I apologize in advance if this sounds like a shameless and self-serving plug, but I need to share with you this little bit of information which obviously is yet another reason I should be smiling more often. 

Even if Rising Sun has been in existence since March 29, 2007, I submitted my blog to Rice Bowl Journals (RBJ), an Asian online journal community, only last September 6.

As of today, RBJ ranks Rising Sun the second most popular blog in Asia in terms of clicks. I think there is reason for me to celebrate, considering that it has only been less than a month since my blog was listed there.

Please find below the screenshot of the webpage upon clicking “Top 300” in RBJ’s navigation bar.

I should be happy, right? Thank you for reading.
