Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy. Leo Buscaglia That what I was being reminded recently. There are many things in my mind which makes me worry. And sometimes to the extent of panicking. For example, I always get the pre-trip jittery bug. Back then was more on if I pack enough, if I forgets anything and so on. These days, arrangement for my cats, are they going to be fine or not. […]
Year: 2019
Just keep trying
This week I saw two similar posts in Instagram story one is by @no_eye_shadow and @twomanylegs which were sharing about two cats, Rosa and Ruru that both of them are feisty and don’t like to give up when it comes to try something new. They will keep trying and trying. For example when the resident cats didn’t welcome them initially. Ruru will sulk for awhile, then he will be back to his usual self. I hope I can be more […]
Catching up with old pals – books
Since last week I’ve been spending times in my hometown for Lunar New Year. And it also means that I have time to catch up with some books (and manga) I had in my room. “Don’t sweat small stuffs at work” is not a newly bought book but rather a book I bought more than 10 years ago. And it was the translated version. There was a few pages and points which resonates with me lately, and gave me some […]
Lost track of time
My usual schedule for blog post is over the weekend, which either Sat or Sun. However, this week I took some time off from work to celebrate Lunar New Year in my hometown . Happy New Year! Finally the year starts! Hehe.. The first few days, I felt like has been shot by a tranquilizer dart. Despite has been getting solid 7h sleep, I still feel sleepy in late afternoon. Perhaps, I have too much sleep debt? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ My brain […]
How much time do you have for …
Have you asked yourself this question before? For example, how much time you have for reading? Or for exercising? And so on. In Twitter, one of my favorite writer always put a remark x mins reading in his tweet, followed by the blog link. This is not new. Just that it resonates with me recently. At work, I discovered how to use Tempo with JIRA, which is a tool to track your time working on something. And these two things […]
Challenge or chore
This month, I’m taking a challenge created by one of my friends, to log 50km in a month. I just agreed to it without thinking as a result, and find halfway that it’s very hard to accomplish. Then I find it more as a chore because I hate to not complete it, while it’s too much stretch for me to complete it. Later I do my math, that in average, I ran short 1-2km mid week and 5km on weekend, […]
Tidying up
This week I saw in my Facebook feed that my friends were sharing about KonMari. Perhaps because she made appearance in Netflix or it’s near Lunar New Year which generally associated with spring cleaning. I read her books around 2 years ago, it was so easy to read and enjoyable reading material. I’ve been trying to do my share bit by bit too since then. Then it came down to me that actually it’s not just about possession. But also […]
First thought in this week
This year, I’m setting the reminder to blog and to post Luffy’s photo a day earlier on Saturday. This is the first weekend and I’m already facing thought block. What should I write this week? What lesson I learned recently? Recalling back the week which just passed, it was a short week due to New Year day was on Tuesday, and I took a day off on Monday. I like it very much because I don’t have the feel of […]
