#22: About Today

Day 22 of 30 days writing challenge

About Today

It has been a tiring day. No, not really physically exhausting, most probably psychologically. Yet, these past few days I've been a bit under the weather. Two days ago it's like I'm all drained out and had so little (if none) energy left. 


Well, as for today, the whole country ran havoc
since our parliament approved an omnibus law which triggered so many people due to its contents. The bill consists of 905 pages (that's actually super thick) which pretty much talks about every aspect investment and workforce/labour related.

Might not be a good idea to talk about this anyway. I don't have the energy to talk about politics right now, and also seems like it's not really a privilege for some people to discuss this openly *wink. I just hope things will settled and minimum (if not none) damage should occur. 

Continues on....

Maybe it's a better idea to talk about how people feel during these lockdown. Well it's been like months since the pandemic took place in our country (it was around March/April 2020) and actually there was never really any lockdown happening. But we have like partial lockdown (we called it PSBB). During first months of the quarantine, I was super paranoid, didn't even go out for two whole months. I wasn't really an outdoor person much, but I don't mind going out every once in a while. Even so, I still feel depressed for not being able to normally be outside. 

We were (or still(?)) confined in a 33-square-metres apartment, three of us: me, my spouse, and my cat Miko. Finally I can experience what Miko felt everyday. Lol (though Miko is always an indoor cat, still). It was bizzare as you can't really know how to feel and do with this unprecedented feelings when people caught up in small spaces for a long period of time. 

I can't imagine how it was for people with small children and a cramped living space. This whole CoVid-19 drama is getting tiring. No, I'm not blaming anyone, it's just at some point you're just too tired of anything, let alone you're actually under pressure for doing your task while you're in a constant paranoia. 

Some people bashed you behind your back just because you got nerve to stick up for yourself to not going anywhere during these crazy times. If they can't say no, it's not my fault. I'm still doing my job online, quite a decent job (yet with flaws here and there, I'm sorry. And I did everything in a super slow mode) if I might say so in a narcissistic way, and might not getting paid (I've heard that they won't pay me if I do my job online regardless it's being done or not) or will be working pro-bono. I don't really care about those people, but they kept getting in my
nerves. Just yesterday, I was agitated so much I actually talk back to that a**hole. I don't know what his problem, I don't really care. I'm just doing my job, again without any endorsement. Things they might never do. 

People getting edgy easily nowadays and too many things happening at this moment. 

I just want to skip this year, it's getting too much. And today I'm really at my wit's end and tomorrow I've got to go submitting some measly document just because some people think it's a splendid idea to get people out and about during plague season. Lol. We don't even have a work schedule yet. It's so amazing how some people don't even have any courage to face this while the rest just ignore anything as if nothing really happened. The level of absurdity is skyrocketing I can't even tell which is which anymore. 😌

Okay, that's for today.

Ikhtiar

Ingin sekedar berbagi cerita tentang perjalanan hidup sampai mendapatkan yang dinanti-nanti.  Alhamdulillah dua tahun slowdown karena pandemi membawa berkah. Setahun setelah menikah, kami dianugerahi seorang putri yang sangat kami sayangi. Perjalanan  mendapatkannya bisa dibilang tidak mudah. Akumulasi semua pengalaman sebelumnya, banyak rintangan yang dihadapi. Namun syukurlah Allah memberikan amanah kepada kami sekeluarga.  Berkah Habatussaudah Ternyata hadits Rasulullah tentang keutamaan Habatussaudah atau jinten hitam sebagai obat segala penyakit* benar adanya. Jinten hitam ini adalah faktor pembeda utama, selain suami yang sangat sabar dan waktu di rumah yang lebih panjang karena work from home (wfh) . Setelah menikah dengan suami yang penyabar ini, saya disarankan oleh adik saya untuk berikhtiar dengan cara mengkonsumsi 7 (tujuh) butir Habatussaudah/jinten hitam yang sudah disangrai dan madu setiap hari. Cukup tujuh butir, tidak perlu banyak-banyak karena Habatuss...

Mama Drama (yang tercinta)

Selain MLM dan rokok, ada satu hal lagi yang saya bener-bener ga tahan: Mama Drama.  ------- (Warning: postingan ini bikin emak-emak hardchore kejang-kejang. Use it wisely. 😂  Move along at your own risk. ) ------- Semua ibu-ibu baru ini (seumuran sama saya) kelakuannya sangat tipikal di media sosial macam facebook dan path. Terlalu banyak membagi informasi mengenai anak-anaknya dan sangat sangat sangat emosional jika diingatkan ( mama bear will bite you to death! ). Saya sampai pada satu titik dimana saya sangat yakin bahwa mungkin dulu saya tidak benar-benar berteman dengan mereka, karena jelas sekali saya di luar lingkaran mereka (dari segi bahasa, kehidupan, dan persepsi) (Semua ilustrasi saya hapus karena yang punya drama emosi..) Panggilan tipikal: si anu mamanya anu Yang bikin saya paling sadar kalo saya bukan temannya lagi itu adalah saat saya lihat statusnya dan komen-komen di statusnya, semua orang adalah mama/papa/ayah/bunda/kakek/nenek dari nama si...

The Revelation of the Infamous Hags

Well, well, well. What d'you know? At first you were their friends, but right there at the moment they don't need you anymore or despise you with hatred and envy you with all their might--you just turn into the object of their cruelty! Disguise in their keen elegance, never did they actually revealed their truer form infront of promising 'customers'. They even can agitate people into hating each other--and some people really take it personally and even put grudge to people they don't even know! Sick isn't it? Well, they DO dressed nice, covering all that evil devilish thoughts behind their artificial skins. But once you see them, they're nothing but ol' malicious hags, lurking around for prey. Their smiles aren't genuine. Their acts always for the sake of themselves and themselves only--whether to bossing around, getting ETERNAL youth (?), or just bullying others that potentially harmful for their mighty being. I wonder why some people still can'...
