I was so blessed this year with amazing trips to beautiful places.
Hawaii - one of the most incredible trips with my dearest friends for Penny's wedding.

April
July
December
Upstate New York - Glamping with friends
I cherish moments spent with truly the best gentleman I know.
And having a genuine girlfriend like Hannah santoki who's such a gem.
Hobbies like..creating pieces for my home
Major moments in my career that keep things fun and remind me why I love doing what I do. NYFW - love/hate relationship // Blake Lively in Marios Schwab in Marie Claire // And my 18 credits in the Sept issue of NYLON including cover (hello cat ears), BOOM!
Oh glorious New York - so thankful she's so resilient. Time Out NY cover photo of the rare week-long blackout and the snow storm that ensued immediately after Sandy.
Boarding! The mini glow-in-the-dark Penny board I got this yr became my favorite of 3, but I think I'll take my longboard out more often in 2013..Just for the sake of taking pressure off my ankles whilst boarding such long distances throughout the city.
Kitties - the top 3 encounters.
Art - I discovered a painting my mom did when she was 17 on my CA trip in April. The original was too delicate to move so Kevin helped me restore a digital version and I was able to gift my mom a print of her awesome work. My best Mother's Day gift to date // self-done Commes des Garcon nail art // BTS of Kevin's Arrow watercolor piece for me. These kind of gifts are extremely special because I know how much he hates doing visual arts.
Balance - Finally came to a point where I could find more time for myself. Happy that I even have that option of being bored, riding my bike, or jumping up and down if I want to.
The highlight of all highlights in 2012 - I'll never forget the beautiful 60 seconds of feeling infinite in the 'Fireflies On the Water' installation by Yayoi Kusama.
Anyway.. Hi 2013. Let's see what unfolds...
