Recently I listened to a design talk, one of the speaker begins her presentation with a slide titled, “Remember why you are here”. And following that title, there is a sentence, “I started this field because I’m passionate about [blanks]” This brought my memory back to a book I read in the past, a self help book on to find joy about your work. I’m sure working can be exciting to us yet horrifying to some of us. It’s either […]

Daily inspiration, find one every day
Question to self: What is inspiration? What inspires you every day? What are the thing that you find inspiring? Do you think inspiration takes an important place in your life? I found this poster somewhere in the internet two days ago and it made my day. I hope it inspire you too. Happy weekend.
Run, Temple Run
Keep running.. When there is an obstacle, jump over it; Where there is a gap, jump at the right time; When there is no path ahead, make a turn; When everything is getting faster, keep your head cool to decide your action wisely; When there is some helps, grab it; That’s how you score well in Temple Run. PS: this game made me addicted to keep playing it despite after few meters I have slipped into a pit […]
Never satisfied
When we are busy, we want some free time to do things we want to do; When we are free, we forgot to do that and busy looking for something else; When we are alone, we want someone or some friends or family to be around; When we are with them, we neglected them and acted like we didn’t need them.
Are you interested or..?
Interesting quote I read this week from Ken Blanchard is: “There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” After reading those, suddenly learning foreign language popped up in my head. I have been learning Japanese for about a year or more, and recently I also enrolled myself into a Korean class. So am I just interested or […]
Have a little adventure
If someone asked you, how have you been? What is your answer? Good? Not bad? Excellent? Normal? That question is very common to be asked when you meet your friends at early of the week or after you haven’t seen them for awhile, right? Most of people will start to complain when they feel life is picking on them. Some start to complain, some start to be ignorance. I stumbled into a good post, an inspiring life lesson from Bruce […]
Thoughts on other things
On being surrounded by non-geek people, In a way, it accentuates my personality. I’m different, or special. Imagine a scene from The Big Bang Theory where I’m the girl and my friends are the guys, just that it’s the other way around now. On interest to technical stuff, I got it from my dad, I think. I remember that I’m playing with TMNT or Tamiya or BB gun while I was kid rather than Barbie dolls. I played with lead […]
Thoughts on Apple
On remembering Steve Jobs, I remember the first time I heard about his name was after I graduated. A lecturer in campus showed his commencement speech in Stanford. I already felt that his speech was inspiring, really. I couldn’t imagine how thy speech can influence me so deep in the future. On knowing my campus is part of Apple campus, I know that Apple stuff is pretty unaffordable in Indonesia. Unless you make a fair earning. Last time I visited […]
