Earth Hour

I think first time I heard about earth hour was 4 or 5 years ago. Younger me wanted to celebrated it and tried to turn of lamps and electronic devices in my parents' house. My mom then got upset and told me no need to do that. She contended that saving energy should not be celebrated, it is the must thing to do. Well, I couldn't argue with her, because the fact is we were often reminded to turn off lamps, water, and television whenever we're not using it.

2011, the first time I got a chance to celebrate Earth Hour in my dormitory. I was a freshman back then, and I turned off my rice cooker, my fan, unplugged my laptop charger, and turned off the only lamp in my room.

2012, I got my chance to be a part of the first ever Earth Hour in Depok. I was in the event section, and I was a liaison officer for stand up comedy and accustic performances.




2013, I celebrated Earth Hour in my rent room. And I regret that I couldn't ask my house-mates to participate in Earth Hour. I was just going online and fell asleep

2014. This time, I asked my fellow house-mates to participate in Earth Hour. So there were four of us. And there was still one lamp left on. We spent our Earth Hour with playing cards. 14 minutes before it officially ended, they gave up and turned the tv to watch this horror show called Mister Tukul. I went back to my room and fell asleep with lights out and nothing plugged at the station.

So, Earth Hour for me is not just a celebration or just a reminder of how to save energy. It is an event that connect us human together of things that we ignored. togetherness.

See you in the next Earth Hour, well, if I am alive :p

A Story of Unsuccessful Romance: Chapter 1

 I Saw You Across The Classroom I would've never thought that the moment I saw him for the first time across our classroom was the moment that I would remember for the longest time. I was just a 14 year old kid who like pretty people with pretty eyes. Little did I know I would think over him over the years.. I got accepted to one of reputable public high school in my city, barely. My name was at the bottom of selection results, like, the last 5 people who got in to this school. Nevertheless, I was excited, of course. It was my dream to be a student here since it would help me path my way to go to reputable universities in the future. Back then, this school had two special programs, the acceleration program where you could study in high school for two years, and the international program- where you (were supposed to) learn all the subjects in English. I just finished my orientation and I was initially studying at grade X(ten) - 3. My mom, who is a high school teacher herself in anot

feelings and emotion

2023 is such a rollercoaster ride, while it was mostly screaming fun, I still had a few low moments. Especially now that I am not in Japan anymore. I tried to rationalize what I have been feeling by skimming through journal about re-entry/reverse culture shock. Quoting from Marquette University , re-entry is a common reaction to returning home from studying abroad. I felt sad, melancholic, and frustrated by how I should behave with my coworkers; wondering why I have been feeling down a lot for the past three months. Usually, I would just record video journal as a replacement for this blog/writing, however since it's already late at night and I need to get this out immediately without my sister listening what I am experiencing right now, I thought, "why not going back to my usual blog so I can process what to do or how to behave?" So here I am. After my birthday, which was a couple of days ago, I felt this sudden change of mood. I no longer desire to go on a hiking trip w

Senior Thesis Story - The Never Ending Regrets

This story was originally posted on my Tumblr. Had to set it to private because of, reasons. This, is a story of How I Die…. No, no. It’s actually one of the sad story of a senior student. How she became so careless about her university’s life. It all began when a young maiden called Nedayah decided to click a subject oh her academic report. The Senior Thesis. A six credit subject that leads most of seniors to success, or never ending failures. There are many tears and blood and sad and painful stories behind this. No matter what, when you decided to graduate university or college from this path, you have to go forward. You have got to decide what kind of problem you want to take for research, what kind of methods you want to use, and what are the reasons why you choose this problem. So one day, Nedayah had an idea. That she will take a research about: the formulation of a local regulation about buildings. Her minds wandered for so long, thinking about what city she would choose.
