The fact that you can read this post means I am done with my revision and now only waiting for my official diploma and transcript. So, I guess, congraduations to myself? ^^ Anyway, I’ll divide this post into two, a story about my defense, which you can skip, and a reflection on getting my Ph.D., …
More Quotes, More Inspiration and Motivation
I posted some quotes before (read here!) But I’ve still got a lot. I’m kinda crazy about “quotes”. When I listen to a song, watch a movie or a drama, or read a book, and then encounter beautiful sentences, whether it is motivational, inspirational, or simply shoves the reality onto my face, I love them. …
Be Nice and Kind, Make Others Happy, and Be Happy Yourself
One of the happiest moments in my life is when someone told me that I helped them in the past but I don’t remember anything about it. It makes me feel good and better about myself somehow because, I’ll be honest, there are times when I am kind and nice to people because I want …
Some Quotes, Some Life Lessons
This time I want to post some quotes that I’ve been gathering from books that I’ve read, doramas and movies that I’ve watched, and perhaps some lyrics of the songs I’ve listened to, etc. Well, I used to write this down in my physical diary back then. But now I don’t really keep a physical …
My Parents’s “First” Video Calls
Hi, this actually happened in August 25, the second day Fall semester started, but I thought I could put it here too 🙂 Actually it’s not the first time I had video-calls with my parents, but usually I had to wait for my sister to go back home to visit our parents to be able …
Friendship: How do You Define A Friend?
How many friends do you have? How do you know they are your friends? How do you define a friend? This topic becomes kinda intriguing to me lately. I know that before, in another post, I said that “…either I’m friends with nobody or I’m friends with everybody.” (You can read it here). However, really, …
Confidence=Beauty
Today’s post might be short, ’cause actually I have talked about this before (read here), but I think it won’t hurt to write about it again. Well, someone I’m following on Twitter tweeted about how it baffled her when many people said they were ugly. And I’m like, “If this ain’t me.” 🙈✌🏼 She said …
Love and Relationship: Are They who You Want to be with?
The other day I made this Instagram poll about my favorite people. Well, of course I love them all, but sometimes we have a preference, right? So I made a poll asking my followers-my friends-to guess which one I love better. I put only their pics that I took from Google Image search results. I …
(TW: Suicide) Care for them when they are still around, not when they’re already dead!
It was July 17, 2020 night time at my place, July 18, 2020 Japan time. I was on my Twitter since it’s weekend (and I’m learning to take a break only on Weekdays). I was scrolling when I saw the post about the passing of Miura Haruma. I was “surprised” and really couldn’t believe it. …
Being A Motivator: Am I Entitled?
When I went back to my hometown in Indonesia, I was invited to my high schools (both Junior and Senior) and asked to motivate the students there. I was asked to do the same in my elementary school when I went back to Indonesia before as well. I feel honored, of course, but sometimes I’m …
