where have i been....

I know, I know, I have been absent for a bit. My bad. Or rather work related busy-ness that was inescapable. For most of March I was working 2 projects at the same time, one short one with a very tight deadline (the film is due out on 16th May) and the other the long term one I am the lead for (the cool Hollywood/Japanese one). Three weeks of getting home at past 10pm was exhausting and I've no idea how I managed. Anyway, that's all done with but the long term project is going to be heaps of work. In light of that I've decided to consolidate my random blogs all over the place to being here so I have one place to go and write stuff and that's that. I have a work blog and a film blog too but they stay separate as they have their own domain names. Expect much more variety in posts from now on (assuming i get a few minutes a day to blog of course)

Next week i have a film festival to go to which I'll be blogging about on my film blog (http://countingpulses.com) but I will cross post the last film review with AAA community as its Himizu which has Nissy in.

Right now I am enjoying 'Tumbling' a lot and its made me go all weepy at some episodes. Its such a sweet drama! http://www.mydramalist.com/dramalist/saharial is where you can catch up with anything I am watching/have watched and do add me as a friend if you feel like joining there too! I'd love to compare and get recommendations :)

In other thoughts. I am dropping the very first domain name i ever bought. I never use it and its based off the catchphrase of a singer who i think is being a total jerk these days and has lost direction. I still love his older works, but I think creatively he is a little dried up. Sad thing is so many people worship him and allow him to dominate awards that talented others don't get noticed.

hmm what else... this evening i was 'aftershock' which is a Chinese film about the Tangshan earthquake of 1976. I cried a lot at the end.

You don't have to feel bad about not being around too much! I can only imagine how much work you were putting in at your actual job while you were away, and that's much more important! >_< Just make sure to take more time for yourself now and again, of course! (I'm also happy to hear you'll be using this blog more often! ^_^ I check my friends' page constantly, so I'll look forward to reading when you write!)

OH WOW!! That's going to be so exciting, seeing Himizu on the big screen! Definitely looking forward to the report, as I have no idea if/when I'll get to see that too! =P (I doubt it can beat Love Exposure though...<3)

About Tumbling, who is your favorite character? That show truly is special! Even our mother enjoyed it when she was watching it, and that's saying a lot! But hey! The entire cast is so talented, especially for having learned to tumble, right? ^^

I really wonder who that singer is you're thinking of...I almost feel like I could take a guess, but maybe I'd be wrong! ^^;; (Not a Chinese/Taiwanese celeb, is it?)

Glad to hear from you! And I'm so happy you get a longer break from work~ Time to have a Tumbling marathon, ne?

OOH!! I just had a thought!! What if we had a Skype party, where we watched Tumbling at the same time? =D If you're up for that, it could be lots of fun! And we could see if Maddy is available too! ^_^

ahh i am sure Himizu will not beat Love Exposure but i think there will be a Q&A with DenDen the actor from Himizu, so that should be really good! There area few Q&A with director and some masterclasses too, so its going to be an awesome 4 days!

I think a skype party for Tumbling would be awesome! How about on 4/5/6 May as I have those days off completely and it would be great to do that soon!! I don't know if i have a fave character yet, but I just saw the episode when Nissy smiles for the first time and its soooooo lovely!
