Any recommendations for a good Chinese Drama?
Planning on watching some, and I know you watch a few.

Oh, that's a tough one. I've watched a lot of dramas, but there aren't too many that I would recommend....And most of the dramas I've seen are relatively old - I feel like the more recent ones aren't that great. =/ There's also the problem that most of the Chinese dramas I've watched are historical-set pieces, so I'm not sure how well they translate into other languages.
Martial arts classics like Condor Heroes might be good? Did you have any particular dramas in mind?

Well, me and a friend suddenly decided to learn Chinese, so it was for that. I'm gonna try and look into as many as possible, since repeated exposure is good for that sort of thing. Thanks!

Haha, Chinese is a great language. XD; Other languages are cool too, of course. Have you found any good dramas or movies?
If you don't mind possibly leaning towards a Taiwanese mandarin accent, I know Taiwan has a lot of dramas based on anime (though I've never really watched them). Oh, one that I did watch and thought was ok was called It Started With a Kiss (though I wouldn't really recommend it if you don't like romantic comedies with an airhead main female character) starring Ariel Lin - she also starred in Legend of Condor Heroes 2008, which is the only drama in mandarin I've seen so far that I thought was pretty good.

Ah, not yet, but I'll keep looking.
Hm, it would be interesting to hear the different accents. I'll keep looking into stuff.

I found this website that might be helpful for learning Chinese - on the right-hand side, there are links for beginner, intermediate, advanced, and extensive learners of Chinese. I'm currently watching the video series Growing Up with Chinese in my spare time. This might be a good place for reviewing and to get your feet wet.

lol, I understand. XD But it's not just sweet words, the red does contrast nicely with the blue so that both are vivid.

haha your third dA birthday is in six days! x3
It's your call~ If there's something you would like me to draw, I'd draw it wholeheartedly i'll do my best to cover anything possible: fanart, original characters, landscapes, animals, concepts, etc...
(though it's probable i won't be able to finish until the birthday... I promise it won't take months at the very least xDD)

wow, 3 yrs~ Time flies by so fast. O_o
Mmmm....I really don't know. How about one (or more) of your original characters, and then you can decide what they are doing. No problem on the time - take it at your own pace. ^_^
Thank you Ruri~~~~~

Rurichin In reply to JDillius [2011-03-08 11:13:17 +0000 UTC]
yeah... three years make you a dA veteran, right?
are you sure you want a drawing of my own OCs? Is there one you want specifically?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
JDillius In reply to Rurichin [2011-03-08 16:54:55 +0000 UTC]
haha, a DA veteran with not much to show for it
but yeah, I like your OCs (even though I don't know their names ), unless you want to draw a different character, that's fine too.
Though hrmm....Ok, how about Tsubasa from .hack//sign meets one of your OCs?? You can choose whichever OC and tell me what happens.

Hi!! I hope i'm not pestering you too much today... hehe. Your poetics made me remember of a song i like very much, so i thought i'd share the lyrics? It's a Japanese song called "Gentle Dawn" and to tell the truth, it's the ending theme of an anime called .Hack//Sign (with which i was obsessed for a while OTL). You can hear it here: [link] (idk if you'll like the song... i love it but it's very... "alternative" XDDD)
"You, who seek eternity, are a capricious dreamer
As you cling to a fickle dream, to where shall you go?
I, who wept because I sought the key to open twilight
But could not reach the moonlight--to where shall I go?
Even if the two of us lose our secrets in the other's eyes,
We won't unclasp our layered arms
Pale moon of January, hide the morning glow
To a night that should have no end will come a gentle dawn
Because of the weight of love, which hurts the closer one gets,
When our chests were separated too far, I called it freedom
Saying, "Only in dark places are there things that shine,"
I gazed into the distance from my tiny window
Pale moon of January, how far will you sink?
To a love that should have no end will come a gentle dawn
Pale moon of January, hide the morning glow
To a night that should have no end will come a gentle dawn "

really? yay i'm happy!
where did you watch .Hack//Sign? CN? XDD I just loooove the soundtrack. And the story although it can get a tad depressing and slow

JDillius In reply to Rurichin [2011-03-07 22:43:29 +0000 UTC]
Haha, I think it was CN, but I can't quite remember. It's been so long. XD I feel like I want to rewatch the show now. X3 It definitely can get depressing and slow - but we seem to like that genre sometimes.

Heey, JD~! How's it going?
I'll be pressed for time for studying until early January but i miss our chats and nothing can be done about it D:
Well, at least a little escape won't hurt just today.
How is life? Mine is a little boring as it is. Lately i've been juggling between having my studies done and day-dreaming. I guess i day-dream too much because i'm lonely :< maybe that's why internet is so addicting? Haha.
I do hope you've been faring well. (sorry, no time to read and reply all your journals because i know i'll be chatting indefinitely on dA if i hang around any longer. I'm really really sorry. I'll definitely get done with it in January, when my tests are over)
If we don't meet again till new year, JD, I wish you the best New Year and Christmas!! Happy holidays!!
See ya~

Ruri~~~ I missed you!! I knew you were busy with school, so it's alright, no need to feel sorry.
I do hope you've been doing well! Good luck on your studies!! Study well, but not too hard is what I would like to say, but I wish I knew a good way to study that can help. =/ I hope your daydreams are relaxing - can see it as a necessary break between studying?
I've been generally alright. Still trying to juggle work with life. I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, maybe? I'll probably have to relearn how to juggle life with school when I go into grad school. Don't feel compelled to read my random journals - some of them probably don't make sense. >//<
Same to you - best wishes for a Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year!! See you~~~

Haha pigs will be flying before i study till fainting. I've never been good at sitting around when not in front of the computer But hey, thaaanks it means so much!!
So you're aiming to grad school now? Studying is for life i guess D: but how is work? I hope you've been adapting. I can't wait to hear more from you after all of this is over
Thanks and take care!! See you next year!

JDillius In reply to Rurichin [2010-12-15 18:53:00 +0000 UTC]
Haha, I wasn't expecting to hear from you so soon - I sure hope I don't become a distraction....
Yes, studying is for life. D: It's what happens when people keep coming up with new things; even if you know everything there is to know now, there will be new things tomorrow. It's a good thing, but I don't like studying....Which makes me worried about whether or not I can survive grad school....o_o
Work is generally going well. Still not very happy during inactive times and still getting stressed out a bit during hyperactive times. Thankfully my coworkers are awesome and help me out when they know I'm overworking myself. I'm going to miss them when I leave for grad school. I think the main problem with work is that I feel like I've been taking a lot of days off for holidays/sickness/preparing for grad school. I feel like I'm shirking my duties, but my boss hasn't told me off or anything yet. >_>; Oh well...
I can't wait to here more from you as well! Good luck and happy holidays!! Take care~~~

Rurichin In reply to JDillius [2011-01-18 12:10:07 +0000 UTC]
yeah... i guess that is why ppl tell us to choose something we like to do. I've chosen to go for graduation in Mathematics this year and i hope i'll be ok with studying it for the rest of my working life xD it's scary and exciting at the same time haha.
i feel like you'll be fine during grad school it's a hunch. Afterall, that's a choice you made and you've survived so much till now! So good luck, i'll be cheering!
aww you're so lucky to have found a good team at work! Well, you can't help to take days off during holidays, sickness and prep school, can you? xD I get the impression your boss doesn't need to tell you off because you keep doing that to yourself... Just don't overwork yourself too much, ok?
Talk to ya later~

Haha, I never thought of it that way; that my boss doesn't need to tell me off because I do it to myself already. lol
I hope you find life in general to be more exciting than scary. I'll be cheering for you too!! Take care and talk to you later~
