Jakarta Ramai

Jakarta. A crowded city in Indonesia, a hometown of mine, traffic issues everywhere, surrounded by skyscrapers, night life, urban life, crimes everywhere, and also... poverty. So ironic.

As the capital city of this developing country, I think the people of Jakarta should have more discipline in their activities.

1. Respect time because it has the same value as money as well.

No one can't resist that our simple excuse for coming late such as, "macet."

And also.. many people love wasting their valuable time for unnecessary things, hanging around places without any goal.

I used to live like those examples (coming late, and wasting time) but the more I grow.. I'm always trying to respect time. By doing that, I can be more productive without feeling overwhelmed and I can save my expenses.

So, I suggest you to have a monthly / weekly / daily planner to control your life and you can live to the fullest by doing necessary things that you love, or that you responsible of.

2. Try to use public transportation.

Well, I know our public transportation is so alarming so we'd rather use personal transportation. Well, I also know that tingkat kejaiman dan ego orang Jakarta itu besar, jadinya malu untuk naik angkutan umum. Orang Jakarta yang mempunyai mobil / motor lebih memilih untuk bepergian dengan kendaraan mereka sendiri karena tidak mau berdesakan, berkeringat, dan kepanasan. The folks are also too lazy to walk from one place to another one.

The ironic thing is, traffic issues highlighted this city caused by the using of personal transportation, and people coming late, and eventually we breathe more carbon monoxide than oxygen.

How can we awake the folks to realize this situation? Tidak semua angkutan umum itu keadaannya memprihatinkan, kok.

3. Budayakan antri.

Well, the serious problem among all. Menyela antrian orang lain adalah hal primitif dan tidak beretika sama sekali. Why can't people be more patient, huh?

Still, living in this crowded city is not a guarantee to be happy. A crowded place usually makes us feel alone, am I right?

Catching Up!

It's 2022 now. This blog somehow becomes the witness of my growth. I started this blog back in 2012, thus.. I'm already on blogger for 10 years. This blog lasts longer than my relationship, ever! 10 years have passed.. I was 15 yo, and now I'll be turning 25 this December. what do I do now? Am I the same old Nita? Am I better? Do I become stranger to some people? The answer is.... My life gets boring, if you ask. I'm living a typical adult life; working, working, working, working, and working. Oh, almost forget. I also become a mother of one, a daughter named Hagia. So, it's like balancing life among working, be a mother, socializing, and most of the time.. resting. I become more quite than I was in college or freshgrad days. I become anti-social. I enjoy being alone instead of get trap around people. I enjoy drinking my matcha-latte, while reading book.. or just simply scrolling through my Instagram or TikTok. I enjoy to have exercise once in awhile. I enjoy my bus...

Life Update from a 26 yo Woman

Sudah beberapa tahun terakhir ini aku tidak bisa menulis ataupun melukis apapun. Hidupku terasa datar, tidak ada hal lagi yang membuatku merasa senang (kecuali kehadiran anakku, Hagia). Tidak ada hal lagi yang bisa menginspirasi aku. Entah sudah sebanyak apa aku membeli peralatan lukis, buku catatan lucu yang banyak, namun tetap semuanya hanya berupa lembaran kosong hingga hari ini. Sampai semalam, aku kembali mencoba membaca seluruh postingan di blog ini, dimulai dari tulisan pertamaku di tahun 2012. Ternyata, ada begitu banyak kenangan manis, sedih, marah, kecewa yang aku tuliskan di dalam sini. Aku tumbuh dan berkembang di dalam blog ini, beberapa cerita kehidupan remajaku ada di dalam sini. Sebagai orang yang mudah melupakan kenangan-kenangan yang ada, membaca tulisanku sendiri membuatku merasa.... kembali hidup. Entah berapa banyak aku jatuh cinta, sakit hati, jatuh cinta, sakit hati, jatuh cinta lagi, dengan pria yang berbeda Orang-orang di dalam hidupku tidak begitu bertambah ba...

Proud Indonesian

Hi! It's been a while since I open this blog. Banyak banget yang harus diceritain selama ini. Dari mulai Mba Andes yang hamil dan bulan Agustus ini diprediksi melahirkan (phew, I'm gonna be Aunt again!), gue yang udah lulus SMA, berkah-berkah yang diperoleh selama bulan Ramadhan, dan cerita tentang teman-teman gue. First I'm gonna write about: RAMADHAN 2015. Why? It's actually my opinion about living in Bendungan Hilir (Benhil). As you know, Benhil is the most popular place to go while Ramadhan. Di pasarnya udah terkenal dengan jajanan-jajanan (ta'jil) untuk berbuka. Orang-orang mulai berlalu lalang sekitar pukul 4 sore, melihat-lihat apa yang dijajakan, dan akhirnya berhenti di satu pedagang. Ini adalah pemandangan normal yang gue lihat selama tujuh belas tahun gue tinggal di sini. Tapi... rasanya gue baru benar-benar melihat 'situasi' bulan ini, ya, pas tahun ini. Kenapa? Pengemis adalah hal tidak asing yang dilihat kalau kalian melihat jajanan di p...

Less the Same but, Stay...

As I said before we are less the same. And destiny is something we can't blame. As we live in two different poles. It seems pretty far for us to get close. As the earth rotates slowly, You're getting closer to me. As we may united, Probably I'll make our own ballad. But... Can't you see that we live differently? Oh, You... Me... How many probabilities that we have? How can we complete and salve? You're a beautiful creature. That make me crazier. I may fall deep in those sad eyes. Too deep as if I'm drowning in magis. Almost a year I'm drowning. But weird.. I'm not even dying. I enjoy it though it hurts. Maybe I'm one of those experts... That will stay though invisible. ***

The Fangirling Moment When They Talk About F1

I'd never talk about this though I should!! So I've watched F1 since in the 9th grade, and I only knew about Sebastian Vettel back then. My chairmate, Salsa, has a HUGE crush on him so I was her victim everytime she was fangirling. Like it or not, I listened to those craps. Then... I was feeling "What's so good with Vettel" and I started to watch F1. At the moment, BOOM, HE IS GOOD. I was starting to be his fan back then. Up until now, I'm still his fans and now I know some of racers which is COOL! Salsa may loves Vettel to death, but I ship Hamilton more than Vettel. Lol. But seriously, Hamilton is really cute! He's a total pro! He was the 1st racer ever that won in such young age (before Vettel broke his record). But... Hamilton is always be my... imaginary brother? Hamilton looks like he's a rapper instead of racer, though. He has this swag that makes him more adorable and cute. Then then then, I've heard about Rio Haryanto joins F1 for Ma...
