Distracting

Long time no see.

It has been really long time I haven't updated this blog.

First of all, I had deleted my personal blog to make sure I have moved on with what the posts had already written. I am not eager to rewind what had been there in my past, especially those ended-up-sad feelings. I already learned that to let it go, you have to accept what has been there. More you deny, more deeper the memory will absorbed which eventually hallucinates you impossible to move on with your life. Whatever it is: life, love, or circle of friendship, once you feel it has to be left in your past, you have to accept that sorrow then release it gradually out of your mind.
Yes I know sometime I blame myself or blame something I can blame to if bad things hit me which leave me an infinite regret. I skip to take lesson and degrade the value of my life. "Good or bad, there's always something you pick as a summary" is I don't consider in advance. Then I learn to be happy and tackle unexpected stuff. I don't wanna overthinking me takes over me from my border of happiness. That's why I am typically less panic if an unfortunate situation passes by because I know there's always something which will make me nodding and figure out why.

Then another thing I feel stronger roots in my life is I feel alone and lonely.
I feel like after college life I have to face it alone. I know my fellows are now with their own schedules and it makes me sick. I feel physical distance is a big problem now. I feel those who can comfort me are out of reach and unavailable. Yes, several of them are still asking me going out and I am thanking God for that yet perhaps I need an extra dose. I feel lonely at its most. I feel lonely and I have no idea why it appears suddenly. Yes, lonely doesn't have to. It can be there knocking you out, kick you down, and make you feel unwanted. But again, I stay looking a half full instead of a hall empty. I realize God is always there for me and I distract myself by social media and sleeping. By now, I use to tackle loneliness and make it befriended.

And here I am.
Writing as my job hasn't been busy yet.
I manage several causal things.
And hope by coming back to this will be able to distract myself.

First Day

Yey, today is my first day working in Multipolar!

I woke up at 5am (yes, I was late doing Subuh Prayer) and scrolled down social media for an hour later. I took Ojek to get my office at 7am and it was VERY early to come since still nobody and I had no access to enter 'cause I didn't have any ID card (later I was given a temporary ID Card till my official one released) So I decided to have breakfast and I had to walk far till I found one, what a sweated morning! BTW, the distance between where I rent room and office later I realized could be reached by foot. So, up coming mornings there will be a "by-foot-go-to-office" program in order to save money LOL. At 8am I went back to office and asked the security around to open the door with his authorized card while he was asking "Whom you wish to meet ?" And I proudly replied " I am new employer here and plan to meet Mbak Brigith (HRD)" then he let me in and I sit alone in the lobby and still no body inside. First impression, I am keen on the office, it was exactly like my dream look of office since I several time had visited some offices in Jakarta, this one is no different. Clean, integrated with technology, and cubicle. Around 9am Mbak Brigith (I don't know how to spell her name correctly tbh) came to me and invited me to a room where she floored detail of my sign agreement. Time flied and here I am waiting for leaving office time at 5.30pm. Today I had a meeting with mbak Anggun who happened to be 10 months senior employer whom I am going to take over her current project because she wants to be dedicated with another project. Conducted 1,5 hours of meeting and she attempted her best to explain me what to do and what she had done before with this project. She spoiled me that next week she will handle it to me in an one-week of monitoring.

BTW, my position is Project Coordinator Trainee for upcoming one year. The general duty is to build relationship with projected client and give aid to Project Manager while in parallel it may be a platform of learning process. Overall, I think I can stay here longer and feel comfortable. Hope the fire is going to burn day by day, catch you later!

My 2016 Homecoming

It's my third post and quite similar with the first one which is homecoming!

I'll spoil you some captured stuff during my one-month homecoming, it was relieving after I fought with my final year thesis and it was time to go home and met mom, sister, and my grown up son-in-low whom I usually call him "Nak" which is short for "Anak" or in English "Son". I already had one tho I hadn't married yet but who cares then LOL he grew quick than I expected and he was the naughtiest 4 years-old boy you can imagine. He was all about his world and sometime he did trouble at home. But, 4 years what you can expect then. I was cautious everytime he moved or played around home to make sure everything was running well. Notionally, he is mere expressive and wants to be a center of attention since he was the youngest in the family and the age gap is far. So he knows it and he becomes pamper a bit. I usually have my chat with him to deliver good thought and no idea he gets it or not but he always nods signaling positive. I always loved to take selfie with him since he was photogenic but most of time he knew I wanted it bad and he played hard to get. Yet I always ended up with insisted him by a soft yelling at him "come onnnn, you want it or not" then he merely laughed like satisfied bounced me up and down. Here collage photo come.

First One, he was expressive and nailed the pose. He was creative in making various poses and look at me, similar face expression LOL

Second, I intended to show you one but one ain't enough right! This was how we spent our time at home while securing mom did her chores, I mean cooking or nap.

Then another important thing to spell is, during my time there I visited Pariaman twice, a city next to Padang. First Lebaran Day (Moeslim Fasting Celebration of Holiday) then with my HS mates to visit Angso Duo Island. Both were different story. In Lebaran Day, my family, I mean my sister, drove there and we had some occasional family visit around and ended up to have lunch in Pantai Gandoriah, the most famous beach of the city. Unfortunately I didn't capture how it like the foods but later with my HS mates I did. It was a half-day visit because my sister had headache and had to rest before she worked the day after, plus the whole family left in Pariaman was few. Most of them had been out of city so we didn't spend much time here strolling around. We handed Mini Bika before heading back to Padang, it was delicious I guaranteed you.

The appearance of Mini Bika

Next with my HS mate. It was more freedom rather than with my family HAHA the foods was like this,

The best food ever, ever, and ever. I even could take aside my diet program while starring at these particular plates.

Hungry! And another best thing was it ain't pricey, so affordable for all kind of level. I love to have this information that everything lies in this city (both Padang and Pariaman) are cheap, that's why whoever gets their homecoming the first thing they catch is food. You couldn't imagine how cheap all of those plates. Not even more than 20k-30k Rupiahs (1.5-2.3 USD) but all you get was man's satisfaction. Heaven!

Then the island, we took a speed boat but with the scariest sea-journey ever because the wave was high with high speed wind. Along the trip, I kept myself prayed and didn't even think to capture photo or video. When you arrived, voila the island was white sand OMG. Lonely a bit but still some visitors there. This was the bridge you may meet at the gate.

First time here and it was all hypnotized since my first step.

Then similar with common beach hopping, we played with the sand, strolled around the island (The island was small but we stopped at point where we thought the best photo spot ever), and got wet. There was no significant attraction but banana boat. In the center of island, there were a lot of photo spot which had been decorated by local people and you paid nothing for that. Still, you might give donation into the box in each spot.

BTW for your travel information, we can reach Angso Duo Island by train from Padang to Pariaman with only 5k Rupiahs (0.38 USD, So affordable) and the departure time is around 8-9 in the morning. Yet, you may have another option by bus which has no departure time but you have to spend more money around 18-20k Rupiahs (1.3-1.5 USD). By train, it takes 1-2 hours before arriving to Pariaman and fortunately your station is in the beach of Gandoriah so you merely require to walk 5-10 minutes to the spot where can take you off to the island by paying 30-40k Rupiah (2.3-3 USD) for all-round trip back and forth. No island entrance payment (it's already said cheap by me) and you can enjoy the whole island while the boat will always waits you going back at the harbour. No time limit in enjoying paradise tho! But if you plan to have train back to Padang, you have to start in queue at 2pm and the train will take you back at 4pm because it's always full of heads who want to have the train. I personally recommend you to have bus going back to Padang so you can enjoy the island more without afraid of running out of train ticket. Not even more then 10 USD to enjoy all of virgin island and the food.

I love island and see, since the earlier of my age.

Tried to have some jumped-pose yet eventually failed HAHA candid.

Miss my time to have holiday and hope I can enjoy another beach near future. That's all and Ayo Jelajah Indonesia, Kenali Negerimu, Cintai Negerimu, Indonesia~

Summary at Glance

Hi, it's my second post since months ago even I don't realize it has been months since my last post.

Here the summary, I graduated on July and since then I have been looking for settle down of employment and I have been through several recruitment process which  most of them ended rejected. My latest updates are I have been booked a job and still waiting confirmation from another two which I predict shall have announced at least at the end of this month, November. Tho I have secured a job but the HRD officer merely told me she could wait me until late of November as I promised her but if something will occur along the way, perhaps I will negotiate with her second time since I already know her well and I think if I explain her my side, hopefully she will get it. TBH, I am eager to work in this company since I need it as soon as I can be but she knew me had been another process so she kindly decided to let me wait it. How nice she was. Commonly, HRD officer would insist you to choose between sign this contract or give this to another candidate but she didn't. That's why when I read her chat, I was totally touched and appreciated her way. This company after I browsed the review, spoiled me all positive. They said it is good for fresh graduate, the work is not under pressure, the salary is competitive, and you will be REALLY taught during your training program. There's no negative review I read in some trustworthy job portals. Plus, this company is a part of a big group and has been playing an important role in industry. I guess she wants me to complete the recruitment I had done earlier so I can decide where to port myself.

Then, since latest 3 months, I have been spending time with Arsyad who happens to have a near rent-house with mine. He was my ex roommate in my first year and it seems we have a little reunion everyday HAHA he usually has his breakfast in my room and in paralel we have a short chat. We are keen on playing badminton and together we build a strong mind of positive to pass this kind of period. His background is mining which unfortunately happens to fall down yet he told me couple days ago price of coal has been raising and it approaches its normal value which later signed by some coal mining companies have begun to open vacancy such as Sucofindo and PT Antam. Together during this job-seeking period, we decided to earn money by teaching and we have been doing this 2-3 months till now. We have the same agency which I introduced him after I was introduced by Fandi, another batakese in my circle.

Fandi, he owns motorcycle and it makes we sometime spend time by strolling around Bandung. The last time was last Saturday when we, Arsyad Fandi and Fauzi, went to Punclut to have dinner. We were afraid at first considering recent cases of street criminal but we were reminded that the day was Saturday and everybody was on the road, in other word, crowded. So the possibility it might occur is lesser. Thank God, we went there then got back safe and sound tho' in the way of coming back the tire of motorcycle which I rode with Arsyad was flat so I had to walk until we found any local tire repairment spot while Arsyad kept riding in no speed. That was mere a small accident so we could have a story ahead. After arriving in Cisitu we played UNO card with consequence whoever got lost, one of their social media account had to be pleasure hacked by any post which decided by those who won, and damn I got once at the end when we decided to go back our place at midnight. That was the night when I recalled the time I was in dorm 4 years ago which made me recognize those batakeses. 

Now, I spend my time by YouTube thing, social media checking, and fulfilling any recruitment process if any. That's all. I have been exploring SoundCloud too but I think I get bored because I don't have any idea what's going to be uploaded there continuously. Then tonight I remember I have this blog and potential to spend my time with. As Ellen once said in her show, if you are stuck in expressing something then write.

That's all for tonight, I'll update you soon.

First Post!

Hi there! I made this blog to refill my no-schedule holiday and after college life ahead. I think it's necessary to have something to write about life and hope I can be maturer along the journey.

I don't expect much from this but I know I will spoil a lot of things since I love storytelling hmm let's see whether someone outside there randomly found this blog! Wk

I just graduated this month, fresh graduate tho, and since last one year I have been insecure about my future career. But I don't let myself stuck on being that, so I have already applied to some vacancies. Some have been responded and some still waiting for deadline date. BTW, some vacancies don't put a clear info at their ads, I am a lil bit confused sometimes whether it's internship, management trainee, or just graduate program. Personally, I'm eager to have a permanent employment so I'm not much interested on intern thing or program. NB: even tho I graduated, but my ceremony thing will held in late of July, so excited to see finally my fellow students and I wearing that uniform!

I will have my homecoming in 3 days OMG it has been a year and can't wait to see changes over my homeland. I will show you gallery of my last year's homecoming moments, miss mom definitely.

Sunset view from my house xoxo I live in higher land but it doesn't mean I am not able to enjoy sunset!

The loneliness of the city. No traffic with a virgin road

My boy! My little yearned boy! Can't wait to carry him around. He is a lil bit naughty but I still miss him a lot

City's open green space with a standing iconic house. You can guess what root I am coming from then

One of the nearest masjid. The city is full of Azan. The atmosphere of Ramadhan is extremely felt.

No sunbathing here unfortunately but at least we've got seashore in the town

Flashing back a year ago and I promise I will capture more this year's ed of homecoming! The city is now growing with the numbers of restaurants and go-to places but what I need is a proper cinema, XXI please in the town WK I have been waiting for that but hmmm last time I heard the building was under construction but it stopped for a financial reason why oh why WK

And beside family, and what's properly to be next than high school colleagues! Some of us had graduated and even work! Should I be more patient to meet them all?

That's it in my first post xoxo hope you stranger enjoy the whole passage!
