Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
This is where I try to reflect on the things I see, read, listen, observe, etc, think about them and see what I can do to improve myself.
Several days ago, I went to stroll around the town with a friend. Actually, she’s been asking me to hang out several times but either our schedule didn’t match, or I simply couldn’t make it. That day I decided to okay her invitation because I didn’t want her to think that I didn’t want to…
This past week I have been absent from Instagram and other social media (Twitter and Facebook). The reason being is…I don’t know. Maybe I’m just bored. Besides, people say Instagram such social media causes addiction. I think I just wanted to challenge myself, a kind of proving that I’m still in control of it; that…
Okay, so, Chapter 3 has ended. We just had the test today. There have been two things that happened for the first time. First, last Thursday, for the first time ever, Sensei A was late. As usual, I had never arrived too early in the class. I would usually arrive 5 minutes or less before…
The other day I went to Lee Lee, it’s an international/oriental supermarket in Tucson, AZ. For me it’s basically like a paradise, one of my secrets of survival living away from home. Why? Well, Lee Lee sells stuff that I cannot in the US mainstream grocery stores such as Walmart, Fry’s, or other places. Lee…
Since I started auditing Japanese 101, I’ve been thinking about this. How do people make friends in the US? I’m taking this class with the undergrads. We meet every day from Monday to Friday, but I can’t see how we (or they) can make friends. I can say that we are classmates, but I don’t…
Actually I wrote this in Bahasa Indonesia and posted it into my other blog, but I think I want to share it in English, too, because, who knows it can reach more people ^^ But, well, actually I have had this thought since long time ago, but recently this issue rose up again, so I…
When I was starting this blog, I told my friend that I was worried and scared that I’d be famous. He laughed. He thought I was joking and just being conceited. But I was serious, deadly serious. Let me tell you why. The reason I started this blog is because my friends have been noticing…
Just recently I saw a friend’s post showing a conversation about how they were sick of people who whined showing a craving for a partner whenever they saw other friends’ getting engaged or married – just because they were single. This really gets me to think about feelings. I’m not in any way blaming this…
First of all, I do not really believe in “no judgment.” I do not really buy things like “I don’t judge.” Let us just admit it: we all judge! We have our opinions. We have our own standards. We evaluate. We assess. We make sense of what we see, hear, experience, etc. As you’re reading…
A: What is the difference between meddling and interest? *B keeps asking questions* A: Why do you keep asking? It’s annoying. B: If that’s how you feel, then it’s meddling. From my perspective, stemming from concern, it’s interest. (Jugglers, eps 4, conversation between Nam Chi Won and Hwang Bo Yool) This makes me think about…
