A Day Without Mobile Phone

I purposely left all of my mobiles and gadgets home yesterday, and went to the mall with Mr.Odd with just two books that I wanna finished. It was an interesting experiment.

First, I totally forgot about Peduli Lindungi app that we need to enter any place here hahaha 😂. Luckily the guard was nice enough and let us in after we explain about the situation and showed Mr.Odd's certificates and told him that I had mine at the same time as his. This also made us learn that we actually can link each other's vaccines certificate on the app lol. Well, we do keep each other's now just to be safe for next time.

Secondly, it was so freeing. I have been putting off my mobile oftenly lately on working and reading hours, which I found to boost my productivity and focus a lot. Yet to really leave it at home and not having its' presence was a totally different feeling. I didn't feel the need to check anything, I give full attention to whatever around me and to everyone in front of me. I don't feel bored at all, and feel very present.

Yet the best thing was; I finished my first book and read 100pgs of the second book, sums up a total of 165pgs in just like 5hrs. I still got to enjoy tea time and dinner and a deep talk with hubbie in between. And I did some strolling with him accompanying me, cause I don't have any mobile for him to contact to 😂 hahaha.

It reminded me of how we established some meeting rules back then before the mobile era, something like; "Meet me in 20mins in front of store A. If somehow we lost each other, go to place B and just wait there, we'll find each other there." So nostalgic 😂.

I think I will do that more oftenly from now on lol.

Masterpiece

A masterpiece is not only the result of progressing skill sets of the artist/ creator. In my opinion, it is even more to the results of the expanding character and evolving mind of the artist, from time to time. How we grow our wisdom and our understanding towards ourselves and life, matter the most. How we choose to express them, what medium that we prefer, and which skill sets that we will use, will follow later. Art is just one of the few mediums that I chose to explore life, express my thoughts, and to expand myself. To experience life, explore myself, and encapsulated the journey through as many masterpieces as I could, is my main personal goal as an artist. However, being an artist is never my goal. To be a human that understand life, is. And that's how my priority works. Should there be one day for me to leave art behind and work with another medium to explore my path, I wouldn't hesitate even a split second to leave. My true masterpiece will be my own life. --- My work ...

Gratitude

I know gratitude is important and I, myself, have been experiencing the positive effect of it. Yet, not until yesterday, I really witness the real power of gratitude. So, I joined Inalix's team building event virtually, yesterday. I've been managing and coordinating their digital presence and publication these few months. On that virtual meeting, we listened to the history of Inalix, and we get to know almost every members and listen to their stories. One of the newest colleagues that just joined Inalix is Wahid. He was one of the few who joined the event virtually as well. I could see he was laying down on his bed, and I thought he was sick. Indeed, he was sick, but it wasn't the kind of sickness that I thought. His friend who took him to join Inalix, told us his story. He couldn't move most of his body parts; from toes to recently his jaw, he couldn't really move them. He could move his head and hands, but the rest was numb. So, he couldn't munch food, and cou...

Life Is A Never Ending Game

Bear in mind that not everyone plays the game to have some fun or friends, and that everyone has a different definition of fun. Some people take fun as a fair long game or fair wars, some others take destroying the game and beating others no matter how, as their fun. So..sometimes, when you lose to those destroyer kind of players, just remember that the two of you play two very different games for two very different goals. Also remember that everyone starts with different set of cards. Some players will just have bad cards since the beginning to the end of game. Just like life, some people were born with bad set of cards, and of course they normally couldn't really compete with ones who born with and get all the good cards through life. But cards are cards, you could always play it a bit to elevate some points if you know how to play it. The same with life, you could always do something with the cards you have to be in a better position, if you learn how to do it well. And if one o...
