Our Definition for HOME.

My friends and I were talking about changes that happened in our life in this past year (yes, i mean 2020). With all that happened around us, specially during quarantine period, where we have to stay at our room all day everyday.

It came to the moment to She asked me, "how can you survive quarantine in Jakarta? I could not handle it,  that's why i sped up my move back to home."

To that question my only answer was because i'm comfortable enough with my self, anywhere.. Quarantine for me is 70% blessing, 30% torture (coz i miss traveling duh lol)..

"I guess the city is never a home for me", she continued..

I forget what i told her after that, but her words baffles me till now. It makes me think, We practically grew up here, since college and work for almost 5 years here, how could this place is not a home for her? 

Because it is home for me, i guess.. Well, this city really is a city for an ambitious dreamer like me, it offers me hope, story, a place i can make a meaning for my self.. I still.. I don't know how to continue..

May be as i grow older wiser, i can complete this thought.

Let's end it here. See ya..

Heyy, i'd like to share my experience last night, attended a recitation by Ust. Nouman Ali Khan, a well-known ustadz from USA. It actually started around a month ago, when one of my colleague at work, Mas Emir told Teh Icha, Mas Made and I that there will be recitation by Ust. Nouman Ali Khan in Jakarta. Being familiar with the name, i google-d him up and found that I at least have watched one of his videos in Youtube. Realising that this is a rare opportunity of him visiting Indonesia, I decided to commit to attend the event, where it will be held really close which is in Balai Kartini. Of course I am not ready if have to go by myself, if you know me my friend, you will understand hehe.. Well to put it frankly, i am not a very religious person, and neither in the process to be one. 😅 And so I also asked my friends directly that afternoon, Cendekia girls, to join. Hartek and Chu said yes almost instantly, so we decided to booked the ticket immediately. If you read the sent

As the title goes, i would like to share a review of new movie which is none other than Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them! Before you reading the rest of this post, please note that it might have some serious spoilers. So if you haven't watched the movie, and don't want any spoilers, come back after you watch it okaay :) First of all, i would like to share some insights of my Muggle born "friends" have about this movie. They thought that, this movie in particular is not satisfying enough. They argue that the story line is not good, so nothing special with it to be considered as high quality movie, and of course they believed that this movie is overrated! Hmmmm... Well, actually i'm FINE with all comments like that, you know.. It's a democratic country, that every person has the same right to give and express their opinion. And I totally UNDERSTAND that every people has their own taste, their own preferance. Even though I am a little bit hurt by

 She asked me,  "How did you move on? It's really hard for me. And it really hurts". I gather my thought for a while, letting some 8 years-flashbacks running thru my head, and exhale , "I once did everything in my power to save myself from drowning unnecessarily. Will you do the same, to save yours?". I believe that it's not running away, that it's merely the act of changing priority on loving and caring my self more. And I'm not looking back.
