describing a glimpse of kartika angkawijaya daily activity, some events which intrigue her thinker side trying to find out the answers for them
Learning from our younger self
I like putting my thought into something; I draw or write almost on any medium and most of the time I didn’t realise it until the time I need to tidy up my stuffs. One of my favourite activities when I go back to my hometown is to find my old notes and read it. I find it interesting, not only because I wrote them in English as a practice (you can imagine how bad it was) but also the […]
My JLPT N2 result – 日本語能力試験N2の結果
I saw my friend’s post about the test result and I was, dang, is it the time to check the online result already? And here is mine Yes, I fail the test. I didn’t pass the individual band passing score for reading (man.. I should say I’m lucky? That I didn’t get 0. I need to read more and don’t be a lazy reader Kartika; read it throughly) and grammar. (Which I don’t surprise because I still rely on my […]
Happy new year!
How was your 2014? Was it good? Was it a rocky one? Are you doing a reflect back to your 2014? Or you don’t bother? What is your plan in 2015? I opened my 2014 checklist and I ticked 4 out of 7 items. I didn’t manage to do 3 things, update this blog and page for iPhoneography regularly, and learning new sport (diving) and the stretch mission, learning a new knowledge related to work. What 2014 had taught me […]
Lesson from life

It’s either you accept them as they are or leave them. The challenge is if you’re working with them for accomplishing a project as a volunteer (unlike in work environment where people has more commitment to it). But, I’ll take it as […]
Stay on track
Mid year review is coming! How’s your year looking? So far so good? Do you have to make extra turns? Or were you forced to make detour? I thought that I’m doing good so far until when I opened my list and start to compare it. When we are too living in the moment, it’s quite easy to follow the crowd and forget that’s not the place we want to go. Well, at the end of the day, these what […]
Am I too late?
Are you enjoying what you’re doing now? Is that what do you want to do the most? If what you’re doing now is not what you want to do in your life, how do you feel about it? Do you feel it’s a chores or actually you’re enjoying it? Well, I’m sure that everyone has their reason why choosing to be in the current situation. There are times when we make some compromises about what we want to do. For […]
Key learning from my recent Japan trip
When people asked me when did I start to study Japanese? I can’t remember it well until when I found my school receipt. It was dated 2010. One of the most frequently asked question in class is why do you study Japanese? I still remember the reason vividly. So that I’ll be able to watch J-dorama (Japanese drama series) without subtitle. Having lived outside Japan, we need to depend on the community to provide the subtitle for the drama. These […]
