My San Francisco

it's a slow city,
where people really take their time...

it's a fun city,
the city itself is a giant roller coaster.

it's a spontaneous city,
things just happen without any plans.

it's a warm city,
I always end up chatting up strangers on the street, and I don't normally talk.

it's a cold city,
fucking freezing in mid-August I had to buy a pair of uggs.

it's a foodie's city,
great food=happiness.

it's a beautiful city,
the colors of cute houses and the mist in the air....

it's a hippies' city,
there's a "burning man" section in thrift shop.

it's a liberal city,
you can find friends of any combinations.

Thank you San Francisco,
we had so much FUN!!

it's a magic city....

Writing down thoughts....
if only it(my hand) can catch up with my thoughts(my brain).
it's not suppose to.
that's why they are hands,
writing down words, sentences...
much slower than brain-waves.
damn.

space travel

haven't been traveling across continent in couple years,
this is exactly what I needed, to get away from New York.
I flew through space and time, take in the feeling with every breath.
so new yet so familiar, seems the same but somewhat different.
so this is what it like to be back at home....or.....is it home?

being back to this magical island of Taiwan is always a trip.
it's different every time.
this time, I felt the amazing warm energy of the mountains.
it was out of this world- beautiful!
well, maybe the acid helped a little.
being in the mountains with sweet native Taiwanese people helps too,
they are warm and open and they love their land, they love to party and make sure everyone is safe and have a blast, awesome hosts!
Thank you 復興鄉!I'll be back someday!

大師又一個







I'm so damn lucky.


繼Stephane Marais之後,我又莫名其妙的當上了Mark Carrasquillo的第一助理....
Mark所屬的經紀公司Art+Commerce是旗下有Steven Meisel等經典傳奇人物的夢幻公司.
跟他合作的人也幾乎都是像Fabien Baron, Karl Templer...這些power people.
國際化的production,跟top artists & models一起工作....
忽然之間變成了我每天工作的環境,
害我就算很操也不好意思喊累,
這不就是我丟掉舒適的生活隻身飛到紐約的目的嗎?
是我自找的,也沒想到真被我找到了.

Mark是個很妙的人,somber, cynical, free minded and very artistic.
這些特質其實跟我有點像....I look forward to know him more....
He's very sophisticated and gentleman, 箱子不用我提還幫我開車門,我可是他助理耶...
最重要的是他的great skills and impeccable taste.
I have a feeling I'll learn sooooo much from him.

woo boy I'm so excited.
it's going to be interesting....

偶像劇啊

是真的當了家庭主婦吧
開始愛看偶像劇....
劇情越瞎越愛看
覺得那些編劇可以編出粉紅色泡泡真厲害
現在的年紀
充分了解浪漫情節不切實際,有錢有才華又專情的帥哥不存在
是得看清這一點,才有可能抱著少女情懷看戲的啊
是重返青春期
當個老少女也不賴....

Classic Nivea Creme

Everyone loves a good classic.

Nivea 一直是家喻戶曉的品牌
其中又以Nivea Creme最為經典
research之後發現他的歷史還真悠久
有興趣的人可以看一下
http://www.nivea.com/history

可能小時候媽媽有在用吧
它的香味帶給我熟悉的安全感
進而莫名其妙的信任它
但這東西能歷經歷史的考驗不是沒有原因的
它真的是好用又萬用
而且便宜的要死

Here are some advice on how I use Nivea creme~
  • Hair Cream- sometimes i just need something for my dry ends without hold, it moisturizes the hair and leaves a matte finish! my favorite hair product so far, and it doubles as a fabulous hand cream!
  • Makeup remover-dab a little with Q-tips and erase your makeup mistakes, or smooth all over the face and massage to remove full make-up, gently wipe off and follow with face wash.
  • Lip Mask- apply a thick layer to lips and cover with plastic wrap, leave it on and hop into the shower.
  • Super moisturizing Mask- it's a great base for mixing your own masks, add honey, essential oil...etc.
  • and of course it's great to apply on any dry skin like it's invented to do, just find out in can also heal minor injuries, pretty awesome huh?
經濟不景氣,試試好用的便宜貨吧大家~

Nivea people, please contact me about compensation.

Dark eh?

it's just the other side of the happy-joy-commercial scene
it's real and it exist
all over the world
people do suffer
recession or not
it's just life.

but of course, if you live in a time between WWI and WWII like them
your life sucks more.
