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 busy schedule as an employee and also my role as a mom. I think, my life is just so imperfectly perfect.

Am I still ambitious?

In some cases, I am. I still have plenty agendas to do, but afraid to tell it to many people, because, well... I'm afraid that my dreams won't come true. I think, that thought is actually part of my anxious mind.

But anyway, the point is... I am blessed, and I love my life the way it is now.

I can't believe that I'm truly an adult now.

Let's talk about love, again. My posts were mostly talked about love, the young love that was so passionate, that brought so many broken hearts. I do realize now that love is actually very calming... if you meet the right person in the right time.

Love was not about the butterflies in your stomach.

Or, screaming and yelling to each other.

Or, ignore your partner's need.

Or, let your partner always feel alone.

Or, saying mean things to your partner.

Or, throwing knife at your partner.

Or, leaving your partner behind.

Love is being present to your partner at any circumstances.

Love is being proud of your partner when they do something that makes them happy.

Love is showing-off to people that you love your partner so much, that you may hurt people just to save your loved ones.

Love is trying to help your partner with your best attempt.

Love is when you sacrifice your happiness to see your partner happiness.

Love is to learn how to surrender, to lower your ego.

Love is unrequited, like a mother-daughter bond.

Love is like I love Hagia.

Another thing... Love means privacy, not secrecy. Tehee-hehee.

Give and Take

What happens to teenager this day? What happens to Indonesian culture about polite, manner, and grace? It's so pathethic that now we rarely see it in our life. Let's take the easiest samples: 1. Menyela pembicaraan orang. 2. Make fun, laugh, yawn, stared hatefully toward the elders (it can be your lecturer or even your parent). 3. Being ignorance, arrogant. 4. This may be the simpliest sample of all... keluar / masuk ruangan tanpa ijin, main kabur,padahal sebenarnya bisa ijin dulu. etc. Some of the examples above are actually based on my observation in actual life. But then the question is: Can we live without polite, manner, and grace? Sekarang coba kalau dibalik. Kita jadi orang yang mendapatkan perlakuan yang tidak sopan. You feel uncomfortable, angry, sad, and insecure, don't you? Is that good? How can we have polite, manner, and grace? Well, I'm kind of person that believe in "Give and Take". Give and take is actually hands that help each oth...

Self Reflection

I haven't wrote anything. But will try to write... again. 4 tahun yang lalu, gue menuliskan tentang masa-masa menjadi maba  (mahasiswa baru) yang baru saja selesai melaksanakan PKKMB. Hari ini, beberapa teman angkatan 2015 sudah melaksanakan wisuda. Gue belum, semoga tahun depan mendapatkan giliran. Aamiin... Btw , entah mengapa pukul segini memang enak untuk menjadi sendu. Bukan sendu dalam konotasi negatif, tetapi cenderung ke arah positif. Tiba-tiba, jadi mengenang apa saja yang terjadi selama 4 tahun belakangan ini. Masa-masa di mana gue melepas seragam putih-abu, dan menggantinya dengan pakaian bebas. Malam ini menjadi sebuah renungan terhadap diri sendiri, atas apa yang telah dicapai, kesalahan, kebahagiaan, pertemanan, dan lain sebagainya. Katanya, kuliah adalah masa terakhir sebelum menghadapi dunia nyata. Katanya, semakin kita dewasa, kita cenderung menjadi realistis... mematikan cita-cita di dalam diri. Mematikan jiwa anak-anak yang ada di dalam hati. ...

That Fangirling Moment When They Talk About F1 (2.0)

I AM RIGHT! I'll present this post to who loves watching F1, to whoever that thinks that no one could break Vettel's record. JUST IN FACT: Max Verstappen is the youngest ever that won a race! Let's take a look back to the Spain GP, of course! I am so proud of my baby-rookie-cutie!! I mean, he's only 18! We are from 1997!! It will be difficult enough to break his record, EVER. (The Spain GP udah lewat lama..... and tomorrow will be the Canada GP, though.) As a huge fan of Sebastian Vettel (don't forget about his younger bro, Fabian) and as a long lost girlfriend of Lewis Hamilton... (sobbing) still and will always be theirs, of course. But I can't resist that I REALLY REALLY excited about Verstappen's achievement. I hope Vettel, Hamilton, Verstappen, or Ricciardo could win the Canada GP! It's enough for Rosberg, I guess. (What an evil mind of mine). As Indonesian, of course I ship Haryanto. I still have that believe. Hamilton came from GP2 once, b...

Intermezzo: Naif atau Bodoh?

Andai dunia itu nggak sesulit yang kita rasakan, ya. Dunia itu nggak baik bukan karena 'dunia' itu sendiri kan? Tapi karena manusianya. Dunia menjadi kejam karena ulah mereka yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Orang-orang yang mengenal saya mengatakan jika ada batas tipis antara naif dan bodoh di dalam diri saya. Terlalu lugu untuk melihat ini semua, tetapi sebenarnya bodoh karena tidak mengerti apa-apa. Saya bersyukur, karena saya dikelilingi oleh orang-orang yang melindungi saya agar tetap menjadi diri saya yang sekarang. Maksudnya, seperti bunga lotus yang tidak akan pernah kotor walaupun hidup di kolam berlumpur. Mereka, teman-teman saya, tetap menjaga saya seperti itu. Namun, ada kalanya saya harus sendiri. Pertemanan itu nggak harus selalu bersama-sama, cukup sirat hati yang menyatukan ikatan pertemanan. Nah, ketika saya sendiri itu lah saya merasa... bodoh. Maksudnya, saya sering melakukan kecerobohan. Mungkin, apa karena saya terlalu dilindungi mereka? "Dia itu adala...
