. of Dream High 2 though. So I guess I’ll just post a pic of that.
I like the cursive Dream High on the picture. It looks nice :D
Anyways, synopsis:
Shin Hae-sung (Kang Sora) enters the Kirin High School of Art with a high written exam score, but a poor performance score. She then meets fellow students Jin Yoon Jin (Jung Jin-woon) and JB, who make her realize how fun music can be. Yoo-jin originally broke into the entertainment industry as a child actor, but now is a troubled student who dreams of becoming a rock star. He attempts to cure the pain caused by his parent’s divorce through music.

Day 2: Your first Japanese Drama?
I dont..usually watch Japanese dramas. Mostly cantonese and taiwanese, and occasionally chinese.
The first Japanese drama I watched is One liter of tears. It's sooo freaking sad. Saddest drama ever. And what's worse, that it's a true story. :'(
Synopsis:
"This beautifully moving drama is based on the real-life struggles of a 15-year-old girl named Aya who suffered from an incurable disease, but lived life to the fullest until her death at 25. The script is based on the diary Aya kept writing until she could no longer hold a pen. The book that later followed entitled “One Litre of Tears" has sold over 1.1 million copies in Japan alone. Fifteen year old Ikeuchi Aya was just a normal girl, soon to be high school student and daughter of a family who works at a shop that makes tofu. As time passed, unusual things started happening to Aya lately. She started falling down often and walking in a strange way. Her mother Shioka, takes Aya to see the doctor, and he informs Shioka that Aya has spinocerebellar degeneration - a terrible disease where the cerebellum of the brain gradually deteriorates to the point where the victim cannot walk, speak, write, or eat. A cruel disease, as it does not affect the mind in the least. How will Aya react when told about her disease? And how will Aya live from now on?"

Umm I've watched dramas all my life. When I was really really little, my family watched Taiwanese dramas that I dont even remember. So i really don't know the first drama I watched. The oldest one that I actually remember watching is probably Pawnshop No.8.
Synopsis:
The legend has it that if you can locate Pawnshop No. 8, it will honor any request you may have, as long as you are willing to pay for the price. It accepts valuable jewelry or house deed. It also gladly accepts your limbs, your love, your sanity, your child's future, and the most valuable commodity to the pawnshop, your soul.
You want to pawn your ability to love in exchange for saving your dying wife? Done. You want to pawn your fashion design talent for your mother's love? Done.You want to pawn your soul so that coldhearted woman would die a horrendous death in her every reincarnation? Done. By the way, Pawnshop No. 8 loves returning customers. This time, you pawn your friendship to be the top man in your business. Next time, you may just pawn your soul to stay on top.

After school I went to math tutorial to make up my test. Hope I did good...it was pretty easy, but then, again, you never know...
And then I spent around 20 min. in PE tutorial. It was sooo boring. And then i went to HW club. and that was FUNN. super fun.
I have no hw today, except for the media log, and that doesnt even count as hw.
OMG, i just checked my grade, and i got 21/22 for the math test!!I reached my goal!(: Now for the physics test...i wonder when its gonna get graded...

Anyways, hope I do good on all three tests. For the physics test, I hope I get at least an A- or A. For math test...whatever it's out of, my goal is an A. No A-. For LA, i'm expecting 100%.
I can't wait until Spring Break. I'm sooo ready to get outta school for a week. School is KILLING ME with all the essays, homework, and tests. blahh. And I wanna make some changes to my blog. The only way I can do that is if I have time.
I guess that's it....

1st place(:
whew...okay. I'm calm.
Chinese competition was today!! And..we WONNN. No kidding. WE WON FIRST PLACE!!!
If you're still reading this, you're probably wondering what the heck did I compete in anyways. So i'll tell you.
The person gives u a chinese phrase and you gotta come up with a new phrase. The new phrase's first word must be the same as the last word for the previous phrase. and you keep going and going. You know why we won though? We practiced and memorized a loop. So all we needed to do was get the word to a certain ending, and then we have 10 other words following that. We like never stopped writing.
Each round was 5 min. We were competing against 5 other groups (each with 4 ppl). And then 2 teams got eliminated and we ended up with 2-3 min for each round. At the last round, we were sooo good, like we were already halfway through the 2nd page before the other teams got to the 2nd page. We so pro :) So proud of myself, and my teammates.
Oh and then someone said during the first 2 rounds, when the judges tallied the votes, we already had like 1000 points. The next highest score was 600, so by the 2nd round, we were already winning. :)
The award ceremony took FOREVER. and I was all anxious and nervous and shizz. It took 2 hours before they finally announced our category and announced us winners! I was already screaming when the person said who won 2nd place, cuz i knew first place had to be us. I was YELLING. omgg..such a happy moment. My smile was too big for my face. They gave us all a medal, and our teacher gets a trophy, but they're gonna make 4 more trophies for us. Can't wait to get them! Dangg..today feels good :D
Ohh, today's April fools day.
Did you fall for the JJ's concert thingy? HAHAHHAHA, Happy April Fools! I was just kidding xD
but winning the competition and getting 1st place is true tho. 100% true. No, I'm not fooling you.
