Attributing my silence on my blog to work and life is becoming a common excuse, I notice Without making much fuss, here are some things I’ve been doing or are on my mind today!
Exploring NYC stores and restaurants. Spending way too much time at the MOMA Design store. The place where I work gave us (thank you!) gift-cards to the store and I have yet to decide what to spend my monnies on!
Spent a few hours yesterday at Kinokuniya at the Rockefellar Center. Kinokuniya is an all-Japanese bookstore - they also have cool stationary and a few English books. If you are a Japanphile like me, you will LOVE this store. It’s a pity I can’t read or write Japanese yet but the store is a absolute sensory delight.
Watched the entire Season 2 of Heroes back-to-back on hulu.com.
Reading (previously unread) books my my favorite author Haruki Murakami - Currently reading, UnderGround.
Shuttling between Philly and NY, hanging out with friends, cooking meals and simply relishing this break.
Tweeting is yet to come naturally to me.
Bhutto’s murder shook me - pushed me to wonder, am I doing something important enough with my life. Such a bubble we live in sometimes.
When I was younger, I’d want to hold on to one day of the ending year — just one day for me to live whenever I chose to. Now, 1st Jan is just another day Doesn’t mean we don’t bring it in with a bang though
So that’ it for today!

Sounds like the new job and relocating experience have brought many a new revelation…what a colourful way to end the year!
Sometimes I ask myself if what I’m doing (or will end up doing) is important, or important enough. I think what is key is to make small things in life meaningful and to ‘do good’ with your whole heart (when you do it).
I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. Its in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for- that for me, is glamor. -Isabella Rossellini
