Worthwhile Blabbering Thoughts

So, for these past few days, I have been feeling a little gloomy because of the "transition phase" from a career woman to a full-time housewife. I do struggling to keep myself productive. I need to make some lists of what activities I want to do so that I won't feel bored. And here I share you my to-do-list that I am applied on my everyday activity :

  1. Writing - I write everything I felt or anything that across my mind. This will help me to communicate with myself, and getting to know myself better.
  2. Reading - I read some insightful stories or knowledge to motivate me, myself.
  3. Trying new recipe - I learn to cook a new menu everyday.

Okay, those all my lists. Now, allow me to write down my (worthwhile) blabbering thoughts.

You know, feeling gloomy can easily makes you flashing back to the time when you feel most proud of yourself because of your hard work, in the end, leads you to unlock several achievements.

These days, I feel like I don't really know myself. I used to be a dreamer. But since I graduated from Uni and start my career, everything seems changed. I have a different perspective, and it's quite flat. I occasionally miss the old of me : a dreamer that set a high standard for my own goals. And now, I've decided to be a full-time housewife. I am still questioning myself : how about my (abandoned) dreams? can I really create a new dream? what I really want to be?. What can I do for society, probably?.
Then I found this from a blog, and I can relate. (This old feeling) knows how it feels to be a dreamer that can inspire other (hehe) :

"I have been triggered by some of these young genes; they are superbly motivated, highly hard workers, superiorly committed to their dreams. And they are never being quitters. Never be losers. Consistently being dreamers. A constant pursue. And they keep their promises; being a dreamer. I wonder old people like me (I consider my self old, already: pardon me!), would be a consistent dreamer like them? Will they be, in a time span of their life someday, persistently being dreamers like they always be? Or they used to be?


You see, they jotted down their dreams; in papers, through pens, stamped at their private walls. Aiming high. Listed more than a hundred of dreams. Dreams that, to some people, might be an impossibility. Been screwed, been under estimated, been laughed. They didn’t, in fact, they don’t care at all. They keep running. Running high, sometimes low. Though, they keep in the pace. Of being a muse, of being an inspiration. Those are their motto.They keep remind themselves. They never forget. They strive to be there: on top of their success and become a muse. Inspire! Otherwise, you will be expired! " - Azhariah Rachman, http://azhariah-rachman.blogspot.com/


Isn't it cool if you still have that persistent commitment in pursuing your dreams? even if it takes times or even if your progress seems slower than usual. That's fine, as long as you never give up on your dreams.

And dear me, I know you know that in the end, when you become a wife, you should also prioritize your husband. He doesn't prevent you from your dreams nor stop you from dreaming and aiming high. He always there, to support you - for whatever you want to be. So, here is a lovely reminder for you (who already decided things). I hope these words can also help you figuring out something beautiful on your own :

"Ketika kita memilih tetap berkarir di kantor atau memilih jadi Ibu rumah tangga PASTIKAN bahwa pilihan yang di pilih itu kita sudah tahu resikonya dan benar-benar kita yang memilihnya bukan karena terpaksa atau dipaksa. Ini penting karena kalau ini pilihan kita, kita nggak akan ada tuh mengeluh dengan tanggung jawab yang kita emban, karena kan kita sudah tahu resikonya dan kita juga yang memilih. Nikmatilah tiap momentnya" - Rika, Urbanwoman.org


So, dear me, enjoy your phase now! keep shining on your own way. Find yourself a new dream to be achieved. Set your new goals. Find yourself reasons to not stop dreaming while enjoying your housewife journey!. I believe in you, as always.


with love,
yourself

Merindu (lagi)

Satu hal yang kubenci dari merindu ; ketika rindu, tapi tak bisa berbuat apa-apa BBM, Whats App, Line, bagiku terlalu tidak instan. Aku tak ingin slow respon . Tapi apa daya, bakatnya mahasiswa yang merantau, ketika rindu yang memuncak namun kondisi keuangan mencekak ; tak punya pulsa. Aku memang sangat ingin menelfon kalian, menanyakan kabar dan memberanikan diri berkata, "Ayah, Ibu, yang sehat ya. Laras sayang kalian". Semua omong kosong jika disandingkan dengan fakta saldo pulsa. Klasik sekali masalah ini. Rasanya ingin UAS secepatnya selesai. Ingin uang beasiswa secepatnya cair. Dan aku bisa pulang dari perantauan. Bertemu dan menghilangkan kerinduan. Malam ini, puncak dari kerinduan itu. Saat kucoba menelfon dengan BBM, Whats App, tapi tak ada jawaban. Gemes. Ingin menelfon tapi tak bisa!. Dan obat dari segala obat rindu ; doa. Diakhir solat ku berdoa, ya Allah, ampunilah dosaku, dosa kedua orang tuaku, dosa keluargaku. Jauhkan kami dari siksa api ner...

Halo, Hati.

Jum'at berkah, 26 Agustus 2016 Halo, hati. Apa kabarmu? masih bisa merasakan mana yang benar-benar pilihanmu? atau hanya ingin karena menurutmu itu keren? Hati, pilihlah yang kamu yakin mampu melakukannya. Pilihlah yang sesuai dengan kesiapanmu. Lagi-lagi kita bicara soal 'kadar' dan 'ukuran'. Seringkali aku lupa pelajaran kimia, bagaimana caranya mengukur kadar kemampuan. Tapi aku tidak lupa pelajaran berhitung. Karena yang kutau, setiap hitungan semangat juang, usaha untuk mencoba, dan doa yang terus diulang seringkali mengalahkan rasa ketidakmampuan. Mampu itu relatif, hati. Tergantung dari sisi mana kita melihatnya. Pandangan orang lain kah? atau diri sendiri? asal siap saja dengan konsekuensinya. Maaf, hati. Aku terlalu 'ngalor-ngidul'. Sebenarnya hanya untuk memastikanmu. Kau tau kan? kadang aku berfikir apakah aku bodoh dan benar-benar tidak bisa?. Tapi aku percaya kalimat bijak yang legendaris itu, "Tidak ada orang bodoh, yang ada...

Inilah (Curcolan) Tugas Farmasis

Intro: Me: anak farmasi yang "ga mau diem" ;  Curiosity tinggi, ibarat bahasa perusahaan yang lagi buka lowongan kerja "any kind of science are welcome". Lebih seneng bikin project sana-sini. Lebih seneng screening mana orang yang bisa berpotensi diajak dalam tim di project. Seneng ketemu orang baru, ngejalin relasi. Seneng ngebuat gagasan dan ide-ide baru untuk dituangkan dalam project dan paper. Ga cuma project spesifik farmasi, tapi juga psikologi ataupun integrated science lainnya. Part-time researcher. Tertarik juga dengan bidang pendidikan dan peningkatan prestasi. Seneng dengan ilmu-ilmu baru. Kemudian, pas liat berita terbaru penyakit yang disosialisasikan dari rumah sakit/puskesmas/ bahkan apoteker yang kerja di industri farmasi ---- me, langsung ngerasa "lho, Ras. Itu juga loh nantinya duniamu. Community pharmacy dan industri farmasi". Me----iyayah, berasa ga nyantai. Inti: Sosialisasi terkait penyakit difteri sedang digencarkan seluas-lua...
