feb 25th, bo's recently page is moving ^_^, i'm finally getting a gimmicky blog page set up, for people to leave comments and such, so its here. this will be the last entry on this page.

feb 11th, ate at a very nice restaurant in beijing called "xin hong zi" aka the red capital residence, very nice place, will write more about it and post some pictures when i get back from my trip.

feb 10th, i am so bad with blogging these days, in fact, i'm so bad at a lot of things recently. things such as chasing after girls, going out socialising with co-workers, etc etc. sigh... this miserable winter need to go away fast! On sunday, i will again.. fly back to LA, i have finally gave into the mounting presure from my surroundings, and gave in to the idea of being natrualized by the United States of America. For 10 years, i held out, and always represented the land that raised me. I traveled to over 20 countries, each time, pain-stakingly obtained traveler's visas from governments, proving it to them that people from my country are not fucking backwards. I don't want to write some of the disapointments i've encountered when i actually started to live in china again 13 years later, lets just say they're annoying enough for me to change my citizenship. one of the biggest annoyances i've encountered.... chinese people treat westerners better than they treat there own, that goes for all chinese people, main land, hk, tw, even fucking singapore, well fuck that shit, i'd say maybe its time to learn from the japanese.

feb 4th, as promised guys, here are the pictures from tokyo. enjoy.

Jan 30th, happy chinese new year everybody! my first chinese new year in china in 13 years. just came back from japan, and uploaded my dprk pics after 3 nights of red eye, i gave it a new look and a fasterway for me to upload, so japan pictures will be up soon as well. ok, gonna enjoy the rest of my hollidays, happy happy dog year to everyone now.

jan 6th, belated happy new year and merry christmas to everyone, i took a little breather and went back to LA. Didn't do anything special this time really, but found out how much it cost for guys to go into clubs these days.... i totally should've known. anyways. I spent new years eve with couple of good friends from work, and of course, silvia :-). here are some polaroids.

before the gathering, i watched "qian li zou dan qi" a budget art film directed by zhang yi mou, it was 10 times better than "the promise"

david to, our host, this guy has the coolest dog and a pimpin apartment

me with david's dog, his name is 7up

ban and stone, chain smoking, horny northern boys

silvia and i

dec 21st, sitting at home, slept for 5 hours after i missed my freaking flight to LA. boss surprised i handed the form in a day before my flight, despite the fact that it was okyed by 3 people including him two weeks ago. i guess my limit of procrastination has reached a new low. on a happier note, i will see LA only 24hrs later. its funny, i no longer hold a grudge on beijng winter now, its windy and horribly cold, but the air is a lot cleaner than summers, wait, never mind, i still hate it, i forgot about the "shower once a week" "sleep overnight in their seald car" cabdrivers. :-/ .

dec 20th, people have no idea how hard it is for the chinese citizens to obtain a travlers visa to Japan.... i'm one of those few who does now. everything in this country is inneficient, the expressway, the department stores, parks, restaurants, and i should've know, the visa process. the last time i went to japan with my chinese passport was 2001, from LA, it took me 3 sheets of paper: income of the past 3 months, invitation letter, contact info with iteniary. this time, my leaving from my own country required the following: 1 invitation letter, 2 invitation form, 3 invitation guarantee form, 4 annual tax form from the inviting party, 5 proof of employment from the inviting party, 6 pictures indicating relationships between the invitee and invitor...... the list goes on.

dec 10th, 3weeks of working OT has set me back on updating my blog, its ok, more global ads to hadle. also, my server's been acting weird lately :(. anyways, the bali pictures are up. just saw a very good indi play today called "huang huang yo yo" ?@?W?W?\I?\I?@(swinging back and forth?) wonderful acting by four very talented actors, i'd recommend all who's in beijing to see it, 150rmb for front row seats, it was so worth it. oh yeah, its getting cold here... my second winter in beijing :-/ hoping this japan visa works out...

nov 15th. i can be never so proud. thank god chinese government didn't put a firewall on npr podcasting, i heard this from them. apprently chinese had noodles 4000 years ago, oldest evidence of noodles, which, at least so far, puts us as the inventor of noodles. not the italians, hehehe. thats right! and to think.. they have a picture of the 4000 year old noodles, thats even more fucking amazing.

nov 5th, ah..... a new page finally, can you smell the freshness in the page? hehe, alright, some pictures from my first halloween in china. sounds weird, but this is actually the first halloween when virtually every single one of my friends dressed up. when it comes to places that conjurs up nolstalgia such as halloween, beijing definitely is on the list. whatever that means.

from left to right, joan, uh..(chef?). eva. tiffany, ning.

me, eddie zhang, don't be fooled people, i wasn't the only one that didn't dress up for the occation.

brett model, no, that IS his real last name. i forgot the otherone's name, but i hear they're "close"

me and joan, joan is such a charater, she made her own nija turtle costume, she could do the face too. a girl first wished to be a bowling pin and then decides to be ninja turtle can be my best friend anyday.

carly dressed has her inner self.

alex somehow wanted to be a gay redneck with an afro.

afterwards me and silvia suddenly realized it was rita's birthday. she took us to some club called xenia, i have a feeling it'll be closed soon.

me and silvia, her blond wig and rita's stockings attracted a lot of looks that night.
