Words from a Novel "Kitchen"

Akhir-akhir ini aku lagi senang membaca buku, dan buku-buku yang terakhir kubaca adalah "Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul III" dan "Kitchen" oleh Banana Yoshimoto.

Hmm.. ada kata-kata bagus yang ku ambil dari novel "Kitchen", here they are:

"Life can be so hard,"
"Yes. But if a person hasn't ever experienced true despair, she grows old never knowing how to evaluate where she is in life; never understanding what joy really is. I'm grateful for it." 


As I grow older, much older, I will experience many things, and I will hit rock bottom again and again. Again and again I will suffer; again and again I will get back on my feet. I will not be defeated. I won't let my spirit be destroyed.

Apakah menurut kalian juga bagus? semoga bisa memberikan sedikit motivasi ya! hehehe...

My Personality Test Result

I tried this personality test on  http://personality.visualdna.com/ I am a Harmonizer . Harmonizer means a mediator who brings one thing into harmonious agreement with another. Spirit: You're a Harmonizer. Loyal and honest, you're generous with your time and know how to support your friends. You value one-on-one time with your inner circle and have a few close friends who you can truly rely on. Reliable and trustworthy, you seek harmony and balance in your life. You forge strong, long-lasting friendships, and your friends value your honesty and frank opinions. You tend to value routine and security. You know how to take the good with the bad. Your balanced attitude means life feels pretty good and you're comfortable in your own skin.   When it comes to improving things in your life, why would you say no to extra cash? It would be great to treat the family whenever you feel like it. The trick is to be disciplined about budgeting. If you...

Choices

Everyday I'm kinda stuck in this "choice" thing. It seems just a trivial matter. The choice is about which route should I take to go home? For me, it's not a trivial matter. Why? Let me tell you the background story. In some previous posts, I think I've told you that I have a new job in a consultant. The office located in Ampera Street. This is not a very well known street, so that I just tell everyone that asks that I work in Pejaten. The first route that I took to reach this place is via commuter line to Pasar Minggu Station and then ride the public transportation car no. 36 to Ampera Street. It feels so far from home. It takes 2 hours to go to the office and 2.5 - 3 hours to go back home!! It seriously drives me crazy!! Believes it or not, this route even makes my emotion unstable in the first month of working! Like I've spend too much time on the road! Finally several months later, actually when I got back after my training in Yogyakarta, my cowor...

Review: Novel "HUJAN"

Novel “HUJAN” ini adalah novel Tere Liye kesekian yang udah gw baca. Novel Tere Liye terakhir yang gw baca sebelum ini adalah novel “Harga Sebuah Percaya” yang udah gw bikin review -nya juga di sini . Novel ini adalah satu dari lima novel Tere Liye yang gw beli di akhir Agustus 2019 kemarin. Dua novel udah dibaca dan sisa tiga lagi yang menunggu giliran. dokumentasi pribadi Review ini mengandung SPOILER! dan juga sangat subjektif! Jadi wajar sekali kalau ada yang punya pendapat lain. Let’s respect each other and I’m very open for discussions! Silahkan comment di bawah, pasti gw bales kok haha.. Overall , Novel “HUJAN” ini menceritakan kisah hidup dan kisah cinta Lail dan Esok. Novel ini ditulis dari sudut pandang orang ketiga. Alur ceritanya campuran antara alur maju dan alur mundur.   Sinopsis: “HUJAN” Pada tahun 2042, gunung purba yang jaraknya 3.200 kilometer dari kota meletus dengan skala 8 volcanic explosivity index (VEI). Gempa dari letusan gunung ...
