Yasssssh.
I played VR!!! (Virtual Reality).
It was a very challenging and good game!!
Thanks my job, I was able to play all of them hahahahaa XD
There were four types of games.
The first one about being a sniper.
Someone who ride bicycle and should shot the target.
Then, being someone who has walking in a small board in the heightness(?).
And being someone who trapped in the cave full of zombies and seeking the way out.
My favorite? The one who walked in a small board.
It felt real.
I even screamed like the one in manga hahahaha.
I know it was silly but like I said, it felt real.
I want to play again.

CountDown Nineteen: Bought Personal Stuff

I know it might seemed overreacted.

I know this is seemed wrong.
I am lack of confidence and I don't have ability to make friends with strangers.
I'm really bad in introduction.
And since I like yaoi, I got a lot of friends.
I don't know why, I feel like to be more open with myself and don't give a shit about what other people thought.
We're bond through sins.
Well, of course, I still can't be open like I'm in the yaoi account, in real life.
But, that account sometimes seemed more alive.

CountDown: First Snorkling Ever

CountDown Fourteen: First Snorkling Ever.

source: giphy

It was a huge step for me. Really. Huge. Since I can't swim for real. I often got jealous when my friends went to an island and did snorkling in the water. Like I said earlier, I can't fucking swim!
So, my sis community held an event to go to Tidung island. Since it was really cheap, I signed instantly with my fella, Kevin.

My sis asked me "are you really joining the trip?" I said, "yes". She replied "but you can't swim,". I told her "well, there is a lifeguard,".

She blinked can't believe I have a courage to do that haha.

As I predicted, she also joined the trip. It was my first time experiencing the boat and had a sea trip! Woohoooo!

We snorkling the next morning, at first, I was scared. Of course, who wouldn't! I kept thinking to myself, if I don't do it now, then when? I can't swim, yes, that's the fact. But they taught us who wouldn't snorkling before, how to take a breath, and stuff.

It was fun.

source: mine

And I jumped to the sea. For the first time in MY ENTIRE LIFE. I was scared that maybe I would be drown but when I looked down that was a beautiful reef in there.
And I'm understand why people like to snorkling. Because it was beautiful. And my fear was gone nowhere to be found.

The feeling I wanted to do it more appeared. It was really fun. If I could go to there again, I definitely say I would.
I want to go to sea again!

CountDown: Bar Bar Bar

CountDown Thirteen: Bar Bar Bar

source: dailydot

Well, this isn't A-Pink's song, Bar Bar Bar. But it was my experience to go to bar.
Earlier, I already went to bar because an event. But I didn't ordered any alcohol drink since my friend is innocent and stuff (lol).

After work, my friends invited me to go bar. I said to them, I didn't bring any money since its old date (lol). But they insisted to pay me out so I couldnt resist.

I ordered some mojito drink. I forget about the liquor, probably it's gin and they mixed it with lemon and mint. It tasted sour and bitter of course, and little bit hot when it arrived in my throat.

I didn't go home because we went back about 2 AM lol. And my sister was upset because I always came back home late at night. Well, it's my job sis. Especially when I have night agenda, can't help.

CountDown: Wine, Wine, Wine

CountDown Twelve: Wine, Wine, Wine

source: google

Of course, being a moslem alcohol is forbidden. But something forbidden is made someone want to do it lol.

So in one event, they served wine. The red and the white. It was not because I want to get drunk, but it was more like I was curious to taste it. I mean, why people drink it? Because it tastes good, delicious?

So, I asked my friend Elise if she drinks wine and she said yes. I told her if she drinks it, I want to take a sip because I'm curious about the taste.

-God in Heaven, forgive me-

She took one glass, and offered me to take a sip. I sipped.
The red wine. It was bitter, sour, and sweet. But the bitter was the strongest than other flavor. But it smell good.
The white one. Tasted the same like the red one. But sweeter. When it entered my mouth, it was sweet. Then it came bitter in my throat. It much better than the red wine.

Elise said "you should taste beer another time" lol

CountDown: Night Club

CountDown Eleven: Night Club

source: google

My friend Sarah knows if I really want to continue my degree abroad. Her friend invited her to come Erasmus Night Club, an event to let Indonesian youngster experience about night club in Netherlands.

I went there. And I don't know why I can't really enjoy it. Is it because I was with wrong person? Or I was too sober? Lol

CountDown: Report Alert

CountDown Ten: Report Alert

source: tenor

So one day, my editor asked me to go to Kampung 3D in Depok. I was little bit shocked because I heard the news on tv and internet, but I didn't know where is it.

So after attended one event, I went to there. Well, the place is a little bit far from the city. And it was a small village. The youngsters in there created the 3D pictures so people more aware about their safety on the road because there are a lot of children.

source: hipwee

But unfortunately, the goverment haven't supported them to make this place a tourist destination (it was November 2017 I dont know about it now).

It was my first reporting without an event lolol.

Lol

CountDown: Jakarta Fashion Week

CountDown Eight: Jakarta Fashion Week 2018

source: google

Sooo, the fashion week that I ever came was Indonesia Fashion Week 2016. It's also because I was a volunteer there lol. And here I was. Jakarta Fashion Week 2018.

I attended as a media and I met a lot of people.

To be honest, it wasn't better than IFW 2016 that I attended. Seriously. I always thought JFW 2018 more exclusive, etc. But I don't know what happened to them.

Oh right, I talked to Barli Asmara lolol. He is one of my favorite designer. He is really cool. Unlike last year, I only took a picture with him, but now, I talked to him even though it's work related lol.

CountDown: Real Work

CountDown Seven: Real Work

source: google

People must said, it was pretty fast for me to get a job. But believe me, I was waited a job for three months, right after I finished my trial. People at that time, haven't worried about it yet. They started worried about getting a job after graduation (some friends were).

I worked at newspaper company. I wrote about lifestyle.

My mom was opposed to me because she wants me to be a teacher like her and my sister. But I don't want to. She can't interfere what I want in life, it's my life. I need to choose every thing that I want to choose. She let me choose my school, my university, but why she didnt let me choose my career?

It wasn't her fault that I chose education program, it was my choice. I chose it because I think about the future.

I was broadcasting student, I always want to be in media. But because of financial issue, I can't continue my study to university. So, I chose cheap university and took education program.

And God has a plan to me. He let me internship in media and made me want to continue pursuing my dream in media. And so here I am.

People kept saying, I am lucky because I could decide what I want to do, I could choose what career I want to pursue. I told them, it's not like you become a bad child for don't listen to your parents advice. But, it's your life. You have rights to say your opinions, to pursue your dreams. You are the one who live with it, not them. So you definitely have rights.

CountDown: Graduation

Countdown Six: Graduation

source: tenor

Finally, after four years, I am graduated. Few days earlier, I thought about I didn't want to come because it's useless. And I was afraid of the future. I mean, I will enter the real world, the tough world. Why I do graduation thing instead I should find a job?

But once again, my mom wanted to see me graduated wearing toga and stuff.

It went smooth.

But I can't stop thinking about what should I do next.
I needed to find a job. I should earn my own money. Lol.

When people smiled and had fun, I thought "They don't worry about after this graduation thing?"

with my friends! (left to right: fathan, heni, meh, eka)

CountDown: Asean Parade 50

Countdown Five: Asean Parade 50

source: google

Since waiting for the next interview, I signed volunteer for Asean Parade 50. It was parade to celebrate Asean.

It was very cool event. I met a lot of new people.

My job was holding the board during the parade. I was assigned to assist Asean Women Circle, the community for Asean Ambassador's wives. We paraded from Monas to Hotel Indonesia. I was in the center of them lolol.

It was really exciting even though it was tiring.

before parade

parade!! as you can see, I was in the middle and lead them lol

CountDown: Interviewed

CountDown Four: Interviewed

source: google

Well, not long after I finished my thesis and trial. It was my loooong break before graduation day. I tried to apply job in every company. But of course, my mind concern is in media company. I want to work in media again.

I feel like it is a kind of job I want to do. I know it seemed wrong, since I took education program. Some people said I should become a teacher, not a journalist. But, I can't and I don't know if I want to. I want to do what I want. I want to live the choice that I choose.

So, I got interviewed in media company. They asked me if I like reading and I said, yes. They asked again about where should they put me in to. I told them I want to write about lifestyle.

When they called me again, they put me in economics major and I couldn't stand in the mean time. I knew nothing about economics and stuff. So I told them, I can't for now. I want to write about lifestyle.

I might thought that I was so stupid for rejecting the company. It was not like I didn't took a chance. I did. They did train me, but I wasn't ready yet to write about economics issue. I felt like Rebecca Bloomwood lol.

But I thought again, maybe it wasn't my luck.

CountDown: Thesis

CountDown Three: Thesis

source: google

So, I wrote thesis as it was requirement to graduate. I wrote thesis about Mythology in Percy Jackson and the Olympians since I'm interested in it.

Fortunately, I got my home lecturer to be my advisor lecturer. He also, my seminar lecturer.

It went not really smooth, but I finished on time to go to first trial.

I got inspiration about one student wrote about Mythology in Harry Potter. So, why wouldn't I wrote about Mythology in Percy Jackson since Percy Jackson story is inspired by Greek Myths?

That's my background lolol.

P.s. Never mind.

CountDown: Big Bad Wolf

CountDown Two: Big Bad Wolf

source: wikipedia

Last year, I went there alone. Yep, A-L-O-N-E. Crossed two provinces, spent three hours to go there and three hours to go back home. Spent less than one hour for looking novels that I'm looking for, and three hours for buying them in cashier. Lol. (read here).

So, this year I went there with my book fella, Ita. She really wanted to go there since I went there alone last year. We got VIP ticket for pre-sale BBW event. I thought we wouldn't experienced what I got last year. But it turned much worst.

We arrived there almost noon and found out there were already full of people. After spending time to look around for books, we decided to queue since it's already loong (the queue almost a half of the venue). We took a shift. She went looking for her book, I waited. She waited, I searched my book.

It took FOUR FUCKING HOURS to pay all of these books. I spent about 500K for my babies (I never spent this much for my babies). We were all hungry and stuff (of course, we came since noon).

But still, I didn't get Pride and Prejudice and Vampire Academy. Instead I bought Emma (which is I haven't read yet) and Sense and Sensibility (I haven't read it also).

For this year, possibly I would go there again.

CountDown: Internship

CountDown One: Internship.

source: google

Yep. I got internship in online media, Dream. You could tell by post when I was 20, when I passed the interview (you could read here). The interview I was mentioned is for internship position. I was signed for full time job, but they can't give me the chance because I haven't graduated yet. So they offered me internship job.

They asked me several questions about how do I like writing, and of course I like writing (lol).
My internship began when I turned 21, yep, it started on my birthday. They assigned me to parenting channel. At first, my job was only translated the article. But the next day, the editor asked me to attend one event.

That was my first event to report.

I remembered, it was raining and the road near my house was flooding. I was totally late.
In the invitation, the event started at 9 AM and I came at 11 AM. But luckily, the event was late because of course, the traffic and the flood around the city.

It was my first event and unforgettable haha.

And the next event I attended, went smoothly because I'm kinda used it. I met new people, got new information, that I could share to other people. It was thrilling.

Since internship, my thesis didn't have any progress because of course, I came home late and stuff and I didn't have time to write thesis. So, when my thesis about to step chapter IV, I quit.

I internshiped only two months and a half. It was really fun. The people in Dream were so nice and kind.

If I could go back to there, I would. Lolol

(just in case you want to read my article there lol)
