Why you shouldn’t go out on a Major Chinese Holiday
If every permanent resident of Kunshan will be out on the streets at the same time, there will be at least 700 persons standing per square-kilometer of land. This rough estimation excludes the foreigners and temporary residents in the numerator and the buildings and houses in the denominator. So everyone going out on a major holiday spells havoc and mayhem in every street corner.

Che Guevara’s last diary entry
Yesterday, October 9, marks the 40th anniversary of the death of Ernesto Che Guevara.
Guevara, an Argentine medic who joined Fidel Castro in fighting the US-backed Batista dictatorship in Cuba and later becoming a leader of the Cuban revolutionary government, was captured and executed while waging guerrilla war in Bolivia in 1967.
In a tribute, Fidel Castro once recalled that it was Che Guevara’s habit to record his observations as a guerilla in a personal diary:
During the long marches over abrupt and difficult terrain, in the middle of the damp woods, when the lines of men, always hunched over from the weight of their mochilas, munitions and arms would stop for a moment to rest, or when the column would receive orders to halt and pitch camp at the end of a long day’s journey, one could see Che…take out his notebook and, with the small and almost illegible letters of a doctor, write his notes. What he was able to conserve from these notes he later used in writing his magnificent historical narrations of the revolutionary war in Cuba…
Being Uncool Sucks
*sigh* I’m green with envy. Again. I didn’t subscribe to that blog. I didn’t bookmark it. But every time I somehow end up reading it, I feel terrible.
It’s one of two popular local celebrity blogs that make me feel bad. It’s because the bloggers seem to have it all — they’re gorgeous, artistic, talented, rich, and related to someone cool and influential in music (parent/partner). At the same time, they are not THAT famous, so they still enjoy normal and private lives.
I won’t disclose their identities or provide a link to their blogs, because that seems pathetic and stalker-ish, but I think some of you can guess which two bloggers I’m referring to.

NEW BLOGS: Blogyanihan Contributions
(cross-post)
I don’t usually do “blog reviews…” no, wait, I have never done a single blog review. The least I want to do is to come across as an “expert” on blogging. Besides, I’m extremely subjective, and I admit to it. The way I see it, I should be the last person to write about other people’s blogs. Besides, the word “review” strikes me as playing to the role of a Roger Ebert or an Alfie Lorenzo.
I managed to access four new blogs from Marifi Villegas’ class on Online Journalism (Journ 113), which are class requirements. I’m not a Journalism student, but I have been blogging for close to three years now that I feel the need – no, the urge – to write about other people’s blogs. By any means, these are not “reviews,” but my thoughts on the J113 group blogs.
To be honest, I’ve lost touch with my roots in campus journalism, and even if I didn’t, I used to be a particularly difficult editor to please. But beyond that, I decided to let go of my journalistic wedgie and I’m here to present you with the J113 group blogs.
Read about them here… and read about the class here. Blogs “reviewed” are:

Me solving a Rubik’s cube
I will entertain you with entertainment! And by “entertainment,” I mean “a video of me solving a rubik’s cube.”
Before we got nuts in assuming that I’m a genius, a couple of things:
- I doubled the speed because a 5-minute video would just be ball slappingly boring. For the record, the actual time of the video is 4 minutes and 6 seconds.
- I didn’t figure out how to solve the cube all on my own. I had a little help from this guy. But I’ve been solving 1 side of the cube since I was in the 4th grade. That should count for something right?
- I have clean fingernails.
- I may have been wearing a shirt, but I was naked under the table.
- Clutch is the most awesome band ever.
