In the Company of Jerry Yan

Until now, the universe hasn't granted my request for a clinic and medical spa. But I'm still hopeful it will be given to me in due time. Instead of fretting over things that are still difficult to achieve at this point (translation: while waiting to hit the lotto jackpot to help finance my goals), I'm reading the latest book by Brian Tracy

called "Now.. Build a Great Business." It's a helpful read for someone like me who "attempts" to run her own empire without any entrepreneurial background.

In between reading books by the gurus, I went over my DVD collections and guess what I found:  "Meteor Garden!" Yes, that TV series which made Asia fall in love with Dao Ming Si and Shan Cai. Admittedly, at that time when it came out in 2003, I swooned for Jerry Yan, too. But then I wasn't crazy enough to fly to Manila and watch his concert when the F4 visited the Philippines. I didn't fancy the thought of screaming with the rest of the women who believed him to be their future husband. Anyway, I played the DVD and was hooked to the series all over again. It sure brought back a lot of memories, including the time I got myself a  layered haircut and ended up looking like Dao Ming Si. Never in my dreams did I intend to look like a man. On the brighter side, at least he's a pretty boy.

Then I wondered whatever happened to Jerry Yan. I googled for his whereabouts and found quite a number of series he's done after Meteor Garden. Interestingly, he's essayed the role of a doctor in "The Hospital" in 2006 something I've never heard being released locally. Or maybe I was too busy with my own love life in 2006 so I didn't care whatever was being aired on TV. I tried searching online to watch the show. There's one in youtube  but I still want my own DVD copy of it. It's out of stock on Amazon. Somehow, nothing beats the tandem of Shan Cai and Dao Ming Si that I secretly wish they'd end up together in real life. Too bad Barbie Hsu (Shan Cai) is  now engaged to a wealthy restaurateur in China. 

Until my business plans  finally push through, Jerry Yan flicks will keep me company to make waiting game more bearable (hear me out, Universe!)  Lee Min Ho, Jerry's Korean counterpart, is way too young, and I couldn't get past episode 5 of "Perfect Match" without having to stretch my imagination to make his partner pretty enough for him.
