What I do love about the technology nowadays, they read our pattern of behavior to give recommendation. So do with N platform. But I guess this Series came up because of it just release on this week. From the first time I always add series and films on My List, but ended up never watched it (e.g. the hype of Kdrama series in between this pandemic season). I rather to watch something: “I guess this is cool”, “Hey, it is X actor/actress from Y movie!”, or some strangers on twitter just recommend it. Aaaaand most of all, I’ll go with the third. It happened so many times. I watched Love Guaranteed, Love Spectrum, Imperfect, Teenage Bounty Hunters, Beautiful Day in The Neighborhood and Criminal: UK. It happened with The Queen’s Gambit too. (But not all of my watched list from the recommendation by others wk wk)

Ok, maybe this post gonna be a lil bit sentimental wk wk. Hm ok. So, a month ago, someone recommended this song. And I fell for it. Later I knew this song was written by Jong Hyun (actually, I love his songs. My favorite is Breath by Lee Hi). But this version by Crush, somehow I picturesqued very well. Maybe its setting for the show itself that makes it perfectly good.

The song tells about someone longing for his/her partner. Such a deep meaning and it could make you cry at your lowest point for longing someone. Sorry, it sounds sentimental, but it is true.

But for this thought changed in an hour ha ha.

My friend and me discussed this song lately. By the discussed it awhile, suddenly I changed my mind. It's not a song about longing for someone only, but how to strengthen urself in thunderstorm too. And yes we agreed.

A few weeks ago, I listened to Raditya Dika’s Podcast. The guest of the episode was Marissa Anita, one of my favorite anchor. Almost about a year, I always tune for her episode on Great Mind. And on Dika’s podcast they were talking about Minimalism (wihhhh). One of the subtopics that I interested in is about taking a break.

Baru beres kerjaan, liat Jiwa Toast. Sebenernya agak serem sih buat sekedar takeaway doang. Tapi karena situasi store cukup sepi, gue iyain aja buat masuk.

Sambil nungguin orderan, gue liat-liat sekitar. Tadi malem gue tidur lebih malem dari biasanya. Seharian ini abis gue masuk mobil, jalan dikit tidur. Sementara gue liat-liat tl twitter, temen gue masih telponan urusan kantor.

Singkat cerita orderan kita udah bisa diambil. Temen gue? masih telponan haha. Gak jauh dari meja gue, ada bapak sama anak yang lebih muda, nunggu orderan juga. Yang muda kayaknya mencoba mengenalkan bapak ini kopi kekinian. Gue perhatiin baik-baik. Anak muda ini wajahnya meyakinkan si bapak, “es kopinya enak loh”. Ekspresi wajah bapaknya ini: awal mula liatin gelasnya, lalu kopinya beliau coba. Ekspresinya semacam bilang, "Ya boleh lah" trus diseruput lagi kopinya. It’s really fun you observe ths things. Bikin cengengesan sendiri🤭

Himawari.

Anyway, last week, I ticked one of my bucket list again. It felt good. And next week, could be my highest so far. It feels overwhelmed for sure. I hope everything's fine.

Then, Adele's Daydreamer picturesques my thought at its best, I guess 😅. Btw I just put a link here for my spotify playlist. Maybe you wanna listen (emang gue siapa wk), ya boleh lah kalo mau denger 🤪

Hmm, trus, been thinking a lot these past few weeks. Makes me excited, curious, and nervous. What I've been thinking, "should I find another options?"

I guess, for now on, I'm gonna live the moment. Let it flow. I think I'll never know the real adventure feels like, if I don't give it a try, right? Hope it's going to be bright as himawari 😊
