August 17: Just a note..this night or any of the nights this month, go outside and check out for the largest and brightest object you see in the sky.  If you focus on it, you can actually see the red tint.  That's Mars, and it hasn't been this close to Earth in at least 60,000 years.  I checked it out in a powerful telescope, and I could actually see the shape and curves and everything.  You may not be able to see it as clearly, but you definitely will be able to see Mars.  Try going at 10 to 12 PM.. that's when I went.  The brightest and largest view of Mars will be on the 27th of August.  Enjoy

Went to the CCTV Reunion @ my uncle's house last week.  It's this TV show short series program that my mom and aunts were starring in the 80's.. very funny ^^  Steve taught me how to play Diablo for the first time..

Stupid sister was just digging through my bedroom a minute ago... got pissed off at her and with my short temper, told her to get out.. but accidentally woke up my dad this way and he started screaming at me.. let my sister continue looking through my stuff.. *aiyah* lol xP.. the world's not fair!

Not much has been happening, so I'll just feature a few bits n pieces of A&F discrimination info.. unfortunately.. even though protests have been going on for a year, they still won't stop

Jennifer Kong, left, and Michelle Won, both students at Stanford University, demonstrate in front of an Abercrombie & Fitch store Thursday, April 18, 2002, in San Francisco.

It says: "Two Wongs Can Make It White"

There are several ways to interpret this message, as was posted on several sites: 

-- Two Wongs = One White (2 halves = 1 whole.. get the message?)

-- If you wear this shirt, even you can be "White"

-- 2 Wrongs (Wongs) Can Make It Right (White).. I don't think so

-- Stereotyping that Chinese are good for only washing clothes

News:  Abercrombie and Fitch began promoting a new multicultural line of clothing ... that turned out to send an offensive message to Asians.  Asian Americans are already stereotyped on TV, film and other media as uncultured foreigners who can't speak English correctly.  In promoting this myth in their new line of graphic T's, Abercrombie promotes this and other negative racist stereotypes.  College students launched an admirable nation-wide protest against Abercrombie in order to let Abercrombie know that consumers and Asian Americans will not tolerate this form of stereotyping and racism.

Now for the pixs from all over the country..
