Tribute to “Silence”

Kartika Angkawijaya — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 00:17:13 +0000

What would you do, when you have lots of things to do? I think, obvious answer would be, start to roll up our sleeve and do the work. If you read some of my posts, you know that complain or run away are not solutions. You can revisit those in here, here and here. How [...]

Capturing the best picture

Kartika Angkawijaya — Tue, 22 Jun 2010 04:00:15 +0000

As a refresher in between some personal development post I usually I write, I would like to share a story. Some weeks ago, I went to a short hike with group of friends. There were 6 of us, three girls and three boys. Almost all of us bring camera, from pocket camera to digital SLR [...]

The day when I didn’t get what I want

Kartika Angkawijaya — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:18:03 +0000

On many occasions in my life, I didn’t get what I want. Below are some of the big lost in my life (and some big found too). I hope you bare with me, since it’s going to be a bit long than usual and I hope that you can find these stories helpful. The story [...]

On setting a limit

Kartika Angkawijaya — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:27:12 +0000

I like one of the sport shoe commercial tag line, “Nothing is impossible. Impossible is nothing”. The tag line has been few years back though, I’m sure you know or ever heard about it. First of all, the story I wrote is for sharing purpose which inspired by my own situations. I’m motivated by the [...]

On shortening words

Kartika Angkawijaya — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:05:15 +0000

In my personal experience, writing in nice proper form also helps me to sort things out from my head. Like a brief pause. A pause to question myself. Do I really need to type this to my friend? Will the information be useful for them? Or we can say also a way to evaluate our thinking. Because when we’re such in a hurry, or maybe when some emotions are involved, we may say unnecessary things too..

my (most) favorite quote

Kartika Angkawijaya — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:09:34 +0000

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life – by Steve Jobs. I’ve been using that quote as my email signature for quite sometimes since I know about it few years back. The rest of the sentences following those quotes are: Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with [...]

on recent depression

Kartika Angkawijaya — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 02:05:10 +0000

a week that made me learn something sometimes we do not need to find reasons behind anything that happened to us and, something or someone to blame to when there is something wrong in our life because we need those pain, trouble, to grow. As someone like to describe it as growing pains.

my (not typical) weekend – final

Kartika Angkawijaya — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 11:45:37 +0000

On Sunday, It was 10 a.m when I came out from my bedroom. Ugh! I was the last one who woke up, almost. Apparently, I was the second. Well, I felt a bit weird when I woke up late, but anyway, these two days were really made me tired. Ironing the laundry form previous day [...]

Do nothing, nothing to do?

Kartika Angkawijaya — Tue, 27 Jan 2009 14:16:07 +0000

If someone asked me what were my activities for the whole day, then I may be confused about the answer. Why? Starts with my morning routine, woke up, washed my face and my mouth, drank some water, turned on TV, watched “Early Edition” back-to-back with “The Guardian”, had my breakfast. My mom asked me to [...]
