2011: carry-on!

when 2010 drew to a close, i found myself questioning the purpose and function of this blog. it started out as documentation of my experience living in korea, but i've been back home now to good ol' canada for five months and i can barely remember the taste of soju (oh, wait-pure, rank chemical liquid compound. nevermind, still got it). i then shifted gears to posting more about 'what i like' which mostly seems to encompass japanese architecture, packaging design, a dash of fashion and a strange obsession with chairs (how amazing is the octopus chair??!!). but as my physical environment was so non-inspiring (no offense otown) i struggled with self motivation, and productivity in all aspects of my life dwindled and suffered.
but as 2011 advances, and i've finally realigned my goals and expectations for the year, it's time to CARRY-ON! in the upcoming months, 'what i like' will slowly but surely experience a refresher, a virtual facelift in terms of appearance, content and perhaps domain. there will be more of an emphasis on FASHION+CHINA...because who knows...asia might be back in the cards. but for now, CARRY-ON! chairs! kpop boys! leather! jap-architecture! beautiful things! beautifully ugly things!!
