In today’s lesson, my sensei taught us a very interesting meaning behind a Kanji word. 辛い（つらい – tsu-ra-i）: hardship, mentally painful 泣く（なく – na-ku）: to cry 涙 （なみだ – na-mi-da）: tears And if we do these that word can give us a brand new meaning: For 辛（い） + (work hard or hang in there) = 幸（せ）read: しあわせ shi-a-wa-se. It means happiness and notice there is a small dash on top of it. For 泣（く）- 氵(mean: tears; lit. water) = 立（つ）read: たつ ta-tsu. It […]
ST*U
It’s often that our mind is so busy talking, sometimes it’s a self talk, sometimes we speak it to others. By speaking too much, it makes we hear less from people around us. Or our inner heart. So, have a right mind, right speech and hopefully we will have a happy and peaceful life, not only with ourselves but also with people around us. Happy Vesak!
iPhone or DLSR
I always have passion to capture moments. Maybe I had told this many times, how I started to like taking photo. Starting from a film camera, prosumer digital camera, mobile phone camera, owning my own pocket camera, DLSR, iPhone and so on. Seems like I got distracted by owning the tools rather than taking the photos. When I have my first DSLR, I used to bring my D90 with the kit lens 18-105mm everywhere. It’s quite big, not as big […]
Accidentally offended
I think most of my friends know how I love Apple, or idolized Steve Jobs. I simply inspired by him since listening to his commencement speech at Stanford back in 2005. Recently, there is A who likes to loathe about her iPhone. Anything wrong with her phone, she will blame Apple. How stupid is the reason to change the wide pin charging cable into lightning pin, or the common woes for every iPhone users, the battery. Basically she’s an unhappy […]
You may have the best material, but you still fail to get what you want
I’m not sure if you heard about “Puzzle Saga” a puzzle game that I played in my iPhone. (No, it’s not Candy Crush Saga). This game is divided into 2 playing modes, Original and Puzzle. In the original mode, they are divided into 5 different realms. Stronger enemies will wait for you every time you advances into new realms. I’m not reviewing the game here, if you like puzzle game, you should play this too. My story is about what […]
What a surprise can worth
I planned to write this after I get back from my Jakarta trip ast week, but I procrastinated because I feel I should write the best post to express how happy I was. Here the story goes: I was going to Jakarta to visit my brother because I was about to pass him his laptop. It wasn’t in the original plan, anyway to cut the story short, I went to Jakarta and decided to stay for few more days spending […]
The beauty of traveling
The traffic to airport was heavy.. But we made it. The queue on immigration gate was long because not many gates were opened, but suddenly more gates were opened and made it to change queuing lane. There was a queue at the second security check point and suddenly the officer pointed at the other side, so made it through too.. In conclusion, too many queues before reaching the boarding room.. What a day.. But it also means, there will be […]
Being an idol
Recently I found a very effective way of motivating myself. I put myself in a third person situation. Here is the story. I observe some of the changes in the entertainment industry, for example: they are more idols rather than artists. To me, idol doesn’t necessarily an artist because they were trained to be popular. But there are also some with real talent. There are many approaches to maintain their popularity, one of them is writing a blog to their […]
