So, this is it. We are at year end, or rather the last month of this year. It’s still first week, isn’t it? A little early to do it, no? This post will be a long one. As these are dedicated to few moments in 2017. Well, I think it’s never too early for anything, as having too much time sometimes make me procrastinate more. First, about fandom. Ever since I watched Thor Ragnarok, tumblr and Pinterest had sucked my […]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower
I thought this is a teen drama like Juno, but I was wrong. It was deeper than just a drama. This movie drew my attention while browsing what movie I should watch during flight to Shanghai because of Emma Watson and Ezra Miller. You know Emma Watson, but Ezra caught my attention because of The Flash in Justice League. And with Ant-Man inside too. There are many memorable lines, but there are two which I find very memorable: One, which […]
The essence for our growth
I: Isn’t it fun getting better at the job? C: it is I: isn’t that the main strand of your career that you’re getting better at the job C: well, it could only get better, it couldn’t get worse Inspiration of the week is a chat by Cate (C) Blanchett and Sir Ian (I) McKellen in Actors on Actors show (link) They were discussing about things they are not so good at (geez, they are so humble, o’rite). Cate replied […]
One thing that blogging helps me to be better is
The phone buzzed, a reminder to blog showed up. Ah, it’s time for it again. Sometimes I have the idea around mid week, and I started to write it, set it on schedule and when the reminder showed up, just ticked it, and I’m done. There are also days when I don’t have the idea until the reminder is showing. Or, on top of that, I have other commitments which made me unable to set aside a time to write. […]
A note from last week
I saw that pin from Pinterest app. And I’m amazed how coincidence it is because of what happened to me yesterday when I was in the middle of completing a race. Halfway mark I felt my legs were giving up. The talk by Simon Grimstrup when my friends and I were in Vietnam emerged from my mind. He said, usually he had 3 options in his head, option A is to complete the race within xx time frame, option B […]
To worry or not to worry
When did the last time you feel worry before you are about to do something? It could be something very important, and if you screw it up, it would be a nightmare. Or, it could be something you’re going to do for the first time. Well I still feel the butterfly in my stomach on D-1 of my race. Regardless the distance or the sports. But those tensions are more like a self-impose pressure. Without realizing, I put pressure on […]
Why do you need to train so hard?
I don’t like working up a sweat or out of breath, buuuuut.. I don’t dislike sharpening my skills and leveling up – Kozume Kenma, Nekoma High (Haikyuu!!) Immediately I screamed (silently) Kenma you’re my inner character. Well except I’m not any teams’ brain like him to Nekoma. He is depicted as quiet guy, absorbed in game, laid back personality and never gets excited. And he wasn’t into volley ball until his childhood friend and neighbor introduced him to the sport. […]
On meditation
I’ve been wanting to join a meditation journey after hearing one of my friend who often went for a week or two meditation retreat. Because he came back refreshed after the trip. My friend mentioned that in one of his trip, he was having walking meditation and I thought, how could you meditate while walking? But recently, I think that it is actually doable. Because during long running alone, I always have a good long talk with my mind and […]
