i just read this fun msn article and it reminded me of a pizza hut chain in seoul where they had kimchi as a topping. of course, i had to try it. it was just okay. didn’t taste that good combined with the cheese to be honest with you. or non-food related, when i was in paris, their ikea had some cool funky items not even on the website. my POINT IS….it’s OK to go to familiar food chains/chain stores in other countries because it will still be a cultural experience! i know there’s the mentality that when visiting other countries, trying “local” food is important. but think about it, chains are catered to their locale!

for example, starbucks in tokyo seem to have more tea varities than ever found in the states. or this cool coffee jelly drink that reminds me of boba/bubble tea. i’m totally trying that soon. sweet <3

oh – that foodspotting website is cool! lots of stuff to look at and ponder about. many food adventures ahead for me!

if you know me, you know i love 30 rock.
i think it is a well-written, funny, and thoughtful comedy.
yeah! this isn’t a new episode but it’s a good one (japanese body pillow joke is a major plus!).
i like almost every single episode….haha. fangirl? hehe – anyway, below is the episode “klaus and greta.”

finally! my little domain….
more to tweak but that’s the fun part, right? ^^

here, you will likely find a plethora of packaging design, print, pattern, graphic design, and all around art and music inspired details. they say i have an artistic temperament and i am happy to share it.

my belief is that even the most humble or seemingly puny gifts can be made extra special with the right thought and packaging.

along with all the above, i will try my best to give insight to who i am too~yay.
