Be Well Be Happy Be Safe Be Willing Be Able Be Loved Be Wild Be Helpful Be Yourself and through it all, just remember to JUST TO BE Those words were on my farewell card from one of my best friends Maree from Australia. I met her for the first time from Monash International Student Friendship Program. The Monash staff, Renee, matched us up because we live on the same road differs by blocks. She told us that ours is […]

Inspire and inspiration
These are inspirational quotes that I found from a site (which is I forgot ^.^). I hope can inspire you though The universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes–every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man. […]
Some motivational quotes…
If people are coming to work excited . . . if they’re making mistakes freely and fearlessly . . . if they’re having fun . . . if they’re concentrating doing things, rather than preparing reports and going to meetings – then somewhere you have leaders. – Robert Townsend When he reached the New World, Cortez burned his ships. As a result his crew was well motivated. – The Hunt For Red October We know nothing about motivation. All we […]
Do nothing, nothing to do?
If someone asked me what were my activities for the whole day, then I may be confused about the answer. Why? Starts with my morning routine, woke up, washed my face and my mouth, drank some water, turned on TV, watched “Early Edition” back-to-back with “The Guardian”, had my breakfast. My mom asked me to be alert if there is someone deliver the food, which means I need to pick it and pay it. I was thinking to go swimming […]
Addicted to swimming
These days I spent quite some time for swimming. No particular reason besides to keep healthy. I used to go to spinning class while I was in Melbourne studying. However, gym membership fee is quite expensive in my hometown, not within fair comparison with the salary. Anyway, I’m not a swimmer back then. I learn swimming while I was in Melbourne too. It was during summer early 2008. Summer in Melbourne is hotter than summer in my country, moreover it’s […]
Future
未来(みらい) the Japanese word for future, the post title Recently, I read one of the Ajahn Brahm writings in his book, Opening the Door for Your Heart, which discusses about fear. He opens the topic with this sentence, Fear is finding fault with the future. If only we could keep in mind how uncertain our future is, then we would never try to predict what could go wrong. Fear ends right there. I’m pretty sure some of us will think very […]
Learning about priority…
I was absent writing for three days and within that span, I faced one of my biggest fears. Trying my best to get a job. This is started on Monday evening, I received a notification about phone interview, to determine whether I’ll be needed to fly over for the second test – technical test or not. If I passed this, it’s like half way to go – for my next job. I was so exciting about it, since I sent […]
Dare to be different?
Still related to my previous post, about being realist or idealist, now I was asked this question, do I brave enough to be different? It is my nature to deeply think about something, even I often had some sleepless nights when something important was coming closer and closer. I used not to be like that, but just different symptomps haha :p. When I was junior high and senior high, I tend to be nervous till I can’t think clearly. As […]
