Ramadhan 2017

Visiting Balikpapan Islamic Center. I should've blog but i forgot my camera. The mosque is unique. 

Pernah Bilang

Aku pernah bilang si gak bakal pernah rindu sama kampus. Mau cepat-cepat lulus dan just forget my college life and continue living. Beberapa kali yakin dengan ucapan itu. Hingga hari ini pas mau dekat-dekat wisuda, aku flashback lagi dari tahun 2013, apa ya yang membuatku jadi menarik kata-kata itu? Haha to be honest it's still as it is. Anyway, ini foto Oktober 2016, tiga kakak tingkat paling menyebalkan sedang duduk di depan kelas, sok cantik.

It’s Automatic

(This evening when I was heading home after paying a take a way dinner, a takoyaki, when I was about to ride my motorcycle, from afar I saw a man riding his bicycle with kind of dried fish attached to it, he sells dried fish and stuff with his bicycle, which I thought he wanted to approached me but he just slowly pass. I saw his expression, his face, he was quite exhausted I guess. He didn't see me, but when he was closer to where I stand, he looked at my eyes and I was just give him a big smile. He smile back. I can't really talk to him tho because he was still in his moving bicycle but that time I was standing still and make me thinking if my smile is cheering enough for him. Because I really wanted to cheer him. When you see someone you don't know (or even you know) there is nothing much you gave exchange/talk with each another other than a smile. So I smile.)

Keep me thinking for this boring Saturday night: I sometimes got my friend ask me tho, about why am I smiling a lot to stranger. About how i should not give a stranger a wide smile. About what the hell was I smiling about? 

Well, why shouldn't I? It’s just automatic.
When people like accidentally eye to eye with me, I dont know and I don't care if he/she is bad or good person, I'm just automatically smile.  I might find the occasional person who doesn't respond, but it is really okay for me. I don’t need to know everyone’s story and I don’t need to understand why he/she doesn't respond. 

I remember a woman I smile to e.v.e.r.y.t.i.m.e. I passed her fruit stall in the traditional market but she never smile back, later she then become my bestfriend. I remember a man from a building construction men thank me for smiling at them. I remember when a group of taxi men catcalling me in the street, but I didn't make my walk faster, nor did I give them my insulted expression, instead I smile back and wave "hello, keep spirit, Sir!". And I always be like that. I.JUST.SMILE.BACK and I'm fine with them. 

Some friends think I am crazy, some thinks I'm looking for attention, but I really had no good reason not to smile at everyone. That's why since then, my highschool friends knew my term "senyum sampai telinga". Bcoz my idea about a smile: It has to be wide no matter how weird we look, :)

Fine Mornings

Did I ever tell you that I love white messy bed ?

Last Friday, East Kutai tourism management has arrange my stay in Balikpapan for attending the Grand Final of Balikpapan Tourism Ambassador 2017 on Saturday, March 4th 2017.  No offense but so far this is the best hotel I ever sleep in as a tourism ambassador (TA) journey, hahaha. I usually go back and forth to Balikpapan as a normal citizen, staying in the house and bla bla bla. Also through this TA Journey I usually stay in some nice hotels, but Grand Jatra Balikpapan is one real fancy stay. The hotel is connected with the E-walk mall so whenever you feel bored just go down to reach the mall.

I woke up at 7, having breakfast and go straight to the gym. Another day I jumped to the pool. And another morning, I went to the jacuzzi with hot pool and enjoy Balikpapan view in height. Did I ever tell you about i like the  portrait of white messy bed ? This picture describe my fine mornings. Thankyou.

Just The Two of Us

Can not really sleep last night. So when I was randomly watching Youtube, this music hit me. 

Never a big fan of Jazz. But this is so cool. Not the lyric but there's something in the melody. I can't choose between two of these covers, so I give you both links. (I like the covers better) Michael Sanchez cover and  Skinny Living cover . This music hit me at the perfect time. 1.30-ish AM with dim lighting from my fairy lamps above my bed. 

Whenever I found sexy music (well in my opinion, this music is sexy), instead of imagining bed scene, I always imagine myself in the fancy kitchen. Cooking.       So weird, but yeah. I enjoy this music in the morning right after I run or in the evening tea time or , again, while I'm cooking.

Digital Tattoo

The idea of identity is an interesting one and is quite complex. Who you are reflex both how you see yourself and how others see you. Both of which are relevant when it comes to your digital identity. You knew the concept about it but what is really digital identity mean? According to my research on Binary Tattoo , digital identity is a permanent collection of data about you that is available online.

Consider all of the data about you that is online. What is on social media, your pages, other's pages, do you feel that the information and images on say Instagram or Facebook represent who you are? Are you ready with the people judgment about you by just seeing your desperate caption for example?

What if another person competing for an opportunity or scholarship or job against you had establish a positive digital presence? They've got only positive photos and comments on social media or a blog that they publish regularly representing their thoughts on issues related to what he/she believe. They created descent e-portfolio about themselves. If you have something good about you to share to the world why then you prefer to post something say negative things about your weird exboyfriend? If you have the opportunity to let other people judge you "online", is that really worthy to post

outrageous things nobody care?

In my opinion about how Indonesian youth nowadays use all the platform for creating their digital identity has disappoint me to the fullest and it make me kind of sick, really. I thought that with all of this technology, we all can be one powerful source for this nation. We all can at least smarter by all of the tech facilities helping us to study something. And for now this is what i concern about. How this all social media can empower Indonesian youth identity.

You have the opportunity to create your digital identity by joining and optimizing your presence on social networks like Facebook, twitter, Instagram,to make it easy for people to learn about you. You have your brain to think about keeping things private that should be private. Why should you care about all this stuff? Well it's important that you realize that your digital identity isn't just a footprint you're leaving on a web. It's much more like a tattoo. A permanent documentation of you. So be sure to create a digital tattoo that you'll be proud of for years to come.

*for the shake of Indonesia, please try to be smart.

Update January 2018 : 

I always remeber this quote from

- Arnold Schwarzenegger : When you're out there partying, horsing around, someone out there at the same time is working hard, someone is getting smarter, and somebody is winning, just remember that.

So whenever I feel lazy or just want to having fun wasting time or less motivated, I always motivate my self that someone out there is busy train him/herself to become better. I take everyday as a competition. I dont know who I compete with but I want to be THAT person who become better everyday by consistently doing what s/he passionate about and eventually become a usefull person in the society. One small stuff starting from : I do care about my digital tattoo, my footprints, my personal branding. I want people to acknowledge me as a person who value knowledge. 

My expression reacted to today's social media users. 

"Can you not?"

The Sea

About the sea. I never really excited to go to the beach nor that I hate it. I just thougt that it is a place where most people throw away their emotions and mostly thats a bad emotion. For me, the beaches reminds me of guiltiness, sadness, and broken heart. But here are two of my favorite photos this year that i really really like. I like the purple tone on it. Pantai Tanjung Jumlai, Penajam Paser Utara.

January 10th 2017 -  In Front of the Big Mall's Starbucks - Happy Birthday To Me. 

What a blog. 

There's so much thing happened in 2016 and I didn't really put it on blog karena I personally don't really care about a blog post anymore that time. Mulai dari cerita KKN.ku, pemilihan duta wisata, berangkat ke Papua, dan lain-lain yang tak di pos disini tapi di Instagram or my youtube. Aku sendiri prefer to make everythings into video and that's why i never really check this blog yang sudah penuh dengan sarang kalajengking. And somehow, right now, I feel like I want to post something here. 2016 was really awesome. I once thougt that it will be boring but really I thanked a lot to God in 2016 experiences.

2017.

There’s always a fresh feeling when it comes to new year. Especially for me, the first month of the year is my month. The feeling of starting something new. Because at this month is where I was born. 10 January is my birthday. The last couple age I feel like it’s the best age of my life because 21, 22, I can be free yet responsible for my life. But for now, 23, I can’t say I am a “young” adult anymore. Welcome to the adulthood Puput Islamitha. I feel a bit weird though when it was January 10^th – which is yesterday – I woke up and and I feel like no big deal, its like any other day for me. As always every year, paling bangun pagi, berdoa yang sangat khusuk, beli kue sendiri, terus reflect on what I have been accomplished. More like somebody welcoming me like welcome to the reality. But ya, cannot lie, some people’s chat/text makes me happy. But believe me when I say it is okay for anyone to not say anything to me on my birthday. I am just fine. Tapi itu bukan artinya aku don’t celebrate my friends atau someone special birthday ya. I do celebrate my relatives’ bday. I am happy for you on your bday.

Anyway, 23. It’s time for me to arrange everything in a mature way of thinking walaupun I'm still wondering kemana pathku mengarahkanku. Tapi aku percaya ketika kita punya goal yang baik, alam semesta dan every particle in this universe actually lead us to reach what we want. (My goal list is kind of private, hahaha, i was just typed it on my phone and checklist whenever it'll accomplished.) Darimana kekuatan alam semesta itu muncul? Dari niat kita yang so powerfull. Human being is just atoms. Just think this whole thing in the universe are supportive atoms. I start my 23 with the thought about ‘woman’s dignity’.  I will tell you more about it in the next post. This is the photo of 23 years old Puput Islamitha. A girl who need more achievements.
