More About Latest Chinese Series That I Like

These past few days I have been busy watching another Chinese drama starring Zhao Lu Si. I first came to know her in the drama, “I Hear You.” I really liked that drama and I want to try another series, so I decided to watch it. Before that I have tried watching a few Chinese series which I did not finish. I am a subscriber of iQIYI one of the popular Chinese online video platform. Through iQIYI, I am updated with the latest and trending Chinese dramas. I usually watch Cdramas from this online . I am proud to say that from start until the end I have finished watching this drama. Watching Wuxia Romance Fantasy Chinese series is really enjoyable. The scenery and the costumes are all beautiful. That is why I am an admirer of Hanfu clothes.

I have seen Mr. Bad Guy, starring Shen Yue, the lead before of the Cdrama, “A Love So Beautiful”. This is a fun drama to watch since it’s a modern fantasy about a person who loves to write and the character in her novel comes to life. I just got impatient watching this that I fast forwarded it. But don’t imitate me because this drama is a good watch. I remember another series entitled, “Cute Bad Guy’, who has a similar plot. This time the female lead is cartoonist and her character an ultimate villain came to life. I still have not finished that drama.

Next, that I have seen is the “Song of the Moon” Cdrama, another wuxia, drama and fantasy genre. Beautiful and handsome female and male lead, starring Vin Zhang and Xu Lu. This is about reincarnation, about the God of sun and the God of moon. I also got impatient and fast-forwarded this series. One of the Chinese actresses that I admire is Bai Lu. Her beauty is similar to another Chinese actress Cecilia Liu (Liu Shi Shi) whose drama I have enjoyed watching before. Her leading man in this drama is Leo Lu. If you like their tandem they have another contemporary series, “Love Is Sweet”.

‘Till the End of the Moon is another good drama. This one is a long drama too! 40 episodes. Also, the impatient me, fast-forwarded this series again. All of the ending is satisfying, in my opinion. I have missed watching Chinese dramas and by watching all of these dramas. It felt like home.

White Rabbit Candy

           After a long time, I'm back again! There was a lot of going-ons in my life. Got married in 2020 and then the next year I got pregnant and gave birth. It is just now that I am slowly getting back on track. Last week I bought White Rabbit candy online. This is not the local White Rabbit candy by Candyman which is a hard candy and toffee flavored. The candy that I'm referring to is the milky chewy candy that has an edible wrapper because its made from rice paper. Sadly, the candy was banned in 2007 due to formalin allegations and melamine scare and it has been a long time since I last tasted it. 

Now, its already available online and I was able to buy and taste it again. It is the same milky and chewy candy and I just love its edible wrapper! The White Rabbit candy pack has an expiration date printed on its back. It is manufactured by Shanghai Guan Sheng Yuan Food, Ltd. Today, White Rabbit is still remember by most Asian kids and we feel nostalgic again. Here in the Philippines there was even an ice-cream creation of White Rabbit in honor of the popular childhood candy that we all grew up eating. 

I also saw a memento of White Rabbit online. I bought a White Rabbit Pillow online and it is really nice! It is a must-have for White Rabbit fans all over the globe. Don't have any idea of what I'm talking about? Then better try and buy White Rabbit candy!;

Xiaomi Gadgets and Stuffs (Part 3)

  This is the third and last installment of my post about my Xiaomi collection. It took awhile for me to post another blog. Anyway, I'll start now.

I said to myself that I will not buy anymore Xiaomi items if my collection has reached twenty pieces. There are a lot more nice Xiaomi products out there but I just chose to buy the affordable ones.

What I like about Xiaomi is that they have all the products available whether it is for office or home use. They even have for pets. I bought a pet foot bath, and a comb. I have a poodle so these items are for her. I have tried their jellyfish pet comb and I like it because the ends are not sharp, and it kinda massages your pet while brushing the hair at the same time.

They also have a comb available for us. It comes with bristles, for massaging and anti-static. I also bought their stapler and calculator. I like the white color. It looks so neat, especially when you use these items while at work. I love using the calculator when I'm doing computations at work. Last but not the least, I bought their leather wallet. It is so simple, but it really looks good. Perfect for gift-giving.

Over-all I am really satisfied with all the Xiaomi products that I have bought. Other items that I mentioned does not directly have the brand Xiaomi on them, but these products are sub-brands of Xiaomi. Even up to now I love using my Xiaomi Deerma Dehumidifier and Aromatherapy diffuser. If you want affordable and good-quality products, I suggest you check-out all the products of Xiaomi, not just their super cool phones but also their other products.

Latest Chinese Dramas That I Have Seen

  I have not updated my blog lately. This post was long overdue. I was thinking that I should post a different entry for each movie, but due to time constraints, I will just make one post, and a summarize review/description of each dramas that I have seen. I have liked watching Chinese dramas compared to Taiwanese dramas. Chinese dramas have good storylines and plot.

The first Chinese youth drama that I have seen was A LOVE SO BEAUTIFUL. I really like the OST this drama. The title is 我喜欢你。It means "I like you." This is about two high school students, a fun and bubbly girl, and a reserved, smart boy. They live in the same apartment building. The girl has huge crush for the boy, but the boy was indifferent to her feelings. This drama also explores the life and struggles of the youth today, and as they become mature and enter adulthood.

The next drama that I have enjoyed wathing is, I HEAR YOU. This is about a girl who is an anime dubber, and a reserve and talented young musician and businessman. Their paths crossed after agreeing to join a reality dating show. I like this drama because it focuses on one's dreams. Teaching others to never give up on your dreams, no matter what.

A similar drama, about youth is PUT YOUR HEAD ON MY SHOULDER. The story is about a smart, and reserved guy, and a lively girl. Who accidentally lived together in the same apartment. The guy constantly appears on the girl's life whenever she in trouble.

Another interesting adult drama is about a contract marriage. A not so popular actress who has cancer and a young CEO of a company was forced to enter a fake marriage. I really like the plot of this movie. It really got me hooked.

Last but not the least is my current favorite period movie. The title is CHEF FANG. I also love the opening song in this drama. This drama is a about a young woman who is a skilled cook. She was forced to marry a young rich but bully son of the magistrate due to an accident. If you like detective shows, with stories of food on the side, and also romance, then I highly recommend this to you.

I have not told you the whole story of each of the dramas I have seen for I do not want to spoil it for you. Happy watching!

Xiaomi Gadgets and Stuffs (Part 3)

  Here's another post of mine about a few Xiaomi stuffs that I bought. Please do check out my previous Xiaomi post (part 1 and 2). So far this third installment of my post is the one wherein my favorite Xiaomi stuffs are featured, aside from my Redmi Note 7, of course!

I have a Xiaomi Mitu Rabbit bluetooth speaker. What I like about this speaker is that it has a light indicator. The star on the cap remains steady if the battery is full, and it will blink if the battery is already low. The rabbit ears color is blue. I think it means that the bluetooth is connected. The sound is okay, more of the bass, compact and loud sound. I placed the Mitu rabbit speaker in my room, and I love listening to Chinese music using it.
Next is the Xiaomi Mitu building block fidget finger anti-stress cube. So far, this is the cheapest Xiaomi thing that I bought. I was stressed when I am assembling the toy. I find it funny, since this is supposed to be a stress reliever. When I was able to build it, I was relieved, and happy. This is a great gift for kids. I think this cube is much fun to hold, compared to the fidget spinner.

I also bought Moka coffee intelligent tumbler by Kiss Kiss Fish. This brand is a subsidiary of Xiaomi. It does not include the brand Xiaomi, but in fact it is made by them. This tumbler has an OLED screen display. It tells the temperature of the drink inside. If you put cold liquid or hot, it will remain that way for some hours because the tumbler is insulated. There is also a built in rock, scissors, and paper game that you can play on the OLED display screen. I'm not a coffee drinker but I bought this because its my first time to see an intelligent tumbler.

The recent item that I bought, and in fact I am using it now is my Xiaomi Deerma F628 (5 liters, large mist) Humidifier. This humidifier is great for rooms with air-conditioning. Having a humidifier at home is good for the lungs, and skin. This humidifier also comes with an aromatherapy diffuser. You can either put a drop of your favorite scent oil, or just simply put water and turn on the humidifier. I used the cinnamon bark scent oil. Next time, I'm planning to use citronella oil to keep insects, especially the mosquitoes away. This is a good home appliance that I recommend from Xiaomi. Again, its not that expensive. Worth-buying.

So there you go, there are a lot of products to choose from Xiaomi. From mobile phones, to home appliances etc. Xiaomi's got it all for you!

Xiaomi Gadgets and Stuffs (Part 2)

 
Hello everyone! So I'm going to continue now with my Xiaomi stuffs posts of mine. I am really happy that Xiaomi is not only into mobile phones but they also have subsidiaries brand that ventures into other useful and helpful products for the home and office.

So the next thing that I bought was an umbrella. I have tried using it, and I can say I was satisfied with it. There was a bit of trickle of rain yesterday, and I used it, I was surprised that it didn't get too wet. Also, it is made of sturdy material, and you can see it and feel it. It is an automatic umbrella, and it can even withstand the harsh winds. More so, it is a good protection from the rain and the sunlight.

They also have different kinds of bags. The one I bought is a body bag that can also be used as a back pack. It has many pockets inside, and also a bottle water holder on the side. The material is water resistant. Doesn't get wet easily. They also have different sets of gel pens, and pens. They have the white, and silver. I have tried writing with the pen, and I can say is that its smooth and clear. They also recently come up with colored pens. The pen comes with refill.

I also bought a powerbank for emergency purposes. If ever my phone's battery is low, I can use this to keep my phone going! So far I am satisfied with all the Xiaomi products that I have bought. Keep posted for part my other reviews.

Xiaomi Gadgets and Stuffs (Part 1)


This week I bought a few stuffs from Xiaomi flagship store in Lazada. I also ordered Xiaomi items online and from a different seller if its not available at the Mi official online store. I also posted the items in my social media. Xiaomi doesn't only make electronic gadgets, and phones. They also make eco friendly products, for health and lifestyle at home or at work. They have thermometer, bottle water container, intelligent portable water bottle, quality water pen tester, purely anti-pollution mask, robot vacuum cleaner and a lot more. That's what I like about Xiaomi, they are always innovating things, and has a solution for urban life living, to make life more pleasant, easy, trendy, and enjoyable.

I bought their Xiaomi stuffed toy, it is a rabbit doll wearing Ushanka with a star (Lei Feng hat), in other countries the design of the hat was changed because a lot of people view the red star in a negative way. I like the cute rabbit, its name is Mitu. I also bought headphones, and the Mi Band 3 bracelet.

The Mi Band 3 is a useful gadget. It has heart rate monitor, step counter, shows you the date and time, temperature and the weather etc. You can connect your phone and the Mi band. There is one feature that I like. Are you forgetful of your celphone? If you can't locate it, the Mi band can detect your phone. Just choose "find your device," and your phone will alarm.

Also I bought a tripod, and selfie stick also from Xiaomi. I am happy with all the stuffs that I bought. For item description just go to their online store. Mi.com

I am suggesting that you check out Xiaomi stores in the Philippines to see their wide ranged products. This shows that not all China made products are inferior, or of poor quality. Watch out for my next review!
