Puppy sitting ;D



My friend Claudine needed a puppy sitting for 2 weeks. Of course, we say, "YES WE CAN!" with big smiles :D


You are right, I don't own a dog, I have never had a dog, this is the first time to do a puppy sitting! It is fun to have such a beautiful sweetest creature with you everyday, it is tough to wake up 6 AM every morning to go for a walk and wait for your dog to do pee and/or poop and the same goes to the night time! Like me, who sleeps and wakes up whenever I feel like, this puppy sitting experience made our life like the one of Buddhist monks! :P

This sweetest Bernese Mountain dog is just a 8 weeks old. Her name is Che, yes, she is a girl but Claudine named her Che, because of her passion for Cuba and Che Guevara. Che smells like a milky baby, super sweet, her stomach is soooo kissable and always smooth and warm. She will be a big dog so she has huge soft paws which I can't stop touching :P Her nose is so cute too, very soft and pink. You cannot get tired of just looking at her!

My super smart friend Roshan is right. A dog dreams! Che often dreams. She moves her legs and make noises, while she is sleeping. Amazing.



If you are single and looking for a partner or just want more new friends!!, I definitely recommend to own a dog ;P But the dog has to be cute and friendly and if possible a rare dog (better to avoid loud barking dogs like chiwawa etc) so people will talk to you! :D So many people stopped us when we went for a walk. It will take a way longer to just walk several blocks because everyone wants to talk to you and touch your dog ;P So be ready for that~!!

"Happy in my shadow" - Che loves a shade, she doesn't like hot weather at all. She is a master of finding a shade! When she gets tired of walking, she often sits in my shadow and gives me a happy smile like this :D

Logo Design for dcat ;)))

I really enjoy designing logo! What fun!! This logo design was for "dcat" project at super fast growing hedge fund Two Sigma Investments! They are just fabulous people! :D I gave them 5 digital logo ideas:


and they liked the bottom robotic logo idea. We added { } since "dcat" program uses those. I hand-drew one and used illustrator for the other one just to see the comparison. They liked the hand-drawn version better and I was happy because I like the combination of the soft organic hand-drawn lines and the digital robotic logo ;D

This will be printed on ninja style headband, "hachimaki" in Japanese, for the fantastic "dcat" project team and their clients ;)

Relaxation at Shiatsu Moon... :D


I met this pretty lady, Zoe Moon Culbertson (Yes, that is her real middle name! How cool is that!!) when we were walking down the beautiful trail to the Walden Pond! I was so surprised to hear such fluent Japanese from her mouth! That was the last thing you can imagine when you are in the quiet forest ;P Zoe is not only a master of Japanese Shiatsu but also a woman full of knowledge. She can give you advice about nutrition to live your life healthier.
She asked me to be a model for her website the other day and I said, "of course!!" and the pleasure was literally all mine ;P
Here is her gorgeous website, Shiatsu Moon~! When you need relaxation or find harmony with your body & soul, I am sure Zoe can help you ;D

Flying above the St. Johns River ;D



Created fun video of "Bosun Swinging" by hanging a bosun's chair from the 50 foot mast of Karavela, lifting it just above the life rail and swinging out over the water on the Freedom 40 sailboat captained by Jacqueline Welti and Jos VanBavel who masterfully navigated around the thunder clouds so we could ride the wind and waves~!! Can't stop!! :D Thanks to Ratatat for the kick'n music~! Woohoooo!!
(You can see the full size video on YouTube)
