[discussion]: too busy with myself?

I’m trying to have some quiet time for myself every morning around 15 minutes. Or you can call it, I’m practising to meditate. I started to realise that every time I began my day with even just brief quiet time, I felt I can pass that day with peace. My current activities are shifting from job hunting to working preparation. Getting the employment permit done, looking for working shoes, reporting to my country embassy here, opening bank account, and many […]

Just to be..

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. […]

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 […]
