And I Let It Go

 Have you ever dreamed so high that you thought it was impossible?

Well, I have.

Since in college life, I dreamed of being able to live a perfect life like everyone else: graduating from college, working in a good company in the capital, surrounded by fun friends, and of course a balanced life and work.

In September I finally got the chance. Received in one of the organizations located in the capital. Cool isn't it? Go abroad with high expectations, high income and a lifestyle like a career woman.

Not even a month into being an overseas child in the city of people, I have received a reprimand from God due to excessive pleasure. This made me think: am I going to die alone in this room? away from family?

It was one of those times that traumatized me quite a bit. Sick of being unable to move for several days, alone, not daring to tell my family about my condition. Until finally I decided to admit my situation to paps and uda.

Drama every day thinking about the condition of the body that is not fit, coupled with a workload that is quite draining physically and mentally, crying every day becomes a routine that is usually done.

They said I'm homesick, it just takes a while to adjust to finally being comfortable in the new environment. And it didn't happen. My condition got worse with the release of further examination results from the doctor. The burden on my mind increased from "feeling sick", to "knowing what the pain are".

A lot of talking with the closest people, they keep saying that it's just homesickness and I'll be fine. I tried to survive the next month, and for the sake of my health I decided to return to my safe zone, home.

The advice "don't stop until you get a replacement" doesn't apply anymore when I feel uncomfortable and unwell here. And it turns out that the statement "money can't buy happiness" is true. What's the use of a lot of money if you're always sad?

I used to always feel that money can buy happiness because you can buy whatever you want with money, expensive perfume, expensive shoes, to the freedom to go anywhere. But it didn't happen to me.

I know the decisions I make will disappoint many others. But I also have to think about myself, not add to the list of traumas in my life.

Finally, I hope that we are all given health and the opportunity to be able to live a decent life without any lack of anything.

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...
