About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Take over the world / let the world take over me

ABOUT ME

I've lived in a bunch of places but haven't travelled much. Currently teaching English in a small city in Japan. My plan is to take over the world. I am talkative, more so in small groups, as I end up enjoying myself too much just listening. I enjoying talking about metacosmiconsumerism.

Surfed in South Korea for the first time this Oct!
Surfed in Bangkok!
March: Cambodia/Vietnam/Malaysia/Indonesia

I am a logical thinker who experience random intense mindtrips that de/reconstructs my reality. It's this constant back and forth, in and out, here and there that illuminates me and drives me to capture more of the world. But many a times my favourite moments reside in tiny spaces in between ideas, words spoken, and air.

The world is huge but the possibilities of the mind is grander yet. Let the two collide and feed off each other and you have the cosmosphere doing tango.

PHILOSOPHY

Realizing, acknowledging, living every micro-instant because it's all you got. Everything explodes from this one single point in front of your face, cannot be retraced or displaced.

Meta-chasing.

Just sit.
