30 things I personally learn from 30 years of living

OK, so here you go. 

After 2 months of turning 30, I decided to write something based on what I've learnt in previous years of my life. So much hatred, anger, tears, laughters, excitement, leaning, and love, have brought me to where I am right now - which I gratefully happy about it.

1. Always choose to be a good person - even you have every option to do the opposite.
2. You need a credit card - to fulfill yourself on something you think you can't afford.
3. Gojek is (by far) the best thing that's ever invented - can't imagine how life would be without it.
4. Micellar water is the second best invention - taking from someone who always pray and wish and pray and wish that there will be a face cleaning robot someday.
5. Grow your empath, it's the only way to balance your ego.
6. Brows matters.
7. It is more than OK to have a birthday without a partner.
8. Invest in someone who loves you a little bit more than you love them - just a little bit. Because we all want to feel special.
9. Don't fall in love with the potential of a person, it will crushed you so bad in the end.
10. But do not afraid if one or two relationship fail because you fell for the expectation/potential, doesn't mean you won't meet the right person in the end.
11. There will be someone who you'd call home - comforting and accepting. Who want to know everything about your day, even you life. Just because they want to be part of it, even if it's just a bit.
12. You will meet someone that you can't get enough of. It's like you always craving for this person, every inch and detail of them.
13. Karma does exist. Whether it's a good or bad karma.
14. Make time to workout. You'll be very happy to see your abs starting to pop up,
15. Sunblock is double very super important. Trust me, sun burn is not comfortable, at all.
16. The tape on top of oil paper box is actually useful.
17. Make time for your parents and family. They're getting old.
18. Also, make time for 101 session with God. He'll always listen.
19. Love doesn't have to always be the center of your life. You don't have to worry about when and who, it'll come.
20. Appreciate quiet time. The older you get, the less amount of energy you have to face human being.
21. Do not afraid to walk away. Bad situation, bad job, bad relationship. Everything that make you feel less appreciated.
22. It is OK not to be OK. Seek for help if needed.
23. Travel. As much as you can, as far as you can. It will teach you how to live life rightfully.
24. Locals are the best teacher when you travel.
25. Something that you initially hate, can turn to something you like the most.
26. Appreciating someone else's time is a way to show them your respect.
27. No matter how attractive a person physically, their brain is the most sexiest part of their body.
28. Don't put a timeline for something you can't control. Sadness, healing process, personal growth - every person will have their define time to complete it.
29. If you have the money, spend. Full service airline for long haul flight, business class seat, executive train, comfortable hotel room, exclusive villa, fancy meal, good meal, or newest useless gadget. You have earned it, you deserve it.
30. Not everyone deserves your kindness. Some people is just a permanent asshole.

PS: happy new year, Hooman! More love and enjoyment to come! x

I never celebrate thanksgiving before. And I don't think I will. But I'll use the moment to actually say thanks. Thank you. I'm so thankful.

For the pray and question that has been answered

For my family

For the patience that Hanny and Galuh gave me :)

For the laugh that I still have

For the work that keeps my brain exercised 

For the warmest genuine love that I received from my colleague

For the most sweet hearted boss

For the presence of all of my best friend

For the dream that I still hold on to

For the strength that I still have

For the upcoming little friend named Zordon

For the opportunity that still came. Again an again

For You who never leaves me 

For You who always there and hear all my swompy story

For You who never judge me

For You who will always be my turning back point

I have losing myself in the past year. And I really really really want to have it back.

Thank you. And I hope I will never forget how lucky and grateful I am as a human being.

Happy holiday season everyone. Hope you all feel as blessed as I am!

these few days

Halooo semuaaa! (brasa banyak yang baca. hehe)
Iseng nih jam 1 pagi kurang 15 masih ol internet trus mau iseng udah lama gak nulis blog. Hehehe sebenernya ngantuuukk banget, mana mumunsnya (karimunku yang paling aylapyu dan paling eksis) juga lagi kurang sehat, jadinya beberapa hari belakangan ini kerjaannya deg-degan aja. Takut-takut mumun mogok di jalan dan jadi bikin keringetan gara-gara panik.

Sebenernya gak banyak kegiatan yang dilakukan belakangan ini. Cuma yaaa sok bermobilitas tinggi aja. Hehehe jadi yaaaa beberapa hari ini diisi dengan aktifitas yang gak penting seperti biasa. Dimulai dari hari sabtu minggu lalu yang berakhir dengan ngobrol berdua Tarces di Bapongga. Semua oraaaannnnng sibuk punya acara sendiri sepertinya sabtu itu. Dan gw, seperti biasa, gak enak untuk menginterupsi acara mereka. Alhasil ya itu deh, diem, duduk sampe pantat pegel di bawah pohon mangga itu. Pulang-pulang cuma Facebook-an, trus teduuurrr.


Terus hari minggunya bangun agak kesiangan. Gara-gara pas hari sabtu baru tidur jam 2 kalo gak salah. abis itu dilanjutkan dengan ritual pagi biasa: brunch (hahaha ngakak gw sambil ngetik ini), ngopi, dan nontonin acara TV lokal sampe jam setengah 3 sore. Karena itu hari minggu dan udara+cuacanya PANASSSSSS BANGET, jadinya gw memutuskan buat ikut nyokap gw tidur siang. Tidur siang gw yang indah beberapa kali terinterupsi sama telepon yang masuk, dan gw reject tentunya, sampe akhirnya gw memutuskan untuk bangun. Bangun-bangun gw kaget karena ternyata udah jam setengah 5 sore! Hahahaha akhirnya gw langsung nyamperin nyokap gw buat ngerekek ngajak makan Bakso Atom di Ciputat. Karena sebenernya itu udah rencana dari hari sabtu, ya mau gak mau, nyokap gw nge-iyain ajakan gw. Akhirnyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, sumpah gw kayak ngidam, gw makan bakso sum-sum dan bakso keju aylapyu itu.

Hari senin kmaren gw semangat banget mau ke kampus, gatau knapa. Hehehe gara-gara mau TOEFL preparation sebenernya. Gatau knapa ya, itu satu-satunya jam belajar yang gak ngebosenin menurut gw. Mungkin juga karena suasana belajarnya fun dan kelasnya enak. Selesai les jam 5, gw sama Ninta langsung caw ke Sency buat beli kue. Temen gw, si Andin aylapyu, ulang tahun besokannya. Jadi gw, Ein, dan teman-teman lainnya mau ngasih surprise. Gak lengkap kan kayaknya kalo surprise tanpa kue (apa sih). Hehehe akhirnya setelah menimbang-nimbang kue apa yang enaknya dikasih ke Andin, gw memutuskan untuk beli cupcakes. Oke, hari itu dilanjutkan dengan perjalanan super ngebut ke daerah bintaro. Ngasih surprise ke Andin, pas jam 12 , yang lagi setengah tidur. It went well, dan Andin beneran terkejut dengan kejutan yang dikasih sama kita. Sekali lagi, happy birthday dear Andin. Perjalanan pulang juga gw tempuh dengan super ngebut, karena gw udah ngantukk banget. Akhirnya sampai rumah dengan selamat tepat pada pukul setengah 2 pagi.

And yes, hari ini gw berangkat lagi ke kampus. Harusnya hari ini gw kuliah cuma jam 5.20 sampe jam 7 aja. Tapi karena ada permintaan buat ikut briefing KRS, jadi gw berangkat lebih awal. Jam 2.15 gw udah jalan dari rumah. Dan entah kenapa, gw menyadari kalo pas perjalanan pergi tadi gw nyetirnya leleeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttt banget. Selesai briefing, gw lanjut kuliah sampe jam 7. Oke, SISOP sialan itu sudah terlewatkan dengan baik. Selesai kuliah, gw langsung menuju mobil dan berencana buat kerumah Raja buat ngeliat proses pembuatan proyek SIGnya dia dan Adri. Adri juga udah dirumah Raja dari sore. Perjalanan menuju rumah Raja gak begitu macet (tumben, sumpah). Pas gw telepon ke Adri, ternyata manusia-manusia raksasa (Raja, Adri, Tebhe, Nasha -red) yang ada di rumah Raja udah pada mau bergerak ke PIM. Akhirnya gw lurus terus menuju PIM tanpa jadi belok ke komplek kostrad. Niatnya sihhh mau ngomongin SIG sama Adri, tapiii yang ada malahan banyakan ketawa, ngobrol, banyak tingkah, foto-foto sama makan. Intinya: penting banget ke PIM.

Pergi sama mereka ngebuat gw ngerasa kayak kurcaci deh. Hahahaha sumpah kalo mereka ngebaca pernyataan gw barusan pasti mereka ngakak-ngakak pengen noyor gw. Somehow gw mikir ya, kalo cowok-cowok super tinggi kayak tiang listrik macam Adri, Tebhe, Raja, Guntur, ntarnya dapet pacar setinggi gw. Hahahaha pasti kalo lagi pergi berdua banyak yang ngomentarin deh. Hihihihi yaaa apapun itulah, kalo udah sayang mah peduli amat. Ya gak? Anywayyy, to do list buat beberapa hari kedepan kayanya cuma satu: ngerjain SIG biar cepet selesai. Dan mudah-mudahan bisa cepet selesai deh yaaaa. Proyek-proyek sialan itu memang pasti masih mengahantui tidurku malam ini. Hahahaha.

I wish you all have great day for the next few days people! :)
