Renungan

"We suffer, often unknowingly, from wanting to be in two places at once, from wanting to experience more than one person can. This is a form of greed, of wanting everything. Feeling like we're missing something or that we're being left out, we want it all. But being human, we can't have it all. The tension of all this can lead to an insatiable search, where our passion for life is stirred, but... never satisfied. When caught in this mindset, no amount of travel is enough, no amount of love is enough, no amount of success is enough.

I am not saying that we shouldn't explore our curiosity and venture into the unknown. I very much want to experience the world and love to encounter new people in my life. What I'm referring to here is that seed of lack that makes us feel insufficient, and then, somehow, to compensate, we start to race through life with one eye on what we have and one eye on what we don't.

Greed is not restricted to money. It can work its appetite on anything. When we believe we are behind or less than, we somehow start to want more than we need, as if what we don't have will fill in our pain and make us feel whole, as if the thing we haven't tasted will be the thing to bring us alive. The truth is that one experience taken to heart will satisfy our hunger to be loved by everyone."

City Escape

In this city that I living in,
where jungle made of concrete,
limited open space
I need someplace that can clear my mind
I need a place that can be my solitude
my fortress of zen..
and this place is one of them..

Light Through Darkness

This is one of nicest church I found in jakarta so far,

wish I can come to join mass in here someday.

 

2012

So..just minutes till last day of 2012
Makes me reflect what did i do this year.
One thing for sure is..I'm such a hedon in this year. I splurge a lot, so much more than I did years before, not that a bad thing since i rarely regret what I bought. And I tend to keep this going for next year.hehe..joking aside maybe I need to saving a bit, but not as thrifty as I before. I tend to keep it chillax nowdays. Not worry abt material stuff. Trying to find my inner peace, my balance.
Aside from that. I change my job this year sadly still not really happy with the job. But I got what I wanted which is close from home. So I can back to house whenever I needed,to check up things or just to have lunch. Hopefully next year I can find job that make me happy. Hey job not always need to be boring,rite?
Plus I travel quite a lot this year. Thanks God for that.not as much as I wanted to, but considering my new job and my so what called annual leave,and a bit difficult to get permit to leave now. I still thankful for a slight escape of boredom. And can't wait for next year trips. ^ ^
My passion of photography began to grow.after i lost it in this concrete jungle. Even though im still a noob. And i think i need to upgrade gears sometimes next year,we'll see :)
I starting to hang out more often. Even not much. Maybe it's because I had more time for my self since I'm single this year. and I think this is the best for both of us. Since now I need alot attention for my problems rite now. It's not fair for her if we keep the relationship going.
My bestfriends either getting married or having a child. I'm happy but at the same time sad. I just hope that I can find someone to share my thought, my ups and down,and to make me a better person.
And for sports beside the occasional jogs,swin. I do fitness, capoiera ,muay thai, and mixed martial art. But all already stop because of my busy schedule. Hopefully next year I can be more healthy and do sports more often.
And after my nomaden lifestyle that I occupy since last year, now I can proudly stay at my own house.sure it's not as I wanted to be, and lot's of thing that's still need to be taken care. But afterall blood and tears that been shed. I'm just glad that I can get over that chapter of my life.
This year I think I've became much mature. More aware of what life's can bring you. But I still like this year more than last year.
So..2013..please be good to me ;)
And to all my readers I wish u all a merry xmas and a happiest new year :)
