Success Doesn’t Translate To All Sectors
I was recently contacted by a guy on Fridae that wanted to be friends with me on MSN. I added him onto my alternative MSN account simply because he looked decent in photos. After getting a little acquainted with him, I found out that he is actually an accomplished photographer in Beijing having taken photos [...]
Life Outside of My Apartment
I’ve always wondered if I really was one of those guys who are completely consumed by the internet, apparently I’m not. Now that the days have become warmer in New York, I’m seeing myself outdoors more and utilizing the parks that the city has to offer. On Friday I visited Central Park with Z and [...]
Language
I frequently go to sites like Failbook or Lamebook which exploits many strange and quirky wall posts of today’s young people; one thing I have noticed is that the new generation cannot spell or put together grammatically correct sentences. In addition, what’s more appalling is that the new generation use excessive amount of shorthand in [...]
Risk
If there’s a subject that should be taught in school, it is the lesson of “risk.” We’re conditioned in life to have plan B’s and to minimize risk, however, we’re never taught to trust our hearts and to take risk. All around me I see the benefits of risk and each time I kick myself [...]
Masochism
If there was one thing scary about life it would be the ghosts of the past- whether it be past exes, naughty things we had done or people that we had screwed over. Just why is it that in terms of these ghosts, we are always like deer caught in headlights and never willing to [...]
Coming to Terms
I’ve finally come to understand that I am a person who is simply not capable of loving anyone. In addition to that fact, I’ve also come to realize that I don’t need anyone to enrich my life nor do I have to have that amazing partner. I think that all this time I’ve been blinded [...]
Bar Therapy
Last night I went to a karaoke bar called “Lab” with my friend Wallwall. While it’s not an elaborate bar nor is it really a bar to cruise what Hong Kong has to offer, I had a good time chatting with Wallwall while at the same time staring into space and watching other people happily [...]
Starting Over
When I had found myself not posting much on Xanga (The site where I had blogged prior to this) I felt two types of feeling- a relief that it means that the “depressed” Ekin has left and that a chapter in my life can close. While I’m not sure whether or not I would return to Xanga, I’ve more or less abandoned the site to blog fully onto this site.
What USD$200 Gets You in New York
Piyapong came to New York for a visit and since it’s his first time here he preferred that I had met him at his hotel due to the fact that he was afraid that he’d get lost. I actually didn’t mind because I was extremely curious how his hotel looked like since being that I am a resident of New York, I rarely get the chance to see a New York hotel.
Tap Water- To Drink or Not To Drink
The other day I was drinking the chilled water that I had boiled a few days prior and was surprised to find the water tasting… flavorless and dry. Being that I drank a lot of water in HK (Watson’s green label water is the best by the way), my mouth is starting to be able to detect what’s good tasting water and what’s not. So out of sheer curiosity I took a taste test- water directly from the faucet and water that I prepared. In the end, I concluded the tap water tasted better.
