I got my first tattoo in May.  Lavender reminds me of poppy because it is his favorite color; I used to crack up when I was little and he told me he liked it.  I thought it was so funny that my big, strong grandpa like a girly color like lavender.  Since then I have come to associate the flower, smell and color with my poppy and nanny.  I buy them lavender flowers, candles and then I got the flower tattooed on my arm.  Now I always have a piece of poppy with me.

Now that you are all acquainted with Poppy, enjoy one of the many great pictures I have of him! This is him wearing a shirt with a picture of me on it (he had it custom made)

누군가를 위해 선물을 고르고, 포장하고, 몇 마디 말을 적는 순간은 여전히 행복하다. 하지만 일단 선물하고 나면 상대방이 그 선물을 어떻게 할지에 대해서는 신경쓰지 않는다. 선물이란, 선물을 건네는 그 반짝이는 순간 뒤로는 온전히 받는 사람의 소유. 그 사람의 자유와 영역에 속하는 물질이니까. 일단 내 손을 떠나면 그걸로 끝이다. 돌아보지 않는다. 사랑에 대해서도 이럴 수 있다면, 얼마나 좋을까. ​At the moment I pick a gift, wrap it and write a few words for someone, still makes me happy. But once I make a gift then give to someone, I do not care whatever the person will do with it. A gift is the recipient's entirety after the glittering moment of handing it. Because it belongs to the freedom and the domain of that person. Once it is off my hands, it is already over. I do not look back. If I can do this about love, how great can it be... #Letter #Snoopy #Woodstock #GiftsfromHeart #Gift #ShortThought (Seoul, South Korea에서)

Ready

I have to come to terms with the fact that I'm not always ready for the things I want to do when I want to do them. This is one of my major sources of disenchantment and frustration, but should be a source of wisdom and learning.

Well, people just come and go. You better choose wise who is worth the pain.

A story I probably won;t come back to...but should

I don’t want to be guided. I want to wander and float across the infinite magic that lies in the breath of each new air, in the vibrations of each drum beat, in the radiance of every vibrant color! To get lost in villages full of uncharted faces; road maps to new adventures...

To swim in the waters of Fiji, and in the slopes of Mt. Fuji.

Its the dream to be seen, but mine is to see. 

For you see...

It’s not the motion in the ocean that propels my mind, its the sense of new discoveries across the battle of time...........Shit I think I’m starting to rhyme.

(laughs)

Too be concluded....going to procrastinate a bit

SOCIAL AGE DEMANDS TRANSPARENT & OPEN BUSINESS

Being authentic means being the same on the inside as you say you are on the outside. It’s about transparency, truthfulness and being genuine. Brands  who fail ‘walk the talk’ will find their customers (and other important stakeholders) spotting the ‘legitimacy gap’, calling bullshit and voting with their feet. It won’t be a solitary walk either.

Today we’re all connected and empowered. The social web has enabled this. We talk to each other. The social web amplifies our words. Our praise as well as our criticisms. And when we talk people like us have more authority than journalists, the government or brands. People like us listen to … people like us – our friends, our colleagues, our family.

BUILDING PURPOSE & PRINCIPLE WITHIN BUSINESS

A firm’s values go beyond their statements of mission and vision. Values and principles shouldn’t be instruments of external image management. Rather they are ethical commitments to different stakeholder interests. Modern PR helps firms lift these promises off the ‘About Us’ section of the corporate website and bed them down as part of the firm’s DNA. Over time these principles become the base upon which the decisions and actions of employees are made.

Public relations professionals should help organisational leaders articulate what the company stands for and how it can live up to what it says it is. In other words public relations professionals should play a major part in developing the organisation’s corporate values and ethics from which positive action is driven.
