Kompromi Quater-life Crisis, Pandemi dan Mimpi
Sudah cukup sering bukan mendengar dua istilah di atas? Rasanya sudah cukup lama saya ingin mencoba membahas dua hal ini. Namun tenaga dan pikiran belum cukup jernih untuk diajak berkompromi dengan hal-hal yang menyangkut produktivitas. Terhitung Januari 2021 ini, sudah 1 Tahun 4 Bulan saya bekerja dan menetap sendiri di DKI Jakarta. Selama itu pula, rasa gelisah dan beragam ketidakpastian dalam hidup saya semakin menjadi-jadi. Sebagai seseorang yang seringkali merencakan mimpi, saya sudah berusaha mem-breakdown ketidakpastian dan kegundahan yang menyeliputi hari-hari saya. Usut punya usut, apa yang saya rasakan dan detailkan tadi memang lumrah dirasakan oleh orang-orang yang sebaya dengan saya. Mengutip definisi dari Wikipedia: Quarter-life Crisis is a crisis…

Belajar Enam Bahasa Asing Sekaligus
Banyak hal yang telah berubah di blog personal saya ini, mulai dari bahasa yang sok-sokan keminggris, sampai ketiadaan psotingan baru hingga berbulan-bulan lamanya. Sampai pada ketika saya menerima invoice masuk di akun gmail saya yang tidak lain adalah dari Rumahweb. Ini kok tagihan muncul terus? Apakah jangan-jangan selama ini saya hanya menjadi donator Rumahweb? (Ini gak di-endorse ya!) Sebagai pengguna layanan yang rutin bayar tagihan hosting dan domain tiap tahunnya, yang tentu akumulasi rupiahnya tidak sedikit, bisa dibilang blog ini sebenarnya lebih berat di ongkos ketimbang sumbangsihnya di pendapatan adsense. Hehe. Menilik ke belakang, terakhir kali ada issued payment dari Google Adsense saya adalah 2019 lalu. Yasudah lah, semoga kali…

Everything Happens For A Reason
There were myriad moments in my life that made me difficult to forget. The moment when I failed the university admission exam, the moment I didn’t win a competition, and the moment when I lose some precious stuffs that belong to me. They were full of bad experience indeed. Not only because they were “pricey”, but also those stuff no longer could support me to run the day and the future. These are some stories I’m trying to recall that gave me immense lessons in life. I’m not sure to what extent the lessons have contributed to shape who I am today. But, the failure and loss as the result…

The Update of People, Pandemic, and Productivity
Everyone’s life has changed dramatically since early 2020. It was nothing serious when the Covid-19 hit Wuhan, China, and spread throughout the whole of China mainland. Even so, here, the virus was even taken into claimed-funny jokes by some people. One of them is that the virus was not supposed to survive in a tropical climate like Indonesia. That statement turned out to be completely wrong. Needless to say, just a few weeks after, that virus finally hit the country I’m currently living in as well as other neighboring countries. Most people started blaming the govt for not having clear prevention against the virus. Where in any part of the…

Five Things I Discovered in Life After College
I’ve been living in Jakarta for roughly six months. There’s no such thing as being grateful for what I’ve got so far. In a world where there’s no clarity but uncertainty, college graduates have to deal with more complex problems from what they used to experience. Some have to work their ass off to survive, but some are just lucky. Some have their life planned, but the rest is just following the stream. What about you? Well, I think I’m just short of a lucky guy who embraced emerging opportunities earlier. I used to be the one who planned everything, but some were to no avail. Whenever I wanted something,…
