Almost a year ago, I wrote this post. And near the end of the post, I wrote this: .. So, I asked myself again. Do I really blog because I want to share the good things or for fame? What are my definitions of good blogger? Which one is more important to me, articles quality posts or articles quantity? Do I plan realistically or I just want to get to my destination as fast as I could? I haven’t found the […]

Pay the price
When we were a kid, how do we get money? Pocket money from our parents, right? A little background to share, I was raised in middle class family. My dad never spoiled us with neither toys nor clothes. Sometimes as a kid I always ask and wonder, why can’t I get that toys? My dad will say that you still have your toys and it’s still in good condition, why would I need another toys. Maybe my dad didn’t understand […]
Shut up, sit still and admit it!
Talking so much about positivity and to be an optimist, but there are times when you hit the bottom, you just can’t get your head straight. Yesterday, I just couldn’t think properly what should I do, my priorities were messed up. (Even I missed my blogging schedule). One tip from a friend, find out what is the main cause of it. Simple as it said but it’s pretty hard to get it done. Why? One thing that I can think […]
In finding passion [revisited]
[continuing one of my past post] On my previous post, I wrote about motivation and I feel that one of the element to keep motivated is knowing our passion. I wrote about this too couple of posts before. So, before going further about motivation, I’d like to revisit the passion topic. 2 questions that I often asked myself are: Is this truly what I like to do? Will I stretch myself, when it’s needed, to do this till the end? […]
Defining a perfect day in our life
How do you define a perfect day in our life? Let’s close our eyes, think about it for a second, and start to imagine it. (Okay you have 10 seconds before you continue.. Just kidding :)) A classical scenario for a girl could be, Wake up in the morning, make the bed, having breakfast with her love (or sometimes she just have breakfast outside; a small cafe nearby is nice). Make their own way, to work, or simply stays at […]
Connect the past to reach the future
Recently, I listened to Steve Jobs’ commencement speech at Stanford University graduation in 2005 again. I have listened to that speech many times, yet I still find it inspiring. (Some of my friends think that I’m such a Steve Jobs worshiper, oh well, I respect him with all his unique past ~ you’ll find different him by reading some books about him or watching “Pirates of the Silicon Valley”). Anyway, in this post in relation to my recent experience, I’d like to […]
In finding passion
In relation with my last post, especially the part when you need to know what is your profession means to you. Many people told me to find something that I like and make it as my job. At that time, I wasn’t really thinking what is the message behind it. After working in the industry I know what it’s like. (To think about it you may like to read this too.) Sometimes you just have a tough day. And one of many fuels […]
Lessons learned from Attention Please #2/2
Anyway, I wanted to write about this for last week post, but I was having 2 tests near the weekend so I was studying in panic (luckily, both are passed) and worried about my PR applications (yes I’m applying again, hopefully I can get it now). But since the story was too long to be in one post, so I decided to split it instead. Let’s continue…
