Life Updates & Current Read: “Walk of Shame” by Lauren Layne

From a book I read: Walk of Shame

Read this book so it feels like I’m in Manhattan πŸ₯°πŸ€ͺ Walk of Shame by Lauren Layne. Loved it so far πŸ˜†

I just had a bit hectic week, which then resulted in my life went out of control..

The days went like this: I stressed or too focused on something for more than 3 days or more, I rarely cook, had poor sleep, my exercise sessions were often below target, could not focus on other simple things, sleepy eyes everyday.. my mind was not clear… I ate burgers probably 3 times this week… (either it’s PMS or just a stressing week or both 😞) The last burger was great tho, it’s crispy chicken burger with not-overpowering sesame dressing.

Just today, I had a chance for a peaceful weekend morning sleep and took today slower. Recovery was still in progress. I found social media was too chaotic for me now, so I watched youtube for cartoon (Atashinchi) or cat videos and read novel. And here I am, dumped my thought on my own blog because I felt like I need to do something good for myself, like hobbies..

Talking about blog, I think the current theme still not suite me well. It’s nice, but still not feeling like me πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

Happy weekend! From me with these sleepy eyes 🐼

Take Care of Our Mental Health

So yesterday was World Mental Health Day. That explained the many posts about this topic these days. Here are my favorites

From kak Affi (Female Daily)

Thank you ka Affi for the words. I’m doing that, the “taking temporary break”, more like shifting my center of life actually. I need some breaks for the shifting and still progressing..

And this quote

Be gentle with yourself, you’re doing the best you can

Walk to Work

My 2nd time walking to work. Today with mba Ika and Nanda. I took a walk not because the public transportation (angkot) is not operating (because my dad thought so), but for exercising πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ

A great thing of working in Bandung, I can walk to work in cool weather and see the greeneries 🌳

Not bad haha

Hopefully we keep consistent doing this walk to work~

Hello!

Hello again hahaha it’s been so long. Sorry I have been busy with the wedding preparation (and tried as much to keep the wedding news secret until near the day) Phew~ I have been wanting to write (the draft) so much about the wedding preparation since long. However, that may have to wait because I have not made any draft hahahahaha.

If you know me and have questions about wedding preparation, feel free to ask me through Whatsapp (since some of my friends already did) :p

Today I want to write about today or maybe the last 24 hours or maybe about career. LOL.

I feel great today despite only getting 2 hours of sleep zzzz. Why? Because yesterday night, until 4 a.m. today I did a UX task which I have not done for some months (calm, let’s not cry, there’s a story behind this). If you know me well or know how my sleep habit was in boarding school, you know how I cannot stay awake all night. Last night I made it! I didn’t sleep until 4 a.m. working on the presentation, no music, no tv. The task I did yesterday, it’s like a wake-up call of what should I do as my profession :p

I feel like that kind of work is the kind that I want to put my heart into it… well, I did try to love what I do… and that’s a different feeling.. with the last night task, it feels easier to put my heart into my work (whatever the result is)

Perhaps doing things-that-I-want-to-put-my-heart-into give me more energy instead of making me tired.Β 

Well, I still need to sleep tho.. but, I feel in a great mood today because of the work. I hope I can experience more of this kind of feeling in the future days~Β 

Praise be to Allah πŸ™‚

Morning Question

What should I do today to make myself happy?

Good foods.

Quite & calm commute so I can listen to a podcast.

I can read novel. Must finish my work first tho.

What else..?

[Update]

I made this post to remind me to create happiness for myself. Because I think, i’m not supposed to expect others to make me happy. ☺

The Hometown

Used to love & hate the city. Love it because my home is here and the foods. Hate the heat, traffic jam, & flood πŸ˜‚. Now that the city’s facility getting better (trotoars, benches, and little parks along the road) it’s more liveable & enjoyable (for holiday :p )

Today I Made

 

Finally a new post!

Hi All, it’s been a long time. Phew~

I tried to blog from WordPress mobile app, sadly, the images were often failed to upload (i don’t know why)

Anyway, I do have some stories to share and finally some motivations to live up this blog again (yeay!)

Truth is the last 2 months were not the easiest time. Life has its ups & downs, after all. I was sad, cried (had meltdown) easily, a bit lost. However, I’m currently progressing toward the better me. I decide to just do what makes me happy: live by my own rules :)) LOL

 

Maybe I should write down my rules until I have rules like Gibbs’ (NCIS) :p

Life as INTJ: Read, Archive

There are some days when I don’t feel like talking or interact with anyone except family and ka Emil. Then I think how to make myself feel better. It turns out that archiving chats can do that. I feel less overwhelming. No, I never have hundred or thousand chat notification haha. However, as an introvert, sometimes looking at too many chats (even the read ones) overwhelms me. Having too many chats on a chat list is like being in a crowded room even though I’m talking to no one.

Based on this psychology junkie article (https://www.psychologyjunkie.com/2016/08/09/12-stress-busting-techniques-intjs/) “Too much noise or sensory input” is one of the things that cause stress to INTJ. I consider the crowded room metaphor too much noise. LOL.

I know this sounds weird. Nonetheless, it works for me haha.

This is what’s left on my WhatsApp after I archived other messages. I did this to my Line, too, which most of its chats are from official/promo account LOL.
