Meteor Garden Disclaimer --Y.
To be clear, I do not condone the verbal abuse and the physical/sexual
assault actions of the actors involved, yet I find myself deeply compelled to
watch what happens next. As a mom of boys, women and girls need to be treated
with respect, no means NO and this is where I slink off the moral podium and
fall back into my day-dreaming ways…like “what is Daoming Si doing?”
To also be clear, I do not have time for this. I’m an executive at a public company with a
demanding job, 3 young kids, married to my dream husband who owns his own
business – so I’m busy, literally writing this as I wait in the parking lot to
pick up 1 son from Chinese school…yet somehow Meteor Garden has made its way
into my life, and it’s here to stay.
The risks you take watching this show:
·
High probability of neglecting your children (if
you have any)
·
Personal hygiene may fall to the wayside
·
You’ll catch yourself humming their theme song
at random moments of the day, and if you didn’t like the song “Say Something (I’m Giving
Up On You)” by A Great Big World, you’re in for a world of hurt. That’s me.
·
You’ll wonder if life will ever be the same, once
you’re done watching the series
On the plus side:
·
My mandarin has improved quite a bit, and "Dà Bèndàn” is now a
more rated PG expression I can use for @#$!-heads
·
I have lost more than 2 pounds, forcing myself
to exercise when watching the show
·
I have connected with friends near and far, from
my childhood to my adult life, and have woven them into this Meteor Garden ---Weeds,
we are. (You’ll understand this after you watch the show).
If this is how my mid-life crisis is going to manifest
itself, so be it.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing about your life and the things that matter to you. Many women successfully balance between their work and house responsibilities. Also when it comes to educate and help kids in their studies then also women play a big role. Learning new skills whether it a musical instrument, dance, or even if it is learning mandarin, keeps one motivated and fresh up mind also. Many people get benefitted from watching movies and serials in the way of learning a particular language. Many people know about it but forget to apply and utilize their movie-watching time. Thanks for triggering that idea. Good Luck!
