Analyzing and Retrospection

As far as I'm concerned, we are better at analyzing things that has a certain distance from ourselves.

Let me get it straight, you see things better when you're not busy thinking what you should do about yourself; a different point of view, 3rd person view. Some people manage to control this and make themselves able to see from one point to another.

This is a thing that you can practice on. You should be able to get in and out of the case you're in, deduct or analyze it thoroughly and make a solution out of it. Or so I may say. Other times, you need help from someone else.

Whenever a conflict of interest happens, each of you will try to find a solution for it, or seek help. And after all is done, comes the retrospective phase. Doesn't always have to be instantly, but due time, people do retrospect and think about what had happened, and what had been done.

At the moment of retrospection, we can look things more clearer; and with all the data collected, can and will make a mental note so that it won't happen again in the future. This is what we living beings do, experience and adapt to the nature and ecosystem that we live in; both natural and artificial.

Before I get ahead of myself, let me just analyze and retrospect on myself, and rest before it gets too late...

Late and unprepared

Today I was, supposed to:
- woke up early (did, but fail to really wake up)
- grab my bicycle and went to a meeting point (being late, I ride a motorcycle instead)
- meet someone and connect with everybody else (met the someone, not really talk that much with everyone)

What I did manage to do:
- participate in a photo hunt (despite being late)
- paid my debt to the bicycle store (it has been a while)
- went to the Badung market and chat for a bit (even took pictures of chicken carcasses and made everybody looked because I'm using a lot of flash)
- got myself fed with cakes and such (some of them free, thanks to a friend :p) - had coffee

What happen after I went back:
- twitter went off suddenly due to lots of updates from the earlier event
- couldn't took a decent nap because next door was renovating the room; lots of pounding and grinding
- got myself a meal and went to help a friend
- got myself another meal from a friend
- finish installing some stuff in my friend's room
- got myself cleaned up
- continue reading 'Anak Bajang Menggiring Angin' (for maybe the 4th or 5h time)
- writing this

So, just some boring stuffs I did on a sunday.

I do really hope I can write something better next time, for someone to read.

And, this is another way for me to calm myself down (meaning I am rumbling inside, for many reasons)

Forgive my mumbling,
Niki - Denpasar, 2012
