Good Bye 2015!

So Hi!
It's still 9: 29 pm on January 1, 2016 when I start writing this so it's still new year, right?

I'm sleepy, finally I feel sleepy in this hour. Since I arrived at Korea, most of the time I can't sleep before it's 2 or 3 am and it's so annoying!
But I decided to write on my blog about what I thought on the previous year 2015.

I'm actually not the type who has a good memories or remembering how the feeling of  some particular events in my life if it's already happened for quiet a long time. Well, long time for me means more than 4 months. I know it's quiet short but I do really have a bad memories.

For me 2015 is a beyond imagination year!
It isn't a plain year like some previous years in my life.
In this year I've been through a lot of things.

At the first time of my life, I decided to try a new challenge to be a leader of a music event. I know I'm an amateur who know nothing on organizing a music event before but the reason to took that challenge is because I want to be a music promoter or become a Korean Entertainment Agency's staff in the future so it would become a great experience for me to learn about the environment in this field. I was also taking a big step at that time since that was also the first time for me to finally had the courage to take the leader role on big event or occasion.

But then those became a big lesson in my life. Well, a big lesson won't come easily. It means that there are hurtful, rough, and hard path that I've been through in order to get the lesson. In this experience I was learning to face a failure and my biggest failure is not able to manage the risk well and fail to put us together in one vision so everything become a mess. At this time I didn't know what decision that I had to make it everything's right so I decided to step down from my position as a team leader.
Those decision was not an easy thing to make because I know that I can lost my credibility and be judged as irresponsible person for a long time but at that time time what I could think was if I keep my ego and keep being a leader then I will ruin this team deeper.

These failure may be the worst failure I’ve ever had but then I know that it isn’t a bad choice for the team and myself because from the new team leader, I able to learn more about leadership and how to handle people also facing the problems. And then from this experience I believe that failure is not there to destroying me but to develop me more in the future. That’s why I’m not embarrassed to tell this story to people. From the past experience, I realize that I eagerly want to expand my limit from many and various people also experiences in order to become a successful and global leader.


Then I tried to apply one of the exchange scholarship program that I've been waiting for about 3 years. This scholarship means a lot for me since it's been a long time that I want to go abroad, do exchange, become a better person for myself and people around me, and also go to South Korea. While completing the application I put a mindset in my mind that it would be the last chance for me to go abroad, get scholarship, and do exchange program since I'm already in my last year of college so if I couldn't get this scholarship then I've to focus on my internship report and thesis.
At this time I didn't even dare to tell to many people even my best friends that I'm applying this program since I'm afraid that if I tell to many people and I failed, I'll be feel ashamed and stress.

And a miracle happen to me! I became one of the awardees in this program which is FAFL 2015/2016 (Fostering ASEAN Future Leaders Programme 2015/2016). I couldn't even believe myself that I worth to receive this scholarship. But then I still didn't dare tell this good news to many people even my best friends because I was facing hard times when completing the documents and the visa application. I was fighting with the time. Every preparation was so thrilling so I thought that I'll tell my best friends when everything is fix and clear.
But then I feel so sorry since I was able to do that,telling the good news to my best friends, when I already on my way to the airport so they didn't have the chance to meet me before I was going to South Korea.

A lot of 'first time happening in my life' happened while doing this program. It the first time for me to experience the magic of mountain and truly see also experience it by myself the word "People will show their true self in mountain". I hiked! I truly I did and had a bravery to climb a mountain. And I wouldn't able to climb without all the help from my ASEAN friends. Trust me my ASEAN friends are amazing people in one place!

I'm still doing this exchange program until now. What I can say about this program is I learn a lot to be grateful every second and be mature as a woman. There are always miracles in my daily and everyday life while doing this program and also there are a lot of challenges whether it's in my personal or professional life that makes me always have to learn to be a mature woman.

Hans Christian Andersen once saying, "To Travel is to Live" is really true.
When you do really travel, everything is just different from what you always heard. The spiritual experiences aren't able to be described in the words. While traveling you'll know how to be truly appreciate every moment, every second in your life

So good bye 2015!
A wonderful and beyond imagination year in my life!

I leave this year with true smile since I know that I've done all my best in my personal and professional life even in my love life!
So I leave this year with no regrets!


And in case you're curious with what is my resolution in this leap year then I'll boldly saying:

I WANT TO ALWAYS BE LOVED!






Cheers!

Love and Passion

Hi Guys, it’s been a while since I share my thoughts and feelings here. Been busy around and just maybe lazy to think and write something. But here I am again. Glad to be able to come back and push my brain again. Actually I write this post because I just read one of my value best friend’s thoughts about fall in love in her eyes and she’s inspire me in some way to also write about my thoughts about people called “Love”. Well you can see her post on https://nadhirulmaghfiroh.wordpress.com/2015/07/11/fall-in-love/ .  I personally think that she write a great post, I love how brave she is to write and express her opinions boldly and well she always inspire me somehow. I admire her in person and I believe that she'll be a great person in the future ;)

Well people always think that I’m a melodramatic person from many aspects in my whole life. The books that I read, the movies and dramas that I watched, the status that I wrote in my social medias, and the conversation that I often to talk with my friends clearly lead me to a romance person. I won’t deny it since that’s a thousand percent correct and I sincerely love the way I am.

I maybe talked about how many times I fell in love with various guys and how many times I wonder about how does it feels to have a guy that loved me back since I’m not having these kind of guy yet in my life. Many people see me as a desperate girl in that area, in my romance life. But actually I also realize that for me, love is not all about woman-man relationship. I also always think that love is everything that you want to do and makes your heart beat faster when you feel or do it. I do fall in love with many guys but I also fall in love thousand times with my lifestyle, with everything that I currently doing and did. The truth is many people seem see that I’m falling in love with my professional life more than my own romance life. Many people see me as a passionate person if I already do something that I love.

For me falling in love is a good thing because it’s something that you feel passionate about and want to do a hundred percent on it. I actually love the thrill when I tried something beyond my imagination to achieve my dream. I love the thrill and the way my heart beat faster when I’m waiting for the result of something that I’m already do with all passion that I might have. Even if it’s ended with a failure but at least I enjoyed the thrill and I know that I already did my best. Then I push myself harder to move forward and try again.

Again, you should know that whenever you’re in love then you must make sacrifice in some areas. Well in my case, when I’m falling in love with the work that I do or the dream that I’m working for then I instantly putting aside my own romance life. It does makes me desperate about the needed of romance and a need to be loved by a guy , but I without much realizing it, I also know that it’s something that I’ve to sacrifice for the sake of the things that I loved or prioritize more in my life at the time being.

It just depended on every people about the things that they fall in love with. Some people love with their work, some people love with their religion, some people love with their romance life, some people love with their families, some people love with their pets, some people in love with politics, and so on. Well you can also fall in love with not only one thing in your life. It’s your freedom to choose and live with it.

And I think it’s good when you’re in state of falling in love since when you’re in this state, you’ll put you concentrate, your passion, your willingness, your commitment, and your one hundred percent on it. But again, I think you should realize that your live isn’t all about the areas that you’re fall in love with. There are some other aspects that I also important for you. So balance it and don’t make yourself blind with everything that you’re falling in love with.

I won't say that I'm already success to balance my life. Well I've to admit that it's hard to balance my professional and personal life. But at least I try to aim those balance life. In the end, Happy Saturday :)

Another Epic and Best Life :)

Today is one of the best part of my life ..

It always happen whenever I meet my best friends from high school. Meeting with people who know the worst and best things of yourself and accept it. Loving you without judging you ..

It always nice to meet them ..

Sepertinya menjadi sebuah agenda semesteran tak tertulis buat kita berenam untuk bertemu full team minimal satu hari aja di saat kita sedang libur kuliah, entah hanya pergi ke mall atau kemanapun deh yang penting harus berenam kumpul semua gak boleh ada satu pun yang absen.

Semester ini kita memutuskan untuk pergi ke Surabaya Carnival Night Market, salah satu tempat liburan seperti BNS di Malang, yang baru banget buka di Surabaya sehingga benar-benar memancing antusiasme warga Surabaya untuk mencoba dan merasakan sendiri tempat ini. Konon beberapa hari ini tempat ini rame banget dan bakal antri panjang di setiap wahana atau bahkan hanya untuk sekedar beli tiket wahana. Oleh karena itu, kita memutuskan untuk kumpul pukul 4 sore dengan asumsi agar tidak terlalu ramai.

Perjalanan kali ini dimulai dengan kabar bahwa Nurul mendadak sakit perut bulanan. Kendala pertama yang terjadi kepada Nurul saat kita akan bertemu hahahaha. Tapi untungnya, sakit itu tidak bertahan terlalu lama dan juga ditambah kita tetap meminta dan mungkin bias dibilang memaksa Nurul untuk tetap ikut karena jarang-jarang kita bisa kumpul. So The first problem solved! :P

Salah satu hal yang menjadi agenda kita kali ini adalah karena pada keesokan harinya tepatnya tanggal 8 dan 9 Agustus 2014, dua teman kita Ima (tanggal 8) dan Mia (tanggal 9) ulang tahun, kita memutuskan untuk membuat kejutan kecil-kecilan dan sederhana untuk mereka, yaitu Rara bertugas untuk membuat kartu ucapan mereka berdua, sekedar info .. Membuat Kartu Ucapan adalah keahlian Rara ;), sedangkan aku dan Nurul berencana untuk membeli kue tart untuk mereka berdua. Sebenarnya kejutan ini sedikit meragukan karena kita mengenal bahwa pamali untuk merayakan ulang tahun sebelum harinya. Namun, karena hanya hari ini satu-satunya hari dimana kita bisa kumpul bareng dan lengkap, jadi kita memutuskan untuk mengabaikan pamali tersebut Hehehehe ..

Sebuah hal yang selalu aku syukuri saat aku bertemu dan bersama mereka adalah kita tidak pernah memiliki momen awkward bahkan setelah kita sudah lama tidak berjumpa. Hal itu juga terjadi pada hari ini, sesampainya kita di sana dan bertemu satu sama lain, kita langsung mulai bercanda, mengejek satu sama lain, sarkasme keluar, rame, heboh tanpa ada momen hening atau awkward sedikitpun layaknya orang yang telah lama tidak bertemu.

Saat kita semua telah berkumpul kecuali Mochan, kita pun mulai saling melucu, bercanda, dan menanyakan kabar satu sama lain. Di saat ini, Ima memberi kabar bahwa ia baru saja putus dengan pacarnya. Di saat itu aku refleks bilang yang sebenarnya adalah sebuah kebodohan, “ Alhamdulillah.” Dengan wajah senang dan semua orang pun mencemoohku dengan berkata betapa jahatnya aku dan setelah itu kita tertawa bareng. Namun meskipun kejadian ini mungkin tidak bisa dimengerti oleh pihak lain, tapi kita ngerti bahwa di setiap guyonan kita, termasuk hal ini, tidak ada maksud offense sama sekali. Itu hanya bentuk sarkasme kita, So Ima, you know that I’m so sad that you broke up, right? It’s all just purely kidding ;), But still I wanna say welcome to Jomblo’s world hehehe.

Saat kita sedang ngobrol dan bercandaan, datanglah Mochan. Hal yang seru adalah di saat Mochan datang, Rara refleks berdiri dari duduknya dan menyambut Mochan dengan bahagia dan hebohnya tanpa sadar bahwa ia sedang memangku dompetnya sehingga dompetnya terjatuh tanpa ia sadari. Jatuhnya dompet itu memancing keusilan kita. Nurul langsung menendang dompet itu ke arah Mia, dan Mia, si ratunya jahil, segera menyembunyikan dompet itu. Aku, Ima, Mia, dan Nurul spontan langsung diam dan berencana untuk tetap diam sampai Rara sadar bahwa ia telah melakukan kecerobohan. Sebenarnya keusilan kita ini juga sebagai salah satu cara kita untuk mengingatkan satu sama lain untuk lebih berhati-hati dengan barangnya. But we’re unique so we also have unique ways and rarely use common ways to send our messages to each other ;)

Setelah itu karena merasa semua sudah lengkap, aku pun mengajak Rara dan Nurul untuk menyingkir dan menyiapkan kue tart untuk mereka. Setelah semua siap, Rara pun mengajak semua yang tersisa ke salah satu spot dengan parker mobil untuk kasih surprise itu. Dan kejutan pun terlaksana dengan garing dan aneh, setelah itu, kita mulai memakan kuenya layaknya hyena yang berebut makanan. Hal ini terjadi karena kita gak dikasih pisau plastik sama mbak penjual kuenya jadi otomatis kita melakukan segala cara untuk memotong kuenya, seperti menggunakan tusuk gigi lilin, asal comot dengan tangan, hingga akhirnya memotong dengan credit card Mochan. Setelah acara makan-makan kue sudah puas dan selesai, kita pun masuk dan berkeliling Surabaya Carnival Night Market.

Our Birthday Girl, Ima and Mia :))

We Cut The Cake with a Credit Card ;)

Satu wahana telah kita naiki dan setelah berkeliling untuk mencari wahana lain, kita akhirnya menambatkan hati pada salah satu wahana semi roller coaster entah apa namanya (gak hafal :P) dan membeli kupon tiket lagi karena nominal kupon tiket wahana sebelumnya sudah tidak mencukupi. Saat kami satu per satu mengambil dompet dan uang, saat itu pula Rara mulai mencari dompetnya. Ima pun mendatangi Mia dan meminta agar dompetnya Rara yang dia sembunyikan untuk dikembalikan ke sang pemilik. Namun saat itu Mia berpikir, “ Lho Im, tadi tak tinggal di sela-sela kursi gak aku taruh ke tas dan habis gitu kan kita yang ditarik Rara buat tiup lilin itu kan?” dan paniklah kita saat sadar bahwa dompet itu beneran menghilang dan kita melupakannya. Kita pun segera kembali ke depan dan ke informasi untuk mengumumkan adanya kehilangan.

Moral 1 :

Udah jangan usil lagi, kita kapok usil! Apalagi kalo lupa sebelum prank usai.

Setelah melaporkan ke informasi, kita pun terduduk dan meratapi segalanya. Meratapi kebodohan tentang bagaimana bisa 4 orang tidak ada yang ingat bahwa dompet masih ada di lantai. Saat itu kita hanya bisa duduk merenung dan zonk-nya prank kita. FYI, uang yang ada di dompetnya Rara senilai Rp 150.000,00 dan ada pula ATM., KTM, STNK, tiket karcis motor, dll. Alhasil Karena kita semua merasa bersalah, kita pun memutuskan untuk urunan dan mengembalikan uang Rara yang hilang. Yahh .. setidaknya hanya hal itu yang bisa kita lakukan untuk menebus rasa bersalah yang melua-luap di dada.

Karena suasana dan Mood telah rusak, kita pun tidak lagi berkeinginan untuk naik wahana lain lagi, akhirnya kita memutuskan untuk makan, karena kita semua lapar. Kita pun kembali ke salah satu food court yang ada dan memesan makanan yang ada. Kita pun mencoba mencairkan suasana, bercanda, dan sesi curhat dimulai lagi dimana Ima kita paksa untuk menceritakan kronologi putusnya ia dengan pacar yang sekarang sudah berstatus mantan. Kita bercanda lagi karena kita semua bukan tipikal orang yang berlama-lama suka berkubang dalam kesedihan apalagi bila tidak ada lagi yang bisa kita lakukan selain pasrah, jadi kita masing-masing memutuskan untuk bercanda dan mencairkan suasana serta memendam kesedihan dan rasa duka dalam hati masing-masing.

Psst!! We have a guest Star. Welcome Acan!! It's nice to meet you here :D

Setelah makan, kita pun memutuskan untuk pulang karena hari sudah malam. Sebelum benar-benar pulang, Rara memutuskan untuk kembali ke informasi barangkali ada info terbaru atas hilangnya sang dompet. Ternyata ada informasi bahwa ada dompet yang ditemukan dan kita pun segera kesana untuk mengecek apakah dompet tersebut punya Rara atau bukan.

DAANNN!!

Dompetnya ketemu dengan isi beserta uangnya utuh. Kami sungguh berterima kasih kepada Nenek yang menemukan. Sungguh, terima kasih.

Moral 2 :

Masih banyak orang baik di dunia ini, masih banyak Orang Surabaya yang baik. Jadi jangan pernah menyerah dengan kebaikan dan tetap berusaha untuk selalu menjadi orang baik.

Hal kedua setelah kita mengucap syukur adalah :

“ Rak berarti kamu mesti balikin duit urunan kita yang uda kita kasih ke kamu. Kan dompetmu selamat seratus persen.”

Jadilah Rara mengembalikan uangnya ke kita beserta rasa lega luar biasa. Rasanya seperti sebuah beban berat terangkat dari hati, batin, dan pikiran. Dan aku yakin semua berpendapat sama dengan hal ini.

But if you read again about it situation, you’ll realize that It actually an epic moment. When you already gave someone money because of guilty feeling and when the wallet found, what we did were asking our money back!

SO WE REALLY LAUGH AT THIS MOMENT!!

Kita pun memutuskan untuk melakukan selfie terakhir di depan Surabaya Carnival Night Market karena mood sudah kembali sangat ceria dan kita juga memberikan kesimpulan dari kejadian ini, which is :

Usil itu masih boleh kok! :P

 

Ima, Mochan, Mia, Nurul, Rara, and Me (from left to right)

Well, another epic and best day of my life. Sebenernya hari ini bukanlah sebuah hari dimana menikmati Surabaya Carnival Night Market, tapi ini lagi-lagi sebuah hari dimana kita murni untuk bertemu dan bersenda gurau. Dan percayalah di setiap kali kita bertemu, pasti ada aja yang bakal terjadi, kejadian-kejadian aneh, lucu, dan gak pernah terduga yang kita alami. Dan Alhamdulillah ..  di setiap kejadian itu kita bisa menyelesaikannya dengan baik dan semoga apapun yang terjadi ke depannya, kita tetap bisa menyelesaikannya dengan baik dan berakhir tawa.

It always great to meet with some people who you can ensure that they love you without any requirements. Just love you because you are you.

I’m always be grateful to Allah because of it and because I meet this wonderful people.

P.S. : Saat mereka satu persatu telah berhijab, kini tinggal aku sendiri yang belum. Semoga secepatnya bisa menyusul, Aamiin!! :)

My Dream Employer

When I'm in senior high school in senior year. Many people start to wonder what major that we would take in the university. It also happens to me, I'm thinking and thinking hard about what I wanted to learn in the future, what is my passion, what I wanted to be for my work. But it's quite hard for me to find the answer since I still didn't know what I wanted to and what I'm good at.
And Super Junior give me an inspiration since I can't watch them on stage live because I'm not a rich girl who can buy the ticket so it become a motivation for me to be a promotor of Super Show, to work professionally with them. It become my biggest dream since then. So That's why I chose Communication Science major in my college to help me to reach it. So please guys, help and support me to in this competition and also my dream by liking this photo on facebook.

Namun sesaat kita bertemu hanya canda tawa dan ejekan satu sama lain yang tercipta, topik tak henti-hentinya mengalir begitu saja seakan mengikis kenyataan bahwa kami sudah setahun tak bertemu."

Beautiful Eonni and Her Suddenly Gift

You know, I have a new idol these day. He's a awesome and handsome swimmer from South Korea called Park Tae Hwan.
He has his own charm and complicated life, but He's awesome and inspiring ...
Park Tae hwan also make me find a new big sister from South Korea, her name is Heo JeongYun and I always call her Eonni ^^
She's very kind and patient I think, because I patiently answer my questions about Park Tae Hwan, hehehe ...
At the first day we knew each other, she suddenly give me a gift, a precious gift, the gift that I really want so much and think that it just a dream to have that stuff because it only sell in Korea and online. It's quiet expensive for me if I buy it online.

So thank you so much because this gift is so amazing. I'll keep and enjoy it. I hope we can always be a good friend and I pray the best for you. ^^"

Memorabilia Foto

Aku mengambil banyak foto akhir-akhir ini ... Banyak diantaranya yang sangat mengesankan dan meninggalkan jejak yang indah di hati, jadi saya ingin sekali membaginya di sini :)

 

I Call It " Miracle of a Friendship"

Hey,
I found it somehow on my mother's office, so I grabbed this paper :)

Kita adalah dua orang yang berbeda, justru cenderung bertolak belakang.
Dia memiliki kulit kuning langsat, sedangkan aku berkulit sawo matang. Suku kita juga berbeda.
But not just that, kita juga memiliki kepribadian yang bertolak belakang.
Aku cenderung orang yang suka memaknai dan berpikiran rumit, sedangkan dia justru membenci dan cenderung mengindari pembicaraan yang berat. Cara berpakaian dan style kita juga bertolak belakang.
That differences tak jarang membuat kita bertengkar dan kebanyakan adalah aku yang memulai pertengkaran itu. Our fate is also different. Kita sering memiliki impian yang sama, sayangnya kita tidak diizinkan untuk meraihnya bersama. Ada yang bisa melanjutkannya, sedangkan yang lain harus diam di tempat, melepaskannya, dan mencari impian yang baru.
Segala perbedaa ini memang membuat kita sering menemui waktu-waktu sulit, tapi entah mengapa we can through it. Aku tidak mengerti dan tidak mampu menjelaskannya dengan logika kenapa kita bisa terus bersama. Maybe I can that is miracle of a friendship.
