I’ve walked more than 15.5 miles since Monday, resulting in sore feet and tanned shoulders. Now I’m eating healthy delicious food and soon I will be joining a gym, and I’m happy that I get the chance to live healthier now that school is over. (Gotta make up for how much I drink somehow.)
Speaking of which, I’m super stoked on seeing Brian Jonestown Massacre tonight. This summer is gonna be great.
Finally developed a disposable camera I’ve been carrying around for over 5 months. Old memories.
That’s it. It’s done. I’m calling it a day and walking to the printer, 3 hours behind schedule.

Summer vacation is only two weeks away. It seems too good to be true that I will soon have a fulltime job that pays well, and an amazing life next to it. It might not be as cool as couchsurfing around Europe last summer, but not being broke for once will be incredible.
The postcard I designed for a series of Architecture events at CCA, here shown unfolded. Each fold is perforated, meaning the cards can also be torn apart to be used individually.
good day / bad day
It seems like every time something good happens, something bad happens too, just to balance it all out.
Yesterday I had a job interview with Nokia for a visual design internship in their Advanced Design department. An hour after the interview, he called to offer me the job. I’m excited! It should be an amazing opportunity to gain more experience in interactive and product design, as well as data visualization. The part of me with strong punk ideals feels bad for selling out to a big corporation, but I don’t think I can pass this up.
I was treating the boyfriend and myself to celebratory belgian waffles brunch at Frjtz when I left my phone on the table for a minute, and it was stolen. I’ve been frantically tracking it around the city using Find My iPhone today. It has been turned off the majority of the time, but I get a notification every time it gets turned on for a minute. Each time it was turned on again, it had moved, going from Mission to SOMA, back to Mission and then to Hayes Valley.
We went on a wild goose chase after it, driving to this exact location to look for it. We found ourselves standing outside Frjtz, except it was a different location. The phone had been off for 25 minutes when we got there, and after asking the staff if they had seen anything, I assumed it had moved again.
But it’s still there, 6 hours later.
I designed this poster for the summer youth programs/extended ed classes at CCA. It can be seen all around San Francisco, as well as the CCA campus.
ghost mice – i’ll be happy
they say that misery
is the greatest inspiration
they say that being happy
just makes you dumb
they say you’re boring
when you’ve got a girlfriend
i think they just don’t know
how good it feels to be in love
let someone else write all the songs that make you cry
let someone else have all the really moving lines
let someone else be the one they call amazing
and i’ll be happy
happy right here by your side
I really love this money tree in the lot of the abandoned gas station on 15th & South Van Ness. Appreciate it while you can, because it’s being turned into condominiums soon.
