It is amazing how our life and our reality really can play important role in the way we percept or visualize one thing. But there is one more extraordinary thing that we can learn..

Seeing as the blind sees. I wondered how some of the blind people let’s say like big man Stevie Wonder or  Ray Charles (was role featured by Jamie fox) can really impact a world with his creations. I believe that he has never thought of himself that he can be so determined and really successful when he found out he was blind. You can see how he is immortalized by his creation.

If you know the story of Helen Keller, she was the first deaf blind person to ever graduate from college. Things were not easy for her. If it were not for the Anne Sulivan’s great vision to see her pass through the tough times. I believe we will never see Helen name inspire us today. But thanks to Anne Sullivan who sees things as the blinded. Understanding a deaf and blind girl and teach her to be a winner is not easy.

I got myself today a simple enlightment.. I have to see things not just in reality but also see things as if I were blind. When I meant blind does not literally i need to poke my eyes till got bleed out but truly envisioned myself in position of impossibility. In position where i want my life to be in the future is very important. I know where I am today is the result of the decision that I made in the past. And sometimes not always that things that you do not wish do affects you like disaster or even some tragic incident.

If you are in position of impossibility, i want you to simply close your eyes and imagine yourself that you have triumphed. You are the champion and there is nothing feel better than conquering it and enjoying it where will you be. Grab that feeling of accomplishment and see it as you turn the table around.

Make believe that there is nothing impossible for you to be in that future and be a total WINNER!

I truly hope the best for all of our lives! Cheers

After 5.5 hours in flight time from Jakarta to Hong Kong finally I arrived. It was pretty long flight but is all good. I was here 12 years ago when it was under British Colony. Things changed last time I was in the airport that had to land surrounded by skycrappers

Now HK international airport has moved to much bigger space and more facilities the immigration is not that tight like it used to but price for local food has changed. Taxi cab cost me around 400hkd to my hotel in wan chai area.

Wan chai also known for the susie wong area surrounded by bars and clubs. Strategically located I found a lot of local food with reasonable price.

On the first day I met my Internet buddy Dr. John Chan, he arrived exactly after I checked in and we had a good chat and thanks to his hospitality
I know my way around a bit

the difficulty if you just bring mobile device like what I used to write this section then you be looking for paid service that can cost you around 20 hkd for 24 hour service. Finally I got connected and was so happy thanks to public wifi network called pccw. You can get your prepaid service from 7eleven. oh one more thing my indonesia mobile provider has also network called people and I can send and receive text MSG awesomely without the need to do any setting configuration.

my first late lunch I had local hong kong fried rice and followed by BBQ pork and crispy skin pork rice. yummy, am going out now for gym in my hotel and tomorrow I will be heading to Macau

see ya on another lost in translation Hong kong edition

It had been a few days since I wrote another post again. I thought that some season in my life has been really over the rainy days and dark time seems revisited me with new kind of twist. I do know that this phase of life I can pass through this time. It is not easy! Until…

This Sunday, It’s Interesting Outlook on The Dark and Daylight. I can really take deep lessons from it. See I do not know if you notice that our life has cycle. That cycle can put us on the TOP and DOWN time. So what’s so important about our cycle of life? Before I get to that… Let’s see what CYCLE that I am talking about and why should we be really understand it.

Our life consists of many aspects like Physical, Emotional, Relationship, Finance, Spiritual and keeping balance to get all 5 main aspects is not and easy job! seriously I had been long enough to endure the cycle some of us while we are young we do not understand why things happen and for what reason.

I reminisce the time when I am not on my peak condition, it is a time where I feel I am alone and only time that can bring me to pass and show me there is a glimpse of ray of hope that can make me smile again.
I am talking about the time when I had only U$30 in my bank account and I realize that I had to do something with it again. I never like how that felt but I assuredly can say that was not an easy time to understand. I need the cash to make me survived the daily living cost. I had a few moment like this similar like back in 1998 and around 2003.

Nothing was right in my life but I persist and got through that dark tunnel of my life. Another time of mine, was when I decided how my love life (yeah, I do fall in love). I do not know why this part seems so important other than money but now I know that we are not a creature who made to be single all the time. We need to partner with somebody who ready to support your vision in life and make it to the next level of dating called relationship then take matters into serious hand called “marriage”.

Nope, I am not into marriage stage but I do realize that things happen for reason and sometime those dark times make us realize nothing can be done much unless we really take time to reflect and stay still. For me it’s getting connected to higher power that I called GOD. I am a believer yeah I am, my life has never been the same but also am a man who can fail.

Tough times or Bad Times Happen To Good People or Person That You Care So Much. But life is not always sad or down all the time. You need to actually understand that when a person is in stage of darkness, we all longing for a new ray of light in our life. That ray of light make us see the best in us near future time. Your current situation may not be the best situation to go through at the moment. But keep on having new better vision and future and I know you will pass through it.

Here is what certain in life “Death” nothing can be more certain but that’s later after we finished our greater purpose why we are here. In life other things that are certain are like “People Come and Go in Your Life”, “Door Of Opportunity Knocks In or Closed For You” “Breathing Fresh Air or Drowning In Some Conflicts” and more to that. Come and Go, Open and Close, Breathe In and Breathe Out, Put On and Put Down, Sun Rise and Sunset. More you can add some cycle that happens repetitively in your life. You can not avoid this but you can learn how to use and enjoy each cycle.

It is like enlightenment in my time, when I had someone who is so closed and ready to lay down your life then she left me was not an easy time. Truly learning to be committed and accepting her decision was something that I have to respect. I know I had to struggle with time of my singlehood, relationship that has been nurtured for the past 30 months gone ashtray. As one of us stopped fighting and gone for some other new life venture, which was not really my choice. I tried to fight it back and rebuilt it. But what’s been broken sometimes become a monument to remind me that I have had to learn it.

I’ve had to close a lot of chapter in my life and what I endured was not easy, I still struggle through it like eating the bitter pill I know I had to go through this stage so I can be a grown up man. This was the darkest time in my life. Being a responsible man who take charge of his destiny and fight the fate is a big job!

Making it to the end, I see a ray of hope now. I get better now after a heavy damaged shocked situation. I will never learn to walk on my next two feet if I never had to crawl before. I will never learn to be grateful of what I have until I lost it. Sometimes unheard cry is the best therapy of your life in state of darkness. No one listen to it, except God. Why God sit and do nothing?

Actually He is there.. when friends come and give you word of encouragement (that’s God way of saying how much He cares). When you got a pat in the back and they tell you to get up again, or the whole new perspective of life that you got that’s a wisdom that you should enjoy it more and more. I thank for the new ray of hope that shone my life and changed me to become a better person and bigger heart and fight life to next level.

In conclusion, dark times is the time where time seems so long and get so toughed. Hang on the new ray of hope is there to build you up and make you a better person. During this time, discovering and enjoying the process is the best way. Nothing can be done more except sowing goodness to your current situation. helping people and what they need: attention, energy, monetarily

daylight times is the time where you feel the joy comes in the morning and fresh air of hope and you see that you can go through the tough times without understand why is it there for you. Also it is a time of reaping, you will see how every aspects of your life get in line and becoming one fine line that you can walk on it and jump on it.

Men’s Life Cycle has to endure the best of both times to understand truly what life is. I know that when I am in my low time, I want to fly higher till I forget how low I am. When I am in sad, I want to be happy. When I am worries I know that I have assurance that my life is safe and time is the one that makes me see it. When I am sick I know I want to be healed through times and love.

I can never say enough how I love the life that is bestow upon me, once I understand this I am ready to fight to get out of my darkness and reach the light. Have Faith for Greater Glory!

I got a lot of bad review about the new will smith’s movie a heroic figurine called “Hancock”.
But I always want to watch movie with bad review but got big budgeted. so I decided to go watch it tonight.

What’s interesting no one knows why the title is called Hancock but if you quick enough then you must have heard a big insurance company called “John Hancock“. Okay this movie is not about insurance but I think the message about this movie is more important than how you want to see the end. After the Iron Man and Incredible Hulk, Hancock can be a let down if you wished your superhero to play another sequel or trilogy.

Do check out the trailer here from the movie itself:

I do think that will smith is the right person to play this character other guy could be nicholas cage or edward norton. But will has proved himself that he is identical to heroine character. Interesting to see that
he did not show as a stable person emotionally and always try to get away with booze or pet (if you still remember the move ” I am Legend”).

The morale of the story is simple “Anyone can make a change from a bad start”. From a drunken, irresponsible, careless, and selfish personality. Hancock has made himself a bad reputation from time to time. He forgot his true purpose as a Hero he needs to maintain stability and also not bring another problem
to the town which is Los Angeles.

I could say more that Hancock is a person who realize his potential but got attitude problem or he is running away from being responsible for his own life and just care on how things are done on him. Until he met a PR for himself who believed in him and taught him to be a better person. He still deals with insecurities in himself not knowing what his true purpose, where he got his power and what is his past has made him a confusing personality.

Interesting enough Hancock reflects our inner potential. We may not have superhero power but we are all here with a purpose, and responsibility to take charge of our destiny. Your destiny can bring positive or negative impact to people surround you. Hancock did realize that he need help, that’s where the new outlook and new vision of him started to take place.

I do want to say that our life journey if seems meaningless, we need to find the real goals and purpose in our life. Hancock found out the truth on who is and his bigger purpose after a few struggle. Is not even easy for him after all the bad things but he can end it nicely to write a new history and live a life full of purpose.

The other thing is that at the end he is being unselfish and aim for bigger purpose and sacrifice the one that he truly care. Can you guess what it is ? I do hate to spoil the rest of the movies but I do suggest if you don’t catch it at your nearest cinema. Hire or Buy the DVD, I am sure you will be entertained much.

If you happen to browse the J. Hancock site then you will find this interesting mission statement here

“At John Hancock, we are here to help you plan for your future so you can realize your promises. Created as a life insurance company, John Hancock has since broadened its products and services to become a leading provider of financial services, delivering the products you need to create the future you desire.”

Hancock the movie show that one person can create the future his desire by making massive and extreme change in his life. And even he can do it alone… you need people to help you reach that. I hope people in John hancock realize this I am bringing some traffic to them ( my main purpose is to share you the moral of the movie)

I feel very obliged to share a lot of insight about making the right decisions in life.
Is never easy. Your right decision can make you in bigger problem than what you already have.
Your right decision can lead you to loss a lot of friends.
Your right decision can be the determining factor that a lot of people can be against you.
Your right decision can be the one single element that makes difference between failure and success.

Let’s assume you have made the right decision than the result was not like you expected. It was a total
failure. What can you do? I’d suggest change your strategy. A lot of people making a decision based
on current situation. Have you ever turned the table around? What do I mean?

Have you ever made decision based on result ? Whatever result you want to get you made your decision that can achive the result that you have set. A lot of us walking in the journey of life flow, whatever will be then will it be. It creates our life as a creature of circumstances, we do not take control of the process and event in our life but rather we are becoming victims.

We blamed our current situation as we become a victims of our own decisions. We tend to blame others for our failures. It’s funny when everything goes wrong we tend to blame but when everything goes right or smooth we forget the people that has helped us getting there.

How about if you were born in challenging situation ? Challenging financial situation, disability, racial discrimination, unwanted born by your natural parents. Can you still change your future ? Yes, there is no doubt to it. But is not easy, also nothing is impossible.

Norman Vincent Peale shared something so powerful, he has a very profound quote:

“People become really quite remarkable when they start thinking that they can do things. When they believe in themselves they have the first secret of success.”

First secret of sucess. Is to change your thinking then believe in the new changed thinking. And make decision and taking action based on the new thinking.

Have you ever felt that you started with a lot of challenges? I have had that experience when I started my entrepreneurial journey it was one of the lowest time in my life emotionally. But I kept on targeting on what I wanted in life. I do see a dot of hope that I can actually approach further and see that I am getting closer to my target of what I wanted in life.

Carl Bard is pretty unknown for his inspirational quote but read here:

“Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.”

The famous philanthropist, TV talk show host “Oprah Winfrey” did not start his life smoothly based on abused and all that she should have ended up become a wreck. But she did something in her past that has made her a very fortunate person that can help and inspire others for better life. Her interesting quote:

“Every day brings a chance for you to draw in breath, kick off your shoes and dance.”

Most of us stay where we are in comfort zone, if something not happening that means we fail to realize and take action. Bryon Pulsifer says this:

“You will never reach your goal until you start to take action, any action.”

I do like what I have seen in the life of people who were not starting right but ending as champion.
Olga Korbut has one of interesting quote about life where I categorized this as “Pushing to the limit / persistence”

“Don’t be afraid if things seem difficult in the beginning. That’s only the initial impression. The important thing is not to retreat; you have to master yourself.”

Therefore my friend, do think about how you want it to be in your life, make the right decisions to reach that goal in life that you always want it.

If you want to become a millonaire start learning about what does it take to be a millionaire, if you want to be a tycoon’s wife. Learn how to act, speak and think big as any tycoon wife has always behind the succesful tyconn. If you plan to change the world, start change your surrounding. Or if you want to invent something, start experiment today. If you happen to want people to appreciate you as who you are. Appreciate them today before you ask them to do it.

Life is an exciting journey. Let’s push through to the end as a champ!

This Sunday July 6th, 2008.

It’s not my average Sunday. I thought I woke up around 11 am, in fact I woke up around 9.00 and I had more time to do things in the morning. Had breakfast and I am trying to fit in my schedule to update my blog for things that I did on July 4th - 5th, 2008.

I am so grateful that in my life there are new friends and awesome people that surround my life and help me to become a kinda person who are grateful for the life that I took.

I remember 10 years ago, I did not have any Idea what I had to do in life and what kinda job I will have in the future. I thought I would be some computer whiz but I asked myself deep down if I ever wanted to do that kinda job cause I hate to do programming. So once I finished my high school years with a lot of effort since I graduated in Australia (English is my second language) I could pick any university that I wanted to enter.

I asked myself this “what kinda life would I like to live it five years from now?” I can now say this easily. I did not have the answer 10 years ago. I was searching for myself, discovering the real purpose why I am exisiting on this earth, I know I had to be myself but what kinda responsibility that I have to undergo? that I did not know”

I went to uni after carefully choose a bachelor degree that I would like to do. It was multimedia the new kind of degree offers by Monash University, Berwick Campus - Melbourne. I was in the second batch, I love the study there it was so much exploring and learning curve. I know that I would be in media field doing all these kinds computer activities related. Was it all there is?

I guessed not. To shortcut the story quick… I was hired by the organizing committe of olympic for the sydey 2000, olympic games. I can say it was part of the destiny. Why? First time they asked to do voluntary work. With all expenses I had to undergo and living for one month in sydney, australia. It was not easy seriously, I had to refuse due to the expenses.

But seems Destiny has its own way. The plan changed we are getting some pocket money and all the lunch was paid on the committee. I know I had to answer this and suddenly my name pops up in the list of voluntary and will be provided these facilities. I know it was an opportunity of lifetime.  I know I had to find accomodation. Somehow my church network had people that would accept me to stay temporarily. I was so grateful as I know that it would be easier for me to focus on work.

God has been Good. So the day went on arriving on A$99 on virgin airlines using e-ticket I arrived in sydney took a cab and then went to the city of sydney stay at princeton apartment. I went on for briefing day to register and confirm my attendance and was taught how things and rules in the workplace. I had so much to learn, but I know would enjoy the process and make me a better expert.

I remembered when I received schedule, I wasn’t supposed to be in on the opening day of olympic games. But I know I had to obeserve and see how things were done the other day. I asked my team leader if I may observe, so I can do my work better. But the schedule was not followed properly some peopel did not turn up. So I remember where I was asked if I can start early on the olympic opening game. I agreed right away.

It was interesting the job that I had to take since only I was able to do most of the stuff that was asked by the team leader, he made me the leading web editor and was asked to teach other people from other country how to do the job, upload graphics, resize pics, and did all the necessary. We need to wrap up 2 hours opening ceremony with around 500 pictures from various sources and presented. Wow, talk about speed with other 4 people we did ace it. I felt relieved once we finished uploading the last batch. I was meeting my Team leader and team manager and both are truly satisfied. They gave me a privilege to work at my own time not following schedule but they would appreciate if I submit schedule. I remembered at the end of day I had a few exclusive goodies and job paid as they would promise too I am so grateful as I could do serving the world and did what I am passionate about

So how did I really know what I am passionate about? One thing I know that I love to socialize and learn that other people must have their own good in spite if they have done bad. And learn that you can influence them and be their friend was one of the privilege. I love people.
There are so much potential in each one of us that yet to be discovered. Seriously, I did not know that I had to look for my passion and purpose in life. Until I was revealed by the truth that our life has purpose and mission when I was back in 2003.

You need to apply what you learn is also the most revealing factor in my life, I had to study then apply taking massive action. I can say I like what I did and attended the Unleash the Power Within from the World Class Action Coach “Anthony Robbins” is another story.

I know I had read his book and was really motivated by his story how a janitor now can feed ove 2 millions poor people and change the life of people. He is a human that exercise what he learned, he took massive action for change. one of the pivotal moment it was the firewalk. It was a thrilling experience. Seriously, I hate fire… who would not right? I had to step on it barefeet on the 7m course, and I know that I had to do it if not I would regret it.

I felt it was a metaphor that I had to take if I want to do something different. I had issues with my life and felt rejected a lot of times by people whom I love I also made a stupid decision that sacrifice the person whom love me. I learned the hard way but I knew I had to take responsibility due to the decisions that I made. I am taking responsibility of who I want to become and the life of success that I want to achive. It was not easy but life was never easy it had its smooth time but also rough times to make the journey exciting.

So.. today is not my average sunday! I had took the hardest path, know I am on my way to fulfilling my destiny and on the verge of making every right decisions, financial, relationship, health, spiritual and emotion. I do know this that July 6th’08 I can set myself a target 5 years from now how I want to become what kinda life I want to live. And the journey is just beginning.

Happy Sunday!

The first insitution we are being introduced when we are all born is called family.
Everyone needs them, is where we can be depended as kid and learn how to survive.
You do not need a natural born family, if enough loved given by people surround you.
You have just got yourself family.

I do cherish every moment that I spend with my family because I know that they are people
who are closed to me and knows who I really am and even accept me when I am in my bad or
right. I can not state enough how it is so important if you want to grow you need the right
kind of people to surround you.

Yes, it’s true some of us can not choose which family should we be born. I could not be either
I remember a teasing or joke a father like to throw in family. I think i was like 5 years old,
I see my friend has most of their fathers as director of a company and they can get what they
wanted in life easily. And I asked of my that this rather shameful question ” Why didn’t you become
a director?”. Ouch! That question stucks in my father’s head but I think that’s what he is trying to
show me not by words but through his actions. He showed that even though he is not a director
he is living his passion to help people and until today he has been a great father.

When I got wiser, I told my dad how I proud I am to be born in his family as a privilege and I never
regret that God let me born in this family. He is an Awesome Dad, and my mom is also one kind of
woman. All I can say parents are like the best teacher in life. They may not be always correct all the
time but they do have some wisdom and insight. Their love for us is what we have to appreciate
in spite of who they are. Every parents will try to always make their kids proud.

This year 2008, I showed my parents that I do not need another present. The best present is their
presence in my life till today and I cherish every moment we have. Friend, if you happen to read this
and you are challenged by your situation with your parents. I can say there is HOPE!
You do not know how precious they are in life till their really not in your life. Don’t take your parents
life for granted. They love you, show them how much you care. Things can change!

Nothing is impossible. I would like to share my favorite song “Love Me Like You’ll Never Love Me Again”
It’s a very emotional message, and sang by a very soulful lady “Alicia Keys”.  Let’s start share love!

Live version of Alicia Keys hit song “Love Me Like You’ll Never Love Me Again”

I also found a duet version sang by Tilly Key (she is such a talent) and her friend trevor wesley.
I do learn that guy can sing this one with such soul.
