About Me

CURRENT MISSION

exploring local places and spaces

ABOUT ME

I think living can be best described as a constant process of becoming (not to sound fancy), so the best answer to the question "all about me" is "all about me" - the PROCESS. where i am going and what i am doing. Most of the time, i am doing too much... Trying to create special moments with others and alone, making my life a bit into a work of art (not too abstract one:), minimizing the interference from most "duties" (that i still need to practice!). i cannot escape from the dirty dishes, but i can try to limit my own activities. Good company is important, and sometimes being alone is important, too.

PHILOSOPHY

Being in the world. less philosophy and more of just being alive.
