CURRENT MISSION

Seeing all of the couches of the world!

ABOUT ME

HEY! Are you reading this? So am I. Now that I got your attention, I'll talk about myself. I love to eat, cook, and do crafts. I also loveeee upcycling so if you have something that's broken and unusable, I'll grab some glue and string to make something new. Seriously, if you put me in a room full of yarn, I'll never get bored. I also like to grow herbs and study medicinal properties of plants.

I also like writing rhyming poems for AIM away messages but ever since they upgraded, they took that away :(.

PHILOSOPHY

Bullshit: something you don't wanna hear nor something you want to step on.

Learn to live with what you have.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed up a very steep Buddhist temple in Korea when I returned at 2009. It was really tough for me at the time since I was really out of shape. When I got to the top, the view was amazing. I don't remember the last time I saw so much green.

Teach, Learn, Share

Bring plastic bags, they are indispensable. You can put dirty clothes, wet items etc. in them worry-free. Please reuse them for the sake of being green :).
