"

Ok now this drama! it is sooo good, I cant believe I'd ever say this but lol....I actually like it alot, at first I thought of how it was action and police and immediately I thought this was going to be a boring and lots of shooting kind of drama but actually it was more than that, The way the drama is made and set up is really interesting and theres many parts that are so funny, mainly because of the character attitude...oh and BTW the two main guy character omg! they are so HOT!

hahaha love this drama Its sooooo funny, This is like how the three sisters are witches and they do many things in order to have the family become a happy and great family, the many things that they do are soooo funny!!!! Seriously if you LOVE comedy, watch this!!! you are going to laugh...oh and this is really cute drama,it has this family ..at home type of feeling...(lol...I dont know but thats how I feel, possibly mainly because I am Taiwanese so seeing this makes me miss my relatives in Taiwan...!!) but yah its pretty funny!

Eat the Wedding Cake Dress! Crazy awesome Creation!

Hi everyone! wow..recently I've actually been able to blog alot yay :) well today I was randomly going around and searching trying to find a perefect mascara and then wah lah~ I found this crazy picture! I cant believe it!!! An edible wedding dress?! Its so awesome!

A little more info about the dress or Cake :D

"Here's a way to have your wedding cake and wear it, too: a one-of-a-kind bridal gown with a full skirt made of - you guessed it - flour, sugar and loads of frosting.

The wedding cake dress was created by Lukka Sigurdardottir and documented on the blog Gather and Nest in photos that show a woman wearing the whimsical creation as another person cuts out a delicate slice to reveal a rainbow-colored filling.

Practical, this dress isn't. It might not survive the bride's walk down the aisle - unless she was carefully wheeled in on a cart - and would no doubt require her to stand very still during the reception.

But as a work of art, it simply takes the cake."

Amazing creation!
Its so crazy!!!
Lol I would totally want to try on this dress
....hahaha but I wonder how she manages to wear it on

But well What do you think?

Crying because Google is leaving?

Have any of you guys heard about the news of how google threatens to leave china. This is all due to these censorship problems(of how google is too open and revealing, china does not like the fact that there people can search anything on google, usually on there search engines many stuff are blocked) and also because google has revealed too many on google books without asking for the authors permission , But like seriously wow, crying over google and even giving it flowers is this too much ? What Do you think?
