WHAT TO DO WHILE WAITING FOR THE RIGHT JOB?

Soooo, what to do while waiting for the right job?
I've googled some. One site mentions that I should make a list about things I want to do, including those that I've always wanted but never get a chance before. Here's what I end up with :D

1. Keep looking for vacancies .
The right one is out there somewhere and you'll never get it unless you APPLY, prepare your best, and kill it.
DO NOT GIVE UP!
Learn from every selection steps, notice your mistakes, figure how to fix them, n do even better.

2. Read books.
There are tons of great books, but you can only absorb what's in them if you read them.
Finish one before you start a new one
Make the list!
The power of habit, Paulo Coelho's books (aleph, the flowing river, the winner stands alone), Ajahn Brahm's second n third books, motivating books, self-help & self-improving books.
And oh don't forget to read the bible every day :)

3. Start writing?
I mean, you've always wanted to write but at the end nothing's written
You should be serious, see your sis? She's serious n she's doing it.
Don't lose.
Write about anything, about this maybe, about relationship, a story, anything! Just don't let your brain has a day off ;)

4. Read the news.
It's fucking important these days n ages.
You're an adult now, you should know about important n real stuffs.

5. Exersice!!
You don't want to look fat in front of your future employer right? Being in a good shape shows that you are living a healthy life and have a good self control.

6. Experiment with cooking.
Well looking at past experiences, I'd suggest you not to act too careless with the ingredients.
Try recipes in Indonesian books first, they give you clearer steps (try that one book).
Oh and don't make too much portion, if the taste isn't as good as you imagine, other people won't have to eat it hahaha..

7. Keep your brain working.
You can play educating games like sudoku, or strategic games, anything that keeps you thinking.
Never stop using your brains.
You might also want to review some fundamental lecture materials, especially before your job selection test.

8. Play the piano?
It's been so long you know.
N to make mum happy listening to it.
Find the chords for your favorite songs!
Don't stop halfway!
Remember practice makes perfect ;)

9. Give enough care n affection to your family n friends.
Catch up with old friends too!

10. Take a cooking lesson?

11. Learn how to drive, get a license

12. Watch great movies, inspiring ones too

13. Value your money!
You don't earn it yourself, n your parents should've stopped funding you by now.

14. Prepare to study abroad?
Don't forget about your dreams van, just because you can't go this year doesn't mean it's unachievable!

15. Keep updating this list n make a target for everything.
Don't slack of!
It's easy to be lazy but you totally can't ;)

BACK FOR REAL!! :D

Holla I'm TRULY back!! :D
Today, I am a fresh graduate from ITB majoring in Chemical Engineering, still looking for a decent job :')
I decided to start writing again, for real, this time haha.. 

Let me keep you updated with my current life :)

Now I'm back to my parents' house in Cinere. It's actually at the border between Depok and Jakarta so every time I'm asked about where I come from, I always answer Jakarta hahaha.. My life has never been in Depok anyway.. My old room has gone, invaded by my lil sis who is not willing even to share the room with me .__. I sleep in mum's room and my desk is placed 'temporarily' in the same room. Thank to mum for the idea n efforts. No one else would act, of course -__-

I already have someone in life, I mean someone I love who loves me back too. We're kinda in a relationship. We are, but there's no exact date as to when we started dating. Just happens. I am really glad that I've moved on from the darkness and that I'm living this healthy relationship in peace :D Sure, it's not always easy, there was a time when we got separated, I might talk about that later, but now we're already convinced with each other to take this seriously. I've known his parents, he's known mine. I've been to his home, he's been to mine. We're happy, and the most important thing of all, I don't feel addicted. I'm still striving to become an independent woman. I have my own life and he has his. My happiness is not his responsibility ;)

As I said before, I'm still looking for a decent job. I'll write for sure about my adventure in searching for the right job, the one God has planned for me, when I get it. Right now I'm still trying to look everywhere hahahaha..

I found a new hobby: COOKING! Hahahaha.. I am actually influenced by my best friends in college, Mario & Tia, they're good at it and I was just inspired hahaha.. I tried to make some, turned out I really enjoy doing that :D

Well, not everything is okay though.. Some bad things happened too. The highlight? Cynthia kinda ended our friendship. Said she couldn't stand of people moving forward while she's not. Said it wasn't my fault. And left. Just like that. Citra said she had been keeping distance with people around her, being super sensitive, and having shut down moments. I originally planned to send her an anonymous birthday cake, but Citra let it out before I explained everything to her. Cynthia shut down as expected. It wasn't really Citra's fault though. I'll still try to do that, with a change on the cake. I'm still thinking about the perfect thing that could be given at this moment :/
God, please bless her n watch over her. Strengthen her and guide her with every step she's taking. Please let her know that she's not alone and she's never should been alone...


Hmm, I think that's enough for catching up. I'll try my best not to disappear again this time hahaha.. See ya when I see ya! ;D

God bless :)
