Lesson Learned

I moved to Jakarta around one and a quarter year s ago and referring to my current job, I will probably going to stay in this city for quite longer. Well, long enough to adress myself as a Jakartan –a label I don’t really fancy but still, I need to get used to it, and maybe, love it somehow- The interesting part is, I simply define ‘Jakartan’ as ‘a person who lives in Jakarta’ but according to some of my friends, or other people in general, apparently the meaning of this word is so much more than that. These particular friends who have been seeing my stories and posts on instagram tell me that I’ve become Jakartan because I hang out at malls and cafes a lot, and sometimes at  the karaokes too, if I may add.

So, Imma brighten this cuaca mendung a little bit with a story about my peculiar ally. Yep, an ally. Like ‘black widow-hawkeye in avengers: civil war’ kind of ally. I met this person the moment I entered my previous job. My first impr...

Jakarta , March 7 th 201 8 What a nice date to release this super late post. lol I am sorry. Referring to its title, this post normally was  meant to bereleased by the end of the year but since I was too busy doing something stupid –well of course. I mean, what else could it be- I had to delay on writing this useless list. On my defense, it is not like some people lives were depend on it and the world would be thrown into chaos without this extremely important list anyway so… let this slide please Ehehehe *literally laughs in Patrick Star creepy-clueless style But! Before we are going further to the main topic, I feel the need to make some of blog related announcements . First of all , I am planning to revive this blog by writing more often in 2018. Using ‘2017-was-a-rough-year-for-me-so-I-didn’t-have-time-to-write-insignificant-posts’ as an excuse sounds so lame and just make me feel more pitiful tbh.
