What I've learned in the past decade....

-Karma.

-Quantum physics.

-imperfections are poetic.

-tongue piercing doesn't last more than a decade.

-there's really no point getting 7 piercings on your ears, just more holes to fill.

-don't blame peer pressure, you are responsible for all your stupid choices.

-if you must have cats, 2 is better than 1.

-yoga, still changing my life everyday.

that's all I can come up with...

very important lessons...

老牌髮型師

地點:Milk Studios Penthouse

第一次遇見Christiaan.

一個上了年紀的髮型師

穿著白T白牛仔褲綠色球鞋

橄欖綠羊毛帽上有一塊被漂白的痕跡

撇開穿著不看

就是個老人

他慢慢的拉著一卡行李走進來

身邊沒有任何助理

點了一跟煙（紐約室內是禁煙的）

慢慢地打開箱子拿工具

沒有滿桌的產品display

也沒有由大至小排列整齊的電棒家族

吹風機 是迷你折疊旅行用的....

他走向我

仔細地抓起我一束頭髮

梳開...再拉起來...再梳開

我不知道他在幹麻

但連我的頭髮都感覺到這不是普通的手

當他在工作的時候

很難不一直盯著他看

我想我從沒看過這麼仔細在分區噴產品的

噴～等產品降落在髮片上

研究一下產品的分布狀況

再噴～再等產品降落在髮片上

似乎是要確保每一根頭髮都沾到等量的產品

我老闆Mark問我知不知道他是誰

我說在雜誌上看過他的名字但從沒遇過他

Mark說在他剛入行的時候Christiaan就已經是超厲害的髮型師了

基本上undercut是他發明的

媽呀

腿軟了一下

I'm inspired and touched.

這麼多年的經驗

帶來的不是無謂的排場

而是始終如一對這份工作的熱愛與認真的工作態度

I LOVE my job!!

I'm a make-up artist.

got into assisting after working freelance for some time.

we are not just selling our skills,

there are so much more attachment to it,

the job description is beyond.

the more I realize about how challenging it can be,

I find myself more attracted to it.

Assisting is so different with being key artist,

easier, I would say....well, mentally, at least.

I'm perfectly happy with where I am now.

being around talented people, learning new things everyday!

是要感謝老天還是我爺爺奶奶有保佑

讓我可以在我喜歡的地方生活

做我喜歡做的事

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....
