Seni mendinginkan kepala

 


(Tulisan ditulis saat masih mengawal training, di hari terakhir)


***

Don't quit just because things are hard.


This is all doesn't really matter when you die, so keep going, don't take it to the heart. Process with logic not feelings.


Remember the darkness of death every time you feel like powerless.


Remember Him, and He is waiting for you this Dzuhr, or Ashr, and remember that you will run to Him, and tell Him everything about today. Cry to Him and Him only.


Remember how sinful you are, and the only way to forgive those sins is just by working really hard, deliver your best.


Never expect quit means easier way. Life won't get any easier, you have to get used to that, adjust, and adapt.

Di balik meja bundar beralaskan kain putih, dengan jam weker yang dijinjing kesana kemari karena jam tangan sudah mati. Akan ada selalu orang-orang yang menganggapmu tidak signifikan, yang hanya mau mendengarkan orang yang lebih tinggi darinya, dan itu bukan kamu. Tidak apa-apa.

Something to Look Forward to

 My life was is great.  At least when I was in my early to mid twenties. Although, at the same time, I was experiencing the first and the biggest heart break of my life, because I broke up with my fiance. We were together for five years and a half, and in the middle of planning a wedding. I was devastated, but not too much. Because during those years, I always have something to look forward to.  I spent the first year of my career exploring Kalimantan and Sumatera. I visited over a hundred villages in remote area. Even those which are not covered by common transportation, and requires all kind of transportation: air, ground, and water.  Life was a constant planning of one field visit to another, or one event after another. I am planning my day to day basis to those goals only.  “Oh I have field visit to North Kalimantan next week, so starting today, my life is heading to that week. I prepare my house to be left alone for a week or two because of that visit…” an...

Inside the Mind of a Woman

  Clean up! Clean up the house because it is home for me, and.. Clean up my body because it is home for someone, someday ;). Let’s prepare the homes, because coming home is indeed something to look forward to! *** Bogor, 07 October 2023. 23:13 I finally clean up the corner of my house and it feels sooooo good to see that side of the floor again. I am not a tidy nor organise person, so minimalism helps preventing the mess. I don’t need this many stuff to survive, and neither do you. Declutter now, feel better later 😉

144 Hours without Instagram

  For the very first time in my life, I uninstalled instagram. The apps that have been coloring my days since eleven years ago, is now gone. Not completely, but still gone. I thought I can only stand 3 days without it, but here I managed to survive for 6 good days. But I just cried. This evening, after coming back from the mall. Meeting the Finance Director of my ex company, hearing all her thoughts about the drama that I know so well.. I didn’t do anything with her, I was just sit, listen, and understand. But eventually, that is all she needs. We part ways, I went straight home — make one stop to buy my favorite favorite fruit — and continue home. No picture, no posts, nothing. Oh yeah, I cried once I entered the house. Because it feels so.. empty. The house, the same house I have lived for nearly 6 years now.. feels emptier than ever.  Do I miss instagram? — NO Do I miss posting my stories? — NO. But I miss someone I used to talk to in instagram. I miss his laugh and his wei...
