Tentang Sepasang Sepatu

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 waktu kurang lebih lima belas menit untuk berjalan kaki dari kost menuju halte Transjakarta terdekat, lima menit untuk berjalan kaki dalam halte transit Transjakarta yang panjangnya bukan kepalang seperti ular naga dan lima menit lagi untuk berjalan kaki dari halte Transjakarta menuju kantor (Dan jangan lupa waktu yang harus saya habiskan sambil BERDIRI MENUNGGU/TERGENCET DALAM BIS. HOLY MOTHER OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY. Oh, dan ini baru perjalanan berangkat kantor saja. Belum lagi waktu yang saya habiskan ketika pulang di sore hari, haha. Kenapa tidak mencari kostan yang lebih dekat? Karena saya gemar menyiksa diri).

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)

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 from those reactions and I kinda feel the need to address those. Some of those misconceptions are:

1. A friend: "I think I'm an introvert too. Lately, I don't like being around the crowd and I'm not as cheerful as those extroverts anyway."

Okay. Hold your horses.

QUICK REVIEW GALORE

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 some of those short reviews and share it here (The coherent ones with complete sentences, at least. Those with unfinished sentences and random unexplainable words such as "Blergh" or "Buh" will stay forever in the draft folders of my phone)

Let the quick review galore begins (in no specific order)!

A Little Life Update - August 2014

(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 absolutely nothing. This is the year of nothingness for me and I have accepted those fact with literally no hard feeling. However, the niggling feeling that I ought to do something -anything- about my so called life is still hanging above my head and I might have to do something about it sooner or later.

Maybe later (and I'm back to slapping myself again to commit to something. ANYFUCKINGTHING. Gosh)
