25

Should've written this on my birthday, September 5th but never mind, more than a month doesn't reduce or increase my age, does it?

25 years may not be a big number for some people (who are older than me, ofc). But for an adult at my age, it's been a pretty diverse and twisty quarter of life so far.

How come. Right when I was about 25 years old, I got a lot of things happening in me: earning enough income for me to be able to save and feel quite financially secure, being able to buy my own laptop, getting a job opportunity (although not my dream job), I lost my aunt suddenly which forced me to attend all funeral arrangement and saw my grandmother, mother and aunt cry bitterly for it, even the welcoming ceremony (aqeekah) for my birth also took place when I was 25 years old (I didn't expect it to take so long).

There are too many things that make me feel more traumatized. Sometimes when I can't control my emotions, all these events make me feel angry and curse to God: why can't I forget and move on with my life without having to be overshadowed by that trauma?
But who doesn't feel the same way? everyone must be traumatized by something and everyone has to grow up to face that reality.

To my mom, dad, uda, uni, who always support and never stop helping me. Who is always there when I need, always guides me so I don't get lost, so I always feel at home. Since the first day I live in this world. If there is a word that means more than thank you, I will give it to you.

In addition, I am also very grateful to have met good people who opened the door to my sustenance so that now I can save and feel a little secure in finances. Those who gave me the opportunity, are the people that I will never forget, those who made me able to save from zero to this day, those who gave me a home when I was lost without direction. Thank you and I am very grateful for your presence.

Finally, thanks to Allah, even though I am not an obedient servant, You are always by my side.

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...

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...

December, 2020

It's finally December, the end of 2020! Many things are happened in my life during 2020: being a freelancer in a new field, corona (all plans that are canceled because of it, spending time with family in isolation, living a new normal life), learning new skills (copywriting and digital marketing), meeting friends I haven't seen in a long time,  getting new friends, falling in love and being heartbroken, rejection from various opportunities, trying to get closer to god and being grateful, etc.  I've had a lot of lessons this year, especially life lessons. Not all of our wishes can be realized directly, or not even realized at all. Always enjoy the process, and don't forget to be grateful and keep thinking positively especially when the storm comes your way. The emotional turmoil that caused my blood, sweat and tears to come out made me realize that I'm just an ordinary human being who can't always be strong and tough when a lot of distractions are given to me ( e...
