Forgotten Things

What a hectic days!

The period of mid-exams and final exams are absolutely the most hectic period for me. The schedule is so tight lately. Moreover there are always a lot of assignments to do with an additional assignments, what-so-called TUBES (TUgas BESar), in the end of semester or mid-semester. Oh well, let's not complaining about how it is not easy to be an ITB student.
 
Last Saturday, I went swimming in a one of a hotel in Cihampelas street. It was 7 in the morning and I saw no one in the pool area. The square shaped pool is not so big, but it's definitely enough for one person :p.  That day I just swam for about 40 minutes. I did want to extend my swimming time if I could, but as usual I always have other things to do hfffttt.....
 
I am not really a sporty girl, but I do love to do some particular physical activities like swimming, running (jogging), I played tennis too, and of course going to the gym. Lately, rarely go to the gym. I really want to go there more often but it feels like I am getting lazy especially after the 2 months of holidays... Nowadays, every time I finish an exam or an assignment, all I want is to go back to my room and do nothing literally. People say the hardest part to accomplish something is to start it. So, I guess I have to start all over again and put a bit more intention and motivation to be back as a gym rat.
 
About a couple weeks ago, I went to Villa Istana Bunga for one-night-vacation with my friends from Ubala. I was a little hesitate whether to join them or not because I thought ever Ubala's member would be joining the event. In fact, I was so relief when I arrived there and I found out that it was an event of Ubala 2011 only. To be honest, I was not so comfortable at the very first time being among them, in the recruitment period to be exact. I felt like a complete stranger! Generally, they originally came from Lampung and already knew each other before they went here. Some of them were from the same college. Sometimes, I also felt unconnected with the topics they are talking about, moreover when they start to talk about Lampung.. C'mon guys, I just know Teluk Betung (my grandparents' house) and Candra Supermarket. LOL.
 
I have to admit that it was awkward for me at first. My attendance in their event was probabilistic. But, the lovely thing about them was they never gave up. They kept on contacting me to come and join them, greet me whenever I met them, and so on. There was a senior whom I (and everybody) called Ka Kevin. One day when I was still a Ca-Ubala, we were walking cross to each other in the shelter road behind PLN building. I knew him because I had seen him at Ubala before, but I didn't know whether he knew me or not. Surprisingly, when we were 2 steps away from each other he said "Hai Del" then I spontaneously nodded my head as a greeting and said "Kaa...". At that moment, I said to myself "owh.. he (a senior) knows me." because I didn't think that anyone knew me. When I met my Ubala friend, I told them what happened and she said "He is Kiyay Ubala!" FYI, Kiyay is a calling for "Ketua Ubala". Somehow, it was one of my memorable moments with Ubala-ers.
 
Back to the topic, the event which is Makrab Ubala 2011 was a reminder for me on how I love and miss them at the same time. I spent a good times with them. Perhaps, the first time I met them, I just didn't know how to blend in. I still remember the look on their face at the time I was in the stage for Pemilihan Putra Puteri Budaya ITB. They looked even more nervous than I did. LOL! Ubala didn't have many members like other local community like UKM or LSS. But I did appreciate their presence and the way they motivated me during the show. I am sure that they played a major role for how I can be Putri Budaya. That was so sweet to be honest :) :')
 
The whole thing that I did recently remind me of how I have forgotten the important things in my life. To do your hobbies and to spend time with the people you love are the things that differentiate you from a working robot. That what makes you a human! In case you are about to do the same mistake I did, I just want to remind you:  It is an obligation to do your job, but having a little bit of fun is also important. Probably, this is what people say "work hard, play hard".
 
Well, I guess I just made another long-diary-article -_-. Well, this is how I share my story :)
 
 
Gallery bonus for my faithful reader ;)
 
I guess, I was answering the final question.

My (Bad) Habit

How are you doing, people???
 

I took a long nap this afternoon after a couple days of hard work a.k.a examinations. That's why I haven't felt sleepy right now (FYI, it's 1 AM already). I had quite a hectic schedule last weekend because I had to attend my boyfriend's cousin's engagement (well, it seems complicated). Therefore, I had lack of preparation for the exams. Well, let's not talk about that..
 
I rarely post any article lately without any intention to abandon my blog. I might be experiencing the 'saturated phase' right now. Every time any ideas emerge in my mind, I am making up a story on my brain "So this is what I am going to write in my blog blahblah..." However, the concepts never really implemented and become a real article. Sometimes, too much planning is not good. Maybe every time I think of an idea for my next article, I just need to open my laptop immediately and start writing. I guess it's going to be more effective. Well, it worth a try!
 
By the time I observe my own habit, I start to realize that the main reason of (almost) every procrastination I did is TV! Every time I turn my TV on, I became unproductive. It's like being a no-lifer in front of the television. Moreover, if there is a TV program that I like then my focus will be completely diverted. TV and bed is like the perfect match for me. Somehow, the gravitation on my bed is much stronger that makes me always want to stay on bed.
 
However, I also find my very productive spot on my room which is my study table. But, I don't really like the chair because it makes my neck and my back stiff whenever I sit there for hours. Besides, my desk is filled by a lot of stuff like printer, a big pinky folder, mug/glass, stationary, paper, etc. It makes my latitude way smaller and limited. I am not so comfortable with that condition. To be honest, I like tidiness but cleaning up is not really my favorite thing (even tough I still do that at least once a week because I cannot stand being in a mess).
 
Whenever I think about studying in my study table, the uncomfortable things come first and it makes me chose to study in the bed which I realize is less effective yet so comfortable (even too comfortable). But every time I need to be focus / serious to do something, I always go to my study table. For example, this morning I woke up late but I haven't learnt every material for the today's test. So I immediately jumped up to my study table and start studying. Another positive thing about my study table is its position is in the same direction with the TV, so when I sit on the chair (of the study table) my back and my back-of-the-head will face the TV. Yep! So there is no use to turn the TV on.
 
By observing myself, I learn how to solve the problem of my own. It also helps me to know the rhythm of my study style. Now, the matter is on how I push myself to leave my comfort zone and start to do thing more effectively. This is my problem. What is yours?
