		<description><![CDATA[As I review the large number of dating/bride-services advertisers that continue to target this site, I can't help but think that this growing list of advertisers is only indicative of the overall growth in Yellow Fever amongst Americans. Everyone is going after Asian women these days. As an Asian male, sure, I noticed a disparaging amount of white guys that date Asian girls.

But I never actually took the time to think about which way causality was for this phenomenon. Is it that white guys like to pursue Asian girls? Or is it Asian girls that like to pursue white guys. Obviously with the coining of Yellow Fever as a commonly accepted phrase to describe the former, I actually think we should revisit this assumption.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Once again, I had another personal ailment cured by some crazy Chinese remedy.

Every year, I develop a nasty cough in the Winter months. Last year, my cough was so bad that I couldn't even sleep without coughing my lungs out and waking up throughout the night. While hesitant to run home and tell mommy where it hurts, like most inquisitive mothers, my mom found out about my chronic cough soon enough.

Naturally, my mom gave me the most ridiculous cough syrup for me to try.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, so it's been a very very long while. Lot's of bloggers go through it. As a matter of fact, the hardest part of blogging is probably to consistently blog. But the creative spirit and urge to write is back in me and I feel the holy blogger spirit flowing through my fingers.

I've been extremely busy these days with my professional life. But to show you all that I'm back and that I mean it, I've grabbed this spiffy new design over from Wordpress.

So be ready for frequent unadulterated banter from your favorite Asian blogger.]]></description>
