命中註定我愛你 (Destiny to Love/Fated to Love You) Final Thoughts
Originally posted on xanga.
I finally finished watching 命中註定我愛你 this past week. I wrote a brief description of it back in September.
I picked up the OST as well which happened to be very good.
The dramas happens to be one of the better ones I've seen recently. I only finish a whole idol drama about 50% of the time.
The story did drag on at the end and I was actually surprised that I didn't fast forward that much.
Its a drama I've recommended my wife to watch. You should probably pick it up and check it out too.

What it is about Facebook that makes everyone get on it so religiously?
If you look at the activities of your friends, its constant and all they various groups of friends you have do very different things.
I couldn't join in the beginning because you needed a EDU email address. But once they took that restriction off, the floodgates have been open.
Unlike friendster and myspace, I actually enjoy using Facebook. I don't mind it. It was always a struggle to stay up on friendster and myspace.
Facebook has also become people's photo albums. I am guessing that flickr is jealous.
I think Facebook has met that delicate balance for a social networking. Its doing what google did to the industry back in the day.

Fatal Contact - 黑拳
Originally posted on xanga.
I recently had the chance to re-watch Fatal Contact (黑拳) while washing a boatload of dishes one night. It stars Wu Jing (吳京) as an Chinese opera performer sucked into the ruthless world of underground street fighting.
The films two females lead are from the Cookies, Miki Yeung and Theresa Fu.
The film has several fight scenes and builds like a video game. The fights get progressively harder and more dangerous.
Eventually, the characters are further explored and fleshed out.
Tragedy prevails and like many HK movies of the past, its not an happy ending.
However, the last scene does inspire and make you think of "what could have been".
When I first watched this film a year or so ago, I thought it was awesome. At least the fighting was. I actually fast forwarded through most of the non action. But this time around, I couldn't do it as I was washing dishes. I actually caught the story and thought it was quite morbid.

History In the Making

It is history in the making for the United States.
The US economy needs fixing. The housing market needs to be stabilized. We've got energy issues to address.
Oh, there's those wars we're in too.
Lots of fixing.
I got out and voted. I hope you did too.
