2011 Year in review

I see many friends uploading their “Year in Review” posts and I’m finally sitting down to write it myself. Looking back, 2011 was a busy year for me. I am not sure if it’s neccesarily a bad thing though. I’m just re-reading my posts from this year and reflecting. Here are some of the big moments [...]

My thoughts on Foursquare

If you are not aware of Foursquare, it’s a social networking website where you can “check in” at various locations(shops, restaurants, banks, and any other businesses)using your mobile devices. It’s been around since 2009, and according to Wikipedia, it has 10 million users worldwide. Despide all the concerns for danger (“Why would you want to [...]

I met Amber last month at Social Media Camp.  I’ve written about my experience at SMCV11 here, but there was definitely something about her that I really liked. When [...]

Japan – Part 1 of 2

I just got back from my two weeks trip to Japan. I told this story to many of you, but originally this trip was planned for March. My older son’s Japanese class was going to Japan as school trip, and I decided to tag along with my younger son to visit the family and friends. [...]

Show Up for Your Friend

Currently I’m on an Air Canada flight to Tokyo. I tried to go to sleep but it is not working. Recently I have read Gretchen Rubin’s “The Happiness Project” – every month for one year she works on various topics on becoming happier.

Uncanny Timing

Last couple of days have been tough for me. More than two friends have told me (separately) about their hardships in life, which made my heart sink. I had my own disappointments-very minor compared to my friends’, but still-that made me think about my relationships with people around me. And yesterday. Yesterday I was in [...]
