Absolute Boyfriend/Darling (Taiwan Version)

my Absolute Favorite drama. Hands down the drama with the hottest lead actor I've seen in ages. I was hooked in 10 minutes.
At first I thought that this would be a flop because Wu Zun backed out at the last minute. But this proves that there's a reason for Jiro being leader of FLH. He is simply the best :D
Jiro Wang <3 You've made me a rockbaby from a chili. Congrats.
Give you guys some stills first :) 
I can totally believe he's a robot with this picture-its too flawless! 




















First, the opening music is so angsty but so good. Smoldering face, smoldering voice as well? Its made for rock ;D


Who are these pretty girls? Identify them. They are both famous. 

And here is a gift on the top of my wish list for this Christmas (I want the other boxes too actually). Can anyone buy me one in exchange for my eternal gratefulness? 



Alright I'm tired. Goodnight kiss?

Pinched nerves??

Hi all! Can someone give me some genuine advice? I woke up today at 3AM, usual time, and my left index fingertip was numb. It wasn't painful, just a dull, tingling sensation. This continued throughout the whole day, even as I type this. Did anyone have any similar experiences? What are they exactly and are they a symptom of some illness?
Help me please!!

Homage to Halal



When you think of food in NY, what comes to mind? Bagels and cream cheese with lox? Junior cheesecake? One of the hidden jewels of the city lies in the vast web of halal food carts embedded in the streetcorners, their gas engines spewing out carbon monoxide and at the same time the delicious aroma of barbecued meat. What do you get when you put yellow rice, some meat, spices, veggies, white sauce, and hot sauce all together? Chicken/Lamb over rice!!
The experience: 
Open up your white plastic takeout box. Close your eyes and smell. Take the plastic fork and jab at a piece of lamb. Open your mouth and try it. Chew the crisp rind of the meat, and savor the flavoring that enhances with every bite. Pick up a forkful of yellow rice. Put it in your mouth and chew carefully, tasting the earthiness of the turmeric. Also, have a bite of the simple salad: shredded iceberg lettuce with a few slices of tomato, smothered with white sauce. Repeat the above process until there is nothing left. The food they offer is not expensive, yet honestly satisfying, without any pretension.

I haven't yet been to the "Great" 6th Avenue and 53St food cart yet, but from what I have tasted at different food carts throughout town, they all taste wonderful. And the hot sauce is really hot, but not enough for someone like me, a fire eater. 
Not going to give away the recipes!
They also have GYROS!!!!
Next time you try some when you come to New York!! $3-6 to pay for 30 minutes of foodie heaven.
