Last night I spent 2.5 hours browsing through this TV series for the nobody-knows-how-many time. It had been one of the first few romantic stories I came across, and I was quite crazy about it during 2001-2003. Later I got to watch the original (1986 version), and even though it was simply gorgeous and in many ways better (fewer silly fights and ( Read more... )

I saw PP1 shown on TV again today. I used to be such a fan of it, having watched it around four times since 1999, but now I find myself unable to like it as much as I once did. The plot seems much too dramatic, and the actor's looks are hard to get used to. Have I changed? Or maybe the actors and actresses have changed more? But no matter what ( Read more... )

I want to thank brokenhut for helpful suggestions on my network card problems. They are all fixed now. Somehow I have mixed up the two Ethernet cards ever since the machine was bought over three years ago (thankfully they're not two children ;). I took the external card (which turned out to be the VIA Rhine) out of the PCI slot and plugged it in ( Read more... )

The result of the last phone call to the visa office was positive--so maybe I am going to make the trip, after all ( Read more... )

It is a bit disconcerting to see a site vaporize into thin air just due to the expiration of a domain...

Who could be the lovely Maggie there? Yes, I got it--the little JoJo in GL! "Your smile feels so warm, just like sunlight." Doesn't it!

The actors for Shirley and Cecily follows naturally, but little Elvis is too young for Peter :( Maybe he could be Matty and I can have some other Peter, such as Lewis in SoC...but I'm still not entirely

I normally do not approve of lying with good intentions, and the death or near-death scenes in TV shows are among my pet peeves. But, at this moment I just feel overwhelmed by a sense of helplessness. Surely it is heart-rending, and quite cruel, when Ellen, Norman and other friends arrange to have little innocent Princess Rosemary finally meet ( Read more... )

I have been watching another TV series by Ruby today, named "Sound in Colors". Like many of her other works, this show is very sweet and heart-warming, and I especially like the way that almost everyone loves everyone else--after a while, anyway. It's not without faults, of course, and I wonder why the male characters in her last FOUR shows are ( Read more... )

I finished watching GL yesterday, and as is almost always the case after seeing the end of a long story, I feel stressed emotionally for a whole day. There are just so many memorable scenes. Guess I really should stop reading/watching so many romantic love stories ( Read more... )
