They’re not acting!

P101210PS-0465, a photo by The White House on Flickr.

Love this photo, because it shows a serious George Clooney. Mind you, he takes his activism in Africa very seriously. Waiting for an Indonesian celebrity to do something like this (but on a national level)

My horoscope today: good advice!

Just because you have a strong opinion about how to do something at work, your certainty doesn’t make your idea the best way. Being open to learning from others requires you to let go of your attachment to being right. Forget about proving your superiority; instead, acknowledge that everyone has something special to offer. Respectfully asking your co-workers to share their knowledge and expertise is a sign of your own intelligence.

Hello, crossroad!

Dear life, you just love to create crossroads for me, don’t you?

What should I do? Turn left, turn right, or straight on?

This could explain my mood yesterday…

Sagittarius horoscope for Monday December 27:

You may not be in a party mood today, but your current malaise won’t last long. You might wonder how you got so enthused about an idea that turned out to be less important than it seemed at first. Nevertheless, your excitement grew along with your vision. Now, however, you must rethink the whole scenario because it’s not living up to your expectations. Don’t be afraid to let go of an old dream so you can invent a new one.

My recent horoscope: manggut-manggut deh…

You are putting time and effort into your work or, perhaps, toward a community project. Either way, your optimism might be flagging now, leaving you with an uncomfortable uncertainty about your future. You are tempted to withdraw as you wonder if your work will actually pay off. Don’t abandon your plans; instead, be more realistic about them so you will be able to reach your goals.

You are missed, Pak…

The beginning of the semester is usually chaotic, and this semester is no exception. For the past two weeks, my patience has been tested by the fact that when I arrive to start the lab course, the doors to the lab have not been opened yet, and the tech doesn’t have the key.

What the…?

Then it hit me. Until last year, I did not have any problems because one of my colleagues have opened the doors to the lab every Wednesday morning without fail. This July he passed away.

Since then, things have not been the same.

You are sorely missed Pak, I wish you were still with us

Al Fatihah untuk Bp. Ellyzar IM Adil MS.

Let’s not take life for granted, part 3: when death hits close to home…

This time, it’s personal

My Department is mourning the loss of our dear colleague and friend, Mr. Ellyzar IM Adil.

He taught Animal Physiology. Always maintained a close relationship with all students, rarely see him down.

I am sad because I know that he had to deal with a lot of difficult things during these past few years, and I couldn’t really help him.

The various status updates on Facebook are a testimony to his kind heart and gentle manner.

You will be missed Pak Ellyzar. May Allah SWT have mercy on you and your family (ibu Ena, Dika & Dita) be strong to get through this difficult time.

(Al Fatihah untuk Alm. Pak Ellyzar)

When something’s no longer fun…

then it’s time to move on.

Seriously.

I’ve always tried not to quit easily, taking each experience as a learning experience, but sometimes, it’s just not worth it.

They say a job worth doing is worth doing well, but the $64,000 question is, is the job worth doing?

When I literally threw up before going to bed after a meeting, I knew it was time to move on.
