2003-07-27T05:00:00.000-07:00

Ack 5am hurry this up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm immature right now. So sue me! *grins*

2003-07-27T04:29:00.000-07:00

I am too tired to write or read anymore. I just want to hit my bed soon.

2003-07-27T03:58:00.000-07:00

Brain slowly going into mush. At this hour, you are expect to be grumpy and tired and whiny. But I made it this far. What another two hours to go? Right? God My coworkers are going to read it in on Monday morning. Forgive me. Try being up for this long at a computer. bleh

2003-07-27T03:30:00.000-07:00

One thing about being a monitor , checking all these sites and going into hour 21.5 is that you notice people are dropping out like flies. Very sad. so close and yet so far. :(

2003-07-27T03:02:00.000-07:00

Yay I want to thank my newest sponsor Pear who is currently in China. She donated 10.00 to me. YAY my farest donor!

2003-07-27T02:02:00.000-07:00

I'm tired, I'm think I am developing tunnel carpal, i'm paranoid. But It for a good cause. 4 more hours left. I decided if I will post up the more pics later. :)

2003-07-27T01:36:00.000-07:00

We had once ingenious way of raising money for our cause. One of them is to install permanent monkey paw plaque with the donor's name in the alleyway they help rebuild. Here is an example of it.

2003-07-27T01:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, you can't avoid them, they are everywhere. YMCAs do exist in Chinatown. In fact the only place with a pool in the community.

I am getting so very tired. Mind fuzzy. On top of my monitoring duties. Keeping freinds awake. I am such a scatterbrain right now.

2003-07-27T00:31:00.000-07:00

Okay lack of sleep will make you less inhibited. But I did manage to wake up a couple of girls. My crush saw those pics. All he said was "damn". Don't know if that is a good thing or bad thing yet. We'll see.

2003-07-26T23:57:00.000-07:00

Okay its midnight only six more hours left. Some of the ladies are requesting some eye candy. So I am going to oblige. My just shower look. Now behave all you ladies and gay men. (I'm single!) hehhee

2003-07-26T23:33:00.000-07:00

Okay I hate cheaters. Cheaters for a good cause make me even more sick. Using an auto bot program so he or she can systematically blogged at exactly on time, deserves to be call scum bag. I know it for charity. But 99% of us are playing by the rules and staying awake while he or she gets to sleep while we are all mentally and physically tired. That is totally mess up. If you can't do it. Dont' participate. Why can't people do that. If you can't do it. Drop out. Around 20% drop out, varying reason from forgetting to family emergency or becoming sick but at least they play by the rules. This person didn't.

2003-07-26T23:15:00.000-07:00

The very first Cable Car that ever ran for on August 1st, 1873, but a little known fact. the conductor that was intailly suppose to do it on that day got so scared that they had to postpone it. Mr. Andrew Hallide the inventor had so much confidence in his invention that he did it the next day. Aug 2nd, 1873.
So this plaque commerate that fateful day.

2003-07-26T22:29:00.000-07:00

What will you do differently next year?

Let see, get more sodas, get more sleep, be more organized for the blogathon. But what I gain is some new freinds and insights on the goodness of people in this world.

From my blogging buddy Yano!

2003-07-26T22:00:00.000-07:00

My crush is currently camming me. Nothing nasty. But he the guy who is making me smile and happy.

2003-07-26T21:31:00.000-07:00

Signs like this exist because it wards off certain spirits or in some cases like these brings luck and longevity. :)

2003-07-26T21:04:00.000-07:00

Donaldina Cameron was a Christina Lady who virtually save woman from prostitution. In the 19th century. Most men came here to mined from gold. But not many came over with their husbands. So women was "imported" to satify their male needs. Donaldina Cameron would break into these brothels and saved these girls. And she would then hide them in a hole under the house and send the police going looking elsewhere for them. This house still stands. But I will tell you guy what is in this current age.

2003-07-26T20:30:00.000-07:00

I am going to go on a slight tangent here. In San Francisco we also have a Japantown and I want to share with you my favorite pic.

2003-07-26T19:59:00.000-07:00

One thing I learn about doing this. Is that as the hours go on. You get lazier and lazier about posting. But in my case. I am still low on pictures. Too lazy to go out and take them.

2003-07-26T19:36:00.000-07:00

A lot of bricks were recycled from the 1906 earthquakes. Notice its jagged edge.

2003-07-26T18:58:00.000-07:00

Volunteers of al types come to help out clean up Chinatown and along with it, learning it history of it from the team leader. Here you see them congregrating .l

2003-07-26T18:33:00.000-07:00

This is one of the few open spaces in Chinatown. The Chinese Playground is known by all for it fun playground and the story and legends of ghost that still haunts it area.

2003-07-26T17:58:00.000-07:00

Here is another brick building to show you more in details how earthquake retrofitting will look like.

HALF WAY MARK We guys.

Say hi to YANO, she and I are scheming.

2003-07-26T17:34:00.000-07:00

Spofford alleyway has appear in many TV shows and movies because of its rustic look. But I don't have a better pic. I will post one up if I find one. :)

2003-07-26T17:04:00.000-07:00

Here another view of the Famous Ross Alleyway. 5 years ago. It was really dirty and inaccesible. But now. It is clean and more pedrestian freindly.

2003-07-26T16:30:00.000-07:00

Okay woke up from a powe nap. It refreshed me. Yay!

Me and some other blogathon blogger have some thing up our sleeves. But I will continues posting more pictures at 5pm. :)

2003-07-26T16:04:00.000-07:00

Okay my brain is slightly getting fried. But let me go into deal how I got involved with this group. Back as a sophmore in high school. There was a need of volunteers to help clean the alleyways but it also gives a stirpend to the volunteer group if they did volunteer 2 hours of their time to clean up the alleyways. Since I live about a couple of block from Chinatown. I decided to volunteer. But this project has drawn me to become a better leader and understanding more about the community and here I am. 8 years later. A board member and still work with these youths in helping making Chinatown a better place. :)

2003-07-26T15:29:00.000-07:00

okay I am trying to save pics to last me a bit longer than expected. But I am running out of pics. Must conserve them.

Right now at hour 9.5. I am a bit tired but I am doing really well. :)

Very happy right now. We can do it!

2003-07-26T15:02:00.000-07:00

As I said there are family that live in the alleyways. Look at this cute baby!

2003-07-26T14:30:00.000-07:00

The Chinese Free Mason, established in 1853, is also known as the "Chee Gung Tong". During the early 1900s, the founding father of the Chinese Republic Revolution, Dr. Sun Yat Sen, staged his headquarters in the tiny building for six years. It was a secret headquarter of a society that worked to overthrow the Ching Dynasty of the Manchus' Government in China. Its popular slogan was "Fan Ching, Fok Ming", roughly translated into "Overthrow the Ching Dynasty, Restore the Ming Dynasty". When the Chinese Revolution began in October 10, 1911, Chinese Free Mason helped by lending approximately two million in republican government loans to the cause.

Due to lack of central leadership, Chinese Free Mason eventually branched out into different interests and associations. Some became benevolent associations, others became employment agencies, still some created labor unions, and others formed criminal triads. Many foreigners often misinterpret secret societies as being of illegal activities when in fact, only a small portion are.

2003-07-26T14:00:00.000-07:00

These is where you money is going to support. Developing youth leadership with the exception of the lady in dead center. She's the coordinator! :) These youths lead the Chinatown Alleyway Tour that I am doing online virtually. Go check it out!

2003-07-26T13:31:00.000-07:00

Slight break from the tour. But I thought this is pretty scary. Don't you think?

Going to do some laundry now!

2003-07-26T13:00:00.000-07:00

This is one of our lovely alleyway that you see right here. As you can see it quite spacious but alas to qualified as a "street" it must be 33 feet across. Most alleyways are 22-31 feet long and thus don't get any city funding. Adopt-an-Alleyway does Bi-Monthly Cleanup of the alleyways to ensure that they are enjoy by the community.

2003-07-26T12:33:00.000-07:00

Murals like this hang on Ross Alleyway to depict everyday life here in Chinatown. Ross Alleyway has also an interesting history to it. It old name is Old Spanish Alley. Why was it name like that? Because all the Spanish men that ferquent that alleayway. It use to house brothels and gambling parlors and bars. The low downs of society but now it houses family associations, a temple, dry cleaners, babershop and florist. My time has change!

Going to do some laundry now!

2003-07-26T12:06:00.000-07:00

Family Associations exist in many of alleyways. In the turn of the century. Many families didn't know how to start their lives here in San Francisco, so Family Association or "Tongs" are there to help them get comfortable in the city. Tongs are only availble if your last name is the same with the Tongs or you won't get any services.

2003-07-26T11:29:00.000-07:00

Stockton Street in Chinatown is the main throughfare. Most of the everyday activities of its resident happen here. Stockton Street use to be very dirty but due to CAIA and it volunteer. Now it sparkles. :)

2003-07-26T11:00:00.000-07:00

Pagoda Alley use to house a perfume factory run by a German Chemist and whenever people passed by it. They will say "Hong Ah!" "Hong Ah!" So hence the Chinese name of this alleyway in Chinese is Hang Ah Alley.

2003-07-26T10:33:00.000-07:00

Okay almost back up and running. I will be resuming my monitor work and Chinatown Posts in the next half hour. :D

2003-07-26T10:18:00.000-07:00

The joys of Blogger being a bitch and erasing your main template is that you get to start rebuilding the SAME SITE AGAIN. *kicks blogger*

2003-07-26T09:37:00.000-07:00

My Blog is acting up. More will follow once I fixed it. Sorry people

2003-07-26T09:06:00.000-07:00

Robert Louis Stevenson and Chinatown has a very close relationship. Back when the Chinese people was shunned and dispise. Robert Louis Stevenson and his wife embraced them. So this is the memorial for his love of Chinatown and so future generation can remember who he was.

By the way new picture up now. :) I showered and feel a lot better.

2003-07-26T08:30:00.000-07:00

This is one of the temples in Chinatown. This is Tien How Mieu or Heavenly Temple. This is one of the very first Buddhist Temple in the nation.
It is also known as Waverly Street. If you have seen the movie Joy Luck Club, then you will know this is the street that Waverly Jong lived on and named after.

PPS POSEURS IS MY COMMENT BOX. :)

2003-07-26T08:02:00.000-07:00

This plaque commerates the founding of San Francisco. This spot is in Portsmouth square which is in the heart of Chinatown. The area that is call the Financial Distict is all LANDFILL. And my office is located there too.

Oh by the way HAPPY BDAY MIKEY. You're still 21 plus 2 decades right?

PPS POSEURS IS MY COMMENT BOX. :)

2003-07-26T07:30:00.000-07:00

Chinatown really value the little open space that we have. There are currently only 3 parks in a 16 block that we have. Chinatown also value their open space. Spaces like the this tall was banned in the 1970's due to the sunshine ordinance that was pass. Only two buildings are past 4 stories. One is the Holiday Inn seen here and another is a condominium.

2003-07-26T07:01:00.000-07:00

A lot of building were made of bricks because they were the cheapest materials available. But during the 1906 earthquake. Chinatown collaspe not from the earthquake but the fires that soon emblazen the city. But Chinatown was soon quickly rebuilt because the city wanted to move Chinatown to the other side of the city. Now in this picture you see them retrofitting the building where steel bar are place between bricks so that they will only shift and not fall.

2003-07-26T06:36:00.000-07:00

Chinatown has many hidden secrets in its alleyways some of which is shown here. A fortune cookie factory is shown here. But a little trivia fact that most people dont know. It is NOT an chinese invention. It was invented here in San Francisco. Fortune cookies are imported to Chinatown from the US.

Forgive me if there is a lagged. I am one of the monitors. :D

2003-07-26T06:01:00.000-07:00

Chinatown is home the second mostly densely populated area in the Nation. The first being Manhattan. Over 100,000 residents call Chinatown home. Here is a map where which showcase the boundary of Chinatown. This map also showcase the 41 one alleyways that exist in Chinatown. this map was done in Ross Alleyway. Which is one fo the most famous alleyways and heavily foot traffic area in Chinatown. Unlike most alleyways many residents live, work and play in the alleyways. So Chinatown Alleyway Improvement Associaton was form to 1) perserve the alleyways for future residents and 2) to upgrade the quality of life for its residents.

I will be most a pic per hours as I realize some of the pics didn't come out. I might run out to get more pictures later. :)

Name withheld.

Q: How do I deal with a person who is socially inept, who can't get along with
others, in particular people of the opposite? He is awkward with people in
general, doesn't understand at all how he should react to others, and takes
offense to almost anything.
A: Personally for me. If you tried to see this person faults and try to "steer" this person to the right direction and noticed the faults. You did your job. If this person doesnt't want to change. You don't need to hang around this person. Once this person realized their faults. Then this person will have to learn it the hard way.

Another question from LuckyKat!

Q:. As a Chinese-American, do you feel more Chinese or do you feel more
American? Do you ever feel an "internal conflict" between your two sides?

Being a Chinese who was born in Malaysia and been in the United States for 20 years. I strongly identify with my Chinese side. There is many aspects of me that make me Chinese. I speak it, I eat chinese food almost everyday. I love Chinese music. But growing up in San Francisco and American, I embrace many aspect of my American side. I have the freedom and the right to be myself and true to who I am. Internal conflict is is constant but I have found a balance of who I am. That balance came from many year of soul searching. And this is end product.

Drinking Mango Black Tea
From an Anon. Friend
Q: If you are currently dating after recently breaking up. Would you tell your ex about the person you are dating this person.
A: Well that is a hard question. That depends on two factors. A) How close of a friend are you with your ex and B) How sure of yourself if you are with the dating.
If things are progressing well and you guys are good friend still. I say go tell him. It will make him realize that you have move on. Whereas if you aren't really good friends, I suggest wait a little bit of time. But still tell him in end. It will be a good idea.

Bringing back the Conversation with My Mom about me being Gay.

Well today is my one year anniversary of coming out to my parents. Wow time flies. I can't believe that one year has past from telling my parents that I am gay. The following days after today was fill with run emotional of coming out to them. The denial that I was gay, the hurt that they encounter knowing that one of their own flesh and blood was those "types" of people. The blaming that I have cause Grace's death if I have stay with her and watch out for her. The endless begging for me to change and realize that I like women. But their pleads came on deaf ears. After weeks of silence. My mom and I had a talk about me. How she feels that I am going through this phase of liking men. But I calmly told her that I was never interested in women and I have accept that fact. I am hoping in time that they will accept that fact.

"You should have stay with Grace, she was so pretty, she love you, but now she dead, if you stay with her, she would have not died"

"Mom, she knew I was gay, she was helping me, so you guys won't worried."

" So many girls like you, don't you want to be happy?"

"Mom, I am happy, I'm happy being myself."

"Don't you want to married?"

"Mom, do you want me to married a woman to make you guys happy and me knowing that I will cheat than for me to be gay and not hurt anyone?"

"(Silence), I guess you're right, but What did I do to make you like this?"

"Mom, you did not make me be gay. I was born like this, think about it mommy, I love you and dad very much, don't you think I want to be straight? If there is a way for me to like girls and be straight, I want to live a normal life."

"But I still don't understand why you are like this."

"Mom, Dont worry about it, you'll understand in time. All I want you is to be proud of me and not to worried, I'm a good boy and I love you both...."

One year has past since I came out....Gone of Chris hiding behind the back of my parents, lying to them when I slept over at my boyfriend's house. Gone of the pain of my fears of my parents finding out that I was gay. Gone of the uncertainties of the feeling of my parents reactions. They understand that I have a hard life ahead. I am still a double minority in this community, I am asian and I am gay. But I am happy of my life and my heritage.

This year, my parents know about me. I don't have to lied anymore, I don't need to hide behind their backs. I have gone throught a lot. But I am stronger now. I know who I am in life now. My parents do slowly accept that fact now. They ask me to not tell the realtives which I won't do. All that counts is my parents know. They are still in somewhat of a denial of my sexuality. But I know in time they will accept it. I know because I am their flesh and blood and they know I love them unconditionally. I am still their son.

From my friend Mike

Q: Would you accept a marriage proposal if your SO proposed without a ring and also, would you propose without a ring?
A: Again matter of situation and the person. In my case. I would accept a proposal without a ring. A ring is just a material object. It the word and the commitment you give to a person. I think that will be the most important thing to me.

Half mark for a lot of us half an hour ago!!!

Question for my friend's friend.

Q: there is this guy, who has a boyfriend...and they been together for a very long time and the other day, the guy flirts with me...and im not gonna say i didnt flirt back, this guy wants to have sex with me...and he has a boyfriend what should i do?
A: Okay maybe because I been online for the last 12 and a half hours. But this one is pretty obivious to me. Boyfriend doesn't know. It not an open relationship. Boyfriend want to cheat with you friend. IT CHEATING. I think your friend have a good head on his shoulder and the decision should be clear cut. Simple as that.

Q: Do you feel more comftable living in SF than you would do anywhere else in the world? Would you like to live anywhere else?

I would love to live in Tokyo and Hong Kong for a while. And Sydney will round out my top 3. I love metorpoliation city and I will be so totally happy!

From Luckykat again. :)

Q: Define your sense of style in fashion.

I like to say I am urban preppy. I love Banana Republic, DKNY, and A/X but yet i can go really casual on days that I don't need to go anywhere. I love my Nike Prestos and I wear everywhere and they are comfortable.

#46 post. on track 60 = 15 behind

I need to start numbering these post so I know I can do this.

Another question came in care of the love Miyuki ( I know two of them) ehhehee

Q: How can you stop yourself from always falling for the men who are bad for you?
A: Hey Miyu, the question is why do you let yourself for fall for them? You know they are bad for you. Then don't let your heart fall into that trap. In this case, I say use your better judgement and you will do fine. Sometimes when you tell yourself these things, all you need to do is acknowledge it and execute it. It does not hurt to reject all the bad ones. Whose going to end up being more hurt. You or him?

2002-07-27T16:03:00.000-07:00

Wow Linda one of my 4 favorite Female Asian Journalist Out there sent me some really thought provoking ones. Now I am all awake again!

Q: Sometimes i question the saying "honesty is the best policy." if you know that by being honest, you will really emotionally hurt someone you
love. how would you handle the situation?
A: This has actually has happen to me about 4 months ago with my last ex. I felt he was moving too fast and I got scared. I know he loved me very much but if I can't be true to myself. Then we both will be living a lied. In the long run that honesty will be better than to hurt that feeling of betrayal later on. Believe me it was a hard choice but I know I did the right thing even if it hurts and I didn't want to do it.

Wooohoo I got another sponser and it an international one. Thank you pikey for sponsering me. :)

Angel brought me a question about Sexually Open Relationships. For me it really depends. I seen all spectrums for open relationships. It all comes to what you and your partner agree on. And respecting each other. It might work for one couple but not for another. And this is coming experience from friends.

2002-07-27T14:43:00.000-07:00

I found one of my buddy Miyuki who is blogging as well. Now she not all alone!!!

One of my sponser Kathi to tell her more about the bonfire.

Well it was a great turnout. But the fun part was the great eye candy that I got. There was two guys I question that might be gay there. One I got on the first try. Woohoo to me and the other guy is straight but me and this one other person is questioning him about it. And this guy is majorly cute. I am like MAD CRUSHING at him. I need to talk to my friend first and see what she reacts to it. But if you talking for the perfect guy for me. He was it. :) But I respect everyone limits and besides I spent most of my time talking to girls!!! How Ironic!!!

Another friend Mike with another question.

Q: if a good friend asked you to lie for them, would you? suppose that they needed an alibi for his SO because he went out with some other friends instead of spending some time with his SO.
A: It really depends on the situation in my opinion. If your SO has not let yoru good friend gone out to see his friends for two months. Yes I would. That would be a good example. But any other times I would not.

Tips On Surviving In San Francisco as Told By Me:

1) Forget a car. If the high gas prices doesn't scare you. Then be very afraid of the old women who can literally stop traffic.
2) We only have two seasons. Fog and No Fog Season.
3) Being bilingual is a must. So if you never pick up a language other than English. City College offer course for $11/unit if you have live in CA for more than a year.
4) A gay man can be your best friend ladies. *grins* We know how to shop to you drop!
5) If you find street parking on the street, thank God that you acutally found a space.
6) We like to eat. You're not a San Franciscan till you know what Californian, Neuvo Latino, Asian Fusion is.
7) Learn to walk on hills. If an 75 year old woman with two bags can walk up a hill. So can you.
8) You know Willie Brown (Mayor of San Francisco) is like a pimple. We don't want it but he still there.
9) If you own a house in San Francisco. You considered rich. Apartment rule like in New York.
10.) Like the cold. Really like the cold.
