This is my last post before I move on from my Japan travel nostalgia (and straignt onto the upcoming J-Pop Summit Festival that's coming up soon). I started with a long overview, marveled at Japan fashion, and shared my favorite shopping spots. By now, it's really...
I love traveling even though I don't get to do it often, especially going overseas to other countries. When you travel less with a mindset of a tourist and more with a mindset of an explorer, the experience simply opens you. It makes you invigorated and inspired, ready to see things both expected and surprising. Before March, 4 years has passed since my last overseas trip. After my March 2013 Japan trip, I pray that I will get to travel more often. You really miss out a great deal when you don't travel and experience things. Trust me.
Amongst all countries in the world, I love Japan. Perhaps not as a country I choose to live in, but a country whose way of life, culture, and technology I admire so much. Before our March 2013 Japan trip, it had been 7 years since I first visited Japan. It was only 5 days, but since then I was patiently waiting for a chance to visit that amazing country, this time with the love of my life (you know who). As always, but maybe more so this time, he took gorgeous pictures that I am very excited to share with you.
My April this year has been really tough on me. Just as soon as we finished immersing in our dream paradise of Japan (those travel posts are coming, I promise), Chris and I had been cumulatively drowning in illness, foot injury, apartment woes, and iMac hard drive...
W has just celebrated 40 years of style (dubbed "W - The First 40 Years"), so I'm following suit with my own 5 years worth of personal styles. Just kidding :) As we're approaching the end of 2012 (my gosh, it's so fast!), I'm rounding up my fall and holiday gifts...
This post is a reflection that summarizes all the different things we experienced over the August 25 - 26 weekend. The J-Pop Summit Festival 2012 felt lighter, cheerful than last year's grounded atmosphere. However, it was clear that last year's earthquake and...
This is the 3rd annual occurrence of "My April" note. This year, I'm not going to say much because I believe the message I've been contemplating for the past few months is very clear: to not be a coward and not to underestimate yourself. As we grow older, it's...
I guess the title When Time Matters sounds so obviously “d’uh!” in a lot of people’s mind. In our short life, time always matters. But even though the fact is so easily acknowledged, often the seriousness of the subject seems lost when we try to be aware of it in...
It was Friday night and a house party was held for a good friend of ours that were leaving SF Bay Area for good to be with his sweetheart. My lovely boyfriend Christian Hadidjaja thought about having a photo session at the apartment when the opportunity presented...
