Obligatory Sentimental End-of-Year Post

It was the best of times; it was the worst of times.....

Ok, to be honest, I don't get very sentimental about the end of the year. The thing I get most excited about is that businesses finally are done with holiday hours, so I can know that someone will actually answer the phone when I call! I do appreciate the sentiments that people share, though, and I do wish each of you a Happy New Year, but just as I wish you the best for each day. And, to accommodate those in a festive spirit, I give you some beautiful men to admire (some of my personal favorites!).

Merry Christmas!

Today I join the mass exodus of bloggers abandoning their posts (sorry, I couldn't resist) for the holidays. Shortly, I will be leaving to drive 7 hours to visit my parents for a few days. And, since they live in the most boring place on earth, it is unlikely that I will be able to post during my visit. So, I wish all my Christmas-celebrating friends a merry one, and for everyone else, insert generic winter holiday greeting here.

I did not want to leave, however, without sharing a present with you all. So, take a look on this newly-redesigned blog and scroll down the right-hand column. There, just below the "Essential Reading" section, you will see my latest addition to the blog, titled "The Internet's Most Comprehensive Asian Male Links Compilation." This list includes 11 sections with over 165 different links to sites with pictures of Asian men. What I have shared with you here is the result of several years of scouring the internet, and it is my gift to share it with you. Of course, now not only will you not miss my posts over the next week, but once you start looking through that link list, you probably won't even notice that I'm gone!

Enjoy! If you happen to appreciate this resource, you can thank me by passing along new links when you find them (e-mail is ). I will do my best to keep the list updated, accurate, and growing.

If I am unable to post again before the New Year, I wish all the best in 2007. Make it your New Year's resolution to stop by O.Y.G.A. for a visit each day in the months to come!

Patience, Please

If you notice any problems with my blog in the upcoming days, please don't panic. Over the holidays, I am going to be implementing a major blog re-design that I have been working on for several months. Since I am self-taught in HTML and CSS, my professor is not always helpful when I run into problems. So, if things don't look quite right at times, be patient, and I assure you the final product will be something that will be quite nice (either that, or I will just trash the idea and go back to the old design).

Shadows (Holiday Mode*)

Please note: As I mentioned previously, Once You Go Asian is in holiday mode until the end of the year. This simply means that, in order to cut back significantly on my blogging time so that I may accomplish many things that need to be completed by year's end, but still wishing to put forth regular offerings of hot guys, the majority of posts from now to January will not include my normal witty banter. Instead, I will simply post pictures centered around a general (most likely boring) theme. Today's theme, of course, is "Shadows."
