Why am I NOT Impressed with Google Pixel?
I finally have a chance to review Google Pixel. Frankly, I’m not that impressed as (most probably) paid reviewer out there.

I feel like Google Pixel might be the best Android phone (I used whole summer Samsung Galaxy and I used Motorola…

A Silk Road Tale by Fazil Say
Fazil Say is my favorite classical music virtuoso. He is one the biggest artists in his time. Because he is not only a performer but also a composer. Can you imagine that he composed his first piano sonata when he was 14 years old? I barely started to write my first stories, at that age,…

Skinny Jeans with Blazer Jacket
Skinny jeans and blazer are kind of siblings to each other. If you have one of them, you have to put the other one together. Very expected but a lifesaver for job interviews. Young, confident but professional. If you want me to be honest, these kind of looks are so easy and very expected from a fashion…

Central Park – New York Fairy Tale
Central Park is probably my favorite place above all. It is another universe in the middle of chaotic New York. I was one of those lucky people who live close enough to run in the park every morning. Those were the pretties 3 year in UES. (Check rest of New York Guide Posts) I realized…
