When we play a game, either it’s a puzzle game, strategy game, or RPG game, each time we complete one stage or level, the next one would be slightly more difficult than the previous one. Right? The same analogy with life. After you complete one stage in your life, the next one will be, most likely, more difficult. The challenge comes in different form. And the beauty of it is, you can never expect that you will get the same […]

Sometimes life will give you what you need and not what you want
If someone asked you, name 3 things that you want to have right now and it can be anything. What answer would you give? I’m sure, we have bottomless wishes or things that we want to have in life. Whether it’s a status, money or (maybe) someone? Maybe for us who watched Aladdin and the Genie too much, we will be clever enough to have some imagination to ask another 3 more wishes on our last wish. Anyway, when you […]
Will you hold yourself?
Being quite outspoken person, I tend to blurt out some comments when I see something is not right or when people make some biased statement. Maybe for some people they will think that I like to debate or challenge their opinion. But actually I merely can’t stand of knowing that some people are boldly making statement without knowing the entire story. Sometimes they just say “sorry”, but it doesn’t mean that it will always the fixer. Anyway, recently it happens […]
Let’s laugh for a while
Q: There is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10. Where is 9, why 9 is missing? A: Because 7 ate (8) 9 Q: Why you go to bed? A: Because bed will not go to you. Q: A drunkard speeds his car, there is old lady in the middle of the street, but the drunkard didn’t hit her. Why? A: Because it happens during the day. I know it’s not new jokes, and (a little bit) lame. […]
Out leash your energy
Everyone has a bad day. Whether it’s because of some impossible requests from your boss or colleagues that think changing some codes is as easy as changing clothes or simply everything you do just goes wrong, or because of some people doing simple stupid things that annoys you. My recent experience reminds me of a movie I watched few years back, Anger Management. So, here is 5 things that may help when we have that day. 1. Rant it to […]
If you have an iPhone
Have you heard about Apple new ads campaign, “If you have an iPhone”? If you haven’t, you can go to their website and check it out. I quite like the campaign, it’s fresh and sleek. That’s what I like Apple about, minimalist yet cool. Now, as I’m checking in too early to my Vietnam trip, the ad give me inspiration to write something 1. Listen to music I have stored lots of music before the trip, I have a thinking […]
In finding passion [revisited]
[continuing one of my past post] On my previous post, I wrote about motivation and I feel that one of the element to keep motivated is knowing our passion. I wrote about this too couple of posts before. So, before going further about motivation, I’d like to revisit the passion topic. 2 questions that I often asked myself are: Is this truly what I like to do? Will I stretch myself, when it’s needed, to do this till the end? […]
What motivates you?
Do you ever have some days where you just don’t want to do anything? I’m sure we do. On some point of time in our life, we have days when we are totally unmotivated. Regardless it’s about doing something that we are really like, for example in my case, blogging or taking pictures, or developing websites. (yes, I like to develop beautiful website but I have times when I feel scared and very unwilling to do it). I read quite […]
