A note to self
I want to have all the good things in life If life is always up, isn’t going to be a flat life? Why this person have this? Why that person have that? Why I can’t get it too? Why do you want your life to be the same as other person. When you think it that way, you wouldn’t have interesting life 12 May 2013

How did I start to blog? It started when I was on my final year in high school. I was inspired, many times, by reading stories from Chicken Soup books. Most of the story are short and simple, based […]
Capturing the best picture
As a refresher in between some personal development post I usually I write, I would like to share a story. Some weeks ago, I went to a short hike with group of friends. There were 6 of us, three girls and three boys. Almost all of us bring camera, from pocket camera to digital SLR camera (I counted out mobile phone camera in this case, although that some mobile phone can produce not so bad picture)
