just a few months back we were celebrating a new decade. amazing to see how just a few months back has brought us to the end of april or one third of this “new year”. hopefully this brings some joy of appreciation on your achievements so far, but for those of us who are never satisfied, i just can’t help but think deeply of what i have done so far. one thing is for sure, it is always better to look at your life from some other’s perspective, as life is never as good as you want it.

swim in a sea of joy, music and energy; like recharging batteries with the colorful vibes of love, friendship and basic human values of respect and trust and all we need in order to be thankful and appreciate. people and the interaction with different kinds of them reflect on each of us like mirrors though, in which we have to learn the little details we didn’t know or understand about the greatness and differences among ourselves.
happy birthday lorraine, theresa, gabriel, and roberto!

today has been a very gloomy and rainy day here in beijing. reminds me of the time i visited napa valley. fortunately every season and environmental condition can be just as beautiful depending on your mindset. even though it wasn’t as sunny and cheerful as it appears on the brouchures, the company and experience still allowed for great times.

i have always wondered about the behavior of homeless people and the menality it takes for these people to sit all day, begging or in better words, waiting for money to fall from the sky. money from other people’s more fortunate lives, from their hard work. personally i have never donated to these who just sit, where on the other hand i support buskers. what do we think of these homeless members of our society? how can we expect these unfortunate members to contribute?

it’s not that i randomly keep remembering the exact date i biked to sausalito but instead saw the date on the photo and all these good vibes and memories came to mind. sharing moments of amazing friendship in an incredible city: just another perfect day. before i came to beijing, i thought of how easy it would be to ride my bike, just as every other person does. then again, i hadn’t realized the intensity of the scale, in land, population, the amount of bike riders, and crazy traffic.

a typical nice afternoon in san francisco. contrary to common belief, san francisco is not always foggy, well, it’s a relatively big city, separated in parts. so i guess you could say that it is pretty foggy on the western coast, but from this perspective in north beach (where all the italian restaurants are established just a little north from china town) we may observe a decently pleasant view of the colorful houses on the steep city hills.

in the heart of the embarcadero plaza, opposite to the ferry building is the weirdest yet interesting fountain. within this cold concrete landscape rise these odd contraptions circulating, sprying and redistributing this mossy ‘clorinated’ water. i had never really thought of the objective of fountains and why it is that we are often amazed and attracted to these. in this case, even with these roughly textured/ odd shaped tubes and rough concrete feeling i still found myelf to smile, and feel the wonder of the sound of water crashing on its body.

trees, colors, textures.. that’s what’s in this “season”. you know what i mean, no? here’s a reminder of the real deal though, winter trees and crazy shade effects in the golden gate park. well, real/ not-so-real.. yeah, it’s in a park, but you know what i mean.
