So I've been told that I don't have enough pictures of myself on this blog thing… I guess people must be sick and tired of seeing pictures of landscapes and scenery. How boring can that be, eh? But hey it's hard trying to take pictures of myself when I'm using the person holding the camera. … Continue reading Who's vain? Not me…

Europe allows only 20kg
If you ever want to go to Europe, the first thing I'd recommend you do is check your baggage weight limit. I think ANY flights to Europe will allow you to check in baggages weighing a TOTAL of 20kg (yep, that's the total of the two bags you're allowed to checkin). To make things more … Continue reading Europe allows only 20kg
Computers and courses… (Sigh)
So I've been spending the past week trying to work out all these computer issues at work and at home. First it was red ants finding a home in my computer… don't know why but they just started to find a home in my computer. Luckily I wasn't able to get them out (hopefully all … Continue reading Computers and courses… (Sigh)
Getting back to the routine
Well after what feels like 3 weeks of craziness, I'm slowly getting back to my routine of eat, sleep, work, study, reading… The past week and a bit threw me off my finely-tuned system of getting as much done as possible within a 24-hour period. Not counting my social life (which coincidently enough is almost … Continue reading Getting back to the routine

I thought the US website was … Continue reading Coca Cola turns BLAK
Langauge Barriers
So I've been trying to sign up for various courses in Bangkok, which have been advertised in English, but guess what, when I call or email the people in charge, they tell me the course is in Thai. My Thai isn't that great but it's not that bad either, so I think if I tried … Continue reading Langauge Barriers
Romanibah
In mid-2005, I was working with a non-governmental organization (NGO) in Skopje Macedonia to help them improve their international communication and organizational development. I was approached to help a local organization working to help Roma people in the country to come up with a new logo. The four-leaf clover was a graphic that was already … Continue reading Romanibah
How-to Mapping Guide
Working with the United Nations Development Programme on a HIV/AIDs and development programme for Southeast Asia, I researched, wrote, and designed this publication that was released in 2004. This how-to guide stresses the importance of mapping as a tool for understanding and responding to HIV vulnerability. The content for the guide came out of an … Continue reading How-to Mapping Guide
Cimate and HIV/AIDS
As part of a series of covers on HIV/AIDS, development, environment, agriculture and transportation, I designed this cover to represent the publication’s content on the link between Climate Change and HIV/AIDS. In addition to being the photographer for the cover, I also put together a series of photos to create the design. The publication raises … Continue reading Cimate and HIV/AIDS
