Waiting is not the same to being patient. Being patient is choosing the right thing and go through to see the end of it. You can be patient by waiting and holding yourself. But there's so much shapes to being patient and it isn't the only one. If the right thing is to wait, then it is. If the right thing is to...
I was swiping through my instagram stories a couple of nights ago when I found that Emma from A Beautiful Mess had written a post about life lesson from her parents. I read that and couldn't agree more that, as she said, "the older I get, the more gratitude I feel toward my mom and dad,". Maybe because my point of view has...
Because it's been a long time since I write about books and still confidently stating on my profile that I am a lifetime reader, I thought it would be nice to update about my current reading situation. So, this year, I have skipped two of the most awaited book fair in town : Big Bad Wolf 2018 last April and Indonesia International Book...
Kalo nggak salah inget yaaa, pertama kali saya denger lagu These Are the Days of Our Lives itu taun 2012. Hasil ngestalk video lulus-lulusan senior yang pake lagu itu tapi versinya Marcella Mangabeira. Pertama denger langsung suka banget karena liriknya gini : Those are the days of our livesThe bad things in life were so few It sounds totally optimistic, buat saya sih...
picture source : here Lagi pengeeeeen bgt nulis soal bahagia belakangan ini. Soalnya entah kenapa beberapa kali, lagi ngerasa seneng dan nggak ada beban banget, terus kayak tersadar dan mikir, am I deserve to be happy? Sebenernya sedih sih karena terbersit pikiran kayak gitu. Walaupun saya juga paham betul kondisi kayak apa yang saya alami sampai bisa mikir gitu. Tapi terus jadi sadar,...
That morning, a thought suddenly crossed my mind. I have started this blog in 2009, back then, a lot of personal story got published and I have several of them deleted by now (talking about erasing evidences of a younger version of me writing in cheesier style, haha). I was looking back on my archives and a lot of my early writings were...
Sudah 5 setengah bulan sejak saya mencoba disiplin untuk menggunakan bullet journal (ala Fitri yang pada dasarnya cuma to-do list harian). Dan karena bukunya udah mau abis juga, jadi sekalian lah saya mau cerita soal pengalaman saya kembali punya jurnal. As I have said countless times, saya dulu adalah an avid diary writer. Selama 3 tahun SMA diary saya sampe ada 10+ yang...
Recently, I had an appointment, in which I have to be present at a place rather far from my parents' home exactly at 4 pm. I have just arrived at my parents' home that morning, and cut my morning appointment short because of that. I told my mother that I have to leave again in around 2 hours, considering the time I took...
Setelah main bingo k drama di instastories (keisengan jaman now), ternyata saya nggak segitunya mantengin dan nontonin drama korea (SELF CLAIM YANG PATUT DIPERTANYAKAN). Kayaknya sih karena saya anaknya suka agak susah move on kalo abis nonton drama bagus terus kalo nonton drama on-going malah nggak sabar nungguin episode berikutnya terus drop deh. Tapi sering juga sih saya drop di episode 7 atau...
from here Kenapa eh kenapa judulnya kok ada hate hate nya (ehehe). Ini... sekedar mau menuangkan apa yang ada di kepala saya belakangan ini, sih. Jadi... saya nih anaknya banyak pet peeves-nya. Ada orang makan nggak abis, buat saya ganggu. Ada orang suka becanda vulgar, saya kesel. Ada artis diwawancara tapi jawabannya nggak nyambung sama pertanyannya juga saya sebel banget nontonnya (ini lah...
It's been a while since my last post and it's also been years since my last japanese drama (ha!). Anyway, last week I decided to download Viu app on my phone and WHOA! LOOK AT THOSE DRAMAS (culture shock). I already have a list of what korean drama I'd like to watch, but I never get to actually watch it because I prefer...
The initial title was : "Starting a Journal (or Bullet Journal, or A Meal Planner, or A Planner, or A Weekly To-Do List Even Though I Have Once Told Myself I won't Start Another)". And we will get into that in a bit. I'm not that good with longtime planning. I mostly goes with the flow and when I have something I want...
Have I told you that my mother actually banned me from traveling? Ever since I left for Malaysia in 2015, she already against me traveling solo, or traveling with friends. She didn't really like me going somewhere new only with friends and not my family who can be responsible about me. But since my father allowed me to go, she went on with...
