In Amsterdam, about to board my plane to Budapest. So many emotions all at once -- it's been so long. Wrote the above three weeks ago. Haven't been able to access the internet since -- my laptop seems to have...

On the road again… back in Asia on a work-trip. This part of the world is pretty much what half my DNA is made of and there's something about being here that I am afraid I'll never be able to...

Blog: Got 2 Wear Shades
You can probably call me lucky, fortunate or blessed. Either way, I definitely am. This is the nth time, I bagged prizes from contests and give-aways. The first few times I won were when I was in grade school. I earned the top places in Spelling Bee, Storytelling Contests, Poster...
