Thanks again to everyone who took the survey! The reason it probably felt too Americanized was because it was set up by a company with the primary purpose of being a tool for advertisers. So even though some of the questions were a bit odd to me, I suppose a potential advertiser could look at the patterns of media consumption, or car preferences, or age range, etc. on a particular blog to decide which ones to patronize. This blog, for instance, has GOT to be the jackpot for anyone wanting to reach a young Asian female audience. (Man, why does that phrase seem skeezy? Damn those porn/massage/dating-fetish sites.) That's got to be a sought-after demographic, right?

"No, not even you, binge-fast-food-eater-with-amazing-metabolism guy." --> i thought we've established the fact that we're ALL ladies here? ;) OK just one other male from Hong Kong I take it... :D

I used to be very good at typewriting, then I saw the wonder of electric typewriter. Woaaah, I used to say huh I can type faster with this now! Because I was so used to using a typewriter, on my early computer days, I used to hit the keyboard so hard, everyone in the lab used to look at me funny. I couldn't help it. I typed fast and hard. Then I slowly learn how to type softer.

I wonder if a "book" will ever be a "thing that used to be there but now long forgotten" a few years from now?

I agree with djes that your survey is too Americanised. Some of the questions aren't related whatsoever to me.

Just want to give a report on my beauty sleep: the whole of last week I've been sleeping from 9pm to 7am. I went to bed with the babies and get up when they wake up. Sweet! Now I feel detoxicated, rehydrated and refreshed.

the drawings are ok, but nothing special in my mind. it seems like she could be a children's book illustrator. its nice to see actresses branching out from their regular careers.

So did anyone catch the 2007 Golden Disk Awards live? Somehow Korean award shows seem more interesting than American ones....and it's not like I understand them very well!

And if anyone's curious, SG WANNABE WON THE DAESANG. Yay. :)

i was kind of surprised that there were more 20-34 year olds than teenagers...i dunno but i always figured teenage girls liked dramas..not that i would know where i live. i'm 15 and no one around me (except for my korean friend) watches dramas.

Hi! I'm from Hong Kong and came over to Vancouver when I was 5. I have a feeling it's just that some guys didn't take the survey. But wow should i be proud to be one of that 5%? HAHA

Javabeans, your survey questions are unique. The results made me laugh in a good way. I'm an all-nighter myself and had experienced back pains. I'm only under 20 and I think that's not good. Wait, let me re-phrase that, It's really not good. It's a combination of bad posture and a cry that my body needs to do some exercise. Aigoo. And yes #12 Linda, finals "really" sucks. Please let me get an A.
