Sleepy…

Written by Jimmy on Jul 1st, 2008 | Filed under: Personal

I don’t know why, lately, I have a problem keeping my eyes open in front of my computer. Usually I can stay awake and do things like browsing, watching DVDs or playing games.

But these few days, I fall asleep in front of my computer every night :( Maybe it’s because my work load at my office that make me tired, but I don’t feel any significant changes in my work.

Do you ever have the same problem? I heard that those hardworker Japanese people sleep for only 3 hours a day. How can they do that?! I don’t want to believe that, but who knows? It’s the Japanese :D

So if you have any tips to make me stay awake, at least until 11:30pm when I usually go to sleep, please kindly tell me. Huh! I hope this will go away soon…


New Theme, New Look, New Blog

Written by Jimmy on Jun 20th, 2008 | Filed under: Personal

I’ve been using the old theme on this blog for more than a year. One year and a month, to be exact. The old theme was the popular TypoXP 2. I’ve been looking at the old theme for more than a year! Now it’s time to move on, as I want to be more serious with this blog, I need to refresh myself, including this blog’s theme. This is the screenshot of what this blog looks like before:

I must admit that I wasn’t really serious with this blog at first. I was just trying new things, and blogging was a new thing for me then. I wrote about those programs about making money on the internet, but just reviews of those programs. I myselft even made a little money from them. :(

As time goes by, I know more about blogging, and I find it really interesting, especially when my other blog in my native language has made me new friends and knowledge. I want to do the same with this blog.

If you ever notice, using my old theme, I set the title of this blog to Anything Anyone Should Know, while I didn’t give much to my readers :oops: and the tagline was Online money, jokes, cool stuff, movies, games, just anything!. None of them anymore, this time I set the title to Zirpy (just the same as its domain name), and my tagline is Just Me Blogging. Yes, this is just me blogging right now :D

I don’t know if this change will change this blog’s position on search engines. But I don’t care, because it didn’t have a really good position on search engines anyway. This is just like me building this blog from scratch again.

Ah, one more thing. This new theme I’m using is Damai. I hope you’ll like it.

I Walked on Fire

Written by Jimmy on Mar 7th, 2008 | Filed under: Personal

Have you ever walked on fire? If you like motivation seminars, you should already know about it. It’s called firewalk. I just did it two days ago, in a motivation seminar. The speaker says that after we walk on fire, we will feel more confident, and it can make your mental blocks go away.

Actually, I didn’t want to do it, because my close friend did it about a year ago, and her feet got injured. She had to take medications for about a month. More than that, we, the seminar attendees, were asked to put our name and sign a letter that says we are responsible for what happens at the firewalk. So if I got injured, I shall never blame the motivator!

But, because all of my friends were going to do it, I thought to myself, “What the hell! I’ll do it!”. And I did it! :D It was not easy to start, but then after I stepped my feet’s first step, it just happened. I walked through the fire unharmed, it was like walking on warm sands. But one time is enough, when my friend asked me to do it again, I refused :) But a lot of the attendees did it over and over again.

The motivator said that the key element to walk on fire successfully is to believe that you can do it. If you believe you can do it, you can do anything! My friend who got injured, said to me that she was really not sure that she could do it, so she got injured. Well, after I did it, I have more confidence in myself. But did it boost my confidence? No.. just a little (too bad for me) :(

Here are some photos of the events. I took it with my mobile phone. I hope I can get some videos from the seminar organizer. Do you have the confidence that you can walk on fire?
