Anyone? Nobody?

Back in the 8th grade, my English teacher used to give us daily task. One of the task is the listening section where she'll gave a form of paper contains with lyrics from random song and with some blank space on it. We have listen to the song and fill the blank part of the song. I vividly remember that this was one of my favorite subject and I still keep the bundle of paper from back then. Well, one of the song that my teacher gave us to solve is from Karen Young - Nobody's Child. Back then, I have no clue about the meaning of this song and just humming as the song played. Now after knowing the meaning of the song (which quiet sorrow), I'm kinda feel sorry for the old me who used to singing this song happily and with no concern at al. At the age of growing up, I began to face many problems in life: starting from the difficulty of finding a job, the difficulty of adjusting to new things but what must be done to survive, rearranging the hearts and minds that have been heavily...

Movie Review - Avatar: The Way of Water

At the end of 2022 I won a free ticket from XXI Premier Plaza Senayan to watch the film Avatar: The Way of Water. After a long wait (13 years), this film is able to cure the longing of Avatar (2009) film lovers. The overall visual shown is very "blue", the choice of background music is very appropriate, and there will be several new characters appearing in this second film. Due to the move of the Sulley family from the Omaticaya Clan to Metkayina (a coral reef island whose clan and lifestyle is adapted to Pandora's aquatic habitat), the audience will be presented with a lot of ocean views from the Metkayina Clan. Still with a similar storyline, Jake Sulley and Neytiri try to protect their family from the attack by the RDA group. In this film, the Sulley family fights together with the Metkayina Clan. There are many significant differences that are felt in this film: from the transition from the forest to the sea to the changes in the animals that are driven from Toruk to ...

Welcome 2023

Welcome to 2023! The first day of 2023, I decided to write part of my story which I may have also alluded to in previous posts. At the end of 2022 since I decided to live alone in a new city, there have been many new experiences, both bad experiences and pleasant experiences during the last 3 months of 2022. In the previous post it may have been described that I had mostly bad experiences. But apparently I forgot to be grateful for the pleasant experiences that also happened in my life. Was given the opportunity to work in the city I wanted, my sister's wedding, decent first salary, visiting new places, taking various kinds of public transportation, news of my sister's pregnancy, resigning from work, visiting relatives in another city, visiting siblings in the same city, witnessing world cup 2022 with strangers, coming home late at night (not for visiting indecent places) to attend New Year's events near where I live. The thing that always makes me sad while living alone is...

Hot Chamomile Tea

  Tuesday, December 6th, 2022 Starting the day with productive activities in the morning: laundry!. Accompanied by the rain and thunder that pour in the Coconut Ivory (intentionally translate the name lol) area, this morning's laundry activities were the same as usual. After 3 months of being abroad, laundry is one of the activities that I look forward to the most. Because it helps distract my mind off stressful things. Very pleasant. After I finished laundry and the rain also stop, I did another productive activity: looking for candidates for boarding houses. Why? As a newly unemployed person, I need to reduce expenses and consider looking for a cheaper boarding house. I call it one of the tips for survival hahaha. After visiting the 3 candidates, it turns out that all the rooms are on the 4th floor lol. There is a price for quality: the room is on the top floor (quite far and steep) , quite small in size, and a little dirty. After much consideration, I finally decided not to move...

love don't cost a thing, but life does

  Entering the 3rd month after deciding to migrate to a foreign city, I spend a lot of time thinking about life. Life before and after deciding to migrate, life when living with family and when living alone, life when being borne by others and when borne for oneself. And after deciding to stop working for a very short time, I realized one fact about life that I'm aware of: it turns out that it takes quite a big financial sacrifice to be able to get my own personal space. Boarding bills, telephone bills, meal costs, transportation costs, and entertainment costs. I was forced to think and be critical in order to survive alone away from my family. I have to be able to find and manage my finances, which are not many in number, have to resist lust, refrain from being greedy with the money I have now and have to be able to think for the worst things that might happen in the future. I don't know how long it will take until I get my next job, and how long my current savings can help me...

Alone in The Crowd

  As can be seen from the photos in this article, right now I feel the same way: alone in a crowd. The layoff phenomenon that is currently happening in several start-up companies makes me think a lot. When many people experience layoffs from start-up companies, I instead decided to resign from my current job. Many people regretted my decision which was practically very sudden. I have only been working for 2 months, then I decided not to continue my work and submitted a resignation. There were many reasons that prompted me to take this bold decision. But this is not what I want to discuss in this article. How can I not disappoint the people around me, I decide to take up a job offer away from home, wander alone in a city of people without a family to accompany me. It's only been a while but I just gave up. But never mind, this has happened and I can't (and don't want to) change that decision. When I read articles or content about the current layoff, my heart feels sad. Those...

bewildered

On this very sunny day, a woman who is still not finished with her problem is again faced with a new problem. A problem that will likely have a domino effect down the line (but he doesn't care). Still in the process of finding and solving current problems, the woman experienced many obstacles and sought solutions by asking various sources. Not finding a solution to the question she asked, this woman decided to take a breath and then exhale while saying: "I don't care, whatever happens will happen." Having just resigned herself to the problem at hand, this woman was again given a task that was actually not difficult to complete, but there was a binding mechanism so that the easy task changed to a level that was difficult to do. Not finished one problem, then added another burden. In the end, none of the task clearance targets were completed today.   And finally this woman saw the time it was already 4 pm and it was time to take a break from work problems. The end
