Day 29 - Self Quarantine

Hi.

So yesterday I finally fixed that leaky jet spray I have in my toilet. I felt this satisfaction because I just reached another level of living alone: fixing things without the help of a plumber. I mean as long as the damage was not big and I can fix it just by watching a YouTube videos, I think I can handle it.

Ah... I was so happy yesterday.

For a couple of days my package from internet shopping have been arriving and I had to go downstairs to pick them up (almost every day). Then yesterday when I picked an Innisfree moisturizer that I bought almost a week ago, I saw the cats near my tower and I was wondering whether they've eaten or not. Usually someone must've fed them, but looking at this situation, not many people go out just to feed them, I think. So I went back to my place and grabbed the cat dry food I've been keeping for months and I fed the cats. Surprisingly, there were a lot of cats turned up that day and they all ate what I gave. I was so happy but I forgot to bring my phone so no photos. Aah but that's okay.

I've been using this Slowly app, to send letters and find a new pen pal, but I haven't replied any of the letters because of the overwhelming situation I felt. But I finally gathered up my energy and replied about 3 letters. Life is getting better for me though..

And yup, tomorrow I have to go to the office and I hope the train is not packed. I've seen updates from Twitter where people protested the new schedule from the Commuter Line company to adjust with this social distancing situation. Instead of keeping people to stand 6 feet away, because of the new schedule and their policy to check everyone's temperature before entering the train station, people were lining up and I saw that they stood closely to each other.

Pfft

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...

No, I'll go first

Today was a long day, and I came home with ache on both of my legs. Funny. I recalled those times when I was still in Tokyo, I could walk for miles and miles and hours after hours. Last time when mom visited, I walked back and forth here and there to accommodate both my mom and sister. My mom wasn't feeling well during the trip, and she couldn't walk to as many places as my sister could. It was also summer, yet I wasn't as tired as I'm feeling right now. After the trip finished, I sent them both off at Haneda airport. That time, I was feeling okay. I would meet them in a couple of months since I'd be graduating. I was okay, unlike those times when I sent my family off at Soetta after visiting me in Depok. I was always sad and would always cry after taking my mom, or my dad, or my sister (my brother rarely visited) there to go back to Padang. I felt lonely, and sad, and there was this huge hollowness of being left.  And just tonight, I was watching this music video a...

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 was a high school teacher herself in a...
