slow dance

Wong Fu Productions recently made a short about slow dancing, I didn’t really realise that there is not much slow love songs these days. I guess coming from the Philippines where it is like ballad country, I didn’t notice it as much. But come to think of it yeah, there’s not much love songs these days, you do have lots of slow songs but a lot are about heartaches. What do you think?

Here’s the short:

web series: Home is where the Hans are

Recently Wong Fu Productions did a short web series for Freemantle Media (the outfit that brings us American Idol among others) titled Home is where the Hans are. It is a 4 part series.

movie : love sick

So if you watched “In Time With You (我可能不會愛你)” and loved Ariel Lin and Bolin Chen in it, they have a new movie out entitled Love Sick. It was actually filmed before In Time With You but released after the series aired.

Check it out:

tv drama: in time with you

One of my favorite actress is Ariel Lin. And I really enjoy all the characters that she has portrayed so far. It is nice to see her “grow” through her series/films over the years. A few weeks back, I was on a marathon streak for her latest tv series “In Time With You (我可能不會愛你)”.

Here’s a little synopsis from Drama Wiki:

On her 30th birthday, Cheng You Qing received an email on “the symptoms of premature aging” from Li Da Ren, her best friend of 14 years. Unable to accept that Li Da Ren is like a fine wine that will get better with age and she is like a grape that will dry into a raisin as years go by, she made a bet with Li to see who will get married first before they turn 35. As she looked around for a potential husband, she discovered that she was surrounded by unacceptable candidates, like gay assistant or cheating ex-boyfriend. The only man who could love her despite her stubbornness is her best friend. The only problem was that they both swore that they were not or will ever be romantically attracted to each other.

gifts

If you still haven’t sent your loved ones who live overseas or back in Manila gifts for Christmas, you can still try and settle for flower delivery, just so that they have something to remind themselves that you are thinking of them. Or there are also tons of sale during these days (clearances for all those items they stocked for Christmas). In fact, gadgets are very much in demand (like say iPad2). So what have you given family or friends for Christmas?

music : still in love with you video

I follow Wong Fu Productions over at youtube. They’ve been making videos for sometime now but I only discovered them maybe about a year ago. I think it was with one of the videos that they did with David Choi. I’ve always loved how they simple yet connected to the music the videos are. The song almost always is the star of the video. They recently were commissioned to do a video for Wang Lee Hom. For those that don’t know he is an American-born singer-songwriter/record producer/actor/film director who is based in Taiwan. And yes he is pretty popular. Here is the video that they did.

and behind the scenes on making the video

the sing-off

There is just something nice about groups singing especially acapella and for proof – “The Sing-off” is back for season 3. Magic happens whenever the group just comes together and everything clicks. I don’t have a favorite yet but so far am enjoying the performances. Here are some of them:
