Happy Earth Day 🌎🕊️
Hello to all my friends—each of you carrying a story, a spirit, and a way of being that matters 🩶
Today, as one human on our shared planet, I'm reflecting on how sustainability is a form of harmony. And to reach that harmony, peace on Earth is essential, and to achieve peace, we must cultivate the instruments of culture—one that is inclusive in language and perspective, offering an alternative to all forms of supremacy: saying no to repression, and yes to a shared humanity.
And on this Earth Day, I can't turn away from the realities in Palestine (esp. of the children), and the intensifying policies of exclusion and conflict accelerated by the US administration.

If such a perspective resonates with you at all, and if you also believe that internationally, we desperately need a way forward please stay till the end of the blog and share your perspective too 🤍🌍

Read moreIn 2022, I’d like to actively look outwards in the day-to-day, seeking one-of-a-kind experiences accessible in my own vicinity in Tokyo (and the Kanto Region), roughly at the rate of about once a week (e.g. taking advantage of a quiet weekday).
Below is a personal bucket list, something that I will add to and cross out as I go. If you’re reading this, I would love to hear your suggestions, and if you’re interested in any of these things, it would be great to see if we can tick them off together as well. Also, if there are any that you hadn’t thought of and like to add to your own list, that would be splendid too :)
Read moreI have not been lucky enough to physically travel and get to know every culture on the planet, but I have been blessed to be living in the age of the internet; giving us invaluable access to motion pictures from across time and space 🎞
I thought it would be kinda fun to make a visual record of this ‘virtual journey’ since it visuailses where I might have the opportunity to be further inclusive, or more internationally versed through watching motion pictures that capture stories that are yet categorically unknown to me.

Read moreIt's been a while since I've posted anything here.
I've moved back to Japan in Jan 2015 and it's already Sep 2017.
Time surely does fly, especially when you make a big move.
It's been amazing being back, while also feeling 'homesick' towards my second home, Sydney.
And on that note of slight nostalgia, here's a little something that I thought was lovely re: taking a scientific, data-driven, rational approach to maximising more moments that we feel truly happy.

With many terrible news around the world this year with shootings in Kenya, a massacre in Nigeria, bombs in Beirut and the attack in Paris (which are only segments of the pain caused around the world reported to us through the media), we can only keep uncovering the world with more connections, bro hugs and kanpai's of mutual respect.
