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?

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.
