To find that we have so much

Count what you have now Don’t count what you don’t have Find that you have so much Those words are from opening song of Japanese drama titled “Around 40“. The title of the song is Shiawase no Monosashi (幸せのものさし) by Takeuchi Mariya (竹内 まりや). What I like about this song is, the melody is quite bright and the words are very encouraging. About the drama, it’s light and entertaining. It’s about some women in their 40s with their different lifestyle […]

DOCTORS Saikyou no Meii: side note

Side note: I suddenly remembered a quote from XXXholic manga by Clamp: “There is no such thing as a coincidence in this world. There is only the inevitable.” I’m wondering why would I watch this show after completing two dramas related to doctor and hospital, yet I’m drawn into another one (しょうがないかなぁぁ。。). Or, was I randomly watching, whatever show is available in Viki? Though, the main actor, 沢村一揆 (Sawamura Ikki), was also in 続。星の金貨 (this drama is his debut!) and 7月24日通りのクリスマス (Christmas on July 24th Avenue). Since […]

To run away or not to run

Continuing last post, the second statement that I like from the drama is, “Rather than change the place, isn’t it easier to join another hospital?” – Minagawa Kazue (an eye opener statement) Does it sound familiar to you? When we are working for a company or another person, those conflicts are inevitable. We may have some principle or preferred method which differs to management or higher up. And after some times, when we are tired we decided to run from […]

Are we making excuses for ourselves?

I have 2 favorite quotes after watching a Japanese drama. The title is “DOCTORS: 最高の名医“. First is, “Statistic is just an excuse for doctor to hide from the patient. And saying “it’s usually like that ..” too ” – Sagara Kosuke Sagara Kosuke is the main character in the drama with some “unique” characters. I think sometimes we are trying to justify our failure by finding supporting facts which align with our facts. Do you think so? Hmm.. I think I did in the […]

Latest obsession

In my last post I mentioned that I had a drama marathon recently. Actually I’m still having it till now. To be more precise I’m watching it because of one actor (who is it?). It was all started because of 1 song, 逢いたくて今 (Aitakute Ima) by 대성 (Daesung) from 빅뱅(BIGBANG) member (MV). Yes, he’s a member of a Korea boyband but he’s having a Japan solo activities at this moment. And, it wasn’t his original song, but it was a cover, from […]
