Kangen Acara Kantor Offline!

Di masa-masa sulit kaya sekarang, kumpul itu kemewahan banget, ya gak? Paling mentok kumpul sama keluarga inti, atau circle yang udah kita kenal pasti. Belakangan ini aku lagi suka flashback ke masa-masa kumpul kantor offline. Dulu seneng banger kalau dimintain tolong bantu acara HR bahkan buat sekedar dokumentasiin acara. Part yang paling ngangenin tentu pas ngadain acara buka puasa pas bulan…

#NewNormal Gak Usah Pakai Masker? Hm..

Pagi ini keluar rumah buat jalan kaki dan berujung senewen, karena banyak orang sudah mulai berjualan dan hampir semua nya gak punya kesadaran buat pakai pakai masker yang BENAR. . . Padahal, tipe masker itu banyak kan, bisa disesuaikan sama bentuk muka, budget & aktivitas kita. Dengan pakai masker, artinya menjaga diri kita & jadi bentuk kepedulian juga buat kesehatan orang2 di sekitar kita. . .

#KenikmatanMAXXXXXI di Ayam Bersih Berkah!

Perkenalan pertama aku sama #AyamBersihBerkah dimulai hari itu, 24 Juli 2018. (Aku inget dong, karena aku masukin Instagram Story ahahahha jadi ada archive-nya!). Saat yang bersejarah juga karena aku lagi nunggu pencairan pinjaman nasabah pertamaku *uhuk!*. Kondisinya udah malem jam 7-an gitu, di cabang cuma aku sendiri yang lembur, dan perut sudah tak bisa diajak kompromi. Sementara proses…

Photoshoot for Vieecaa

Sejak punya Beibie (kamera Sony Alpha 6000-ku), aku kemudian jadi makin rajin latihan untuk ambil foto. Bukan cuma untuk koleksiku pribadi, aku juga mulai foto teman-teman (dan juga usaha atau momen mereka). Bukan apa-apa, ceritanya sih untuk melatih taste dan juga profesionalisme aku sebagai fotografer. Nah, ceritanya Mba Ica, temen kantorku itu sekarang nyambi buat bikin usaha kerudung voal…

My D&D (Design & Decoration) at SME CLINIC Jabar

Jujur, meskipun capek nya luar biasa, aku selalu suka mendesain dan mendekorasi. Kayaknya keduanya udah menjadi darah di dalam tubuhku, hahaha! Nggak cuma bikin desain di komputernya aja, aku juga suka kalau disuruh belanja dekorasinya, keliling-keliling pasar untuk cari properti, atau ke tempat percetakan untuk ngeprint. Suka. Banget. Nah, melihat bakatku itu, kemudian managerku mengusulkan aku…

dr.

Dulu, waktu aku tinggal di Asrama, aku selalu tertarik mengetahui profil temanku dari motif seprainya. Karena kami selalu bersama 1×24 jam, aku bisa melihat motif apa yang menjadi kesukaannya. Apakah dia lebih suka motif abstrak atau realis. Apakah dia termasuk orang dengan aura warna terang, lembut, atau gelap. Apakah dia memakai seprai pilihan orang tua yang membelikannya, atau dia sendiri yang…

INTJ

Pertama kali aku tahu MBTI personalities itu dari Diena, teman sebangku-ku waktu Aliyah. Dulu kepribadian kita sama-sama ISFP, mungkin karena bareng-bareng itulah somehow kita jadi sama banget kepribadiannya.  Akan tetapi setelah menjalani kuliah tingkat awal, hm, kok kayanya kurang valid ya? Sebagian dari diriku masih berusaha men-deny karena aku masih (ingin) merasa ISFP. HAHAHA. Pas masuk…

Macan Kurung

Coba kamu search tentang Macan Kurung, deh, salah satu karya seni dari Jepara, kota-nya Kartini. Itu tuh karya seni yang keren banget. Bayangin ya, satu kayu gelondongan dipahat hingga menghasilkan karya sebuah macan dalam kurungan, tanpa potongan! Gila, kan! Nah, katanya tuh macan kurung itu juga merupakan simbol dari Kartini. Kartini itu macan–dia perempuan hebat, meski dia dikurung, dia mampu…

Duta Ekonomi Syariah Bank Indonesia, Jawa Barat

Dari dulu, yang namanya Wenty Gafrina itu paling nggak mau kalau disuruh tampil depan panggung. Rasanya awkward sekali. Kalau ngobrol gelagapan, pembawaannya grogi. Alih-alih, dia lebih suka sibuk di backstage, mempersiapkan dan mendukung show sebaik mungkin. Sampai akhinya seorang teman baikku Ravitia Dewi memaksanya untuk keluar dari cangkang. Semua rangkaian tes dia jalani, alhamdulillah…

Batik

Meskipun di bangku kuliah sarjana ITB saya belajar di jurusan Manajemen, ternyata saya masih bisa mencicipi the real taste of art slash design di tingkat akhir ketika saya ikut mata kuliah Batik (tapi sebenarnya, belajar 3 tahun di SBM ITB memang dituntut buat mastering creative tools juga, sih, jadi nggak buta-buta banget). Tapi, di kelas batik ini, saya beruntung karena bisa sedikit belajar…

2016. Page Up, Page Down. 2016. Page Up, Page Down. Bisa dibilang tahun ini jadi turning point kedua setelah masa kuliah. Ibaratnya, kalau waktu kuliah dapat tangangan buat belajar macam-macam gaya renang di kolam 2 meter, nah sekarang disuruh nyebur beneran di laut, berenang sama ikan.

Dear Answer Me 1988,

I’ve started this letter multiple times. I just wasn’t sure on how I should start this letter and I’m still unsure so bare with me here.

First, I want to thank you for doing something new with family and neighborhood love. The neighborhood was a core center for this drama. I loved every minute I spend with each family. It’s a different time when a community of neighborhoods cooks, lived, and loved like this one did. I’ve said this over and over the course of 20 episodes how I wanted to be apart of this neighborhood and the feeling still hasn’t changed.

The trio of ahjumma Mom’s we’re a delight to watch every week. I love the friendship of these women. It isn’t often women in dramaland are not vindictive towards one another. These women displayed what true friendship is all about. I could watch a drama with just these three. Make no mistake the ahjussi Dad’s we’re just as terrific as their counterparts. These men shared their tears and worries about their family, jobs, and life. Great Dad’s are able to ask for help and to let others see their fears.

In 1997 & 1994, most of the families had tragedies with death of their child/sibling and parents. A death of a parent is still a main focus on two of our characters, but the story takes a break from replaying the dead child/sibling card. Instead, family love is a main focus for our core cast of characters which I admire this attention.

I see myself in the relationships with many of these characters with their family. However, it’s the love and adoration Jung Hwan as towards his mom and brother which tugged on my heartstrings. He’s such a romantic at heart despite what his friends may say. His dreams are his brothers. All his life he’s wanted to allow his sick brother to live through him from being a soccer player to a fighter pilot. It’s a beautiful look at brotherly love and I’m thankful to you, drama, for this relationship.

He such a quite and brooding character, but he sees more than people realize. He’s able to figure out how to put a smile on his mom’s face. The moment Jung Hwan wrote his mom’s name on her passport or giving her a wedding she never had, just endears me to him. This relationship at first seems like a rocky one, but I find him more charming and devoted than Sun Woo is to his mom.

This part of the letter will not be as nice and praising as the first part. Make no mistake; I really enjoyed watching Answer Me 1988. However, I have a tad problem with some areas of the drama. I’m trying really hard not to rant at you, but I’m afraid it’s probably going to happen anyway.

The hour and forty minutes average for these episodes are super long. I understand you have a huge cast compare to 1997, yet you stuff flat jokes and unnecessary set up. Long doesn’t mean the drama will be better. Good directing and editing is the key to keeping focus on the narration. Oh and lose the goat. You’ve lost the touch of the humorist goat sound.

I was pleasantly surprised with the older actors portraying the younger kids. Those jokes work by the way. Yet in your quest to keep the husband a mystery you failed to develop Deok Sun as a whole character. There is something flat and missing from the character. Parts of her, I can relate to being a middle child myself and the child who’ll drop everything to take care of my family, but her friendship with the boys seemed to have missed something. I can’t say if it’s the acting or part of not being able to live inside her head. I just feel this group was never as close as 1997 nor 1994.

I don’t understand her emotions in most of the series. She starts with a crush on Sun Woo to be rejected. She comes to learn Jung Hwan may have a crush on her and get’s proof when he tells her not to go on the blind date. However, this girl who reads romance novels and likes the idea of being in love won’t throw caution to the wind and put herself out there and confess first? She tries for a brief moment getting up early to go meet Jung Hwan on the bus. It could’ve been the shirt and the misunderstanding, but I just don’t understand. When Deok Sun is passionate about something, she’s loud. Yet, I feel like I missed out on her figuring out was it Taek or Jung Hwan she had learned to love.

Jung Hwan’s crush had more visual meat verse what we’ve seen from Taek. He saves her on the bus, he saves her in the rain, and he got her the pink mittens she wanted for Christmas. It’s so wonderful to see the goofy grin on his face when she walks in. Yes, Taek and Jung Hwan, both knew the other liked her, and I get he stepped to the side for his friendship. It just pains me to see him confess years later, and you drama, just treats it like it doesn’t mean anything. It’s not just the joke confession, but the fact five years late he’s still in love and his lets it go without trying. I get it makes for good drama, but it doesn’t feel like its playing fair to the audience nor the character. If he’s giving up his one-sided love for his friendship, don’t throw his crush away like trash. He deserves to be treated better as a character for his sacrifice.

Would I been on the moon to see Jung Hwan with Deok Sun. Yes, but not because I think Deok Sun should pick him. I just want to see Jung Hwan have something which is truly his and to see the more romantic and goofy side of him. However, Taek is the husband and that’s that. I’m not going to debate the clues or the facts why Jung Hwan should have ended up the husband.

The one thing about 1997 and 1994, the adult scenes had a purpose. It was a reunion for the group to go down memory lane. You failed to deliver on these adult scenes. I liked the idea of it being an interview, but I wish there was more to those sit downs to talk about the present day and the group. How are all the parents? What is everyone up too? Did Deok Sun ever find a dream?

Maybe the real reason I’m super annoyed with you is the lack of closure. Deok Sun/Taek and Bo Ro/Sun Woo got their happily ever after, but what about Dong Ryong or Jung Hwan?  With all the other “could be husbands” or crushes in the Answer Me series, there was a special someone out there they ended up with. Once again, Jung Hwan get throw away for such a beloved character.

You Drama are not my beloved 1997 with the lightening caught in a bottle. There was something magical about 1997. You Drama feel more like 1994, but a much better flesh out in the theme. I did enjoy you despite the long narrations and your lack of closure to the ending. I think what I’m getting at is I don’t want to go on another husband mystery ever again when you because you just don’t play fair to the losing party anymore.

I guess with I’m saying is, we’re over. This relationship we have is an abusive one. I trusted you, but now your words mean nothing to me, because your actions spoke the truth. Just because Drama you can’t see my scars doesn’t mean I don’t have any. I’m standing up and taking back my life.

Merinding. Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi sejak dulu hingga saat ini seluruhnya berpusat di pasar.. Bedanya, saat ini pasar telah berkembang dalam definisi yang lebih luas: perebutan sumber daya & energi, investasi dalam dan luar negeri, yang membuat kurs mata uang naik turun mengguncang perekonomian sebuah negara. Dahsyatnya, berabad lalu Rasulullah telah mencontohkan bahwa "... untuk menjadi pemimpin Islam, sebelumnya harus membekali diri memahami permasalahan niaga dan penguasaan pasar atau kekuasaan ekonomi." (Ahmad Mansur Suryanegara, 2009) Oleh karenanya, pemimpin yang paham dinamika ekonomi akan lebih mantap dalam membuat keputusan yang mampu mensejahterakan rakyatnya. 👨👪👷💁🌍🏭

Cause Nell is love. <3 My first encounter to Nell was when I listening to Kim Sung Kyu’s INFINITE solo album, 27. All of the songs in his album was great, there are no songs that I don’t like.
