ny times: symbol of unhealed congo

Lily Wong posted an article on - Aug 5, 2009, 10:21 am
This article makes me cry inside some more. Male rape victims in the disaster zone that is the Congo are increasing. And honestly, as hard as it is for women to admit being raped, it's just as hard and probably harder for men to admit it and recover from it. If you read the stories in the article al...

Words are never sufficient and though I'm not a crazy talented artist, this kind of stuff suffices as an outlet.

ny times op-ed: "documenting brutalities to change the world"

Lily Wong posted an article on - Jul 26, 2009, 12:16 pm
"I am ... eager for us to create a better world together. When we truly listen to the communities we wish to serve, we absorb their pain and invigorate our search for justice and solutions.

holy jellyfish.

Lily Wong posted an article on - Jul 22, 2009, 11:34 am
I just saw this picture as I was scrolling through CNN's international news with its accompanying article. This is absolutely crazy! If the whole crisis wasn't so devastating to the coastal villages in Japan it would be funny. But it's not funny :( The jellyfish destroy fisherman's nets and then r...

follow-up. (labels).

Lily Wong posted an article on - Jul 12, 2009, 11:40 pm
So having had some more days to reflect on Invisible Monsters and digest it some more, I feel a bit of a need to digree more on why the book was so powerful and how I managed to relate to it despite its most assuredly insane characters. Who, naturally, are simultaneously, in many regards sane. But t...

invisible monsters.

Lily Wong posted an article on - Jul 8, 2009, 11:20 am
I just finished an amazing book Invisible Monsters by Chuck Palahniuk who also wrote Fight Club and I must say I now understand why the friend who recommended it to me said that he needed to recover from it. It's intense and raw in a way you just have to read to understand. It's certainly not a st...

wake up: dawen wang

Lily Wong posted an article on - Jul 4, 2009, 4:26 pm
I saw this video over at another blog i follow and having now listened to it more times than I'm willing to admit, I will memorialize it (sort of) here. Because this is one of those songs where when I'm done listening, in my head (and admittedly sometimes out loud), I'm saying yes, this is my story ...

frazz.

Lily Wong posted an article on - Jun 24, 2009, 11:14 pm
Frazz is pretty much my favorite comic strip, replacing even FoxTrot, my childhood favorite. If you haven't heard of it, it's witty, funny (yes, those are two different things) and just overall worth a whole lotta good laughs. Today's was especially great (and I'm really glad that the politician i...

learning chinese

Lily Wong posted an article on - Jun 19, 2009, 6:10 pm
Now that I finally have a break from Monday to Friday Chinese classes, I've been wondering more and more about why it is I'm even learning Chinese, especially considering how much time it takes up. It's a question that often gets brought up in class as a way to practice grammer structures so I have ...
