Go check it out by yourself on Fla ave, hidden away between old commercial buildings, dont let the looks take you aback, food tasted surprisingly well. i wasn’t impressed with the soup at start, but deeper i dig in, more flavor comes to me like a slow train motions. i asked for a spicy dish, the owner was kindly enough to supply a tiny cup of chopped pepper with vinger on the side, just in case.. u know .. that i couldn’t take the heat. and it was gone before he returned to check on us. to his surprise, he promised that he will make sure i will get proper spicy dish next time when i visit.

and blog is taking it’s shape, no bling, just wider and cleaner, leaving all the junks at the bottom.

Sometimes i wish i was still in Hawaii… where there’s no winter.. then again, i’d miss snow like crazy. i am greedy, period.

yeah i know i know.. but change is good :) so bear with me with more changes to come in few days.


yeah aging sucks.


a cup coffee a day, kills your brain slowly.

this is your life,
where you feel so tired,
beaten up.
yet there’s still a long way for you to finish,
no matter what shape you are in.
funny ideas in your brain,
messing around with your mentality.
weakens your goal,
drifts u off track.
comes the sleeplessness,
enter the isomia.

Outside the Hundertwasser-haus, ViennaThe longer you work at creating things, whether it’s software, websites, essays or paintings, the greater the odds you’ll hit a day where you don’t feel like doing it anymore. Up until then, you may have heard others describe burnout, but you just shrugged it off as superstition, or perhaps believed yourself immune. But the day it hits you, the world seems suddenly grey. What was once fun and challenging feel stupid and annoying. Or perhaps the things that used to motivate or move you don’t resonate at all. You feel nothing for them. It all just seems like so much more crap to deal with. If this sounds familiar, or you fear that this day is in your future, this essay is for you.
How to know when you’re burned out

and it’s turning my life upside down, a nutty fiasco.. i know my parents are doing it in their best intentions, but without my thoughts or my own considerations. like.. i dont insist at all. it has become their own little runway show. my voice or my option does no matter anymore. and it all become hell when i accepted my mother’s bribe.. a 3% down toward the house payments.. i admit .. that’s where i am weak.. not being able to come up with this amount of cash for the house. and so i let her in for the action. instead of having things my way, it becomes what she think is the best, and what she want to do, the next thing i know. she’s having direct communication with the agents instead of me, and like.. what the fuck?

so i told my mother tonight, ” if you are not going with this price tonight, and you can call the agent back, that i want out, and i want no part of this.”

an hour later, she came down to my office and looked concerned and worried that if everything is alright, i told her, i am not going to do this anymore and i will not have this HER WAY. period. simple as that.

with that being that, and i’m not sure if i want to buy the house anymore, friends are moving out of town, issues at new job that only started for two months, i’m not sure if i want to stay in DC anymore. the town doesnt sound attractive to me anymore. nothing makes me want to stay. job openings at google has been luring me for the last few days. yet.. it’s all decisions.. of what i would want to do.

man oh man im so glad i wasnt stuck with this deal. and im so glad i made up my mind no to buy a house. now i’m quitting my job and set for travel around the world for few years. *whew*
