We often forget about things around us until we don’t have it. For example, when you’re away from home, you started to think about all the food or the items you can get easily on daily basis and then you don’t have access to them while you’re traveling. (Which happened to me as I’m currently traveling for work). Or, you may also miss someone (human or pets) whom you meet on daily basis, part of your routine, then you are […]

One step at a time
What happened to me last week reminds me of my mantra during running that always one step at a time. And repeat till you reach your goal. I recently rescued a kitty under my apartment. I’m not a rescuer. I just felt heart pain of the chase and war cry almost every morning. And now I’m looking her a home where she can feel relax and enjoy life. I watched other rescuers’ work through Instagram and it’s not easy. Sometimes […]
What’s your village?
There is a saying it takes a village to raise a kid, and I started to believe it too. Having 2 cats is nice, just that I keep missing my fur kiddos when I need to travel. Because I need to make arrangement for them. So I was helped by my mom, to take care of them. Or kind and trusted cat sitters, or boarders. They are my village when it comes to my fur kiddos. Or extended fur kiddos, […]
About humility and never give up
I attended a talk related to animal today and the speaker was mentioning that sometimes human is selfish and think highly of themselves. I bought this expensive stuff for you and you didn’t want to use or eat it. Well, as cat pawrent, that doesn’t sound new or surprising for me.. #catlogic The speaker said, if you pay attention closely and listen to them, sometimes what they really need is not complex or something luxury. That’s one of my thought […]
What you see, often, is just the tip of the iceberg
Sounds familiar? Or do you experience it? (From: Love for imperfect things. Penguin Random House. 2018) It can cause a great rift between friends, just because people are just comparing what they see from social media or forum or chat group. A friend used to tell me that someone was copying whatever they do in Instagram, blatantly in their face. Some said, imitation is highest form of flattery, but it can be annoying too. But again, at what cost we […]
Memorable lesson from the past
If you’re asked by your friend, what was the most memorable lesson which you learned recently, what would that be? For me, it’s classic lesson, never judge a book by its cover. I made new friends from cat community and I find that there are very positive people which I like to speak to. They always able to see the bright side of some mishaps. Which I think not many people can do it. For me, I tend to go […]
Have you tried..?
To eat tofu as onigiri stuffing? Is what my sensei asking in the class. We said we never try it. She said, go and give it a go. In life you need to challenge yourself, try something new or not common and decide it if it turned out good or bad. If it’s good, then you find a new thing to do or eat. If not, then try a new one. One of the thing makes me looking forward to […]
Thought of this week
Which has been lost and almost forgotten, because things popped up in the middle of something. Lately, it happened to me more and more often. I was doing something, then a good thought came in. As if, lesson learnt word flies by above your head and some voice overs start to tell you about it. If my life is going to be turned to be a movie, I’d like Morgan Freeman or Benedict Cumberbatch to voice it. Sometimes books are […]
