The Self Isolating

It's never been easy. Period. -- Just now on my first day of work-from-home. I caught up in a random conversation with my old friend through DM. It was as simple as: "I miss you! When do we catch up again? " that leads to many feelings. Actually, this writing is also triggered by today's horoscope told me about redefining relationship with fear as a fuel . Still, I don't know how to pull me off out of these feelings. I have to acknowledge that my mind was in a mess for these past few months. People, probably it's the area that most consuming. I feel frightened. I expect someone to do the same but then I blame myself for not giving enough to a certain person.

Makuta Cafe - The Finest Jamu I finally found the underrated JAMU at the quaint little shop around the midst of Kranggan (China Town in Semarang). It owned by Nyonya Meneer family, one of the famous Jamu producers in Indonesia. The ambiance is soooooo good. You can smell those mix spices boiled once you entered the room. You will experience Jamu in a more "cafe" way with any kind of flavors and benefits to your body and MIND! "Ibu" will be there to answer anything and

Over the past centuries, there is no doubt that men and women roles have less distinction. These differences impact gender roles in any situations such as family, organization, economic, and environmental as well. Women have significant roles not just in a family but in society. Their responsibilities most likely begin at home where they manage the household and look after their children, therefore the roles expectation tends women to just staying at home. In this case, women have a connection with sustainability to create a better change in the future. Since feminism has evolved, women participation have gained in every sector especially in environmental issues because women will affect the most when it comes to natural resources. In the 1980s, Ecofeminism theory explained there is an intersection between the oppression of women and the harmed environment.

Hoping there is no sudden obligation or any kind of self-made issues that ended up makes you feel guilty for taking a rest and busy on updating your Spotify playlist, but I did . It’s like my body knows you are in a relax mode and keeps reminding: “Hey, you haven’t finished with the 1..and next think about 2..3.. then 4..” I’m currently thinking a lot about what can happen in the next five years from now.

Beberapa waktu lalu saya berkunjung ke rumah salah satu kerabat untuk berakhir pekan, kita terlibat dalam pembicaraan yang sejujurnya membuat saya bengong. She said,  “Pernah  gak sih  kamu ngeliat teman kamu yang selalu beruntung, ketika lomba dia menang, hasil ujian juga lebih bagus padahal  you work hard for it too . Alam semesta mempunyai  rules- nya sendiri tentang  take and give. Mungkin temen kamu atau keluarganya sering beramal, dampaknya di keberuntungan temen kamu itu." Lalu dia menjelaskan bahwa g ive  adalah ketika kamu berdoa dan beramal.   " Rezeki itu muter terus, ketika kamu banyak memberi dengan ikhlas, kita juga bakal dikasih banyak." Ketika mendengar kata beramal, rasanya buat saya sesuatu yang besar dan sulit dilakukan menghitung uang jajan yang pas-pasan. Ternyata.. Kata siapa itu mustahil? Ketika mendengar kata beramal atau  charity , saya membayangkan donasi yang harusnya besar. Kerabat saya memberikan perhitungan yang mencengangkan den
