Cancun

I'm going on a trip to Cancun tomorrow with my family at 4 AM. I know, why so early?But since it's my first time, I guess that makes up for it! hahaha Well we're going to be staying at this inexclusive hotel called Ocean Coral and Turquesa (that's the picture above) and it looks really beautiful! I just love the look don't you? I also won't be able to blog anything that week so sorry guys! ( But i don't think anyone's visit this blog yet or even care about it!) Anyway, if you wanna talk, just email me at asiandramagurl@gmail.com!

Lovely Complex

 Sorry I haven't been posting, I've been packing! I'll tell you about it later. This is a manga that was very popular so it turned into an anime, and then a drama. Yes it was very funny let me tell you. As you can see above, the girl is taller than the boy  (who is very short but cute!) In school they were known for being a comedy duo becuz when they can sometimes say things synchronized, they argue a lot, and make fun of each other.When they were both saying how they cant get a boy/girl friend they were both bet on who can get one faster. The manga, anime, and drama were both very funny, that I laughed until I cried! This also has romance in here so no worries!

Meteor Garden

This drama is very similar to Hana Yori Dango and Boys Over Flower becuz they are the remakes of them! This also has the same plot. Shan Cai is a poor girl that gets to go in the rich school. One day, she accidentally angered F4's leader, Dao Ming Si, so the wars start. In war, the only member that helps her was Hua Ze Lei and she begins to fall for him. This upsets Dao Ming Si greatly and he tries to win her heart. This drama also has Rainie Yang as Shan Cai's friend out of the rich school. (Don't read red sentence if you haven't watch the drama yet!)This is really good although the second series was boring so I just skipped to the last episode in the end of the second series.

Seducing Mr. Perfect/ Seducing Mr. Robin

Sorry I haven't been updating the blog, I was a little busy but whatev. Anyway, I was watching this movie and this was my second time. I mean, it's really good! This is about a lady named Min-June always love-struck about her latest boyfriend becuz she believes in true love. When she gets dumped by her boyfriend, she worried about it while driving the car to work and accidentally hit a car in front of her. At work, she found out that he, Robin Heiden was her new boss and he knew a lot about relationships, specifically cheating. He tells her how relationships are about power and whoever shows emotions first would be like giving a leash to the other person, so that they can drag you around. The whole movie is really funny, but I cried a bit too. This movie is really interesting becuz Daniel Henny (Robin Heiden) speaks mostly English while Uhm Jung-hwa (Min-June) speaks mostly Korean. That's probably one of the reasons I like this movie!

Tina Beauty Salon

I'm sure all of you decided to get a haircut, but then after you did, it didn't turn out the way you wanted, or it looked really ugly on you. I've also experienced the same problem, but yesterday was different. I went to Tina Beauty Salon to get a Japanese straightening that would last for 6 months and a hair cut. Sure, I'll give it to them how expensive it was, $150 for a straightening compared to Vietnam, which costs around $20-$30. But its a really good price becuz my hair is long and thick so at other salons, it might've cost $300. I like the whole image and its really straight! It took hours, from 10:00AM - 4:30 PM. I have the address if you want to go their next time for your haircut! I also think you need an appointment so I'll post the phone number. ( I got this information from Google)

China Cafe Seafood Restaurant

I went eating in the China Cafe Seafood Restaurant yesterday morning. They have really good food there and if you went around 8 am, you would have a lot of food options and fast service. You can also eat there for lunch and dinner. I like eating the chicken feet and the fried rice. Yummy, I'll post the address and phone number here if you want to go try the food. 2300 South Wentworth Avenue, Chicago, IL‎ - (312) 808-0202.

Hana Yori Dango

Hana Yori Dango is the Japanese version of Boys Over Flowers. This actually started from the manga, then anime, and drama ( Taiwan, Japanese, Korean, Mainland (chinese) versions.) Hana Yori Dango has a season 1, season 2, and a movie. My favorites will probably be season 1 and the movie ( movie the most becuz of [SPOILER] the wedding scene! It is really romantic. This beginning is about Makino, a very poor girl that got in the super rich Eitoku Gakuen school. When she stood up for her friend against F4 ( Flower 4: A group of the richest boys in the school) they gave her a red notice that means a lot of bullying from the group, that can traumatize her for life and regret standing up for her friend. But soon enough, she starts to fall for a member in the group, Hanazawa Rui and then, she fell for their leader, or the cause of the war, Domyoji Tsukasa! That is only season 1 but you can try it out to see if you like it or not. It does look boring in the beginning, but I advise you to first watch the Korean version, then Taiwan version, Japanese version, then Mainland version to get the feel and not get bored. But its up to you! Lights out for me!

Rainie Yang

Rainie Yang is pretty popular I think, well to me she is. she's an artist and actress. I've actually watched a lot of her dramas. Here's a list of them down below. Her songs are catchy but I only heard some of them. I think she is Taiwan's Sweetheart or something idk. Watever

Dramas I've watched with her in them/ will watch
  • Hi My Sweetheart
  • Miss No Good
  • Why Why Love 
  • ToGetHer
  • Meteor Garden
  • Meteor Rain
These are all really good!

Miss No Good

Miss No Good is a drama that I really like becuz it was really funny. There will always be a scene in the episode that makes you laugh but also some scenes that will make you cry. This is about a bubbly girl named Jiang Xiao Hua with zero sense of style. (As you can see in the picture above she wears bright colored clothes and decorates her motorcycle in a frilly sense of style) When her childhood friend, Jiang Si Le returns wanting to date her, she asks (blackmail) a famous, but poison-tounged stylist, Tang Men to turn her into a real lady. Back then Jiang Si Le was a fat boy so kids teased him. Jiang Xiao Hua sticks up for him instead so they became friends. ( She calls him Fat though.) He left Taiwan and later returned years later with a big party inviting her. She was surprised to see him good looking and rich so that's why she accepted dating him. Tang Men calls Jiang Xiao Hua christmas tree becuz of how she dresses and I particularly think its really funny! It might seem really long, but its worth it staying up late to finish the episode each and every time! There's only 14 episodes so its kind of short.

Boys Over Flowers

This drama was just...THE BEST!!!!!!!!! But for some reason, I just don't know why. It has 25 episodes. This is a korean  adaptation based on the manga Hana Yori Dango. This is about a poor girl named Geum Jan Di who got in a luxurious collage called Shin Hwa Collage because she saved a student that was about to commit suicide becuz of a group called F4 in the school. Basically, when her new friend accidentally drop ice cream on Gu Jun Pyo, a member of the F4, that started the war between Geum Jan Di and F4. But that was also the start of friendship, and love. I know that sounds corny but what can I say? Its true. This drama made me laugh, cry, and feel all sorts of emotions, really if you don't feel anything, you're probably not even human. Try the drama, becuz once you do, it gets you addicted on to every other drama!

Oberweis

Everyone loves icecream stores but what is the best kind? I would say oberweis. Sure their ice cream is fattening and they are addicting (kinda) but the first time I walked in the store, I could smell the ice cream fat and how cold it is. That was my first ice cream store I've ever went in. You can say that it felt like magic maybe if u were my age when I visited the shop.I've also tried their frosty or something? But that was too much for me so I never ordered it againbecuz of my little appitite. But oberweis wasn't the first ice cream I've tasted. I don't know which ice cream was the first but I did like vanilla and only vanilla when I was young. Now I like a lot of flavors, but I don't like strawberry or chocolate for some reason. It's weird but what can I say? Haha. I also like the good humor chocolate eclair icecream but now strawberry shorthcake. Really i've got nothing against strawberries. I just don't like them ice cream flavored. asianluv out!

Kitchen Princess

Kitchen Princess is a shojo manga with 10 volumes by Miyuki Kobayashi. The story is nice though it's a bit of a melodrama kind of thing.A girl named Najika Kazami, who's really nice  transferred schools in order to find a flan prince of hers when she was younger. She called him Flan Prince because he rescued her from falling into a river and he also gave her flan with a spoon, that had his school sign. This leads her to the special school where she starts working at a restaurant, making new friends, while malicious people try to stop and make her unhappy. SPOILER ALERT! She does prove them wrong!

Special Cupcakes
      These cupcakes are special becuz of how short it takes to be able to make them with pancake mix.

Ingredients:
  • 1 egg
  • 2/3 cup of milk
  • 3 tbs of sugar
  • 1 1/2 cup pancake mix
Directions:

  1. Add everything in a bowl except pancake mix and stir.
  2. Then mix in the pancake mix. You can also add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or even chocolate powder to make the cupcake more unique.
  3. Pour the mix in paper cups half way or else it will spill out once it rises.
  4. Put them in the micro wave for 30 sec.- 1minute. It depends on which microwave
  5. Its done when a clean toothpick comes out when you poke it in the cake. You can top it off with whip cream or something. Enjoy!

Cake Mania 3

So if you've played cake mania and etc. u probably know how addicting as a game it is. I play it on my ipod touch which is a bit different from playing it on the laptop. u know how u dont know if u should buy the game or not bcuz of how expensive it is or if u will actually enjoy it? yeah thats how i felt but then i wuz like watever so when i did buy it, it wuz actually pretty fun! I got it for $4.99 so it wuz kinda weird.

You're Beautiful

So the first drama I've ever watched was You're Beautiful. There were 16 episodes. The drama is awesome as in the plot, romance, music, cast, everything!!!! It's basically about this girl, that's going to be a nun meets her twin brother's manager, asking her to pretend to be her brother since he's about to get a really good deal, but the brother's in America, treating his messed up eye. All she has to do is sign the contract. When she gets there, she meets the band that her brother will be with and the lead singer isn't happy that the girl (being her brother) is joining. He complains that his songs require the voices to hit his high notes. The band makes her sing, and when they heard her voice, they accepted her immediately; begrudging, but they admitted her voice was good enough. Somehow, she gets pulled into the whole thing and has to live with the band, and all these things. The drama overall is really cute! It's also funny, and dramatic. I mean, what do you expect out of a drama, right? It also forms a love tangle where all of the band members (3 guys) like her while she doesn't realize any of this. I definitely suggest this drama to anybody that hasn't watched it yet!

Maximum Ride Series

Okay so I think every1 has heard of da maximum ride series by James Patterson. If u haven't go read it becuz it's awesome. There r a lot of action and adventure with a little bit of romance sprinkled on top. The first one is called angel experiment or something I'm not sure, but those are probably the key words to the title. There's an app of the book, but only not for each book, it's for the latest book Fang. Yup the app and the book is called Fang. It's a name for this around 14 year old boy. The main character is the 6 children with wings! They had them since they were little, not like a sew on type of thing. Basiclly they are 98% human and 2% bird. Interesting combination isn't it? The leader of the group is Max a girl that's also around 14. She's the mom, the protecter, and their teacher. Fang and Izzy( another around 14 year old boy)are the oldest in their group, considered as parents among the other children, Nudge, a girl around 11, the Gasman, around 8, and his related by blood sister, Angel around 6. They all make their own names and birthday since they are think the scientist got them as test tube babies without knowing about anything. That was just like a profile character thing but I really luv this series and I heard that after Fang, it will be Angel!I'm no good at keepin dates though, so I better keep checking!
