Being An Adult

Where should i start? Hmm.. being an adult is many things, the one that really important is.. you have many responsibility now, and just not about your lives, about others too.

When i was a kid, i always think that being an adult will definitely be fun, you can do whatever you want, your parents will not have that many control over your lives, you can buy whatever you want cause u earn that money. Actually those things are true, but then your forgot others responsibility that come with that freedom.

You forgot that your family needs you.

You forgot that being an adult, your family depends on you more than ever. It's not just about finance, it's about how a house should be run. If you have younger siblings, then their behavior and study somewhat become your responsibility too.

Ah but ofc you got the fun thing too. i can run along and eat what i want with my friends, if they're not busy. Speaking of friends, growing up, you will learn that friend some and go as you lives. At one point, you can laugh to your heart content, go whenever you want.

Do remember, it's my perspective, because that's what i go through.

So i really wonder if everyone going through the same thing as me?

maybe i'm just not that grateful yet. I always feel life is hard for me, my family depended on me to much sometimes i feel tired. I love them, i really love them, but its not a life a I want for my children. I hope I can do better in the future for my kids.

So I don’t have any advice, every family have different problems. Maybe me mostly about finance, and how i feel i dont really enjoy my own life and my own money hehe.

Its not a bad thing, because when i see my family smiles, it’s really light me up. 

Cheers for all of us adult, try to be more grateful and see life positivity.

Making My Own Dalgona Coffee

Dalgona Coffee. have u ever heard of this coffee? i'm sure you have! it's so popular several months ago.

So, for everyone that didn't know, dalgona coffee is a milk coffee. it first began popular in korean, because dalgona in korean is sweet candy made from sugar and this coffee named dalgona coffee because it used sugar too. Does it makes sense? Actually this coffee made from equally sugar dan coffee, and then you beat that batter till it foamy.

So what you need to make this dalgona coffee?

it's pretty simple actually, you just need coffee without dregs, white sugar, milk (full cream is tastier, but you can use whatever), some ice and water ice.

For me, i use 1:1:1 dose, one spoon for coffee, sugar, and water ice. and then you beat it till it become creamy and become foam. It quite tiring tbh, beating the batter with spoon lol. i dont have a small electronic beater, if you have it, use it then, it will be easier.

After ur batter become creamy, till it color become light brown, you can stop beating, cause you know it's ready!!

Prepare some milk, pour the milk in a cup, add some ices and then add the dalgona batter. Your dalgona coffee is ready!

Tbh it looks cute, but the taste is so so. i just taste a commonly coffee milk after i stir it well. With times i spend beating the batter, i don't think it's worth it.

But, if you're curios, try it then! it's not hard to make and the taste is ok. Just so you know what's viral drink taste :))

Ah, 2020

Hallo….?

It’s been a long time since I write here. It feels nostalgic? Idk why I’m such a moodie when it came to write. It’s been a year since last time I wrote, my last post is about movie recommendation, at that time I still watched many movies and have something to cure my boredom. Rn, idk why do I do to get rid of this boredom.

Eh anw, I finally got new job, it’s almost 10 months since I work at my new company. First time I got this job, I feel so happy. Cause why? Cause I finally come home, to my hometown, to live with my family again. It feels exciting at first and Im happy I can be on my family lives again. It feels amazing to hug my mom and my brother again, to know whatever happened in their lives.

I’s fun, my co-workers is fine. But there’s something missing in my heart, I miss Jakarta with it busy life. All light that flashed. All food that I ate to my heart content. Ah, I really miss out capital central.

I have good news thou since I work at my hometown.

Now, I can ride motorcycle!! Lol, amazing right? Riding bike come as a need since I’m here, because I work shift time and there’s no public transportation that still run to my home at night, I got to have motorcycle. Ah, what else should I share.

Lives move pretty fast. I miss my friend, I miss my campus, I feel like adult life is so hard. Becoming adult, you have responsibility that you don’t even want lol.

Being with my friends, eat what I want to, playing around, it suddenly come at me, in the past, I always complain about that too. But then, people always have something to complain in their lives.

But you can’t be child forever, you can’t be teenager forever, sometimes you have to move forward in life. Become adults, even thou it feel hard, you can help your family too.

Ah, damn it’s hard to stay positive when you have so many thing you still wanna do but you have to choose between doing whatever you want to, or being a decent human being, a normal human being.

Anw how are u all in this pandemic situation? I hope you’re all doing fine, so do i. the one thing I’m scared the most with this pandemic is not about myself, but about my family. Since im the only one that go out from home because I have  to work, im worried im become a carrier. Im not worried about myself fall sick, I worried if I carry the illness and spread to my family at home. I just hope we always stay healthy, im always stay healthy and my co workers too so they didn’t carry any virus with them.

Let’s stay healthy everyone! Take care of your health. If you don’t feel the need to do it for yourself, do it for your family!

I hope we can meet again when the situation is more save.

Cheers for better live quality!

I Tried Pop Mie Pedes Dower 😱

Hello guys! Happy long weekend (for me anyway)!

Today is March 7th, 2019. It is a Nyepi Day in Indonesia. Im writing this nearing midnight, because in this time im all alone (my family gone to sleep already).

So im writing this on March 7th, but continue my story on March 8th lol. There is a reason why im postponing writing this, you will know why.

Yesterday, nearing midnight i tried Pop Mie Pedes Dower! I know I know, it has been launching for so long, but i just tried it, so what lol. Im just tried Pop Mie now because im scared. People say that it was really hot and spicy. So im not yet ready to try. But i have tried this Pop Mie from my friend, when she was eating at the office. Just a little bit thou, but i think 'oh its not bad, not that spicy'. From then on, i want to try this by myself, but i havent found the opportunity yet. Either its because i dont have time or the instant noodle cant be found in indomaret or alfamart (stores that i often visited). So i just 'hm, ok, i will try it when i have the opportunity'. And then the opportunity came.

Im going home for holiday and when i was shopping for home, i saw the noodle. So i thought why not! I bought one and bring it home.

I cant eat it at day, my mom is against me eating spicy food. I will be dead if she know the noodle that i ate was spicy lol. So i sneaking off and ate it at night!

 (Pop Mie Pedes Dower)

That is the front visual of Pop Mie Pedes Dower. The package is simple, like your usual Pop Mie, but with more red and cabai (?). Its look quite spicy to be honest. Im a bit scared to eat it at the time.

 (Inside of Pop Mie Pedes Dower)

When i first put the seasonings, the noodles looks a bit mild and there wasnt any spicy in the aroma at all. But when i put the oil (which look very much red), the noodles suddenly smell really spicy and the water became red. Wow, tbh, it look a bit intimidating.

When I ate the noodles, i thought 'oh its ok, not that spicy'. But the i ate and ate and ate and the spiciness finally kicked in. Not spicy that make you uncomfortable to eat the noodles again, the spicy is good. Its not make your hearing become numb. Its a spiciness that make your lips become quite thick and if you stop eating, it will become worse. But if you drink, the spiciness can quickly gone. I think their title is really good and match well with your eating result. It makes your lips 'dower' seriously dower. But again, the spiciness is good, i can still eat the noodles and felt 'oh this is tasty'. The soup is good too, just drink it slowly and you will be fine, you wont ever feel it is too spicy.

The minus point is, when i finished the soup. My stomach ache and hurt, not that bad but bad, i felt not well. I cant even move to fill my water because i felt like if i move, im gonna throw up. So i sit still for a few minutes until my stomach feeling well again.

It took a quick time actually, but still not a pleasure experience for me lol. So because that stomach ache im not up to write this story lol.

But if you ask me if i want to eat the noodle again, i will say yes. Its delicious with the right amount of spiciness for me. Maybe i will become more careful in the future about eating the soup lol.

See you in my next experience! (if im feeling up to it, i will share my experience making a dessert box!)

Cheers,

Series Recommendations! 🎥

Hi, happy Wednesday all!

So decided to post my own personal series. I usually dont like watching movie, so because i watched those series till the end, it means those series were interesting for me. We may have different style and taste thou, so i dont know if you find those series interesting too or not. Those were based on my style. But i hope you find those interesting too thou. Happy watching!

Btw i dont rank them okay. However interesting movie/series for me, i never watch them twice or trice or whatever. In my eyes, they all the same. And my personal opinion on the poster!

Let's get into it!


Game of Thrones

Supernatural

A-TEEN

The Gifted Series - Thailand

TEEN WOLF

MERLIN

13 Reasons Why

Sherlock Holmes

Thats it! That's my recommendation. It's great for weekend. Chilling at home watching movie.

Met my fav Idol!

When i created this post (without any text, yes, i know) im in a good mood. I mean i just got my mojo (writing loves or whatever, ps: mojo is 'supernatural' reference--yes, im watching this series right now) back. Now, i continue this post with bad mood.

The angkot iam riding now, its ngetem (you know what i mean right? Lol) ok, its over, im not in that mood.

Okay, its Feb 7th when i resume my story. Seriously, im so easily distracted lol.

So my fav idol from korean is Super Junior and Seventeen. My bias are Donghae&Eunhyuk from Super Junior and Hoshi&Woozi from Seventeen. When i was in highschool, i was super crazy about Suju. I had a dream to see them in real life, either its concert or whatever event they are coming. This dream was super hard to become real. Even when i was studying at IPB (which relatively near Jakarta if they come to Indonesia), I still couldn't come. Its either because i didnt have the money or i cant because of my study. I was saving at the time, but i felt like i can use my money for better use so i never come. Its my dream but is not my priority. It is the same way as Seventeen.

Although they aren't my priority, i still want to see them, even when i am losing interest at them as i grow up (kpop in general).

And then, the opportunity came. It was trans media birthday and they decided to invite SJ D&E. And because its their birthday, the ticket was free. So i thought, "Wow that is my bias! I have to come, see them once in my life." That time, i already work in Gojek so distance was not problem at all.

I didn't want to come alone, so i invited my friend, Sarah, who work in Jakarta, to come along. She agreed right away (she like SJ too when we were in highschool, although D&E weren't her biases, she willing to come--she said  the biggest reason she was willing to come was to accompany me, and im grateful for that).

(me and my friend at Transmedia Birthday, Dec 15th, 2018)

It decided then! On Dec 15th, we came to BSD City. I forgot the name of the place lol. When we arrived at noon, it was so crazily crowded. For me who dont like crowded place, it was bad lol.

We waited for about five hours till the event was started. There were other artists too on Transmedia Birthday event, mostly indonesian artist.

When we entered the venue it was like a death or life situation lol. The crowd kept pushing at each other. I was standing in front of a fence and the fence was falling because the crowd pressure lol. Im laughing right now, but when i remembered that time, it was pretty shocking. To cut you some slack, it was brutal when we entered the venue. So i wonder, if every concert was like that. The struggle to enter the venue is real.

I forgot what time they performed, but they performed energic-ly, super handsome too. TV seriously didnt give them justice.

(Super Junior D&E at Transmedia Birthday)

I really excited to see them. I mean, one of my dream finally came true! But then i realized that im really matured, i didnt that excited when they were far from me, I just got excited when they were near me.

But overall it was worth it. My energy and time. I enjoyed watching them.

That was it! Lol seriously i just good at complaining but explained something exciting its hard.

See you next adventure,

Bye!

Best regards,

Job hunting! 💃

Im in mood to write, so i will use it really well 😊

Okay, i graduated on Sept 19th, officially felt jobless since Sept end (when im done with my journal).

Guys, its really hard finding a job ㅠㅠ there were so many jobs, but its hard to be call for test, its so uncertain. It was like looking at ocean, we cant see the end, there are so many possibilities and uncertainty (okay okay fine, its not really correlation-able, but i dont have foto with job related--okay okay, wrong again, i have but its close up and too private, so a photo with me looking at ocean will do).

(me, looking at ocean)

There are so many jobs online application. But let me tell you, its not always works. Its hardly works for me, maybe because my major its too specific and not your usual major related job (it was applied meteorology), maybe because i dont have many experiences in internship or assistant lecturer, maybe because my organization is not that many, maybe because my volunteer section is not that many, maybe because my skill (its computer related, but my major use tools that  is not commonly used by most of the company). But i dont know what exactly they see when searching for talent. Like i said, its uncertain. Like lottery dont you think? Except i never played lottery (okay wrong again, when i was a primary school student, i played pick the wool, if we're lucky we got something from the end of the wool, if not, yeah, not. You know this game rite? I dont know what kids nowadays plays, but if you're my age you must be know. It was still a lottery, rite? Lol).

See? When i write, im not always focus on one topic, i talk everything that i want lol.

Okay, back to my job hunting experience. On october i began my job hunting, i felt like i am applying everywhere in jobstreet but not once im called. Luckily, on oct there was cpns selection. Cpns is, what we call in english? Government worker? Yeah something like that. So i applied and passed the administration. On 20-something, Oct, i came for test. The test for cpns is called CAT (googling it if you're curious, i forgot what is mean).

The test was so darn hard! It was frustrating for me lol. I passed the twk and tiu, but i failed tkp (googling again okay lol). I wasn't hoping then because i wasnt passing the passing grade (cause i failed tkp). It wasnt just me who failed. My friends were too. We gossiped about the test, saying that it was so hard and so on. Lol i wasnt happy nearly all my friend failed, but i was glad i wasnt the only one who failed lol (am i cruel? No right? Lol)

That was October. The happy news was, on the day that i failed cpns, my friend called me, offered a job, it was to be a freelancer at gojek. Because i was jobless and starting to be hopeless too from then on, i accepted her offer (thank you my friend who offered me a job ㅠㅠ your so kind). So i got a job because of my friend. Till i post this journal im still a freelancer at gojek (soon not to be).

My job consists about researching for business development. It was fun at first and i was so happy i got a job. But later on, it became tiring because; one, i have to go to jakarta everyday from bogor (okay, minus weekend, but i bet you already know that). Two, I feel like my salary not that worth it if im comparing it with the job desk. Hm, maybe iam not thankful enough, dont copy me lol.

So right now iam began my job hunting again, wish me luck! No no, wish all of us luck!

Cheers,

Anis.
