2015: The first thing I wanted to be real (it is not a dream!)

There are things we want to achieve or simply have. It is also apply to me. For about three years of studying in the Uni, I feel like I have not achieve anything which have a big impact to my life as a person. 

Okay, honestly I have one achievement in the beginning of the year, graduating from the Uni. It is an achievement after all, right? I don't know why, but I want to find myself this year. I want to experience things I haven't experience before and getting to know my self better. Last month, I celebrate my birthday, again, and every year I feel like I am getting older but not getting wiser. :p And I know God always hear what I feel inside, then I saw a post from the International Relations Office (IRO) about one particular exchange program. I applied for my Uni cooperation program with Universitat Jaume I for a semester study in Castellon de la plana, Spain. It was my first time joining such program offer by my campus, and I am so thrilled and excited to know the result. On May 28th, the email came! It was such a happy news! I GOT IN!

I know that it will be different experience, not just exciting but also challenging. Imagine, being away from your home town, even your country, to the place you havent seen in real life before. Studying in Jogja is not the same with studying in Europe. Since I was a little girl, my family would spent days here during holiday, went to Malioboro, visited our relatives, even I have visited Borobudur and Prambanan many times. While, on the other hand, I haven't go abroad before even though I have passport from five years ago (laugh). This program will take me to SPAIN! God! It is about 12, 000 kilometers away from Indonesia. Long way to go, huh?

I did this by myself - over excited mode! Hahaha

So, overall I am blessed and happy to get this opportunity. I am able to understand more how God love me by giving this chance. Alhamdulillah. :) It will be fab but a lot of things need to be prepare, from the documents, packing with one big suitcase, and last but not least myself. I should prepare my self, mind and body. The temperature will be different, there are four seasons while here only two, my body should be healthy enough to face the quite extreme (I guess) climate, even though Castellon de la Plana located near the coast, but better prepare than freeze by cold, right? The most important thing I need to prepare would  be my mindset, the different culture and environment (we talking about western and eastern culture here) would push me to my edge, and I should prepare to adapt and accept the differences. I have read from an article about study abroad, the writer said:

we should be half-empty when we study abroad

It means that we have to be able to learn new things while we study abroad, the half empty part of our self should be fill with new knowledge, experience, and understandings. But, we should not go full-empty, we have something to share also to our new friends there, how our culture is and showing them that even though we have differences, we also have similarities, we are all human, and no human is perfect. I know for sure that this will be an experience I will remember all my life. :)

Gonna do a lot of drawing like this when I get there, hopefully :)

Thanks for reading my blog guys, I wish I could update this blog more often from this day on. Have a great Monday tomorrow!

Love,

2015!

It has been a very long time since I post something to my blog. 2015 already!

God! Time flies, a lot of things need to post in order to catch up about my life.

So, it is 2015. I already graduated from my study in undergraduate degree in international relations major, right on February 14, 2015, yes, right on valentines day.

Already got a title behind my name, duh.

It was a blessed that I can complete my study this year and have my mother and sister came to see me in my toga. Yeay! But the journey does not end in the graduation, it is started right after. It was such a great day to have all my good friends come and support me, bouquet and chocolate they gave are only small things compare to their affection and care. Good luck for you guys, I will be there see you guys in your toga  ;) Right after the graduation, I head back home for two weeks of graduation holiday. What a wonderful gift that God has granted me in the beginning of this year. Alhamdulillah.

That is all I have to say to started this blog again.

Love,

M

Nighty Night My Thesis

I've been working on my final paper for the undergraduate degree. It is ashamed that I haven't post anything on this blog for a quite long time since the beginning of the year.

Get stuck and have no idea left to write for my chapter I. And here I am writing a random grumbling on my long time boyfriend (read: blog). ��

Hopefully I could writing again soon.

There's a lot of things happen in my life lately.

See you peeps.

Night,
❤

Where have you been?

Where have you been?

Nowhere?

Yes! I have been nowhere lately. Haven't write in this blog since my last post in the beginning of this year. What I have missed? A lot.

So, maybe I may begin with,

The most important things in this semester -> KKN (what you have to do if you want to write your final paper in order to get your undergraduate degree here in Indonesia, it means "kind-of" making a contribution to the society, you will put in group and have a project in certain village) and I have this program in this semester. :'D

Next thing is that, R is busy with his creative process, preparing for his performance test in the end of this semester. He will have a monologue and body talk. He is doing his best. May his effort results in good performance. *cross my finger.

And, good news is I have joined a Garage Sale with May in the mid-April. It is quite a new experience for me actually. And it is not that bad as I thought. Hahaha. I never join any kind of event since I enter university. :p

It is a good beginning to start writing! :D

2014: Premiere Post of the Year

Happy New Year 2014 WORLD! 

2013 already passed and let's rock this year!

*I know it's too late, but that's alright :p

So many stories from last year. Happy tears, joy, and laugh. Sad moments, cries, and tears.

I turned 20, my oldest sister married, I had bad situation (only God and I knows exactly how I feel :( ), I had a moment when I stucked with my study and university life (I'm bored!), finally have a courage to join a competition, addicted to crafty things, figured out that I might have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), I can't mention it one by one. Terrific year!

No one would wish for a bad year, right? So do I!. My goals this year is not that different from years before. But, the new and sophisticated one is "Gaining Weight". Many of my friends (even all of them) said that I am too skinny. And I knew it! I feel bad and weird being too skinny. I want WEIGHT! Not too much, 15 kilos is perfect number for me. :p It doesn't mean that I'm not glad for what have been given to me. Too skinny is not healthy (it's a rhyme!) I stocked food and milk to start my mission. Hope it will works. That's all in my premiere post for 2014. May the world become better this year. :)

xoxo,
