Sushi and Cherry Blossoms
Today was a day of sushi and cherry blossoms. The flowers are a’blooming and the birds are a’chirping because spring is a’coming people. The cherry blossoms are nature’s way of saying, ‘hey guys, everything will be okay’. Cherry blossoms are like the training wheels of nature, they make us feel safe and sound before we […]

Getting my creativity back
It’s amazing what more time and perspective can do for your creative brain! Now that I’m a jobless housewife (temporarily), I have so much spare time for drawings, filming things and concocting ideas (that will never amount to anything) in my brain!

Korean Cafe Vibes ft. eating an $8 Tart in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea
The cafe I went to today was called Urban Rabbit, located in Gangnam nearest to exit 11 on line 2 or Sinnonhyeon exit 5 on line 9. The tart wasn’t overly tasty but I was in a dessert mood. The tart cost 8,000 won (what the actual heck) and it was 90% whipped cream. The […]

What’s going on at the Seoul Hall of Urbanism and Architecture
Today, I wandered around Gwangwhamun, the cultural hub of Seoul, with a camera in hand and no particular plan. I stumbled across this ‘interactive balloon surface’ at the Seoul Hall of Urbanism and Architecture. The space was not overly conducive for interactive, fun play (in my design opinion). Oh, that’s right, I have a real-life […]
