Busan, Korea

I just came back home after a 5-day hiatus from blogging. The first three were due to a shoot which contents I cannot disclose just yet. But all I can say is, my trip to Busan was very much needed after those long 3 days! I spent the night at the Park Hyatt in Busan … Continue Reading

Lunch at Kitte, Tokyo Station

This past weekend, I met with my mom, her cousin and daughter for lunch at Kitte Marunouchi, which is right next to Tokyo station. It’s a post office turned department store, with lots of shopping and dining that you can only do in Japan. We lunched at a shabu shabu / tonkatsu restaurant called Hirata … Continue Reading

the city that never sleeps

These were one of the first set of photos I took with my new Canon G7X, before I left for my vacation to California a month ago. A month ago… time really does go by quickly. Before you know it, it’s going to be summer again. Can’t wait to explore the city again with new … Continue Reading

A Huntington Beach sunset

With my friend Amy visiting my hometown of Huntington Beach for a couple days, it makes me see the city in a slightly different light. As we were driving along PCH during the sunset yesterday, she remarked, “You are so lucky to have lived in such a beautiful area.” Having lived away from California for … Continue Reading

A quick hello from Okinawa

A quick hello from Okinawa, the southernmost islands of Japan. It’s probably very similar to Hawaii, with beautiful beaches, palm trees and gorgeous weather. I’m here as a representative for Canadian yoga-wear brand Aumnie, selling gear at the Satsang Yoga & Music Festival. So busy, but incredible experience. I’m sorry if I don’t respond to … Continue Reading

a weekend in yokohama

  It’s been almost a year since I last went to Yokohama – I spent a relaxing Saturday with my man at the Red Brick Warehouse and Minato Mirai area.

a day in osaka

These are a few photos from a short trip to Osaka from a few days ago. It was for work, but Lisa and I got to enjoy some beautiful views of the city life there. The river running through Namba is spectacularly beautiful. Thank you so much for all of the birthday wishes – you … Continue Reading

casual day in ginza & tokyo station

  I spent the day with my mom at the newly reformed Tokyo Station, shopping around at Kitte, the department store right across and eating at a Kaiten sushi restaurant there.

California girl

My last few days in Orange County were spent shopping, walking around Main Street in Huntington Beach, and catching up with my friends over good food and drinks. Also, a family dinner at Tokyo Table consisting of American-style sushi. I already miss the summer weather despite it being winter, my family, and my friends. But … Continue Reading
