Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
I first knew Koizora as a Japanese movie. Many say it’s a sad movie. Simply put, you can’t be with the person you love because of one and another thing. Sad, right? But I’m not going to talk about the movie here. I’m going to talk about the sky. Koizora means sky of love. That’s…
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…
Sometimes, our fears and worries are imaginary. Often, we cannot help it. They just pop out in our head, making us scared to do what we want to do. Us, people with insecurities, constantly struggling to muster up courage and boost our confidence. And even if the fears are proven unnecessary for one time, we…
Some time ago my friends praised me for doing well albeit living alone far away from my family, from my country. Previously, she asked me about loneliness. B: jUwa, how do you deal with loneliness? A: Loneliness? Hmm I don’t know. I’m kinda introverted so I enjoy being by myself. You know I’m not really…
Hi, I’ve never really written my thoughts on Korean dramas before, but now I want to write this. Though those who know me (in real life) know that I love Lee Dong Wook, this time I am not going to talk about him. Lee Dong Wook is my angel, but now I want to talk…
Last night I went to Winterhaven. It’s a light festival held annually here in Tucson. It’s beautiful. I didn’t get to go here previously so I’m glad that I eventually gave it a visit. I don’t have a car so it’s a bit hard to get here on my own. But thankfully last night a…
Have you ever been told to be patient? Or not to be upset or angry? To calm down? What is patience anyway? I’ve never thought of myself as a patient person. But if I have to define patience, then, for me, patience is not the absence of anger; it’s the ability to control our fury….
Life lessons. Many people might have been tired of hearing or reading things in relation to life lessons. Why? Well, because everyone learns the lessons from their experiences in life, and these might differ from person to person, so sometimes certain life lessons just don’t apply to everyone. Nevertheless, here are life lessons that I…
“Fake it till you make it.” Have you ever heard someone say it? I forget who I heard that slogan from, but there are times that I think it is necessary. We do need to fake it till we make it. This time I’m not going to exemplify using dreams and chasing them or stuff….
Yesterday, December 16, 2017, I had a gathering with the Indonesian community here in Tucson. Oh, wait, I haven’t told you about Permias, no? Permias stands for Persatuan Mahasiswa Indonesia di Amerika Serikat, meaning Indonesian Student Association at the USA. Permias exists in each state of the US as long as there are Indonesian students…
