“The past does not equal the future.”

    October 2012
    “If you want to succeed in your life, remember this phrase. The past does not equal the future. Because you failed yesterday; or all day today, or a moment ago, or for the last six months; the last 16 years, or the last fifty years of life doesn’t mean anything…all that matters is what are you going to do, right now.” – Anthony Robbins (via)

    October So Far

    Posted in my day, workin' hard by

    It wasn’t my intention to go two weeks without posting anything, but lo and behold… October has been proved to be extra busy for me! With the increasing burden to finish my skripsi as soon as possible plus me working three part time jobs (three!), evenings are for resting. No internet for me (except for the one in my phone). I may be this busy until the end of the month, but who knows… perhaps I would be even busier. Let’s just see.

    October is My Month

    All the SEO masters will surely cringe at my choice of lame title for this post, but hey! I mean it! October is my birthday month and so it is my month, right?

    Alright. So I finally got a time to go back to the blogland after two weeks of not-even-turning-on-my-laptop-for-anything-besides-doing-progress-on-final-paper. In fact, I just finished marking some posts read on Bloglovin’. Hundreds of them. (Exhausting!) And I didn’t even do that on my laptop. I’m using my (brand new :D) tablet to read blogs and post this tonight. Tiny screen, awkward keyboard, tethered internet connection, but it’s the only convenient way as for tonight.

    I feel like I need to tell you that I hate complaining about my final paper to anybody other than my boyfriend and a few friends. That’s why I’ve been avoiding this blog. I’ve ranted enough on Twitter, I think, that I shouldn’t bring the negativity here. Like I said before, I should probably go back to using this blog as a getaway whenever real life seems unbearable, just like what I did a couple of years ago. Reading back to those days, I can see that my writings nowadays look dull compared to the old ones. I also used to have quite a number of royal readers and commenters. I don’t know if the decreasing number is because of me or if it is because of the big changes in the blogland just like what Kaelah talked about on her blog a few days back. Well, I was never a famous blogger, but even the amateur like me has been feeling the shifting so perhaps it is real.

    Anyway, while I was gone, I got myself a plenty of part time jobs and one that I had to cancel due to the conflicting schedule. (See? I wasn’t kidding when I said I was busy.) I am now a coordinator assistant in a private course institution and also a social media manager for a startup fashion line. Busy, arent I? 😉

    So, yeah… Here’s to October, my super special month.

    PS. My tablet’s wallpaper is from Kristen Victoria.

    Enough With the Downer

    Posted in life as i know it by

    The last two posts looked kinda depressing, didn’t they? 18 and 19 September were two days to forget, yet I always remember. When you got your heart so broken, it’s hard to forget no matter how badly you want to. But as for now, I’ll let them sit together in the darkest part of my memory lane to be celebrated again next year. I have to think about something else.

    As this week comes to an end, I’m reminded that next week will be a fresh new start to the writing process of my final paper. My #1 advisor contacted me a few days ago to set up a new (permanent) schedule of advising session and my #2 advisor said that she would be available on Tuesday. I hope it will be all downhill from there.

    Also, I can’t write a Weekend Wandering post this week. A and I had planned to go to Floating Market Lembang on Saturday, but it was raining and so we had to cancel. We ended up spending Saturday night at his office, trying to install YouTube on iPad to watch these hilarious videos by Sacha Stevenson (she’s seriously hilarious!)

    However, I will surely post Weekend Wandering #3 next week because Bandung is having Braga Festival again this year. I can hardly wait.

    Here’s to a good week ahead!
