love don't cost a thing, but life does

Entering the 3rd month after deciding to migrate to a foreign city, I spend a lot of time thinking about life. Life before and after deciding to migrate, life when living with family and when living alone, life when being borne by others and when borne for oneself.

And after deciding to stop working for a very short time, I realized one fact about life that I'm aware of: it turns out that it takes quite a big financial sacrifice to be able to get my own personal space. Boarding bills, telephone bills, meal costs, transportation costs, and entertainment costs.

I was forced to think and be critical in order to survive alone away from my family. I have to be able to find and manage my finances, which are not many in number, have to resist lust, refrain from being greedy with the money I have now and have to be able to think for the worst things that might happen in the future.

I don't know how long it will take until I get my next job, and how long my current savings can help me overseas. Hopefully I can get a replacement job soon so I can continue the story of my struggles to wander in this foreign city.

May we all always be given grace and health to be able to survive in life.

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...
