Balada Tesis dan Fat Shaming

Ternyata ngetik dalam bahasa inggris atau bahasa indonesia yang rapi dan bener itu agak susah ya. Hari ini mau coba ngetik dengan bahasa sehari-hari dulu deh.

Bingung sih mau mulai darimana, tapi aku mau cerita soal kecemasan aku akhir-akhir ini. Jadi sekarang aku lagi ngerjain tesis untuk syarat dapetin gelar baru, dan sekarang juga aku udah kerja, jadi kerasa padat banget tiap weekdays setelah pulang kerja pasti ke kampus untuk ngerjain tesis bareng. Fyi aku ngerjain tesis bertiga, jadi gak riset tapi ngerjain business model creation

Aku kira ngerjain tesis bertiga itu gampang, ternyata sulit juga karena harus bagi waktu untuk kumpul bertiga, kalopun gak kumpul bertiga ya terpaksa ngumpul berdua atau bahkan ngumpul sendiri demi ngerjain sedikit-sedikit aja gitu, dan lagi kalo udah kumpul bertiga karena aku sekelompok cewe semua, naluri bergosipnya gak bisa direm jadi kadang-kadang kalo udah kumpul bawaannya pingin curhat, ngegosip, kecapean, laper atau ngantuklah, kan jadi waktunya kebuang sia-sia beberapa menit bahkan jam. Masalahnya lainnya adalah kita bertiga itu kerja kantoran, jadi pulang kantor selalu sore menuju malam, bahkan salah satu dari kita baru selesai pas maghrib dan perjalanan dari kantor dia ke kampus lumayan makan waktu kalo dia pake mobil. 

Hal tersakit yang aku alami saat tesis ini adalah kita bertiga harus re-pre defense alias ngulang pra sidang karena bisnis yang kita bawakan ke penguji kurang jelas. Ditambah lagi, saat jadwal re pre-defense kita bertiga keluar, salah satu dari kita ada kegiatan dinas dari kantor untuk pergi ke luar negeri dan tanggal kepergian dia adalah 2 hari sebelum re pre-defense kita! Sumpah ini rasanya antara sedih, mau marah, kecewa, capek, ah pokonya semua berkecamuk deh :(
Akhirnya dengan kesepakatan yang sebenernya aku gak begitu sepakat sama apa yang kita putuskan bersama, yaitu reschedule jadwal.

Bayangin yah, salah satu dari kita lagi dinas ke luar negeri (sambil refreshing sebentar walaupun dia bilang disana dia gak tenang juga) selama 10hari. Udah gitu, setelah dia pulang beberapa hari setelah itu, muncul pengumuman yang menurutku sial banget untuk kita bertiga karena pada akhirnya kita harus bayar lagi untuk perpanjang pengerjaan tesis, karena deadline pengumpulannya itu tanggal 13 Januari 2018, dan sampai detik ini jadwal re pre-defense kita bertiga belum keluar dengan alasan katanya sih mengikuti ketersediaan penguji. Padahal yang kita lihat adalah para penguji kita tuh selalu ada di kampus dan gak begitu subuk, masa iya jadwalnya gak bisa diadain di minggu besok which is tanggal 7 Januari-12 Januari gitu masih ada waktu banget seminggu lagi dari hari ini, ih ketauan banget kampusku nyari duitnya kenceng banget. Bete banget, udah hampir give up soal ini, tapi I have to finish what I started.

Masalah lain selain tesis yang mungkin bagi beberapa orang bukan masalah, yaitu fat shaming. Selama kerja disambi ngerjain tesis itu, aku termasuk orang yang selalu kurang tidur karena selalu tidur sekitar 4-5 jam aja, dan aku bukan morning person, namun terpaksa jadi morning person karena kerja. Biasanya kan orang kalo kecapean, stres, kurang  tidur itu berat badannya menurun ya, lah aku nasib emanı punya gen yang susah nutuk turunin berat badan tapi gampang banget naikin berat badan (sedih loh, beneran sedih banget). 

Apa yang bikin sedih sih? Pertama, aku jadi selalu dibandingin dengan aku yang waktu itu masih lebih langsing dibandingkan aku yang sekarang, dan juga aku selalu dibandingin sama kedua temen tesisku yang sama-sama kurang tidur, capek, dan sebagainya tapi bedanya mereka kurusan, aku gemukan. Kedua, bahkan orang tua pacarku sendiri komentarin badanku yang memang gemukan sambil becanda. Man, walaupun becanda juga tetep aja sedih, seakan-akan aku jadi jelek banget setelah berat badanku naik. Aku gak akan tulis secara spesifik apa aja yang orang tua pacarku bilang ke aku sampai-sampai aku jadi insecure lagi. Gila, ngilangin insecure itu lama, kaya aku kalo mau turunin berat badan tuh lama. 

I feel like I'm so pathetic by writing this here, tapi aku cuma mau mengungkapkan keluh-kesah aku yang mungkin beberapa dari kalian mampir dan membaca sedikit cerita ini.
Pasti diantara kalian yang bersedia baca ini sampai akhir, ada yang bernasib sama kaya aku. Gak cuma yang suka dibilang gemukan lalu insecure kok, bagi yang dibilang kurus lulu insecure juga ada, karena metabolisme setiap orang kan beda-beda, kita gak bisa nyamain semuanya.

Jadi bagi kalian yang punya temen atau mungkin kamu sendiri sedang berusaha mengubah pola hidupnya, appreciate them.

It Was Real!

Have you ever having a crush on someone like more than a year? If yes, well I wanna tell you my story. I'm having a crush with this guy since 4 years ago I think (I actually having too much guy-friends that I like but this one was unbelievable).
It began when me and my buddy, Habby tried random thing called find people who have 4 or more words in their name. We were in the class waiting for the lecturer to called our name one by one so they know we were attending their class. When the lecturer called a guy or girl who have long name, we practically look around to see who raised their hand so we recognize the person. Suddenly, this one guy catch my attention, he have a unique name, and I found this guy is CUTE! I can spent my time to steal a glance at him all day if I was bored, and sometimes Habby make it worst. Oh fyi, I was still in a relationship with my high school friend those day. I kinda feel guilty to have a crush on someone when I was already in a relationship with someone, but I was a very insecure person, so my mind was full of negative perspective. Because of that negative perspective I have for like 3-4 years, everything went worst than I thought, I shouldn't write this thing on public but it's okay because I won't mention my ex-boyfriend name.
I have an abusive relationship when I was in high school, so I was being used by him for many reasons (that was really hurt I swear), I tried to keep the relationship going but I was wrong because that's only make me miserable at best. I can't even break him up when I know he was cheating, and fyi again, my ex cheated on me for three times then the third one was worst because his girl have the same fucking birthday as me (those day I really want to change my birth date I swear), then because I was so insecure, I know his password and personal stuffs like that and I caught him bought a cake for her, and for almost four years my ex never buy me a cake even for my birthday, wow I swear I don't know why I am super stupid (mom, dad, I'm sorry), since the day he dumped me I swear to myself I'm going to cry myself a river and yes it was hard because I thought he's the one (and now I know why I have to balance myself to love myself first then love the others), my move on process was a little bit weird for "normal people" because I do what my ex told me not to do for three fucking years. Fangirling, yeah fangirling. Go judge me while you read this, it's okay. I did bad thing when I was still on my move on process, I talk to myself like "look dude, your relationship is not going to last for like 2 years, I swear for that!" and yeah, it happened. I count it, 1 year 5 months if I'm not mistaken, they break up and me? Just sit back, relax and enjoy the view. After that, I suddenly laugh really loud and enjoying who's laughing now by Jessie J, and I feel really evil those days, but I enjoy it, of course!

So, I enjoying myself fangirling over my old celebrities (mostly bands) crush and also new bands for almost a year and I have a lot of crushes, I hangout with more guys than I used to. This is why I love being single, I can go out with whoever I want to without feeling guilty. College friends, internet friends, and people I accidentally met, I'm glad I know them, but for some reason I kinda hate it because some of them are soooo pervert. Because of that, sometimes I'm being a mean girl, I hang them up when they ask me out. I'm a nice girl, I swear, but you can judge by yourself if you meet me in person.

Back to the guy I already have a crush on since I move to college. This guy is the boyfriend goals (for me, okay), so I casually search for his name on every social media I have then I found him, then I kind of fangirling when he followed me back, accept my friend request less than 24 hours. Can you feel me? Then days passing by, It was June, I saw him posted a picture of a crowds in Balai Kartini, and I can guess he watched Pentatonix, and I was like "Damn dude, it's Pentatonix oh my God!" then the conversation began on his moment in Path:

me: How was the show?!
him: *replied several days after* Hey sorry just read your comment, It was awesome! You didn't watch it? I think you usually never skip any concert
me: Well, I was so tired after watching JakCloth the other day, because Breathe Carolina and Our Last Night was there and they are one of my favorites too, so that's why I'm tired and I can't make it to Pentatonix.
him: Oh I see, umm Can I have your line id?
me: Sure, it's my line id *insert my line id here*

I filter people on my line application, so I didn't notice that he actually add me, I thought he was just asking me then done, but he's not.

It was Friday and I was in Padang to visit my parents who work there, then I saw my phone, he was in Singapore (exact: Universal Studio Singapore) with his family, and because I am the type of enjoying every theme park, I suddenly search through the friends recommendations on my line application, then I found him and without any hesitation I add him back and chat him like I'm in a rush.

me: *call his name excitedly* ex: "Tristaaaan!"
him: Hey Gia, why?
me: Is the Battlestar Galactica already operate like usual?
him: No, it's still under renovation
me: Ah okay :( Is there any new vehicle? Any exciting vehicle?
him: I think yes, but I don't get in the line because it was too long and really crowded, it's weekend and it's a holiday season.
me: Oh right, I forgot. Thanks anyway! Have a nice holiday for you :)
him: Thank you, have a nice holiday for you too :)

After that I feel I have a crush on him over and over again.

The next day, he chat me first, and it sounds like he's excited to chat with me because he's using an emoji, and ma hart ma sole was flying. Did I reply him? Of course! As fast as I could and yeah I'm being the nice girl I am because I have a crush on him for too long.
The conversation continue until the day he graduated on June 30, 2015. I was spending my morning with Nurin, Amelia, Rya, and Ka Azalia that day, then I decided to go to JCC where the graduation held because Ayi wanted to go there too for Puti, Gerry and Habby (actually to see my crush too). Ayi and I bought some flowers, I bought two for Gerry and Habby and Ayi bought for Puti.
Sadly, I couldn't find Gerry because he's already left and I couldn't reach Habby on his phone, I have two flowers (1 red and 1 white) I haven't give to anyone, then Ayi said she saw Fadel (my another crush since the first semester but never get clicked), so I rush myself to Fadel to give the flower I should have give to Gerry, and the conversation goes like this:

me: Hey Fadel, congrats on your graduation
him: Hey Gia! I didn't know you come, have you graduate yet?
me: No I haven't, maybe this November hehe. Oh here's a flower for you
him: Ah okay. Huh? What is this for? For me?
me: Of course for you, duh. Once again congrats!
him: Thank you so much Gia, uh sorry I have to go home early. Bye Gia, thank you!
me: Oh yeah, my pleasure! Bye.

I swear his smile is super enchanting.

After that, I went back to Ayi and she put her smile on her face signaling that she's happy to see me "did it" then she asked me did I see Habby or not, but yeah sadly I didn't see him, so I have one more flower to give. I suddenly remember I have to see my crush today before it's too late, and after I chat him to asked where he was, Ayi saw him first (again), then she excitedly told me that he was looking for me and she said "Why are you guys so cute looking for each other like that? Go say hi to him and let me take a pic of you two!" So I approached him but not directly because he was with his friends and I was shy, but after some of his friends left, I approached him and congratulate him directly (yes, I did it!), and for the love of God his smile is more enchanting than Fadel's.
He hold a bouquet of flowers and I was like I'm going to give you this just 1 flower and you hold a bouquet of flower I think I'm not going to give this flower but I have to because I think it's awkward if you see me bring a flower but don't give it to you, soo...

me: Hey, congrats on your graduation!
him: Thank you so much, and thank you for coming!
me: It's my pleasure, umm so here's a flower for you, sorry it's not big
him: Hey thank you, it's okay you don't have to do this actually
me: Nah, I bought it, for you hehe.
him: Thank you Gia
me: My pleasure *insert his name*

Then we kinda separated because my friends wanted to take pictures with me and he was going to take a picture with me but his friends approached him again.
After I finished taking pictures with my friends, I rolled my head to find him. It's not hard to find him because he's hella tall so I could see where he was standing. I checked my phone and I got a message from him that he wanted to take a picture with me before he left the building too. So I asked Ayi to follow me, so she could help me to took a picture with him.
After I approached him again, he introduced me to his little sister, which really look alike and I was like wow, this girl is really him in a girl figure. Then I tried to talk to her for awhile, I said "Oh, it's your sister? It's so obvious that she's beautiful, just like her gorgeous brother." Yeah okay, I was flirting but I am also praise his sister because I do see her like that, cute and beautiful also enchanting smile.
After taking too much pictures because Ayi captured us several times and I know she did it on purpose, but I thanked her anyway for that.
Then he left earlier, I saw him and his family walking through the building, and can you imagine a tall guy wearing suit and bow tie, then he released the tie while walking? Damn, that was a beautiful view I don't want to miss, I swear I fangirl over him hard that day!
Oh this is our picture together on his graduation day

Ok I know I look ugly but look at him

When it was my time to finish my whole thesis, I swear I was super lazy, but for the love of my parents I need to finish it. First, the trigger was 5 Seconds of Summer: Rock Out With Your Socks Out Tour 2015 in Perth, yes I watched them and I am incredibly happy even I didn't meet the band personally. Second, he asked me to accompany him to watch Ariana Grande: Honeymoon Tour 2015. Holly shit! I thought I'm dreaming because that was my very first time a guy asked me to go to a concert together, I couldn't even express how happy I was so I cried after he asked me.

this is a festival ticket, I just can't

I feel like the happiest girl on earth that day (as a fangirl too). Another thing that make it perfect was, my dad allowed me to go to a concert with a guy, I mean only me and a guy! I know it's probably just a regular thing to you but not for me, I never get a permission to go out with a guy, well I ever ask my dad but his reaction was not what I expected, so I never ask him until the day I wanted to watch Ariana Grande's concert, and my dad easily said yes (I was going to cry that day just because I heard my dad allowed me).

He also gave me a bouquet of flowers, twice. I am not a fan of flowers but if it's from someone you like/have a crush on/fall in love with, those flowers mean so much, so yes, he makes me fangirling hard over him.

this is the first one

this is the second one, also heavier

The second one he gave me when it was my graduation day on December 2015. As I said before, I am not a fan of flowers but if it's from someone you like, it mean so much to us, right?

What happen after that? 17 days after my graduation, he finally confess that he like me, I freaking love you okay. So we are now in relationship and I am happy to know that I got my boyfriend goals type.

Do you have similar story as I am?

Keep Myself Alive

It's been two weeks since I started my new semester in my college (not new actually, because I am already in the 7th semester). Time flies so fast, I remembered how my index of achievements went down when I was in the 3rd semester because I lost my friendly and clever friend who have been my motivation since day one I got into college, her name is Patricia, but people called her Echa. I think she is really an angel for me, she really into all self improvement while everyone are still think college life is easy because you only have to be in college less than 8 hours in one day, go home, don't have homework or anything, but she's different. She keep me away from laziness. We were separated in college because I took Business and Organization major and she took Entrepreneurship major, so we never be a classmate again since the 3rd semester until now. That was the first time, then my index of achievements went down again last semester because I broke up with my boyfriend (technically he broke me up), it felt like I was sewing my own heart to heal myself then he ripped it again, well go ahead ripped my heart out if you think that what's love all about. He fall in love with someone else, so I can fall in love with someone else too. Now i am sewing my good story with my family again, because when I was in a relationship, I wasn't spending my time with my family that much, I mean I did spend my time with my family but I'm not into it, like I'm not enjoying my time with my family. So, I am trying to spend my time with my family as much as possible, with my mom, my sister, especially my dad, because it's been a rough time for me and my dad, we didn't talk much and he gave me a silent treatment for about 3 days I think, or I can say it felt like one week! Can you imagine? I can't even speak to him even when my dad was in the same room with me, I felt like a wind, you can feel it but can't see it. I was really sad, and I just wanted to lock myself in my room, I can't even eat because I lost my appetite whereas I love to eat, I felt I am not myself that day, I lose weight without even trying to do a diet, I kept vomit after eating something. That was terrible.

Another heartbreak story, I have to make another proposal for my thesis, which mean I work twice for this damn proposal, I have to wrestle with this thing for about 3 months. I am so down. To make this proposal I have to find a problem which relate to my major, second, I have to find an enterprise which relate to my problem and then I have to ask for an internal data from them for further activities because I have to process the data to find an answer and make a conclusion about it, What a struggle for a final level student. Damn, you better work it, bitch.

But in the other hand, happy things come along. My dad was right, if we are sad, just pray, God will listen to you even He doesn't give you what you want, you will get what you need even when you're not realize. "Nothing last forever, kid" My dad said. "When it is your time, it is your time." I make friends with plenty of boys and they seems nice, and I am thankful for that.
Maybe I should appreciate every little thing more.

City of Angels

This is a song by Thirty Seconds To Mars. I really into this song nowadays, this song is my medicine and my serenity in every situation.
You can listen it here

There was truth
There was consequence
Against you, a weak defense
Then there's me, I'm seventeen
Looking for a fight

All my life I was never there
Just a ghost running scared
Here our dreams aren't made–
They're won.

Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights

Bought my fate straight from hell
Second sight has paid off well
For a mother, brother and me

The silver of a lake at night
The hills of Hollywood on fire
A boulevard of hope and dreams
Streets made of desire

Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights
(Of a billion lights, of a billion lights, of a billion lights...)

Angels
Angels

I am home, home, home, home

Lost in the city of angels
Down in the comfort of strangers
I found myself in the fire burned hills
In the land of a billion lights

One life, one love live
One life, one love live
One life, one love live
One life, one love

The city of angels
The city of angels
The city of angels
The city of angels


This is the most personal song that they ever written.
Jared Leto, the singer made statements about this song, he said "it's the story of my brother and I going to Los Angeles to make our dreams come true. It's a love letter to that beautiful and bizarre land."
He also explained that the song could refer to any place where a person go to fulfill his own dreams.
He stated, "That was a very personal song, obviously, about a specific place: Los Angeles. But it could be... well, when I was a younger kid, it was New York City. That was the place where I went to make my dreams come true, at that time to be a painter, an artist. I was in art school and New York was the place where you went to makes those things come alive. And as I got older, I started studying film and I came out to Los Angeles. But it could be Paris, it could be Shanghai, it could be San Francisco, Palo Alto, anywhere. A place where you go to realize yourself and your dreams."

For me, this song is so beautiful. When I get older, I want to travel the world, that's my dream! I don't want to have kids in the age of 20ish, I hate baby for now, because I still want to know the world before I and boyfriend someday getting married, so getting married IS NOT the no. 1 on the list.

For every girl who (maybe) read this post, GO TRAVEL THE WORLD you bitches! Because we don't know when we die, but the world is for us to travel, to learn about people, learn about culture, learn about differences, learn about everything and get experience that can never be bought. I know, I know, I myself have never go to Los Angeles, but someday I will be there.

And if you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend to travel the world with, just be a lone traveler or ask your best friend to join you so you can share the experience with them.

Don't forget to realize yourself, dream everything that is POSSIBLE to achieve!
