2020 Pandemic

2020 seems to be a 'bad' year for us. Lots of good figures passed away, lots of disasters happened, and this Covid-19 pandemic is the peak. I hope this is the last disaster we all have to face this year. Surprisingly, Indonesia remained calm when this virus started to spread globally, despite the big number of people we have here in our country. Some figures even welcomed foreign tourists who passed the temperature test at the airport. This news ignited our people's anger, for sure. It indeed sounded ridiculous.

Several weeks passed, the number of cases and death toll increased. Of course, it shocked us.  Everyone started panic-buying. We ran out of masks, hand sanitizers, soaps. Hoaxes started to spread. And, yeah, people started to blame our government (or our president, to be specific). For me, this isnt all the fault of our government. We read news, we know exactly what is happening. Though the government should at least not being so confident about our country being safe from the virus, we, as an educated being, should've prepared ourselves for any possibilities.

As i write this, the number of positive cases in Indonesia has reached up to 4000 cases. This is a   b i g     number. We need to take it seriously. I know the government has done their best. I am also very satisfied for the programs they made to help us facing this pandemic. And its no use blaming our government when we ourselves did nothing exactly nothing to help the government.

My dad is one good example. He immediately cleanses himself after work, he uses sanitizers alll the time, he never let my mom (and me) go to public places unless its really important, he washes his hands, he eats clean, he sanitizes our car, he does everything he can possibly do to fight the virus.


I sincerely hope we can get rid of this pandemic real soon and enjoy the rest of 2020 with smiles.
Stay safe <3

'Beban Ganda' Bagi Indonesia

Siapa yang mati gaya gara-gara berbulan-bulan di rumah terus??  * angkat tangan sendiri * Jadi kan a yah gue dulu emang sering ngerekam-rekam gitu dan rekaman-rekamannya masih ada sampe sekarang huhu terharu banget 😭 Gara-gara karantina ini belakangan hari gue jadi bongkar-bongkar rekaman  handy cam  lama dari 15 dan 16 tahunan yang lalu. Sumpah taunya gue culun maksimal dulu hahahah kacau kacau....  Gue jadi bisa liat masa kecil pas rambut gue masih rambut batok gitu lol kalo nggak ada rekamannya kan mana pernah mau ngaku kalo gue pernah seculun itu haha. Ini nih salah satu highlight rekaman gue yang bakal gue obrolin kali ini. Dulu gue sekeluarga sempet tinggal di Banjarmasin dan kalo lebaran nggak bisa balik ke Jawa akhirnya kita jalan-jalan ke kota lain di sana, kebetulan waktu itu kita mau ke Palangkaraya. Waktu gue liat videonya, ternyata hampir sepanjang rekaman tuh jalanannya dipenuhin asap gara-gara kebakaran hutan. Btw gue dulu sebenernya pal...

Volunteering during The Pandemic

I was soo shocked i immediately turned on my laptop and wrote this blog. I just read a news saying that the number of positive cases of Covid-19 here in my country has reached up to 5000. This is c r a z y. The number escalated quickly from 4000 to 5000 in just 3 days. I don't know who to blame here as i don't have the capacity to talk about it but this increasing number of cases sure worries the hell out of me. Due to this issue, the head of my housing complex implemented a 'local lock down' as a way to help to stop the spreading of the virus. Under no circumstances are outsider allowed to enter my neighborhood, and vice versa. With this kind of situation, we often question ourselves: what can i do to help us against this virus? By simply staying at home, reducing the frequency of meeting people, washing our hand, we can contribute in fighting against the virus. But how can we help people in need -Those who suffer from the pandemic as they got an unpaid leave or b...

The Present

 Hello,  I hope this letter finds you well.   It's 7.30 in the morning, I have my coffee with me right now, a kind of coffee you would never have imagined. I’m planning to stay in my house all day as there is going to be a big rain today. The weather forecast has improved a lot in ten years, by the way. That’s why I kind of feel like writing a letter to you. I'm sipping my coffee, preparing for my breakfast, watching the news, and shopping for groceries while writing this letter. Don't ask me how I do that. You will find it out yourself. You know what? I've rarely heard anything about corruption on the news lately, but racism is still an issue even up to this day. *sigh*   Sitting on my bed looking outside my automated window, I realize that we are seeing a different world at the moment. The wooden window that you're opening right now is not here anymore, mate. No, I’m not seeing the green sawah (rice fields in Indonesia) you're seeing from your bedroo...
