MAY MAY MAY! so much to do in may. I still owe you that interview with Indonesia’s best bartender (so sorry about that) been busy learning tax and economy. So, beside that I will be reviewing a book, an American classic. Ah yes, finally I read more books. Then, a movie maybe? I don’t quite know yet what I’m gonna do this May because I really need to get extra credit for this semester. Let May be a MARVELOUS month. 

okay, I have to face midterm next month which means no fun content. uumm.. WRONG! I do have a line up of fun related stuff I do want to share. First, I have in my mom’s phone the contact of Indonesia’s best bartender (YAY!) and I am about to ask him some Q and get some A about his job, profile, fun facts and what it feel to be known as Indonesia’s finest bartender. Another review coming your way is one of the most awesome Indonesia’s film ya’ll might know from many film festivals, The Raid. It is now playing at the same time in Canada, USA and Indonesia. cool eh? Anyway, another fun thing I am planning to post in the funbox is called ‘NOT SIGHTSEEING, JUST SEEING’ is where I, walkabout the places I’ve never been before, alone. With the money I have left from a week of school, I will somehow manage to explore another part of Jakarta I’ve never walk-in-to before.

So yeah, if you wanna know about the best bartender, the awesome movie and just curious about how my journey ends up, feel free to bookmark this tumblr for next month update and I will be seeing you. Bye For Now!

hey, let’s be honest here. I am a 17 year old teenage girl and as much as I don’t want this blog to be all about my life and all that little boring details, I could not help to post this text (a girl got to express herself somehow). 

Anyway, looking at the picture above seems like a simple enough word. IDENTITY. The (underline) DISTINCT (underline) personality of an individual blablabla. Distinct. Different. Unique. That thin line that divides you between the rest of the world. I like identity so much that I think I might have distinct myself too much most of the time. Well, the main topic here is being different. Now, some of you might already know that you are different from everyone else and that’s a blessing. You can embrace that feeling and accept yourself from all the good and the flaw. But for those who are still searching the answer to that ‘Who the hell am I?’ question, this post will be dedicated entirely to share my perspective towards it. 

The first thing ya’ll need to remember is this: there is no right or wrong way to grow up. Your identity might change due to hormonal changes, peer pressure, influences, etc. BUUT… when you look back in the earliest time of your life, you might find that one personality you always have and that could become your identity. I was well known for being stubborn, a little bit stiff, a ‘follow-the-rule-book’ girl. I always enjoy my own company and I have a way of thinking ‘oh well, that’s you, not me.” For 17 years I’ve been like that. I sort of figure out who I am and when I’m not feeling like all the stuff I mentioned above, I don’t feel like myself. I began to understand what I like and what I don’t like about myself and how other sees me. I like to be my own identity even when there are some people who don’t. That’s fine.

So, since last month, there are almost absolutely no good news what so ever in my days. You (and I) would be glad to know that the dark clouds had passed, the gloom had gone out and the sun is in the horizon. Let’s start with the 1st thing I want to show you that actually motivates me to write this.

viola! I was just browsing around StumbleUpon (review coming soon, btw!) with the key word : Music. When I stumble on this mix playlist. A little bit too extreme to say. That lady sure is stressed out. Anyway, yeah I kinda feel this way some time ago. I’ll spare you for even caring about the sad small details. Bottom line is I was being judgmental and stereotype-oriented then I’ve apologized. Sure, I want things to be okay and normal again. But then there’s this stupid phrase: “You can’t always get what you want.” THANKS a lot! Now I really don’t have what I want. Ah but alas, I have a weapon to battle that phrase: ” When one door close. It opens another.” So, me, bursting with positive energy, got up and try another door. Well, it wasn’t a pretty journey. I cried, I blame, I scream, I even skip baths (a big NO NO for me) but all that too shall pass.

I was not trying to justify my acts nor I was blaming everyone else for what I’ve done and didn’t get. In the end, everything works out for the best and if we are truly friends and are meant to be, we will be. So here’s my philosophy: “There are 7 million people in the world. If 10 of them hate me, I think I can handle that.” I absolutely don’t recommend you to believe, follow or copy that. But we are all here because we’re unique. I have my POV and ways, you have your’s, your mom has her’s etc etc. I think it’s important to accept all ways as individual preferences. Coming near to my conclusion, if I may, I’ll quote Barney Stinson from How I Met Your Mother: “New is always better.” We don’t know for sure, but there’s no harm in trying. So in the spirit of it, we shall March On!

Busy is now my middle name, therefor, I shall just recap on what happens this month LATER on when all my hectic schedules are cleared. Just so you know, though I’m busy and all, I am having tons of fun. Of course minus the over the limit phone bills, stress, planning, re-planning, directing this and that, going here and there, etcetera etcetera. Shall I say I’m addicted to the euphoria of all this busyness. 

Students’ nightmare has become the main priority now. For me, history homework of ancient world civilization is the best homework so far. Beside the sociology brochure. That went bad but thanks to the trusty Snapy, it take jobs down like there’s no mercy. Halla! So, call me nerds but I’m lovin it. Not just that, I’m taking extra course on chemistry, math and physic. whaat? oh yes, this is the new version of me : Cisi 3.9 get one now!
