# What I'm doing now

## Work 🚀

I work full-time as a Senior Software Engineer at Olivine.

## Personal 🐶

Anna and I moved in together this year. It is our biggest change yet. Living
together has strengthened our bond and taught us to communicate better while
connecting more deeply. Kiba our mini schnauzer is loving it the most and
thriving with us both under one roof.

## Travels ✈️

2024 was packed with adventure. I took my parents and fiancée to Japan – their
first time. Seeing them light up in Tokyo's busy streets and Kyoto's quiet
temples warmed my heart. Anna and I also explored Asia: Thailand's lively
markets, Vietnam's stunning views, China's ancient sites, and a second Japan trip
that felt just as special.

## Running 🏃‍♂️

In 2024 I trained harder than ever and ran my fastest marathon yet – 3 hours 32
minutes, my 10th marathon. I'm really proud of that. When I started with the San
Francisco Marathon in 2012, which was a brutal race, I never thought I'd run this
many. I've come to love running's peacefulness. I'm taking a break now, with no
plans for another marathon soon, to focus on other priorities.

## Study abroad reunion 🙂

We rarely plan reunions nowadays since everybody have their own travel plans. We
let things happen naturally. It's become more difficult as years go by. This was
expected.

## Writings 📝

I am experimenting writing in a private journal, but my blog still remains
online: <https://notyourtypicalasian.com>. I will come back to blogging at some
point in the near future.
