Found a neat new service from Google called In Quotes. You can use this service to compare quotes from Obama, McCain, and other U.S politicians about the issues you care about! Imagine the possibilities when they open this service to quotes from other public figures?!!!
Here's the link: http://labs.google.com/inquotes/
Here's what Obama and McCain have to say about some issues:
Bush
-------
Obama: "The plan that has been submitted to Congress by the Bush administration is flawed, but the effort to protect the American economy must not fail," they said.
McCain: "It has become clear that no consensus has developed to support the [Bush
Administration's $700 billion bailout] proposal. I do not believe that
the plan on the table will pass as it currently stands, and we are
running out of time," McCain said.
Women
----------
Obama: "The working men and women I meet every day are working harder for less," Obama said.
McCain: McCain said, "I don't believe that this would do anything to help the rights of women except maybe help trial lawyers and others in that profession."
Beer
--------
Obama: "Where does the story come from that......I don't like beer? ......C'mon, man," Obama said.
McCain: A letter to this newspaper a few weeks ago (8-08-08) derided John
McCain, saying, "I don't put much stock in a flyboy who dumps his first
wife after her terrible car accident so that he can marry a wealthy
young beer heiress."
Have fun!

Well it's now a few days after April Fool's so it's only right for me to come clean and admit to everyone that my last blog was an April Fool's joke. For those of you who took my blog seriously and offered me encouragement, I would like to thank you for accepting me even under such extreme circumstances. But as far as I know, I am not leaving H.K to change gender, so let's put this to rest.
The photos of me in drag are from Halloween a couple years ago. I decided to dress up because I was invited to a formal Halloween party. The photos were taken after the formal party when I met up with friends. I got Greg from House of Siren to dress me up that night. He is an amazing stylist and he did such a great job that night, some of my friends didn't recognize me until I told them who I was!
I really enjoyed reading everyone's April Fool's blogs. Some of the blogs were very creative! Really got me thinking! It's fun to see so many people on the site go off and make their 4/1 jokes!
So that's it for now! Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

Yesterday I went to the Dai Po Secondary School and City University to show the PAG short film on privacy rights and conduct discussions with students on this subject. It was a little hectic to conduct 2 talks on the same day, but we were able to get some very good feedback from the students. It is really rewarding for me to see students express their views on the privacy rights after they watch the film. It shows me that at least I got them to think about the subject for themselves and that's really all I am setting out to do.
I will try to conduct a few more talks at different schools in the next couple months!
