HAPPY FATHER'S DAY YOUNG IK SUH
Its father's day. A special day for me this year, and in fact every year.
My dad, Young Ik Suh has had an amazing life and has inspired and done some great things for so many people.
When I analyze my personality to his... we seem so different. He is a powerful man, a person of few words until the words need to be said. He like to stay quiet to hear every one's point of view, but in the end, his always come through loud and clear with so few words.
He is very generous man, but he is a firm believer in kindness, fairness, modesty and justice and has told me always to stay away from people or places that don't believe in these things. These are hard things to remember when you are teen seeking fun in the suburbs, a ambitious young professional in New York trying to get ahead at conde nast and all its slippery and tempting ways, or even now, as a grown woman driving on Wilshire in afternoon hectic traffic having to deal with some mean ass drivers and reminding myself that road rage is not worth the energy.
I do see a few things that I got from my dad...its the fairness thing. I don't lie, steal, cheat or turn someone down if they need help... unless they lack the qualities that are deserving and are self centered. If someone is being thrown under the bus, and I can help it, I am the person that will come in and make an ass out of myself to help that person much like he would. I thank him for a fearlessness that he has given to me.
That is why most of us love our dad's I guess. They have a little voice in our heads that guide us to be good.
TV REPAIR IN LA
Johnny's TV Repair. They come to your home. 323 660 9900
(HD tv'd, Plasma's, old tv's, VCR's, DVD's, Camcorders, turntables, amplifiers, CD Players...)
I always have something that needs to be fixed in my apt and it will sit there for about a month or two before I get to it.. My Flat Screen TV was acting up the last few weeks, and because I have recently become very addicted to a show called the Voice, this was a priority.
I realized that I always buy new things when something is broken rather than taking the time to fix it...a new years resolution I made this year not to do.
I googled TV Repair LA, and found Johnny's TV Repair. They got to my house in 45 minutes, and man in his early 20's came with a clip board and a box, and greeted me very professionally with assertiveness. He was fast, quiet, and gave me an amazing quote of $150. Afterwards, he gave me reciept, told me there was a 120 day guarentee.
I asked his name, so that I could call the manager to give him a good rec. He told me that he and his dad owned the business and that there was no need to call. When I went to tip him $20, he refused it and said that it was a quick fix, and that it was unnessarry due the ease of the repair. I love this company. More people should hire these guys.

COOL THINGS I FOUND AT CB2
I might refresh my apt a bit and get a few new items to refresh my place. When its time, I got to TINI first, an online chic used furniture store that my friend ALexis owns, then Gilt Group, then CB2, and then in August, all the furniture sales that go on on Beverly Blvd.
Here are some CB2 items that seemed cool to me. I particularly like the bike basket $15, Red side table $200, wood dining table $350, red wall bookshelf $230, red credenza $500, and Yellow canary candleholders $7.

SUMMER TIME FLORALS
HIP TABLE LAMPS
Sometimes a room needs a slight change. I think that the lamps or pillows are the fastest way to change a room vrs buying new expensive pieces. I like these inexpensive lamps...$129. They are a knock off of Jonathan Adler capri bottle lamps that go for twice the price. Check them out by clicking on the title above.
