Time flies so fast. It's August already, which means the beginning of something new in my life. Yep. Welcome to real jungle LOL I'm gonna work on my very first job at the end of August. Hope everything goes well and I can once again adapt real fast to the company *finger-crossed* In the meantime, I'm gonna enjoy this summer break to the fullest before it's over.  Target this month : crossed everything on my list before job taking over my plenty precious time! Wish me luck! YEAH!

"Orang boleh pandai setinggi langit, tapi selama ia tidak menulis, ia akan hilang di dalam masyarakat dan dari sejarah. Menulis adalah bekerja untuk keabadian.” - Pramoedya Ananta Toer Sejak kecil gue suka banget sama yang namanya menulis. Kenapa? Ya ndak tau. Dulu waktu kecil kita gak butuh banyak alasan untuk melakukan suatu hal, kan? You just did that for no specific reason. Karena suka nulis, waktu kecil gue suka ngirimin tulisan ke majalah Arif (yang anak 90-an mungkin tau), majalah bulanan yang isinya latihan soal-soal pelajaran selama di SD . Seinget gue, sebanyak 2 atau 3 kali cerpen gue berhasil dimuat di covernya. Sayangnya gue udah gak tau ke mana itu majalahnya :( Satu tulisan merupakan hasil kolaborasi dengan teman gue, selebihnya hasil pemikiran sendiri. Karena menulis pula, waktu SD gue berhasil menjadi salah satu delegasi Konferensi Anak Bobo 2004. Sebuah achievement yang paling membanggakan buat gue di masa itu. Gimana enggak, jaman dulu konferens...

Beberapa hari belakangan ini hidup gue udah kayak zombie. Kerjaan tiap hari cuma bisa bangun-makan-nonton-tidur-bangun-makan-tidur lagi. Semenjak kelar internship hidup ini berasa kosong dan hampa, kayak hati ini *hahaha* Kenapa? Ya gara-gara result assessment internship belum keluar-keluar. Beneran gak jelas deh ini apakah gue bakal lanjut di tempat kerja itu atau enggak huhu :( Mungkin salah kalau gue berharap ketinggian. Gue ngerasa harapan gue makin tipis buat keterima kerja di situ. Sudah hampir 2 minggu semenjak hari terakhir magang dan belum ada kepastian tentang hasilnya gimana dan masuknya kapan :( Dan yang lebih parah gue gak ada plan B oh God :( Udah gak ngerti mau apply ke mana lagi kalau di situ gak dapet T_T Just pray for the best aja nih.

Hey, again! It’s been a long time not writing in this space, so this is gonna be the very first post of this month. I was simply… too busy. I am currently enjoying my current job as an IT auditor (though I’m still an intern there). But anyway, I have a great news to share : I AM OFFICIALLY EUGENIA SEPTHARIANI, S.E. It feels like a 10-ton burden was finally released from my shoulder LOL.  Jadi ceritanya pada 11 Februari 2016 yang lalu, resmilah gue menyandang gelar Sarjana Ekonomi. After 3,5 years of struggle, finally all the goals were successfully achieved. Gue masih inget banget di awal tahun kuliah gue tulis : lulus kuliah 3,5 tahun dan yudisium dengan nilai A. Thank God , semua boleh tercapai dengan baik!  Pengen curhat sedikit, sebelum hari-H sidang, sebenernya senewen dan deg-degannya udah dimulai sejak pertengahan Januari. Iya, Januari. Saat-saat yang merupakan "neraka" bagi para auditor alias PEAK SEASON haha. Gue inget banget ada satu hari di tanggal 2...

It's 2k16 already guys... 2016! Makin ke sini kok sepertinya waktu itu jadi semakin cepat ya berlalunya... Like in a blink of eyes, tiba-tiba udah hampir 4 hari aja nih waktu berlalu di 2016. Bicara tentang 2016, resolusi utama gue tentunya adalah lulus secepatnya dan bisa wisuda di bulan April. Yang kedua adalah semoga dapet kerjaan pertama di company yang bagus dan mapan  di bulan Juni ( hopefully dapat permanent offer di tempat gue magang sekarang ini. AMIN). Terus yang ketiga semoga bisa jalan-jalan alias traveling serta explore lebih banyak tempat di tahun ini. Selain itu tentu saja gue berharap sama Tuhan agar selalu dilimpahkan kesehatan, perlindungan, rezeki dan berkat untuk gue sekeluarga. Terkait dengan blog ini, gue udah mencanangkan supaya setiap 1 bulan gue wajib nge-post 4 biji jadi  at least sekalian melatih gue untuk terbiasa menulis juga hehe :D Sebenarnya masih banyak sih wishlist gue yang harus diwujudkan tahun ini. Tapi karena panjangnya bisa ...

"Stop being who you were and change into who you are" - Paulo Coelho Page 365 of 365. It's been a very great and challenging year. I thank God for His unlimited blessings and guidance  Thank you for always being there and supporting me, dear family and friends. Successfully achieved a lot of things this year (some were off from my 2015 wishlist ) • Got 3 precious internship opportunities (Global Expandia, Adaro Indonesia and PwC Indonesia) which have made me prepared for the real professional world. Adapt, learn and never settle! • Stepped out from my comfort zone and moreover made my childhood dream comes true : MotoGP Sepang • Travelled to Cikole and Yogyakarta with Beswan Djarum 30 for Character Building and Leadership Development and went to Malaysia at my own expense  • Learned many important things such as effective communication, persistence and patience through the writing process of thesis *pray for the thesis defense in 2016* • Went to Jakarta'...

Well, well.. this is my first blogpost that talks about traveling, anyway :D I finally managed myself to get a short escape to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The first reason I went there was because I've been longing to watch MotoGP live race; as I have written on my previous post. Malaysia is my second country that I've traveled to, after Singapore. So here we go, my Kuala Lumpur travel diary... Welcomed by Neymar :D

Heyho! It's been a long time again not writing in this space. Life's been terribly busy recently *AH SOK SIBUK* padahal tiap hari I literally doing nothing except staring for hours to my laptop, doing my thesis xD Puji Tuhan, the progress of my thesis is so far so good. Now I'm starting to write chapter 4. Lagi rada nge-stuck juga sih mau nulis apa yaa di bab pembahasan ini hehe. Terus belakangan ini udah sering ditanyain "Gimana skripsinya? Udah sampe mana?" Akhirnya gue merasakan juga penderitaan mahasiswa tingkat akhir; sakit bok ditanyain begituan. Kuping mulai sensitif :") Gonna overcome it soon biar target akhir bulan ini tercapai. Anyway, biar kerjaan gak cuma skripsian doang, gue dan 2 orang teman memutuskan untuk iseng-iseng ikut lomba CIMB ASEAN Stock Challenge 2015. Yep, lomba stock trading alias main saham. Tapi yang bedanya ini levelnya ASEAN bok! Pesertanya pun ada sekitar 2800-an universitas dari negara-negara ASEAN. Lumayan bisa buat dipa...

1. If you do anything, do this first one: learn how to work hard and stick with something. Learn how to turn off Facebook and control your addiction to social media. You’ll instantly be ahead of 90% of your generation. 2. Video games are a time sink. If you can play for an hour and say “That was fun, let’s do something else” then you’re ok. Otherwise, just get rid of them. 3. Pick up an athletic hobby that you can do through the years, or your sedentary academic lifestyle will do horrible things to your posture, back, and gut. 4. Learn how to deal with interpersonal conflicts. Read Crucial Conversations and practice - it’s a lifechanger. 5. Learn as much programming as you can. It’s never a bad idea to learn a programming language (unless that language is COBOL—just kidding, you can even make money coding in COBOL). 6. Learn how to display data in R. 7. Learn how to talk on the phone with people you don’t know. It still terrifi...

"Everything will be alright. We just keep dancing like we're... 22!" Now it's TayTay's song to keep continuously playing in my head . Happy birthday to myself! How old are you now? Well, I'm 17... 5 YEARS AGO :D Yes. I'm 22 now! Can't believe it though cos my outer appearance still looks like a kid. It's more like a 22-year-old mind girl but trapped in a little girl's body HAHAHA. But thank God for all Your blessings until today. Thank you for everything :") Thank you for those who wishes me 'happy birthday'. Really appreciated it! Time flies. I'm on my (hopefully) very last semester in college and gotta be ready for the "real life." I hope I can be even moreeee mature and wise than before. Gotta keep reminding myself that I AM 22 NOW. TWENTY-TWO. You are not a little girl anymore! I'm now lady in the making. YESSS. Bicara tentang harapan. Gue berharap di umur 22 ini semoga bisa menaikkan diri ke ...

Nulis Random Day 2 Today is KRS day for batch 2012. KRS is basically a process where you choose your subjects and classes according to the available schedule. At 6.30 p.m, I'm done with my KRS. Thank God it went well, although I have to wait for an extra 15 minutes because I got kicked from the system for a while. I am hoping so much that it will be the very very last KRS in my college *pray* Now, it's time to focus on choosing what the topic for thesis might be ;) May the thesis be completed as soon as possible (3 months hopefully), face the thesis defense very well and graduate on time; exactly next year on April 2016! And last but not least, got an amazing job where I can learn and grow professionally before I graduated *pray* Wish me luck! Anyway lately I always get some kind of writers' block. Like, you have already got the ideas to pour down into writings but you just can't. Damn my brain :( Maybe I should just try to spit it out whatever crossed in my mi...

2014 has been such a splendid and amazing year for me. There were tons of best moments in 2014. I can say that by far, it is a year full of life lesson, blessings, and developing process for me. I think that 2014 is the point in my life when I experience how is it like to be in a real world. Work (even though not a "real" one), friendship, family, value of things, time and health. I can say that I regret nothing from all things that 2014 has taught me because those precious experiences will be needed to shape a better me in 2015! I hope 2015 will be as good as 2014. Let's welcome 2015 with positive thoughts and energy! Reminiscing 2014....

Seperti biasa, hari ini begitu banyak pikiran yang bermunculan di dalam kepala gue seolah sudah gak sabar untuk dituangkan ke dalam blog. Banyak banget topik yang ingin gue tulis.. . but so little time :( (atau gue nya aja ya yang masih belum bisa me- manage waktu dengan baik) Pulang kuliah atau rapat yang ada gue langsung ketiduran dengan puasnya. Abis ngerjain tugas, tenaga udah abis, lalu balik lagi tidur dan gak sempet menulis. Dan gak cuma masalah waktu aja sebenarnya, tapi gue menulis masih nurutin mood. Kalau mood lagi gak bagus, ya jadinya males nulis deh :( Gue masih berusaha mencoba untuk rajin dan disiplin menulis, yah at least di blog ini dulu deh. Teratur setiap minggunya paling enggak satu b logpost per minggu. Kenapa gue jadi demanding gini bahwa gue mesti lebih teratur nulis? Karena gue baru dapet e-mail yang menyatakan kalau gue keterima untuk jadi volunteer sebuah komunitas dengan tagline " Write for Humanity " di mana gue akan menjadi salah satu con...

So today is my day. And next year is Taylor Swift's turn to continously singing in my head. I'm officially being 21. It doesn't feel weird anymore since I've reached my second decades in my life a year ago hehe. Well... to be honest, I'm just feeling grateful, happy but somehow I feel "biasa aja". Mixed feelings. Don't you think as we grow up, we somehow lost that "happy feelings" of celebrating birthday? I do. This morning I don't feel like expecting what will my birthday looks like. It's just like another regular day.
