In 1996, I put together a personal website with my story of coming out, being gay and falling in love. It was really an effort to present a gay asian man’s perspective at a time when there weren’t very many gay asian personal websites.
I took the site down except for the landing page over a year ago ’cause I felt it had lost its relevance.
I recently met someone who asked me what happened to the rest of the pages. He had read the site many years ago and wanted to revisit some of the things I wrote but couldn’t find any of the old content. That made me dig up my old site and in doing so I reread the guestbook.
Funny that I actually forgot how many people visited and left a word or two about what they felt after reading what I had posted.
Here’s an update of my personal website for old times sake.

thank you for visiting gal! …. i realised from the guestbook entries that many of the visitors were gals
guess us queer folk have always been a quirky point of interest for women folk huh

actually was thinking of that …. but the geocities address is part of the history
if u ever remember geocities … setting up a website was so fun!
u surfed on in … looked through a town map based on interests … and picked a house number. you could see who ur neighbours were and their interests etc ….
so i choose WestHollywood where other gay and lesbian people from the world were and picked house number 8387!! i think i was next to a lesbian and another gay guy both from the states!
shaoann got an address “near” by too although the gals completely forgotten her geocities address

yeah … funnny huh .. blast from the past. when i signed up … it was like a little town map with houses numbers you could pick.
geocities was bought over by yahoo! to be packaged as an offering.
when you sign up for a yahoo mail account you get a photos, briefcase and geocities account all bundled
I TOT GEOCITIES WAS OBSOLETE ALREADY!

In my opinion, the website is great. =)
