Real Women, don’t compete



Bo, qoben don’t. Ompete

***
Itu adalah tulisan original dari: ‘No, women don’t compete.’ Yang ditulis tanpa dihapus dan diperbaiki.

I do typo like ZILLION TIMES! I even mistyped every person’s name I put in my contact sore tadi. SEMUANYA!

But I care to present my self in the best way possible, tapi bukan untuk bangga-banggaan, melainkan untuk menunjukkan bahwa saya respect dengan orang yang saya ajak bicara melalui pesan singkat. Saya bertanggung jawab untuk menyampaikan dengan kata-kata baik dan tertata. Just to show them that I respect them, yang kalau beruntung bolehlah dibalas respect ai juga lah.

Hidup adalah saling harga-menghargai. Tapi kita pantang minta dihargai. Jadi untuk orang yang tidak bisa menghargai kita, ya jangan minta-minta tuk dihargai. 

Apasih.

Yang jelas habis zoom call malam ini, yang lagi-lagi selesai jam satu pagi, dengan pasukan perempuan yang terpisah-pisah.. saya dapat satu-dua insight menarik. 

But.. nah. What can I say. ‘Young people love to narrate their life too much’

So yeah. 
Just one thing for sure:

No, women don’t compete each other. They eat!

Tf it’s already SUNDAY! :((((((

June!! (Again)

Image
  May always has a way to ruin my routine. I lost my grandfather on May 2021 which turns everything upside down. Now, I have my May watching Johnny Depp trial while waiting for the news of Ridwan Kamil's missing son. So many things happened and yet, I can't pause the work. Work flows like a river with infinite end. But it's over now, it's June. The trial has ended (Johnny wins, yeay), the Governor's son still missing, and I am still stuck on my desk, working.  But now I am able to define joy. I always know that joy is from within and we can't rely on external source to be happy. This is June, so I decided to chose joy on daily basis. *** June, 2nd 2022

Something to Look Forward to

 My life was is great.  At least when I was in my early to mid twenties. Although, at the same time, I was experiencing the first and the biggest heart break of my life, because I broke up with my fiance. We were together for five years and a half, and in the middle of planning a wedding. I was devastated, but not too much. Because during those years, I always have something to look forward to.  I spent the first year of my career exploring Kalimantan and Sumatera. I visited over a hundred villages in remote area. Even those which are not covered by common transportation, and requires all kind of transportation: air, ground, and water.  Life was a constant planning of one field visit to another, or one event after another. I am planning my day to day basis to those goals only.  “Oh I have field visit to North Kalimantan next week, so starting today, my life is heading to that week. I prepare my house to be left alone for a week or two because of that visit…” and so on so forth. I didn

My COVID Story

Image
  22-02-2022 I got tested as COVID positive. The first time I had Covid since this virus went viral. It wasn't a good Tuesday, at least not for me. I constantly think about death, although I know so many people have recovered from it. I had the symptoms.. pretty badly.. that painful fever, body aching, I cry in my room, I move to the other room and cry in that room, wishing for death. I had sore throat, and hoarse voice. So.. yeah. I got covid. Days went by, and I learn to live with it. It's getting lighter, but what warms my heart is the attention I get from my surroundings. Friends keep sending me food, plenty of them.. frozen food, milk, chocolate, herbs, honey, oat biscuit.. everything I need is here because they're sending me. While writing this post.. which I'm pretty aware it's been a while since my last post.. I have an herb with honey. The herbs is from my bestfriend Hera, and the honey is from my bestfriend since high school, Ijal. I also had a cookie with
