Dear friends and family, I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. How digital life treats you? I’m adopting it! I. mean this is what we are supposed to be good at as human beings, right?

Dear friends and family, I hope you and yours are staying safe and healthy. I never thought #quarantine be a trend on social media, but it is now. In fact, there are many things that we didn’t expect: working remotely to become the new routine, and video calls to become our first choice of chatting. […]

Dear friends and family, How are you? With the COVID-19 spreading, we are now practicing to work remotely.

In case you want to try […]

August 2019
Dear friends and family, I have spent my weekend in a resort in the middle of Ramsar's rain forest, where I had the chance to reflect on what I have learned this past month.
