Monthly Review: Still a Dilemma

As a religious person, I must confess here that I'm not a good yet and also often neglect God's commandment. I know it's wrong but instead I become a better one, I constantly disregard them and here I am, still alive with hunger of something. Bla bla bla..

Err, do you know what I mean? Sorry for my English. Assume this is a note from stranger who calls himself 'nerdy one' and amazingly you try to analyze what he tries to offer. Yes, there will be miscommunication among us, but human remains human. We could chiding each other and stopped till we caught by blind alley, or try to tolerate (this is my favorite part) and attempt to smoothen all obstacles. And if you still feel sick, that’s OK, just close this window. I don’t want to muffle your precious time, and you won’t do it to me too, right? All I know is that blogging lighten my effort to learn English, because there so many sources to ask for (including you) and so many interesting people who have different culture, way of life, sight and perspective. I enjoy blogging very much, but on the other side I don’t want to agitate your enjoyment while surfing. Yes, this is still a dilemma for me.

I have blogging for almost a month, and the conclusion for this post is: do I strong enough to continue blogging for next month?

Time will answer.

Not Vote at All


Today is public holiday because it's also the first round  election day in Indonesia. Actually I am ready to vote, but I don’t know why I don't receive the invitation. May be because I'm not registered at DPT. Well, it’s not my fault to be such an irresponsible citizen. So instead of hauling myself early in the morning to go to TPS, I choose to work overtime in this quite office. That simply make me feel better. I'm not going to spend my precious time just for those lameass political parties. Haha, so ironic.

How 'bout you?

Priority, Priority!

In these rush days I have to handle more tasks than ever before. I found it more and more difficult to keep track of the many tasks needed to be accomplished in order to keep each job running on schedule. New jobs almost come in every day, old jobs go out and existing orders remain in various stages of completion. Often I receive tasks from more than one person or source, and each person who gives me work believes that his or her task should have highest priority. Sometimes I wonder how can I manage multiple priorities more effectively? Because it start to make me insane! 

May be the most important idea is to keep what I need convenient and get rid of everything I don't need. I think this is a crucial point and I don’t wanna trapped inside this vicious circle. I have worked for four years and still learn how to prioritize my tasks. Because this requires coordination with bosses, coworkers and subordinates, that I don’t have talent at those skills, I perforcedly move my intention on it.

Sun Tzu, in "The Art of War" advises: "What enables the good general to strike and conquer, and achieve things beyond the reach of ordinary men, is foreknowledge."

And that is exactly what I'm looking for right now...

Pause!

This Wednesday is little bit unhampered, so I feel nothing to lose to breathed again. So many questions on everything that occurs, so much strained situations and whole troubles that as it should be always repress me to a darkest life-street corner.

I need a break.



I have been experienced with dead lock, blurred path and endless mystification. There will be a lesson, and it still figured out by this static brain. I don't want to be someone like Cobain who says: I'm worse at what I do best, and for this gift I feel blessed. I just can not see those things clearly.

So, I decide to pause myself for a better step ahead.

The Sign

It has been a while, I know. I missed all of last week for just this premise: my life remains busy.

Four days is going too fast that don't give me more opportunities to set up a new grand idea to share. Is it the sign that I'm a lazy blogger? I cannot yet conceive of how big a deal this is. Technology such blogging has become a substitute for having big things in this life, a diversion that sometimes fools me into thinking that it has everything I need. And the fact is, I feel it deeply. I've hardly visited any blogs and obviously have not posted any single post at all. So I'll just put up this post and see what happens next.

See you, guys.
