My sensei said, when we are worried about something big like exam, don’t be. Just ダメもと (dame moto). Dame moto is short form of ダメでもともと (dame de moto moto) which means nothing to lose. Even if you fail the exam, doesn’t mean our ability decrease. We just go back to square one or our original state. When we never challenge ourselves, how can we tell we are growing?
I was watching “Hotel Honnouji” by Ayase Haruka and Shinichi Tsutsumi about Nobunaga Oda. I was thinking how many movies about time travel and related to him I had watched before. But I find that each movie was focusing on different things. The female character was a little lost about what she’s going to do next after her company went bankrupt. And she went to Kyoto to see her fiancée who always busy with his work. The purpose was to […]
It’s almost 2 weeks ago since I started a new habit to wake up earlier and allocate some time to do some drills in the morning before taking shower. I have no issue waking up in the morning (most of the days) but there are times when I just want to play my game longer in the evening before going to bed. And I find it hard to wake up in the morning. So, there are times when I dragged […]
“I’m not aiming for a perfect solution but I’d rather have a working solution” is what my colleague told me based on his past experience, when I was discussing about project I’m leading. In my personal life context, I have to say that being a perfectionist (to some extent), I usually did a thorough research and compared different approach or products. But I also realize that often I called it off because I can’t accept available options, whether they are […]
I went to another art class yesterday and this time is about learning watercoloring. And in the classroom there is a quote which was teacher Nat‘s work, Remember why you started It was beautifully written and decorated with her floral watercolor around it. I immediately withdrawn to it.
In my swimming class, my coaches always asked what did I do and how did I do it or how I feel after some drills. They will still tell me if I couldn’t tell them maybe because I wasn’t aware or preoccupied with other things while doing it. They always emphasize that we need to be aware about what we do and remember the feel of it. When we remember it, we are conscious and as we practice more, the […]
Very recently I joined a workshop about brush lettering, which taught me about the basic technique and some applications to enhance the work or medium to work on. We also learned about different pens and brushes. Looking back (way back..) I started to have interest with fonts (to extend almost like obsessed) when I started to my web developer path. But I wasn’t an art student. My brother was the one. Then I told my brother about my old new […]
First blog post in May after series of miss in April is about Hiroshi Tamaki (玉木宏) or Tamakin. I was having dorama-rathon “Career” end of April while waiting to start my new role in a new place. It’s been awhile I haven’t been watching his drama. However, when I looked at his drama/movie list, I realised that I watched his work for quite many. It somehow reminds me 2 things although you were doing quite well in different areas or things, people around you probably […]
