I am crazy for this Taiwanese drama. For the second time, after Taiwanese Meteor Garden, I am haunted again by a Taiwanese drama and this time is it not Jerry Yan who leads but the Taiwanese F4 heartthrob, Vanness Wu. I couldn't stop thinking of the story and the characters of the casts most especially the ever sweet-faced Ady An who sacrificed her happiness for love. She is a natural actress as she carried her role naturally. Vanness Wu on the other hand gave his best in acting. This drama brings out the real actor in him.
Cast:
Ady An as Liang Mu Cheng (Michelle)
Vanness Wu as Ren Guang Xi (Stanley)
Tiffany Xu as He Yi Qian, Guang Xi's fiancee
Chris Wu as Hua Tuo Ye, Mu Cheng's best friend
Xiao Xiao Bin as Liang Xiao Le, Mu Cheng and Guang Xi's son
Sypnosis:
Ren Guang Xi or Stanley (Vanness Wu), a cocky law student, seems to lead the perfect life. He’s the sole successor to a huge and famous business and a talented ice hockey player with good looks and charisma to boot. But in reality, his lonely life lacks joy, laughter and motivation. That is until he meets Liang Mu Cheng or Michelle (Ady An), the new bento seller at his school canteen. Although orphaned at a young age, Mu Cheng does not let her past affect her and lives life with great passion and determination. A harmless bet brings the two together and Guang Xi slowly changes as Mu Cheng teaches him how to give and love. Tragedy strikes when Guang Xi suddenly has to go through a major brain surgery, that world result in waking up with no memory of his past at all. His mother orders Mu Cheng to leave him and the latter has no choice but to do so. Later she learns that she already has Guang Xi’s child.

So above are photos of the living room. My unit is small so it was just easy; the cleaning and all. The divider is back leaning on the wall again to have a wider space even just a bit, which was formerly placed by the stairs. I changed the curtains too into new ones. I actually thought of putting on blinds but I didn’t found one here that I like. I cleaned my bedroom too and changed its settings. Now I move the bed by the door and have my new corner by the small window used as my little office.

Mothers care their babies like precious and fragile crystals. Every rash and mark they spot on their babies’ skin brings a strike of pain into their hearts. That’s how mothers give love to their babies. According to my mom, she never tolerated a single mosquito to land on my precious skin, much more on rash and irritation to appear.
I can relate to these mothers although I am not a mother yet. I assisted my mother in giving my younger siblings their sanitation when they were little. My cousins as well have babies and I never greed my helping hands with simple tasks like changing their babies’ diapers. With diapers though, rashes sometimes easily appear on a baby’s skin. Because a baby’s skin is sensitive, getting soaked up in wet diaper for hours can cause immediate skin rashes. Whenever this problem occurs, Boudreaux's Butt Paste is always on the rescue.
Almost all moms I bet are using Boudreaux's Butt Paste for their babies. It is on top list of Pediatricians’ recommended skin protection for babies because of its effective result. It is even featured on the famous TV shows like Oprah Show, ESPN and even on People Magazine. Aside from being an effective protection against chafed and irritated skin, Boudreaux's Butt Paste as well is easy to use or apply. Its protection formula includes 16% zinc oxide and Peruvian balsam that easily treats diaper rash and relieves skin irritation. It also has pleasant scent so the smell really won’t bother your baby from getting a good sleep.
To all mothers out there, why not start using Boudreaux's Butt Paste for your babies? Visit their site now and get a free sample.

I wonder it myself too. Why do bad habits are so hard to break by the way? Maybe because we are used of doing it already for a very long time and doing it is a part of our everyday life. Well, I think though that not really all bad habits are so hard to throw away. There are some of my bad habits I was able to stop in a snap and some took me sometime.

Tabasco, this small yet tremendously hot chili pepper is the main ingredient in the famous Tabasco Original Red pepper sauce, which was the very first sauce introduced back in 1868 by McIlhenny family. Tabasco Pepper sauce continuously heating up people’s senses nowadays to give them an idea of a real Tabasco hot pepper. Oh, how I love real hot pepper on my pizza! Talking about this just made me crave for American hot pizza at Circus Cafe. The hot in that American Pizza was courtesy of TABASCO® Original Red pepper sauce, which made it tastier.
I mentioned before in my previous post about how saddened I was when I knew that my favorite pizza house, Circus Cafe in the city had totally closed. It is the only pizza house hubby and I loved among the many pizza houses here. It’s the only pizza house we constantly visited after our first try of their American Hot Pizza. Aside from being friends with the owners of that favorite pizza house of ours, it was the Tabasco heat in pepper sauce they used in the pizza we missed and craved about that never we missed a visit or two every week. I used to munch that pizza too on the cheerer’s bench while watching hubby’s football game, which helped me a lot in giving hubby a "So Much More Than Hot" cheer.
The heat of Tabasco pepper sauce, most especially the original red is so much more than hot indeed but making you crave for more of its heat from every bite. It’s a heat like no other! I overheard one of the costumers in the Cafe asked of a pepper sauce substitute if ever they can’t find Tabasco Pepper Sauce in stores. Well, there is no substitute. Only Tabasco has that one-of-a-kind hot and spicy flavor made from simple combination of Tabasco peppers, vinegar, and salt aged for three years in oak barrels. So it is better to use Tabasco pepper sauce when you cook a dish that requires pepper sauce to enhance the taste. If you want to try cooking with Tabasco Pepper Sauce, check out some simple ideas and recipes at Game-Day Party Menu. For those who intensely craved for pizzas right now, visit Pizza Perfected to make your orders.

The uses of the paper plates:
- 1 paper plate was clipped by the participant's legs
- 1 paper plate was clipped by the participant's armpit
- 1 paper plate was clipped through bending the participant's elbow
- 1 paper plate was clipped on the side of the participant's neck, bending head down on the shoulder
- 1 paper plate was clipped by the participant's fingers
- The sixth and last paper plate was held by the participant's other hand. It is used to fan him/herself throughout the duck walk around the chair positioned on the other end of the line and back to the starting (or finishing) line. Now, imagine how hard it was to walk like that.
