Weblogs

-The feeds of my own blogs due to some very silly reasoning. Of course I know when I update, but I would want that someone using my computer to easily find my sites if I needed them to do something important.

-An assortment of personal sites and blogs arranged in whatever order I happen to decide on (usually varies between age, geography, or rate of updating).

News

-BBC International Edition: I love that they seem to present subjects that local media doesn't focus on.

-Blogging Baby: Parenting-related news. Random yes, but I find the ones that relate to teenage issues to be typical issues that we would care about.

-CNN World News: More specifically the Asian news section, I depend more on local offline sources of US news anyways.

-Japan Times Online: I particularly enjoy their articles on either daily life, or ones that contain recent statistics and opinion polls.

-People's Daily Online: The English edition to a particularly political Chinese newspaper. Presents an interesting view and great editorial reads.

-Shanghai Daily: The English paper in Shanghai with a focus on subjects very local to that city.

Entertainment Blogs

-Kaiju Shakedown: Variety's Asian movie blog detailing the status and happenings with upcoming movies from Asia.

-Hikki Texts: Translations of Utada Hikaru's Japanese blog.

-JPop News: Simply details and tracklistings for upcoming Japanese album and single releases.

-Chinese Music Blog: Music reviews.

-Hot Celebrity Photos: Guilty pleasure. Actually I'm mostly just curious as to who is considered hot these days. Contains a good mix of Western, Asian celebrities as well as some fictional characters.

-New Game Plus: Gaming blog focusing on issues and developments relating to female gamers.

Vox Newbie

I've already fallen in love with the books, photos, and audio functions. Not to mention the interface is so much more visually appealing than what I am used to. I was honestly expecting a long line to get a chance to check it out, but Chantelle was generous enough to send me an invite (Thanks!) And thus, my wait was thankfully cut short.

So that explains how I got here and so that only leaves me with where I'm going with this...

Memoirs is already where I discuss what is happening in my life and I don't really plan to expand on that. Live-journal is amazing for communities and staying in touch, but I dislike trying to dive into my more private and thoughts in such an impromptu manner. One is a bit too structured and the other too abstract, so I want this endeavor to be what falls in between the two.

About this Weblog

Shangri-La

我的心中的日月 is Chinese for The Sun and Moon of My Heart. The title was inspired by Wong Lee Hom's song Shangri-La, or 心中的日月. Although "Shangri-La" is meant to describe a paradise/utopia, I usurped the Chinese title's more literal translation to better suit what I plan to pursue with the weblog.

Caros is a nickname of Caroline used only by my close personal friends. It is special to me not only because of that, but also because my name comes with so few available offshoots. Entries, for now, are public, but photographs, books, and other features are available only to those listed as friends.
