Today I had two appointments at home, to do some air con maintenance and to get kitchen window repair. The original schedule was the kitchen window repair will start at 9am then the air con service will start at 10am. Suddenly it came to my mind, how to handle my two boys when the window is gone and when the aircon is on cleaning. Panic! I texted my friend regretted that I should have asked help to manage the boys. […]
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 […]
1 min reading: to be grateful
I have twitter account for following 2 kind of accounts, industry related and things I care like web development or design, and people whom are inspirational. I barely tweet like some of my peers, but sometimes I retweet other person tweet when I see it good. This week post is 2 days late because I was lost of words and my mind was still trying to digest what happened to my hometown Surabaya over the weekend. I checked my twitter […]
How did your week go?
Do you remember how your week just went? Do you remember it roughly or do you remember it all the details of each day? I usually think that my week begins with Monday and ends with Sunday. I have my Japanese class on Sunday. Usually my sensei like to ask us to make sentence as practice with the topic of our week. However when you were put on the spot, for some reasons, I can’t recall my week. Sensei will […]
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 […]
