Hi!

Hi friends, readers and passersby! Have you all been feeding your drama addiction while I’m gone?

What’s that? You were sad to see me disappear without so much as a warning? You broke your mouse hitting the refresh button hoping for an update? Oh that’s very kind of you (and narcissistic of me — c’mon let me feel self-important for a moment will ya?).

Well, I’ve been busy. I went on a vacation, moved from one place to another, and… surprise! I’m moving again in a few days (yeah it’s been stress and stress). So when life settles, I’ll be back and hopefully find my old sense of humor and a good drama to recap (or if I can’t find one, finish the many unfinished drafts already sitting on my hard drive). Meanwhile, what’s everybody been watching? Sungkyunkwan Scandal? Queen of Reversals?

“To Hebe”, from Hebe

S.H.E’s Hebe released her solo album “To Hebe” on the 3rd. I’ve been listening to it, it’s departs from S.H.E’s usual flavor but it certainly reflects Hebe’s individuality. It opts for a more mellow feel instead of the typical trendy sound, and I really like it.

PS Man: Issue 3

Everybody flocks to the hospital to see Little Top, including his alleged mother, Amy. The child gets a few gentle scolds here and there but the air of relief is visible in the hospital room.

Amy fumes that the kindergarten teachers weren’t doing their job, their negligence almost cost a child his life. Xiaoqian launches into a series of apologies — Amanda’s call breaks the tension. Wanting some privacy, Amy instructs the adults to leave and waits until everyone has left the room to hand Little Top the phone. Speaking to the receiver, the boy chirps merrily, “Mommy!”

Jane & JJ Collaborate for High School Musical

As August creeps close and the premiere for High School Musical draws near (officially August 10th), there’s more and more news and interview snippets here and there promoting for this Chinese adaption of the Disney mega-hit.

Fueled by the hype and my musical-loving disposition, I find myself becoming more and more excited with each new piece of information relating to its release. Just recently, JJ Lin and Jane Zhang collaborated for the High School Musical theme song. Listen below:

PS Man: Issue 2

So why would a man so experienced in the art of courtship make a choice as far apart from his sleek image as a pair of SpongeBob underwear? Xia Hejie has his own set of dating philosophy. Hear him out:

“The most exciting thing about receiving presents isn’t the present itself; it’s the moment of anticipation as you rip open the wrapping paper.” Conversely, as a woman unzips that fly and finds the SpongeBob underneath, she will also find the man adorable. Because beneath his rough exterior, is a boyish interior. It’s the balance of good and bad in a man that makes him irresistible.

(Guys out there, take note.)
