Rich Dad Poor Dad

Okay, before you get bored, i wanna tell you that this post will not related with the same-titled book. Hahahaha…

Aku cuma mau menuliskan beberapa opini, dan mungkin seputar keberuntungan dan ketidakberuntungan. Bukan ketidakberuntungan sih, tapi ketidakadilan dunia. Hahaha, sama aja sih sebenernya..

Jujur, sebenernya aku cukup jealous dgn orang2 kaya yg hidupnya seneng2 mulu. I know that jealousy is the most evil crime after arrogance, but you know kadang aku pingin banget bisa buang2 duit kayak mereka, kayak gak dipikir gitu. Beberapa orang bertanggung jawab atas seluruh kemakmuran itu, sementara beberapa orang gak wise menggunakannya jadi kesannya kayak wasted gitu. Let's say, for me money is really matter. Money cant buy happiness, but can buy lot of things that make us happy. Itu faktanya. Ga usah munafik deh. I'll be really happy if i can buy all the things i want, that bag, this shoes, those clother, the jewelery, trip to every destination i want. It's gonna be awesomeeee!!

Nah sebenernya semua ini kembali ke parents masing2 sih, beberapa orang tua gak seroyal itu juga sama anak2nya, mereka tetap juga menyuruh anak2nya untuk bekerja keras. As for me, dari kecil aku ga pernah diberi harta bergelimpahan. Mau minta sesuatu aja harus ngerengek2 banget. Dan tetep ga semua yg aku inginkan bisa aku miliki. Barang2 branded memanggil manggil, tapi tetep aja gak ada yg kebeli. Trip sekeluarga paling jauh cuma ke Bali dan Lombok. Baru pertama kali keluar negeri di tahun 2010, di saat aku udah berumur 22 tahun. But i'm thankful to that condition. Dan aku menyadari kalo aku emang gak berasal dari keluarga kaya, tapi susah juga sih nerima kenyataan kalo kita gak sekaya itu. Apalagi kalo kita berada di komunitas orang2 kaya. Untungnya aku punya temen2 yg sangat baik, gak sombong, bahkan royal banget. Yang paling sedih adalah ketika aku belum bisa mewujudkan mimpi kuliah di luar negeri, bahkan mau coba keluar kota aja ga bisa. My mom could only pay my tuition if i stayed at my hometown. Bahkan biaya kuliah waktu itu dibantu juga sama tante. =(  Sedangkan beberapa orang yg bisa kuliah di luar negeri menyia-nyiakan kesempatan itu, kuliah gak diselesaiin. Life is just unfair.

You know, there are some of my friends that are really lucky. Kuliah di London, Aussie, atau keluar negeri setiap liburan. Gonta ganti gadget terus, keluar kota setiap minggu, beli baju setiap minggu, ke salon selalu. Dan mereka gak perlu kerja keras untuk itu semua! Sering aku berpikir, kayaknya dia nggak kerja, dari mana dia bisa dapet barang2 mahal itu, tas 15 juta, sepatu seminggu 1 yg harga satuannya misal 800 ribu, dan laen2nya. Mereka nggak kerja, for heaven's sake!! Dari mana sih semua uang2 itu, ortu atau pacar? Hahaha, aku kerja dan aku gak bisa beli barang2 branded kayak mereka yg ga kerja. Yeah, jealousy, my bad… Ada juga kasus lain misalnya dalam hal cari pekerjaan. Punya orang tua yg memiliki pengaruh juga bisa mendatangkan suatu keuntungan. Either kalo dia punya perusahaan, atau dia mengenalkan kita ke perusahaan temennya. Kalau ortu punya perusahaan, otomatis salah satu anak bakalan mewarisi, apalagi kalo udah perusahaan gede yg tinggal running doank. Untuk yg bekerja di perusahaan temen ortu atau keluarga sendiri, mereka ga perlu test, bisa mendapatkan posisi yg lebih tinggi tanpa perlu melewati tahapan yg normal, dan otomatis pasti mendapat gaji yg lebih besar. Pokoknya banyak kemudahan yg didapat dalam hal pekerjaan, tinggal apakah mereka mampu perform atau nggak. Malu juga kan yah kalo udah direcommend sama kolega tapi ternyata otaknya kosong.

Well, beberapa orang lahir dgn best privileges, which is their wealthy parents, sementara yg lain hidup dalam kondisi sangat tidak beruntung. Pada akhirnya semua dilihat dari bagaimana kita memandang hidup kita sendiri. Manusia tidak akan pernah puas, that's so true. Orang orang kaya tidak semuanya juga merasa bahagia. Everybody has their own problems. Yang penting adalah kita bisa terus bersyukur pada apa yg ada di depan kita, maka seluruh rasa jealous kita ataupun pikiran2 iri itu tidak akan ada, dan hati akan terus full of joy juga. Right??:)

"The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have."

Fakers

I hate them.

I keep on my mind that they have a bright side, a nice side, i do believe that, but it's still hard to believe them and simply make it like normal, i still have a hate feeling toward them, and i dont know why i can't throw it away.

And the worst part is, they keep doing on the same things that i hated on the first place. Let's say that everything they do, i will always see the flaw.

I read a quote that's really nice and fit them well : “Those who try to be everything to everybody end up being nothing to anyone.”

Why you have to try so hard to be somebody that you're not?! It's freaking annoying! Not everyone will like you, u know.. You try to be nice and lovely and helpful and everything, try to be the person that we can count, try to do something more and more and more, when we don't need it... Have you ever heard that less is more?

Peace. :)

Berkelana ke Pasar Uler

PaUl.. Ternyata terkenal juga nih si Paul, krn banyak juga orang yg belanja disini.. Mungkin buat warga Jakarta udah ga asing kali ya.. But for me.. Uh, oh, perjuangan banget buat ke Paul!! Mennn…

So last Sunday, bareng beberapa temen kantor, kita memutuskan utk pergi ke Paul, semata-mata karena penasaran aja barang2 apa yg ada disana. Karena di kantor ada semacem pengulak barang2 dari Paul, dan yg dia jual mulai dari baju2 Zara, Mango, Forever 21, tas2, all made in Indonesia, all with crazy price. Blouse2 ato top gitu cuma 30-40 ribu aja.. Isnt it crazy?!

Perjalanan dimulai pagi2 dari kost, by bemo (for heaven’s sake, I hate bemo!) berangkat lah gue menuju mal CL, dari sana mengarah ke halte busway Grogol trus berangkat ke Slipi Kemanggisan, menunggu kedua manusia itu dateng, pake lama pula!! Hahahaha… Intinya untuk mengarah ke PaUl, kita harus turun di Halte Plumpang, jejerannya Sunter Kelapa Gading. Yak, setelah turun di halte Plumpang, belok ke kanan langsung, disitu tepatnya adalah bawah jembatan, ada semacem pos polisi gitu. Abis itu langsung nyebrang ke sisi jalan satunya terus jalan aja ke arah kanan sampai nemuin jalan super kecil di kiri. Semacem gang gitu, dgn rumah2 agak bronx di samping2nya. Abis itu kita akan naik getek menyebrangi kali item nan bau (please pay 1000 rupiah), dan di seberang adalah Paul. Fyi, geteknya cuma yg ditarik pake tali gitu, dan tuh kali bau paling lebarnya cuma 10 meter. Ngok!

So finally sampai lah kita di Paul.. Dan pasar itu adalah pasar super kecillllll, yg toko2nya ada di kanan kiri trus di tengah2 cuma gang selebar 1 meter. Dan orang2 tumpah ruah disana. Quite disappointed, soalnya gak dapet apa2 di Paul dan gak ada yg oke, mostly disana jual baju2 cowok, sepatu2 olahraga sama baju bola. Ada beberapa kios parfum juga. Hampir gak ada baju cewek, dikit banget. Tapi ternyata ini yg di sisi kanan pasar. Di sisi kiri pasar mayoritas adalah baju2 cewe, tapi lagi2 gak ada model yg megang. Yang jelas di dalem amat sangat panas, dan untuk mengitari satu pasar itu udah bikin kaki cukup pegel loh! Efek kelamaan liat2 dan gak produktif menghasilkan apa2 kali yaaa.. Menderita + capek di jalan tapi hasilnya gak maksimal.

Gue cuma beli 1 baju seharga 35 rebong.. Tapi temen2 pada ngeborong lumayan banyak sih.. Bingung ye, padahal hampir ga ada yg oke.

So the conclusion is : I will not go there again… Hahahaha… :)))

 

Peace,

Love Ends Here… NOT.

Hey, I just met you and this is crazy, but here’s my number, so call me maybe!

This song keeps playing and playing everyday around me, do u have another song, oh dear radio in Jakarta?? Okay, actually there’s no correlation between the words I wrote above and my thoughts for this post. Haha..

Well, I have lot of friends that really concern about my love life, I mean they always try to introduce me to some new random guys. It’s not only one guy, but two, three, four, five. Pleaseeee, I’m not that desperate. Haha. But still, got no one that can amaze me, or not yet.

It’s hard to say, but I couldn’t save my last relationship. I mean, I tried so hard to do it, but it happened vice versa. There’s no thing such a ‘one man show’ in a relationship, it’s a two way thing, two people, two habits, two differences.

I felt kinda sad at first, but maybe it’s the best. Finally, I realized that I actually just waited for his confession this whole time. All my galau things, it disappeared once I met him, heard the explanation, and received an apology.. I felt relieve that everything was finally clear. I accepted it gratefully. I really should be back to my standard.. haha.

Back again, I never thought it as my priority, I don’t know why people really make a fuss about it. :| Sometimes I question myself, did I do normal? Why I had no intention for stuff like that, for now. I believe it will not end here, He provides the best for me. Maybe I just need a lil sign and faith. :))

Good night, beautiful world.

24 y.o

Welcome to Club 24, dear ME! Yeah right, time moves so fast, I cant believe I’m 24 already! Almost quarter century, for heaven’s sake! haha.. There were some sadness in this year’s bday, mostly because of the same person who promised some things. Too bad it didn’t happen. I’m sick of being a faithful person toward him. I decided it’s enough. Enough the drama!

On my bday, I went with my sis n bf, just a casual Sunday night hangout like usual. Ate at The Duck King which was completely robbed me. Haha! Darn you, sis! I already craved for Holycow! hmmm…

At Sunday afternoon, had a breakfasting time with my girls, but the cake came at Wednesday! They delivered it to my office. I couldn’t believe they bought the First Love cake for me! Just like what I wish! hihihi.. It’s a kind of cake that makes me happy only by eating that.. Haha.. Thanks, girls <3

At 16 of August when I arrived at the airport, my besties have waited for me with some crazy stuff for my bday. There were spanduk, cake, balloons, and I had to bring all of it, in front of many people, at the airport!! I was embarassed enough by the way, but couldn’t help my laughter. I’m happy to have them! :)

Thanks for this 24 years of my life, Lord Jesus. 24 years of happiness, silliness, joy, stupid stuff, laughter, tears, every little feeling inside my world.. It's all His grace and blessings! Also thanks to family n friends for the wishes. I’m full of gratitude! :)
