The Heir (Chinese Drama)

           This month, I discovered an intriguing Chinese drama titled The Heir. It is about the Li family and other families whose businesses revolve around ink making, competing for the prestigious title of producing the finest ink and for the honor of presenting an ink tribute to the emperor.

Ink is very important in Chinese culture because it is used in Chinese calligraphy. Chinese characters are beautiful to look at, yet difficult to comprehend for a non-native Chinese learner like me.

What I like about this drama is how it highlights family ties, strong relationships, and filial piety. This is definitely another C-drama worth watching.

Reset (Chinese Movie)

 I was not able to post about this Chinese movie, Reset (2022) starring, Zhao Jinmai and Bai JingTing. It tells the story of a college student trapped in a time loop where she keeps waking up inside a bus as time repeatedly resets. I will not go into details so I will not spoil the movie. 

The storyline is very good, and I did not find the movie boring from the start. Kudos to the director, scriptwriter, and everyone involved in making this movie. This deserves to be known worldwide. If you have not seen it yet, I highly recommend it, especially if you like the suspense, mystery, and thriller genre.

Xiaomi S4 (41mm) Smartwatch

 After a long hiatus, here I am again. Its the year 2026 and I'm back again for another post. Its been 2 years since I last bought a smartwatch and that one is priced at Php 4,000+. Its Xiaomi 4 smartwatch. Now I bought another Xiaomi watch and its really very nice. Premium watch. Its priced at $115 around Php 6,668 its on sale at that time but now its regular price is around Php 7,000 plus.

I put a screen protector and also the whole face watch protector. Its a gold one but I ordered one that is not gold to match the silver. Its really nice and lightweight. I also like the rubber strap. I have the black color. There are lots of custom watch faces, with cute animals. This one has also a fall detection. Plus, all the health feature of this watch like heart rate, oxygen etc. are reliable compared to my Huawei smartband. So that is why I chose Xiaomi brand.
