"Today's Vitamin: What lies ahead of you and what lies behind you is nothing compared to what lies within you. -Mohandas K. Gandhi"

Someone very close to our family passed away on Tuesday and my dad sent this to me after he told me what had happened. I get reminded that 고모부 is no longer with us at random times during the day... my heart aches for his children and his wife.

편히쉬세요 고모부...

My dad sends me "daily vitamins" via text message as much as he can. Sometimes they are quotes, sometimes they are proverbs, and sometimes they're just small daily reminders from him. I think I'll share some of those right here on viva la sk.

it's ok

This is your captain speaking...

The only flight safety announcements I like to pay attention to are the ones with elegant, beautiful flight attendants (usually of Asian descent from my experience) where I scrutinize every aspect of their perfectly pressed uniform and flawless makeup.

Tonight, these children have my undivided attention - I just watched an entire flight safety exercise on my bed in a bathrobe while looking to book a flight to Los Angeles for the holidays. I don't even have my boarding pass and I'm voluntarily watching someone explain how to put a seatbelt on.




Now for a sequel... what if they had big fluffy dogs explaining flight safety? Wait... no that wouldn't really work with the life jacket and oxygen mask... it would, however, grab my attention more than a dull American Airlines flight attendant bored out of his/her mind!

behind and in front of the lens

Color Me Katie's blog post got me thinking today.

I've realized that I am sometimes much better at capturing my emotions through a photo rather than words.

And sometimes, the subject of those photos is me.

The self-portraits below are quite old... I should really start embracing self-timer a little more these days.
