Rejection? (Appearing lucky in not so lucky life)

So far, many things went smoothly in my life, imho. Kayak, yaudah aja gitu. Altho i don't really think too much about it, sometimes i wonder why. Even my closest people said something along the line, like, 'why are you so lucky?' Well, am i? I got rejection emails. lots of them. I failed classes, I make mistakes. See, people don't talk about rejection openly. Sometimes it even makes others feel small or insecure, even my own good friends feel it towards ME??? yo... Perhaps i just move on easily (i see this pattern with my relationships also tho lmao). Yknow, like when you flip a coin, it's a 50:50 chance, that's just how it is. this is in no way canceling the fact that im privilege, im well aware of that. it's just that, if you're facing rejection or a hard time right now, you are not alone lovelies. Gimana ya, i think it's just pretty normal, don't really make a big deal out of it. Well, not to invalidate their feelings but yall i face rejection

Melawan PTSD

Finally gonna continue this kind of a series lol Hai! Sekarang aku pengangguran (BOOO!) jadi banyak waktu buat nulis blog deh Sekarang lagi sibuk ngurus buat ke CH, sebenernya banyakan browsing gitu, gak begitu nyita tenaga. So, as I said before, PTSD had taken over my life and I needed to get out *  just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta hereeee*    gurl we be in ch for almost a year now get a grip lmao that's how much i procrastinate. Hal-hal yang membuat aku bisa pulih dan lanjut nulis laporan setelah 2 minggu keluar dari RS: 1. Obat dan Psikiater Fridep and Clobazam were my baes! Mungkin setelah minum obat rasanya agak lebih tenang gitu, terus pikiran-pikiran anehnya bisa teredam. Cons: bikin ngantuk. Susah juga ngerjain laporan kalo habis minum obat. Aku minum obat selama sekitar 4-5 bulan intens, terus coba-coba buat gak minum rutin. Syukurlah hari ini aku sudah bisa lepas dari obat-obat itu. Sempet terakhir minum obat beberapa sebulan/dua bulan yang lalu kare

2020 is wack

Salut! as you may know right now, 2020 is basically a disaster. We're in the middle of this pandemic called COVID19 and I mean, I know it means that im a part of a big historical event but MAN this sucks. I just started my master (not really, but yknow i was so hyped for spring and summer) et VOILA! i couldnt go anywhere. Ok not that i hate it tho. It's actually pretty convenient for me as well, i didn't get to see too many ppl, which is quite nice, but it's getting boring and i think one time i got so sick of it. Mais maintenant je pense tout le monde s'est adapté au 'new normal'. if you're here with me in vaud, i bet you've seen this literally EVERYWHERE (cr:  https://www.svmed.ch/message-de-lofsp-concernant-coronavirus/ )  well, summer's approaching, people demand their holiday. Since we've been doing this lockdown since march 19th, people stopped being worried too much and i barely see anyone with masks these days. I went to th

De Javasche Bank (Bank Indonesia Museum), Vihara Dharma Bhakti, Cat Cafe

Image
this is a delayed post :( I've been wanting to write about my trip to these places but haven't got the time to do so. I and a friend of mine have been planning to go to vihara for some time and we finally did! We met at the station and proceeded to go to De Javasche Bank (I almost got hit by a motorcycle but all is good). This building was initially a bank but now it's a museum. We paid Rp 5000 for the ticket and we were served with beautiful history of Indonesia's economy. Although it's not too interactive but it's better than most museums. The rooms are nice and cold, the visuals are pretty aaaand we luckily got the chance to watch the history of De Javasche Bank in an immersive room! It was part of the package but they don't always play the movie. There's this cool room filled with gold bars and there's also a room full of money from around the world.... well yea basically it's all about the money money money Next! We went to Vihara

Rasanya Kena PTSD he he

So as you may know from my previous post, I got PTSD and I've learned so much from it. On March 2018, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety disorder. Sebenernya, diagnosa awalnya memang bukan PTSD, tapi dua hal itu ada di PTSD, dan setelah beberapa kali konsul ke psikiater dan bicara sama orang-orang yang memang paham mental illness, I came to a conclusion that it is PTSD. How bad was it? Well, idk, I don't really want to scare people out, but... Awal pas parah-parahnya sih sampai gak bisa denger suara motor, ketukan pintu, ringtone HP. Pasti langsung susah nafas, deg-degan, keringetan, tremor, yea stuff like that. Namanya serangan panik, dan rasanya gak enak banget. Parahnya juga saat itu lagi penelitian tugas akhir dan tinggal nulis laporan. Like, hell, I don't want to redo the whole thing, lemme just do this no matter what. So yeah, setelah diagnosa awal, aku rawat inap 2 hari kayaknya, terus jeda penlit dulu, pulang ke rumah selama dua minggu. Kenapa cuma

Visiting Baduy Dalam and Baduy Luar! (Inner Baduy and Outer Baduy)

Image
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START I'M SUPER EXCITED So on June 29th until 30th, I visited Baduy, both Dalam and Luar (Inner and Outer) for the first time in my life! It was so much fun! I arrived at Rangkas Bitung Station as my meeting point with the team. After that, we took a 1.5 ish hour trip with this minibus looking thing to this place called Ciboleger Village. We ate a bit, and had some light conversation, like yknow, asking names and stuff. But I can't really remember names that well, so I forgot everything in a heartbeat HAHA :( but I remembered the names eventually At 2 p.m, we took some pictures and started walking and I SWEAR THE FIRST FEW STEPS WAS THE HARDEST!! Our beautiful faces before the trip. There were guys too, but they didn't do pics as much lmao Maybe our bodies weren't really used to walking while carrying a lot of stuff in such a hilly environment, but after an hour it got easier (????) not really but like my heartbeat wasn't a
