A Nice Monday

Monday, 22nd of April 2019


It was a nice Monday, overall. I feel better than I ever was.

I woke up before the dawn and continue my journaling. I was so glad my trip to UK few weeks ago still left in a vivid memory in my mind. I can remember the cold-fresh air, the road, the trees, the flowers, the buildings, the moments, the places, and I wrote it in my notes. I didn't remember my NY trip last year as good as this one.

After that, I read another chapter in Educated and then I continue to sleep. I woke up again for Subuh prayer.

In the morning, I ate breakfast and finished my first work. Well, there's a tiny moment where my mind is a bit anxious due to think about graduate course's preparation and lack of focus to continue my work. But, I paused and took a deep breath for a couple times. And it works. I could finally finish my assignments.

The weather was bright and sunny, and I captured my office tower through my instastory. I don't know why I want to, I did it just because I feel like I want to do it. Then, I inserted the location of Kompas Tower and "Monday" sticker.

Well, it was casual at work. I continue to email some clients and sales team, writing, had convos with my colleagues. Some of my colleagues got a group project and they decided to divide the tasks by "gambreng" lol. That afternoon until evening, I was so glad that I can put my focus on and finished many tasks.

After office, I had an appointment--haha, appointment seems so serious-with a friend of mine in Senayan City. We met near iBox, where she was being grumpy because of her phone's charger is broken and the price to buy a new one is expensive.

Then, we ate dinner at Delicae. Wahh, after surrounded the food court for a few times, my friend finally decided what to eat for her dinner. Rempong (she admit herself rempong tho). In the end, she's back to her first food choice. Meanwhile, I straightforwardly chose to ate japchae.

We talked about so many things, random things. From works, financial management, to personal life, and also about her friends "life drama" on her management trainee batch. I can't believe some people still need to add unnecessary drama on this adulthood. Adulting itself already hard, ya know.

After that, before we went home, she brought me to a small exhibition. It was wonderful. There were lights installation in the dark and some others aesthetic properties. I didn't know there was this kind of exhibition in Senayan City. This friend of mine really likes to take picture with aesthetic background, therefore, no wonder she knew this place first.

So, we did it. We took a lot of picture, hahaha. I like it as well, because the light's sparks beautifully. I even made one the photographs as my new profile picture.

I don't know why, in the end of the day, I feel so peaceful. Maybe it was a really decent day. Or maybe I'm doing better then I ever was in baby steps.

Oh, on that day I also chatted with some friends. It reminds me that my choices in the past two years lead me to meet new friends (Hara, Tyas, Kak JJ, Destri, etc) or enclose myself to some old friends that I can talk about my stories, my thoughts, or even my secrets.

For example, I began to know a person because I joined a voluntary activity. Turns out, she's being a helper when I need to share something about my progress.

The destiny seems make sense now. It introduces me to people and moments that comes to my life in the precise time that I needed. Alhamdulillah.

It was a really nice Monday in April :)
