Time Moves Fast

Perhaps only to some people, to others time moves slowly, still others time crawls. I guess the speed of time depends very much on the past and the future. The past - the thing we want to forget; the future - the thing we look forward to...

Midyear 2006

Its midyear already.. It is proclaimed that the world is safer today than yesterday.. but how do we measure that degree of safety anyway? and safe to whom?

Travel notes

When overseas or away from homebase, we tend to compare everything in the surrounding with our own. Differences or similarities particularly stand out and uniqueness are long remembered... the culture, food, cities, clothings, manners and styles.. truly, the variety and diversity are enriching...

Breaking Silence

I have been silent for quite a long while.. but I guess I should say something to the new year that is coming.. and the year we have been spending, 2005. So, happy new year 2006 and bye memorable 2005..

Intention/ Niat

everything should start with intention
you must know your intention
be clear with it..
and remember that intention does not justify means...

That conversation, in the end, gives me a whole new realization of the importance of intention...

A Story of Life

Nakamora's commute to work takes only about an hour. But during his drive today his mind travelled far more than an hour. Days, weeks, months, or even years. He symphatizes with his friend. It was last night. While talking over coffee his friend narrated to him a story of part of his life, or perhaps a lesson of life..

It could happen to anyone. He listened and listened attentively to his friend - his life story, which at some points he thought intersect his..

Not long after they met they get married, but after a decade the ship encountered rough sea. He is not a good navigator, captain. Situation, according to him, does not help strengthen, but reduces his ability to provide the leadership. He has thought of abandoning the ship, but stayed anyway -- at least a decade after they set sail together..

Nakamora, who has set sailed for much less time than that, thought it must be a good lesson to continue to listen. His friend has the ship anchored while searched for one that he can navigate. He was successful. He got what he wanted all along. A ship in which he is the captain, in which everybody would listen to him, would regard him to be so.

Nakamora wanted to stay and continue to listen, but for now he has just got to move as its getting late. His thought shifted what could be the reason for his friend behaving that way, he has no answer to that, he can only speculate. That's what he has been doing this morning until he realizes that he is already at the parking space at the place where he works.
