I wrote that life can be described as playing Role Playing Games and the more I observed it, I can find more and more similarities between them. 1. Start from level 1 The first time we went to school, we just had few basic knowledge on us. The first time we had job, we need to be trained or do some self study for our job. We are all start from level 1. And we need to start from somewhere. […]

Attitude is a little thing that makes big difference
-taken from a reading while I’m on a bus to office- Everybody is the body of the team (work spirit) There is a story of 4 people name, everybody, somebody, anybody and nobody. There was an important job to be done and everybody was asked to do it. Anybody could have done it but nobody did it. Somebody got angry because of that, because it was everybody’s job. Everybody thought that anybody could do it, and nobody realized that everybody […]
Bitter medicine
No one likes to be criticized, in my opinion. While some people like to criticize others. Just take it with open heart. Although it’s not easy. Take it with a pinch of salt too. Some may be true. Maybe what they say is something that we overlook. Listen with your head, not your heart. If it’s true, accept it. If it’s not, take it as something passes by. – me

Buying iPhone app

If you can afford the car, it means you should be able to afford the fuel too. So, when you can buy the phone, shouldn’t you […]
Kindness and anger
When I was young, I was told to treat others like I want others to treat me. Along the way, I don’t see it that way. Doing something good to others doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll receive something good for others. However doing something bad, somehow reciprocal. You’ll get it for sure. I take it that everyone likes kindness so kindness takes longer time to return to you. Everyone likes it so they want to keep it. Unlike bad things, lets […]
When you’re angry
When either people or things are testing our patience. It’s easy to just vent it out. It’s a relief. Sometimes regret comes after. Because we can’t think clearly. Don’t deny it either. Because you’ll be more furious. Acknowledge it. And say, it’s okay, you’re worth more than this. What’s the big deal. Because there are other big thing which worth your attention and energy more. Be happy! Be peaceful!
Managing social media
“If you don’t know how to manage social media, doesn’t mean not using it is the only option that you have.” This post is my rant about some of my friends who refuses to use social media for example Facebook. Their reason is they don’t want to be “stalked” by certain people. And the reason of my rant is I’m puzzled with some of my special friends thinking; they make me spend more time in sharing photos, announcing events or […]
