Adressing a few things (Rants included).

1) Seems like Cycnus is going to be updated not frequently. My rank dropped and national exams are coming this April. And my laptop is left at my friend's house, so I'm doomed with the old computer. Hiatus. I can only come by because it's flood today and Kelapa Gading reached 60 cm. MOI reached 75 cm.

2) The other pet peeve that I get is when some authors said, "He has Asian features." I'm sorry, which Asia are you referring to?

East Asia includes North and South Korea, Japan, and Mongolia.
Southeast Asia includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Phillipines, and Timor Leste.
West Asia refers to, according to UN subregion, are Armenia, Azerbajian, Bahrain, Cyprus, Egypt (Sinai Peninsula), Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Turkey, UAE, and Yemen.
South Asia includes Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Pakistan, and Srilanka.
Central Asia includes Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenkistan, Uzbekistan.

So many authors forget that Asia includes people of different ethnics. Call me racist all you want, but so many people are stereotyping evey single Asian as some chinky eyed kid who study 24/7.

LOL at the stereotype which I think is really true HAHA but, goodluck for your exams! :) And I just heard the same thing that you said, about kelapa gading being flooded and all, I hope the flood decreases soon so that you all can resume to your activities without difficulties :)

You're cracking me up! And I hope I didn't do that, I don't think I did. My Mother in law does that and it drives me crazy. Though we have the'H' word & the L word. Hispanic and Latino. That's supposed to encompass every person has roots South of the U.S. and Spain. But people get all in an uproar when called that. I really don't care. I was born in the U.S. as my Aunt used to say I'm American.
