Moving to a Different Blog!
This is going to be the last post for this website!
The last few months have been an amazing experience for me, and I’ve been able to grow tremendously since then. I have a new found passion as well as purpose, and so I’m changing my blog to represent the change I’ve made!
It’s interesting how thinks [...]
The Meaning of Getting Back on Track
Last night as I was washing the dishes, I made a decision that instantly left me energized and gave me a huge sense of relief at the same time: I decided to cancel my plans on Saturday, and instead see my girlfriend Mami’s live performance.
Woah! But isn’t that obvious? Is what you might have been [...]
The Stuff My Parents Taught Me
I think that knowledge is finally sinking in, but by bit, lol.
Estimating the time needed to get projects or tasks done, and roughly planning out a day based on those calculations. My Dad told me to do that I don’t know how many times in the past, lol.
It never really worked for me, so [...]
Level 1: Blue Ocean Strategy
Last week, I attended a 4-day seminar called The Breakthrough Technology Course, which is hosted by a company called Landmark Education. In the rest of the world, the seminar is called The Landmark Forum, in case that rings any bells. I want to share more about that in-depth, but for now, I’ll say that it [...]
Doing Things for Myself
The past couple of months in Japan have been exciting and rewarding. But recently I realized that tucked away in subconsciousness somewhere, I’ve been feeling a lot of pain as well. I’ve had success after success, but I’ve also experienced failure after failure. And though it’s been a bit more pronounced of recent, it’s been something I’ve been suffering from all my life.
Two Nights Ago
That would be the night before I met Mark to discuss the possibilities of working together. It was a fairly interesting night for me and I thought it would be worth writing about.
To begin, I didn’t sleep that night. As many of you already know, I have a pretty nocturnal schedule as of now. I [...]
VISA ON THE HORIZON!
What a day! It looks like I am just around the corner to getting myself a job and a visa!!!
I met up and spoke with Mark today, and we both decided that it would fantastic to work together. Although it turns out that he’s doing much more than I thought he was, and so we [...]
Changing Gears
I’ve recently been thinking a bit more about how I’m going to approach my styling career. I realized that I need to get started on the part of it that I’ve been trying to get to all along – sharing all of my knowledge about style and fashion so that others can learn!
And so, I [...]
Ask and Ye Shall Receive
Opportunities are created! That’s a belief I live my life by, and it’s definitely working right now. In a short period of time, I may very well have both a work visa AND a job that I’ll enjoy at the same time!
Respecting Teachers and Mentors
Hierarchical relationships are a part of Japanese culture, and have been a concern to me ever since I began formally learning Japanese at UC Berkeley. Honestly, I don’t like the system, but not liking it doesn’t make it go away, or make me exempt from it. So I decided to put some thought into it, try a couple things, and I think I found a good “solution” to it!
