Just a few months ago..

It's time to say good bye to a long lasted 2012-winter friend.

The temperature started to soar up and didn't have enough time to 

enjoy spring at all..where did Spring go?....

Ever since, a clean/minimal design kicked in USA TODAY,

I have been fan of the media. It's so easy to read and absorb important news

while I am heading to work. 

The past winter, I have captured several news clip while I was reading it,

so that it becomes one of my "record-breaking news library".

2012 winter had recorded so many things in terms of snow, massive wave,

earthquakes, and many other mother nature disaster.

I hope to hear good news this year though!!

May God watches over this land and people.

San Diego Sun

Just-

diggin' through an old album back in 2010,

I realized again how beautiful San Diego summer days are.

I want to lay down on a soft warmed-up sand, and hear

waves crashing onto a shore once again..

enjoy the photos I took 3 years ago! :^)

will visit you soon-*

Dancers Among Us

Hey-

I haven't sketched for a long time...(shame on me)

until I saw the cover of the book below,

called Dancers Among Us.

The book opens up reader's eyes how our life can be filled

with "pure, joyful optimism of all".

I haven't read the book yet, but every page delivers energy from

stunning photographs of dancers leaping, spinning, lifting and kicking

from the place you could have never thought of.

It's fun to see people's reaction around the dancers from the picture.

Their expression is as if they will remember the moment for

the rest of their lives. Every single photo shows how much

the author really enjoyed it, as well as the dancers.

My inspiration came from the cover photo, and just 

interpreted in my own language.. learning how to dance in the rain.

Have a wonderful day.

Flower Garden in prints

a small sticker

Hi!

I saw this small sticker in Seoul subway,

and realized Paralympics is the one that shows the Olympic Spirit the most...

A challenge without knowing how to give up.

Submitting and accepting the reality, but never giving up the hope.

"The Paralympic is also olympic"

Amazing sparkling ice tea.

Last but not least.... 
PASTICHE

It's not all-year round dessert because they

only serve the freshest seasonal fruit.

BukChon Hanok Village - Jongro, Seoul

Today I want to introduce BukChon Hanok Village near An-gook 안국역 station.

If you walk out through exit 3, you'll meet BukCheon Hanok village

and you get to take a one time lesson for Korean traditions at BukCon Traditional Culture Center. 
Please call the center first in order to reserve 1-1 lesson.

Please visit http://bukchon.seoul.go.kr/exp/center1_1.jsp for a detail.

You get to experience in making a kite, embroidery, a tea,

 Korean traditional mulberry paper-Hanji, and even making 
Korean traditional fermented drink, mak-geol-li (막걸리). 
It costs around 10,000won to 30,000won depending on a material.

 Recently, I visited Shim Wha-Sook Hanji studio (심화숙 한지공방)

for a personal visit :)

This is where people learn Hanji lessons from her.

I am surprised how much Koreans consume coffee and how expert they are!

전광수 커피 is one of the franchises that knows how to brew/drip a cup of coffee.

The prices ranges from 5,500won - 8,000 won. They are all professionals.

The owner said she "only" has 5 years of experience.

It comes to an end how much you are passionate and love what you are doing.

It's that important because it shows.
