About Youth 默默的我，不默默的我們 is a new Taiwanese BL series that premiered on August 29, 2022. It is adapted from the Taiwanese BL novel, 默默 written by Szumi Huang 黃思蜜 published at Mirror Fiction 鏡文學. The theme song and closing theme songs are written, composed and sung by the just turned 20-year-old newcomer 77Ke 柯棨棋. Only the main theme song has been released at the moment and I’ll add the closing theme song when it’s available. Below is a 7-minute teaser of the drama series…
The Mid-Autumn Festival this year falls on September 10, 2022. What do you eat on this festival? Mooncakes, of course! The Cantonese mooncakes are very common commercially and much more difficult and also time consuming to make at home and you also need a mooncake mould to shape the mooncake. However the Taiwanese versions are much more easier to make as they are made with the Chinese flaky pastry. Below are two cooking videos from 2016 demonstrating the making of two traditional Taiwanese mooncakes, one sweet (red bean filling) and the other savoury (mung bean filling) by Taiwanese food writer/instructor, 蔡季芳 (阿芳老師).

Last year, I posted a list of the all-time most popular Chinese BL novels published at Jinjiang Literature City 晉江文學城. The top novels in that list will stay quite stable without too much changes as long as their accumulated points remain high, or some new popular novels pushed them down the list; the only thing that will make them drop out of the list completely without warning is the banning of the novels! That was exactly what happened a couple of months later after I posted that list, the number 1 and number 3 novels respectively, 天官賜福 and 撒野, were banned and disappeared from the list, so if you go to check the current list now, those two novels are nowhere to be seen.

Came across this new song by Japanese band Deep Squad which is from the OST of the seventh and latest movie franchise, HiGH&LOW: THE WORST Cross, which is set to premiere on September 9, 2022. The movie’s OST has 5 songs as far as I know, but the other 4 songs are not the type of songs I like to listen to. Only this song is generally the type of song I love with beautiful melody, although it’s only available in audio, short version currently, but here it is… I will add the full MV version when and if it becomes available.
