Inspirations everywhere.

More than a week without updates. Busy, busy...

The title this time is taken from my tweet a while ago when I was watching MasterChef Indonesia Season 3. I remember watching MasterChef US with a participant being blind, and she was as awesome as any other normal participants -- if not better. That was something amazing. This time I saw one of our participants being someone deaf. I thought, in cooking you need sight more than hearing, but then if he couldn't hear the instructions or not knowing when the bell ended as a sign or when he couldn't hear the voice of something boiled as you cooked it... It sure is hard. So thumbs up for both of them. So much inspiration.

Life has been busy but slightly fun, I guess. Finished with the national biology competition yesterday. Not too tired since I didn't really do much, but I enjoyed it. After all it's the last chance to enjoy the competition as official committee members; next year I'd just be a visitor who decided to help.

Today I had my first TV shooting, whee! So my church was invited to join in a Catholic discussion program on TV. A choir group was selected, and I was asked to help to play the music. We recorded the sound last week, today we recorded the people involved, haha. It was my first time being recorded for playing instrument too, not singing. Just minor make-ups and our usual clothes. Looking forward for the result!

My tablet returns to life! After letting it die for a while, I pressed the power button for few seconds and it rebooted. I was sooo happy.

And ultimately exams are coming. What have I done? I know you can guess. Seventeen lectures materials to review for the exam, and not to mention that those were superficial so I need to read textbooks too...

Life is so cool.

When sleeping is never enough.

I sleep a lot lately, really. :O

School works are piling, as usual. And exams coming next week. And I'm still doing nothing. And that thing to worry about choir group too. Let's just see how I can be alive through all these things.

I even planned on going to Eru's concert this Saturday. Eru is a male Korean singer I have just heard few days ago. So why do I want to go to his concert? Because Ailee is there! Ailee is one of my favorite female Korean singers because she's just rockin' awesome. Free ticket too, thanks to my friend, lol. So I hope I can go, since Mom also worried about me going in concert at evening and rather late too. Understandable, really. If I were her I'd be worried too. But well, I still want to go...

And things with scan group keeps on going although it's super slow. Not gonna complain.

99RadioService is going to release a new album! So happy, they are just a bunch of awesome people. Can't ask for more. I said congratulations and good luck through Twitter, and got a reply back. My day has never been more amazing, lol!

.... Good night. Don't wanna be late for tomorrow's class, lol.

Hard to live without internet, lol~

This weekend is rather gloomy. I didn't return to grandma's place because I wanted to enjoy sleeping at boarding house to the best, but I spent Saturday morning on an activity for my organization and the Sunday morning for church. And wi-fi here died, so I had to resort to using modem. This is the third day the wi-fi died, and with it all the drama and anime series I was supposed to catch up with this weekend. :|

I'm trying not to be too dependent on technology, but still, lol. This topic was also mentioned at the retreat last time. Humans have been too dependent for their lives and become slaves to technology. In a sense it is true, but how helpful and how basic these things have become in our lives is just that undeniable. At least I can still do my academic tasks well with this modem. But this slow speed is killing me. T_T

Oh, well, I suppose this is a sign for me to study since exam is coming closer. So I'll study now and get ready for big payment soon after!

雨でした。 大好きだよ~

I always like it when rain poured down hard when I'm at home. Makes you feel alone but refreshed.

My Japanese is stalled. After finishing the first book a while ago, I haven't had the chance to continue the second book. Well, I think I did have, but I spent it to watch anime or drama and read manga. The rest was taken by assignments and sleeping. I really need to get some time out, especially if I want to be ready to go to Japan whenever there is a chance to! <3

And recently I'm back to the scanlation world. Guess I'm a bit bored so I joined one small group with relaxed deadline, and now attempting to revive my old, dead scanlation group as well. Things are moving very slowly but as long as there's some work going on behind, I'm happy. Let's see how far we can go to.

Other than that I'm waiting for results of previous exams and some kind of screening exam for a group competition. I have no high hope but we'll see, haha~

Now let's think about how to survive tomorrow's exam. \o/

The Comeback

It has been a while since I posted any update in this journal. Caught up in life, and just... too lazy. <3 But as payback, here I'll share the summary of previous months.

February 2013 ~ The big thing was me turning 20. Feeling so old, yeah. First few days of February was spent lazily at home, enjoying what was probably my last holiday for the next a year and half, or so my friends said. So I was at home with parents and sister, visiting this and that place, doing this and that, until I had to resume school. Classes were fine, got its boring moment, but I managed to got through it rather safely. Can't remember anything so special happening in February. Don't ask me of Valentine's Day, lol.

March 2013 ~ Happy Easter! March was closed with a lovely Easter celebration here, even though I was tired because of it. Preparations of events, usual university stuffs, me getting lazy, me and my addiction to drama and anime, finishing Winter's anime, and waiting patiently for the new Spring titles. Noticed how my friends were fighting, getting pissed off at some things, got into fangirl mode on for music and drama, and found peace between all those hectic moments. I'm glad March went through safely, too.

Now... Happy April's Fools day! Nothing bad happened today, thank goodness. Instead I'm preparing for exam right away, and a retreat for Catholic students at the end of this week. Busy as hell. But somehow enjoying it. With all the laziness included. And waiting patiently for Seung Gi-oppa new sageuk drama which will start airing in mid-April.

Life can't get any better.

Lots of fight in first week of new year.

Yeah, probably because I was too lazy or something, LOL~

A week has passed in the new year. I failed my last test so I need to did it again, cutting my holiday a bit. Oh, well, punishment accepted. I think I studied not bad, but I did so while watching a K-drama titled "Faith". That's probably why, ahaha~ The drama wasn't too bad, though.

The exam is due on Wednesday. I better do well this time so I can go on vacation with a free heart and mind. It's my last vacation anyway.

Because 'the end' is 'the beginning of something new'.

I survived the world's doomsday. God loves me! /sarcasm

Anyway, been more than a month since my last post here. Very sporadic, eh? Here I was, promising to try hard to write regularly, but eventually it fell behind. Life's been busy, and the time I had used to stay online were channeled to games or anime or sleeping. Sounded like.. frustrated? Perhaps, a bit.

This year's Christmas and New Year is the first I celebrate without my core family. I'm stuck here because my semester is yet to end, but parents and sister are already at hometown. Around a week more I'll be free, but there's still a lot to go through to reach that point. Exams, mainly. On January 2nd, 2013. Look at the date, LOOK AT IT.

Honestly saying I wanted to celebrate New Year at a friend's house. But thanks to this annoying responsibility of having to go and see relatives on those days, I'll return to grandma's place soon enough. And studying there. And make a fool of myself for not being able to talk and have fun like others have. Because I barely talk to them, or maybe don't really know all these relatives that well.

I guess I'm just tired with life.

I'll probably write a bit more since I'm so bored and lazy. But two exams are around the corner as well, so...

P.S.: Belated Merry Christmas 2012!

Where I (should) stand...

I don't know myself. This is one of probably the low moments of my life, when everything around me sucks, when I suck myself, and totally have no motivation of moving forward.

Mock exam tomorrow. I have just started to read things around 2 hours ago. Amazing.

I enjoy sleeping even more lately. Problems just go away when I do, so it makes me very happy. Aside from that music helps me to survive.

What's wrong with me... So without life lately. Spending hours working on unnecessary things and watching anime. I mean, hey, I'm already on my third year, soon to be assistant of those doctors. But I'm not prepared at all.

My choir club was planning some kind of workshop for the members tomorrow. Unfortunately I received news yesterday that there will be events all students must participate in. When we had already contacted the speakers and the members about the day. And there's also this singing event on Wednesday. How are we going to practice? Oh, my.

What have I been doing...

I really need the holiday this weekend (again) to clean my head and focus. FOCUS!

What makes me whole?

Music. Food. Family. Friends. And honorable mention to my busy academic and non-academic schedules and assignments. Really, even though they all could be annoying at times, they make me into who I am today.

Today I kind of wanted to write something again, after a long absence. Tomorrow is exam. What, reliving stress, you say? Probably. :P

Nothing much up with my life but the usual routine. Works and assignments are all around the air, but I'm fighting to give some time to go to MangaHelpers, to listen and hunt music, to watch anime, to read manga I've been following, to play, and last but not least to sleep. Sometimes the balance is off, but such is life.

This weekend, November 3rd-4th 2012, Lee Seung Gi -- one of my favorite Korean actors -- came for a fan meeting in Indonesia. I couldn't express how much I wish I could go but the ticket was rather expensive and exam was coming. I must be satisfied with photos and news only. It seemed so cool. Seung Gi is known as a warm, open, and friendly celebrity, loving his fans a lot. Come again to Indonesia, Seung Gi-oppa. Or I'll visit Korea and see you one day. <3

My love with anime is blossoming as usual. I have many series to check, but at this moment decided to stick with those currently airing ones only. Now downloading and watching Kara no Kyoukai when I can, though. It seems to be quite an interesting series, although the first episode was rather... heavy.

I'll try to remember to write some reviews of anime and drama I watched recently, like I did with Mirai Nikki and King2Hearts previously. It was rather fun.

For now, off I go to gather my good luck for tomorrow's exam. Until then! o/

Spending too much time thinking doesn't turn you into a thinker, you know?

*laughs at her own post title*

Well, yeah. Hello, world. Exam is over doesn't necessarily mean thinking is over. o/

Lots to come in this week and next week. First and foremost is about my thesis. So after entering a stagnant phase for almost a year, we finally got things rolling up again. As much as we talked about speeding things up, after consulting with our teacher, we were asked to finish four chapters by next week. Very sweet. I had done one chapter so three more to go for the rest of the week. Problem is, this Sunday there is also an event to celebrate World Heart Day by my organization. And we have quite some problems so gonna run around and round like crazy these days.

Obviously, not to mention that I'm trying to use up the rest of my time with anime as much as possible, and sleeping.

I managed to survive somehow, so let's hope for the best in upcoming days. <3

Coping up with life.

It has been such a long time since made a post here. Around three months, eh? Very cool.

I have been busy with university. That, and my motivation in keep writing for this journal kind of died out. Not sure if I'll ever get to that mood again but we'll see. As for now I have just managed to survive through two weeks of hell, and soon in few more days it will return I guess. Such is life. So many complications and troubles, trying to sort things out one by one, but it doesn't always work, gosh. I'll just do my best.

See you around soon.

Gone with the wind?

Kind of. ^^;

I haven't been updating this blog in ages. I just didn't have anything I think worth sharing here... I was also tired from school, so many things to do. With exams coming and many things to read so I didn't really have much time playing around as usual. It has been quite a pressure, so yeah... There is an exam tomorrow, and two next week, so I'm beaten up so badly, haha~

Things with 'that person' went more or less fine. I didn't think we would ever return to the way we were before. It went okay, but something is always missing... Or maybe I'm looking to the past way too much.

Aside from that... nothing much.

...I'll try to write more.

Second of June.

June is already here. In fact, we have already reached the second of June of 2012. The year of end of the world. :P Bottom line is, time flies, right? It feels as if we have just celebrated New Year few days ago, now we are already halfway through this year. So scary.

So many things have happened lately. Quite a lot of stress from school, with so many things to read and work on. Especially now that rather silent weeks have passed and we once again enter the weeks of battle with exams. My online activity thus have been reduced quite a bit, and it will decrease even more in upcoming weeks, until around three weeks from now when current class end and new one starts. Mom and my sister returned to hometown few days ago, leaving me alone here. And I can only go home on late August. Such a long way to go.

I suppose I can say I am kind of stressed with another thing as well.

I just don't understand why. I suppose if we talk directly, I will finally find out... Yet I feel there is no urge to do so since the other party totally shows no interest at all in talking with me about anything. That is rather discouraging, hence I decided to back off slowly and eventually cut off the connection. Not that I am angry or anything... I just don't understand why, and I react to what I see in front of me. Who wants to live in discomfort anyway, right? If I am not needed, if it makes me feel discomfort, I may as well stand back and live my life alone. No offense at all.

Perhaps it sounds like I am disappointed? I guess so. Deep inside since we have been together for a while, we can sort things out properly, but turns out I was wrong. I had faith... and in one way or another I was 'betrayed'. Sometimes I think if I have done something wrong, something I am unaware of.

So when I was told that we were going to talk... I'm just curious now.

Enough with the gloomy post.

The coming of June also marks something else in my life, actually, something more positive and lovely. It marks six month of something special, which I didn't think would last this long actually. It started of as something fun, and eventually we enjoyed it. I can't wait to see where we will go to after this. <3

Staying positive is so hard to do, but I will do my best!


P.S.: I hope you like the secrecy! :DD

Between life and death!

As the title said. That is the reason for my lack of post for almost a month. :P

Not really, I guess...?

Last time I posted an entry here, it was after the first exam of last module, if I remember correctly. After that I went into crazy mode of studying. I tried to use my time as effective and efficient as possible, I tried to keep myself sane through all the crazy schedules... It ended up well, the exams week finished and I didn't have to redo anything. Still I had an exam to re-take last week, and I went back to studying. Not that I didn't have time at all to write, but I was getting lazy online, only playing games and downloading or watching K-drama, and chatting. Nothing much. Until today, which marks the beginning of a new class, I think it is a good time to restart everything again.

After taking a break and breathe free for around a week -- or few days cut by studying from that re-take exam -- I feel slightly more refreshed to start anew. Today's lectures while not as bad as I thought were not delivered well by the teachers that they got slightly boring. It's still the first day anyway so I won't let myself down.

Back to working on my writing, I guess. So many to write, deadline is Wednesday, and I'm full until late afternoon tomorrow. How sweet.

One down, another one to go!

Another exam is finally done today. That is the main reason of my lack of posts. I have been meaning to make one, always signed in and was always ready to make a post but I ended up not writing anything. x_x

The process of studying for this exam was rather... surprising. I expected the materials to be quite a lot, yet some weren't that much. I still even had the time to download some games and played them in between my rest time from studying, LOL~ Currently I'm playing mini games like Dancing Craze, Party Planner, and Hidden Object Crossword. Much fun between my studies.

Today the exam ended up quite good in my opinion. Mistakes here and there after checking it with my friends, but not so grave. Actually it depends on how the grading process is done. The exam was an integrated one between many fields, and if they decide to score it based on each field and decide on whether we have to re-take the exams based on the fields, then I'm as good as dead since I think I may fail one field. Otherwise, I should be okay. *sighs*

Well, time to prepare for the next exam. This one is A TON. I wonder how I'll survive it. Today I just don't feel like I have any strength left to study, geez. T_T

Some things are just hard to let out.

Well, as the title says.

I don't know why specifically. Today I feel so full inside but empty as well. Confusing, right? I'm sorry. It is just hard to describe what I have inside and they are also hard to let out. I ended up crying. >_>

I think it is most probably related to everything and all stress I have been keeping to myself lately... First source obviously is university life. Problems in terms of exams and scores and assignments, non-academic activities which just hurt my head with all the works and deadlines, and lack of sleep. Another source would be family-related, I suppose. Things just don't go well as it used to, and when I ignored it I ended up piling it up inside. Thus, the explosion.

Just tired, that is all, really.

It is at this kind of time that I started to feel that perhaps I just took the wrong step, that I shouldn't have done this since the beginning, and so on. Such a bad mind.

Tired. Means I need sleep. See you tomorrow then, hopefully with a better mood.

Well, exam is tomorrow. I feel kind of like... bursting up thanks to all reading and studying I've been doing. Strange that my head seems so blocked up now that no matter how many times I read it I still feel like I can't remember them all. XD I'm good with the basic concepts I think, yet if it comes to example cases and where I need to decide on a diagnosis, I can't help but feeling confused.

I'm not sure if it's just me worrying too much. Like today, I was worried to death that the plenary (class-wide presentation after laboratory experiment or discussion) would be scary since I heard the presenter would be chosen randomly and I hadn't prepared for it at all. Yet it didn't turn so bad, I wasn't chosen, and in fact I think I learned one or two more things for exam. :P

Well, back to study more, though it was hard to. XD

Life is never flat.

Well, pardon my non-posting period lately. Besides that I don't really have something to say, I'm busy as well. Working on various assignments, real life and online life, LOL~

Exams are coming and I barely have any time left. I think I will have to stop most my online activities soon to prepare for the exams, especially going to forums... That is just so addicting. Need to stop a bit. Perhaps I will spend more time writing here on the journal. Yay me!

Well, and tomorrow I'm going to spend the day after classes at my friend's birthday. So close to exam yet what am I doing..? LOL~ I need my fun!

Just wish me luck to stop myself from going to forums too much. T_T
