(World's First Starbucks, Pike Place Market - July 2008)

I still remember my first trip here six years ago (?). Back then I didn't even know the difference between latte and cappuccino. These have been incredibly eventful years of my life. I fell in love with Seattle from the first trip. And it just keeps me coming back here.

After all, life is an amazing lesson to learn. When you're down, soak it in the moment - just be as sad as you can be, don't avoid the truth because you won't feel it enough to learn any lesson. Then, keep your head up and focus on the future. When you're up, don't be too careless - downturn may just be at the next corner that you never expected. When you're agitated, keep yourself out of anger - it does not do anything but bad to yourself. When you find someone, do one of the two things: grab hold if that's the one, or stop wasting time if not.

Just wanted to say that I'm grateful for every moment and I'm going to cherish it...
