Are you happy now?

-
Not sure if I am happy right now. I am just doing things as usual today, like playing games, checking messages, surfing the net, eating, playing with my cat, watching videos on YouTube, and sleeping.

Those above are all my activities during my university's holiday. The first term stars from the end of December (around Christmas) until midst-February, while the second term starts from midst-June until the first week September.

My dear readers, most of you will say, "Wow... that is quite a long day for holiday. Wish that my school/university is like that." But, I will not recommend this kind of holiday to you, guys, except that you have a lot of money that you can travel anywhere and anytime. It is boring as hell, wish I could go to university again because I miss my friends so much.

Deep inside, I want to do a single productive activity during this holiday, like doing a part-time job or intern, learning how to drive a car, travelling around Jakarta, hanging out with my friend, doing culinary travel,  and more. But, I feel like I cannot do those things since I am just a poor and lazy girl, yet want to go outside just to feel the sun/rain, sweat/get wet, and everything.

Again, "I am just a poor and lazy girl."

These days, I am working on translating a Japanese recipe book that I bought before New Year's Eve started. There are a lot of kanjis that I have never learned before, so I always look up on a dictionary–a very helpful net-dictionary jisho.org hehe. Also, some sentences in Japanese that are hardly to understand so I have to use Google Translate to help me–though I am not believing this app 100% since it is suck as f*ck. But, to be honest, this kind of activity is interesting and very helpful since I am studying Japanese in my university and love seeing kanji, yet I always get dizzy whenever I see them. Realizing or not, my kanji's collection become richer than before, so do my vocabulary's collection.

Aside of that, my mom also suggested me to do an intern at one of the biggest content-media in Indonesia, so that I can improve my writing skill–in a beauty content or should I say which I hate the most. But, "What is wrong without trying then?" Maybe, it turns out that the beauty content is such an interesting place to do than the one I love the most, travel/culture content. Today, I just sent my CV and this blog–full of my awful writings with true feelings–to the chief of that media, and now I am waiting for the result. "I get accepted or not, it is on God's hand." On one place, I do not want to get accepted since beauty content is not my skill, but on the other side I want to get accepted for improving my writing skill.

"Learn from every person, place, and time."

Here is my lesson for today.

l-r: Crunchy Salmon Mayo; Fish Katsu D - Picture: ZenFone 3 Max (feat. VSCO) First, I was craving for potatoes. But, after seeing the visual display of a few dish in this restaurant located in Cihampelas Walk, Bandung named Torico, I decided to try the dish there—and not to mention, my craveness for potatoes had changed into Japanese dish. #waitho For the menu, I only ordered two dish and each of them will be discussed below—from my point of view. Fish Katsu D (Steam Rice, Dori Fish, Mini Salad, & Lemon Tea) IDR 23K This dish is a special promo for celebrating The Independence Day of Indonesia called "Paket Kemerdekaan", and this promo only applies until August 31, 2018. My first impression about this dish is the taste will be as good as the presentation does. The katsu s are crispy on the outside, and the fish is soft on the inside. The fish is easily melted on my tongue after biting it for the first time, and makes me wanted to eat the fish more and more.

I Admire Who

When I get questioned, "A person whom you admire?" I will automatically be puzzled. In this world, there are a lot of people that I admire―few of them are becoming my inspiration. Friends, actors/actress, singers, youtubers , etc.―except parents. Why? There are a million reasons that I do not like about them, especially the way they educate their own child. Here is why. Every parents surely long for their child to reach their own dreams that is running smoothly without a single obstacle in front of them, including my parents. I am fully aware that if I succeed reaching my own dream, it means that I also succeed making my parents proud. But, as everyone know, a trip to our own destination is very complex. Which means a few of them will reach the top safely, while the others fall down or die in the middle of the trip. It all started when I already enrolled in elementary school. That time I was imposed by my dad to study every day every night (except on

With a vision “Shaping Indonesia’s Future”, the event’s purpose is becoming a space to discuss some hot and interesting issues that are spread in Indonesian youth society–or we call it as ‘millenials’–by gathering all leaders around Indonesia. From academics, athletes, government officials, business leaders, NGO leaders, social entrepreneurs, activists, artists, religious leaders, until scientists. IDN Times, as a media that are loved by millenials and Z generation, is the event’s organizer. The event had three stages (Nusantara Stage, Garuda Stage, and Bhinneka Stage) with interesting sessions in every hour, and you could pick one that interested you very much.
