I finished the book today, teary and snotty 😅. The book is just.... Hh... I don't know how to describe it. When I took it from the book shelf, my only thought was that it was thick enough, so my hospital days will be a little better. And... The book is telling me a doomed … Continue reading Day 6

Viola Davis
I just finished her memoir, finding me. An eye opener, an honest account of one life- no sugar coating, but it's not ... Vulgar either. I read it in two sittings, and after the book finished, I needed time to just exhale and let Viola's stories make their way into my mind. The best part … Continue reading Viola Davis
Problems
"Ultimately, this is not about solving your problems. It's about realizing that there are no problems. Only situations — to be dealt with now, or to be left alone and accepted as part of the “isness” of the present moment until they change or can be dealt with."Eckhart Tolle
Truth
Another I can't stop reading this book by Mitch Albom. A little liar. This time, the book weaved many stories into one big theme: what is a lie, what is the truth? Can we say the truth all the time? Or to the far extreme, why do some people become a pathological liar? Is the … Continue reading Truth
A book
If I write a book... No... When I write a book, it will be about me. About what part of me to be specific? That's the question I'm toying with nowadays. I write.. in this blog... Mostly to channeling my emotions et al. But a post in LinkedIn sparks this idea inside me. You want … Continue reading A book
Weltanschauung
The book is altering my Weltanschauung ( world view). Probably the only history book that made me cry. After reading this book, I see Ompung Si Singamangaraja differently. I admire him completely. The title fits perfectly. Ahu si Singamangaraja, means I am Si Singamangaraja. The last words he said in his final moment before the … Continue reading Weltanschauung
Water
What tattoo do you want and where would you put it? I just finished this book and then there's this question about tattoo. Where do I start? The book... Of course, I'll start from the book. There are rivers in the sky by Elif Shafak. I finished the book in two sittings, and up to … Continue reading Water
Seed
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move." A reverend interpreted the mountain as the tons of problems we have, and by a tiny faith as big as mustar seed, we can move that mountain of problems out … Continue reading Seed
Lumos!
My celebration for this new year! This fragile life, this beautifully functional body, this exceptionally working brain. All is well. Amen. Karin Sabrina
Bubble
I carved a space for myself today. A Daniel kahneman book (admittedly way too heavy for my life situation now 😅) and a caramel Macchiato. I sat there in this café, sipping my macchiato, and read without any intention to understand the cognitive dissonance explained by Mr. Kahneman 😂. I just let the words passed … Continue reading Bubble
