Lesson of This Week

Another lesson I've learned this week is about campus life in Indonesia. I'm trying to pour out everything into words, without a need to point my fingers on any institutions or persons. So, I was queuing up in front of a closed registration desk on 12.15pm to re-enroll (we need to do enrollment twice). The … Continue reading Lesson of This Week →

The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

I know it's a bit late (or is it way too late?) to review this movie. It's been almost 3 months late since the premiere of this movie in Indonesia. I have to admit that I love this movie! Not because the casts (they were very eye-catching though!) but the lessons that I could gain … Continue reading The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian →

Support Groups for Children with Behavioral Problems

Adults and parents may notice when their children become fretful, reckless or having difficulty in relationships with others. What we may not notice is why children behave that way and what we can do to help them overcome those behavioral problems. One possible cause is depression in children. It may seems absurd to realize that … Continue reading Support Groups for Children with Behavioral Problems →

Conversation with An Old Man

I was in a train. My first time in this train. I took so many trips with trains before, but this time I have to admit that I regret it. I regret it because the train was dirty, smoky and windy. Smoky because people can smoke inside the train. Windy because they have those open … Continue reading Conversation with An Old Man →

Choosing a Path to Live

Living a life is not a choice. Before we were born there was no choices offered. But, after we were born, we have so many choices in our hands. We can choose to be happy, thankful, thoughtful and careful. Or... we can choose to be grumpy, bad-mood-ON, thoughtless and reckless. It's your call to make … Continue reading Choosing a Path to Live →

What So-Called ‘Soulmate’

These past few days, my friends and I have been talking a lot about finding the right partner for the rest of our lives. These are some points that I've got from our conversations: From man point of view: Women are hard to understand. They keep on saying, "I'm alright" even though their heart is … Continue reading What So-Called ‘Soulmate’ →

Irresponsible = Being Responsible?

Different reasons on why people choose to adopt babies may bring different outcomes in their ideal relationship, as parents and children. In many cases of adoption, the adoptive parents think that they have done something good for both party. For the abandoned babies (in many cases), they will get appropriate attention, support and emotional attachment. … Continue reading Irresponsible = Being Responsible? →

Say Thank You

Saying Thank You is something easy, but yet, not so many people are willing to say thank you from heart. Some are just saying those words as a must. As adults, we need to be a positive role model for our children to say Thank You whole-heartedly. On one of my class last summer, we … Continue reading Say Thank You →

Review : The Holiday

Let me be a bit unusual tonight. I just watched a movie titled The Holiday in HBO this afternoon. I always hate drama, because for me it always end up with easy-to-predict ending. But I have to admit that I love this movie (even though it's very drama). The story is a no-brain (my cousin's … Continue reading Review : The Holiday →

From This Side

Life always has 2 sides of everything. Up and down. Left and right. Right and wrong. True and false. Rise and fall. Happy and sad. From my side: I see that out there is gleaming like rock meets the sun. I see that the joyous of the crowd is never ending. I see that the … Continue reading From This Side →
