I am not a big fans of American Idol, (any idols show incl Indonesian Idol are never as good as the American). I don’t really think all the stars (idols winners) are finally a super soloist. Except Kelly Clarkson, none are my favorite. But, I always enjoy watching the earlier part of a season, I think what interest me the most is about the show giving everybody a chance. As long as you want to, you can have a chance. Regardless you go through the next round or simply a fool on TV. Don’t you guys agree that is exactly what everybody needs? A Chance.

Gray’s You’re the World to Me
I was working on a music list, and found David Gray’s You’re the World to Me. And, i must say that this track is one piece of the good stuffs. It sounds better after I played it for the second time. Try it!
I woke up, the room was cold
Looking tired, feeling old
Cursin’ all the changes I’ve to say
The more I cursed into the flood
The less it seemed do me good
Clearer became my mind than I could say
Baby baby you’re the world to meI think I will propose this one to Ike 😀 Hopefully she wont veto this one 😀
Anyway, my list is almost complete, selecting from hundreds of tracks, and shortlisting them into only 10-15. Will let you guys know what’s the selection later! -
The End is The Beginning is The End
Haven’t watched 2012 yet! Although, regardless the movie, I am totally aware of the end. It is not about whether we’re gonna end together, or not, the purest and simplest fact is ‘we are all will not live forever’.
I just watch Covey’s 8th Habit video, and there’s a 2-minute clip at the end of the presentation, the video started with “Life is short…., so live”, and then end with “Life is short…., so?”.
Life is short. So, LIVE.
And life ain’t no beauty show
We don’t know where tomorrow endsI sometimes end my day with a negative thought and mood, mostly affected by professional relationship/encounters during the day. Sometimes, even worse, I angry with other people.
After years of living, i do have the awareness that all that emotions, all that thoughts, all that negativity are all unnecessary, are all to be avoided. (Only, sometimes, i do lose my nerve! :p). Good thing is I now have the awareness, i have the consciousness. Bad thing is I am troubled at implementing the Good Thing. It’s a matter of time. 🙂
Don’t ruin your day with negative emotion. Stay positive, think positive.
Pump your energy to your passion. Smilers never lose, frowners never win.I learned some from the books, some from my mentors, and some from my mistakes.
Have a nice weekend! Enjoy your life, now.Title is from Smashing Pumpkins 1998 hits.

Control Your Own
I had an argument, er discussion, with my colleagues. I was not happy, yeah let’s say pretty much “upset” about the subject and its outcomes. And suddenly it just hit my mind that ‘..what the hell that I am unhappy about?!..”, I was recalling to few simple statements from Stephen Covey, and urgh I felt that I was pretty much controlled by external factors. I surrendered my own capability to control my feeling.
Man, we all should really practice the very basic of seven habit of effective people. It’s not easy, in fact it is a huge initiative – it’s hard, provocative -, but at the end we all really need to master the all the habits, don’t we? -
August Updates
August is good. Our team successfully ran a seminar (60+ participants). And, I went back to my hometown for a few days and enjoy blackouts. The best thing in August is i got many many ideas! 🙂
It’s never been this easy to get some ideas. They are just keep flowing in from anywhere. Fantastic! Love August.September is just few days ahead, and I am gonna love September, as much as I love August! 🙂 Philippines Airlines tickets is in my hand. And Ike got our Boracay tickets also. *grinUuuu, i found a very talented artist in August: Carla Bruni. Well, most friends didn’t like her, but tell you the truth: her voice is sexy, and her beauty did not affect my opinion! :p (altho, yeah, i have included her in my Top 10 list).
