Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life – by Steve Jobs. I’ve been using that quote as my email signature for quite sometimes since I know about it few years back. The rest of the sentences following those quotes are: Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage […]

on recent depression
a week that made me learn something sometimes we do not need to find reasons behind anything that happened to us and, something or someone to blame to when there is something wrong in our life because we need those pain, trouble, to grow. As someone like to describe it as growing pains.
my (not typical) weekend – final
On Sunday, It was 10 a.m when I came out from my bedroom. Ugh! I was the last one who woke up, almost. Apparently, I was the second. Well, I felt a bit weird when I woke up late, but anyway, these two days were really made me tired. Ironing the laundry form previous day and lucky me, it wasn’t that much. Hmm.. I suddenly feels like want to go to McD nearby, had a breakfast set and more precisely, […]
my weekend – part 2/3
On Saturday, Woke up at 9 a.m. boiled some water in the pot, I made myself a morning coffee. Hmm, it was a bright sunny Saturday morning, I had an idea! I headed back to my room and the idea was changing my bed sheets. I took off the old and put the new one, ran the washing machines with all week laundry. I grabbed the bread and sipped the coffee while waiting for the washing machine to finish. However, […]

Addicted to Lao Tzu
A few weeks a go, accidentally, I saw a paragraph of Lao Tzu quotes from one of the software I used in my Mac. I googled it – I believe that google is a verb now – that day and I couldn’t find it. Well, maybe I just didn’t put the right words. This Lao Tzu thingy leaded me to follow Lao Tzu twitter as well – even Lao Tzu has a tweet awesome hey? Today, somehow my curiosity emerged […]
Keeping a Journal
On facing my obstacles… There are many forms of obstacles in our life. And I believe that each of them is designed uniquely based on our needs. You can say it “haute couture”, a fashion term which means specially tailored to suit our needs. Until recently, I often think where am I going from this point of my life? Is that life is the life that I really want?
One of My Battlestar Galactica Favourites
Admiral Adama: In your opinion, off the record, what was Garner’s flaw? Major Lee Adama: He was used to working with machines. Command is about people. Admiral Adama: Remember that, as you take command of “The Beast” (Pegasus). Garner was my decision; his failures, my responsibility. Don’t let me fail a second time. Congratulations, Commander. Those are the dialogue form a TV series titled Battlestar Galactica – Reimagined Series, or fans usually call it as Battlestar RDM (Ronald D. Moore), […]
