My exercise life

I live an active life and was a Tae Kwon Do athlete until I stopped competing about ten years ago. But it doesn't stop me to keep exercising. This corporate life has consumed lots of energy and emotion, so exercising is really good to release bad/negative feelings.

Most of the time, I do solo exercise.... at the gym. I'd attend classes for pilates, yoga, aerobics, or just walk or jog on treadmill.

What I want to experience more is team sports, where I get together with my old friends, exercise together, and hang out and do some catch ups afterwards.

It can build better relationship with my friends. And if you do it with your office colleague, it will also do the same, better work relationship and better understanding of each other's characteristics.

The trend in Indonesia right now is Futsal or mini soccer where you only have five players in your team. Even you can always play in bigger soccer team if the people is there.

Not many people is playing Baseball or Softball here, but I'm sure there's always one or two groups doing it after office hour.

Another popular game which people play here is Volleyball. Most of the time, my neighborhood will hold a Volleyball competition during our Independence Day. That's where I'd join and try to get our team win!

While for school kids, it's a new thing to have cheerleading in their school. I noticed several cheerleading competition in my city. The kids are good at it.

Living in this busy city, I can't afford to forget my exercise routine.

My own biz: The Mu Company

My emotions and feeling nowadays are raging. I keep thinking about having my own business and it's frustrated because I haven't had a chance (or you can say: too lazy ) to work on my personal goals.
Every night I go online just to check out products and do some research, but I haven't compiled them in a business plan! All of the materials are in my head, I should have started writing and just do it! Don't think.

I've found what my company name will be: The Mu Company. Well, the "mu" should be pronounced "mew" as it's taken from one of Greek Alphabet.

Why I decided to use the name?
Well, first of all, I'm obsessed with mineral make up since a year ago.
I was thinking to name the business "Mirna's Mineral Make Up" = M3U. If you pronounce it, M3U is like "mew", right?
Then I recalled that there's a Greek alphabet with similar pronunciation. Boy, I was right!
It's the M alphabet. See the picture below?

Mu (uppercase Μ, lowercase μ; Greek: Μι or Μυ [mi]) is the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet. Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water (The hieroglyph n) which had been simplified by the Phoenicians and named after their word for water, to become Mem Mem
The letter Mu appears in conjunction with alpha and omega to signify the "beginning, middle (meson) and end", a phrase found in an Orphic verse describing Zeus, and later adopted to describe both JHWH and Jesus.

It's perfect, cos my name begins with M.

Facts that support my decision:
1. M, the initial of my name
2. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 40. Do you know what it means? That I must reach successful and enjoy it at the age of 40. Wow....
3. Middle, yup indeed. I'm in the middle of my life age now, I'm 32 years old.
4. Mu, in Indonesian is a short from "kamu", means you. My company is focus on you, my customers.

The Mu Company may have several divisions. For example, I can have The Mu Health Store, The Mu Cosmetics, The Mu Consultants, the possibility is unlimited!

For the products I'll sell, I'll start from health product, as I have Tahitian Noni Juice product range right now, I'll add mineral make up to the business line.

OK, enough for now. At least I have written something to ease my brain pain.
Need to go to sleep now, I'm having a cold.

Bombings in Jakarta


After several years, we never thought that this will happen again!
We were shocked, the terrorist has attacked us again!
It was on July 17, 2009 in the morning. I was in Surabaya for exhibition, I was just arriving at the site when my colleagues and visitors were discussing about it. The ones who's got Blackberry, showed us the explosion pictures through internet.

The targets were Ritz Carlton Hotel and JW Marriott Hotel! Those are near my office in Kuningan.

Manchester United was in KL, Malaysia, when this happened. They were supposed to arrive to Jakarta the next day.

I'm grateful


I'm really grateful of what I have, what I receive from my Creator.
I drive a car, while others go on foot, by bike, or squeezed in the bus.
I travel to new places, while others only stays in their place.
There are people, selling stuff by going around my housing complex and carrying the goods, while I go visit hospitals.

I can't complaint. Everyday I wake up in the morning, it means my Creator gives me chance to do useful things in my life.

Are you in love with your best friend?

Love the lyric: I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Enough said.




Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now

I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Taking criticism

It requires open mind, big heart, positive thought, and control of emotions when a person takes critics from others.
The critics can be reconstructive, which is good. And it can be destructive too. Depends how you see those things, then you know how to interpret them.

My oh my, I had my portion of the critics!
I was upset because I felt I was being attacked, in front of my big boss!
Then my big boss shot at me too at the same time. Gees.....
After that scary moment gone, I cleared my mind and I just took it as an input to improve my performance.

There..... Don't take it personally, cos people just say words. Filter it and take the essence.

Good reading: Taking Criticism with a Smile
