Autumn has comin' to town!



My very first autumn! Never felt four-season before...and here I am experiencing it for the very first time! and I'm about 12,000 km away from home... Really miss home. But it's not that long, only a year, and maybe someday i'll be missing this place and (maybe) the people... and this is actually what i've been dreaming of since I was a child. I even can say, this is my dream-land. (But sometimes dreams weren't as REAL as reality). And perhaps the place I cursed now would be the place that I'll definitely called "paradise" (?) in imperfect world of mine.




atleast my dream just came true! i was in liverpool! finally!!



And I just knew that they have this winter time period (as British Summer Time ends) on October 30, they set back the time one hour. Not only the British set the point zero of the world's time, they also can set back time! Amazing. So, each year on October 30 they have 25 hours on a day... but on latter time on March, as the BST started again, they will only have 23 hours on that day.. Kinda peculiar, just as peculiar as the weather here--changed every minute, literally! And maybe that's why the Brits really hold this strange-gloomy aura... And some even not being very welcome to foreigner. But maybe it's just my thought....Or maybe it's just my outfit...I dunno. Hmmm...

Other things I experienced here are: I met some nice people (most of 'em are Asians, the nicest is a Philipino ^ ^) and I also lost some people I (at the beginning) thought that I can rely on to. Yeah, you can never tell which ones are your truest companion--not without a test. And maybe a test of living in a strange place and not really fulfilled mutual expectations lead me to different paths with those people. Such a shame, remembering maybe at some point (when I come back home) I'll be working on the same organization as they, but not particularly the same team. It's not good when you know you from the same place, even a same institution but you don't grow quite well to each other, and even drawn further apart. And it's not just my imagination, it's actually happening. And unlike the British, I really can't turn back time, especially to when things were ok.

How to Ghibli?

That time of the year, again. Why can't life be more like Ghibli's aesthetics? It has been a while for me to be in my 30s, and soon I will be turning 40. What will one expect when one turns into a 40-year-old woman?  Why can't life be like Ghibli's slice of life feature films? Why can't we find ideal love like in those movies? 3 years ago today I still can't imagine that I finally found out that my (back then) spouse was a serial cheater, a swinger, and an avid liar. My whole life was crumbled, and my mind went crazy, like literally mad (will tell this someday when I'm ready). And briefly after that, I met a random guy, got married again in such a short time, and have a baby not long after. Back then, no one really cares about how I feel inside, my messed up mind is still there up until now. So, what to do?

#11: Siblings

 Day 11 of 30 days writing challenge. Siblings You either love 'em unconditionally or hate them occasionally . They share the same blood as you, they're your first friends. And it's not uncommon that you spent your days fighting and quarrelling with them at day and get along again at night. Your parents still mad at you but you already reconciliate with them. A brother and a sister As a middle child, I always stuck in between. My brother and my sister both have strong personalities. When they're fighting it's like a fierceful battle between Dragon Slaying Sabre VS Heavenly Sword --minus maybe they're both a bit antagonistic , none really chivalry. Brother My big bro is an amazing abstract learner. Why I said "abstract"? It's because he never did enjoy the typical learning practices in formal education. But when we're younger, different methods weren't there for children with superb or different qualities. Anyways, he's an avid lear...

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...
