Little Black Dress
Although I am no longer required to dress stiff for work, my love for LBDs still remains… (omit all the work-inappropriate ones in the picture above).
I remember Julia and I always talked about having a closet full of black dresses from Theory when we started working. Now I can deviate from the stereotype and be more bold with something like theyskens’ theory, but I still do want...
It's been a while...
Currently at my last desk shift at Pop Physique (finally!) - I’m probably going to become a client (bar workout, here I come!), but very happy to have my Sunday mornings, or weekends in general, completely to myself.
It’s been two weeks since I’ve left LEK. I was talking to Christine last night about how much my first two years in the work force has shaped me the way I am now....

You want a job, a vacation, heath insurance, validation, a back rub, a scalp massage at the place where you get your haircut, people who are jealous of you, an ex who won’t stop texting you when they’re drunk, Twitter followers, happiness maybe sorta, someone to buy you lunch at a fancy restaurant, a mentor who can tell you what the hell to do with your life, a reliable internet connection, a...

“Hello all,
The U.S. profit share announcement will be made Friday, January 13th at 9:45am (PST).

BEST LAST DAY EVER!!!

2011 reflection (me, too!)
Inspired by Sarah and Julia, I am also going to write 2011 reflection as I am waiting for my conference call at 6pm (are you guys downtiming at work, too? we are all updating our blogs!)
Went on a sabbatical (which I *fought* for)
Found a new job at a startup :) which I’m very excited about
Went to my first *real* final presentation at a PE firm in Century City… and learned that...
The perfect tote
Has anyone ever gone on a search for the perfect tote bag? I have… I’ve gone through the phases of tote bags, whether purchased or not, ranging from self-made bags from Michael’s (circa 2003), Longchamp (sturdy and colorful… still use it all the time for traveling), LV Neverfull (gosh, everywhere), and Goyard (!!!).
… dare I say, I think I might have found the...
I… finally… did… it!!! Giving my very first two weeks notice. I feels quite liberating!
Yes, I am leaving my cubicle job at a consulting firm and joining a start-up called Maker Studios. I’ve tried my best to explain what Maker Studios does to non-digital-media-savvy people several times and I think the article (embedded with the name) explains best. I’m very...
