Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
About things that I might have known but been too blind to be aware of and so I realized and thought I finally learned.
Hello, I’m back with my try-to-reflect-on-my-experience post. Well, actually I posted the brief version of it on my Instagram, but in Indonesian. I thought I might as well share it here in English and elaborate a bit. (You can skip the next paragraph, though, ’cause it’s just a long introduction and I simply couldn’t skip…
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….
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…
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…
I’d been reading a lot about gaslighting lately: what it is, the example, how to deal with it, etc. To be honest, I’m not sure if I can let anyone gaslight me. I feel like I have control of myself so there’s no way I let someone take such control over me. But, well, one…
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…
“Racists don’t think they are racists. When we try to tell them that what they do or say can be considered racist, some of them will be quick to defend believing and saying it’s just about preference. I thought it applied only to racists; I was wrong.” I started this post with that caption I…
I’ve been officially fangirling over Hey! Say! JUMP more than 7 months now. And, I’ve witnessed quite a number of “dramas” 🙈😅 Tbf, I didn’t sign up for these dramas. It’s really not the kind of fandom I imagined it to be. The fandom I imagined was the peaceful one, where I can interact with…
It’s been on my mind for a while. I’ve been thinking about this since some time ago, this thing called Schadenfreude. I often see people trying to be grateful or thankful for their life by realizing that there are others that are less fortunate, and then some people would label this as Schadenfreude. I just…
Disclaimer: 1) You can actually skip the first few paragraphs, focus on the bolded sentences, and go towards the end. 2) The pics I post here are actually of the brochure I got from the doctor in my Campus Health Center. It’s made based on the guidance by CDC/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S….
