Happy Chinese New Year of The Rat 2008

February 14, 2008

Happy Chinese New Year the Year of The Rat 2008! I'm sorry to start the new year with a "sorry". I've been too busy everyday on traveling and commitment other than blogging. However I still have been keeping in mind the travel blog so I keep taking hips of photos for publishing later. Stay tune for my new travel/photo blog.

It doesn't matter if you celebrate Chinese New Year or not, I wish you a year full of successes and happinesses. I wish that for everything you do, there will be joy attached with it. I also wish you spend sometimes off the web and enjoy your offline family and friends. But don't forget your online buddies. I use facebook to keep in touch with people so if you have one please poke me . You can also add me on other social network sites. You can find links to those profiles on my Community page. Should I put that in the About page instead?

I wanted to wait for the new theme from Brian but it seem like he is too busy with other commitments. He emailed me today saying it should be available about mid-March and I hope it will. Brian earlier also suggested me to keep on blogging and build up my content instead of a complete halt. So yes, this is another blog post to keep things running.

Another apology for my lack of multimedia (photos and video) on my blog. Even though I have been taking photos and videos everyday (some day up to over 1000 photos) but have not used them, yet. Perhaps the time taken to optimize them is more than I have so I'm too lazy to do that. Also I couldn't find a plugin that allow me to reduce the thumbnail file size. I hate using the current WP thumbnail system because they create thumbnails heavier than the actual image file I upload.

Earlier I wrote about China's Slow Disaster and I think those are over now because after the Chinese New Year Eve the snow should melt and things should get back to normal. I went to Guangzhou the other day and the station was clear. I could go by the metro trains without any problems. The article received many visits per day but I wonder why those people never post any comment on it.

For the record, 1st Feb (few days before the new year) till now, I have been to:

1. Zhangjiang, 4 days,
2. Qiao island, 1/2 day,
3. Guangzhou, 2 days,
4. Panyu, half day
5. The rest was in Zhuhai

Once again, have a happy holiday for Chinese New Year 2008. Hope the year of the Rat wont bring mice to your house but instead give you an awesome optical mouse.
