WHAT KIND OF LIFE AM I LIVING?

Sometimes, there will be a day where I just wanna lay down and doing nothing, like I'm so bored and uninspired. I don't know what kind of life I want to live. Everyday always feel the same. The same routine, the same people, the same conversations, the same job, the same environment. Nothing really excites me, no one really excites me. 

I don't know if I'm still stuck at quarter life crisis kinda excuse or not. Is it even really existed? 

My unconscious state always reeling with the words of "why", "what if". Is it just me who just wait and not doing anything? Is it just me just waiting for a miracle while I lay on my bed and daydreaming? Is it just me that is way too comfortable inside my own bubble? What is out there? What is it outside my world that is just meant for me? How could I achieve it? How could I pick them up?

I hope, we all could find the purpose, or at least make it.

HIKING KE CISADON DAN REFLEKSI DIRI

I would call it a great day for a hike. Issa cloudy from 3.45 am. Along the way with my 4 friends, I thanked God for the day. Though I pretty much having anxiety for my health due to the pandemic, but well, I took my faith, if it's not by the grace of God, we wouldn't be cramped together here.

It's around 6 am we're arrived at the first post. The location is behind the grandous Sentul City, and our destination was about 7kms up. And with no expectations, there are cars and people who set the exactly same date with our date to do the hike. Umm...... Okay. There won't be any single conversation with them, I told myself, PLUS they are all strangers, yup it's a plus. So after some preparation, we set off! My friend, Joanika will be the guide!

To be really honest, it is my VERY FIRST doing this 'professional' hiking thing with little professional equipment. I only took my running shoes which later such a bad decision, my waist bag, and pocari sweat. Yup, not fancy at all. hahaha. I also expect it would be a beginner trails y'all, and turned out IT WASN'T. OKay. With my very very very bad exercise habit, it is such a reckless decision I've made. BUT ALSO THE BEST DECISION I'VE TAKE! I would say, a blessing in disguise.

As you guys can see, it wasn't any bit of a beginner trails, huh? I discovered it is also for the Motor Trails and Jeeps or Off Road Experiences. So, the trek was damn bad for an entry level for us 4. But, I couldn't be such a fuss and cried my eyeballs out for us to go back! I don't wanna be a loser! I have to do this, and I kinda enjoyed myself that day. To have all my thoughts work on itself. I also keep mouthing how thankful I am for God already sent this weather for us. No Sun peeking, and windy breeze all day long, a very good friends, good mood, nice scenery along the road, BEST AIR to inhale deeply as many as possible.

there is this camp ground who provided hot drinks & breakfast (FOR FREE) in the morning

I learned about so many things during my way up and my way down. But before I talked about how painful my way down, let's checklist some of the lesson i've learned during the trip: (it may be such a cliche things I'll write down here, but I know now the meaning behind all those words)

1. The first thing was NO MATTER HOW HARD YOUR PATHS, KEEP DOING THE BEST YOU CAN DO

2. There will always be miracles, and something you will grateful for, along the rockiest roads. Shift your sight, when you are feeling down, there will always rainbows in every corners.

3. YOUR TIME, IS NOT EVERYONE'S TIME. Take your own pace. Everyone's timing is different. Yet, everyone's blessings are different. There will be someone who will passes you, there will be someone who stays with you, there will be someone who is behind you. But whatever slow or fast, you know, you will get to your goals, little by little.

4. TAKE REST but NEVER STOP.

5. The fog may falls, and your sight will be short, but with carefulness, you know where to steps.

6. Be so much grateful with everyones who stays with you, through ups and downs, through your sorrows and your joys. And those who are waiting for you patiently at the finish line, so they could celebrate it together.

I truly am thankful for my friend, Adeline, for she was at the same pace as me. Hahahaha! I was so slow like a sloth! The most least person, uphills and downhills. So was she that day. Though Adeline going faster than me, but I could always saw her back, and keep telling myself I am not alone in this foggy muddy roads. Also, she doing her own business, and so am I. I only need the companionship, I only need to assure myself I didn't walk alone. It is so much okay for me, if there is no any conversations nor interactions at all.

The greatest part was the way down. Heavy rain poured like about two hours when we're arrived at the Cisadon Village. We took a rest and lunch there, before we started to hike down. Of course the road are much more muddy and slippery, we must took a really careful step. There are more and more people hiked up, also the motorbikes and the off road cars. They worsen the muddy trails. There are Jeeps and Motorbikes who can't climbed up because of the trails condition. I couldn't bring my phone up as I keep looking at my own steps, it is really really scary, plus my legs are all screaming dead >.< Our shoes covered up in muds and soils, making it as slippery as they wanted to be. But, we all made it to the finish line, again! Praise God! How I wish I could photographed how scary the way home trails for you guys, but it is not a wise time to do it. It really is not a beginner track with less professional equipment and experiences.

I couldn't straight my legs up as they are all crying in pain.

before everyone's drained ;P

Thank you for staying with me, until the end!

XOXO,

Janice

PENGALAMAN INSTAGRAM DETOX

ilustrasi foto oleh : Ignite Treatment Centers

Hello, Friends!

Yaampun, ini adalah post yang tertunda hampir sebulan deh. Ingat, waktu itu, aku janji mau

update tentang social media detox yang aku jalani selama bulan Oktober. Oke, tanpa panjang-panjang

pembukaannya, mari kita lihat apa yang di dapat!

1. FOKUS PADA PEKERJAAN

Ya, jadi selama tidak membuka Instagram pribadi, aku jadi lebih fokus pada pekerjaanku.

Setiap kali bosan, jadi tidak scroll-scroll atau liatin ig story orang lain. Pekerjaanku ya memang

tetap membutuhkan social media, karena lapangan pekerjaanku social media content, jadi aku

masih memegang Instagram kantor. Tetapi sebatas untuk upload harian saja.

2. KEINGINAN BERBELANJA LEBIH BERKURANG

Kalian tahu kan, bahwa di Instagram story banyak sekali iklan iklan barang-barang? Nah, itu kadang

membuat saya ingin sekali berbelanja. Atau, karena saya mengikuti akun-akun jual beli, jadi rasanya

kepengen berbelanja. Ketika detox, keinginan sangat jauh berkurang, karena jadi tidak bisa lihat-

lihat barang-barang tersebut lagi. hehehe. 

3. TIDUR LEBIH CEPAT

Nah, siapa yang paling senang sebelum tidur scroll-scroll dan kepo mengenai kehidupan orang lain?

Saya juga termasuk! Terutama para selebgram dan Artis ibukota. hahaha. Sejak detox, dan jika sudah

selesai pekerjaan di rumah, jadi gak tau harus ngapain, jadi lebih cepat untuk santai2 di atas tempat

tidur, sambil berkhayal, dan lama lama jadi tidur.

4. KAMU TIDAK PERLU MENGETAHUI SEMUA YANG TERJADI DI DUNIA

Kadang-kadang hal ini membuat kita overwhelmed atau "kepenuhan informasi". Apalagi informasi-

informasi yang bikin panas hati dan pikiran, atau yang membuat hati sesak. Ternyata itu asyik, ketika

kita tidak mengetahui semua yang terjadi. Dan alangkah fokusnya, bila kita menjalani apa yang terjadi

di sekitar kita, secara nyata. Kamu tidak perlu bersusah hati, Bunda Theresa bilang "ketika kamu tidak

bisa mencukupi semua orang, cukupkanlah satu orang."

Untuk menjalani social media detox ini memang sangat diperlukan kesiapan hati, pikiran serta komitmen.

Apalagi saya hanya sign out dan tidak menghapus aplikasinya ataupun deactivate account . 

Sungguh-sungguh diperlukan tekad kuat untuk tidak kembali membuka/masuk ke akun itu lagi.

Karena menurut saya, Instagram adalah suatu hal yang paling sering dibuka dan menarik untuk 

dimainkan dibanding Twitter & Facebook. Tetapi saya senang, saya bisa melakukannya. 

Hal menarik lainnya adalah, saya juga jadi merasa "tidak apa-apa" untuk tidak mem-posting semua ke-

giatan saya di Instagram. Sekarang lagi ingin memberikan hal-hal menarik di Instagram story. Semoga

saya berhasil!

xoxo,

Janice

TENTANG PANDEMI 2020 & AKU

 

instagram.com/vinilowraw

Halo, semuanya! Apa kabar? Kuharap kita semua baik-baik saja. 

Di post ini, bukan mau menyebarkan aura positif sih, lebih mau ke curhat tentang bagaimana perasaanku menyikapi keadaan sekarang ini. So, buat kalian yang merasa down, please jangan baca dulu untuk sekarang, karena ya mungkin ini bisa membuat kalian lebih down lagi heheh. 

Jadi, aku tuh tipe orang yang suka overthinking. Either in a bad or a good way. Aku menikmati memikirkan hal-hal yang rumit, kadang-kadang suka tiba tiba terlintas dan mempertanyakan hal itu. Oke. Selain itu, aku gak suka sesuatu yang berantakan/gak tersusun/tersistem/terorganisir dengan baik. Padahal aku Pisces, yang katanya paling benci aturan. Justru aku suka sama aturan, jadi jelas mau kemana, mau ngapain, dan apa yang harus dilakukan gitu loh.

Terjadilah si pandemi ini, di seluruh dunia. Tak terkecuali Indonesia. Yang membuat semuanya jadi berantakan. Sampai ke hal hal kecil dalam hidup. Sekarang, kita gak bebas mau bertamu, mau memeluk, mau ngobrol, mau ngapa-ngapain, parno dan serba gak pasti. Mau ngadain acara ini, takut. Mau dateng ke acara sana, takut. Pokoknya serba bingungin dan bikin khawatir berlebih. Nah, ada hari-hari dimana rasanya aku cape banget, ngeliat berita terutama para pekerja medis/nakes yang kasihan dan para pembantu2nya seperti janitor di RS, petugas makam, ambulans, dkk. Terus cape rasanya melihat orang bersedih karena kematian orang terdekat. Kalian cape gak sih, tiap hari harus pergi keluar, beraktivitas dengan dipenuhi dengan kewaspadaan? Disinilah, semuanya dimulai, aku cape harus waspada, cape harus mikir siaga, cape harus khawatir terus setiap hari. Cape harus nahan-nahan ngobrol gak boleh sering, harus pakai masker, cape harus parno pakai hand sanitizer/cuci tangan terus. Rasa-rasanya semua dunia terbalik. Berubah kebiasaannya, ya itulah yang disebut NEW NORMAL. Beradaptasi dengan keadaan baru yang harus diterima. Masalahnya, serba mendadak! Gak dikasi waktu! Tapi bukannya, aku jadi gak mau waspada, dan nantangin si virus yah. Aku akan tetap waspada, dan mengikuti prokes serta tetap menjaga diri sendiri dan orang lain. Cuma cape aja :')

Teruslah aku berpikir-pikir tentang keadaan ini, dan mendapat sebuah analogi tentang kewaspadaan yang belum juga usai usai. seperti:

"MENAIKI SEBUAH TANGGA KAYU YANG REYOT"

 

dimana kamu setiap langkahnya harus berpikir apakah the next step saya aman? Apakah saya akan jatuh? Apakah tangga ini akan keropos? Apa yang harus saya lakukan jika ini jeblos? Apa saya akan selamat? 

Kurang lebih seperti itu lah keadaan anxiety dan perasaan ku selama ini. Iya, dia kadang muncul, kadang enggak. Seperti yang semua orang di dunia ini lakukan, aku cuma bisa berdoa, dan berharap sambil terus menjaga diri. Tidak ke kerumunan, tidak makan dine in, menggunakan masker dengan lapisan tisu lagi, supaya proteksi ganda, dan tidak ngobrol selama tidak benar-benar diperlukan di kantor. Karena aku adalah mereka, para pejuang ceching ceching (alias uang), yang harus punya tubuh extra kuat dan bandel menghadapi ini semua.

Teman-teman, kuharap kita semua tidak menantang virus ini, dan juga tidak lengah. Jangan sekali-kali kita semua merasa kita sehat dan kita bebas dari virus ini. Virus ini membenci siapapun yang menganggap mereka remeh, karena ya memang mereka itu kuat.

xoxo,
Janice

TERUNTUK DIA SI EMPUNYA DUNIA

Siapalah kami, Manusia, tidak sebesar debu dari mataNya yang singgah di langit yang tingkatnya tidak dapat lagi kami sebutkan.
siapalah kami, Manusia, sehingga Engkau memberikan rupa dan akal budi yang menyerupai Engkau? 

Makhluk yang ditugaskan untuk menguasai Bumi. 

Tapi akhirnya lupa diri.

Ya Tuhan, apa yang telah kami lakukan?

Kami tega menghinaMu dengan mengutuki diri sendiri.

Kami tidak bersyukur atas hidup yang diberikan dengan bunuh diri.

Kami tega membuang hidup yang begitu berharga dan dibuat dengan amat teliti.

Kami makan apa yang seharusnya tidak kami makan.

Kami membuang muka terhadapMu.

Kami menghempaskan pelukan yang Kau berikan.

Kami tidak ingat lagi siapa Engkau, di tengah hiruk pikuk dunia ini.

Kami membangkang ajaranMu dalam indahnya dunia gemerlap.

Kami lupa Tuhan melihat dalam takabur kekayaan kami.

Kami lupa asal diri kami dari debu dan tanah yang tidak berharga di dunia ini. yang disapu orang,

yang dialirkan hujan dan lenyap, yang ditiup angin, yang dibersihkan orang.

Kami terlarut dalam kesombongan atas perintah “Kuasailah Dunia ini dan seisinya.” 

Kami hilang kendali, membabi buta, tidak paham batasannya, tidak tahu apa artinya.

Kami mencuri. Kami mengambil apa yang bukan milik kami, tanpa mengembalikannya.

Kami tertawa di atas tangisMu

Kami tersenyum di atas pedihMu

Kami makan di atas lukaMu

Kami minum di atas lelahMu

Apakah Dia akhirnya lelah? Apakah Dia sudah cukup berurusan dengan kita?
Apakah Dia sudah muak? Apakah ini waktunya pembalasan? Apakah Dia justru takut
terhadap makhluk ciptaanNya sendiri yang digadai-gadai paling jenius di muka bumi? Kata seorang penulis.

Ya Tuhan, palingkanlah mukaMu sekali lagi terhadap kami.

Kami mohon ampun dan tersungkur di kakiMu.

Ya Tuhan berikanlah maaf dari mulutMu,

alirkanlah tangis dari mataMu. 

Lihatlah kami ya Tuhan. Kami hanya punya Engkau.

Ya Tuhan, ulurkanlah tanganMu, lukislah pelangiMu.

Ampuni kami, karena kami tidak tahu apa yang kami perbuat.

Ampuni kami, karena kami akan melakukanya lagi.

H O ---- M E

I used to wander the meaning behind 'HOME' in those every single damn sad quotes. 

Either it was a broken hearted one, nor blooming loves. 

I often thought, it was only as simple as I'm comfortable around them, but the more I dig deeper into it, 

it is beyond the word of 'comfortable'. 

Home is where you can rest. You find comfort. You find shelter from the raging world. 

Home is where you grow up. Learn bad things, good things and all in between. 

Home is where you taught to be someone. A place that helps you fight your fears, 

holds your tears, subside your anger, provide you a warm hugs on a windy day. 

Home is where you can express yourself to the fullest, either it's in a good or bad way.

Home witnessed your hard rides, hears your interesting stories yet sad songs you played a

thousand times in your showers. Home is your hiding place, your safest sanctuary, 

yet also your battlefield. It keeps safe your past, celebrate your present and excited for your

future. Home accepted for who you are, it is silence when everyone's being so loud, but it

doesn't always like this type of situation. It scolds you privately. 

Home offers warmth and joy. Home unite and reunite. 

Home is both the first and the last thing on your mind. It will always be your favourite 

hide out, no matter how wrecked, no matter how bad, no matter how small, how cheap, 

but home never leaves its place, it stays and patiently waits whenever you want to come

back. It welcomes you over & over again. It could be rusted, but you can always rebuild. 

It may broke in some part, but you can always fixed.

Home is where your heart is,

where all the magic always happens.

Janice

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE AN INTROVERT

Hello, there, guys! How are you? Good? I hope so J

Today I want to talk about me as an introvert. Introverts can be vary on personality. Not every introverts are having a same issue as me. So, I made this based on myself, because I don't want to generalized the others.

So many articles said that introvert is not someone who completely abandoned themselves from the society. Yes! It’s true. We can blend in, just not good as extrovert did. We take actions mostly based on our feelings. So, let’s take a look at my life as being one of them.

I do have small circle of good friends

And I pretty much grateful for that. Though, I don’t have one particular group chats for it, I like to send them random chats or just gossiping about life and stuff. I’m not casually chat them on a daily basis, just when it’s time to say hello to them. Well, yeah, a bit strange, but that’s exactly what I did. I’m also grateful for they are all a low maintenance peeps for they never lower our statuses from friends to acquantainces just like how SIMS did. Ugh!

I do cherish solitude moments

Where I don’t have to interact with people. I ever found myself retreating from a group of conversation and stay distant for a couple of minutes. And I don’t find it was a pity to myself. Or, I love love love going on cinemas by myself and eating alone, having an internal conversation. And yes, I find it was so peaceful, I didn’t feel so alone, because I talked to myself regularly. Not that I have an imaginary friends, and it’s good to talk to yourself. I usually motivate myself.

I love coming home to my ‘private place’

Which is my right hemisphere part of the brain. Oh how I nurture this part of me. When everything goes wrong (at least for me) I switch to be head in the clouds. I like creating visions, that I usually put it to words, for drawing is out of my league. That’s why I love reading  fantasy books, adoring fictional characters, because I’m aware that they’re all can’t hurt me like people always did.

I am not good at small talks

How I hate open up a conversations. I do hate it. But I’m the one who almost do it all the time! I want to know more about them. But that’s not appropriate for someone you just knew. And besides, I also don’t want to get attached at the same time. I don’t like opening up to people or listening to their voluntary stories. Hahaha. It’s a bit complicated, yes, I know. I really don’t know how to make the situation between two people who just met goes along naturally. Especially if they’re also a reserved one. Oh God, can I just gone with the wind right now?

I have two sides self that coming out when it comes to the intersection

It is so hard for me to choose between 2 best options. I am indecisive. My one self told me this. My other self told me that. And sometimes the result is not coming out very good, I often found myself guilty or sorry. For example, I need to choose between two type of foods. Which one will they like? They must be like this one, but I want to give them something they never tried yet. But, will they happy if I give them this? Yeah, that’s complicated. Because when it comes giving someone a present or a souvenir, I believe it needs to be something they love and something they will use it for a long time. I must choose it carefully.

I am not ambitious

That’s why some people see me as a ‘goes where the river flows’ person. I am so full of dreams, but I am too afraid to let my hands reach for the stars. I am too anxious for failure. I am afraid to step out from my bubbles. But when I need to, I will stay behind the line, calculate every possible threats and thinking on how to prevent all of them. When the calculations is well done right, I step out little by little and expect everything in a very careful way. That makes me a well planned one. I don't do sudden  trip. I need to planned everything. Some trivia, we are an observer. The best one in the fields.

I am so emotional

As time goes by, this melancholic part of me growing stronger. I don’t like it though. I could let out a tear just by seeing an animal videos! Or a simple act of love from a drama. I love pretty things. I love sweet simple love movies. I do review my life, or having an epiphany and store it to my journal.

But I do enjoy talking to my extroverts, and taking a lot of new experiences!

I like talking about everything. I like sharing thoughts. I like hearing lovely stories, humors, gossips too. I love being surrounded by people I grow fond with. I like taking new activities, going to new places, reading new books, met new friends. It will be too overwhelmed sometimes we need to pull up the sheets again, but we introverts do love people that have a big warm heart.

Well, I think it’s a bit too much isn’t it? Readers, here it is some of CUTE CARTOON (worth a click!!) to understand us even more. Are you an introvert too? Tell me how is it like from your point of view! Till we meet again!

xoxo,

Janice

DAILY SKINCARE ROUTINE REVIEW

Tuesday,
May, 8th 2018
10:27 pm

Hello, there. No I'm not changing my blog into some beauty blog. But, consider it as a daily JOURNAL of me. As I named this blog. Just adding some topics here, when I'm not going anywhere, and don't have anything to report to you guys. Is that okay? Please say yes :)

*Disclaimer : it all depends on one's skin. Not all of this product suits your skin well. It's just a review from me (oily combination skin) and this article may become your consideration choosing a skincare. Please do a thorough research as this article don't discuss any of the ingredients.

PEELING

1. The Ordinary

Well, this one is my only high end skincare ;) My friend introduced me to this and sold his preloved. Because my skin was so textured, he told me to try chemical peeling. I used HadaLabo AHA/BHA also. This one works pretty well, my big bumps turned into small bumps, and didn't make any major purging towards my oily combination skin. They said, you only need to apply once in the PM hour and DO NOT FORGET to apply sunscreen in the morning. Because peeling makes your skin pretty sensitive to the sun the day after you used.

2. Apple Cider Vinegar with 'The Mother' or Unfiltered

This one I used to treats small bumps, smaller my pores and brighten up your skin. You need to find an unfiltered one, yes the one that still has the lees (ampas) inside. People usually bought Bragg. 

** My skin looks better now, tho it has still small bumps and can't be the one with the porcelain skin. I don't know, someone said to me once that my ancestors did bring the genes. Well, okay. At least, my skin is now better than before with these two. 

 MOISTURIZER

1. Studio Tropik Original Priming Water

It's originally a priming before you do makeup. But, sometimes I do spray it on my face after bath ;D because it smell so good and relaxing. Yeah, it has rose water in its ingredients. I think I need  to try using this as a prime some day.

2. Unbranded Aloe Vera Extract

REALLY WORKS DAMN WELL ON MY SKIN. Okay, my skin is oily combination and it was dry before like really. Textured, and unhealthy. Then, my sis bought this and told me to use it every nite before bed. And now my skin feels soooooo sooooffft even it has small bumps. Oh God, this is my holy grail!

1. Innisfree Sun Cream SPF 50+

I also bought this out of nowhere, because my co-worker pressured me to buy SUNSCREEN if I don't want my skin breakout. Sunscreen is really important my fella, global warming made the atmosphere broken and UV rays sneaks more than before. I never use Innisfree skincare before and this one really such a gambling for me, as it costs $19 / Rp. 198.000,- either my skin into it, or not into it. BUT! Thank God, my skin love love love it sooo much. It caused purging once and twice, but all went well until now. 

2. Garnier Micelar Water 

Yes, after I met my co-workers, I decided I have to double the face cleaning job. Yeah, double cleansing! So, that kind-hearted guy gave me his preloved Garnier Micelar water for me to try. It does work well on my skin, no purging, non comedogenic, or acnes pops out.  I also try Ponds (works well too) and now I'm trying this Garnier Micelar Water with Oil. But unfortunately those with fragrance sensitive skin, can't buy this, cause it has that ingredient.

EXTRAS

1. Vaseline Skin Therapy

I personally do not like this for my dry chapped lips. My sister once running a skin care business and made a lipbalm using beeswax and those are my lips' happy days. And from that moment, I became a lipbalm junkie. I can't live without lipbalm. But this Vaseline, can't do better than my sis'. Maybe because it isn't a lip therapy but a repairing jelly for dry skin that can be used also for lips. I don't know. But, I already bought it, i used it every night and day just to prevent my lips from being dry. Articles said that it may be the petroleum jelly. 

2. Acnes Acne cares and Etude Hand Cream

For Acnes, my skin get along well with this brand. I use their Acne Soap to cure my teenage damn acnes and the spot healing acnes cares also. For the Etude hand cream, I got two and I rarely use it. So sorry eventhough my hands are rough! ckckckck.

Okay guys~ Here's the end of my skincare routine diaries. Hope you all love it and us girls, really need to treat our skin most of it, facial skin well. Who doesn't scare of getting old? So, let's invest! See you!

Janice

PENGALAMAN NAIK RAILINK INDONESIA

Sunday,
April, 29th 2018

Hello! Sudah lama banget tidak berjumpa di jurnal :)

Apa kabarnya kalian?

Bulan Maret yang lalu, aku penasaran banget mau nyobain kereta Bandara itu. Kereta Bandara ini dikelola oleh PT. Railink (perusahaan swasta dibawah PT. Kereta Api Indonesia) dan memiliki jalur SHIA (Soekarno Hatta International Airport) sampai ke MRI (Bekasi) juga loh. Nah, untuk pembelian tiketnya bisa melalui online reservation H-30 sampai H-1 keberangkatan. Pembayaran bisa dilakukan dengan kartu debit/kredit berlogo Visa, atau BNI atau Mandiri jika kalian mau beli on the spot. Selain itu, KA Bandara hanya memiliki 3 stasiun utama untuk naik dan turun penumpang, jadi kalian tidak bisa sembarangan berhenti sembarangan seperti naik KRL yang memiliki hampir puluhan stasiun yah. Stasiunnya adalah Bandara Soekarno Hatta, Batuceper dan BNI City.

Saya coba naik dari Stasiun Batuceper karena rumah saya dekat dari sana, dan stasiun ini belum 100% jadi dimana orang-orang bisa 'berekreasi' dan belum terlalu nyaman. Karena belum ber-AC, belum ada toko-toko makanan, dsb. Tetapi sudah dapat dipakai dengan baik dan layak untuk turun dan naik penumpang. Untuk 2 stasiun lain, sudah sangat layak. WC nya rapi, bersih, sudah ada tempat makan, tempat duduk santai sambil menunggu jadwal keberangkatan, sudah ada petunjuk arah, dilengkapi dengan elevator, dsb.

Untuk di dalam keretanya sendiri pun sangat nyaman. Saya harap semoga ini bisa dijaga terus sampai ke depannya. Karena ini salah satu aset yang sangat baik bagi kemajuan di Indonesia (Jakarta sementara ini). Dilengkapi dengan toilet dan tempat untuk meletakkan koper, kursi tempat duduk yang nyaman. Tapi satu yang disayangkan, karena tidak terlihat ada peta ataupun display rute. Jadi, kita benar-benar diajarkan untuk mandiri dan berjaga-jaga, harus memulai paradigma negara maju :)

Satu yang ketinggalan dan tak kalah penting. Harga tiket! Heheheh, kalau weekend, 50% dari weekdays. Untuk weekdays 1. Bandara - Batu Ceper (Rp. 35.000) 2. Batu Ceper - BNI City (Rp. 35.000) 3. Bandara - BNI City (Rp. 70.000)

Sebagai penutup, mari kita lihat-lihat fotonya.

TAKE YOUR TIME

MUA by Emi Kaneko ; Photography by unknown

Hello, everyone!

And Merry Christmas to you all. May the joy and love of Lord surrounds you always :)

How's your holiday? Thrilled enough? Take joy in every little thing you do.

I randomly want to scroll through Thought Catalog this afternoon to yeah, find some good article to read. Because it's been a while since the last I 'emptied' my books. And wanted to find about selfhelped article for this lonely soul. Hahahaha. Well, from those articles I'll sum up for you.

1. Improve yourself from every single aspects of your life

This is, undoubtedly true. It's the best time to improve yourself. Be a better person. 

Learn how to smile, be kind, make friends, learn new things, new hobbies, new skills, broad your mind so you're not being labeled as a boring one, read newspapers of political issues, business issues, environments, space, and whatever to broad your knowledge. Learn to do a deep convo instead of some useless small  talks. Be confident of yourself. Have integrity. Improve your personality. Pamper yourself a lil bit. Put on some makeup, take hair cut, buy good clothes, be as fine as you can be. Head up and open your chest. We all have our own ideal type, take courage to match those. 

2. Love and respect yourself. FIRST.

Love yourself doesn't mean being a narcissistic person. It means, that you maintain your health, get enough sleep, remove toxic peoples, love your job, know when to say no or yes, drink enough water, load up some positive thoughts, read books, go watch a movie, be kind, don't take things to hard, be independent, have some Yoga or morning run. All to get yourself a better and balanced life.

3. Do not LESSEN your worth

Never. Ever. There will be someone that will match your personality. That will match your worth.

All of your hard works, will be paid. A partner that requires you to be less and match their standard personality doesn't even worth your bag, huh. Unless you want to do so. Then, I said freewill is given to you. 

4. Travel

Travelling solo is everyone's dream. If you really mean it, travelling will do a worth favor for you. From travelling, you can learn so many new perspectives of how this world is mad and find what you need to do, learn from all of the people around you, bad, good. The best time to have a self introspection, to have an enlightenment, to find a turning point of your life.

5. Always do a question start from "Am I?" instead of blaming people

Always. Questioned yourself first "Why everyone doesn't like me?" "Why I don't enjoy my job?" "What can I do to make more money?" instead of blaming people for what was done to us.

6. Remember. HE got a weird calculations of time

If it's not His time yet. It will not come to us. And if it's come to us, than it's not from Him. Trusting God and put our faith isn't an easy task. Surrender all things, and let Him do the magic. 

Faith is believe of what you can't see, and see what you believe -St. Augustine

To those who seek the wonder of themselves, may the universe be with you. Let us all be bright as we have to be.

How's Life?

Hi, all!

I know I’ve been abandoning this blog  for a long time. It’s not I’m too busy to write. But I kinda don’t have the subject to write plus I don’t have much photos to share with you. Before, I wanted this blog to be a some kind of ‘event related’ blog, turns out I don’t attend as many  event as I hope I would be. Though, I named it ‘journal’ which I can write everything I want like my daily life, ‘diary’ posts, or anything that related to journaling ended up I didn’t take proper photos for it. Ugh, so this is what they called writer's block.

Maybe, you guys can suggest me any kind of post you want to read from me? Oh, actually I write a journal and I decorate it which I update every week. Is it interesting for you to see? I would consider it.

A little life update. It’s been 11 months since me & my sis opened up a café which we named it “WICKED COLD” why? We make the ice cream with Liquid Nitrogen which make the ice cream colder than the other. Wicked, like the cold is so cold. Hope you get it ;) Well, the business is growing slow I don’t know if it’s because the market there isn’t high or what, because there were so many restos closed in the end. We give promos, adding some other menus than ice cream & frozen yogurt, and those. Maybe we’re a lil bit ambitious took 3 years straight rent and didn’t think about the pros and cons. Me & my sis found out that we two got a free personality which we hate doing the same thing, same routines and being at the same place for a long time. So, we end up boring going to the same place like everyday. We need a ‘constantly moving’ business like online business where we can go everywhere we want, still replying those messages, and sent them the day after. We realized that running cafes or restos business is such a BIG RESPONSIBILITY. But I’m glad, now I learned how people struggling their business, I know how drained those F&B’s workers, I learned to be more patient because there’s a lot of weird customers, and how much money they spent just to promote their business. I hope me & my sis can survived this field. HAHA. 

I thought, that there are some people that born to be in business field, but some aren’t. Building offline business needs patient, strategist brain, and an extrovert personality. It’s like passion. Now I don’t  think that I’m tht kind of person. Thank God, that we finally learned something from it.  But it’s good to ever experienced it, I thank my uncle a lot lot lot to spent such money for us. And God told me to ‘JUST DO YOUR BEST’ cause everything is already done and run. SO I HAVE TO!

Until next time, hope you’re still with me!

HOW TO FIGHT PROCRASTINATION

For procrastinators, there’s always today in another day. Raise your hands if you’re with me.

__

So, here are my ultimate few tips for fighting it. Hope it helps J

[] Plan your activities

Having a planner helps me a lot. And also, I do decorate mine. Plus, making a key color really helps you to organize which activities/plans that has to be prioritized. The point is, when you know what you have to do each days, you’ll be get ready to do it. E.g. on Wednesday, I need to deep clean my bathroom, so on Tuesday, you’ll buy some things you need for cleaning up, or sleep earlier. Tips from me, plan every the end of the week.

[] We don’t know what will happens tomorrow

THIS.IS.IMPORTANT. We don’t know what will happen next. It might be there’s important event we need to attend or any force majeur we can’t avoid even sudden bad situations. If your plans really really important, please do it now, do it that day. E.g. Today you have to booked a flight for next week, but you ended up booked it the next day and it was already sold.

[] Mom’s yelling

THIS.IS.THE.SECOND.IMPORTANT who wants to hear Mom’s grumblings? No one wants. Count me in!

[] Do it today!

“Just do it”
