Graff
It’s an exceptionally luxurious Graff ring. I’ve been wearing it for two years, and I still haven’t gotten tired of it.

How deep is the grief of losing the person you shared your life with?
How devastating is the loss of a spouse you've shared your life with for at least 20 years? I once read in a magazine that it is considered the greatest psychological pain a human being can experience
Especially couples who truly loved each other. Imagine spending a lifetime trusting one another, encouraging each other, and being each other's greatest source of strength. If one of them were to die first, I think it would be the greatest tragedy a person could ever experience.
The reason I wrote this is to share in the grief, and also to remind people that the time we have with those beside us is not unlimited. Please encourage those who take their loved ones for granted—spending time on their phones or distracted by other things even while they're together—to cherish the moments they still have. One day, those ordinary moments may become the memories they miss the most.
If I had to describe the greatest pain, I think it would be the feeling of losing the universe you built together.
A lifetime of shared experiences—laughing, crying, talking for hours, and creating countless memories. Sometimes they remembered the things you had forgotten, and you remembered the things they no longer could. Together, you carried each other's lives.
To me, this is the greatest pain a person can endure.
Take Francis Ford Coppola, for example. During the making of Apocalypse Now, he and his wife spent nearly four years together in the jungles of the Philippines while the film was being made. The production pushed them to the brink of financial ruin because of the enormous sacrifices they made for the film. Yet despite everything they endured together, she was the one who left first.
No matter how much money you have or how little, no matter how high or low your social status may be, this is something none of us can escape.

Honda Forza 350: A Review After 160,000 km
After riding my 2022 Honda Forza 350 for 160,000 km, I eventually had to scrap it. Overall, I believe the bike can easily reach 200,000 km if it's properly maintained.
One thing I strongly recommend is replacing the starter motor at around 100,000 km. Doing so can help prevent starting issues later on.
The main reason I scrapped my bike was a problem with the CVT/drivetrain. In my case, I think it was caused by riding the bike too aggressively. From my experience, the Honda Forza 350 does seem to have a weak point in the drivetrain.
To help prevent drivetrain problems, I recommend keeping the engine speed below 6,000 RPM during normal riding whenever possible.

Does everyone feel kind of the same way I do?
Lately, when movie stars I loved as a kid pass away, it leaves me feeling strangely down. Robert Redford, Gene Hackman, Diane Keaton… even though I never knew them personally, it feels like a certain chapter of my life is quietly closing. How do you guys feel about it? I remember the films my father showed me when I was young — Annie Hall, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It feels almost like an old friend has disappeared from the world.

What is the average lifespan of a Honda PCX125?
It’s a 2019 model and it currently has 180,000 km on it. I changed the engine oil every 2,000–3,000 km and always used high-quality oil. Around what mileage do these engines usually fail?

A living legend
Three years ago, I met a legend on a film set. Most of the crew on that project were veterans with around 20 years of experience, and the moment people heard that photographer Wing Shya was coming from Hong Kong, everyone got excited like kids. The younger staff members probably didn’t fully understand why we were so hyped, but for a lot of Asians working in film and visual arts, we grew up watching the movies of Wong Kar-wai. Hong Kong was one of those dream destinations we all carried in our heads at some point.
At the time, I had just come back to Korea after finishing a shoot in Russia when the director told me Wing Shya was coming. I immediately canceled my schedule and went to meet him. He was born in 1964, but honestly, he looked unbelievably young for his age. He had long straight hair, a vintage black T-shirt, and this youthful energy in his eyes and overall presence. What surprised me even more was how tall he was. He looked around 180 cm, and even though I’m 176 cm myself, the height difference felt pretty noticeable.
Luckily, I got to talk with him a few times, mostly about cinematography and shooting. I also had the chance to watch his working style from less than two meters away for hours. Since I studied film photography too, it was a really unforgettable experience for me personally.
He was also working with two incredibly skilled professional assistants. The way they handled and loaded film was insanely smooth — it honestly reminded me of John Wick manipulating firearms in the movies, the same kind of precision and speed.
Anyway, he signed a photo for me that day. I thought I had lost it, but today — three years later — I randomly found it inside an old bag. So I went out and bought a beautiful high-end vintage frame that’s over 40 years old and carefully framed it.

When I watch this drama, I keep finding myself thinking of those kinds of neighborhoods from the 1990s—especially scenes where a winter rain is falling, and the whole town feels a bit eerie and slightly gloomy. What about everyone else?

Hi guys, I’m planning a Eurasian trip with my wife.
We’re thinking of starting in Japan, taking a ferry to Korea, then riding through Russia all the way to Morocco.
When I was much younger, I actually did the exact same route on a 100cc scooter. I was in my early 20s back then, so I guess my body could handle it. But after finishing the 4-month trip and returning to Japan, my neck, knees, lower back, and shoulders were completely wrecked—and honestly, I still haven’t fully recovered.
This time, I’ll be traveling with my wife, so I’m trying to make a much smarter choice.
Right now, I’m deciding between the Honda Forza 350 and the Yamaha XMAX 300. I’m also planning to upgrade the suspension (front and rear), so I’d really appreciate recommendations not just for the scooter itself, but also for suspension setups.
Ideally, I’d love to take something like an X-ADV 750, but since I’m planning to sell the bike in Africa and take a cruise back to Japan, I feel like a more affordable 300cc scooter makes more sense.
For reference, I’m 176 cm and my wife is 173 cm.
What would you recommend for this kind of long-distance trip? And what suspension upgrades would you suggest?
