I heard this phrase before, but I didn’t really feel the impact until I’ve been in the situation of “no plan” Back then I usually like to plan ahead to the smallest detail and I.must.follow.it. If I didn’t tick 10 out of 10 items in my list, I feel that I fail. I was down and stress because of it. I used to set my daily steps goal to be 10,000 steps. However these days I find it so hard […]

describing a glimpse of kartika angkawijaya daily activity, some events which intrigue her thinker side trying to find out the answers for them
Crossing the line
Opportunity is like a door without a knob, sometimes you need someone to open it for you and you just need to dash through it. ちはやふる 結び Once again, this movie inspired me. Taichi felt that he’s stuck with his Karuta and intimidated by Arata and Chihaya. So, he decided to quit Karuta which he’s doing with Chihaya and went to a “journey” to discover himself like following another master in Karuta world. There is Taichi in us. That sometimes […]
Don’t sweat small setbacks
When you are starting something new, usually there are many “accidents”. And when you are having a few in a row, it is kind of not encouraging. Am I at the right path? Or should i just go back to where I was before? I’m trying to change my boys’ diet to raw, and now they are in transition from kibbles to wet food. Since 6 months ago, they were on few types of kibbles for ard 4 months. Now […]
Finding a buddy
Lesson learned this week is When the journey is long or uncertain, it is more bearable with buddy. I’m not a fan of running long distance. Maybe I had said it many times, I’ll say it again. However, I like it and yet I hate it. The serenity of running alone or listening to all the thoughts that came up during the run, is a very personal moment. I used to listen to music when I jog, but these days, […]
First time for something
I did it, I joined a race overseas. Well technically my first was Vietnam Mountain Marathon last year (or was it two years ago now?) And this time I joined a race in Warsaw. By accident. After visiting Germany for work, I’m going to be in Warsaw for a week for another work meeting. My colleague who went with me to Germany told me about the race, so after some thoughts and push from other running buddies, I decided to […]
The greener grass on the other side
This week in my Japanese class we were practicing about asking permission to be absent from work. And one of my classmates was saying how about if we want to request for more days to rest. Our sensei replied that human always wants something which they don’t have. Because you’re so busy now, so you want to have more breaks. But when you have long break, you will be quite likely wanting to go to work. Right? What’s your biggest […]
Nobody’s perfect
One of my classmates was making a sentence about bad habit and she mentioned about her team leader that always call for unnecessary last minute meeting and give unreasonable deadline. I think it’s not uncommon to be in her situation. Do you have similar experience? Back then during my junior days, I usually would just take it by myself, and as a result, I was stress as it’s build up. Then lately I decided to speak up more and discuss […]
Learning through experiencing it or doing it
There are two important lessons I received since last week. My dad always tells us, if you don’t experience it, good way or bad way, you won’t learn or remember it. For example, my brother in his younger days, he didn’t listen that to come down from a motor bike, do it from the left side because there is exhaust on the right and it’s hot. Yet he still came down from the right and as a result he had […]
