An Introvert

 “How Come You are an Introvert?”

(Evatarida.blogspot.co.id)

This question thrown to me more than I thought I’d hear. 

“As an extrovert like you, this must be awful.” Another statement given to me. 

“There’s no way you’re an introvert. No introvert will do it that way.”

He's Just Not That Into You

Cheers!

Many of us are contaminated by the word "friendzone" Like we are now served with a phase of our life - well love life- that we can get away with by throwing the friendzone word.

But is it really true?

Or is it really works as it sounds?

For me, it should be easily translated into "he/she is just not that into you".

How come?

So, many of us might have been caught up in a heated and intense conversation with someone. for weeks, or even months. So much that we, like it or not, realize it or not, get attached by the routine. 

By the time being on texting basis, it seems all the feelings were reciprocated. Easy, because when you text, you have all the time in the texting standard time to arrange a proper answer/respond. It'll be so much different when the conversations or the on going relationship is done by doing face to face meet up, direct contact, or so.

Another Tick on My Bucketlist: Eurotrip (Part 1)

Another tick on my bucket list!

For every darkness, God has set the light to shine afterwards.

A phrase that I can now give an ‘Amen’ to. And silver lining on its way also.

This November 2016, I was blessed with so many thing that I can put another tick on my bucket list.

EURO TRIP (TICKED)!

Yes, baby! I finally stepped my foot on this continent! AAAAAAKKKKK! So happy! :D Beyond happy! When the things you’ve been dreamed on for times finally come true! – Man! And while writing this, Diane Schuur’s Try A Little Tenderness is playing! Haha how lovely. –

So, since I’m an employee, I can’t just burst away for weeks to have a little heavenly trip for myself. Yeah, I have to input a leave permission. That’s the first thing. So, 14 days. That’s how many days I got to make sure I got to feel the winter cold weather and snowy nose! :p

I was there with two of my friends. There were just three of us, and no, we did not use any tour agent. We did it backpacker style! Yeah! Well, we brought suitcases of course, big ones too, since it was winter there and we need coats and warm clothes, and literally impossible for just carrying backpack there. But, hell, we did it ourselves! Yeah!  I put to many exclamation mark. I know, sorry. Nope, not sorry. I was super excited! Still am! Hahaha... So bear with me with the abuse of exclamation mark’s usage in this one posting.

"I don't know about you, but I'm feeling twenty two! [Taylor Swift]" no, I'm not 22, I'm in fact 28. I already on my late 20s, and closer to 30 haha. Problem? No, not at all. For me. But it seems like it becomes problem for those around me.  Why? 

I'm still single.

Mendadak ke Pulau Pramuka

Tepatnya minggu lalu, saya sedang tidak punya rencana apa-apa menghabiskan weekend.

Agak bete juga sih. Sebelumnya, sudah ada rencana dengan beberapa teman kantor, tapi harus dibatalkan karena ada tugas datang yang manghalangi kelancaran rencana kami ini.

Jadi, saya berpikir,"ya udah, tar weekend jalan-jalan sendiri aja terus beli DVD serial, trus nonton sampe bosan" - yep, saya sangat doyan nonton serial. Nope, bukan serial Korea, jadi jangan tanya soal referensi serial Korea ke saya, yaa..

Kamis malam, saya lagi main instagram dan lihat beberapa posting dari teman-teman. Mendadak saya kangen nyebur. Ke laut. Alias Snorkeling atau super duper Short Free Dive (about 5-10 seconds only hahaha). Jadi saya kontaklah teman saya "Yan, ke Pulau Seribu yuk?" dan Dian pun setuju. Jadi deh doi cari-cari di inet, dan dimulailah our impulse-traveling for the weekend ke Pulau Pramuka, Kepulauan Seribu XD

Feeling that Feels Like Love

"People are strange when you are a stranger"

sepenggal lirik dari The Doors ini mirip dengan peribahasa yang sudah lama malang melintang di jagad Indonesia ini; Tak kenal Maka Tak Sayang. Begitulah kurang lebih menurut saya. Begitu, bukan? :D

Adalah wajar kalau kita merasa aneh atau awkward dengan seorang stranger, atau orang yang baru kita temui. Ya sudah pastilah.. Lha namanya aja baru tahu tadi. Belum tentu juga tahu usianya. Mau tanya takut disangka ngga sopan. tapi kalau ngga tanya, nanti guyonannya ngga nyambung gimana, berabe kan? Mau becanda ala biasanya, takut nanti orangnya sayensitip jadi tersinggung. Atau jangan-jangan orangnya super lemot, jadi ngomong apa aja doi cuma plonga-plongo ngga ngerti kita lagi obrolin apa.

Haha..

Pikiran-pikiran seperti itu pasti bisa muncul saat kita pertama kali ketemu atau dikenalin ke orang baru.

Seiring berjalannya waktu tentu kita akan makin tahu dan mengenal seseorang. Entah nantinya kita akan kenal baiiiikkk banget atau ya sekedar tahu kalau orang ini agak sensi kalau ngomongin umur, atau tentang "kapan kewooonggg?" gitu.
