EXTREMELY EXTREMELY BITTER SWEET Time To be a TVB Fan

How Sad is this? 2008 is going out with "dot dot dot" instead of an exclamation mark. I said a long long long time ago this terrible economy will eventually catch up to TVB and Hong Kong Entertainment. It's just so sad because Ratings are at their lowest in years yet the quality of the series are very good. The Gem of Life is such an interesting series in my opinion. All the characters are unique and so developed. The storyline is so interesting. The actors are AMAZING. Ada Choi really does give a breakthrough performance as Jessica. Gigi Lai is so angelic and sweet as Constance, her last TV Character she will portray. Maggie Shiu as Sophia, I just love, such a strong woman. Linda Chung is also very interesting as Elise, she does a great job as a bratty and cunning heiress. The men are also very good too. Moses Chan, Bowie Lam, Wong Hei, John Chiang, Eddie Kwan, and Bosco Wong are all very good in the Gem of Life. The whole series gives access to the rich life, the poor life, and even life in between. I JUST LOVE IT! Yet the ratings are low.... SIGH... When Easterly Showers Fall on the Sunny West is TVB's longest title that I can remember. I thought this series would be boring nostalgic period drama. It is not!! It's so interesting to watch. The many twists and turns... I just love how the series is about human emotion, love, and kindship during the era. The filming locations are also very beautiful. The actors in the series did a great job. I love Charmaine and Liza in this series. Joe Ma and Raymond Wong also did a great job. Off Pedder debuted as TVB's new sitcom. Though it's not as good as The Best Selling Secret or Virtues of Harmony it is still very good. I'm just glad its nothing like Welcome to the House which was unbearable after 10 episodes... On a side note, The Four is also another very good series which I enjoyed after watching the Last One Standing. I'm also watching Legend of the Condor Hero 2008. I think series take me away from this very scary economy which will probably be the economy I will be working in when I graduate. It also helps with school and stress. P.S. I'm Starting To Get Annoyed with all these TVB Actors leaving and starting music careers instead. I think they should perfect their chops and be the part of good actor instead of having their heart somewhere else. I makes me think they dont really want to TV actors and they are using the fans that through it as a stepping stone. *** AND HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE!!!!!!!! HAVE A GREAT 2009!!!!! I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS!!! Thank You for Reading and Coming Back to TVB Generation all these years!!!!

My TVB 41st Anniversary Award Ceremony Overview & Critique

It was an overall good show. It would have been better if it wasn't all awards. A short singing performance or something along that line would have been nice. When I saw just the Winner's list I thought there wasn't surprises but there was quite a few. Myolie Wu Winning Most Fashionable: She went in a Tuxedo. From a distance she did actually look like a man. I think she was inspired by Heidi Klum who wore a Tuxedo during the Emmy's. Myolie's Fashion is only fairly good in my book. I thought there other worthy winners. Surprise! Francis Ng was at the show!! He's like the Biggest TVB Hater! Just this year he came on the radio with Sandra Ng and trashed TVB. He said their quality has gone down and the newcomers can't act. I was shocked to see him, I dont why, probably as as apology for what happened. He still acted like a doucebag on stage in my opinion. Athena Chu, still so pretty. She played Wong Yung in Legend of the Condor Hero 1996 & Michelle Yim played Wong Yung in Legend of the Condor Hero 1976. It was pretty interesting to see them both in the same room. Wong Cho Lam Wins Most Improved: There were plenty of other nominees that were deserving of this award like Johnson Lee, and Derek Kwok. I think he is a good actor but his win was somewhat of an upset in my opinion. Plus, he wasn't very humble. His whole reading his acceptance really fast was just trying way too hard. He was trying to be like Kenneth Ma two years ago who was hilarious. It wasn't that funny and only a few people in the crowd thought it was funny. It was almost like "HaHa, Yay, I win, This Is Stupid So Lets Try To This Funny Skit..." Nancy Wu Wins Most Improved: Well deserved win. She cried and showed how thankful she was to win and showed respect to the other nominees unlike Wong Cho Lam. Tavia Yeung wins Best Supporting Actress: I thought it was pretty cool that Best Supporting of HK Cinema Anthony Wong presented Tavia with the Best Supporting Actress Award. She truly deserved it. Her acknowledgement of Lee Heung Kam was also very sweet. Wayne Lai wins Best Supporting Actor: Best Supporting Actress of HK Cinema Karena Lam presented him with this award. He got a huge crowd reaction. He really deserves it. Raymond Lam winning the TVB.COM & Favorite Male Character Award: He looked the least happy out of all the winners. A Best Actor should know how to look happy even though his chances of winning are getting slimmer. The disappointment in his eyes made it seem like he was unappreciative. They should have gave one of his award to someone else who would have appreciate it. Havent seen Dicky Cheung in forver. His presentation speech was a little weird to me though... Lee Sze Kei Winning Favorite Female Character: No big surprise, I think everyone expected her to win. Moonlight Resonance Win Best Drama: An Entourage of Stars floods the stage like last year with HOG. Once again, no big surprise. Michelle Wins Best Actress: I knew she was going to win. A well deserved win & a touching acceptance speech. The BIGGEST SURPRISE of the Night was the TOP 5. After all the interviewing Carol Cheng did. It was clear the Award was between Lee Sze Kei, Michelle Yim, Susanna Kwan, and Liza Wang based on the other actresses opinion. It was shocking when the Top 5 was announced to be Michelle Yim, Lee Sze Kei, Liza Wang, Sonjia Kwok, and Linda Chung. HOLY CRAP! They didn't show Susanna Kwan's face but it must have been like "WTF?". I was so Happy for Sonjia Kwok, she was shocked herself and was just so happy to be in the Top 5. That's humble! Ha Yu Wins Best Actor: Lee Sze Kei presented the Award. I thought she was rude & kind of out of line. After the announcement of the Top 5 she started talking about the award and who might win, her Lau Kung (Husband) and her two Jai (Sons). She completely excluded Roger Kwok and Kevin Cheng out of the picture like they're chop liver in her opinion. Even if their chances are low because of the popularity of MR, a good presenter would treat all nominees with the same respect. Ha Yu took home the Award which he was very deserving of. He said he waited 40 years for this day and pulled out as inspirational speech from MR by Sa Yi. The crowd was very happy for him. Congratulations to Paul Chun for Winning The Life Time Achievement Award!!

OH GOD, WHY ARE THEY SO HOT??!!!

Can't Get You Guys Out of My Head lol. Let's use some popular male Vocab. 4 Fun. =P Stephen Huynh, Hello Sexy! I'd Hit It!! Kevin Cheng, Hello Hotness! I'd Definitely Hit It!! What Do You Think Michelle Yim?? Moses Chan. Dang, You're Fine! I'd So Hit It!! What Do You Think Susanna Kwan?

CHANGE

SO MUCH HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST MONTH TVB Will Be Going Into It's Anniversary With Poor Ratings... TV Rating is taking quite a hit in Hong Kong because of the global economic crisis. This is a big change from most of the past anniversary. This is all happening on the eve of the crowning of the new "TV King" & "TV Queen". They are symbolically the leaders for the upcoming TVB year. Whoever is chosen, they will take over the toughest reign with the current condition. SO WHO DID YOU VOTE FOR?? Who is Right For The Job? As TV King... Roger Kwok? "Two Terms" of Experience as TV King under his belt. Raymond Lam? The Youngest "TV King" elect ever if he wins, he also has the young popularity vote behind him. Moses Chan? Will he be re-elected for a second term in a row or will TVB give it to someone else this year? Ha Yu? He will be the oldest "TV King" elect if he wins. He has the most career experience out of all the other candidates. Will he prevail as the hot favorite or will the company favorite win? Kevin Cheng? Rushed into his first term as "TV King" somewhat prematurely. With redemption from a near flawless performance in LOS, is he ready to take the platform again? As TV Queen... Liza Wang? A Legacy & the most experienced as TV Queen. Susanna Kwan? The underdog out of the hot favorites two years straight. Louise Lei Sze Kei? Will she be re-elected for a second term? She played many great moms in her career, but do we need a mom or a Queen right now? Michelle Yim? One of the greatest villain in the history of TVB. Her win might be a "necessary evil". Charmaine Sheh? Highest in company status with the recent announcement of a retiring Fa Dan. Will TVB appease her with a second term as TV Queen? In Case you have you havent figured it out, this post has other symbolic meanings besides just the TVB awards. And yes, I know there are more nominees but I was using my Top 5 predictions to get my point across. I'm not going to go into Politics too much but I'm proud of the U.S. as a Country. We witnessed History in the making on November 4th. For those of you who voted regardless, I applaud you!

Feeling a little Uninspired and need a Will to Continue

3 more years college and 4 more years graduate school to go!!! Oh god!! And in my head, somewhere in between Prince Charming is suppose to appear lol. Man, how do people stay so focus??? This is just so HARD. Luckily I have people around me that help keep me sane. I usually just watch some series about life, work, love, and success like Slim Chances or Under The Canopy of Love to cheer me up but they've been played out in my book. I finally am able to rewatch In The Realm of Success after 6 years. This is probably one of the best Cinderella Story TVB has ever produced. It tells of Nadia Chan's rise to change her life, her looks, her love, and her career. I'm going currently rewatching it.. Man, this takes me back to the old TVB days... Even watching the Themevideo makes me feel alittle better. It's fashion runway theme remind me to get up even if I fall. Plus, the themesong by Steven Ma is Awesome. Au Revoir Monsieur et Madame!! ***French Kisses***

Professor of Thuganomics

Just finish the 1st Episode of the Last One Standing. So far, very promising and good. Watching this series in the dark at midnight is just slightly scary lol. This is definitely not your mom and pops series. Kevin Cheng is a Thug! Very impressed with his acting here... Now for episode 2...

Legend of The Demigods/ Hot Men on Your Class or Mine / Feeling The World Wide Financial Crisis

Just Finish Watching Legend of the Demigod: I actually was anticipating this series alot because I really like mythical series like Journey To The West but it kind of disappointed me. When I heard the money that went into this series' CGI was the most for any series I was expecting really good special effects but it really wasn't that good after all. I thought the CGI in Twins of Brother was better and this was along of the lines of Devil's Disciple. The storyline was not very enticing. It was clearly written for a younger audience that ranged from ages 5-13. To me, it was like a rip off of God of Honor. Nonetheless, the little kid inside me did somewhat enjoy it's entertaining value. I'm now watching Your Class or Mine: It's actually pretty good. I think this series was made targeting the 13-24 age group. Bobby & Sheren are clearly the only real big name artists headlining it. However, I wouldnt say the casting in this series is bad. The Men in this series are HOT! Benjamin Yuen (Mr. HK 2007), Him Law, Oscar leung, and Leung Chin Kar make up the main four soccer player. They all are handsome and have a cuteness quality in them. Sadly, the younger females in this series aren't very pretty with the exception of Rabaee Yeung. I really like Him Law Ching Him. He's another english speaking actor getting a shot at fame with TVB. He's from Australia so he does have an accent as some of you might have noticed. He was also in Dressage To Win. To me he looks like an exact Asian Version of Chace Crawford (Nate from Gossip Girl). That's HOT! The Financial Crisis: This crisis is quite scary. The U.S. is on the verge of a depression if this keeps up. This has spread to virtually every country throughout the world. Younger generations like most of us should be very worried because it will be very hard to get a student loans for college or graduate school. The last three weeks have been the worst three weeks for Stocks and Money Markets. It didn't surprise me ratings for TVB Series were down. 2/3 of the population in Hong Kong have investments in Stocks which practically crashed the last few weeks including that gold digging tramp Tracy Ip who claimed she made 300 millions HKD worth of assets from Stocks. People are clearly in no mood to watch to watch TV. If was TVB I would bring out the low budget series now and save the good ones for later.

My Kevin-Niki-Charmaine Apologize Music Video

I made this video to reflect the controversial love triangle that the Press have been reporting. Check it out! The Song is Apologize by One Republic. I posted it on YouTube a long time ago but I forgot to post a link here.

Everyone and Anyone Can Be Beautiful!!!

Are there times where you feel like your self esteem is at an all time low because of how you perceive your own personal looks? Don't get too down. The standards for beauty these days are set so ridiculously high for both men and women. The asian community in particular has one of the highest because everything is based on celebs. However, don't use them as a basis for your personal standard. Everyone and anyone can be beautiful with money and plastic surgery. Check out this video with before/after plastic surgery pics of some of the most well known celebs in Asia. It'll will one of the best 5 minutes you'll spend for your self esteem if you're ever down in the future.

When a Series is a Watse of Time!!

When a Dog Loves a Cat has to be the most pointless series this year. The script was just terrible. It was written like a sitcom as a filler in between commercials. I regret watching the whole series. Gallen Lo returned to TVB in the worst possible way by being in this series. The premise of the storyline is ridiculous. I wasted 20 episodes of my life and I want it back!!!!!!! I couldn't believe I actually sat there and watched dogs talking to cats, cats talking to dogs, dogs talking to dogs, humans talking to dogs, dogs talking to humans, humans referring to humans like they're dogs, and dogs referring to dogs like they're humans. Someone please stab a pen in eye! I think they were trying to make it like Man's Best Friend with Louis Koo, Sammi Cheng, and Jessica Hsuan but it was a complete failure. The only part I found interesting was the short lived love triangle between Gallen, Myolie, and Raymond Wong. P.S. Someone tell Bernice Liu to get her money back for that horrible dye job, her hair looks terrible. It's unevenly highlighted and color are off toned.

MR Log: Final Thoughts

Wow. This series flew by. Mostly because I watched it at every opportunity I had when I was off of class & wasn't studying. The last 20 episodes were very good. A lot of dramatic scenes that left me in a nervous wreck trying to figure out what would happen. So many twists and turns... I never cried so much watching a series. Bullets of Notable Things: Michelle Yim is one of best villains ever. She rivals villains like Gallen Lo in Cold Blood Warm Heart. Tavia Yeung amazed me in this series. The role obviously didn't get as much screen time as other characters but really did raise the bar. I was so disappointed not seeing her nominated for Best Actress. Fala Chen also surprised with an excellent performance. She made me cry during her wedding scene. I eventually started fast forwarding most the scenes with Linda & Bosco. Their relationship was pointless and not needed. Linda's character was needed for series but the love triangle with Linda, Raymond, and Bosco should have been scrapped. I finally knew why the lowest ratings were during their scenes. I hate Kate Tsui's character. She's like a mix of evil and annoying. She did a good job with the role. Although, I have to say, Kate isn't as pretty as the character was made up to be. I actually think Tavia looked prettier. I couldn't get pass Kate's ears and her weird line when she had her hair up. Linda Chung did an OK job I think. There was SO MUCH Crying that wasn't even needed which came off as over acting. LSK character was very pityful. She gave a very touching performance. Susanna Kwan also did a great job. Sa Yi is a very hard character to play. Lei Heung Kam was brillaint as the grandmother who just wanted the best for her grandchildren. The love between Moses Chan, Kate Tsui, and Tavia Yeung to me was the best love triangle in the series. It's my opinion that Ha Yu deserves the Best Actor Award this year. He's not a TVB Siu Sang but his performance was amazing. I think TVB will either give the Best Actor award to Raymond Lam, but if it comes down to Siu Sangs I would like Moses Chan to win just because I think his acting was one up on Raymond. Overall, this is one of the best series TVB has ever made. In my opinion this "sequel" was by far alot better than Heart of Greed in every way.

Nancy Wu Getting PUNK'D, TVB Style!

Nathan Lee, Kevin Cheng and Myolie Wu pulled a prank on Nancy Wu. I had to share this video on YouTube. I originally saw it embedded so it didn't have a title or description so I seriously thought Kevin had an anger management problem. I also really like it because they speak English alot in this video. TVB Artists rarely speak English on camera so it's nice assessment how good they're english are. Video Credit: MU20LEgend SUMMARY: "Nathan (Nancy's partner) woke Nancy up while she was taking a nap during a rehearsal break. He scribbled on Kevin's picture on the wall saying he's gay and in love with Timmy Hung. Kevin walked by and pretended to be extremely pissed off when he saw the gay joke on the wall, making Nancy feel awkward and guilty to be a part of it. Myolie tried to act surprised by Kevin's anger too. After a short while, Kevin walked back up to Nancy again and showed her the camera that was recording her candid reaction all these while. Mission accomplished! Haha Nancy playfully scolded Kevin for being such a fine actor ("TV king") and asked him to treat dinner. She also threatened to fly back to Hong Kong and leave Nathan alone in Hunan. Myolie was blamed for betraying her too. Poor Nancy admitted to Myolie that she didn't suspect anything about the prank at all"

"MR Log": My Moonlight Resonance Plan Backfired

I rented Moonlight Resonance up to episode 8 hoping to paste myself leaving room to study and watch other series like When a Dog Loves a Cat, Best Selling Secret, & Legend of the Demigods but that plan didn't go so well. My uncle came over while I was school and took episode 4-8 to borrow and still hasn't given it back. I had no choice but to watch it online and then temptation took over. Next thing you know I got hooked and watched all the way up to episode 17. Episode 18-20 are already downloaded but that's as far as I can go and now I must wait about another week or more before new episodes come out. MR is so much better than HOG in opinion. The characters are extremely intriguing. The script is very well written. I'm biting my nails as I watch. Once again, let's do bullet list of notable things... Lee Sze Kei character Hor Ma is extremely pityful. I feel touch seeing her kids having so much faith in her and loving her so much. Moses Chan's character seems to very dynamic to storyline, constantly helping to change the direction of the storyline. For some reason I think he looks so sexy in this series. So geeky & dorky yet tall and innocent with a maturity appeal. So hot.... Raymond Lam is so sweet, kind, and romantic as Goon Ga Jai. I dont see why he has to be the one to fight for Linda. It should be Linda and another female character fighting for him. It would be more interesting. Linda Chung took the back seat role as Yu So Sum. Her character does not come off special, attention grabbing, or even that important to the storyline. Tavia Yeung really shines in MR. She's the new Seung Joi Sum minus the annoying Days Without SJS in the background sound when it's her scenes. Fala Chen has really improved. I feel so sad seeing cry and expressing her feelings through sign language. I didn't like Ha Yu up until like episode 10. Turns out he has another side to him and he really does care for Hor Ma and all his kids equally. In HOG, Susanna Kwan was meant to be Evil. I think it's clear she's just meant to be Annoying in MR. She's such an instigator. Michelle Yim is Amazing as the Villain. Subtle yet extremely Cunning. I'm dying to see Moses kiss Tavia. I think they're so cute together. Bosco Wong just appeared, and soon Kate Tsui will too. The love triangles will begin to form... I have a feeling I must brace myself for some serious crying scenes. I thought it was funny that they had a scene where the family was looking at Kate Tsui's pictures from The Academy II and they all were making faces like they think she's ugly. In reality, it's still the same Kate with just shorter hair. I learned the youngest brother is name Vincent Wan. To my surprise he's a Dolce Vita boy. Him and the other Dolce Vita boy Jason Chan are so cute. I can't believe Vincent is 24 though, he looks like he's 17 or 18.
