I guess this is goodbye

Taken for Granted

I realized that I've taken many things for granted. Friends, family, safety.

Around 8 hours ago, it has become known that Air Asia with flight number QZ8501 has lost contact with the land authorities. And since then, nothing has been heard from them.

The thing is that plane carries my friend and family. Almost the whole family. Hearing that, I felt very regretful. I felt that I have taken his presence for granted. I have taken the fact that I have flown back and forth from Singapore and Surabaya safely for granted.

I just hope that they are all safe. I just hope that every single one of them can be found alive. His sister is still waiting for them with no certainty. So I hope they can come back for her safely. And I promise I won't take his presence for granted anymore. He's a precious friend and I don't want to lose him.

Drama Review : Dream High

I know this is a long long overdue drama knowing that it came out 2011. But, oh well, I just finished watching it today. I'll give some general comments so that I won't give spoilers, so don't fret! Here goes my short, swift and sweet review for this drama :) 

Unforgettable Night

I should be sleeping now, hahaha. But guess what, I'm not.

Tonight or, rather, yesterday according to Singapore time was really unforgettable. I was the i/c for my seniors' prom. The journey was hard, but all of us made it, all of us who are involved. We finally made it! After weeks of late night sleeping doing up documents and posters, everything finally paid off.

Everyone congratulated me for being a good IC. But was I really? I personally don't think so. Which is why, rather than being relieved and really happy that the event is over, I was sad. My hearts were shredded into pieces when I saw my friends falling down one by one. All of this should not happen. All of this would not happen if I take good care of them, take note of their well-being too while running the show.

I, as a noob, am really thankful of the people working with me. Peers and teachers were of huge help, especially teachers, it felt like they took the majority of the work load. I am really nothing wothout them. Some important sudden decisions were honestly made by someone else, whom I think is really more capable than me in this field.

So, to whom does the glory for the night belong to? The answer is simple, all of the 15th HC. They are everything. Without them, there won't be grad night 2014. Iridescent 2014 won't be a success without these people. And for that, I'm really thankful.

If any of you, HCers happened to read this post, I just want to say a gazillion thank you to you all. No words can describe how I'm so grateful of all of you. You all own the night 😊

Random Stuffs

Hi 🙋

This post will be a lot different from the usual. In the regular posts, I always talk about one specific things. But this time, I'll be talking about few things that just pop into my mind.

These are the things that I'll be talking about:
1) The ways of fangirl
2) For the greater good

Okay, firstly, I want to talk about this issue that I came accross this evening. So, apparently Jin from BTS cried during the group rehearsal because he felt guilty of the fact that some people left the fandom after the 'condom' accident. I think, leaving the fandom after such incident is a bit, idk, immature? You might ask, 'who are you to say that?'. It is true that I am in no place to judge others. But, for this once, please hear me out. I believe, this 'condom incident' shouldn't be a problem at all. First of all, it's already so amazing that someone managed to spot that one little foil from the whole entire screen. Secondly, even if it's really theirs (ie. they bought it themselves), we also have no right to condemn them, right? I mean, they're also normal human. And it's not that our bodies are attached to theirs, so this problem does not affect our life at all. So, for those who left the fandom, I want to ask you a question. What does being a fangirl mean to you? Are you really just a fan, or has it become an obsessive behaviour?

Okay, next is that something is done for the greater good. Just yesterday, Jokowi, the current Indonesia president raised the price of subsidized fuel even though by right it's not time to raise the price. Some people react negatively to this, which is really understandable. But, let's think ablout this further. Jokowi mentioned during his speech to OPEC that his government would try to erase subsidy for fuels so that the fund can be used for other things such as eduaction and health. And apparently this won the hearts of many country leaders. So, this raise in price, I think, is used to prepare for the prepare for the future when fuels is no longer subsidized. As such, the people won't feel the shock too much when it's really unsubsidized anymore. Besides, this increases the attractiveness of Indonesia for investment in the eyes pf the world. So, yeah. I think it's really done for the greater good :)

That's all for this post. I hope you have a good day ahead 😊

Game of Life

I don’t believe in coincidences. I don’t believe that there is anything that happens by chance. I believe, everything happens for a reason. Maybe, we don’t know why it must happen. But someday, somehow we will find out. This is because, I think, life can be likened to a game, a game under God’s control. And just like every other gamers or players, I believe He also have His own rationale for every decided step.

Eighteen

I'm of legal age now! I can now watch M18 movies on the cinema freely, go to clubs (not that I want to, though), and many more! In some parts of Indonesia, I might even have to get married already ._. If not, I'll be considered old...

But then again, the whole idea of this short post is this; With older age, there will be less restrictions. With older age, comes greater responsibility. With older age, I will face more and more harsh truth of life. I don't really know whether I should be happy or sad because I'm growing older, especially because time doesn't stop for anyone.

I am still excited, though. There are many new things that I have yet to try out and many new opportunities also open up for me. So, why not just look at the bright side of life? I mean, eighteen shows that I'm still a teenager and that leads to the conclusion that I have to live my life happily (?). I'm sorry if I don't make sense, my dear readers. My brain has been infected by the post-promos-and-fangirling virus. So, yeah. 

Pray for me for the year ahead, yeah? The events awaiting ahead will be quite tough for me, I guess. So, prayers will be much appreciated ^^

As usual, I always try to relate my age to a song, which unfortunately I can't really find this time. So, this time I'll give you a song that kind of relate to my age? The word 18 comes out in this song once, so yeah. If you're really curious about this song, feel free to look up for the lyrics and translation on the internet. I'm not putting up any of the lyrics simply because I think this song relates more to boys than girls, and I'm a girl ._. (Btw, if you haven't realized I've liked BTS for quite some time now). So, here goes :)
