I MCed at a press release for a cell phone company this Monday.
Apart from their incredible cutting edge technology, it's amazing how their recent designs are collaborated with various artists or fashion brands. (I loved the kimono designs)
They even came up with a collaboration with TIFFANY- a cell phone filled with 40 diamonds on a 100% platinum plate...

On this day, I had the lucky opportunity to meet HOK from "So You Think You Can Dance".
I was rooting for him on the TV show because he was the only Asian dancer, and he's Japanese. He's a break dancer but challenged ballrom dancing, samba, and all sorts of difficult dance routines. Amazing!
I truly respect all Japanese people who are making it through in the world, outside of Japan.
