this is one of those days...

where everything just makes you upset and doesn't go like it usually does..

Depok, 10 March 2016

It's been 2 weeks since the water here at my almost-5-years-rent-room goes bad. By bad, I mean somehow the dishwater from the sink infiltrates the water storage. The water coming out from the faucet is smelly, dirty, and absolutely not good for your skin. It ruins my meals plan (which I prepare by myself, because I can't wash the vegetables with that water), my Sunday market day (yes, of course. Can't buy anything if I can't even make the food), my hair, and my skin (itchy as hell). I didn't even wash this morning and only brush my teeth and wash my face in the workplace. HOW FANTASTIC!

Not to mention that there was a disruption with commuter line, so the train ended the journey at Manggarai Station. To go to Sudirman Station, we, the passengers, had to take the feeder train. And it took a very long time until it arrived. What was happening, you say? Well apparently there was a train heading to Solo plummeted between Karet Station and Tanah Abang Station. So the usual train that I take everyday to Duri can't make it through.

Inhale, byotch.. Inhale and exhale........

I really want to move out from this house. I've done my research, too. But looks like the price in Jakarta for a month rent room could cover about 3 months in this room. I'm not rich yet, babe. To think that I have to pay that much money so I can totally ignore another living expenses is sooo unplanned of me. I'm saving, for my trip abroad. Even though I don't like it, I'd like to try those bucket lists that most people read online. You know, that things to do before you die, places to visit before you die, things to do in your 20s, yadda yadda yadda...

If I were living in a rural area, I can save for my dream trip.
But honey I'm living in the capital. Unless I'm working for a big corporate bank, or a private consultant, I can't do whatever I want with those evil paper. And here I am, don't earn that much, but I've exchanged my social life, my weekend, and my relationships with people. Wunderbar!

Oh, how are things going in 2019, future me?

frustrated, or maybe even depressed

First of all, this is just a personal blog trying to process my personal experience, emotions, and feelings in light of my personal recent events which cause this frustration. Part of why this is happening probably was because I had these thoughts for several years, of my fears losing the ability to use my hands, or legs. The ability to hear. I already lost the ability to see normally ages ago, which also, probably the cause of my accident. I would like to apologize in advance for this post, if it seems insensitive. Again, this is just me trying to process. I don't know why, but since 2019, my August has always been cursed - if I ever leave my nest. The recent accident was worse, I fell into the sea, while I was just walking through this dark, un-illuminated path small dock in Sorong and somehow my left arm hit something which resulted in a broken arm - wearing spalk during the 4 hours flight to Jakarta which continued on several days - and a surgery to install plate and screws. It...

A sudden realization...

 It's so funny that I just realized this, like at this actual moment, that the post above - where I wish I'll leave this earth first - happened exactly a year before my accident. Confused? Let me explain. I told you that I fell down and broke my arm, right? The one where I needed to go through surgery to install plates and screw in my bones until it fully heals. That one accident that I keep thinking even though it happened more than 6 months ago. I fell down the sea on August 8, 2025. I got a taste of death a year after I made that post. And I freaked out. I chickened out. I'm suddenly scared of the thoughts of dying, painfully and slowly. Looks like I just wanted an easy way out. A peaceful ending. Maybe in my sleep. Or a quick one where I won't feel a thing. But I tasted what it felt like when your limb broke down. The way I screamed that night when the emergency nurse was trying to put on the spalk on me so I can safely return to Jakarta taking a 4 hour flight. How ...

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...
