Current Favorite Things

Here are some things I've been obsessed to this past month:


1. Van & Camp Life on Pinterest

2. Videos of Tiny Apartments on Youtube
  
I'm officially obsessed with beautiful minimalist home design! 

3. Classical Music

My favorite is Satie's Gymnopedie no.1. I listen to it almost every night before sleep. The song brings a feeling of yearning, like being pulled back and forth through time. Like longing for something happening in the past to be happened once more. Put me in between the feeling of wistfulness and gratitude. 

This youtube video is one of the best plays of Gymnopedie no.1. It's actually just a usual Gymnopedie no.1 with some rain sound in the background. But what make it good is the nostalgic stories people wrote on the comment section. Reading those stories while listening to the music is super calming.

4. Weekly English Chit Chat Club

It's been almost a month since the beginning of this club. At first, Mbak Zia asked me to practice speaking English with her. I said to her I'd love it. But then days passed, and I did not actually put any effort to make the practice session happen hehe. 

Until one afternoon, Mas Yoga added me to a WA group with Mbak Zia and Mbak Mayang in it too. I knew right away it's the WA group for the English practice thing.

Sure enough, we texted entirely in English and then arranged a virtual meeting to practice speaking English. Then we choose a topic to talk about each week. So far, we've talked about loneliness, marriage, regret, and productivity. We are expecting another weekly meetings in the future with another deep but amusing topics.

It has always been nice talking to them. I love how this cheesy club has brought us together, especially in this time when we are kind of lonely and bored but can't meet in person.

Earlier this week, we sent each other food without knowing who sent to who. It was like a secret santa game. We thank each other and ate together later that evening. I was filled with so much love 💛 (and martabaks).😆

5. This quote

The last (but surely not least) favorite thing this month is this quote that I've shared on my previous post.

"I am focused only on the essential, to the exclusion of all else. I will make only pragmatic decisions. I will not allow myself to be distracted. I will not allow my mind to linger on that which is unimportant."

-Brad Pitt as Roy McBride in Ad Astra

Is There a Way to Make Everyone Loves You?

I guess there is no way we can please everyone, let alone ask everyone to love us. You can still try to make people like you, though. You can be: a good listener a helpful friend a supportive family member a loving partner, but there is no guarantee that you will be loved by the deeds you have done. People are unconsciously conditioned to like or dislike certain things or other people. They have their own perception of what's good or bad, which could be quite different from your perception of good and bad. So... In the end, just be unapologetically you . Stay true to who you are. Know that whenever someone judges you, they actually judge their perception of you. Which most possibly is not the real you. Know that any concept that molds our worldly status is just, well... worldly. Ephemeral. Impermanent. Keep spreading love and kindness. And never let anyone or anything stops you from doing good. Because you can't be perfect for everyone, but you can always try to do your best ev

Throwback

Setelah dua kali ops ke daerah Gunungkidul dan melewati kota Wonosari, aku teringat sesuatu. Awal kelas 12 dulu, aku pernah hidup selama satu minggu bersama orang-orang desa di Wonosari.  Kegiatan itu disebut live in. Aku sebenarnya sudah pernah menulis soal live in di blog ini, tapi tidak lengkap. Ada tulisan lengkapku tentang live in, yang kubuat karena diwajibkan sekolah (hehe), tapi hanya dipublish di blog kelasku. Nah, demi mempermudah dokumentasi, aku mau copy paste tulisan lengkap live in-ku ke sini. hehehe.  *** Memilih Bahagia oleh Eunike Adiprasasti / XIIA2/ 11 Hari pertama sampai di Wonosari saya merasa takut sekaligus excited. Siapa yang akan jadi keluarga saya? Bagaimana rumah saya nanti? Apa saja yang harus saya kerjakan? Dan, pertanyaan  yang paling sering muncul adalah apakah saya akan menikmati hidup di sana? Saya bukan orang yang melihat situasi hanya dari nikmat atau tidak nikmatnya saja. Saya punya rasa gengsi yang tinggi untuk mengakui bahwa saya
