You can fake your resume, your selling points, anything superficial.
But you can’t fake passion, period.
It’s not like if you build it, people will come.
One thing I learned from Digital Marketing class. So true.
But how?
I’m experimenting these days.
Ciao for Now is a little cozy bakery/cafe near my place. On a Saturday morning, I went there to get some breakfast. The ambiance was good. However, it’s not necessarily your study/read type of cafe but it’s great for sit down and catch up with friends.
Oh, and how I like their cute name “Ciao for Now.” =D
Especially when you mention that you are from Taiwan, they talk to you with all due respect. Ya, Taiwan! Not Thailand or China, it’s Taiwan! They may or may not have the understanding on any of the political issues between Taiwan and China, but they can certainly differentiate Taiwan from China (well, maybe based on the quality of their gadgets or whatsoever).
Why? I guess it’s probably because most of their gadgets are either made or assembled in Taiwan. This thought came to me after my “Operation and Customer Service” class, which consists of 7 members (one happened to be a Mac groupie/geek) and the instructor is certainly a geek (at least he claimed to be one of them). Anyways, just a little thought and I think this class is going to be interesting.
I wasn’t aware of the concept of pop-up stores until I moved to NYC. It seems like New Yorkers (or at least those marketing people) are just amazed by the idea of pop-up stores. I’ve probably been to at least 4 or 5 pop-up stores ever since I moved into the city. For instance, I’ve been to Colette x Gap on fifth Ave., and Madewell (which is a J Crew brand for youngster) on Broadway. And now here is another one–Wired Store of the Wired magazine. Not that I am following the Wired magazine all the time (which to be honest, I am not at all), but this store is literally opened right across the street from where I intern at. It’s rather difficult for me to avoid it.

So, here comes November. Time went as fast as you could ever notice. There are non-stop group project meeting and brainstorming line-up in this sweet November. Read More »
First day is usually packed with anxiety, excitement and not-knowing-what-to-do-ness (please excuse my limited vocabulary><). Read More »
Recently, I have been inspired by couple of blogs (well, actually only two) that I came across randomly. They are all well-written and thoughtful (yeah, I do use “Thoughtful” as the folder name of my RSS subscription). I feel like there are lots of readings I need to do and also polish my writing skills (yeah…shame on me, 4 years of college education does not necessarily mean I can write). So, to remind myself of this particular goal I want to achieve. I decided to write this blog entry and to see if I actually do something to make it work. The following are the blogs that interested me.
A talented young entrepreneur speaking to the world…I like this blog, very thoughtful and I cannot believe this person is younger than me…(gee….what am I doing here?)
Jessica Mah Meets World
I found this blog as I was searching some information about New York City before I moved here. Her writing is interesting, and I like it a lot.
