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 affected seemed to really enjoy their work and received a sudden notification that they were being laid off. Or you could also say "left when you're in love". There is a feeling of "a friend of the same fate" when I read the posts of friends affected by this layoff. Even though there are very clear differences why we are all not working anymore.

One tip that I've been using whenever I'm feeling down: look for other people or events whose fate is as bad or even worse than mine. So that there is material for me to still feel grateful for whatever is happening with my life right now. I know this sounds really mean but this hack worked for me. When I was at a low point I always thought of other people whose fate was even worse than mine, and instantly my mind would turn all negative thoughts and make them things to be grateful for.

Hopefully, anyone affected by this layoff can be given the sincerity to give up their job. And may all of us who are in the process of looking for a new job soon find a healthy replacement workplace and not add another episode in life's new drama.

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...
