Book: The Midnight Library

It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves.  So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them.  This contains spoiler of course.  Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born.    The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....

How are you?

 
Sanur

Hello there! It's been awhile. I am so occupied here (with what? lol). Let's catch up on some things.

So how are you? Alles goed? I almost finish my Dutch lesson level 1. I can make a complete sentence now so I am happy that FINALLY!!! At least now I can say more than just Ik hou van jou 😂 I definitely will continue my lesson and thinking about taking French after that 😇

I've been working with someone from Canada, remotely. And I am taking a branding course that really interesting for me. So every time I walk into some shops or see some branding things I would be like "Hmm is that true that you're eco friendly or it is just greenwashing? Ah I know you use this to cover your previous fail branding about that issue!" 😂 On a serious note, I am really interested with this branding stuff and would love to share some when I finish. I will only share what I need to share 😋

I am little bit avoiding login into my social media accounts although it is not easy to do that I still need to log into it to catch up some news. The news lately making me so stressful that make me feel exhausted and tired even siomay and es kopi can't fix my mood. That's a serious thing when foods can't fix me. So I decided to skip for some days. Then when it got little bit chill, my husband sent me some news that I knew since last week and started to talk about it. Oh boy. That was intense.

  
Let's chill. Go get some ice cream

I don't want to talk about the protest and everything happened for the last couple of week, but I am so concerned about people who doesn't know about marital rape. Where almost everybody think that marital rape is okay. Ok we're talking about the real rape where there are no consent from one side. Not the "rape" term as in BDSM. No women, you're allowed to say no if you are tired or not in the mood or sick or anything to your husband. (and vice versa). It is not sinful. Align your logic to your holy book, and you'll find the match.

Oh catching up some about these religious thing pressure, I am un-followed by some friends that finds me annoying because I am criticizing too much about religion and thought that I am convert. They can't handle my guts. Ah they love me, talked about me behind my back. So lovely 😊

Three months living in Bali, make me happy. I feel that I found myself (more) and really enjoying it. When people asked, "Does it feel like everyday is sunday in Bali?" I can say yes to that 😊 it is so enjoyable and liberating living in a place where there is nobody tell you what to do.

So I think that's it. I will write more soon. Have a good day everybody 😉

Note: due to our complicated situation lately make the stock market dropping down. It is a good time to buy some stock. Go get some stock pals!

Pengalaman Bikin (Free) Schengen Visa di VFS Swiss

I know this is so normal but anyway I like to compare the experiences because people might have different cases and because I have nothing to lose so... here's my experience for applying Schengen Visa via Swiss (VFS). Kenapa nggak via Belanda? Karena rencana kita berkunjung lamanya ke Geneve - Swiss (ada urusan kerjaan suami gw) dan kami belum tau akan ke Belanda apa nggak saat itu (nggak jadi sih soalnya mepet banget).  Seperti yang sudah sering dibahas orang lain perihal syarat dan ketentuan apply Schengen visa, gw nggak akan nulis itu ya. Udah ada di website VFS, lengkap. Gw cuma tambahin dikit-dikit aja infonya yang mungkin sama seperti kasus yang baca kalo emang kebetulan sama sih 😂 "Ok jadi total pembayarannya 280 ribu rupiah ya" "HAH?? Cuma 200an mbak??? Visanya gratis???" "Suaminya masih WN Belanda kan mbak?" "Iya" "Oiya itu gratis, bisa pake visa tipe C. Jadi cuma bayar biaya admin aja" ...

Not A Robot

  There are so many things I did recently. It was all started since February. Not to complain about this, I just want to write it to release the stress. Because I know every choices has its own risks. Started from January, I commits to work on another blog of mine. Joining with another friend, we are committed to post at least one writing every week with different theme each week. This is still under construction *ahem, ini bukan bangunan* to make it good to read at. I will publish it here once it is ready to be published. We both are trying to be consistent. So far, I have been consistent and always post one every week. After decided to get married, I realize that it won't be that easy. No matter what, marrying someone never be easy. About the preparation and this and that. To be honest, I will not having a big feast for that. I will invite my close friends and family, although I still have to respect what my parents want to invite the neighbors (one block neighbors are tota...

[Book] Dunia Cecilia

'apakah kalian membicarakan hal semacam itu di surga?' 'tapi kami berusaha tidak membicarakannya dekat-dekat Tuhan. ia sangat sensitif terhadap kritik' Yap, sepenggal dialog antara Cecilia dan malaikat Ariel. Saya mengenal Jostein Gaarder sejak kuliah. Ehhhh 'mengenal' dalam artian kenal bukunya ya, kalo bisa kenal pribadi mah bisa seneng jingkrak-jingkrak hehehe. Jadi karena teman saya mendapat tugas kuliah membaca satu novel filsafat berjudul Dunia Sophie, saya jadi sedikit mengetahui si bapak Gaarder ini. Enak ya tugasnya anak sastra baca novel, tugas anak matematika ya baca sih, tapi pembuktian kalkulus -_- Dunia Cecilia ini buku pertama Jostein Gaarder yang saya baca, karena buku Dunia Shopie sangatlah berat berdasar review teman saya. Saya sih nggak perlu baca buku itu karena teman saya sudah benar-benar mahir bercerita. Jadilah saya sudah paham bener cerita Dunia Sophie tanpa membacanya. Novel ini atas rekomendasi teman saya, dia bilang kala...
