ROSY RENES

I remembered reading this quote several years ago and I also remembered thinking that this quote is beautiful. After doing some research, I found that the quote belongs to Jac Vanek, a designer. It goes like this. You are the books you read, the films you watch, the music you listen to, the people you meet, the dreams you have, the conversations you engage in. You are what you take from these. You are the sound of the ocean, the breath of fresh air, the brightest light and the darkest corner. You are a collective of every experience you have had in your life. You are every single day. So drown yourself in a sea of knowledge and existence. Let the words run through your veins and let the colors fill your mind. Reading those words now, I still find them beautiful. It's amazing how such small things, compiled or not, can define us as a person. Maybe it isn't fair to define a person solely on the small things they do, since the person's past and present is also somet...

Hi. Yes I'm a bad blogger and I've been away for 2 years and yes I promise I'll try to be better. Here is a list of what had happened while I've been away: I've been busy with college (obviously) and AIESEC I've got some family stuff to deal with, and it's still not done yet at the very moment I'm writing this post. In 2017 until last January I'm doing my job as a VP in Outgoing Global Volunteer in AIESEC in Bandung, doing some tutoring at school, and going crazy for a course I impulsively took: Formal Methods. In the end, I got a C. Well, yeah I can't say anything about it. Currently, I'm doing my undergraduate thesis which is due in two months.  Even though I'm done with AIESEC last January, my last experience as a VP is filled with, (ahem) lots of drama (no joke) and I'm still recovering from some self-issues. And I think, to recover, I can take all the time I need. Ramadhan is coming, so let me apologize for any mistakes...

It's been a while. "There's beauty in simplicity." The quote above teaches us to embrace things the way they are. It is good to accept things the way they are and be accepted for who you are. I personally love that quote. Sometimes we wondered, why are things, people and this world, are so complicated?  Things become complicated once we want to change it. If you want something to change, to be better, you must not wish for it to be simple, because a change is never simple. It shook the status quo,   and sometimes it even made us question our faith and what we believed in. But it is also good, because there's always something new on the menu for us to learn.

The lamplights near my home, replacing the stars. Pretty, but at the same time it's sad, because the light pollution disturbs the stars observation.  And I thought,  " So the lamp-lighter got many lamps to light and to put out now, and the photo-hunters got a new object, and the star-gazers are disappointed, because the stars are missing. " [ Lamplights ] [ Tilt-shift ] [ Bokeh + tilt-shift ] P.s. These photos were taken about a week ago, when I came home. Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

It's been a month since I live in the dorm, and this is my second week since I started my studies/classes. How's college? Fun, yet not easy. New friends, new problems, many activities, more homework, more study hours. In this second week I discover that time management is essential . If I can't divide my time for my studies and my extra activities well, then I guess I'm gonna have myself divided by those two things. My class is IF-38-01, consisting 40 people I guess, and there's 15 girls among those 40 students. My dorm roommate is... hmm, how do you say it? Sick? Cool? I prefer crazy and awesome to describe them. My roommates are very fun and cooperative. And they are LOUD .  P.s. Maybe in the future I can't write as often as I used in this past few months, due to the amount of homework and studies I need to do. I have to study for like, at least, 10 hours a day after class (or maybe class is included?)  

Happy Lebaran 1435 H everyone!   Please forgive me if I ever make mistakes to you. Minal aidzin wal faidzin, mohon maaf lahir dan batin :)

Posting about UN or the National Exam is not interesting anymore for me, even though it's H-9 now. Therefore I think, if you talk about it, it has become a  cliché   between highschool students here. Just wish me luck for my last exam in highschool.

Honestly, it's fun to be a part of a group, to be among friends you know. You'll feel safe and sound. But when you're all alone, either because you're pulling away or being left behind, you'll feel emptiness. You'll feel empty, lonely and sad. But what's interesting from being all alone, is that you'll get some brand new different perspective and a rare opportunity to know yourself better. And you will learn to handle your thoughts and emotions better in public. Plus, some kind of happiness to be free to be yourself. So, I think, even though right now I feel empty, as if I'm left behind, maybe, being alone isn't so bad after all.

Yep. 6 jam menuju H-1. Karena nanti di hari Minggu, aku ikutan OSN fisika. Seminggu ini kita baru mulai belajar intensif. Just wish my physics team luck! I hope there won't be any empty paper.

I haven't post anything here for too long. So, I'm going to just post this a-little-bit-too-short of a post just to give November a post. I really am too busy to write anything.

" Di atas langit, masih ada langit." -Pepatah orang Cina. I like those words. I'll always like it. Because it reminds me to stay low profile and down to earth, and reminds me that there is always somebody who is better than me.
