It’s almost 2 weeks ago since I started a new habit to wake up earlier and allocate some time to do some drills in the morning before taking shower. I have no issue waking up in the morning (most of the days) but there are times when I just want to play my game longer in the evening before going to bed. And I find it hard to wake up in the morning. So, there are times when I dragged […]

Perfect or working solution?
“I’m not aiming for a perfect solution but I’d rather have a working solution” is what my colleague told me based on his past experience, when I was discussing about project I’m leading. In my personal life context, I have to say that being a perfectionist (to some extent), I usually did a thorough research and compared different approach or products. But I also realize that often I called it off because I can’t accept available options, whether they are […]
Do you remember why you started something?
I went to another art class yesterday and this time is about learning watercoloring. And in the classroom there is a quote which was teacher Nat‘s work, Remember why you started It was beautifully written and decorated with her floral watercolor around it. I immediately withdrawn to it.
Awareness (continue)
In my swimming class, my coaches always asked what did I do and how did I do it or how I feel after some drills. They will still tell me if I couldn’t tell them maybe because I wasn’t aware or preoccupied with other things while doing it. They always emphasize that we need to be aware about what we do and remember the feel of it. When we remember it, we are conscious and as we practice more, the […]

We also learned about different pens and brushes. Looking back (way back..) I started to have interest with fonts (to extend almost like obsessed) when I started to my web developer path. But I wasn’t an art student. My brother was the one. Then I told my brother about my old new […]
May Favorite Actor: Hiroshi Tamaki
First blog post in May after series of miss in April is about Hiroshi Tamaki (玉木宏) or Tamakin. I was having dorama-rathon “Career” end of April while waiting to start my new role in a new place. It’s been awhile I haven’t been watching his drama. However, when I looked at his drama/movie list, I realised that I watched his work for quite many. It somehow reminds me 2 things although you were doing quite well in different areas or things, people around you probably […]
To be worried 悩む
As the day to start work in new place is approaching, I can’t help to feel worried. About I can work as they expect me to, or not. About my colleague, if I will make good friends again or not. I had 21km marathon today so with my tired brain and body, I decided to take it that Don’t let Worry Steal Your Joy
Look at people around you
and you’ll make your world wider. That’s what my sensei told us during class. She added, so when you’re on train, don’t just look down and listen to music. Look around and listen to your surrounding. Another student asked, how can we widen our world wider by doing that inside train? XD Sometimes I’m surprised with what sensei told us in class. She often said it jokingly, but I feel somehow it always reminds me about something which happens to […]
