2019

Wow, it truly has been forever since I have posted anything on this blog lol
I don't even know if I would start posting regularly again, just think that it would be nice to finally vomit all these words/thoughts that keep poppin’ out in my head. Where should I put and share my long ass thought unless here, in my own personal, dusted blog? So here we go!

---

2018 has been a wild ride. If I could summarize what's 2018 is, it would be 'challenge'.
Why 'challenge'?

To start of the year, me and my family finally put our roots in Jakarta, a whole 'nother city from my lovely hometown, Bandung. While, it's not really a foreign place since most of my mom's relatives are living here (heck, she's an immigrant in Bandung and originally from Jakarta lol) also my sister's husband's work is here. The only one who has no strings to this city is me.

If it ain't clear enough for you, here, let me kindly write it down on bullet points:
  • My whole life, born and raised, I have always been in Bandung;
  • Everything I do/I know revolves around the city, to the point that unless I have not made acquaintance with the internet, I wouldn't even know how to communicate with others from outside of the city;
  • I have no friends from Jakarta, or at least friends that I would likely hang out with;
  • I have no job. I was just graduated in the summer of 2017, resigned from my part time job around September and being led astrayed by this small company where I stupidly put a lot of my hopes and times for, or in another words I have nothing to do for quite some time;
  • I used my bike to do my things, and unfortunately, my bike wouldn't be available for me to access in Jakarta. Have I mentioned that Jakarta is, scary big? Like, Bandung only have angkot as it main public transport mode and I WOULD HAVE TO USE BUS AND TRAIN, WHICH I HAVE NEVER BOARDED ON BY MY SELF AS MY MAIN MEANS TO GO PLACES? I was freaking out back then about this lol'
  • Last but not least since I'm running out of ideas, moving in general is just scary, you feel me?
Thus, moving to another city is a challenge that I have never encountered in my life; to move from my comfort zone to a strange land (lol) where I basically start from zero and only have myself to rely on.  

The next challenge was to found work here. It truly was a hardship. No matter what kind of positions I have applied to, which I believe I have what it takes, fulfilled the requirements etc etc I still failed to acquire one freaking job. I am a 24 years old guy, with a bachelor degree, a high GPA, tons of experience and confidence in how I present myself, managed to failed all the application/test/interview that I have been attending to. I would lie if I say it did not bruised my ego, and lower my self-esteem.

There goes my daily routine for about half a year, me getting used to how Jakarta works and seeking job here and there.

And then, some miracle happened. 

I challenged my self to tried out to submit an application to be a flight attendant in an Indonesian flag carrier operator. Even though I was not confident at all and felt.... lacking, when compared to others. Amazingly, I kept on passing all the processes. At the same time, I was accepted as a (freelance, mind you) trainer in a start up company, specializing in Design Sprint training. AND funny enough, my first ever hooray of the job is to trained an airport company's employee in Soekarno-Hatta. 

I always believe that everything happened for a reason. A reason unknown to us, but happened for the better. And, no joke, at that time I was like, "Lord, is this a sign?" lol

Several months later, I received what I marked as a turning point e-mail. In which said I was aCCEPTED AS AN INITIAL FOR THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT TRAINING. I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I am going to be a cabin crew. To work in the aviation industry. I feel truly blessed! The bruised self-esteem that I got a couple months back, slowly, but surely, healed bit by bit.

The training process is hard and done rapidly in such a short period of time. It hasn't even finished yet. Somehow, I managed to do my best, and throw both my body and mind to it. I bypassed whatever fear I felt and doubt that creeping in with one goal: to get employed

Whenever someone asked me how did I managed to hold it together, I always said the truth: I do it for my mom, I do it for my dad, I do it for my family. It's time for me to finally give them back what they deserved, after all the years of endless support they gave me.

I honestly lost my train of thought on what I initially want this post to be lol, but the last thing that I feel challenging in this year is: to introspect. I haven't been the best kid, I haven't been the best friend, I haven't been the best person to my self. And one thing that I finally able to apply in this year, in which I already realized in the year before, is that I finally can be at peace with my self.

I heard a saying somewhere that you can't truly move on your life if you have not forgive, accept and acknowledge your weaknesses. I am not saying I do it right, but I finally recognized my flaws and try to better it. Self-care is also a thing that I realized the importance of this year. I mean, now I can say no freely! I used to feel guilty and got guilt-tripped to say yes even when I do not want to lol. What a character development.

---

2018 has comes to an end, and 2019 is just right around the corner.

It's truly been a mind-boggling year, one where I can't predicted, and one filled with wonders.

Year after year, I always made up some kind of resolution, just because everybody do it, and 'why the hell am I not?' mentality, to be forgottent the very next day.

Now, I don't have any particular, explicit resolution to write down except pass the flight training test and offered a contract lol but mark my word on this: 2019 will be my year.

HELLO EVERYONE

It's about 1 am here and i can't sleep. Well, to be honest, my sleep-schedule is fucked up so I couldn't sleep until 2-3 am usually. So, while I''m waiting to be sleepy, I do some research about "10th March Pisces". Don't ask me why because I basically didn't even understand why. Then I caught myself already opened several tabs reading perfectly accurate articles about 10th March-born beside the fact that I'm not fanatic about health and fitness (how could you be fanatic about health while you can't even sleep on time, huh?). And then I found this:

2013 will be a Number One year for you. Ruled by the Sun. This is a year of action. The seeds you plant now, you will reap later. Others might find you less sociable, as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs. Still, you are outgoing and your initiative is stronger than ever. Advice - Stand alone, take action, start fresh, express independence.

"This is a year of action", indeed, this year gonna be my battlefield; facing the most-final exams, prepare for entry the college are my biggest project this year. "as you are busier than ever and you focus on your activities and your needs", I don't know how the writer could describe these things 100% accurate. I mean, these months feels like I've been an introvert lol.

Maybe this kind of thing seems stupid, but I will put it in my mind, remind this as a motivator to myself. 2013 going to be a huge year for me, you, everyone else, depend on your situation. I'm going to prove a lot of things. Just watch and wait.

GENKI SUDO PRESENT: WORLD ORDER

WORLD ORDER latest PV/single "PERMANENT REVOLUTION"

Somewhere on October I saw this arama article about WORLD ORDER new PV and I was just like got nothing to do and open the article and bLOWN AWAY BECAUSE OF AN EPICNESS FLAWLESSNESS WHATEVERNESS. My life has been slayed just then.

You know, that time I was so obsessed with Spending all my time dance (lol lie, the truth is I'm STILL obsessed. I am successfully memorize the NOCCHi and Aa-CHAN's part y'all!!!!!!) so I'm more into dance group. When I saw WORLD ORDER, all I could think is what the heck is SPEED? I mean, that Indonesian dance unit who copy WORLD ORDER IN THe SAME WAY! I mean.... they copying it 100%! Okay, I don't really feels to bashing them so...

I AM STANNING FOR ThEM NOW!

Sure, their music is really really hard to find (illegally), even their latest single, FIND THE LIGHT/PERMANENT REVOLUTION is really REALLY hard to find (illegally, I'm considering to buy the physicall thing though), but you can find them on their management YouTube channel.

And, how could you believe that Genki Sudo (the man that almost everytime is in the center position) was used to be a boxer? I mean... what? I also read somewhere that he is an actor, writer, and something like humanitarian or whatever I don't know the english word? And he's only 32, damn, i want to be like him.

i recommend you MIND fucking SHIFT and MACHINE CIVILIZATION. But, duh, of course, watch all of their PVs and performances!!!!

Oh, and don't bother with the illuminati stuff. They're the real shit though, just look at their name it's a damn the new WORLD ORDER.

AGNES MONICA RELEASE NEW SINGLE, SNATCHED YOUR INDONESIAN FAVE'S WIGS

Indonesia Queen of Pop Agnes Monica has releases her new single Muda (Le O Le O) which is a tie-up with SIMPATI, Indonesia GSM provider (lol I don't know what it's called in english lmao switch using bahasa lol). Muda (Le O Le O) ekslusif untuk pengguna SIMPATI, jadi, cuma kamu yang pakai kartu ini yang bisa download secara gratis!

Speak about the song, M (LOLO) *lol* sendiri berirama up-beat dengan beat drum yang berat, bernuansa militer, seperti yang bakal kamu denger di lagu buatan Diplo/Run The World nya Beyonce, tapi ga dominan. Terlihat sekali kalau lagu ini sangat Agnes, lirik yang bersemangat tentang kepemudaan sealur dengan mottonya 'Dream, Believe and Make It Happen'. Yang menarik, Agnes tetap memasukkan element musik tradisional di awal-awal menit lagu ini. Which is good! Not to mention how catchy the song itself, damn, Agnes you've improved so much!

Paralyzed could NEVER.

Buat kalian yang bertanya-tanya apa itu (Le O Le O), jangan tanya Saya.. Saya juga gatau.

Engga juga sih, sebenernya (Le O Le O) itu lirik yang Agnes nyanyiin, semacam yaaa seperti lagu-lagu dance-pop jaman sekarang yang ada (OuuuOuuOOOOO) nya gitu, ngerti ga? Dan buat yang nge-judge lagu ini berdasarkan judulnya..... judul ga mencerminkan lagu ini. Muda (Le O Le O) sudah jauh lebih superior dibandingkan dengan lagu-lagu di pasaran Indonesia pada umumnya dengan lirik yang empowering dan beat yang catchy dijamin bakal stuck di otak kamu selama beberapa waktu. Walaupun lagu ini Saya rasa belum terlalu kuat untuk pasar internasional.

Muda (Le O Le O), bisa jadi sebagai tanda era baru Agnes Monica di Indonesia, ataupun ancang-ancang Agnes untuk dunia internasional, atau mungkin memang single promosi untuk suatu perusahaan. Apapun itu, Agnes Monica sudah membuktikan kita bahwa sejak Sacredly Agnezious, Agnes bisa disejajarkan (atau diakui) sebagai salah satu pembuat lagu yang mumpuni. Dengan adanya single ini dan performancenya yang semakin kelas wahid, Saya ga sabar buat lihat ke arah mana Agnes akan berlari :)

RMRPS

Nb: Buat yang pake SIMPATI silahkan download di *999#, buat yang bukan tapi ingin denger nih buat kamu, jangan di RIP ya, support Agnes, support musisi Indonesia :)

REMEMBER YOU ARE ALL LUCKY ENOUGH

PECEL LELE (Renungan, untuk bersyukur)

Just as a reminder...
Cerita ini diforward dari Pak Ismail A Said (Wartawan Senior
Republika) :
Karena hujan yg tdk kunjung berhenti, akhirnya saya memutuskan
menerobos hujan karena hari sdh malam...
sampai di Tegalega, perut sdh tdk bisa diajak kompromi lagi, akhirnya
saya memutuskan mampir diwarung nasi tenda dipinggir jalan,
lagi asyik menikmati pecel lele, masuklah seorang bapak, dg istri & 2 anaknya..
Yg menarik adalah kendaraan mereka yaitu gerobak dorong..
Lalu bapak ini memesan 2 piring nasi & ayam goreng...
Pertamanya sih ga ada yg menarik, tetapi ketika saya selesai makan,
ada yg menarik hati saya...

Ternyata, yg menikmati makanan itu hanya istri & anaknya.
Sedangkan sang bapak hanya melihat istri & anaknya menikmati makanan itu.

Sesekali. saya melihat. anaknya tertawa senang & sangat menikmati ayam
goreng yg dipesan oleh bapaknya..
Saya perhatikan, wajah sang bapak, walau tampak kelelahan terlihat
senyum bahagia diwajahnya..

Lalu saya mendengar dia berkata pelan.." mkn yg kenyang ya nak,
kan...hari ini tanggal kelahiranmu...
"Saya terharu mendengarnya..
seorang bapak dgn segala  keterbatasannya, sbg (mungkin) pemulung..
memberi ayam goreng warung tenda dipinggir jln utk hadiah ulang tahun
anaknya..

Hampir menangis rasanya saya diwarung itu..
Segera sebelum air mata ini tumpah, saya berdiri & membayar makanan
saya & juga dgn pelan saya bilang kepenjaga warung..
"mas, tagihan bapak itu saya yg bayar.. & tolong tambahin ayam goreng
& tahu tempe"........
Lalu lekas2 saya pergi.
kisah ini saya tulis utk bahan perenungan..
Bahwa Allah sdh memberikan yg terbaik utk saya saat ini...,
kita sering & biasa makan di Sushi-Tei, Kentucky, Mc Donald, Hoka Hoka
Bento, Pizza Hut dsb...
Padahal bagi orang disekitar kita, pecel lele pinggir jalan, adalah
makanan mewah.........

Sungguh tak pantas bagi kita klo kita mengeluh & merasa kurang....
Rasa Syukur akan mengantarkan rasa bahagia......
