Gina's Deep Thoughts About Life: Help From The Almighty

Have you ever thought that your presence is help from God for the success of others?
Well, I have.

One day, when I was participating in a race, participants were required to take a test to measure their swimming skills. I feel relieved because I have no difficulty in swimming and other swimming techniques like floating and diving. Among all participants, I saw the look on the faces of some participants who panicked because they could not swim. Because it was not my turn for the test, I decided to help participants who had difficulty swimming. I taught them how to float, dive and even swim. After several trials, they were finally able to pass the swimming test even though the results were not very satisfying (and my swimming test results are better than them). At the end of the race stage, the participants I helped during the swim test were selected as winners and they got prizes. 

Am I angry? 
Of course I am. 

I feel angry, disappointed, distrustful, and even felt betrayed by the final results of the competition. I feel like a fool who gives free opportunities to others. I blame others and accuse them of taking my fortune. 

When can I forgive others who (I accuse) seized my fortune? 
When I was about going home, the participants I taught swam come over to me and thanked me for teaching them. Even though only one who won the race, people were grateful for me very much. This makes me feel like a useful human being who able to help others achieve their success. And that's when the feeling of anger that had enveloped my heart and my mind instantly disappears.
The funny thing is, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. And I always respond it the same way: angry and blame others for the failure I received, then I reflect on the incident, then try to think positively accept the reality and not hold grudges to others.
By letting go of negative feelings I felt the burden I had been slightly reduced. I felt revenge would only make my life ruined. By becoming a hater, I will become a person I hate myself. Therefore, until now I am still learning to be a better and more useful person to the people around me.

ps: without offending anyone, this writing I made to reflect the development of my attitude in dealing with problems

Product Review: Tong Tji Tematik varian Matcha Latte

Masih dalam rangka mengganti kopi jadi greentea, pencarian matcha instan masih terus dilakukan agar terbentuknya list greentea/matcha favorit based on my opinion. *cailah* Next product that I'll review is Tong Tji Tematik varian Matcha Latte. Siapa sih yang gak tau Tong Tji. Salah satu merk teh terkenal yang namanya sudah tidak asing lagi ini sekarang mengeluarkan produk minuman latte instan dengan berbagai varian dan salah satunya adalah varian matcha latte.  Sesuai dengan slogannya (Berasa ngafe!), rasa matcha latte dari Tematik ini sangat mirip dengan rasa matcha latte di cafe atau kedai minum lainnya. Dengan kandungan ekstrak teh hijau sebanyak 3.24%, rasa dari matcha latte ini cenderung manis dan terasa banget krimernya. But this one won't be on my list. Udah coba w sajikan hangat, dingin, dan di tambah espresso, but it still same. It didn't suit my taste. Karena rasa manisnya yang dominan, rasa matcha-nya jadi kurang terasa disini. And that's not kind of matcha th...

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...

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...
