“When I was a teenager, my style was influenced by hip hop, and when I studied in university, it evolved to a fusion of a cowboy style with rock & roll influences. Now I try to dress minimally.”

“I always strive for excellence and try to have a good work ethic—it might not always be noticed but you’ll definitely feel an immense sense of pride and accomplishment for a commitment that you spend more than 70% of your life on.”

“I’m more of a people person, so if I weren't a media planner, I’d probably work in the food & beverage industry or in public relations where it’s more interactive.”

“I’m looking forward to Epizode, a music festival that’s taking place in Vietnam. I don't think I have the energy and endurance to go for all 11 days of non-stop partying so I’ll just go for some of them.”

“Don’t try to plan your life, because that’s not going to work out. Just go with the flow, live in the moment, and make the most of it.”

“One of my best experiences at work is getting exposure to a huge variety of brands that I work with, as well as the industries that they’re part of.”

“A lot of people are doing their part for the people around them, so if I could be a superhero, I’d rather be Captain Planet to help the environment and animals as they tend to be more neglected.”

“If I could witness any event of the past, present, or future, I’d like to witness the downfall of mankind in the future and understand why that happened.”

“The most difficult case I’ve come across was dealing with sexual abuse of a child who was eight, whose parents were drug addicts.”

We find there are many tales behind a string of precious stones, given by a loved one; a raggedy, well-worn friendship bracelet; or a roughly-hewn ring, imperfect and unpolished.
