My beautiful friend +Rose Le  :)

I took this photo on my way to 5th floor to charge my phone on Friday (thanks Laura Miller). The guys at Viafoura Inc. are so lucky to have this great view. But to be honest if this is my view I won't be able to work. It is hard ignoring a beauty.

In a Sex and the City episode, Carrie said 
"If Louis was right, and you only get one great love, New York may just be mine."
Maybe architecture is my great love. We always love what we cannot get. I feel like the energy from the buildings is enough to feed me. 

To be honest, I can just drink wine and chat about buildings all day long. Maybe I should take my camera and go on a photo walk around downtown.

"One Today" Charity App by Google
If you put off donating to charity because you're afraid your contribution is too little to make a difference, check out this project.  Google teamed up with a network of non-profit organizations and created an app to allow people to donate $1 to any of them any day.  

You can challenge your friends to donate by offer to match their donations too.  Since we're all social network centric, this is an awesome idea for someone to make a significant difference in others' lives.  I just donated $11 to a charity because 10 of my social network friends offered to match $1 if I donate.

It's currently on pilot and only available on Android.  Just search for "One Today by Google" in Google Play app store.  It should be on iOS eventually.

Growing up being Asian in a Western world is not easy. Society tells you one thing, your community will tell you something else. I was so confused because outside my community, people think I am a little girl who doesn't eat anything to be able to wear size 0 dress (People I eat more than you) ....on the other side when I am with Asians people, they ask me why I look so fat lately...Who is right?

None. But if I have to pick a side, here is my answer.

How cute are these Bla Bla cookies?

"One very good strategy for getting your chatty coworker to stop talking -- at least very briefly -- is to offer her something to eat. Bla-Bla Cookies packaging captures this technique in a clever design by students at Moscow's British Higher School of Art and Design: Adeliya Koldarova, Oksana Paley, Daria Sapozhnikova and Zaira Panaeva.

The paper cylinders that hold the crackers have been graphically treated as cartoon heads. The fronts of the cartons have hairlines, eyes and noses, and mouths covered by the red label that bears the biscuits' logo. Interestingly, you don't open Bla-Bla Cookies packaging from the round flap on top, but rather by tearing the label away. This opens the mouth of the characters to reveal gobs full of food."

1. Lately I rarely wear my 5 inches heels anymore...the flats and low heels are getting a lot of love

2. I debated if i should keep my bob or grow my hair and have classic updo.

3. I just cleaned my closet and put away a big giant box of clothes because....they show way too much skin.

4. I told a kid that I am old enough to be his mother...the interesting fact is I am like a year older than him.

I am getting old.

Google+ dominates poll despite stacked deck!

Lifehacker is running a poll, asking "What’s Your Social Network of Choice?"

But they give Facebook and Twitter an unfair advantage: At the bottom are "Like" buttons for Facebook and Twitter. They're giving a tool to virally promote the poll on two of the social networks, but not the others. As a result, Facebook and Twitter have WAY more votes than Linkedin, Pinterest, MySpace and Instagram.

But Google+ is dominating the poll anyway, with (at the time I write this) twice as many votes as Facebook.

That's not enough.

Since Lifehacker decided to favor Facebook and Twitter, let's send them some Google+ love in the form of MASSIVE votes for Google+:

Had a great night. Hosted a twitter party for a client and we trended #1 & #2 in canada :D (feel free to correct me if I am wrong. I am not trendsmap expert)

Hosting a twitter chat is easy but hosting a trending twitter chat is not. To make it trend is hard but to host it is even harder. People have no clue how much work  we put into it. Everything was planned. 

It is sad when people think it is just luck.

Dress for success
When you meet a man, dress up. You want all his attention. But keep in mind less is more ( less skin more clothes)
When you meet a woman, dress down. You don't want to steal her spotlight.

Good morning my lovely friends :) 
I am writing a post about How to work 16 hours a day and still have a life. It is all about priority. Just like my clothes, I don't have a lot (to give you an idea, i have less clothes than everyone at my company and I work in tech)  but I have classic and high quality clothes. They last me forever and people hardly notice that I repeat my clothes every week. And I don't think I dress too horrible. Figure out what are the most important things in your life and focus on them.
Chat with you guy later  

PS: I am wearing the Lilly Pulitzer jacket again with a different dress. Same piece of clothes but different look.  It is a secret between you and me :P

You can shed tears that she is gone or you can smile because she has lived. RIP Lilly Pulitzer. 

To remember the talented designer, I decided to wear  Lilly Pulitzer today.  It still looks so death outside :( I wish there was more sun and the grass was greener. She was a great woman.

What do you think about my hair? Like it or hate it. Debating if I should have his hairdo everyday. It is time consuming ( not a very startup-friendly hair style). 

The background is my neighbor's house. It is so perfect.  I always remind myself that I need to work hard to buy a house like it.

Jacket: Lilly Pulitzer 
Dress: ASOS

Turn off EVENT SPAM via these Google Calendar Settings (Events Tips)

h/t: +Thomas Morffew for the heads up on this...
Change your Google Calendar settings (and Save the settings) so that you are not bugged by Spammy Event notifications.

These settings I show here should be the defaults but they are not... I still love the Events tool, just an oversight by Google IMO.

Thinking to get Square register for the nails salon. 
http://squareup.com/register/hardware

Pros: 
- Works with ipad
- Stunning design
- Easy to use
- PR friendly

Cons:

Farmscraper
I haven't posted an architecture post in a long long time miss sharing them. I have been so busy with +Thumble. 

Love this farmscraper concept by Vincent Callebaut. it has both rural and urban environments in one design. Hope someone can turn this into reality. Won't be an easy job.

Have you played with Google+'s new emoticons feature?

You post a photo, and after it's posted, click on it then click on the smiley face button on the upper left. 

Google automagically figures out the emotions of everyone in the picture, then creates a thought bubble expressing those emotions on the picture. 

Did you catch that? Google is perceiving the emotions of people in pictures. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Maybe Google can tell me! : )

"I’ll exit with one ‘story’ distilled from my years of meeting and writing about tech entrepreneurs, and happily shared in a sentence: nobody has a fucking clue what they’re doing. Not even the ones with gold-plated university pedigrees and careers that started at age 14. If you can deal with the grueling experience of figuring things out, step by step, you can do what they do: fail sometimes, succeed at others."

So true

I hate when people  judge me for wearing fur. You are not in the position to judge me if you are eating meat and wear leather....keep in mind  your warm comfy ugg are made out of sheepskin too. It is not right to kill mink but it is okay to kill chicken alive? Is that discrimination ???? It doesn't make sense to me at all. 

I wear fur, and I am not going to hide it.  Some people wear faux fur, I don't see the difference. Wearing a fake and pretending it is real doesn't make you better than me. It is just like the 2 monks and a woman story.

 You have your belief, I have mine. Respect it.
