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.

Product review: Matchamu varian Matcha Latte

Sejak tahun 2012, w udah jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama dengan greentea. Sebagai penggemar dari minuman greentea (khususnya matcha), w termasuk penikmat yang lumayan pilih-pilih untuk rasa dari minuman matcha. Baik itu fresh matcha dari kedai minuman, maupun matcha instan. Minuman greentea pertama yang w icip adalah dari brand j.co: greentea frappe! Dengan rasa yang sedikit lebih pahit dari pada minuman matcha pada umumnya, greentea frappe ini sukses meracuni lidah sw. Seiring waktu berlalu, banyak tempat minum yang mulai menawarkan menu matcha. Tapi susah banget buat nemuin racikan matcha dengan dominan rasa pahit seperti greentea frappe-nya J.co . Lalu tahun lalu, I found it! Matcha latte dari Kedai minuman Point Coffe (Indomaret). With 90% similarity in taste, matcha latte dari Point Coffe ini gak kalah enak dari yang sebelumnya. Dan dengan harga yang lebih murah, kualitas minumannya pun gak abal-abal. W so happy ketemu matcha yang enak dan murah tapi gak murahan ini. Sampai sek...

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...
