Nu year resolution?

I got this from one of those columns in Yahoo! website. Interesting. The real article is about "5 Principles for Happiness" or sumtin like that. But I was captured by these question. Katanya sih bisa bikin lo instrospeksi diri tentang hidup lo selama ini (in this case, one year behind).

  • What makes you happy at work?
Cozy ambiance, relaxing music, passionate co-workers, fast connection internet, and me enjoying my work...
  • What makes you happy at home?
Home? What's that? =P Well, since I live on my own, I would prefer a santai-malasMalasan-tidurMulu-beresinKamar-bacaAllDayLong kind of situation in there... Yup, that's what 'home' are for...
  • What makes you happy with your friends and family?
The feeling that I belong to them...
  • What makes you happy when you're by yourself?
Ahahaha, I love to travel alone, go to the theaters alone, write things and solve it in my head (alone). I had this stupid behaviour - talking to myself - which I did for the sake of keeping my English being maintained =P That's the top notch of my happiness when I'm by myself.
  • What do you love to do?
Seeing this question really remind me of my 2Do List Before I Die, don't you think? =D Sekarang, yang paling pengen gue lakuin adalah keluar dari Jakarta. Either menikmati pelayaran 3 hari 2 malam ke Medan sendirian (seperti yang dulu udah pernah gue lakukan) atau ke Malaysia with couple of friends. About the cruise, I'm planning to do it differently. Maybe talking with some strangers. Sleep in a business compartment (instead of economic class yang tempat tidurnya looked like ikan-pepes-dijejerin). Taking pictures with the dolphin (or shark?). And try the best I can... not to drawn.
  • What would you do with your life today if you weren't afraid of failure?
Taking a chance and step onto the bloody interview again. Gue aga dendam juga gara-gara yang waktu itu gagal. Bleh!
  • What's not working in your life?
Love life? Bwuehauehuaheuahuehauheuahua....
  • What are you currently doing that prevents you from experiencing joy?
Stuck in daily job and financial problem. You know, the idea of saving-for-the-future? Ideally I shoulda done that. Hahahaha. But kenyataannya, I'm a big spender x( Damn it!
  • What's working in your life?
My editor job. Berhubung itu kerjaan yang menarik minat gue dari semenjak gue kelas VI SD.
  • Who's not working in your life?
My family here in Jakarta... and I mean, both side...
  • Who in your life is subtracting value from and adding misery to it?
Now, now.. that's a secret...
  • Can you fix any of these relationships, or should you let them go from your life?
Ahahahaha, I can.. but the real question is.. Do I want to?
  • What relationships are working in your life?
Mostly my friendship relationship (it rhymes!) =P
  • If we were getting together one year from today, what would have to happen for you to be able to tell me that you now have more joy in your life?
Ah, one year from now? I would've taken my Master Degree.. or maybe are doing it at that time. I'm doing a job which I enjoy, and perhaps taking a huge step to maintain a healthy relationship. All in all, I want to (and have to) improve myself. Say, having more pedicure session? =P
  • What's the single most important thing you've learned about yourself as a result of answering these questions?
He-he, I can see that I'm not that well prepared about my future, I live my life as simple as I could. I try to enjoy every bit of it. And by the way, I tend to put myself in such an opposite side. I have no idea why. It really drawn me into trouble, but I can't stop it =P

Haaa.... welcome 2007! Try to enjoy everything you did in making a better -my-

A couple of months ago (seemed seriously like YEARS ago), I was involved in an engagement, nope, not the one prior to any wedding ( I wishhhh! ), but a project engagement. The time period was typically short, one month and extended into another month. But hell if that was the first time (in a really long time) I felt like jumping out of my 35th floor office cubicle.. not to the ground, mind you, but rather jumping into an embrace of a gentleman ( halahhh ). Yeah, anyway, in this so called time-period of the project, semangat nasionalisme gw sangat membara dan I ended up staying at office real late, mostly at 11 PM, but it is not rare that I went home nearing dawn ( okeh, lebay ). It's all up to my wallet situation, really. When me having no shit, I insisted to go home at 11 PM since it was the last train to catch up. Standard conversation with the cab driver Supir: Malem, Mba. Mau dianter ke mana? Gw: Malem, Pak. Ke stasiun Sudirman ya. Supir: Loh? Malem-malem gini masih ada

I missed traveling bad. It's been 1.5 years without traveling and sightseeing to new places I've never been to. My furthest spot was Bandung and even that brought so many nostalgic feelings, like when I attended work-related meetings, or when my team had a short getaway trip, or my past dating venues. Sigh. I wish this blasted pandemic get over soon, and everyone treat Covid19 as meh as any other influenza variants. Just rest in bed, drink Vitamin C, pop some pills and you'll be alright. No ICU, no breathing trouble, no damaging internal organs. I mean, who knew right? Who knew we can go to Banks or supermarket wearing any type of masks and not get arrested or even eyed suspiciously.  I have some progress over life, well, not sure if I can really call it a progress. I have been dating my SO for quite a while, had some turbulences, undergoing some 'oh-i-didn't-know-that' moments, doing that marry-or-not-to-marry type of dance, had some fights, major apologies and

There are always those little bit of moments that reminded us that life is sweet. Like a couple of days ago, colleague of mine asked about some Sentinel stuff, and someone responded swiftly because he just went through the exact same thing. When I teased him about it, since he ended up not going with the client he's checking the Sentinel with, he said, "This is why I believe everything in life happens for a reason." It made me stopped, and smile, and felt that little reminder that yeah life mysteriously works that way.  Yesterday, I watched a movie called All The Bright Places, starred Elle Fanning. I watched her YT video on Variety channel -Actor on Actor- with Jenna Ortega and I was impressed by how she carries herself throughout the talk, so young yet so mature. Jenna Ortega also did the same, with more vulnerable emotions displayed and I can totally feel her. But "Wednesday" is already my favorite Netflix series, so I've seen Jenna. But Elle Fanning? Hav
