Haven't posted in a long while as I'm spending more time in my vox. But I just love this pic (taken from Asianfanatics), the original boys who suck me into the whole Asian pop thing. They've obviously grown up (especially Ken... he has grown...big) and so have I, but they--and Meteor Garden--will always have a special place in my Asian pop culture ( Read more... )

There was a time I'd marathon on Full House. And I had to come out of ( Read more... )
