Every new year's eve is definitely an absolute joy. You get to hang out with friends and family, get a barbecue goin', light some fireworks, it's always about fun and doing fun things. Although let's be honest, it's a lot more than that. I mean trust me I don't like deadlines and seriousness especially when it has to interrupt the fun that's currently commencing. But I guess it's fair to say that the fun itself, unaccompanied by some deep reflections would bring no meaning to the new year celebration itself. In other words, it's a waste of bloody time. Precious time. I always ask myself a question every new year's eve. Well, at least I always try to ask myself a question every new year's eve. The question in question is "Without the noise, without the hustle and bustle, what kind of things would I think of tonight?" Well it's probably not exactly like that but my point is that I always try to reflect over the last 364 days (...

They say that if you want something really bad you gotta work really hard. That notion has always been planted in me since I was little. Whether it's by my parents, teachers, idk you name it. They say that an accomplishment is always about the hard work. And so when there's a test coming up at school my classmates always study real hard. Almost too hard if I'm honest. Pile of books, late nights, those kinda stuff. I just happen to be one of those people who don't actually put in that much effort but I seem to appear somewhere at the middle-high rank. Well, okay, you might argue that's because of luckiness or because I might be talented or whatever. But to be honest, I don't think so. http://www.clipartbest.com/cliparts/9Tz/o9a/9Tzo9anXc.jpeg You see, compared to my other friends, you can say that I'm like one of the laziest. And lazy people are almost certainly born with a major disadvantage if it weren't for the fact that they seem to figure out...

As you guys know, or might not know (in that case I would gladly tell you), we live in this planet called Earth. Thing is, we don't live here alone, or with just a few family members, neighbours, or other people who are physically and mentally close to us. We live here with a lot of people. 7 billion in that respect. And because we have more human from time to time inhabiting this Earth, competition grows within us. And with competition, comes ignorance. We feel the need to care less about the people who don't matter to us directly. Individualism. Most of us are overshadowed by the notion that if we give room to care about somebody else (who is in need of care) then we would have less room for ourselves and therefore we might lose this so called "competition" because our contenders might not think about other people. So then the "logical" move would be to not let that happen because of course we want to win the competition. But to be honest, I don...

In this post I will complain about something... Because I am sort of good at it HAHA. (Okay, that capitalised laugh is a lame) Okay, so have you ever argued with people who always thinks that they're always right without even giving the slightest assumption that the opposition maybe, just maybe, is in fact the right side? Those people deserve high-fives. In the face. With a chair. Twice. From Hulk. HAHA (I'm sure you've heard that joke before) (lame). But anyway, what I'm trying to say is that these people are really slowing down the advancement of the human race in a way. Why? Because I guess two of the things that a 21st century human must have is respect and an open-mind. If you don't have even one of these then by all means I have the right to call you an "utter prick" or a "douche" the Americans might say. These people tend to think that no matter what, they're always right. And that is indeed stupid. You're lucky if this pers...

Today is the August 17 yeayy! It marks 70 years of Indonesia's independence and it is indeed a day to celebrate. Today is obviously a national holiday but students and civil workers are required to attend the flag ceremony in their respective work places. The ceremony usually lasts for like a little less than an hour. It's not necessarily a fun thing to do but when you consider the historical vibe that's going on around then it's really something you'd do without having anything in return. Oh, and I definitely have to tell you about the ongoing tradition we have when it's nearing this exact day. Usually each and every neighbourhoods would sort of host various "competitions". I wouldn't really call them competitions because they're too not serious to be considered so but technically they're still a competition so, yeah. I don't really know how to explain or give examples about the competitions we have because if you're somebody not...

Bloggers are amazing people. Because blogging is like really really really hard. To have something to write everyday and actually write it so that you can eventually post it is insanely hard. That's why I really do appreciate all the daily bloggers out there. They are indeed a prime example.  The weird thing is that most people think it's so easy. I mean at first it is because when you just had the thought to make a blog you're mind is literally filled with tons of idea and you feel an irresistible urge to post it online. But after that phase, you literally have nothing. Nothing. Well to be honest you actually do still have one thing you still have a choice. Whether you want to continue making something and push yourself so that you can continue finding new limits, or whether you want to just leave that sudden urge to make a blog just a sudden urge to make a blog. I say that as if I know a lot though hahaha. Well the thing is that I don't. But I know these things fr...

I only have a few friends. I mean at my school there's about 320 people in my year alone and I do know most of them. But I wouldn't say that I have a lot of friends. I have a lot of acquaintance, yes. But not a lot of friends. And the very reason for this is trust. I'm just that kind of guy who doesn't like to be disappointed by the people that I trust. Especially if I trust them a lot. And my preventive action to that is sort of qualifying the people that I know so I'm sure I'm being friends with the people that I can actually trust. In Indonesia, having a a few friends is not really good in the social point of view. In fact if I were to say so myself, being an introvert or showing too many acts of introversion is like a social crime. My teacher once called me arrogant and selfish because I don't have a lot of friends. And that same exact teacher would probably still say the same now. The thing is that those people don't understand how it feels to b...
