I'm a journalist working in New York, writing about Silicon Alley for the International Business Times.

Before moving to New York, I was an editor at city magazines in Seoul and Hong Kong, where I wrote profiles of artists, entrepreneurs and everyday expats.

No matter where I am, I enjoy talking to people about their deepest passions.


Vicente Fernandez — El Rey

Yesterday afternoon, on my 23rd birthday, my grandfather passed away. This was his favorite song, and he asked for it to be played when he died. Upon his wishes, my family listened to it before his body left the hospice facility. This was my grandfather—El Rey.

Yo se bien que estoy afuera
Pero el dia que yo me muera
Se que tendras que llorar.
(Llorar y llorar, llorar y llorar)
Diras que no me quisistes
Pero vas a estar muy triste
Y asi te me vas a quedar.

Coro:
Con dinero y sin dinero.
Yo hago siempre lo que quiero.
Y mi palabra es la ley.
No tengo trono ni reina.
Ni nadie que me comprenda.
Pero sigo siendo el rey.

Una piedra en el camino
Me enseno que mi destino.
Era rodar y rodar.
(Rodar y rodar, rodar y rodar)
Tambien me dijo un arriero
Que no hay que llegar primero
Pero hay que saber llegar.

Coro…
