About Me

Sevenses is your average friendly Asian girl who loves to distract herself from her studies by watching dramas. Needless to say, her grades and time spent watching dramas have an inversely proportional relationship. She has a warm and loving family who wishes she would just grow up and stop daydreaming, but Sevenses knows life is too bleak without dreams. She suspects this is why she likes Asian drama so much, but the less said about that, the better.

She likes shiny things and pretty people (and here pretty applies to personality as well). Dancing is strictly no-no, but watching is fine. Sevenses can usually be found curled up on the sofa, reading fiction to her heart’s content. She likes all sorts of dogs, except the small yappy kind, because even as a dog lover, she has standards.

Her Inner Cynic frequently fights with her Inner Optimist, resulting in Major Mood Swings. She likes levity in speech but sincerity in action and knows that she is a hopelessly honest person with waaaay too many morals in today’s society.

Her taste in music is best described as eclectic, and her favourite composers/artists range from Chopin to Barber (reverse alphabets ftw!) to Jay Chou to Vienna Teng. Her parents wishes they had never bought her that iPod, but they will have to pry it away from her cold dead hands. Music moves her very easily, and if asked about Titanic, she will absolutely deny crying at the end.

She likes talking about herself in the third person and eating. Sevenses also wishes you a happy visit and many bushels of yummy cheese.

Overheard in Sevenses’ Brain, for a sample of my insanity in action.

Sevenses,

After reading your “about me” page, it seems we have a lot in common. Watching Asian dramas is also my favorite way to procrastinate from studying. And from your reference to dorsal ganglia cells, am I correct in assuming you’re in some sort of health profession? Me too. I’m in pharmacy school. My taste in music is also eclectic, and my favorite cheese is sharp cheddar. ‘Sorry if I’m a bit random. I just wanted to say Hi.

Hey, not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I just need a quick little translation chinese>english, pleez?
These are messages that show sometimes up on Tudou, so I uploaded caps:

I’d like to know what they mean. Thank you in advance!

That’s okay. My site doesn’t have annihilation capabilities like yours does when people comment on the wrong page.

The first one says: This allows you to drag the play cursor to anyplace on the bar. (Drag anywhere on the bar thing and it starts playing there. Very useful.)

The second one says: Your upload speed is too slow, try downloading Tudou download accelerator! (The most useless and annoying message when you’re trying to watch your favourite show.)

My site has annihilation capabilities ? Really?

And thank you so very much with the translation!

People tend to leave their requests in comments in random topics. Do not do that. You could die! (^_^)?

It is totally annihilation-capable.

Ah, yeah, I came up with that, but it isn’t really respected. I mean it’s like for ciggies, it’s written “very dangerous for your health” “smokers die”, but they buy it anyway.

Flyingcrispi, if you are using Tudou, do not download their accelerator, it does nothing for their videos. But I have figured a way around their beyond snail speed…open up 2 epi.s at once in 2 separate internet portals. Example, load ep. 2, (you must copy and paste to 2nd Internet portal), then click on ep. 1 to load this. Do something else for a little bit, and viola, both video should have completed loading. Tudou also has memory, so even if you close it off, and go on the next day, the loaded movie is ready to be watch without needing to load again.

RE: Tudou

Sometimes streaming is slow, but downloading it is faster.

Go to http://www.flvcd.com/ and enter in the URL. Then you can download the file directory :)

Great blog—just read your recap on Javabeans’ site!

LINSHA!
you should have added some sweet talk before asking (so rudely) like you know – thank you sevenses for your cool cool recaps, like how everyone does.

Linsha – Nope. Keep guessing. :D

(Aww, jezar, that was sweet of you… but it’s okay, she wasn’t rude, just blunt. :) )

Hi Sevenses, have been quite a follower of your wonderful recaps over at Dramabeans. I really must thank you for those detailed and engaging recaps. Like linsha, i’d thought you are Singaporean too! (Well, at least i am. Haha.) Hmmm i’m rather bad at guessing… Malaysian perhaps?

Lol, I think I’ll just keep you guys guessing. It’s too fun. :D

Wow Sevenses you’re one interesting person haha
I was curious, are you half korean half chinese, seeing as you are able to sub for both languages.

11 11 2008
sevenses

^ Nah, I’m Chinese. The reason I can even recap Korean shows is because the Chinese subbers are super fast.

I believe it’s somebody’s birthday today, so happy birthday to the more-than-average friendly Asian girl! I must however point out some inaccuracies in this ‘About Me’ post, particularly some observational evidence to disprove the inversely proportional relationship between the aforementioned subject’s time spent watching dramas and the level of academic excellence achieved and maintained. See you in class next year!

Hello Sevenses… to start off… thank you very much for your recap on Frozen Flower… I have been wanting to know what others (mainly persons who watched and understood the background and korean as I can’t LOL) do a review on it! I was sooo excited to see it over at dramabeans. I think I’ve read plenty of your recaps and thoughts and reviews and its quite uniquely interesting and entertaining… as I am Asian but speak non of the language in the Asian dramas/movies… i look forward to befriending and your future work.

I love your intro abt urself…I haven’t tried something cool like that but sorry to blab so much… I am off now… to browse ur blog since its my first time here… glad to have found it… by chance r u watching…’ swallow of sun’ ‘friend… our legend’ ‘dream’ by chance u recap on chinese/taiwanese drama/mov]ie too??? I am in need of recaps/reviews. if not, do u have any blogs u can refer me too???

Happy Day!
