Thank you very much to the readers and fellow bloggers who have supported me and left kind messages. You all are still here, right? I don’t want to come off as delusional in what could be my very last entry. Whew, what a relief. I may return one day to torture you all with broken humor and puzzling comics, so be on guard or just not visit. You know, whichever is easier.

TVB Reflections Scrapbook is now up and running. The War and Beauty album currently contains the highest amount of screen captures, but all albums are going to be filled with additional images in the coming weeks. My primary focus is on costume and wuxia series, particularly those produced during the golden ages. Please feel free to look around.

Perhaps the most important task to complete though is “doing research”, meaning watching a new TVB series. Rosy Business and Emergency Unit have both been generating positive reviews and ratings, but I am leaning a lot more towards the former; the fierce combination of Sheren Tang and Wayne Lai demands attention, and the script appears to be equally strong regardless of whether it is a duplicate of a Mainland drama. In addition, the “Lucky Prince and Little Princess” blog romance in Emergency Unit already turns me off. If you have seen these series, I would love to read your thoughts on them. What are your impressions on the various characters, plots, and performances?

Next on the list is writing a fan fiction. I realize the idea is cliché, but my goal is not penning a love story between two TVB actors who are not actually dating. It is more a matter of preference than it is one of quality, as there must be many well-written, romantic fan fictions dedicated to specific pairings in cyberspace. I am an inadequate writer of romance that is not geeky, so having my contributions will not help that part of TVB fandom. My target genre is science fiction, and the story will most likely be a satire/parody and structured as a script. I want something that is fun for me to write and read, and hopefully, for others as well.

Everything is still being brainstormed, so I have nothing too unexpected to announce while I slowly reform the blog.

Thank you all for the support and patience! Please don’t underestimate the power of your kind words.

Yes, it’s true! TVB Reflections has somehow managed to survive one year and will likely continue to annoy its readers with sporadic updates and frequent hiatuses. Those who have not given up on its elusive author may remember that this small blog once debuted on the publishing platform Blogger in late 2007. Although it is now powered by Wordpress and hosted elsewhere, this nonetheless calls for acknowledgment. And as a very generous birthday gift, TVB Guide’s TkN has written an exclusive “Behind the Scenes” feature.

During these past 12 months spent as a blogger, I have had the privilege to meet a number of very friendly people, some of whom I consider my online friends. Even a few appreciate my weird sense of humor. Surprising? Yes. To those I am not too familiar with: I am usually harmless unless provoked, so don’t be shy!

Thank you for having lived through a full year of random disappearances, sarcasm, and questionable jokes among other things. Your support has been much appreciated. I think you deserve a pat on the back for still having the patience to visit this site more than I do for still having the desire to maintain it. As for the future, I hope to publish at a quicker pace, but I favor quality over quantity. At least that’s my official excuse. I will only promise this: to keep writing entries for myself even when you may not like reading them. Now off to another year of craziness we go!

The current banner and link button will be replaced next week. In the meantime, feel free to make a suggestion on the next actor/actress or pairing to be featured.

If you find anything that looks odd, please notify me. The layout has been tested in all major browsers including Internet Explorer 6 (I still don’t recommend it) to function properly.

On an unrelated note, a banner I recently made for Esther Kwan’s Realm is up. To see the full banner, visit Anime Master 179002’s excellent site for the talented actress.

The Photo Gallery contains high-quality screen captures of TVB series and artists. At the moment, only a few albums have been uploaded, but the site will be periodically updated with more. To browse current images available, enter the Photo Gallery now.

Regarding browser compatibility, although the safe, flexible, and highly customizable Firefox is recommended, I’ve tried my best to make the layout compatible in all popular browsers – yes, even the buggy Internet Explorer 6 that fails to render some codes properly and lacks support for certain types of images (e.g. PNG). However, please do let me know if you find anything that looks odd. I’m always open to suggestions on improving any aspects of this site.
