La Sérénité

It is such an impulsive thought and decision to bravely change my blog's URL.

A few years ago, changing the URL was a difficult thing to do and it needed a lot of considerations to finally come to a decision. However, now, it is no big deal. The only obstacle I face is the scarcity of common words for the URL because they were all already unavailable. Of course, blogger has been used by a lot of people for years, then it is normal for me to find such a difficulty. Finally, I come up with a French word: sérénité, means serenity (You don't say...)

Actually, I was thinking to change the URL into a very common word: peacefulness, calmness, happiness, and any other noun that I think will fit what I am writing on this blog. Then, I googled up some words related to peacefulness. I forgot that there was this cool website called thesaurus.com which anyone can find the synonyms (or even antonyms) of any word. However, I felt like English words were commonly used by people on the internet. Almost every word that I tried to use was already unavailable! Okay, English doesn't work, let's just move on to French. This is what I always do every time I have no other idea for saying (...or writing, maybe? I don't speak French at all.) something in English. It does not necessarily mean that I am an expert in French, but I just love how French words sound and pronounced, so yea here it is: la sérénité.

Why 'la sérénité'?
Nice question.
(Um, well, okay... I ask myself and then I praise myself too. Never mind!)

Because... at the first place, I never meant to change my blog's URL! I was sleeping in bed when I finally felt like writing something on my blog just to pour everything that have been going on in my mind these days. I got up and switched on my laptop. While I was thinking about where to start, suddenly I came to a realization that I am here, on Blogger, to let out all negative thoughts, complicated feelings, and other complexities that I might experience in my daily life. I  am here to find a little peacefulness, something that might be relieving some of my stress. This is like one of many coping resources that I have. So I think any word similar to 'peacefulness' or 'serenity' is an appropriate word to represent this blog.

This is such a waste of time. I wasn't logging in to post this kind of crap. I was here to tell something about my life but hey that impulsive decision ruined everything! Hahaha. I'll be coming back here one day... when I have free time. As always.

Mereka Yang Jadi Pemenang!

reblogged via tascajudge > sok tumblr :P every moments that feel soooo alive make up our mind. Sometimes, we wish the real thing turns into sumthin' fake. Kadang kita terlalu pengen merubah segalanya sampai akhir, menyesal karena gak berbuat yang lebih baik. Menyesal karena semuanya udah berlalu. Menyesal soalnya dia udah punya orang lain, milikin orang lain. Menyesal karena kita menunjukkan diri kita yang sesungguhnya, bukan diri kita yang bukan diri kita . Got it? (emg agak rumit sih-..- baca ulang deh) Ada nggak yang punya masalah kaya gitu? Umm, just asking, no other purpose. Seperti misalnya... Ummmmmmm, lo sayang banget sama satu orang. Whoever he/she is. Tiba-tiba lo ngerasain ada yang aneh. Saat-saat lo diharuskan berbagi sama orang lain. Sama cewek/cowok lain. Ada perasaan sakit di situ, ada perasaan marah, kesel, lo pengen tau kalo orang yang lo sayang itu lebih dulu kenal sama lo, lo pengen ngasih tau orang2 kalo org yang lo sayang itu cuman punya lo dan gak bole...

Looking Back to 2016

Sekarang udah tahun 2017, tapi emang gak ada bedanya bagi gue. Keluarga gue secara pribadi nggak merayakan tahun baru kayak mungkin orang-orang pada umumnya. Gak ada itu malem tahun baru keluar jalan-jalan, apalagi kita tau bakal macet banget di mana-mana hahaha biasanya sih tahun baru kita di rumah aja leyeh-leyeh. Kayak nggak ada bedanya hari ini dan besok, hanya beda di penulisan tanggal aja. Terlepas dari hal itu, gue mau me- review  sedikit mengenai tahun 2016, bukan sebagai sebuah pergantian tahun, tapi lebih kepada merangkum kehidupan akademis-non akademis gue. Kenapa? Karena kalau gue bisa bilang, BEM itu bener-bener jadi hal besar yang mengisi hari-hari gue dan biasanya itu berlangsung selama satu tahun untuk tiap periodenya. Jadi ketika tahun ini berakhir, berakhir pula kehidupan BEM gue sekaligus adanya pergantian kehidupan akademis. Penekanannya lebih ke hal itu sih hahaha. Looking back to 2016 , gue merasa melewati banyak hal besar di kehidupan gue. Relate  n...

Beberapa Hal yang Dirindukan

Menjadi mahasiswa baru berarti mengalami berbagai macam perubahan. Kadang-kadang, perubahan itu menyebabkan kerinduan terhadap beberapa hal. Misalnya, ketika suatu hal yang biasanya gue lakukan atau terjadi di kehidupan gue selama SMA, tiba-tiba nggak ada lagi di kehidupan perkuliahan lo, hal-hal itu akan jadi sesuatu yang gue rindukan. Setidaknya, untuk sekarang ini. 1. Hitung-hitungan Ini tuh ngangenin juga ya ternyata. Saat udah nggak ada lagi sesi belajar ngerjain-soal-berjam-jam-sampe-lupa-waktu, gue mulai menyadari betapa asiknya belajar kayak gitu. Sekarang gue ngambil jurusan Psikologi, sejauh ini yang gue pelajari sebagian besar hanya menghafal dan memahami, nggak ada menghitung. Entah kenapa sekarang gue kalo belajar nggak pernah berjam-jam seheboh dulu. Waktu SMA, gue bisa ngabisin waktu 2 jam lebih buat ngerjain soal hitungan. Kayaknya tuh bisa serius banget ngerjain soal hitungan, cuma ditemenin lagu, dan sedikit distraksinya. Ini sih sekarang ya, kalo kata senior sih b...
