Happiness
My dear Beard,
Today I’m celebrating my 50th visited country – Norway. It’s recently reported the happiest place on earth.
In this moment
My dear Beard,
In this moment, I am sitting here in my little back yard, having coffee and planning what to do next for my work, aka my future. Consider the fact that I am now working so hard on 3 different projects, which I love so much but none of them has ever pay pack any little penny. They are all in their start-up phase, and I have to work even harder on some commercial writings and other stuffs to make my living.
Here’s to 2017 and the fools who dream
My dear Beard,
What a great start to the new year: my shoes got broken and I had to walk on my barefoot at noon. My friends said I look like Cinderella at 12:00 when everything turns to pumpkin and those creepy dog and cat

It’s okay to fail
My dear Beard,
Yesterday Keneice from Jamaica and I trekked up to Cerro Ancon in Panama city. We were about 2/3 the trail then we felt tired (because of being lost, the f*cking heat, the tropical heavy rain, some people we met on the way said the mountain is closed, etc).

I love you

A deep thought
My dear Beard,
Today I spent hours in my office to read all the essays of the K-12 students for our exhibit Growing Up Asian in America. And this piece made me so surprised and think a lot. It was written by a Chinese little boy who’s just 10 years old, about his grandpa’s journey to the USA long time ago, to make “a better life”.
The big year: 10 things i realized when I reached this age
My dear Beard,
I turned 30 last week. For some reasons, it was surprisingly different than any age before. I celebrated it at home with family for the first time since I moved out 15 years ago.

It was like my 18th birthday party, sweet and pure.
