Garden Level

My office was recently relocated to another building on PLU campus. The new office is quite different from what I was used to. It is a big open space that I share with my colleagues; we name it "Garden Level". Fortunately I had total freedom to make the new space both functional and comfortable for me and my colleagues. Here is a peek at my new desk.

My favorite aspect of the new workspace is the refreshing natural light from big windows that helps me stay alert, attentive, and focused. I like to keep the space free of cluster by minimizing all unnecessaries items. I also choose most of accessories in white to create a clean and unified look.

The space will continue to evolve as I refine the details and explore new inspirations around myself. I am excited for what will come and how I can make this space well fit my personal workflow.

Video: Get Ready for the Holidays

It is that time of the year, when we are super excited to for the holiday season. We both love Christmas and everything about it: gifts, decorations, music, candles, hot cocoa, and cinnamon buns. Here is a video about our weekend project to transform our house for the holidays.

This video was filmed with the iPhone 6 and put together in the Final Cut Pro X.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall

It is that time again, when the summer heat was yesterday and rain becomes a part of everyday routine. Fall is coming to the Northwest. I already counted last weekend as the last day of summer. While the sun was still up and coat was not mandatory, I wanted to spend outside as much as I could. So, I dragged Kimmy to the Ruston Way for a walk and to check out Tacoma Moon Festival taken place at the Chinese Reconciliation Park.

We got some mooncakes from a vendor at the festival. The filling is lotus seed paste with salty egg yolk. The sweetness is just right, and the cake is delicious when pairing with a hot cup of lotus tea.
