I wrote this post not too long ago for Laovoices.com called, Anonymous as in AnonyMOUSE. I believed that people get carried away with their comments and I’m not a big fan of Ego-boasting types of talk, and fancy polish Shakespearean talk is a real turn off to me, I’m sure to others as well. For those that know me, I’m a very simple person, but very detail oriented so I pay close attention to little details that some might have overlooked. I like to post part of this post here, with some modification for Nye Noona’s readers; for some of you that might have read this already but might not have understood what being a guest at someone’s house means, my blog is like my home, my living room that welcomes everyone.
It’s rare to find reliable news coming from Laos, if we do hear then it’s only half the news, the good news that is. For most of us, it’s even worse that we only understood half in what we read, instead of trying to understand the situation, we become so enraged and have the itch to put our two cents worth and not fully understand the real issues of discussion. In the virtual world, we can be anyone we want, for most of us we choose to remain anonymous but keep in mind that you’re not as anonymous as you think.
As anonymous commenter, some might feel that they can say anything that they want because it’s a virtual world…it has no bearing(s) on feelings. Right? Actually, it’s not all true. When you’re replying to a comment of certain individual, you are indirectly talking to other readers as well. It’s very upsetting for some readers to be in the crossfire of War of Words, when they only come to visit mainly for entertaining. I welcome constructive criticism, comments that add value to the post, and comments that apply to the post, but not insult or comments of self promotion, as you can see I don’t have Ads on my blog because I don’t want to annoy my readers. For some commenter, it becomes a control issue, if that’s the case then it might be time for you to start your own blog, voicing your opinion in the fashion that suits you best.
Some might say, ‘this is a free country, we have the freedom of speech,’ yes indeed, but please try to be civil about it, this is a personal blog. As an anonyMouse myself, my guideline in writing and commenting is that I’ve the freedom to voice my opinion as long as I’m not ashamed to put my real name and face next to it. We have a very small Lao online community, and you are a guest at my blog, you have to respect my readers as well, if you have the need and itch to insult someone, please go somewhere else.
I feel sad that I have to post this here, writing this post for Lao Voices wasn’t bad because it’s more heavily traffic than Nye Noona but never thought that I would have the same issue here at my personal blog. I sincerely apologize to my readers of what had happened in the last month or so, and thanks for your patience and visit.
I sincerely apologize to my readers who don’t like fashion and might be disappointed in the last few days, for I only blogged on fashion, covering fashion week in Thailand, and the good news is that this event is only held twice a year, the next event will not be until February 2008 .
I’m not a fashionistas therefore it appears that I’ve been working real hard, and now I need a vacation…Laos seems like a good place at the moment. I’m happy to say that everything should return back to normal.

I was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get to camp out at Wat Lao Buddhavong of Washington DC during the week of July 4th. The Wat (temple) is situated on a 50+ acres, so there’re plenty of space for us if we wanted to. My second sister and I had been planning to camp there and I was looking forward to this because my GI Joe sister is a ghost magnet and I was hoping that maybe at nighttime we’d see some good stuff, but I think the thought of camping out in the middle of the cemetery sort of scare her and she back out the last minute; plus talking my other sisters from camping there with us also. I guess it was somewhat nice to stay at the hotel, but I think it would be better staying at the Wat, at least it’s free.
Look at these photos; can you imagine what it would be like at night?

Chinese New Year is the only time of the year that I feel like I’m Chinese since I moved down South. When I was living in NYC, all I have to do was go to Chinatown, and I instantly fit in, feeling Chinese, seeing Chinese people and eating Chinese food, I rather miss doing that, and sadly we don’t have Chinatown here. When I was younger, my dad gave us money in a little red envelope on Chinese New Year, it wasn’t a lot but we knew that it was money inside. This is the first Chinese New Year without my mom, and sadly, I couldn’t even be there with my dad, I was extremely sick that day and missed out all the big celebration. The year starts out bad for me, but let’s hear what others have to predict about the year of the golden pig 2007.
China is bracing for a ‘mini’ baby boom in 2007 as many young Chinese couples want to have an offspring during the auspicious ‘Year of the Golden Pig’, which comes only once in 60 years. Babies born in the ‘year of the Golden Pig’ are believed to have good fortune and will lead a comfortable and wealthy life. The pig is one of the 12 animals on the 12-year cycle of the Chinese zodiac, which follows the lunar calendar. According to Chinese astrology, people born in pig years are polite, honest, hardworking and loyal (I don’t know how true this is, I know several piglets, and not all fit into the description, but anyway that’s what they said.) They are also supposed to be lucky, which is why many Chinese like to have babies in a pig year. If after reading this and decided that you also want a little piglet, then you still have time, join the crowd, think piglets.
