#dontbreakthechain

Thank you for tagging me, @dontbreakthechain, this is gonna be fun~ I only recognized some of yours but [handshake] on the ones I did

I will probably kick myself in a few minutes for forgetting something, but hey, it’s ten of your favourites, not a Top Ten List.

hehehe thank you for asking!

1- chipotle order?

Having never eaten at Chipotle in my life I cannot answer this directly (I've been inside one once, but it was to pick up a friend's little sister), but as far as vaguely-Mexican food in general I like a burrito with carnitas and refried beans. Significant quantities of lettuce also important to keep it from being like a stone in the stomach. Sour cream and guacamole important to the experience.

2- thoughts on veganism?

It's not my business what anybody chooses to put in their bodies, and if eating vegan makes someone feel healthier and more comfortable all power to them! I was vegetarian for a while in middle and high school, and quit because it was bad for my body personally, but everybody's built a little different from each other. For some folks it works great!

That said I think the supposed eco benefits have been vastly exaggerated and sometimes outright lied about; the amount of misinformation about how farms work and such makes it really difficult to have that discussion. In short: if you're vegan and you're coming over for dinner I will make sure you have something delicious and appropriate for you, but if you give me shit about eating meat we will not be friends long.

3- a specific color that gives you the ick?

Well the phrasing "gives [one] the ick" itself makes me shudder lmao. I think all colours can be lovely in different contexts but it's hard to make chartreuse work. Possible, especially out in nature where it occurs on its own! But difficult lol.

29- preferred pasta noodle?

Aaaa hi!! I see you pop up in my notes now and then and your handle always makes me smile bc then I just have Fleetwood Mac playing in my brain for the next ten minutes <3

And oh man I’m loving it and it’s fucking me up real bad hahaha. Soup. Soup, and that distraction plan, and memory issues, and aaaaaa. I just had a realization today that I’m going to put here for posterity beyond just ranting on discord (don’t tell me if I’m right or anything)

already answered 12 so i'm gonna go onto the next number

13. Odds by Mal Blum

I'll only be a couple hours late It's not that I didn't wanna go I don't know what I meant to say

i love mal's songs but this one i listened to so much because it's on my jesse pinkman playlist. really represents how everyone takes advantage of jesse, but he doesn't really know any other way

87. Wolfman by The Front Bottoms

Say what you have to say, try not to cry This is just not what you wanted At this point in your life It's so hard to stay When all you wanna do is ride I totally get you, I was a birdcage And you were meant to fly

The Importance of Maintaining Habit

"Motivation gets you started, but habits are keeping you going." (Jude Aburdan, Tedex). This sentence I hold it consciously and awarely because I believe that habits placing important position to me to keep going to reach my goals. And, indeed, motivation just get and encourage us to get started after we stuck to doing something, but in not long time we will weak again, instead habits that keep us to keep going no matter barriers that across in front of or around us.

And that what I do. Through exercises and training of mastering some skill that has meaning to my life, I just keep going this habit while forgetting my goals. And I feel like my circumstances its get closer in to my goals. I have big goal such as mastering english language and become writer, so I keep the habit to do english exercise and write some paragraph per day, without concerning my goals at all.

Learn and Work as hard as possible while you can do them

I guess we have heard one Indonesian wiseword, "Learning at Youth era like carve on the stone, while learning at Old era like carve on the water." While I on youth era, I must utilize this chance as effective as possible. This birth without any reason, the big reason that I caught from this wiseword is that while we in youth era and we have sharp mind and strong passion we must utilize it through pursue my dream.... While If I get old, and my energy has decreased, I won't to be as strong as now.

Reading English Magazine : National Geographic Magazine (Mindfulness Everyday)

I believe that one successful that we pursue it has a cost to reach out it. And this statement also applied to my dream of mastering English language. After through some barriers like understanding some articles and videos that are provided in English language, I will start to gain further experience to surf on it such as buying some books that wrote in English language.

My first English book is Offline that wrote by Desi Anwar. This book talks about how we going offline and avoided online things as our source of happiness. However, in this era that we surrounded by much distractions, we must beware of them. We must through our life mindfully and intentionally toward what we do, we must make our life indisctrable so we can control our attention and choose a choice for our life wisely.

And yesterday night ago, I have bought other English book. And in this case, especially I bought it at Prepilus Store at PIM Mall. Prepilus Bookstore is renowned bookstore in Indonesia that only provided import book, all of book bought here are in Engslih language. And because are import book the price also expensive.

At that time, 13 July 2022, I bought 3 books, at least. 1) Everyday Mindfulness, an English Magazine book that published by National Geographic, 2) Concise Grammar English, wrote by Indonesian author and I bought it at Gramedia PIM, and 3) Essay Writing : English For Academic Purposes. And for all of them I spent nearly 300 thousand Idr.

Haruki Murakami : I'm a Creature of Habit

Today, i have read Hello Habits book (wrote by Fumio Sasaki), from page 30-60. In this part, I got some lessons from him. The first lesson is that we are all of human are the creatures of habit, the product of what we do everyday. As said by expert of habits, "We are we repeatedly do."

Even in case of Haruki Murakami, Fumio Sasaki said that Haruki Murakami said that he is a creature of habits. As we know who is Haruki,,,, Haruki is one of the best author in Japan, he even promoted to become a candidate of noble in literature. Even such as him, he is a creature of habits. So big he is as excuse for successful person, Habits hold main and important rule for maintaining us to do the best, to effort on closing our dream to us.

3 Element Of Habit (According to Charles Duhigg)

As mentioned in the title of its faces, this book explained habits. As I know and I value, this book is such an explanation of the application of habits exercise. If Atomic habits conveyed habits from theory side, this one talk about how habits apply to someone's life. When I read this book I feel like I'm reading how Fumio Sasaki struggle with his exercise on build good and healthy habits into his life.

Fumio Said, as said by Charles Duhigg, there are 3 element of Habits that we all realize and aware of them. These things are cue, routine and reward. In order to build one habit, we must make the cue or trigger that can encourage us to doing the routine. And then routine it self, this core element of habits, when we do it constantly and as often as possible for shape good shade around us. And then the last is reward, reward is most important in our life, while we motivated to do something because it.

Attendance Graduation

Today, i grateful for my ability to attend into Darus-Sunnah Graduation that was held at Syahida Inn, which is located in UIN Ciputat area. Today is graduation of Mahasantri and Santri Darus-Sunnah, especially at 20th generation in Ma'had Dauli (Ashab) and at 3th generation of Madrasah Darus-Sunnah (Diamond). Troughout the day, from morning until evening, the program was held at Syahida Inn, and me and my friend attend into this activity to welcoming some parents of Santri that I become their wali asuh.

And this activity, really, make us tired and exhausted. Especially because after this program I continue that program with meeting with some parent of wisudawan for gathering and saying farewell. Hihi.

To Gaining Big Things Must Be Struggle and Persistence

After crossing the day with doing some activities such as attending graduating and farewell meeting, I felt tired and exhausted and almost I fall asleep. But, remembering I didn't fulfil my daily goals, I go awake as soon as possible for doing my daily goals.

I directly go to bathroom and washing my face in order to refreshing my body and mind, thus I became refresh and ready to continuing for fulfill my daily goals. This because, I believe, that sometime we must be struggle and persistence for gaining a big dream. As said by one word, "Struggle without sacrifice is nonsense."

I'm Grateful For...
