Suatu hari, ketika saya sedang iseng menyempatkan diri berjalan-jalan ke sebuah pusat perbelanjaan di Jakarta Utara karena sedang suntuk (which, unfortunately, happens a lot lately), saya melihat sepasang sepatu yang menarik perhatian saya. Saat itu, saya memang berniat mencari sepatu baru yang nyaman untuk dipakai berjalan kaki jauh menyusuri rute kostan baru-kantor yang cukup panjang. Sebagai gambaran sederhana, setiap harinya, saya menghabiskan...

The Annoying Introvert: The One Who Won't Stop Talking Once They Think They're Okay (And The One Who Stops Talking The Very Next Minutes)
Posted by Si Mbak on 1:57 AM with No comments

So my last blog post kinda spurs some interesting reaction from people around me, which kinda encourages me to write another blog post which revolves around introversion and panic/anxiety attack. Yay! (See? Once I talk, there's no stopping me from talking. Haha)
There are some misconceptions about introversion and panic/anxiety attack which I noticed...

QUICK REVIEW GALORE
Posted by Si Mbak on 6:30 AM with No comments
I have this little habit of pretending to be a critic and making reviews every time I read or watch something. I usually type a brief review with my phone after I finish reading or watching something with the intention to post it later in this blog. However, since I have this chronic laziness to re-write and edit every drafts made on the spur of the moment, not every drafts then made into blog posts. Today, I have decided to compile...
A Little Life Update - August 2014
Posted by Si Mbak on 4:51 AM with No comments
(Prelude: Gawd. My brain is an
obvious mess. I can't think straight and currently I am forcing myself to write
again. I am forcing myself to concentrate and move my fingers and write
something. Anything)
So here I am.
You know, if someone decides to take a closer look at my life this past seven
months (going eight, this month. Which reminds me that in the next 2 months, I
will be officially 29 years old. Yikes), they might see...

Agree To Disagree Edition: Pakaian, Objektifikasi Perempuan dan Rape Culture
Posted by Si Mbak on 12:39 AM with No comments

Salah seorang teman baik saya membuat postingan blog singkat nan menarik yang mengingatkan saya pada salah satu draft blog saya sendiri yang sudah lama tersimpan (you might not believe this, but I have a bulk of blog post drafts - most of them written as my way to procrastinate because I dont want to do my real jobs. Wait. Do I have a job? *snicker*...

Nah kejadian lagi kan.
Let me start this blog post by saying this:
It's never OKAY to talk about someone's physical appearance without being asked for! God!
ARGGGHHHH!! (source: Reluctant Femme)

Talk and Be Nice
Posted by Si Mbak on 9:49 AM with No comments
Beberapa hari yang lalu, saya bertemu dengan seorang teman baik dari luar kota yang kebetulan tengah singgah di Jakarta. Singkat kata, saya pun pergi untuk menghampiri dia di sebuah hotel untuk bertemu dan inilah kalimat pertama yang meluncur keluar dari mulut teman saya begitu melihat saya nongkrong cantik di hotel:
"Wah tambah gem... Eh, tambah subur Mak!"
Haha. Saya sebenarnya sudah menduga munculnya komentar semacam ini bagi seseorang...

Perempuan Kadaluarsa
Posted by Si Mbak on 8:29 AM with No comments

Ibarat barang, saya baru tahu kalau perempuan pun punya tanggal kadaluarsa.
Cerita saya ini berawal ketika hari Sabtu kemarin, saya sedang duduk-duduk santai tanpa alasan sendirian ditemani laptop, secangkir kopi yang sudah setengah habis dan seabrek blog drama Korea untuk dibaca. Saat itu tiba-tiba saja saya bertemu dengan seorang kolega...

In light of my recent unfortunate events, I learned a few wonderful things that I thought I should put on my blog:
1. Riding public transportation in Jakarta sucks. Seriously. There are legit reasons why I have this major fear when it comes on riding public transportation such as metromini, ojek or Jakarta bajai (some of my friends know very well...
