To my friends and readers from the Philippines,
I am deeply saddened and distressed to learn of Typhoon Fengshen, and of the resulting loss of lives.
It is also true that many are waiting for word of the lost. My dearest wish is that your loved ones will be found alive.
I convey my deepest condolences to the families who have suffered deaths of their loved ones.
There are no correct words for this.
You mean so much to me. My comments here are not hollow. I grieve with you, not only for lives lost, but also, for all the pieces of your lives you may have lost.

A Message From A. Ho - Hong Kong
Thank you very much for posting a blog entry on the China quake and thinking of the quake victims.
Tens of thousands of people lost their lives in the 7.9-magnitude quake in Sichuan, China. The death toll is rocketing.
Just weeks ago, Myanmar, China’s neighouring country, was hit by a cyclone and a large number of survivors are desperate for relief aid.
In Hong Kong, people from all walks of life have pitched in to help the quake victims in Sichuan. Large amount of donations comes from business tycoons while other people do whatever they can to show their support to their countrymen.
May I appeal to the readers of this blog to lend a helping hand to those who were struck by the natural disasters? Keep the victims and the rescue workers in your prayer. Send donations to the charitable organizations which are organizing relief aid to China and Myanmar.
There is an old Chinese saying that goes like this, “Giving is happier than receiving”.

Lydia Shum
I am saddened to learn of the death of Hong Kong actress Lydia Shum, on February 19, 2008.
She was an immortal in my mind; a woman whose screen presence never failed to make me laugh.
I discovered her in the earliest days of my Asian film adventure.
A nice remembrance piece is posted at Sensasian's web site which includes her impressively extensive filmography.
This direct link will take you to the rememberance piece in the event the item is no longer on the homepage.
She will be missed.
