Meet New Faces

It's been forever since my very last writing. And i kinda miss my blog to be honest, i will not put so much words into this post but whatever, so here we go.

Long short story, i finally got placed into this one private university in Jakarta. Uni life wasn't actually that bad as i thought it would be. I quite enjoy everything that goes into my life, and i really thank God for what i have had recently. And the most important thing is, let me introduce my very indescribable uni mates, they're all pretty cool people. And btw the fact is, it's really fun to get to know new people with various kind of thinking, faces, personality and etc. Well you can't actually see their whole true faces here in my blog because i won't post faces here, but the point is i really enjoyed spending time with them and i thought what makes uni life seems not that depressing (because i'm not selected in public uni) is because the people that surrounds me with ~positive energies~ and i'm very glad to met them. 

p.s. the picture was taken in Gunung Pancar 18/10/2016.

For my dearest friends,

I just realized that i have the greatest classmates ever, i can't put it into words but i really am thankful for this kind of friendship i experienced with you guys, for whom i've been with for the past three years in high school, for the people that unconsciously brighten up my days in school and to where i always went back to.

Sounds

I stand in between two huge walls

It pushing me

It's hard for me to breathe, the lack of oxygen i had, making me feels like i'm about to gone away

No where to run 

The only choice i had is to fly away to the sky 

But the pain i had to vanish these two walls is very challenging 

The dark hollow in front of me, it keep calling my name 

Seems like wanting me to go there

Sometimes i feel like giving up and fly away 

But 

The sound that calls my name, the sound of whatever could happen

I smell magical things live in that darkness in front of me 

So then, i decided, to just keep walking in between the dark path that could bring me anywhere,

maybe it could be magical that leads to happiness

Or maybe 

Worse.

We don't know what's gonna happen next but, 

We'll see, soon.

Learning From Coco Chanel

i learned something in life that the most powerful, the most popular people in the world are the saddest one.
i believe that people are pushing and making a super great things by what they have felt before, the sadness that has arise them and explode them from nothing to the most important human being in the whole universe.
it become their motivation to be able to explore more and more and at the end, and from what they do pretty much they'll cover up soon about their sadness.

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel is one of my woman inspiration. Her biggest trademark is the "little black dress" and suits. What i wanted to keep up with the topic is, after a very tragic thing happened, her lover died in a car accident which she loves the most, she became a super strong women whom invented the timeless fashion brand, Chanel. From living in a orphanage until the death of her lover, her life was so hard for anyone to take.

but then, what she had achieved from her hard work is, nothing in the world could make her more happier than to be with the one she lost from her past life. 

her mother, 

and her lover.

Pantai, Malam.

Tidak ada rasa yang lebih damai seperti saat sedang duduk-duduk di ujung pantai pada malam hari yang sunyi ditemani dengan secangkir cokelat panas dan musik yang menenangkan. Oh, dan juga keajaiban terjangan angin yang menyapu wajah di tengah pantai seakan dunia ini milik sendiri, begitu damai.

Oh, betapa indahnya pantai dan malam hari..
Terima kasih, Tuhan.

Last Two Months of The Year

"For good times and bad times, i'll be on your side forever more. That's what friends are for.." 

-Dionne Warwick

I've never been so much happier than today.

Kamis, 19 November 2015.

Agenda pertama hari ini adalah pengambilan nilai ujian praktik mata pelajaran olahraga, seperti tahun ke tahun dilaksanakan senam, dengan tiap-tiap kelas dibagi menjadi dua kelompok. Kebetulan saya mendapat kelompok pertama tetapi mendapat giliran tampil pada saat istirahat kedua. Kurang lebih sebulan persiapan senam sudah kami laksanakan, dan penampilan kami tadi siang menurut saya cukup memuaskan.  

Merasa deg-degan sedikitpun tidak, mungkin karena sudah terbiasa tampil semasa di bangku SMP. Menyenangkan. Baru kali ini merasakan suatu getaran dari masa SMA. Agak sedih mengingat sebentar lagi harus berpisah dengan teman-teman yang sudah bersama-sama sejak kelas 1 SMA.

Disaat sudah mulai merasa nyaman dengan suatu keadaan, disaat itu pula saya harus merelakan nya lagi, mengingat waktu terus berjalan, yang akan memisahkan kami semua.

Selekas senam selesai, kami tertunya dengan siapnya langsung mengabadikan kenangan ini bersama-sama sekelas.

DAN

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS...

Pada saat itu pula saya dipanggil oleh sahabat dekat saya SA dan PP.
Sambil membawa kantong plastik mendekat menuju saya, saya sudah senang karena dibelikan minuman oleh mereka, mengingat saya begitu lelah sehabis tampil, dan dengan santainya mereka bilang 'nih'

Ternyata tebakan saya meleset,

Yashica FX-3 super 2000

Tanpa melihat ke sekeliling saya langsung menjerit karena ini adalah tipe kamera yang saya idam-idamkan tetapi tidak kesampaian untuk membeli karena lain dan banyak hal. Tidak pernah terlintas dibenak saya akan mendapatkan kamera analog ini, karena... memang sebelumnya tidak ada yang memberi hadiah ulangtahun seperti ini. Pokoknya mereka adalah teman terbaik dan sudah habis kata untuk menjelaskan betapa beruntungnya saya memiliki teman seperti mereka. 

I can't wait to use my baby as soon as possible! 

Btw i am very very very thank you for giving me this super dope analogue camera my dear friends, Yol and Nggi <3 

P.S. i may be not that good in using this camera because this is my very first analogue camera and i'll learn how to capture good pictures though. My very first photo will be dedicated to them, please underline my word. xo

Well hi that's me, no film cassette inside tho lol. 

Happy me!

& blessed.

Books & Pencils

Hi! It's been a long time since i wrote my last writing, and i just realize that i should write something despite the lack of energy i have that just wasted from too much preparing for the national examination and SBMPTN. Well, as you know it's getting closer to the day, the day that i have to let go of school and step ahead to the next stage, yes, that's true, the university.

I wanted to talk about my school life. Now i am on the point of real mad confusedness that every 3rd grade of high school students talked about. First, lets just turn back time when i first entered senior year. The first point is my friends, they be like, where should i go? what major do i have to take? and blah blah blah and  i remember that i was so happy, focused, really straight forward and well planned for my university and studies. All the positive energy in me are burning still. I already knew what major for me and the university i'll take, but now, today, as we know that it's getting closer to the day of SBMPTN and stuff, i lost track. It feels like all i can see is a dark future, my plan for the study all messed up because of one and many factors.

Fyi, i wanted to take engineering school and on the other side, i wanted to take the international relations studies TOO. Because i have a big interest in that though, in fact, as i see studying IR is my kind of thing. I wanted to be in a part of world's organization and caring about world's problem; war, terrorism, global warming, hunger, etc. 

But in my point of view, to be in the world organization, i have to study the real major like for example, the iceberg analyst for the global warming issue, they should be entering maybe the environmental engineering or something that related to that so they could just that easy to enter the organization because they already knew what categorize of their job desk that they'll take. And now i have no plan for my future, for now, i hope.

And yes i know, i should rather study to achieve my dreams than confusing what will i take in the uni but don't you know that super extremely hard problem that haven't been solved just like jsfsalicnidspj they're running out of my head every single day. I should better setting everything up because everyone else is preparing for their running too, to reach the uni and major they'll take. I hope everything will be easy and the choice is in God's hand. Well bye, everyone is on their way to the running track! Wish me a bunch of luck!

So, what do you guys think the major that i have to take?

Pohon dan Ombak

Tak ada kata yang tepat untuk mengingatmu, kata sang ombak yang dengan perlahan menghilang dari pandangan pohon kelapa. Sepertinya orang-orang juga lebih tertarik berada di dekat mu ketimbang didekat ku. Selepas sang ombak sampai di ujung pantai, rasanya hanya sejarak satu jengkal antara ombak dan pohon tetapi satu jengkal itu terasa sangat jauh. Entah apa yang membuat itu jauh tetapi mungkin jika hanya ombak yang berusaha mencapai pohon sedangkan pohon bersantai-santai dengan manusia yang sedang beristirahat di bawah rindangnya pohon,

tidak akan menghasilkan apa pun.


Mungkin kah seperti ini percakapan sang ombak untuk pohon

Pernahkah aku mengganggumu, maaf jika kamu merasa terganggu.
Tapi boleh kah aku menikmati kerinduan yang merasuk ke sanubariku; dengan membayangkan seyummu, sentuhanmu, dan kamu tahu? suaramu mengalir di telingaku, setidaknya cukup membuatku merasakan kehadiranmu dan kerinduanku akan dirimu
Jangan kau takut, cukup sampai rasa itu menghilang, entah sampai kapan
Tapi aku berjanji akan tidak mengusik kehidupanmu

Vertical Garden Method

Bangunan-bangunan di Jakarta semakin lama semakin meningkat. Dan kebalikan nya untuk lahan perkebunan. Sedangkan alat transportasi semakin banyak, dan tentu saja menghasilkan gas-gas yang sangat banyak. Apabila jumlah pohon di Jakarta semakin menipis dan malahan semakin banyak gedung-gedung pencakar langit, apa yang akan terjadi? tentu saja pasti tahu jawabannya, Global Warming. 

Global Warming akan terus meningkat, tapi bagaimana kita meminimalisir kenaikan global warming yang bisa membahayakan bumi? salah satunya dengan adanya pohon. Tapi melihat penjelasan di atas, bahwa lahan untuk pohon semakin menipis, bagaimana caranya? Caranya adalah dengan metode baru yang menurut saya sangat efesien dan menguntungkan. Yaitu, Vertical Garden. 

Vertical Garden adalah menanam tanaman secara vertikal yang dikarenakan keterbatasan lahan. Selain membantu menghasilkan oksigen, vertical garden juga menambah estetika suatu lahan/bangunan. Jadi mulai sekarang tidak ada lagi alasan untuk tidak menanam tanaman untuk kebaikan kita bersama. 

Cara membuat vertical garden pun tidak lah susah. Bisa disimak di sini http://mulanovich.blogspot.com/2014/02/cara-membuat-vertical-garden.html

Indah bukan? Selamat mencoba buat bagi yang tertarik. Dan jika saya mempunyai rumah nanti, akan saya rancang sedemikian rupa vertical garden ala saya dan yang terpenting ini juga memiliki fungsi untuk me-relax-kan mata karena kehijauan dan keasrian tanaman di sekitar rumah saya kelak hehe.

Langkah Kecil Untuk si Rimba

Selamat memasuki jam-jam kritis berpuasa semuanya. Semoga puasa hari ini berjalan dengan lancar, aman, dan sentosa. Hari ini gue mau ngasih tau betapa gue sebel banget sama orang yang memakai tissue berlebihan. Ya, gue sangat sensitif akan hal ini. 

Bisa dibilang gue pecinta tissue. Maniak tissue. Atau apalah itu sebutannya. Gue sangat tidak bisa hidup tanpa tissue. Barang yang paling nggak boleh ketinggalan untuk persiapan jalan-jalan, bukan handphone bukan dompet, tapi tissue. Gue gak tau bakal gimana kalau nggak ada tissue, khususnya toilet-tissue. Walaupun tentu saja sebagian besar tempat pasti menyediakan tissue, tapi i don't feel like using public tissue. Kecuali kalau kepepet banget ya. Dan tidak sedikit orang-orang menilai gue "ih sok bersih banget sih, banyak gaya lo!" 

Selain penggila tissue gue juga sangat gila kebersihan dan kerapihan. Ngeselin banget kan, bagi sebagian orang.

Ya. Kembali ke topik awal. "Memakai tissue belebih"

Sering kali gue ngeliat adik menggunakan tissue berlebih. Dan emang, gue selalu stock tissue di kamar, kamar mandi, dan sebagian tempat di sisi rumah. Satu dua kali dibiarkan aja dia memakai tissue kebanyakan, tapi lama kelamaan gue jadi sebel sendiri dan akhirnya gue meledak dan meneriaki dia yang tidak berdosa, berdosa sih karena memakai tissue berlebihan. "KALAU PAKE TISSUE GAK USAH BANYAK-BANYAK! SECUKUPNYA AJA! BUANG-BUANG POHON AJA!"

NAHLOH. 

Ups. Keceplosan dan tiba-tiba hening diantara kita. Tiba-tiba adik gue memecahkan keheningan diantara kita dengan kata-katanya yang tidak berdosa 'loh kan yang lebih sering pake tissue itu kakak? Mestinya kakak dong yang buang-buang pohon?'

Makasih, dik. Telah mengingatkanku akan betapa borosnya diri gue ketika berhadapan dengan tissue?!@##$#%$#@#% tapi kamu juga termasuk boros kok, adikku tersayang. (anaknya tetep gak mau disalahin)

Nah dari sini gue cuma pengen kasih tau, jangan muluk-muluk memakai tissue seperti gue ya karena sesungguhnya tissue terbuat dari bahan baku kulit kayu yang dijadikan pulp (bubur kertas). Dan pastinya kayu didapat dari penebahan pohon-pohon di hutan. 

Fun Fact ternyata penggunaan tissue berlebihan --> menebang pohon --> global warming. Ternyata selain menambah kerusakan hutan bisa bikin global warming ya? Jawabannya iya. 

CATATAN PENTING untuk kita semua: 

1 pohon berumur 6 tahun hanya bisa menghasilkan 40 lembar tissue, tapi bayangkan berapa banyak orang yang memakai tissue di dunia ini? Kalau kita alihkan/mengurangi jumlah pemakaian tissue satu pohon berumur 6 tahun itu bisa mengkasilkan O2 yang bisa menghidupi 3 orang di dunia ini. 

Nah yuk kita menjaga lingkungan mulai dari cara kecil seperti ini, walaupun untuk gue juga sangat sulit karena gue penggila tissue tapi apa salahnya untuk mencoba hal yang positif?

What Really Leads To Success?

I read lots of people confusions and worries about their future. About how it gonna be, will they survive,
or even worse, the blankness about their future. For example like they haven't plan any goals yet for themselves.

But on the other side, seeing from the older generations, there are lots of successful people too out there with their own ways. Either from Architecture, environment, medical, business, law, etc.

But then i started to worry about mine too. Will i be a successful person? I want to be a valuable person. I want to make something big. Because i am here for a reason. But how? how can i reach that?

I have just watched one of my favourite Youtube channel, TED-Ed. The video talks about how to be a successful person.

These are some points from the video:
1. Love what you do
2. Work really hard
3. Focus on one thing not everything
4. Keep pushing yourself
5. Put good ideas
6. Improving yourself from what you do
7. Serve other something that value because something isn't just about me, me, me.
8. Persist because there's no overnight success

How much effort you put in = the amount of success you will have.

From the point number five, when you feel like giving up, just keep reminding yourself that being successful makes you a happier person.

I or we might not be successful yet but this may be one of my little notes to reach our dreams!

Reading Fiction

I really love reading books, especially fiction novels. I never stop reading them and enjoy it. But lately I feel like why did I read such thing? It’s just a fiction and there’s nothing scientific in it. Reading one fiction is such a waste of time. So I stopped and I decided to read more articles, scientific books, and some kind of that. And I feel so curious, is it true that there’s no good in reading fictions?

So I searched on Google and put my keywords on..

“Reading Fiction..” and there’s one topic that pops into my eyes, “Reading Fiction Improves Brain Connectivity and Function”. Wow what a nice title you got there, so I click the link that put me into this website https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/the-athletes-way/201401/reading-fiction-improves-brain-connectivity-and-function

I started to read and I’ll tell you guys what it says on the article,

From the article above, It says that reading fiction can make you feel how everyone else feeling.

Well for me, it’s true, I am that one kind of girl who really care about what other people think & feels. My psychology test has proved that. Maybe the main cause is because I read lots and lots books since I was little. I read anything, i’m not picky if it comes to books. Or reading materials.

Another case is, if you read books, you knew lots of different things than other who doesn’t read. Like lots of feeling from different story and point of view that you may have not found in your daily life yet.

Reading improves brain connectivity

“The changes by reading a novel registered in the left temporal cortex.”

The conclusion is, the more you read a novel you knew how to be in other people’s shoes. Because you’ve read lots of situations in it. And second, reading can make you forget the troubles you got in your life. Well at least you could escape from it for a little time, am I right?
