Did you ever count how many plastic bags in one day you get?
one time I went to a traditional market, I can get 2 plastic bags from one seller. How if I went to 10 sellers in one time I went to market? I will get 20 plastic bags and they will end up in the trash. Maybe I should try to bring my own container.
Jakarta.. The capital city of Indonesia. The megacity. The most attractive city for Indonesian to work and live in. 10.56 million people live legally, and more than that illegally. Why? it is because they commute between the peripheries, work and spend their day from 9 to 5 in Jakarta. Living in Jabodetabek and living from the wheels in Jakarta. As a center of Indonesia's economy, the center of government, and also the center of most livability in Indonesia.
But, as a person who grows up in a small city.. Live and work in Jakarta never cross my mind my whole time. I always dreamed how I spend my time and of course my whole time in Yogyakarta, in my home since I was little, and I just leave it for my masters or maybe PhD. and of course back to my peacefully small town and teach in my alumni.
Then, someone makes me change my whole time plan. yes, because I was young and falling in love - at the same time broken heart. He makes me think to try and change my plan to see Indonesia. Living in the new town, living in Jakarta, and of course, live with my own. And I did. I fall to others and many job seeking. I got my first job in the center of Jakarta, in Sudirman street which I never know how people trying so hard to work there before. I never knew how prestigious work there and of course never cross in my stupid-innocent-mind how I will looking skyscraper every day when I work. Too good to be true. And short time, I decided to spend my rest here, Jakarta. Working and living also bought my first property here. I live not too far from Jakarta but still, my mom thinking about how far I live from Jakarta.... I just live maybe 5 or 6 km from Jakarta's borders. And I still get good public transportation in here; Busway, KRL, and I will get MRT. Because I bought an old house in an old community, I got a really good price and condition (in my opinion of course). But then, the big problem is my first flood experience ever... Yeah Me and my husband living on a low budget and first experience in flood. The good thing is my nice and kind neighbor help us a lot. lucky us.
Our first flood experience teaches us a lot. It is nightmare for us. We never ever sleep peacefully if rains come. We wake up a lot and checking our daily water level. Like every 3 hours. And we started to talk to move to other neighborhoods. But, where we can find the free flood place and near from city center with a lot of facilities like our neighborhood? also with a really good price? thinking about an apartment? well no, both of us knowing how sucks apartment law in Indonesia. And we think about having a child and it is a bad place for growing our kids. another reason, we don't have enough money to buy a good apartment. Just thinking about 500.000.000 rupiah and you just get a very small apartment.....
and tonight, I just realize how many families thinking to leave Jakarta but stuck with it. And the conclusion is to take it or leave it. With the bad side of Jakarta, we still need life in here. and try to love our loveable flood house.
How if your dream is not to attach with the job? How if, you feel different from others?
I'm so afraid of being attached or stayed in one place in a long time.
Working 8 hours day by day and forgetting about enjoyed life. I afraid meeting a toxic working environment and bad boss then I can't leaving them as soon as possible.
After getting lay off from my latest job,
i feeling disappointed about myself. I was feel fail,not good enough and worst thing is uncappable.
then
I need break time maybe nine months to think what is my passion.

This is my first time in my life, Flood. Not in my boarding house, but in my own house.
How hard cleaning up everything I have after the flood. This 3 a.m and I woke up to saving everything I can reach to.
After one week,
4 March 2021
Not finished yet, but better than before. I can use my kitchen, my floor feel smooth and I can't feel the dust.
In front of my laptop, I look for
What Tangerang Selatan Government did after every year Tangerang Selatan especially my neighborhood flood?
and what I found?
Nothing
Yeah, as a regional planner I can't found any file on the internet about their prevention of disaster. Fyi, as a public document, it should easy to find it. And I just found 1 file with how many laptops in every section have. I don't find any map, strategic planning, etc.
Like... wtf
They should have in public access to strategic planning, the map, and explanation in every sub-district. This place located near Jakarta, one of the supermegagiga big city in Asean. This Tangerang selatan is a buffer city for Jakarta. And they don't know how to put strategic planning on the internet.
I feel living in a remote area with everybody just leave from the pre historic area.
For almost 1 week I have been taking an English course using zoom. I never thought it will be normal to take an English course in a cheaper way. I do not need time to go to the English course ( Gas, makeup every day, changing clothes, throw 1 hour for driving time). I just need to spend 20 minutes using hijab ( maybe less in 1 hour) and open my laptop. Everything just so easy for me. My English teacher, he does not need to take or maybe spend money for house rent, chairs, or table to us. He just needs to preparing good material and good connection. There will be a new future. 😀
So, I saw my corruption blog post draft. I curious why I'm so scared to write down about that?
Maybe because I really like and enjoy my toxic work 😊.
one month ago, I reported one of my coworker about fraud cases. She has stolen some money for the guard honor. not much. The total she has stolen is around 3000 USD. Its government funding. After we checked her name on google, she caught it because she trying to fraudulence some kids in her online shop. One month later after the cases finish, my office stopped my contract. I do not if it relates or not, but it hurt me so much. I feel useless and not compatible and the worst feeling is i feel not good enough. I don't know why, but still, it hurt me much.
There is a lot of corruption and nepotism and for someone who has no one, it's call suicide.
You cant kill people
You cant steal

Papua as part of Indonesia has the most biodiversity in the world. Papua has all hopes from Indonesia and the world as a virgin tropical forest. As a top focus development by Joko Widodo, deservedly developed in Papua has a principle in sustainable development. Forest has an important role in climate, freshwater, soil, and Bioversity which food security and other human life bases.

More than 50% Papua land is forest and it makes it close to human lives. Forest to Papua community is a mother and living kitchen which supply Papua livelihood. Looking for importance papua forest, papua developed should aimed green economy developed. Green economy focused on economic development acceleration and escalation human welfare without reducing the impact on the environment.
The green economy vision for Papua can be seen following:

The proper sustainable development should have planning, design, construction, and maintenance with less erosion and deforestation.

The local community not only for the subject program but also an innovator and contributor in Papua development planning. This can make strong sense ownership for Papua.
3. Ecotourism using local community
The local community not only for empowerment but also for initiator and contribution for every goal with a proposal. The expert direction, supervision, and government funding can be the human capital relationship between the community and their environment. the ecotourism development should be moving society with the identification of community influencers and stakeholders. Approaching public figures can make programs receive sooner in the community.
4. Live Monitoring for implementation land use management and forest management can use the newest technology along timely using satellite for looking land-use change. This monitoring should be done by national and the worldwide monitoring

A few days ago, stock discussion fulfill on social media timeline.
Many friends trying to contact me and ask for suggestion how to start playing in stock world. Stock itself it is not something you can play with. This mindset made me to tell the first mindset about stock. Please, Stock is your money. We are not just seeing screen full of number but it is all about your money. And if you can not think wisely about how you manage your money, please stay away from stock market. If your stock can not give you money, who should take a responsibility?
When I started invest on market stock, I keep in my mind to think it's not trading. It is my money, who I got from one month working. I cannot be trader, I just put my money and its not a game. I used my cold money which folks said. Its farther money I used to live everyday. When I started, I feel the money is missing. I can not take it easily. I start since 2017 and never take it back until 2020 for pay my first property. Luckily, i have some lots BBCA. I bought in 23 rupiah and when i sell it in 28rupiah. Its the biggest achievement since i dive i stock market. BBCA never fall under 30 rupiah.
Stock, under economic expert recommended to take out after 3 years saving. I guess it is true. The example is, my mom in law buy BBRI in 2thousand rupiah. And she never sell it until now. how lucky. another reason, stock market have an administration to sell or buy stock. If you just playing in little bit money, it never be profitable.
In my opinion, the first thing you should realize is the mindset. Because if it about trend to make you jump to stock market it will be unprofitable.
Life becomes insane. Everybody just realized climate change. Not too long for our democratic party. We faced a dearth of rice. Something w...
