When a Sound has No Meaning, it's Called Noise

You do notice those buggers who always give critiques whatever you do, good or bad, don't you? At least I do notice them. Most of the time they really really bug me. Well i mean i do a lot of things wrong but that doesn't give them justification to keep throwing rocks at me. Let alone those times when i actually did something right. I'm always considered as someone weird and absurd at school so this happens a lot to me. My dearest friends would tell me to just ignore them and move on. But you just simply can't ignore external stimulation can you? Especially if you're an introvert like me. So how are you suppose to get through this? This is how i do it.

1. Keep your head down and walk away or don't answer. This gives them affirmation that you aren't listening. That way, they'll think twice whenever they want to do the same thing.
2. Fight back (with your HEAD). Take  to them an argument. You need to use your intelligence so that you make sure you nail the argument. One of the most important things that you need to remember during this is that you need to stay calm. And when i mean calm I do mean CALM.
3. Reflect on the good things you've done and the things you've done right. I'm sure after the shit stuff they told you you're gonna feel bad about the things you've done wrong. Well to me that's not entirely a bad thing. But what you also need to remember is that you have also done lots of things right so don't let it creep into you.

I guess it's already a fact that ignoring is hard as f**k. But once your used to it, you'll understand just how powerful the power of ignorance is. Have a nice day, lads!

Speech Script: Being an Introvert

Hey, Guys. I thought I'll share another speech script today. I used this script when I was competing in a competition held by a Senior High in Bantul, Yogyakarta Special Area. I got 1st in that competition so I think this one is pretty good. And I also wanna say that in this speech script I slipped in a little personal story of mine. So it's gonna be a little hard if you're going to copy it haha... So here you go. I’ve always felt that I’m different compared to most people. At least compared to most students in my school. On break time, they like to gather in groups and gossip about someone or chat about the current trends. I prefer not to. If I necessarily have to get involved in a group chat outside my class, I always try not to do the unnecessary. Not to talk too much. Some people say that I’m shy and weird. Some even say I’m arrogant and antisocial. The truth is, I’m an “introvert”. So ladies and gentlemen, the honourable judges, and my fellow competitors, this morn...

My Not So Professional Take on Indonesia's Education System

    So recently I just had this little realisation. I was about to call it an epiphany but I thought using that word would be a dramatisation, so for the moment let's just call it a minor realisation. So I live in Indonesia which if you don't know already, is a developing country. We have so many things to be proud about like our astonishingly diverse culture and our unique culinary taste. But education isn't one of those things. Education is far from those things. Like our education sucks. I don't exactly know the reason to that. I mean I haven't done a research or anything but I might have some ideas and hypotheses to the situation. The human resource, the gap between islands Firstly, I think the problem comes from the not-so-advanced framework of the whole education system itself. Indonesia comes 4th globally in terms of population. There's about 250 million of us. And yet, our education system doesn't have enough human resource to support...

What's Next?

It's been a long time since I've written another post. A lot of things have happened since then. I believe the last time I posted something on this blog, I was in the middle of my studies and I was in no mood of sharing anything to any medium or audience whatsoever. I was in a bit of a hectic situation and my focus was all over the place. But thankfully, now that things have settled down, I want to write a blog post that serves as an update and also as a sharing medium where I intend to put my plans for the future on the table for everyone to see. I'm not sure what I'm trying to achieve through doing that but I hope it could and would give you readers out there a tiny bit of something. In terms of my current academic situation, well, there is none. I am now thankfully free of any academic situation. I've finished all my duties in high school and I as of the 13th of May I have officially graduated from High School. It's been a wild 3 years and I really feel...
