Music, Movies, and Books

Anything that touches me. Funk/Soul is dear to my heart as you can see in my profile photo. Hiphop, dance (very recently), ethnic (K-pop sometimes, Salsa). As for movies, I like anything I can laugh hard or documentaries of sort. Books- I was immersed in science books when I was younger but after I turned my back from it, lots of self-help, business related books, some novels (I want to read more novels, but a lot of them don't make sense), philosophies etc. I need more reflection to write about which authors i admire.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

being and doing nothing. very rare peace in my life now. so I appreciate when it comes.

Buddhist pilgrimage for a week in Shikoku, Japan through shinkansen free riding (shhhh) and my own couch surfing, sleeping in stations and doing work to get paid and fed. My life is divided as pre-pilgrimage and post-pilgrimage. I was a little scared girl before then, after that, I realized I could survive in any situation. And I got to value friendships who kept me through dark walks alone along the ocean path. since then, I have been enjoying travelling alone occasionally.
