full of contradiction, this city. if there's a limit to how many malls one can have per square meter, KL has hit it. yet, so much of its character shines from beyond the glitzy façade. next stop: bangkok. going offline for a bit. ✌🏼
one incense, for the dead. 🐾
Islamic architecture is one of my favorite. Not only is their design so wonderfully mathematical, their use of color white is sublime. Did you know that these were invented by Muslims? Coffee. Maps. Universities. And of course, algebra. ✌🏼
midnight in the garden of awe
there is always a quiet corner somewhere waiting to be charmed.

"It is almost a failure of will, a failure of love, to let them grow old—or so it feels. We would do anything to keep them with us, and to keep them young. The one gift we cannot give." #MaryOliver from Dog Songs

So this is happening.. honored to be speaking at this year's #99uConf -- one of my favorite creative conference. I took a year off work to create space for boredom. From it, a thought was born. I'll be sharing that thought on stage this May. ❤️ Hope to see some of you there. https://99u.adobe.com
i still remember the day we adopted nemo (@artur13). haven't seen him in almost 10 years. he is blind now with the one eye that he has left but otherwise very healthy. it was so nourishing to see burton reunited with his brother again. according to @tyneejash, "they sort of looked like they remember each other" ☺️
My brother walked me through his morning commute to work over video chat yesterday. Makes me miss the motherland. I'm glad to have been born there. This is a shot from the time I brought @joshuaromancello to the fresh market. There is no end in sight when it comes to food. The people are friendly. And you can get by with very little. For those who have eaten my famous son-in-law eggs, you can spot it in the pic.
I come to love the perfect quote, not by seeing the imperfect line-spacing, but by seeing the words as they are perfectly.
It's children's day in Thailand. Here's my favorite photo of Harry not in Thailand. But he's a child, therefore relevant. #tbt @ #oculus Harry gave me the best hug over the holidays when we cuddle-puddled while watching Lord of the rings. I think he knew I was scared. Thanks, Harry. ❤️
