Vulnerability is not necessarily bad!
Vulnerability is inevitable in our life. Ignoring it won’t make vulnerability fade away, and in fact, being vulnerable is not totally a bad thing.
Parthenope (film)
If you watch the trailer of Parthenope, you may think that it's just a very typical film talking about a beautiful girl who has comparative advantages and popularity in society. The movie, in fact, is about humanity from the point of view of the girl's life.
What if a male is sexually assaulted?
Sexual assault does not only happen to females, but also males.
Yesterday afternoon just after school, when I entered into a toilet, which shares the same building with a cafe in a park, peeing in the only shared urinal which allows maximum of two persons at the same time, a guy came close to me.
The purpose of organising our own digital contents
Remember, it doesn't matter how tidy your digital space is, because this is not the end product we need to have, but your satisfaction when you are moving data having new ways of looking and seeing!
Rational dress nowadays
I love to see how people can make sandals become the shoes which are no longer limited to swimming and at home: comfortable, practical and even more fashionable, elegant in different circumstances. A kind of creativity that should be encouraged!
The Secret app — the most meaningful and authentic travel guide created by doers and creators
I am pleased to become one of the doers/creators of The Secret App, which is composed of amazing people curating nice places in cities where they are based in.
Mental capital
Of course I am not a sociologist so I can't justify the idea of mental capital, but I will regard it as a reminder for me to not care too much about money and productivity, which are very important but only the SECOND most important, as mental health is always my top priority. Without it, you can't have money and productivity.
Drawing the sky view of London in Horizon 22 again
There are a lot of viewing platforms in London, and some of them are free. Of them my favourite is Horizon 22 which is now the highest in the city. I made the second visit and sketched the same view again.
A flight without entertainment and internet
Don’t forget we have choice: don’t let technology replace offline lifestyle, and we can have both.
17 April 2025
The key message is that when we are more willing to aware of the surrounding environment and ourselves, we will never lose the ability to learn and adapt, and see life is full of options.
Curiosity instead of restriction to deal with “addictive” social media
The approaches of restricting or banning the use of social media make sense, but can’t fix the root cause because we will be vulnerable to social media again.
A trip to Portsmouth, Gosport and Bognor Regis
Under such the perfect weather in early April, I had a trip which was a little bit different because of visiting more than one place/town at once instead. I started from Portsmouth and ended in Bognor Regis.
Why Apple Notes (2)?
A good app does not need you to do extra things while your life can continue as usual. It won’t undermine your ability but will make you better instead. Apple Notes can really achieve that.
Four Mothers
Four Mothers is an Irish movie about an author called Edward who recently published a fiction about two men reflecting some current social structures. His publisher wants to arrange him for a book tour in the US.
The comedy movie also reveals some social phenomena that I can think of.
_____ and sketching
As a sketcher for more than decades, I would like to share some of my thoughts and observations regarding drawing.
On the myths of writing
Writing should be a part of life for everyone, especially if you are not good at it and even a professional author.
On iA Writer and Microsoft Word; as well as Apple Notes
I am a Word hater who is tired of every kind of formatting, user interface, app crash which made me keep clicking SAVE frequently, endlessly saving a lot of versions because of FOMO….. I got rid of it many years ago because I met another app called iA Writer.
Why Apple Notes?
I used to be an Evernote user to record my ideas, collect information, writing and figuring out what I should do next (sorry I don’t want to use the term “planning” because I am not filling my schedule and I am a flexible person) until 2020 when they released an unusable update. I am only using an app which is preinstalled on all my devices: Apple Notes.
Public transport should as comfortable and convenient as your cars
Good public transport is good for all people including the rich as its network and service quality shapes a place enhancing its vibe and promoting meaningful human activities.
