I just came back from my Japan trip last week. There were 4 of us, 10 days in Japan mostly Tokyo area and Mt Fuji. Personally, this trip has a deep meaning not only because I’ve been longing to go to Japan but also this is my first time to use the language I’ve learned for the past 2 years. You can’t lie to nature Persevere, persevere and persevere Those two are connected to each other. This trip has more […]

Saying grace
Last night we had a team dinner after a conference. One of my friend was in charge of the ice breaking game and it was giving a toast and appreciating why we know this person. Each person has a turn and we were paired randomly. When I heard someone saying for someone else this and that, I feel very good inside. You may ask “Why” since it’s not related with me, isn’t it? Well, it’s easy to remember all the […]
A talk with yourself
I know that lately I didn’t blog regularly and the main reason is I was busy both in work and personal level. I’m not trying to find excuses (well maybe a little, an effort to justify myself) but I find that I’m so busy to the extent I don’t have time to have a talk with myself. It’s good to be able to talk with yourself (not in the bad way though), since it helps us to sort out our […]
When you are angry with someone
Most of the times, when you are angry with someone and you can’t tell them for one or many reasons, you will feel that the anger consumes you from inside, which is not healthy for ourselves. Sometimes too, the other party may not feel our anger (not all people are born to be sensitive with others). They think that everything is okay, despite we show our sour face? Yes, we need to acknowledge that. So, back to the whatever reason […]
Lesson learned from One Piece
Sound very silly, but the recent inspiration I get is from a comic titled “One Piece“. 1. Never let go your dream People may laugh at you because your dream sounds impossible, but it’s up to you to believe your dream or you want to give it up. 2. You will not be alone in your journey Every dream will lead to a destination, and while having the journey to the destination you’ll meet a lot of people. Their […]
Learn something, learn more
There is a saying, never too old to learn anything, and I think, it sinks well in my personality. Even though I’m not in school or actively studying as full time student anymore, I’m still learning new things every now and then. It leads from my curiosity on certain things. I will spend time to research on it, discuss it with friends, admire it, then I usually ask myself “Shall I take it more seriously? Like by taking lessons?” And […]
Month of achievements
April is ending or you can say that let’s welcome May instead. Yup, it’s been a busy month for me. However, I need to celebrate 2 big accomplishments. One, I completed 2 full day guitar course. I never, officially, learn how to play musical instruments before. Despite I’m so skeptical that I’ll be able to play just by attending 2-days course, I decided to enroll anyway. My class was on 7 and 14. I think I mentioned it briefly how the teacher […]
We are who we are
Lacus to Kira: you are kind because you are, not because you are a coordinator. (Gundam Seed) There are situations when we did good things, we were scolded by others. Saying that we should not be that kind. (for whatever reason, maybe to bad people?) However deep in our heart, we feel that’s the right thing to do. And if we didn’t do it, we will feel even worse. I know it’s hard to describe the situation or rather abstract. But […]
