Habit is an action that we do it repeatedly over and over again and often. Sometimes we don’t realize that we have this habit until someone comes to us and points out our habits.

The office or studio is like a black hole where times and lights are not exist. We even don’t know what makes nothing done though we had spent hours and feel tired at the end of the day.
Each time you have plan to go to new cities, you find yourself sitting on the desk making an itinerary what buildings you should see in the city, and calculate the itinerary very carefully so that you won’t miss any building.
Most people don’t know that being an architect is hard, so we deserve a coffee break few times a day.
A non-architect person would always find you touching gently the walls, floors, and columns.
Our metal ruler can magically disappear every five minutes and right when we need it.
The same case happened with our scale ruler, but it disappears more often than the metal ruler.

A 30 dollar-pen or more is just your regular buying.
You always have a thinking that the average people have less taste compared to your taste.
You don’t realize you’re talking in architectural language until your non-architectural friends look at you unsympathetically.
It is because you think one layer is not enough for creating a great design.

Every year you always determine to do something different, but in the end your resolution will be failed because of your poor time management.
You have a tendency to include famous building in your profile picture, so that people can see how beautiful the building is and how great you are for having the building as a profile picture background. However, at the end of day you feel disappointed because your non-architect friends don’t get the meaning.
You don’t care what people think about you because you’ve been busy staring the buildings in a loving way.
