The past few weeks I’ve been busy mostly with 2 things: studying and working out. I’m in the zone. But, after working both my body and mind, I have little energy to socialize. I have had a chance to hang out a bit with my friend Karina who I met through my friend John from [...]

Posted On: February 21st, 2011
I had not heard of A Map of Saturday until last year during the planning for Meet Plan Go. I finally realized why: the film came out during the time I headed out for my own travel adventure. Settling in Bogota, Colombia, further contributed to limited access to the movie. I had heard a lot [...]
