Random notes make a post!

1. I have almost convinced my dad that he wants to give me tiny laptop, since it's not like he uses it anyway. Sadly, tiny laptop's trackpad right click button is broken, which is not good. It works with a mouse, but that will cut down slightly on portability. On the other hand, getting fairly good at typing on it now...


2. Got Lasik on Monday. Currently eyes are a little dry and feel like I have contacts on, but I am still not over the fact that I can open my eyes and see things clearly! (I can't wear contacts.) My face feels so naked!


3. The Blockbuster here has DRAMAS! BWAHAHAHAHA! So far, have watched eps. 1 and 2 of Legend, eps. 1 and 2 of the Taiwan version of Hana Kimi, and ep. 1 of Smiling Pasta. Sadly, Smiling Pasta is the one my mom bought and so far the least good of the bunch. I keep wanting to whack the heroine for playing dumb and cute. On the other hand, the secondary lead heroine seems interesting and wounded. Any recs for tdramas greatly appreciated! I think my mom is very happy that I am watching stuff in Chinese.


4. Watched Warlords, the latest movie with Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro. Unfortunately, was jetlagged and nearly fell asleep. Also, as everyone changes hairstyles and clothing every three scenes, I kept mixing up Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro's characters, despite knowing full well what they look like. I blame the scruffy facial hair. I think I will buy it anyway, as the rented DVD had English subtitles, so I can sic it on rachelmanija when she visits, as who knows when it will come out in the US!

The Rose, THE ROSE!!!! Joe Cheng (It started with a kiss), and some more Ella (who's the lead female in the TW Hana Kimi)

But THE ROSE!!! Joe Cheng as Kui *swoon*

Great for getting rid of eye trouble! I haven't managed to do so since Easter *sigh* - keep it up!

I saw The Rose at Blockbuster and was going to get it except I already had too much! I didn't know Ella was in it! I am definitely picking it up then; I really like her so far in Hana Kimi.

She's the female lead, actually. And as far as I remember it was her very first TWDorama, too. S.H.E sing the title song, and the other two S.H.E ladies later on also have roles in the series, but aren't part of the main cadre of actors.

Also: the story is manga based, as well: Bara no Tameni
