In order to give it all on the things you want to do, you also must give it all on the things you don’t want to do. Recently I’m hooked to this manga about Karuta (カルタ). I’m surprised that this is considered as sport and people are taking it seriously. You can find more history about Karuta from wiki. Although I’m learning Japanese, I know nothing about classic Japanese poem. This manga explain it in a way that making it […]

Simple things done awesomely made my day
This week I was having few days off because of work transition. I thought it’s gonna be a relaxing week for me. However, voila.. seems like there are things to do. From settling some house repairs, medical check up until going to Batam for banking related stuffs. I guess I kind of understand when my mom is somehow always so busy. There is no way to finish the work. For example, although you did your laundry, there is still one […]
Laugh it out
When did the last time you hear a cold jokes and laughing out loud? Maybe I’m too used to with my sensei’s cold joke as I’ve been following her class for more than 4 years, but I think that to have ability to see things in slightly less serious way is necessary. She always has very interesting angle to see things which she heard from News or the Internet. Sometimes it’s really a refreshing angle but there are times it’s […]
Playing would you rather with myself
Passing half way mark to 21km this morning, I was playing a game with myself, “would you rather…”. Because I feel that I have not enough prep or whatsoever so I literally dragging my feet one step at a time. So, since I have lots of time, at one point, I played it with myself. Basically it’s comparing A and B, if I chose A then I need to pick a new B, and vice versa. One of them was […]
Mosquito teacher
In one of Ajahn Brahm past talk, he mentioned that when mosquito is buzzing around you, disturbing your sleep and so on, they are doing a favour to teach us something. You can read the talk here. In which reminds me of one of my fur boys. I still keep in touch with the shelter owner to update her about the situations I’m facing and she said he taught me a lot. I second that statement. I never have a […]
Just try it
This is the third week since I adopted two cats, and I felt they had been with me longer than that. I don’t know why.. Maybe I have been intense experience for the first two weeks and now gradually started to adjust to a rhythm which works for three of us. I actually forgot that they are still adjusting to me, my place and their new life too. Only when my friends started to say, they just three weeks with […]
Run it out, eh, sweat it out
A wise friend always advises me (and other friends) when you’re in doubt, or doesn’t feel well, or basically when you have something troubling your mind, go for a run. I always reply, I’d rather do something else than that. However, I have to admit that sometimes it’s easier to just put on your sneakers and run, whether it’s a slow one or fast one, or perhaps just do a walk. (Depending on the degree of the matters, I find […]
A new catventure
I know I owe a post from last week, and while writing half way (it’s still in my draft) Sunday is here again when I need to post a new one for this week. So this week post is gonna be longer than my usual post, to make up last week post. One main reason why i didn’t manage to finish the last week one was I went to a shelter and adopted 2 cats. I never owe any pets […]
