When resisting is not working
In: inspiration
10 Mar 2010What do I mean by resisting?

intransitive verb
: to exert force in opposition
transitive verb
1 : to exert oneself so as to counteract or defeat <he resisted temptation>
2 : to withstand the force or effect of <material that resists heat>
My version, to resist is not to acknowledge something which is [...]

What is your style?
In: personal
10 Mar 2010Lately, I’ve been into discussion with a friend about my blog. He recommended a blog to me to read the week before. The blog is written by Singaporean girl which is mainly describing her daily activities. Her language is light and simple; some of the story are funny and some are quite provoking but it [...]

28 Nov 2009Below is the dialogue excerpt between Ria Torres and Dr. Cal Lightman from one of the “Lie to Me” episodes I watched,
Lightman (L): Look, what do you wanna be when you grow up?

Lessons from life
In: inspiration
12 Nov 2009I feared being alone
until I learned to like myself.
I feared failure
until I realized that I only fail when I don’t try.
I feared success
until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself.
I feared people’s opinions
until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway.
I feared rejection
until I learned to [...]
On setting a limit
In: attitude
3 Nov 2009I 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 tag line [...]

On shortening words
In: attitude
19 Oct 2009In 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..

Embracing new journey..
In: personal
17 Oct 2009I’ve been doing this for how many times. Add this, remove that, edit this code, remark that code, change the link here and there. I always like to do same things in a different way.
Used to do it in my local hard drive until I really satisfied with the new look, then upload it to the Internet. But I guess, the condition is a bit different now. Singapore has a faster Internet connection compared to my own country Indonesia. Thus, doing a small renovation live is quite enjoyable somehow.

In: attitude
28 Sep 2009Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life – by Steve Jobs.

Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results [...]

my (not typical) weekend – final
In: personal
13 Sep 2009On 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 and lucky [...]
