I started to give myself a 52 week challenge 4-5 years ago because I want to challenge myself to do something consistently. It started with the popular challenge in the Internet, saving the money as big as the week number, week 1 is $1 and so on. Then I expanded it to blogging and taking photo with Luffy too. I concluded the saving money challenge 2 years ago, because I find I didn’t really save them from my weekly allowance, […]

Playing it according to your strength
Is what came to my mind this week. It was started with my frustration to get 130 combo in Tsum Tsum game. After doing some research, the mission is only achievable if I use certain character. Early March, during the international women’s day, one of the speakers also brought up this topic. That we are not cheating, or stereotyping just that we are doing best what we can. She mentioned that if men has more physical strength by nature, by […]
Why I don’t have/be like … ?
Sounds familiar? When I look at others, that question pops up. Also often followed by “how to be …?” or “how to get it?” But it takes away our happiness on appreciating what we have currently. And less grateful too. Don’t you think? Sometimes it’s not just about us, maybe also about our kiddos too. Like we have expectation on them, comparing them to others. While actually they are fine as they are. So, that’s this week quick thought. Let’s […]
Disconnect to connect
Now every weekend my iPhone gives me a report on how long my screen time is. And some days I have Instagram on top of the list or some days I have Whatsapp. But mostly, it’s either work app or social media app. Even at home, I still glued to my phone running errands, like online shopping for groceries and other items. I can do almost all of my work stuffs from phone too. With exception of creating document or […]
Doing nothing
I watched “Christopher Robin” on my way to Warsaw and one sentence which memorable to me was Doing nothing often leads to the very best something Have you watched the movie? If you haven’t, please go watch it. If you had, don’t you think what happened to Christopher Robin is something we can relate as an adult? The way Pooh said it, in soft manner, make it more impactful. We are kind of easily trapped in day to day routine […]
About worry
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. […]
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 […]
