Love And The Eternal Energy
I had so much love this morning. It was my fruit salad and oat breakfast (will share more about this power breakfast in the future), but more than that, it was a text that written with full of compassion that boost up the energy and the spirit inside of me.
Somehow, that morning text brought me to one of my science class in high school.
“The law of conservation of energy states that the total...

To be aware
It’s the second day of my stay in Bali, and there were loads of things that happened, whether it was good and bad. But everything taught me the same thing, I need to be aware on every thought, every word that I said, and every action. The conclusion is, I should be the master of myself.
Oh, I’m currently staying at Dukuh Village Homestay in Tegallalang, 5 kms from Ubud, before I finally found a...

23 days left...
I’m counting down to the day when I’ll leave Bandung.
In a couple weeks, I’ll teach kindergarten students in Ubud, Bali.
I always have a dream to have a kindergarten someday. This dream arose because of my concern on education issue in Indonesia, especially early childhood education. As International Law student, I used to dream to work for foreign ministry, or even UN (every international law...

Acceptance
I remember the importance of being aware 24/7, with your feelings, thoughts, … .
By analyzing the feeling of disappointment, sorrow, or even anger, it’s actually come from our - or in this case, me - the desire that I have; the crave to fulfill my expectations; my longing for happiness, the feeling of happiness I’ve ever experienced; and once I can accept it, I can easily let my...

Spentastic!
I just came back from my 2 weeks-spentastic-trip, through Bali and Lombok. Incredible places, long trip on moped and boat, delightful people whom I met, and certainly, new insights.
I’m thinking to write stories about it in several parts. But this time, let me show you the beauty of Indonesia nature through photos. Oh, sorry if I captured too much sunrise/sunset. Somehow, it always astonished...

Fill The Cup
On my latest trip (another trip, ZI? Seriously?!), I crossed my path with an old man who was just devastated. He’s a truck driver, who goes from one province to another province in Indonesia, and one week before I met him on the bus that took me from Denpasar to Surabaya, he became a suspect of two people who were hit by his truck. One of the victims (victim from police point of view) has passed...

Get Real. Get Outside.
Found a great advertisement from STIHL. This company basically is a manufacturer of chainsaws. Wikipedia stated that STIHL is the world’s best selling brand of chainsaws. Well, I’m not interested with the chainsaws, but its advertisement. It’s true that real life can never be replaced by mere pixels :)

Meditation
I guess many of us forget the importance of ‘The Present’. Well, I admit that I’m one of the people whose mind easily goes to the past and the future, and rarely think about the present. I realize it recently when I meditate. I don’t know much about meditation itself actually. What I did recently is just this kind of meditation where I sat cross-legged, closed my eyes comfortably, and relax (ah,...

Contemplation on Death
Got word that father of my friend(s) passed away some time ago. This news brought to my mind memories about my mother’s death three years ago. Seeing the reaction by my friend’s BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) status, BBM display picture, or even their writing on their personal blog, clearly remind me how difficult it was for me to accept the fact that death itself is a certain thing that will be...

Faith versus Tradition in Islam
It’s pretty interesting to know another point of view about Islam from Muslim perspective. Well, not that kind of Muslim that we can find regularly here in Indonesia. When I found out that he’s Turkish, all these things made sense (especially his high sense of nationalism which clearly can be felt at the end of the video, and of...

Oasis of Peace
A popular story of the Middle East tells that a youth arrived at an oasis shore next to a town and approaching an old man asked, “What kind of a people lives in this place?”
“What kind of a people lives in the place where you are coming from?” asked the old man instead.
“Oh, a group of selfish and wicked,” replied the young one, “I am happy I have left...

The Spontaneous Idealist
I just took what so-called personality test (well, I’m quite curious why many people took this test). Hmmm… since I only had to answer 4 questions, I can say it’s a pretty good test hhahaha.. Well, to prove it whether it’s a good one or not, you should try it by yourself of course :) Here’s the link. Or, you also can try it in Indonesian. And here’s (the summary...

Inner Peace
When you attain true bliss and happiness inside yourself, you will feel so overwhelmed with joy that no words can describe it.
No one can do this for you, you have to attain it yourself in order to understand how it feels. When you eat a chili, for example, others may ask you how it tastes, but you can only tell them that it’s spicy. They don’t really know what spicy means until they...

Existentialism v. Essentialism
Almost everyone (in Indonesia) have a social network. It can be a facebook, myspace, twitter, or even the latest one, google plus. Without hesitation or even without asking whether they need it or not, voila… Indonesia became the largest cyber-social-network user! Cool, eh?
I personally, made my twitter account last November. It takes time for me to finally make it. Since I believe that...

Suppressing your thoughts known as Thought Suppression is an attempt to avoid thinking about something we would just soon forget. For instance, if we get a bad grade, criticized from our boss, or do something embarrassing, we want to forget it.
The ‘Dual Process Model of Thinking’ explains how thought suppression succeeds or fails. The automatic part of the system,...

Moneybags
One day, father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live. They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”
“It was great, Dad.”

A Year Ago
The universe somehow forced me to check up on old photos. Et voila…, I ended up by editing these photos. Enjoy! :D
But I guess it’s a bad idea to keep checking on these photos, to keep checking on the past. Because I’m afraid it makes me forget about the present (well, apparently it had distracted me from the present lol). Although the past was immensely...
