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...

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...
