I haven’t been here in awhile; in the physical and metaphorical sense. Not that I haven’t had the time to write, but I haven’t felt compelled to. What’s compelling me now? So many things to talk about. The one thing on my mind is really just appreciation. Taking the time to enjoy life for what…

For the longest time, I wore a yin yang necklace. After I had my surgery at 6 years old, it was given to me and I wore it for close to the next 6 years straight. The symbol of the yin yang always stayed with me. I understood it as balance in the world. There…

For the last week I’ve been on holiday in Peru. It is a beautiful country that has many natural landscapes, historic sites, and delightful food (Alpaca and ceviche being my favorites).  I like to travel more as a local and stay in Airbnb’s rather than luxury hotels. It’s a great way to see the side…

I just finished watching The Minimalists on Netflix. The movie struck a chord. I’ve been slowly getting rid of a lot of my things over the past year. Now I feel that I can put more purpose and deliberation behind that purge. I enjoy having things, but realize that it’s not the things that I…

I’m on a plane flying to San Francisco right now. I’ll be there for two weeks. This trip isn’t vacation, although I’m sure it will be plenty of fun. I accepted an offer as a Sales Engineer at Leanplum!! It’s no secret that mobile phones dominate our lives and time. I’m excited to be more involved…

I find that watching films sparks my compelling nature to write. I just finished watching Bridge of Spies. It can be a bit slow at times but I do recommend it. The reason I mention this movie is that it’s a Tom Hanks film about prisoner negotiation in the Cold War. The movie brings up…

I recently watch the movie “we are your friends” and kinda liked it. It was a flick about a entrepreneurs and how an uninown dj makes it.  The moral that I got which came at the very end, was to make it, you have to be genuine and honest in what it is you’re doing.…
