Diary of D #7: Taxes, Taxes!

Guess who forgot the keys again? Me! Anyway, I've just gone back from the Tax Office and got educated on, you guess it, tax. I made my first yearly tax report and it's quite easy. Am I still confused about some things related to it? Why, yes, of course. However, I'd like to learn step by step on how to understand it all. Really hope that my parents will come back home real soon. My butt is cramping up sitting on the ground like this! P.S. Today's my birthday! Love, Daud.

Diary of D #5: Job Seeking is Hard

Seriously I've had numerous occasions where I'd go to a website and apply for a job as listed on it. Plenty of times applied, plenty of times rejected. Personally, I've faced plenty of problems regarding this experience. There are far too many companies out there that seek for loyalty and trust, but when I really get to think about it, it's more of a problematic facade. After all, even with further prospect of getting accepted into the position available, I'm still a jobseeker who is yet to be accepted. There's some kind of dissonance here; it seems to me that companies and their loyal and trusted people expect job seekers to place their mental condition as if they're already a part of the successful company without acknowledging that it hasn't even happened. It's quite disheartening to experience this. It does feel manipulative, in a way, though I'm not going to start accusing or blaming some parties yet. More and more these days it feels harder...

Diary of D #4: Habit and Its Meaning

Rumination Many times I've found myself asking about the relevance of my recent activities as someone who's unemployed and also in need of new sensations just to make my life seems filled with, at least, something rather than nothing. I began to observe my own behavior and perhaps, even, habit that I kept on doing on daily basis. Almost appears as a cycle, my constant need to surf the web/internet to take a look at certain things such as popular music and popular culture, movies, comic books specifically the X-Men, and basic graphic design on a site like Photoroom. I've been trying to find new jobs for me and that hasn't been fruitful. I find myself leaning towards the tendency to compensate my lack of activities, courtesy of not having a job, with mundane tasks that are available as long as my internet data plan is enough to do so. As a portion of my life is dedicated to spend time on the worldwide web, the other portion goes into doing even more ordinary things at hom...

A Song? Could Be.

I wrote these sentences on May 21st  at 13:39 on my paper diary. It's a song — or at least supposed to be one—called " Under the Skyline ". If all of the things I've said would not bring me closer to heaven, If all of the things I've ever done would only bring me blues. Will I ever get to break through? Will I ever succeed or will I fail? The things that I've once believed have never been able to tame me And everything I've once held dear has only made me fool. Would you care enough to guide me Through my forsaken faith and bated breath? 'Cuz under the skyline, there's so much I knew I had to do, I know for sure, my whole life Have been searching for some kind of answer That I've tried to find but never did. How will I know if there's ever gon' be tomorrow? How can I trust my faith when I'm already losing hope? And how will I learn not to cling onto hope If it only gon' bring me great sorrow? I don't know. Will I ever get t...

Diary of D #3: Being a Christian is...

Fascinating No, really.  I am Christian. Not my name, of course, but my faith. However, it's also notable that the faith/religion is deep rooted in Hebrew Judaism rather than appearing out of nowhere. I mean, wasn't Jesus Christ a man from Israel? As an Indonesian who gets to be a Christian, it's been sorta strange. After all, Indonesia itself has plenty of indigenous faith native to the territory. But those beliefs would just be classified as paganism, wouldn't they? Filtered through the lens of Westernism, such as European or American approach (or both!), the experience of the Christians vary from one place to another. For  this  Christian, however, it really is peculiar. Knowing Indonesian relations with Israel, and Palestine, plus an awareness of how much of my life is dictated by this admittedly foreign yet not exactly  pagan  faith while at the same time something more native to my homeland should just be labeled as plain archaic belief...yeah....

Diary of D #2: Welp

Nobody's gonna know Oh, they're gonna know. How will they know? 'cuz I'm gonna tell them! So, I failed the job test that I had told you readers about in the first entry of Diary of D. Well, it's not that I failed, but it felt like that. So sad... anyway . I'm currently writing this from my mobile phone, that's why it feels sort of weird. It's alright, I guess. I think life has been very patchy and rocky and welpy for me. Optimism is very much needed to sustain my sanity. I'd like to believe that things will get better like what Agnez Mo had said multiple eons ago in her Indomaret album that's still not available anywhere else, not even digitally like girl wyd, but I don't know. Now, I currently feel dejected. But, I will rise again. Just you wait, world, I'm coming to get my bright future! Yas! 😊

Diary of D #1: Hi!

I'm back Good evening everyone! It's currently eleven p.m. here in Jakarta, Indonesia, and I've just finished my test. What test you may ask? Well, a job test of course! So here's my situation: I had graduated with a bachelor's degree in Political Science back in September of 2020, went back to East Jakarta from Medan, have been living with my parents since then and...voila! Nothing else! Imagine my frustration. Too intense. Anyway, I've been seeking and applying for various jobs since March (maybe April) of 2021. It's been no use so far, and I think I know why, because my experience is minuscule. I mean, I pretty much had no other activities during college because all I knew about was studying nonstop. So, that's what I did. Until I didn't. I need to tell you how infuriating it was to be unable to contact my lecturer as I was making my final paper. It was so bad, definitely don't want to experience it again. My lecturer wasn't a bad person b...

Happy Mothers' Day!!!

Hey everyone, how's your life? Great, or just ordinary like usual? Me? Great of course! Today is the worldwide MOTHERS' DAY which means, this day (Tuesday..) is the day of every mothers in every continent of this world. Or I mean in Earth. Happy Mothers' Day! How much you love your mom? As big as the whole world, or just a little bit? For me, it's so big. Too big even to be compared with the Earth. Seriously, this is no joke. I still remember when my mom taught me since I was still a little innocent kid (LOL who knows I was that innocent XD ok stop!) until now, the moment which I'm a teenager now... And still wondering about how hard her efforts to make me like my... ughhh... MEALS.... LOL I know that's funny! But you must know one thing about me. When I was little, I was very hard to eat. Even to chew my food, it took up almost 10 minutes. I'm serious! It may sound very strange and unlikely, but it is true! I just want to eat if there were any crackers ...

Kejutan!

Hai semua! Hari ini, setelah berabad-abad gw ga nulis apapun di blog ini, akan mulai berkicau (dikira twitter-_-") lagi. Yeahhhh!!! Sekarang, gw bakal cerita tentang pengalaman gw di sekolah dua hari yang lalu... Dimulai saat gw membantu teman gw, Ivana, menemukan jam tangannya yang hilang... Waktu itu, kelas gw a.k.a X-4, baru selesai belajar Biologi. Kita semua pun kembali ke kelas. Lalu negara api pun datang dan menghancurkan kelas dan... tunggu, ini cerita apaan._.? Ok, balik ke cerita. Pas gw dan yang lainnya udah balik ke kelas, terdengar suara Ivana nangis. Gw tadinya ga sadar kalau yang nangis itu dia, tapi pas gw lihat ke bangkunya, benarlah! Dia lagi nangis dengan syahdunya (?) Teman-teman gw pun mengerubunginya seperti segerombolan semut apa lebah gitu... Halahh, ngaco lagi kan >.< Terus, gw pun ke Ivana. Gw nanya, "Lo kenapa Van?" Dia pun jawab gw dengan kata-kata mengejutkan bagaikan petir di siang bolong! "JAM GUE HILANG......
