First post on 2014..

... dedicated to the one and only Wengky Ariando!

Who is he?

Uh but anyway as this is my first post on 2014, should I be congratulating you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR? Its already february but whatever I havent blogging since last year lol. Seize the year folks!

Back to bussiness, to answer it you just need a few seconds to type his name on google and click enter! But long story short, he is one of my closest mate (eh iya ga cun kita temenan kan?) who recently share me about this quarter-life-crisis. And well according to this link I am having that kind of syndrome at the moment, hell yeah.

1. You’ve been daydreaming about doing something crazy.
2. …but you feel paralyzed by indecision.

3. You feel increasingly nostalgic for your high school and college days.

4. The idea of making a budget terrifies you.

5. You’re starting to think of your dating life differently.

6. You have a sudden, intense fear of failure.

7. You’re bored with your friends.

8. You constantly compare yourself to your friends who are your age…

9. …or your parents when THEY were your age.

10. You feel like your twenties aren’t turning out how you expected they would.

Me myself already feel 8/10 from that list since last year (at the time when I finally finish my undergraduate thesis) but thank God I dont feel like constantly living in such syndrome. It is a thing which somehow rises in unexpected time, like when your classmate get married (read point 8 lol). At such time, I likely feel so unsignificant for hours or days but then I see a light at the end of it as by either searching a sanctuary or listening to certain music. A quite and comfy food court, breezy songs (London Grammar, Laura Marling, and friends), and a cup of cold coffee or green tea will be the best combination for recent me. Even when I managed to get a grip of myself for a while, it doesnt mean I fully overcome this quarter-life-crisis thing. I still frequently lost, unsure, etc like those list above mentioned. An exact answer may not come immediately to our life but if we patient enough, always be the best of ourselves, and get closer to God everyday, hope still there remained for us :)

So how about you guys? Mind to share the story with me?

Oh and about point 3. I DO MISS MY DAYS ON HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE, like a lot.

XOXO,

Icha

You think you have the world on the palm of your hands?

There is time when I was afraid of being jobless and ended up spamming posts in this stranded personal blog which no one ever read but hey.. now I aint that jobless and neglecting this blog became naturally unavoidable. This current job is somehow complicated for me because I still uhm half-harted on workin on it but then my quest of finding (or searching) what I want hasnt end yeah so; for the time being I had to enjoy this and be more grateful (which I am). From 9-5 on Monday-Friday, staring on my screen with arcgis, google earth, global mapper on stand by maybe sound uninteresting and it could be more boring if we had to wait for the data which is being processed for yearsss. Well not exactly yearsss with three s's but it is unpredictably long and sit on your desk while had nothing to do is waste of time but thank God we live in the era when wifi connection is a compulsary at every office. I guess I made great decision of spending my leisure office time this week in these following sites:

Notions & Notations of A Novice Cook

Followed her on tumblr quite some time ago but myinstinct to drool over infatuating food and beverages (well I am on fasting those days actually) made me stalk her timeline again. You'll find so many mouth watering provisions here, with extra credit on her way to capture it.. make your heart burst of joy just by watching over pretty pictures of lemon squares or matcha pancakes. She also has that taste of music yknow.            

 

Diary of: THE RIOTOUS BELLE

Also been a fan for some time now. If you know me in person ofc you can tell I am not that super stylish girlfriend with up to date radar of fashion but I ALWAYS get this euphoric feel whenever see right person wearing right outfit. Sonia Eryka is one of my fav, alongside Diana Rikasari and Evita Nuh believe me or not I kinda check their blog regularly. Lately I also fall for Anastasia Siantar and Clara Devi, they are also a gorg and rock every piece their wear.. so many beautiful ladies out here and here I am only worshippin em, my life is a travesty.

last.fm

It is near end of 2013 and here I am just signing in for last.fm meheheheh. I never know everything can be so easy to follow up my fave band, discovering new music, and else. Currently scrobble everything I listen on media player and a bit dissapointed it can be scrobbled for GOM Player just bcs I almost listen all my fave kpop song thru their music videos not their ilegal downloaded mp3 tracks.

Wikipedia

Imagine the world without wikipedia *shuddering shoulders* I somehow have this habit when everytime I read things I automatically search either it subject/object, names, places, events, things by typing it on google and lurking what wikipedia said about them. Wait lemme check latest thing I concerned on..

Oh well kind of abstract dont they?

It seems there are loads of running tabs on firefox when you have nothing to do. Just when you think you well-informed about what happening on vicinity or around the world, you read things and realized you know nothing *deep exhale*

Uhm seem I still have errands to do on this lovely saturday, so catch ya later.

XOXO,

Icha

Ghibli's H&M

Hayao Miyazaki.

Studio Ghibli.

Those two names make a magical effect, very imaginative yet such touching animation. Hayao Miyazaki (b.1941) is a film director, animator, manga artist, producer, and screenwriter with career that already spanned over five decade. With his recent claimed to retire from the business, I suddenly want to rewatch all his and/or studio ghibli movies again but poor me, I only had chances to watch these four from them all: Spirited Away - Howl Moving Castle - My Neighbor Totoro - Princess Mononoke.

I am a pretty scaredy cat person who didnt really enjoy any presence of spirit/devil/ghost in a movie (yet I still manage myself to watch the exorcist), yet all movies above has this point where the main character somehow clash their daily life into world full of spirit, either good and devilish one. In Spirited Away, Chiaki which seen so little and fragile find herself in a place where regularly visited by a bunch of spirits. This No-Face spirit especially freaked me out only with his appearance and his eh-eh-eh voice. Howl is one of those good looking wizard in Howl Moving Castle which attract many of creatures (including this Witch of The Waste and me, too). My Neighbor Totoro was a very simple movie if you only ever read crappy synopsis (like the one I always write) about how children named Satsuki and Mei overcome their daily life and be-friend with this magical creature of the forest-next-door, Totoro. He (ok I am not sure, but I can just address Totoro as he) is a very fluffy creature who fond of sleep and I just want him no matter what, uhm. The most recent one I watched was Princess Mononoke where I feel dragged also onto heart of the forest with those charming tiny forest spirits called kodama.

I am sure to always remember you, No-Face

Sophie and Howl, after all the ruckuss

How can I ignore to sleep in his belly eh?

Kodama attaaaaaaaaack

Rumor said Miyazaki will no longer produce movies like he used to be but Studio Ghibli will still stand there, artworking great animation like before, or even better. I love how they actually slaps the viewer with the critics and life education derive from its movie plot without losing any grace. Hopefully can catch The Wind Rises this year :)

Always with love,

Icha
