My UE11 Pro Custom Earphones
I finally got my Ultimate Ears UE11 Pro Custom earphones today. It started by molding my ear canals for the custom casing. It was a weird experience, but definitely a fun one as many professional music artists go through the same experience to craft their own earphones. So it was a moment for me to kind of experience that.
The earphones come in a very fine black box. The texture feels very...
Miniature mode on Sony NEX-5N
I was playing around with my Sony NEX-5N, using that miniature mode from the camera. Since our hotel room was on the 17th floor, I got a pretty good angle of the parking lot and commercial building.
Miniature mode worked really well, and the output looks great on objects taken from a distance. As you can see from my photos, the trees, cars, and people looks really funny and interesting.

Sunset from Grove's parking lot
I love parking on top of the Grove’s shopping mall’s parking lot. In my recent trip to LA, I took some photos of very nice sunset. If you ever visit to LA I highly recommend stopping by the Grove and park at the very top of the parking garage. You will get 360 view of the whole city.

I highly recommend getting the buttered shrimp tacos. The other recommended dish is the grilled zucchini. It tastes really great when you put soy sauce on it.
Here are some photos I took from my...

Monarch Butterflies in Fremont
Check out this photo I took from Ardenwood Historic Farm in Fremont. After lunch on Friday in late afternoon, we visited the park (paid $2 at entrance). During this season Monarch butterflies are overwintering at this park.
This was my first time in life seeing these Monarch butterflies in cluster in the wild. It was pretty amazing.

Four Barrel Coffee in San Francisco
I went to Four Barrel Coffee in Mission District, San Francisco. Four Barrel is one my favorite coffee in SF city. It is one of the major coffee brands representing San Francisco (Blue Bottle, Ritual, Four Barrel, etc.)
This is actually my first time visiting the store. The interior is pretty well designed. The ceiling is high and it is pretty cozy. This place is highly recommended.

Japan's Sunset During Winter
I thought I’d share three of my sunset photos I took in Japan. During winter, it seems like the sky in Tokyo turns purple unlike California’s sky where it is more dark blue with mix of orange.

Yakiniku BBQ Diary in Tokyo
I went to two Yakiniku places in my recent trip to Tokyo.
Oyaji

This place is very low key, but it is known for its intestine dishes.
Oyaji has many meat dishes, but this place is known for its marinated intestine. It is so good. I also recommend their kalbi as well.
Isn’t the little pipe over the charcoal nice? It sucks up the smoke pretty...
