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....

Jangan Membeli Saham Sebelum Paham

Kotal amal di ICRC museum, Geneva - 2019. Jangan pernah tergiur dengan ajakan, "Ayo sini invest ke gw, dapet return 10% lho perbulannya. Ntar gw beliin lu saham, nah lu tinggal tunggu aja pasti dapet return 10% tiap bulan. Enak kan? Nggak ngapa-ngapain tapi duitnya berkembang. Bukan investasi bodong ini. Serius kok, masa ga percaya sih? Kan gw temen lo, mana ada temen boongin temennya?"  Temen boongin temennya itu... ya banyak . Apalagi masalah duit. Tidakkah anda familiar dengan skenario yang hutang lebih galak daripada yang ngasih pinjaman? Ngomong-ngomong nih, makin lama makin banyak orang yang investasi. Itu bagus banget. ORI07 aja kejual melampui target lho. Bukti bahwa kita udah lebih membuka mata dan diri terhadap investasi.  Memulai investasi saham itu gampang kok, nggak seserem yang dibilang orang-orang. Tapi rawan terjungkal kalau nggak paham apa itu saham dan bagaimana cara saham bekerja. Iya betul, memang investasi saham bisa membawa untung yang bahkan lebih dari ...

Everyone wants to be listened to

This is a little bit about K-drama, everyone. I watched the Mystical Pop Up Bar drama or 쌍갑포차. I watched this because I love these 3 people. I did not know that it was only for 12 episodes. Turned out it has a similar concept as Hotel del Luna. That is why I love it. The highlight of this drama is when Wol Ju (the lady) was a shaman in Joseon time, killed herself because she hated human for killing her mother and no one believes her story and she had to pay back the sin she made for another 500 years by helping human to resolve their revenge.  She still hates humans as she needs to listen to their stories and solved their problems. But she did it anyway because that's the only way to pay back her sin. Turns out that all she did now is for her unborn child, to release him from the curse (Seungjae as Kangbae is the reincarnation of her unborn child). That Gwi 반장 was her loved one from the past that also help her to finish her job without her knowing that he is her past love...

Pentingkah Memiliki Asuransi?

sunset di Kuta Bali Dulu tiap kali denger kata asuransi, gw selalu antipati. Rasanya seperti, "Apaan sih asuransi-asuransi? Udah duit ilang, nggak dapet apa-apa, mending diinvestasikan aja lah" Asuransi yang gw punya cuma asuransi kesehatan aja karena otomatis terdaftar di Askes sebagai anak dari PNS. Asuransi  adalah pertanggungan atau perjanjian antara dua belah pihak, di mana pihak satu berkewajiban membayar iuran atau kontribusi atau premi. Pihak yang lainnya memiliki kewajiban memberikan jaminan sepenuhnya kepada pembayar iuran/kontribusi/premi apabila terjadi sesuatu yang menimpa pihak pertama atau barang miliknya sesuai dengan perjanjian yang sudah dibuat) -  Wikipedia Tentu saja akhir-akhir ini sudah berubah dong opini gw terhadap asuransi. Tak kenal maka tak sayang. Gw pelajari tentang asuransi lebih jauh beserta manfaatnya. Tapi, benahi dulu definisi awal asuransi. Banyak orang yang salah kira kalau asuransi adalah soal "investasi." Asuransi bukan inv...
