That’s the lesson this week. As a result, jaded and mentally tired me. Also, I tend to be more judgy towards things I see or hear. When you’re new to a group of people and you admire someone but the interaction happened one sided from your side, then it’s kinda tiring after sometime. I guess being part of community is good as you won’t feel alone in your journey. But sometimes it can be overwhelming. I didn’t realize it at […]

describing a glimpse of kartika angkawijaya daily activity, some events which intrigue her thinker side trying to find out the answers for them
悔しい (ku.ya.shi.i)
The dictionary translate it as vexing, annoying, frustrating, regrettable, mortifying I feel the translation is not hitting it 100%, but I’ll stay with frustration for now. Recently I went back to watch Gundam series in their YouTube channel (gundam.info) because I find it convenient to just click and watch from YouTube. In one of the episodes, the main character was having a dilemma after defeated by strong enemy. Then one of the role model characters told him, if you just […]
Does it really worth the effort?
In relation to my rescue, June, we went to adoption drive hoping to find her a good home. As I’m not a rescuer, more like accidental one because of her, I asked around few people about what needs to be done and so on. And it feels like opening a new world to me. Different groups or individual apparently different standard. There is no best practice. So I take all the inputs with open mind, evaluating the pro and cons […]
Procrastination
I have 2 weeks due of post which I haven’t done. If I finished this one, then I’m one behind. It’s a target I set to myself that I should do it weekly as reflection and appreciation of things happened to me that week. It’s a good memory as well when you’re flipping back the old books. Ah, this was happened during this time. It’s like Facebook Memory who give you pops up, what happened that day. Sometimes I simply […]
One step at a time
What happened to me last week reminds me of my mantra during running that always one step at a time. And repeat till you reach your goal. I recently rescued a kitty under my apartment. I’m not a rescuer. I just felt heart pain of the chase and war cry almost every morning. And now I’m looking her a home where she can feel relax and enjoy life. I watched other rescuers’ work through Instagram and it’s not easy. Sometimes […]
What’s your village?
There is a saying it takes a village to raise a kid, and I started to believe it too. Having 2 cats is nice, just that I keep missing my fur kiddos when I need to travel. Because I need to make arrangement for them. So I was helped by my mom, to take care of them. Or kind and trusted cat sitters, or boarders. They are my village when it comes to my fur kiddos. Or extended fur kiddos, […]
On being busy
I read somewhere some time ago that when we don’t have time for something, we will say we are busy. Which also means, it’s not in our priority anymore. Or our priority changed. I don’t quite understand or relate to it back till recently. Some of the differences like I like to spend times outside trying new things, with just stay at home relaxing. Or assembling my model kit versus giving attention to my cats. Going out with some people […]
On recent trip to Japan
Trip to Japan is always a fun trip for me, unless you’re traveling with travel buddy from hell. So far, I’ve been traveling with 2 different (group of) friends, alone for business trip and with my brother. Most of them are quite okay.. (not all) It reminds me that it’s good to go with people similar interest. Otherwise, the trip will be not enjoyable. Or rather, would be better to travel alone. Is it scary to travel to Japan alone?
