Wish To See You Again 這裡發現愛

WTSYA Ad

WTSYA OST MV

This is a new taiwanese drama that's been broadcasting in Japan ever since December 12th. It's a drama to promote tourism in Taiwan. Since the F4 (Meteor Garden) are very famous in Japan, they star in this drama- actually only Vic, Ken and VanNess because Jerry is currently filming another drama with Wu Chun and Alan Luo called Hot Shot.
Vic Zhou acts a writer who's suddenly has no more ideas for stories so he becomes a taxi driver to hear stories from his passengers. Chen Yan Xi (Shao Nan From Why Why Love) stars as a girl who's recently graduated from college, and becomes a PR assistant in a 5 star hotel. Kingone is the hotel owner. I find that his character is very much like Huo Da in Why Why Love. And his brother, the general manager, is very much like Huo Yan's personality. Which I find very funny. Another thing that's funny is that you see old people from Why Why Love. I saw the groupleader and Bo Zi. But they only appear for like 5 seconds. Here's DramaWiki's synopsis on WTSYA:
"Xu Le is a bestselling author who never left home. He was recently struck with a case of writer's block and is in search of an inspiration so he decides to work as a taxi driver hoping that by listening to his passengers that he'll be struck with some inspiration. Coincidentally Xu Le meets his high school classmate, Ah Hao, who is also a taxi cab driver. Ma Yong Rui is an heir to a five-star hotel and is also Xu Le's and Ah Hao's old classmate. Lu Yi is now a fashion magazine editor and she was the dream girl that they all wanted. Pan Neng Xian is a 24 year old girl who recently graduated from college. She gets a job as a PR assistant in Yong Rui's five-star hotel."

CAST:

Vic Zhou as Xu Le 許樂
Chen Yan Xi as Pan Neng Xian 潘能賢
Ken Zhu as Ding Yu Hao 丁雨豪
Kingone as Ma Yong Rui 馬永睿
Terri Kwan as Lu Yi 陸怡
Ji Qin (季芹) as Pan Neng Zhen 潘能真
Xu Qiong Yun (許瓊云) as Pan Neng Hui 潘能慧
Anthony Bao (包小柏) as Ma Yong Jie 馬永傑
Eric Tsang (曾志偉) as Long Ge 隆哥
Gu Bao Ming (顧寶明) as Pan father
Lin Mei Xiu as Pan mother
Vanness Wu as Li Ao 李奧
Shan Cheng Ju (單承矩)
Wang Zheng Wei

SONGS:

Zai Zhe Li Den Ni (在這裡等你) Waiting For You Here by F4
Ti Yan (體驗) Experience by F4

If there are any new songs, I will add them to this list. In Taiwan, this show will be broadcasting from 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM sundays starting from February 3rd. In total, there are 25 episodes. Oh, and Japan has already broadcasted to 7 or 8 eps. ^_^ I'm also looking 4 the videos for WTSYA Jap Version, but the user was suspended from Youtube for copyright terms. Sad. So I exchanged the vid to an commercial advertising WTSYA and the OST MV. Enjoy!

Best Of Both Worlds MV

This is america's no.1 TV show's theme song, Best Of Both Worlds. If you look on the side, you can see that there are the lyrics. But in case you're just way 2 lazy, I have them here 4 you!

Best Of Both Worlds

Oh yeah
Come on

You get the limo out front
Hottest styles, every shoe, every color

Yeah, when you're famous it can be kinda fun
It's really you but no one ever discovers

In some ways you're just like all your friends
But on stage you're a star

You get the best of both worlds
Chill it out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both worlds

The best of both worlds

You go to movie premiers (is that Orlando Bloom?)
Hear your songs on the radio
Livin' two lives is a little weird (yeah)
But school's cool cuz nobody knows

Yeah you get to be a small town girl
But big time when you play your guitar

You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best of both
(You know the best) You know the best of both worlds

Pictures and autographs
You get your face in all the magazines
The best parts that you get to be who ever you wanna be

Yeah the best of both
You get the best of both
Come on best of both

Who would of thought that a girl like me
Would double as a superstar

You get the best of both worlds
Chillin' out, take it slow
Then you rock out the show

You get the best of both worlds
Mix it all together and you know that it's the best,

You get the best of both worlds
Without the shades and the hair
You can go anywhere

You get the best of both girls
Mix it all together
Oh yeah
It's so much better cuz you know you've got the best of both worlds

I loved this song! I hope you liked it too. Miley Cyrus (Hannah Montana) is only 15 (or 16?) years old and she already has the no.1 show and the no.1 concert of 2007! There's only one word 4 that- amazing!

Sushi Go Round Game Review

Sushi Go Round is a game found in Miniclip.com. Miniclip is a site where a wide variety of games can be found to suit your taste. Whether you like action or luck, Miniclip has it all!!! But enough with the advertising. This post is just the start of a whole new string of game reviews!!! I would shoot off with the criticism right away, but I thought it would seem more professional to have, well, a intro.

PROS: Sushi Go Round really gives you an idea of what its like to be a sushi chef. The most fun part (my opinion) is when you get to roll up all the ingredients. Maybe also watching the customers eating my handmade sushi. Maybe even how the money adds up in that little box in the bottom right hand corner. $_$

CONS: Oh, where to begin??? There are plenty of things to criticize, but most them are just because I'm not very good at it. The thing I don't really like about SGR is that there are just TOO many customers!! Maybe you want to make tons of money, but hey, finish with the one you're currently serving! Also, the peep at the end of the sushi train keeps on leaving because peeps before him/her take their food. Boo!!! Not particularly good for your business!!! >_<

Romantic Princess Cast

麥秋穗(皇甫珊):女， 18 歲，個性積極樂觀，活力充沛，運動神經極佳，心地善良、溫暖，吃軟不吃硬，習慣保護弱小，因此在女校就讀時常被同學視為「俠女」代表。小麥脾氣倔強，一旦訂立目標就要執行到底，有時候會有些小聰明，卻常常聰明反被聰明誤。

小麥從小在平凡的家庭中長大，也一直以為自己是父母的親生女兒，沒想到她真實的身份竟然是皇甫集團董事長皇甫雄的孫女，原名：皇甫珊！小麥在爺爺皇甫雄的安排之下住進了皇甫家大宅，然而她一方面無法習慣離開父母的生活，另一方面也對千金小姐充滿拘束的生活感到十分不自在，因而三番兩次想要逃離皇甫家。
小麥和瑾第一次見面，兩人就爆發言語衝突，之後更因為連番誤會而讓兩人的隔閡更大。小麥也一直認為瑾只是一個財大氣粗又瞧不起人的富家子弟。直到一次偶然的機會裡，小麥發現了瑾隱藏在冷酷外表下溫柔體貼的一面，便在不知不覺中愛上了瑾，更全力想幫助瑾脫離皇甫家的控制。

南風瑾:男， 21 歲，冷靜沉穩，喜怒不形於色，外表看來似乎是一個冷血無情的富家公子，實際上卻是一個溫柔體貼、愛護弟弟的人。由於瑾看過太多上流社會嫌貧愛富、前倨後恭的虛假嘴臉，在人前總是顯得很疏離，對每個人彷彿都隔著一層膜，也因此小麥單純直接又澄澈明透的心思和個性格外吸引他的注意。

瑾的父母和小麥的親生父母私交甚篤，四人在瑾八歲那一年死於同一場車禍。皇甫雄失去唯一的獨生子之後，愛屋及烏地收養了瑾和璘兩兄弟，更一心想培養瑾成為集團的接班人。瑾為了保護年幼天真的弟弟璘，同時也為了報答收養兩兄弟的皇甫雄，總是毫無怨言地接受所有嚴苛的菁英訓練，符合皇甫雄的期望，但是瑾心底深處卻一直希望能夠離開皇甫家這個光環，以自己真正的實力去找尋屬於他的天空。

瑾一直暗自計劃著要脫離皇甫家的控制，然而他的計劃卻在愛上小麥之後全盤失控。

南風彩 :男， 21 歲，皇甫家族中有名的花花公子，看似浪蕩不羈、不學無術，惟恐天下不亂，實際上能力卻不遜於瑾。為了不想讓皇甫集團這麼龐大的責任落到自己頭上，彩在人前人後總是裝出一副敗家浪蕩子的模樣，直到後來才被小麥設計揭穿他偽裝的假面具。

彩完全無意跟瑾競爭皇甫集團繼承人的位置，只想輕輕鬆鬆悠閒渡日，然而最後卻因為愛上宮氏集團的獨生女宮茉莉，而面臨了同時要繼承兩大集團的天大難

題。

南風璘:男， 18 歲，瑾的親弟弟，因為長期在哥哥瑾的保護之下，個性單純直接、天真爛漫，時常有些讓人哭笑不得的短路行為出現。

璘對小麥的好感源自於小麥親生母親留給他的童年記憶，雖然當年的璘年紀尚輕，卻始終記得小麥母親的笑容，因此，當璘第一眼見到小麥，便被小麥的笑容所深深吸引。

公主小妹第一集 part1/6 Romantic Princess ep1-1

This is Taiwan's brand new drama. The first episode just aired last week. I can't wait for the second episode. It's about a really poor adopted girl (張韶涵) that suddenly finds out she's a long lost granddaughter of a very very rich man nicknamed Empire. Wu Chun(吳尊) from Fahrenheit(飛輪海) acts the male lead. The director is the same as the one who did Corner With Love, WhyWhyLove and Devil Beside You. I don't know about you, but these dramas were really good. I think this one will be just as good.

Halo Kitty?

What do you think when you see the picture right above? You think of Hello Kitty, an popular japan plushie. Hello Kitty's picture actually was gleaned from Neopets. The image above is a Plushie Angelpuss, an petpet inside Neopets. A Petpet is a pet for your neopets.
When I first heard this, I also thought there were similarities between the two. Except Hello Kitty doesn't have wings, or an halo. On the picture above the Plushie Angelpuss (which is, by the way, named Halo Kitty...haha)is the original Hello Kitty. They've made a lot of different hello kitties, such as, angel, spring, and even a line for Mcdonald's, which comes with the kid meals in Taiwan, a long time ago.

Neopet PB Average Prices (2007)

Neopet PB Average Prices (2007)

Paint Brushes Under 100k

Starter Paint Brushes can not be sold, auctioned or traded away. They come in newbie packs so technically they're free but as you're unable to move them from the account they came in it's not worth creating multiple accounts to get one.

Yellow Paint Brush - 35,000NP

Green Paint Brush - 37,000NP

Red Paint Brush - 40,000NP

Blue Paint Brush - 49,000NP

Invisible Paint Brush - 95,000NP

Paint Brushes Over 100k

Okay, first of all you should know that any item whose value is 100,000NP or more is sometimes called an unbuyable. This is because there is a restriction in shops that prevents users from pricing their items at anything higher than 99,999NP so very expensive items are 'unbuyable' from user owned stores. So the prices you see below have been gleaned off the Trading Post although you can also try hunting for these more expensive brushes in the Auction House. I have listed the average asking price I found users on the trading post would accept, which means you should be able to find a few prices below and above what I mention. Regardless, this should give you a good ballpark figure of what you'll be spending to get the precious paint brushes below...
