A study showing why New Years Resolutions aren’t effective and most likely counter-productive. So this year, on New Years I’m not going to tell you.

A lot of my friends like to read in order to escape reality, but my reason is the exact opposite. I read because it helps me understand reality.

Just finished “Super Freakonomics” by Steven Levitt. It’s been a long time since I’ve done some non-academic reading. Although I spend a lot of my time in bookstores and libraries, it’s mostly for the ambiance and I don’t actually get to pry into any of their contents.

I would definitely recommend any of Levitt’s work, his prose is entertaining and the content is novel and worth the read. He discusses the economic aspects of prostitution and healthcare in terms of suicide bombers, but my incorporation has definitely led to some personal thought on post-college life.

The way I see it, don’t let college interfere with your education. School is only a means, and grades are only a score. Lest we pin ourselves down against our own well being to achieve a high mark on the transcript. Deliberately contemplate if endeavors, whether in education, achievements, and in general life are reinforcing.

Procrastination.

If you’re shuffling through the tumblr feed in an exercise procrastination. Might as well shift through this video for some inspiration.

Highlights of the San Diego Asian Film Festival

I got the great opportunity to shoot as a press photographer for Taiwan543 magazine. It was such a great experience, got to hang out with some famous maybe even infamous stars and got some coverage on some exclusive events. Never thought that photography would be able to take me to so many new places and help me meet new people.
