Satisfied with Tracfone

This post brought to you by TracFone. All opinions are 100% mine.

Much as I love television dramas I hate real life dramas. I got into an argument over the cell phone and since I don't like to admit defeat the call lasted for hours. When the cell phone bill came, to my horror it was humongous! That's when I decided not to fight over the phone particularly over cell phones. 

Good thing there is now the wireless service provider Tracfone, the cheapest way to use and own cell phones in America. Real TracFone customers can attest the authenticity of their plans. So many features are available and one can be sure to get what they really need.

If only I live in America, I could have chosen the annual plan with $119 only. But there are also the choice of a pre-paid plan or a monthly plan. It guarantees that there will be no surprise contracts, credit checks, activation or deactivation costs. The cell phone price starts from $10, only if you opt for a simple cell phone with basic features like call and text capabilities. This is advisable for parents to pick for their kids. If you like a smart phone it will cost you $29.99 with So many features like camera, web access, app capability and others. 

No wonder many Real TracFone customers are very satisfied with their service.

KDrama: Birdie Buddy

Remember UEE in You're Beautiful?



That's exactly why I can't bring myself to watch Birdie Buddy because I can't forget her, her bitchiness in YAB.



She plays the female lead here, still not interested, sorry UEE fans.

This was supposedly to premiere November of 2010 but due to some problems with the network it was kept in limbo (together with Poseidon and The Musical) until tvN a cable channel picked it up.


I really hope it will do well in the ratings, but still not interested, sorry again UEE fans.

KDrama: The Musical

This is the most anticipated comeback to dramaland of Kyo Hye Sun after Boys Over Flowers stardom. There were some network problems (like Poseidon and Birdie Buddy) that delayed its telecast. Finally it was picked up by SBS and given the timeslot. It premiered on Sept 2 and I have yet to watch it.


It also cast Daniel Choi of Baby Faced Beauty.

TwDrama: In Time With You

One of my most liked Taiwanese Actress is Ariel Lin. I’ve seen her in Love Contract with Mike He, Tokyo Juliet with Wu Chun, It Started with a Kiss and They Kissed Again with Joe Cheng. She also had Love or Bread still with Joe Cheng but I didn’t watched it. She was out of the dramaland for a year or two due to her physical health. Her latest TwDrama: In Time With You, might also be her last. I will surely miss her if that would be the case.

Synopsis
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 ill temper and 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.

Currently Watching: City Hall

I was getting bored waiting for new eps for KDramas Protect the Boss, Scent of a Woman and Myung Wol the Spy. We had 4 days Eid holiday so I finished everything up (meaning latest ones). I gave up on ep 2 of JDrama Ikemen Desu Ne, not because I didn’t like it but because it I can’t help but compare it to the original You’re Beautiful and kept on missing Jang Geun Seok. I told myself if this will be the case, might as well watch YAB again for the 3rd or 4th time.

And so I decided to watch the KDrama City Hall instead.



I am on the 10th episode already and I kept on hating Jo Gook (Cha Seung Won), he’s so mean to Shin Mi Rae (Kim Sun Ah).

Jo Gook, how can you be such a user? And Mi Rae, how can you be so stupid?

I must admit though that he looks yummier here than as Dokko Jin in Best Love (but I love his character there!)

Shin Mi Rae is a low-ranking secretary in Inju, but she works her way up in becoming the youngest City Mayor. As their paths met, they have to deal with each other’s personal and social differences. But despite their constant bickerings, would they end up in each other’s arms? -KoreanDrama

Skip Beat Trailer

Most anticipated TwDrama by me - Taiwan's adaptation of my fave Skip Beat manga, Extravagant Challenge.

They already finished filming but the telecast is set early of next year, I hope it comes out sooner though. Since the 2 main male leads are Korean - Choi Si Won and Lee Dong Hae, I guess they the need to dub it first.

So here first are parts 1 and 2 of the trailer.



Crazy, isn't it? Well the manga is indeed crazy, and I think they did a pretty good job. I must agree that for manga adaptation, Japan and Taiwan are better (in terms of craziness, over the top antics) like Hana Kimi, Hayate the Combat Butler, etc.
