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 […]

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 […]

Stay focus and be aware

Very recently I joined a workshop about brush lettering, which taught me about the basic technique and some applications to enhance the work or medium to work on.  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.

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 […]

A LIVE (Pt 2)

自分の価値気付かないのは、自分の認めないだけだろう If you fail to realize your value, isn’t it because you didn’t acknowledge it That’s what the main character told the other lead, after hearing that his justification why he behaved that way and did many things because he wants to be recognize by the people around him.

Are you ready?

I’m going to have my first run in 2017 and it is 21km. Yes.. half marathon. Usually I like to start slow (aka, shorter distance) but last year I received notification from 2XU about loyalty rates and their finisher tee in 2016 was nice, so, without further ado, I signed up for 21km.  I haven’t been running more than 15km before the actual day, and has been traveling as well. Doomed. I thought. Plus, 2 days before the race, there […]
