Poor Moms Called Uncivilized

2022-06-23T06:20:00.005+07:00

Hi, there! It's still early in the morning but something comes up in my head and it kinds of disturbing me so I have to let it out. It's actually just a comment, but everytime I saw things related to it, I think about it.

Several days ago, my husband woke up late and missed his bus to work. He decided to take the train. At that time, I scrolled down my instagram feeds and story and found my friend was online showing the situation in the train station which was crowded.

I dm-ed her, being curious whether she knew the common situation in the station where my husband took the train. She didn't know but she said something I have been thinking until now.

"The train in the weekdays are crowded, but it's still okay. Workers are civilized. It's different with the weekends where there are a lot of moms or peoples from nowhere taking their children to go around or to go shopping. They're sometimes unmannered, pushing and elbowing other passengers."

Well, as a mom who sometimes take my children to try public transportation like train and bus, I feel annoyed hearing that kind of comment although it can be true. Not 100% true but some people (not only moms, yet people in general) are uncivilized like that. What is true is I am 100% civilized. Hahahaha. Just kidding. But I definitely know how to act in public transportation.

I'm not mad with my friend, I just want to make it clear that I'm not like that. So please don't say things like that. You may hurt someone's heart or maybe make somebody mind stuck with it, just like me. Hehehe.

Alright then, I think my heart is light now that I write about this. See you! 🤗 #wdykls

Hey, I'm Back!

2022-06-16T21:00:00.004+07:00

Oh my God, finally I can log into this account! I tried so many times. I just couldn't remember what it was . Yet here I am. Finally I can get in. I kinda feel like getting back writing, but I dont know if I can do it regularly.

Well, life has changed. A lot. I am a wife now, a mother too, of two sons to be exact. I'm a full housewife, no longer working. I am living a simple life now. Nothing big, nothing wow, but I'm so happy. We're so happy.

If you notice, my husband is the boyfriend I always mention in this blog. We've been together for almost 12 years, and been married for about 7 years. I hope we last forever til death tear us apart, and meet again in Jannah. Ameen.

Speaking of living a simple life, it's funny how life changes me. I'm so grateful that my husband has a good job in aviation. He's in a good position too.

I've been with him since he was not as good as now. At that time everything was so limited. To make it worked, I learned to cook, to clean, to do everything that could help the house run normally. We barely buy clothes, shoes, and everything we think we didnt need to buy. And the habits are still done until now, when the thing gets better and better. Hehe. It's a good thing though. That's how we appreciate the money, and everything we have.

By the way, it's already late at night. I have to get my kids to bed. It's nice to go back. See you soon. ❤ #wdykls

Ready for the New Chapter of My Life

2014-12-25T20:01:00.002+07:00

Well, hello everyone... Udah lama banget kayaknya kita ga ketemu. Rutinitas update blog kayaknya udah ga bisa jadi selingan rutin kayak jaman dahulu kala. Tapi berhubung sebentar lagi Tahun Baru dan banyak banget perubahan di hidup gw setahun belakangan ini, gw jadi pengen nulis lagi. Now I'm confused where to begin...

First of all, gw udah jadi pegawai tetap di tempat kerja gw. Setelah melewati beberapa tes, lulus jadi calon pegawai, nunggu satu setengah tahun buat panggilan berikutnya, tes lagi, lulus lagi, keluar SK pegawai tetap, ternyata salah golongan, tes lagi buat ngebetulin golongan, dan keluar SK lagi (SK yang bener tentunya), gw akhirnya lulus dan mendapatkan hak gw sepenuhnya. Dan yang paling penting sih, gaji gw naik. Wkwkwk. Alhamdulillah.

Nah, selanjutnya kehidupan percintaan gw nih. Yang paling bikin hidup gw berwarna, emosi kayak roller coaster, kadang seneng banget dan kadang sedih banget. Tapi bener loh. Percintaan itu ga bisa selalu happy. Pasti tetep ada galau, sedih, bete, berantem, kesel, dll. Cuma yang penting gimana kita bikin keadaan yang kesel-keselan itu akhirnya jadi baik lagi. Soalnya kalo hal kayak gini kita ga boleh mikirin perasaan kita doang sih, ada dua orang yang mencoba jadi satu. Beda fisik, beda mental, beda pemikiran, beda kebiasaan, beda kekuatan, tapi "nekat" mau jadi satu. Apalagi yang bisa bikin nekat kalo bukan sayang.

Ngomong-ngomong tentang "perubahan hidup" dan "dua orang yang mencoba menjadi satu", finally something amazing and maybe dreamed by all the girls in the world happened to me. What is that? Eng ing enggggg..... *drumroll*

Our Engagement (2014)

He asked my father permission to marry me!!! Sesuatu yang selalu gw impikan sejak kecil. Dilamar. What a weird dream. Tapi beneran, mungkin karena dari kecil gw kebanyakan nonton film yang dreamy2 kali ya, kayak Cinderella, Snow White, Anastasia, dan film disney lain yang ada pangeran sama putrinya. Gw jadi suka ngebayangin deh, kayak apa nantinya prince gw. Gimana cara datengnya, apa rasanya, gimana prosesnya. Eh? Proses apaan dulu nih? Wkwkwk. Dulu mungkin gw cuma mimpi dilamar, but since it was him, my dream came true perfectly. Mungkin nanti di salah satu bulan di tahun 2015 gw bakal udah ga jadi Miss lagi. Bulannya masih rahasia, jadi ga usah penasaranya. Hehehe. Jalanin aja aktivitas kayak biasanya, nanti juga tau-tau undangannya dateng. Biarpun masih lama, yang pasti gw seneng, karena ternyata dia punya mimpi yang sama kayak gw, dan semoga sampe seterusnya kita terus punya mimpi yang sama dan saling ngedukung mimpi itu. Amin. Thanks for choosing me, My Prince.

Rasanya pengen nge-review resolusi tahun 2014 gw deh. Tapi gw lupa, did I make it? Gw cek dulu ya. *beberapa saat kemudian* Tuhkan bener. Gw ga buat ternyata. Gw pengen coba flashback kegiatan gw selama 1 tahun kemarin tapi semakin diinget2 semakin lupa apa aja yang pernah gw lakuin. Mungkin untuk selanjutnya salah satu resolusi gw adalah lebih rajin update blog atau bikin video blog sekalian. Ya udah daripada kesel, gw mau nyoba buat resolusi tahun 2015. Cliche activity, but good buat tau hal-hal yang udah kita capai.

RESOLUSI 2015

travelling/backpacking ke 5 tempat yang belom pernah gw kunjungin
punya bisnis sampingan di bidang kuliner, harus udah mulai dijalanin jangan rencana doang
belajar masak masakan padang, minimal harus bisa bikin 2 jenis masakan
beli kacamata baru di tempat yang bagus, biayanya dirembes aja dari duit kesehatan, wkwk
daftar BPJS, ga jadi2 mau daftar, jaminan kesehatan itu penting
tertib sarapan milkshake, jangan ngelirik2 bubur ayam (tapi seminggu sekali boleh bebas hehehe)
rutin olahraga 2 minggu sekali (minimal jalan kaki, biar sehat dan ganti lemak jadi otot biar lebih sexy)
be someone's wife, hehe, cant wait to be yours My Prince
duit tarikan arisan ama bocah2 & ibu2 ga boleh dipake, harus ditabung (oke sip!)
traktir makan keluarga di restoran yang oke pas gw ulang tahun ke-26
khatam Al Qur'an (minimal sekali, malu sama semua yang udah dikasih sama Yang Di Atas)
resolusi selanjutnya menyusul

Oke deh, i think it's time for me to leave. Belom kepikiran apa lagi yang mau dicapai. I'm starving. Udah dulu ya. Bye everyone. XOXO. -Kinan

2014-01-31T23:16:00.003+07:00

Harus menulis apa. Harus mulai darimana. Gelap. Tidak bisa keluar. Tidak bisa sembunyi. Pengap. Cuma berteriak dalam diam. Dan meleleh kemudian. Meleleh sampai kering.

Kali Ini Ga Pake Judul Dah

2013-12-19T11:24:00.004+07:00

Wow, udah lama banget ya kayaknya gw ga update blog. Setiap terakhir nulis pasti niat gw adalah kembali aktif menulis, apapun itu tulisannya. Tapi kayaknya sekarang gw ga mau janji2 palsu lagi. Nyatanya, gw kurang bisa membagi waktu terhadap hobi ngeblog gw ini. Nanti dibilang kripik2 doang lagi. Tapi gw ngomong gini kok ya seakan2 blog gw laku dibaca orang. Kepedean. Hahaha.

Well, sekarang gw lagi numpang browsing di kelasnya salah satu temen ngajar gw. Namanya Ms Lili. Dy lagi tes di Al Azhar pusat, makanya gw bisa make komputernya. Ga izin pula. Maap ya Ms. Abisnya lagi males ngerumpi. Sekalian mau buat powerpoint buat nampilin foto anak2 pas bagi rapot. Nasib udah ga punya komputer pribadi gini nih. Jadi harus numpang sana-sini kalo mau ngerjain sesuatu. Mepet2 bawa laptop sendiri. Berattt... Aku kan wanita yang lemah lembut, jadi ga kuat bawa. Pretttttt.....

Seperti yang udah pernah gw ceritain (kayaknya sih pernah cerita), gw sekarang bukan lagi jadi guru kelas. Status gw sekarang guru Bahasa Inggris merangkap sebagai wali kelas 2. Tugas gw (menurut gw sih) lebih ringan, tapi bukannya jadi ga butuh tanggung jawab loh ya. Ga terima gw kalo dibilang begitu. Tapi beneran deh, sejak gw ga jadi wali kelas, beban gw rasanya terangkat. Padahal yang tadinya cuma harus berurusan sama murid dan orang tua 1 kelas aja sekarang beranak jadi 10 kelas. But amazingly, gw ga terlalu berat sama hal ini.

Emang kalo sepengalaman gw, ngajar SD lebih ribet. Bukan pada kontennya, tapi tanggung jawabnya sama murid dan orang tua. Dulu waktu gw ngajar SMA (biarpun cuma 5 bulan), ga ada satupun telpon dari orang tua komplen inilah itulah, nanya inilah itulah. Tapi gw kagum juga sama orang tuanya murid gw yang begitu memperhatikan pendidikan anak2nya. Sampe rela nelpon2in gurunya nanya pelajaran, PR, atau bahkan perkembangan anaknya.

***

Bosen ngomongin tentang sekolah. Hari ini gw sama uda rencana mau nontopn Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck (au dah tulisannya bener apa ga). Tapi ga tau juga sih jadi apa ga. Soalnya kita mau nonton jam 6 dan mau beli tiket on the spot. Kalo ga dapet tiket ya takdir. Wkwkwk. Eh iya, sekarang dy udah lulus loh. Lagi tes di sana sini demi memperjuangkan masa depan kita. Eaaaaaa..... lebay da ah.

Ya udah deh, kali ini cukup sekian dulu. Gw mau mulai buat powerpoint. Masalahnya fotonya kegedean jadi mesti dikompres dulu. Sampe ketemu lagi. Bye bye... *widyakilaz*

I suddenly miss my friends...

When Your Life is Filled with Whining and Nagging

2013-04-27T12:33:00.001+07:00

Oh, well. Thank you for being here. I just want to share my feeling, as usual. "When Your Life is Filled with Whining and Nagging" is a really suitable title for me. I have been whined and nagged lately. I am not a big fan of better-not-to-mention place, but I'm not a hater also. It's not that I hate the peoples, I just don't like something there, and this something is really hard to explain.

I have read some books, telling that whining just waste our time. True. But it can't help me keep away from doing it. The more I enter the deeper part of the place, the more I found myself disappointed. Sometimes I hope there's a real scene like in the Mean Girl movie when we can reveal what bothers us without being afraid of the bullies. But since we are in the real world where many evil people live, we have to leave it behind.

Just accept what you get. Be grateful of what you have. Not so many people are lucky like me. Moreover, not so many people are unlucky like me. Life is fair though it doesn't seem so. To bury my jealousy and to burn my haughty, I have to believe that He gives what I need, not only what I want. If I can do it, I will live in peace.

2013-04-26T08:20:00.001+07:00

Nyebelin adalah ketika mendengar guru sekolah negeri digeneralisasi, dijelekkan, padahal tidak semua guru negeri seperti yg dikatakan. Maaf, ibuku tidak seperti itu. Jadi jangan sok tahu.

Nyebelin juga adalah ketika mendengar guru sekolah swasta dipuja setinggi langit, padahal tidak semua guru swasta seperti yang dikatakan. Maaf, Anda tidak seperti itu. Jadi jangan takabur.

Movie Effect, AADC Movie

2013-04-21T20:15:00.001+07:00

I've just watched AADC movie (again), and it never fails to make me feel kind of blue. I miss my man miles away. I wish he was here.

A Post of Me Whining

2013-02-28T09:24:00.002+07:00

I dont know what's happening to me. I have been liking here, but lately I really hate here. Not all people here (and everywhere else) are nice, yeah I know that from the beginning, but if feels a little bit annoying to hear many 'reprovals' some which are not necessary. The invisible law, once again, makes me sick. I admit that some of the reprovals come from my mistakes, I accept if that's the case. But if it concludes seniority, I'm sorry I think you're the product of New Order.

I dont know, maybe I'm too much. I was warned because of attending a birthday invitation from my student. They said that I was supposed to not coming. Why? Wasn't it just an invitation? Dont we have to attend it? From Jabir r.a, it is stated that Rasulullah SAW said: إِذَا دُعِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى طَعَامٍ فَلْيُجِبْ فَإِنْ شَاءَ طَعِمَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ تَرَكَ which means "If you are invited to a banquet, you should come. (After you come), if you want to eat the food so eat it, and if you dont want to eat the food so leave it." (Hadith History of Muslim)

Sometimes I feel that I dont belong here, I belong to somewhere else. Some of the rules here cant be accepted by my perception. So far I can say "yes and yes" trying to burry my ego inside. I did it, but lately it is poking little by little to the surface. I need some escape!

On Saturday I will go camping with my friends. I hope it can refresh my mind and my soul. I want to be free from this suck feeling. I miss my freedom.

A Wimpy Post from a Wimpy Girl

2013-02-23T14:07:00.000+07:00

"A Wimpy Post from a Wimpy ~~Teacher~~ Girl". Hey everyone. Before I tell you something, I wanna scream first. AAAAAAAAA!!!!! Hehehe. I just wanna say that I hate to be "prisoned" under the "invisible law". All my life, I have been living in a democratic family, though often I lost to my parents' thought. Just to remind you, I am a product of the reformation reign. I speak my mind. I dont eat others' thought easily, but I dont stand still when I get bitten.

"Dont pretend like you know me because you dont." That's what I always tell everyone. I'm not like other people. I dont talk about other people like most people do. I'm not bothered by them who talk about me. I'm used to being silent OR being wimpy in the end by saying:

"I forgive you for talking about me the other day..."

I know. I'm not supposed to do that. Actually, I just wanna show them that I know what they do all this time, not to make them feel ~~guilty~~ ashamed but more to make them feel ~~ashamed~~ guilty. Hehehe. Yeah, that's my bad. I want to erase that bad habit. I know that I am (in Bahasa) usil. But sometimes my pride tells me to. Well, I think I cant tell more. I'm tired of thinking of nice words to say. I can make my brain explode if I try too hard. I dont want it to be a problem. Happy Saturday, all. (^-^)v

Insomnia Galau

2013-01-30T23:31:00.001+07:00

Bloggie, kalo lagi kayak gini bawaannya ga bisa tidur. Insomnia dadakan nih gw, padahal semalem bangun jam 12 trus baru tidur jam 4. Tidur setengah jam, langsung bangun siap2 ke sekolah. Untung seharian murid gw anteng kemaren...

Gw tadi pulang sore. Males aja pulang cepet2. Tadinya mau mojok sendirian di manaaa...gitu. Tapi makin sendirian makin merasa terpuruk ntar gw, hahaha. Gw tadi nemenin Ms Neny makan sore, gw sendiri juga ikutan makan sih. Cuma salahnya, kenapa mesti minum capuccino... Helehhh... Jadi kembung dah nih sekarang.

Ngoreksi udah selesai 3/6, masukin nilai udah, nyiapin ngajar...hm, kayaknya ga perlu powerpoint. Besok gw cuma 2 jam pelajaran, piketnya mudah2an ga nginval. Besok pulangnya gw mau kemana dulu gitu ah, pelampiasan, hahaha. Kalo di rumah sepi, ga ada temennya. Jumat juga cuma harus nyiapin IPS, Bahasa Indonesianya class library. Oke sip. Jadi mainnya bisa sampe agak maleman dikit. Whoahhh... Harus semangat! Harus ceria lagi! Kasian orang2 di sekeliling kalo gwnya lemah, letih, lesu...

Bloggie, jam 12 gw mau nelpon Uda. Tapi sekarang masih jam setengah 12. Enaknya ngapain ya... Main Temple Run 2 bosen. Lagi puasa ol juga. Rencananya mau delete akun twitter kayak Uda. FB juga udah gw deactivate. Gtalk off. YM sekali2 gapapalah. Pokoknya, siapapun sekarang kalo mau ngehubungin gw via Whatsapp, SMS, atau telpon aja ya. Social networking ga cocok buat gw sepertinya-----selama gw masih belum bijak.

Okay bloggie, I'll find a way to kill the time. Pengennya sih mulai sekarang mau nahan diri buat gangguin Uda. Biar dy cepet lulus, nah kan gw juga tuh yang seneng, akhirnya dy bisa pulang. Paling ga sampe dy lulus. Kalo dy butuh gw, dy bisa gangguin gw kapan aja. Kalo gw lagi kangen--kan biasa tuh setiap hari gw kangen, gw tahan2in sedikit, jadi mudah2an bisa ngurangin nelponin Uda. Jadi Uda bisa konsen ngerjain TAnya. Oke, saatnya konsisten! Hm, tapi ga tau sih sanggup apa ga. Yang penting udah niat dan ada usaha, kalo ga bisa ya maklum aja ya. Hehehe.

Sendirian, dan Kesepian

2013-01-30T23:12:00.001+07:00

Hey bloggie sayang. Maaf ya, cuma ngisi kamu pas aku lagi kayak gini. Lagi ngerasa sendirian banget. Biasanya ada Uda, tapi kayaknya kita belum baikan kayak semula. Tadi pas mau ngobrol sama temen gw juga lagi ga ada yang bales. Chat Uda juga ga dibales. Hm, sepi banget rasanya. Hehe. Poor me.

~~*tarik napas, buang*~~

~~Gw abis ngoreksi ulangan IPSnya anak2. Ada beberapa yang remedial. Agak khawatir sama beberapa anak, udah kurang males pula. Fiuh, nambah pikiran gw aja...~~

~~Bloggie, hari ini setiap bengong dikit sama pas sendirian bawaannya mewek terus nih. Hehe. Cengeng ya gw.~~

Hey bloggie, barusan Uda sms. Kangen... :'( Gw pengen kita baikan lagi. Mudah2an nanti bisa kayak sebelumnya. Dy minta maaf, tapi gwnya jg salah sih. Gw terlalu egois, cemburuan. Cuma gara2 dy mau jalan sama temennya yang cewe aja responnya lebay kayak kemaren... Huhuhu, mungkin bawaan dapet kali ya. Abis ga rela kalo mereka cuma jalan berdua... :'( Gila, kamseupay banget sih gw...

Bloggie, sendirian ga enak ya... :'(

What a Bless

2013-01-30T18:58:00.000+07:00

Today ran well. I felt blue, but grateful to know that some people still cared for me. When I entered classroom, two of my students asked what happened with my eyes, what happened with me. Today, my students were a little bit silent. Maybe they knew that I was in pain. When I went to school and got back home, my parents asked what made me cry all night. It seemed they heard me last night. I felt ashamed, but they understood that this was "youth problem", hehehe. Eventhough it's hard to act like nothing happened, I was grateful to know that I was not alone. And-----yeah, I miss him so much. It needs so much strength to keep myself from dialing his number. It's been more than 12 hours so far. I'm still waiting for his message.

I Promise I will Return Your Life Back to You

2013-01-30T15:56:00.001+07:00

I cant think of anything. It's empty.

A MESS I MADE

2013-01-30T03:02:00.000+07:00

Damn. I ruined everything. Need some spaces for us to breath...

"I'm sorry for last night..."

2013-01-21T19:50:00.002+07:00

Hi. I've just had dinner with my parents when suddenly I remembered how childish I was last night. Yeah, after some peaceful time, we had a fight. Yesterday, my boyfriend met his high school friend who moved in Surabaya because of her work. I allowed him to meet her, I was okay with that. But, he was there for too long.

First, I texted him at 5 asking if he met her or not. He replied my text at 6.30 saying that he's sorry for replying the text too long, it's because he was having a conversation with her parents. In the text, he said that after that he would go back to lab. "Oh, okay!" I thought.

At 21.30, I called him. My call was rejected. Then a text arrived. He said that he's on the way home. Once again,, I thought that he was heading to lab. But, he wasn't. He had just had some meal with his friend. And when he said on the way, it meant on the way to her house.

At 11, I called him and he said that he's just about to go home. What?! My heart burned. Jealousy came filling my heart. I thought, he wasn't there anymore. I got mad at him, really mad, and kept saying I thought and I thought. Soon as he arrived at lab, I called him. We talked for a moment, then his friend said that their lecturer looked for him.

Actually, I wanted to discuss what I was feeling inside. But considering the situation, I decided to end the call--with fire still burning inside me. I just wanted him to realize how I felt. At that time, actually I felt that I was too cruel but I just wanted him to know how hurt I was. I cried.

After some minutes, I fell asleep. All I want was I would feel better the next morning. Yeah, I did. But he didn't. I was supposed to know that he would not be able to act like nothing happened. He sent me a text, saying that he's sorry.

Before you think the wrong way, I want to emphasize that he didn't cheat. I was mad because he was there for too long, until almost in the middle of the night and because his texts were not clear enough telling what he's doing.

Yeah, you can call me possessive. I am. Not really, but maybe a bit. I just dont like he's with someone I dont know. I am not supposed to be insecure, but I just dont like it. I dont like him to be near a girl for too long, alone.

Okay, go back to the story. After receiving his text, I replied it. Unfortunately, his phone's off. I became worried, really really worried. At that time, I realized that I was too much. I tried again and again to call him, text him. I was supposed to know that he would be really different everytime we had a fight.

I was supposed to know that he's facing many problems lately. He has to take care of his final task, to take care of his responsibility, to take care of his friends, to take care of me, and I was supposed to be the one who made him happy. Last night? I gave him unpleasant thing, burdening him even heavier. For that, I'm really sorry.

This morning, I called him. We are fine already. I apologized. He apologized. And now, I just want to be more patient, to hear more, not using my oversensitive feeling, and I'm sure everything will be okay. Sometimes, I dont know why, I am very sensitive about us, otherwise I am very ignorance about what people think about me. I dont care what they say about me, what prank they make about me, I really dont mind the make jokes about me, even in front of my face. But related to my relationship, I am really sensitive.

Well... Love. It can change anything. If love is blind, yes I think I agree. It can make people do what they use to do. But love is pure, it's full of beauty. I am lucky to be able to feel it. *widyakilaz*

One-Third of January

2013-01-10T21:39:00.000+07:00

Nggak kerasa 1/3 bulan Januari udah gw lewatin. I dont know what people think, but I think that I'm becoming better. Sebenernya "baik, lebih baik, dan paling baik" itu relatif. Jawabannya ada di masing-masing kita. Gw suka banget sama quotenya Raline, yang jadi Riani di film 5 cm, (more or less like this) "Start what you want. Do what you can. Use what you have. Ketika kita ingin sesuatu, just focus. Jangan liat kanan-kiri. Jadilah lebih baik versi diri kita sendiri." So, yang bisa tau diri kita lebih baik ya kita sendiri. Orang bisa menilai, dan bisa saja kita meng-iya-kan. But it could be a lie.

Well, setelah beberapa lama dan beberapa kali gw bilang mau mulai nulis lagi, nyatanya gw belum bisa rutin nulis. Kesibukan gw sebagai guru SD (wehehehehe...) menyita lebih dari setengah waktu yang gw punya. Bahkan, untuk punya waktu tidur yang normalpun masih belum bisa. Hampir tiap hari pulang malem dan begadang buat belajar. Tapi ini tantangan buat fisik dan mental gw. Walaupun basic gw bahasa Inggris, bukan guru SD, tapi gw yakin gw bisa ngerti sekali lagi pelajaran anak-anak SD.

Ya, gw nggak ngajar bahasa Inggris. Wah, kalo dosen gw tau pasti sedih tuh. Wehehehe... Gw ngajar pelajaran guru kelas--PKn, Bahasa Indonesia, Matematika, IPA, IPS, dan PLBJ, dan gw sendiri sekarang jadi wali kelas. Sumpah awalnya masih ngambang banget sama pelajarannya. Lupa. Makanya tiap malem gw belajar dulu. Gw nggak mau sampe ngeblank pas ngajarin anak-anak. Tantangan terbesar sih bukan sama materi pelajarannya sebenernya, tapi gimana anak-anak bisa ngerti. Kadang gw suka heran, pelajarannya gampang tapi anak-anak susah banget ngertinya. Beda sama pas gw ngajar SMA.

Yang pasti, sekarang gw lebih sering pulang malem. Udah mulai ada tugas ekstra dari sekolah. Mulai bulan Desember kemarin, gw jadi salah satu pelatih buat lomba musik ensamble tingkat SD. Kayaknya sih lombanya se-Al Azhar se-Indonesia. Gw nggak mau nyia-nyiain kesempatan ini. Gw mau tunjukkin that I am more than what I am now. Gw mau kembangin segala potensi yang gw punya. Tapi karena basically gw seneng musik (walaupun ga jago main), jadi tugas ekstra ini nggak gw jadiin beban. I do it with pleasure.

Sayangnya, kesibukan gw bikin badan gw sering sakit. Udah berapa kali ya gw sakit sejak ngajar di sini. Sekolah swasta ini entah kenapa kegiatannya banyak banget. Dan walaupun banyak guru yang bilang, "Semua yang di sini pasti awalnya sakit...", gw nggak mau itu jadi tren sekolah ini. Semua harus sehat. Sakit itu akibat kelalaian kita sendiri. Dan takdir tentunya. Tapi kalo kita tertib: makan teratur, istirahat cukup, pola hidup sehat, kita juga nggak akan sakit kok. Gw akuin, karena nyari makan di sini susah dan suka males nyempetin diri untuk makan/ngemil di sela-sela kesibukan, gw jadi sering sakit. Punya waktu istirahat yang cukup emang belum mungkin, tapi harusnya pola makan tetep dijaga. Gimanapun fisik adalah salah satu modal ngajar seorang guru. Suara serak dikit aja bisa gawattt... Apalagi tau sendiri kan di sini murid-muridnya kayak apa, wehehehe...

Oke deh. Mudah-mudahan semakin hari kita semua bisa semakin baik. Soal resolusi di tahun 2013 "fix what are needed to fix", udah mulai gw lakuin dengan ngebenerin keyboard netbuk gw yang rusak. Gila booooooo.... Ganti keyboard + ongkos pasang aja 500k. Apa kabar benerin autofocus SLR yak! Berarti harus rajin cari duit nih. Oke sip. Semangat! :* -widyakilaz-

Happy New Year 2013: Moving On

2013-01-01T11:52:00.000+07:00

Nor to alter the Islamic New Year Idul Fitri, nor to follow others' nation tradition, but just to refresh my spirit in being a better person, I celebrated New Year's Eve last night. I didn't go somewhere with horns and fireflies, I didn't buy any of them, but I just stayed at my home with my mom and dad watching Salt Movie (and some other music performances). Well, before it my brother and his wife took us to Citos to have a dinner in Izzi Pizza. There were some attractions there--costumed dancers, clowns, etc.--and we were attracted to watch it for some times before finally going home. And when the countdown was started, I went to my roof, sitting there with my dad, enjoying the beautiful fireflies over the sky.

Unlike the previous years, I haven't made my resolutions yet until this time I write this. Hm... I'm still thinking--What do I want? Last year 2012 was the most fluctuative year for me. I was up and down and up and down and up and down, and that formed me into a stronger person. I experienced getting my first job after graduating, being unemployed because of some betrayals, getting my real job as a teacher assistant, promoted to be the real teacher, facing some obstacles during my teaching, facing students' parents, having my first school reports giving, having a fight with other teacher, being a gossiped girl at school, meeting my parents' boyfriend, and other things that I can't even mention here.

Well, this year I just want to be a better person. I want to do my work better, maintain my relationship better, making more friends at school, keeping in touch again with my old friends, fixing what are needed to fix, pursuing my dreams, and so forth. I want to actualize myself more than what I have ever done before. I want to show that I am more than what I am now. And this isn't just a crap. I'll prove it. Let's see how far I can go.

Alright. I think writing will not prove anything. The action will be started right now. Bookstore, see you soon! :-) *widyakilaz*

Happy New Year, Let's Have a Fresh Start

Annyeonghaseyo! It's been a while since the last time I updated this blog. Well, because we've just celebrated idul fitri, and before the smell is gone, I would like to apologize for what I've done. Let's have a fresh start just now. Starting from 0-0 again. In Islamic calendar, it's still new year, right? So, I will pretend this post as the first post this year.

Where should I start? I was about doing my translation then. But when I checked my email, it hasn't been there. So, while waiting for it, I want to share something about my life first. Shortly, in Bahasa, it's called curhat. The following story is just a little story about my life. Surely I won't be able to retell the whole because my brain is not that good in memorizing.

My "School" Life
When I wrote "school" life, it doesn't mean that I'm still in college or something. It's the school where I've been working. To be short, I'm working in one of famous Islamic elementary school (hehehe) in Cibubur, teaching 2nd graders. My students are very unique. I will tell some.

Uma is one of my students who likes to nag. What's been nagged? Yeah, her physical condition. Basically, she's okay. But she likes to say that she's sick. This happens everyday. Please note, everyday. Even one day, she called me by herself saying that she's sick. OMG--students nowadays.

Day 1
Uma: "Ms, I feel sick. I have a headache..." (touching her forehead)
Me: "Oh, what a pity. Let me walk you to the School Health Unit." (worried)

Day 2
Uma: "Ms, I don't know, there is a problem with my hand." (holding her hand)
Me: "What happened?" (checking her hand, found nothing, realized something)
Uma: "I don't understand, it suddenly feels bad."
Me: "Okay, just sit on your chair. It will be gone soon."

Day 3
Uma: "Ms, I am dizzy. I want to throw up."
Me: "You're gonna be okay. Don't kid too much with your friends."
Uma: "Really Ms. My head is sick."
Me: "You just had kidded to much with your friends. Believe me, you're okay."
Uma: "No Ms. I want to throw up. I want to throw up if my friends are noisy."
Me: "..."

Day 4
Uma: "Ms, I've got a fever." (touching her forehead)
Me: "Let me see..." (touching her forehead, found she's okay)
Uma: (showing pity face)
Me: "No, you're okay." (leaving her)

Uma has two best friends. One in my class (Agita), and one in other class (Sasha). They like a third grader boy named Rafa. One day, Uma and Sasha wrote a letter to Rafa. Knowing this, Agita was really angry. She didn't except that they didn't put her name in the letter. Agita and Uma argued until they cried. And finally, Uma ripped the letter into pieces, cried and shouted: "Look! It's already ripped. Are you satisfied?! Look!" Hahahahahahaha. It looked like a scene from a drama.

There are lots of stories about my class everyday. It won't be enough to write it here. My students are way too unique. They like to fight, they never shut up, they like to nag, they like to cry, they like to share foods, they like to make me (and Ms Fiyya--my colleague) exhausted and thirsty. Well, but I love them all.

My students' parents are nice too. They are very generous, hehehe. Before Idul Fitri holiday, they share some presents, cookies, and angpao to me and Ms Fiyya. I was very happy because before I used to open my mom's presents, and now I had mine. So far, I like being here. I learn a lot.

My "Home" Life
Home doesn't mean that I already form a family. Hehe. It's about my life as a daughter of Mr Purwo and Mrs Fajar. They are glad to know that I'm working in my working place right now. They said that it's good to make me better.

As a working daughter, I feel that I'm supposed to give some of my money to my parents as a form that I want to reply what they've done. Unfortunately, I am still not able to do that. First, because my salary is much much much lower than my parents. Second, because I have been using it to pay my two-wheels-vehicle installment. Third, because...hm...I think the first reason is the main reason... :'(

My "Friendship" Life
I miss my friends so much. We seldom meet, but luckily we can keep in touch with the help of technology. However, it feels not enough because I like meeting them directly, sharing each others' updates, hehehe. Hm, I think I will see them today, or tomorrow.

My "Love" Life
Hm, what should I say. It's getting better and better. Just like the ocean, it's never dry. He's getting busy, but I can understand that he has to finish his study. I believe him, and I believe that he won't make me disappointed.

A couple days ago, I went to his house and met his parents. I was so nervous, but I think it went well. That was the first time his dad asked something directly to me. Whoaaa... I couldn't feel my stomach! >_<

"TIME FOR A FRESH START-YEAR ZERO"

Well, I want to be better and better. I will do my best to be the best for my best mans--my family, my boyfriend, my friends, my students, everyone that I love and who love me. Okay, I think this is the end of this post. I hope you don't get bored because it seems that I will be back as a blogger and update this blog as often as possible. Hehehe. Adios! *widyakilaz*

It's called "human"...

Sometimes, we keep doing something that is not allowed.

Sometimes, we keep doing something without seeing the result.

Sometimes, we keep doing something that we like.

Sometimes, we keep doing something wrong though we know that's wrong.

It has happened since our first anchestor was created.

It's only human who did that.

We're the sons of Adam.

Tomorrow, You're Mine :*

Baru kali ini, gw bukan orang pertama yang ketemu Uda pas dia lagi pulang ke Jakarta. Biasanya gw selalu jadi orang pertama (atau paling nggak prioritas utama ketemu deh, hehehehe. Pede bener yak!) Ini dia kronologis kejadiannya:

Jumat, 3 Agustus '12 >> Dari Surabaya sampe di Jakarta malem hari, istirahat

Sabtu, 4 Agustus '12 >> Istirahat, sorenya buka bareng temen2 nongkrong di Depok, malemnya nginep di rumah Chepy

Minggu, 5 Agustus '12 >> Baru pulang siang dari rumah Chepy, lanjut istirahat di rumah

Senin, 6 Agustus '12 >> Buka puasa bareng temen2 SMAnya di Cijantung

Gw nggak mau ketemu di sela2 waktu di atas karena pasti cuma sebentar ketemunya, hehe. Besok Uda janji mau anter-jemput ke sekolah, trus (kalo jadi) nemenin nonton Batman, trus buka puasa bareng deh. Pokoknya besok Uda punya gw... :") *widyakilaz*

Setelat diliat-liat, dibaca-baca, dan diamati, ternyata beberapa postingan di blog gw agak2 alay. Wkwkwk. Maklum, being twenty something is hard... (apa hubungannya-___-") *widyakilaz*

"Happy Birthday, My Prince." (July, 17th 2012)

"Happy birthday, My Prince. I will always love you, my dear Sleepyhead."

...my birthday boy...kue yang cuma bisa diliat di layar kaca, hiks...

Al Azhar: First Three Days

2012-07-07T22:25:00.001+07:00

Last Thursday I started working in my new school. Actually, the new term is about to start on Monday (9/7) but we have to decorate all classes before it. That's why these three days--what I mean by three days are thursday, friday, and saturday--we decorated the class with many instruments, like Huruf Hijaiyah, The Angels of Allah, The Characters of Allah, Our Birthday, My Reward, My Information, Bulan Hijriyah, Bulan Masehi, Islamic Year, Name Tag (for locker), and so on. All have to be done by Monday. Luckily, I will teach the second grader (who start study on Tuesday) so I still have one more day to finish them all.

Well, I just arrived from Lubang Buaya to have Pak Udin The Tailor sew my uniforms. Today is so exhausting. I went to school to continue decorating at 8 am to 1 pm, then I went to Cibubur Junction to buy a pair of shoes and had lunch, and finally to Pak Udin's place after eating dinner at Pondok Gede with Dinta (my cousin).

Back to the three first days in school. So far I feel fine being here. Peoples here are nice (so far). What is hard is just the workload. But I'm sure that I can do it! :-) Okay, this job takes my time very much. Maybe you think that I just teach elementary school, but you have no idea how much work that you have to do. Wkwkwk. Very tired, but I love it. I love teaching. And this causes some differences in my life, one of them is that I can't spend my time being with my boyfriend. I'm sorry, my prince. *widyakilaz*
