#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.

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...
