Fangirling with a bit of real life thrown in.

HANADANNNNNNNNNNNNNN!

I am so bad but I read the spoilers for the very beginning of the episode and Domyouji finds out that Rui has kissed Makino!!! Oh, this is going to go spectacularly badly. I find it interesting how they incorporate bits of manga in the freestyle order but it really works. I think they are taking this from a scene fairly early on where Domyouji finds a recording of R/M courtesy of the Fangirls and goes berserk. (Quite a contrast to his later behavior when Makino is involved in those photos. Shows his growth and all). I am sure this will be very different as the place in the story is so different but am so excited. Angst! Fireworks! Most likely violence! EEEEEE!

I read at soompi that It Started with a Kiss will start filming in March. Now I got to cross my fingers because I have this paranoid fear about it not happening that won't be allayed until they are actually filming. Yes, I blame you, illusory Goong 2 that didn't happen, for my paranoia!

A Taiwanese actress, Xi Wei Lun, has passed away after being in a brief coma after a car accident. I haven't seen her in anything though when I watch Love Storm, I apparently will. But anyway, on reading about this at soompi, I am all unsurprised that paparazzi are the same everywhere (apparently she had a lot of friends/well-wishers among the entertainment industry who came to see her before she died) and the whole media circus reminded me of the time when Sanjay Dutt's father passed away and everyone was sticking cameras right in the faces of the stars at the funeral. Hmmm. They were also saying what people said to her as she was lying in a coma which did make me boggle as either: a. they have a really good imagination; b. best hearing ever, or c. they let reporters into her hospital room! Not sure which one boggles me more. There were also grisly pics which is rather in bad taste. Anyway, I fail at being a good human being, because my main thought on finding this out? "Oh, no, I hope it doesn't in any way postpone ISWAK2" because the people in the threads were saying that Ariel Lin and Joe Cheng were good friends with her. Yeah, I fail. But I can't help the obsessiveness.

Also, am most likely going to go see Blood Diamond tonight. I don't have much interest in diamond smuggling but the movie sounds interesting.

Also, though I don't post much on political stuff here (it would take time away from drooling), YAY on the minimum wage increase! About time. And taxing of the $1m plus executives as part of it? Boo-hoo, cry me a river.

Basically, YAY.

it started with a kiss 2 is going to start filming in march *squees with excitement* i'm so hoping it does start filming soon and ohhh i can't wait to watch it.

i recommend Blood Diamond, it's an awesome film not just for the diamond smuggling part but the part about the child soldiers in africa. it really makes you think and when i watched it last december for my poly sci class it was sponsored by amnesty international.

anyways, how much is minimum wage anyways???

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

It's been raised to 7.25.

I can't wait to see Blood Diamond. But even more I can't wait for ISWAK2. The glee will be extreme.

[janlake83.livejournal.com]

wow $7.25, that is a lot considering it was like 5.15, that is a big jump but since i live in california our minimum wage is getting raised to $8 an hour sometime next year i think.

yeah i was *squeeing* so much after i read that iswak2 was going to start filming that my dog moved away from me

lol re: ISWAK2 reaction. I am going to be holding my breath until they actually start, though.

EEEE indeed, but Rui MUST get his own girl or I am going to be heart-broken.

What is the minimal wage in US?

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Minimum wage has been raised from 5.15 to $7.25. Which is great as the lowest wage in absoulute terms was at its lowest in 50 years.

Re: Rui. I like him but I confess I ama Domyouji and Makino girl so as long as they get a HEA, I'm OK with sacrificing the rest.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but is that an Infernal Affair icon? *-*

[alexandral.livejournal.com]

Yep!!! I am mad about "Infernal Affairs". If you are interested, my "Infernal Affairs" post with icons is here : http://alexandral.livejournal.com/90280.html

[lydzi.livejournal.com]

I love you. *runs to watch the icons*

[katranna.livejournal.com]

You are such a cute supposed conservative libertarian.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Didn't you know? My underwear is piiiink :D

[leechunsa.livejournal.com]

Oh weilun :(
T_________T

She was such a beautiful girl and talented too. She's Rainie Yang (from DBY / devil beside you)'s Bestfriend.. T_T

I can't believe she's gone :( *wails*

AND OMG FOR HANADANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

The Hanadan thing is so glee-inducing.

What else was Wei Lun in, other than Love Storm and Nine Balls? She really was very pretty.

[leechunsa.livejournal.com]

She's in MG, i dunno if you remember her. She had a cameo role there, when Sancai was taken by Lei back to the city, a girl was running, and san cai asked the car to be stopped? and then she saw that the boy who mistaken her for his girlfriend was by the seashore and this girl who was running goes to him and he turns and he hugs her? well...that was Weilun.

She had 2 series wth Mike He.I don't remember the title of the newest one, but the other one is Love Contract I think :)

I just saw the CB link for HYD2 P5 Immona die T_T_T_T

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Hanadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan!

Re: Love Contract. She must have been one of the friends' character. I confess I only loved Mike and Ariel's characters in it, and the rest I couldn't have cared less so I probably don't remember here from there.

Re: MG. I remember that girl!

[koalathebear.livejournal.com]

I thought Blood Diamond was very thought-provoking and despite his slightly suspect accent, DiCaprio was very good.

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Yeah, I've heard really good thing about it.

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Xu Wei Lun ?? She was also in Express Boy and Turn Left/Turn Right. This is really sad :(

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen Express Boy as it's yet another one of those 'if only it was subbed' dramas.

Who was she in TLTR?

[leechunsa.livejournal.com]

Btw, RE; Iswak, they're continuing the shooting, but Ariel's taking Wei Lun's drama...the one she left hanging, but Ariel will still shoot ISWAK2 while filming WeiLun's drama. :)

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

So she is taking it on after all. People at soompi were saying she turned it down. Either way, more Ariel is always a great thing but I hope ISWAK2 won't be postponed.
