What is the color of the last towel you used? It’s a very pale shade of blue.
Are you listening to music right now? If so, whatcha listening to? Nah I just have a vlog on in the background.
Would you rather have a hippo or rhino dropped on you? Damn. I’d be offed either way so what’s the point? Hahaha.
Do you walk a lot? Not at all. My workplace is permanently on a WFH set-up so it keeps me from being able to walk a lot most days; I will say, though, that I get to catch up on my steps every time we have an event. I can get anywhere from 7,000 to 10,000 steps when we have to manage one.
If you’re still in school, what number is your locker? What color is it? We never did have numbers on our lockers; you just had to memorize your spot and that was it. As for the colors, I remember having gray and blue ones at different points.
Do you have any super silly nicknames? Not really, but I’ve observed that a number of people have taken it up on their own to nickname me Rob. I’ve never introduced myself as that, never acknowledged that as a nickname, but I’m always some way somehow stuck with it. I hate it but I also can’t be assed to tell them not to call me that.
Have you ever heard of the Japanese snack Yan Yan? Yeah my sister had that as her recess for many years hahahaha. I like the chocolate one but I wouldn’t have it everyday like she did.
Do you watch sports? Which ones, if any? Just wrestling. I’m watching more of it these days as I want to get back in the groove, but then again I think I’m just doing so because it’s Mania season and I always subconsciously go back for Mania season every year anyway lol. Literally this afternoon I watched Mania 36 and kicked myself hard for only doing so today – that Firefly Fun House is my new favorite thing in the world.
Do you enjoy the great outdoors? I can for the most part, but living in the Philippines there’s always gonna be an inherent fear for my safety lol.
Do you like cream soda? I don’t think I’ve tried that kind.
Is there anyone who hates you? Probably not but if there is someone then I’m completely unaware of it.
What color is your cell phone? It’s blue. Wouldn’t be my first option for a phone ever, but it was the only one available at all the stores I stopped by + I didn’t exactly have the luxury to pick a color since my old phone had died on me that same day and needed a new one immediately. How does your hair look right now? It’s wavy in a pretty way since I had just removed my bun, but considering how Satan-like the weather is being it will most likely get frizzy within 30 minutes unless I turn on the aircon soon lol.
Are you on any medications? I just finished my prescription meds for my dog bite. I had to take them for a one-week period.
What is the last piece of mail you received? How about e-mail? Not counting my work email, the last email I got on my personal account isssss just a promotional email from one of my e-wallets.
Who is your 15th contact in your phone? I’ve got my phone turned off this whole day and I don’t feel like turning it back on.
Name something you like about school. I got to learn about history.
Do you eat meat, or are you a vegetarian? I eat meat.
Have you ever cried in front of a teacher? Yeah. Back in my old school if you get a grade of 77 and below on an exam, you automatically get issued a letter addressed to your parents informing them of your performance - we called it a ‘difficulty letter’ and pretty much subjects you to a walk of shame among the class when you receive one, lmao. Anyway, I got one for a geometry class that I failed and I happened to cry in front of my Actual geometry teacher, who could only look at me guiltily and uneasily at the time hahaha.
Have you ever cried BECAUSE of a teacher? ^ Yeah, I guess that was also technically the case.
Do you do a :) or a (:? :). I haven’t done the opposite version since...like...Grade 7?
Do you have a facebook? Do you go on it often, if you do? Yep and yep.
What is the closest gas station to you? The one I go to is a good 10-minute drive away.
Who did you last see in concert? Does a fanmeet count? I went to Seonho’s show in January; but my last musical concert was Paramore in 2018.
What grade are you in? It’s been three years since I graduated college and I haven’t gone back to school since.
Granny smith or delicious red apples? Pass.
If you could meet one famous person, who would it be? How come? Shotzi Blackheart is the newest person I want to hang out with. I just found out she’s part Filipino which is SO! COOL! TO ME!!! and she doesn’t even come across as a Fil-Am who uses her Filipino blood as a personality trait, like what many of them do. She knows how to eat her fucking balut as she should, she’s actually been to the country, and overall she just seems like such a cool chick I can shoot the shit with.
Are paper clips fun to play with? Well, not really for me...
Can you speak any other language? Filipino.
Do you prefer mechanical pencils or regular pencils? Regular. I always fuck up the mechanical ones.
Do you have a job? What’s your job? I’m a manager at a PR agency, so I’m my clients’ main girl when they need to execute a consumer campaign and everything that comes with it – from media placements/advertorials, to interviews, to events, to PR kits, to press releases, to YouTube brand deals, to photo and video shoots, to product launches.
Do you take advil, tylenol, or ibuprofen? I take paracetamol, if that counts as any of these?
Why is the sky blue? No clue.
Do you enjoy classic rock? Eh, not really.
Have you ever heard of the band Citizen Cope? If not, look them up, they’re really good. I haven’t. The only thing this reminded me of is the movie Citizen Kane lol.
Is your alarm clock set right now? Nope.
What kind of music do you listen to the most? K-pop.
Are you itchy right now? Yeah my right knee and foot are actually kind of asking to get scratched now.
Do you like pine trees, or do think the sap is too annoying? I...dk? I’m never around pine trees.
Mountains or beach? The beach.
What is the closest purple object to you? My wallet.
Are your walls blank or covered with pictures/posters? They’re blank.
Have you ever tried veggie burgers? I don’t think I have.
Do you have anything on your wrists? No.
Where do you see yourself in 10 years? I’ll be 35, which is around the time I should have long been making preps for my trip to Wrestlemania 50, which is something I’ve vowed to achieve since I was 9. Certainly hope I’ll be more than ready to fly out by then.
Do you have a mirror in the room you are in? No.
Have you ever had corn nuts? I’ve never heard of that.
Do you smoke? I don’t.

On A Thread
Seventeen CEO!Joshua Hong (Hong Jisoo) x Nurse!Reader Summary: If our love was a piece of string, it was like he took my hand, handed me the scissors, and told me, "cut it." So I did. Word Count: 3k Warnings: Break ups, fluff (if you squint real hard), angst, classism, elitism, exhaustion, toxic relationship i guess, tyPoS bye, etc.
A/N: i really wanted to write angst and it was supposed to be short but 3k is short i guess WTF>SHHFO WFH. Anyway, parts of the premise and a lot of their dialogue towards the end was prompted by some prompts i reblogged before posting this, so you can check it out if you like <:
It was never supposed to be this way. He and I were never supposed to even meet. But we did. And I opened my heart to him.
That may have been the worst thing I've done thus far.
He was like a rose. His fragrance was all consuming. And he grew around me, choking me with his thorns.
The worse thing was, | could not escape him.
Because he wasn't just an ex, he was the food I ate, the clothes I wore, and the serum on my skin; he was the head of the corporation that practically owned all the eye can see.
He was Hong Jisoo of SVT Group, Joshua to his friends, Josh to his closest friends, and... a burning memory now to me. He was the CEO that was second to none that he practically had the nation in his chokehold.
He was a lingering presence that made me shudder, especially on this gruesome night after hours. He was in everyday brands that always had a buy-one-take-one promo, as well as designer brands whose prices seemed to only grow higher.
And I'm honestly thoroughly offended that he ripped the sacred place I had into his iron fists. How dare he shop in the low-lit supermart by my apartment this late at night, knowing what he did, when he could well afford all the exclusive supermarkets near his private village.
Was he that spiteful, when he seemed so relieved to have gotten me out of his life?
What could he possibly need here that was so unavailable to him in his luxury shops?
And how he dare wear the suit ensemble I praised him too many times in when he wore it?
I stood there across the isle, gripping the handle of my shopping cart, looking at him like I was back in school, trying to understand what in the world my teacher just wrote on the board.
I watched as he reached towards the shelf, looking at macaroni, cocking his head, probably wondering to himself if he owned that brand or not. He's done it once before, asses the products while shopping, then put down notes of it on his phone.
It never bothered me, but then again, I suppose maybe it should have, since it was like every waking hour was lived only for his job.
Still, Jisoo had his hair combed and gelled back to a precision I used to love watching unfold. His suit had not a single wrinkle, even after the entire day. His tie was pinned down by something more expensive than my laptop and his collar was cuffed by something more expensive than my entire wardrobe of clothes.
That was who he was. Immaculate and poised. Perfectly polished to a T... and I, I turn to my imitation crocks and fuzzy socks, was this.
I was scrubs and late night shifts and messy hiar buns and convenient store coffee and sweat and tears. We were worlds apart.
Worlds apart.
I did myself a favor and pulled my cart back, moving the opposite direction of him, although I had nothing to so in the laundry soap isle.
This all happened because I was doing my cousin a favor. She was an event planner and currently looking for an new assistant. I used to work with her part-time before becoming a registered nurse, which was why she was quite adamant on getting my help.
She promised a day's pay and Michelin star food from the event itself if I helped her in exchange for me sacrificing my rare day off. After a couple days of persuading, I told Taeyeon I was in, although my heart and body longed for an entire day of sleep.
At the time, I was glad I went to the party, because there had been a choking accident that I was able to remedy. It was of a man who I would call my friend, Yoon Jeonghan, that nearly suffocated on live squid.
And of course, at the time, I was also glad I came because I met the him.
But there have been so many times after our brutal break up were I wondered what would have happened if I turned Taeyeon down and slept in that day. But then I worry that Jeonghan might have not have someone to help him fast enough. So then I wonder what it would be like if Joshua had a call that hindered him from thanking me personally for saving his friend. Maybe then we wouldn't have fallen into small talk, and I wouldn't have told him about this milk tea shop that I loved so much, and he wouldn't have gone there persistently just to have a 'chance' encounter with me.
I couldn't turn my thoughts of him off, even as I ticked my list into completion.
I was on autopilot when I walked towards the register, but then my heart dropped when I saw Joshua standing there in front of the cashier, fishing for his thin wallet in his suit's breast pocket.
My entire body was suddenly pulsing with adrenaline.
I cleared my throat and headed for another lane, although the customer there only begun checking out her items.
It was dreadful when I saw in my peripherals the cashier turn to me, wave, and call out for me to move to her lane, since she was done checking Joshua out.
Fuck, shit, bitch, fucker, fucking shit, what the fuck-
I sucked in a breath and turned to the middle aged lady, beckoning me over to her. I sighed and moved my cart with disdain. I kept my eyes on a bag of chips I got as I made my way.
I avoided all eye contact and started unloading my items for the cashier that I gave but a quick glance and smile to while handing her my reusable bags.
I robotically brought my stuff out.
Dear goodness, maybe I was being too obvious about this.
I sighed as I brushed off the feeling of eyes burning into my skull.
Please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me, please don't-
By the time I'm halfway through my task, I bravely glace forward, praying he wasn't just stood there watching me.
But I was faced with no one but the woman punching my items and and a man bagging them.
I began to feel heat trickle up my neck and cheeks.
Did he not see me?
Suddenly, I felt so conflicted, hurt, angry by the idea that my presence wasn't even acknowledged.
I scoff lowly at myself and felt my shoulders deflate. The tension in my muscles relaxed, but not in a relieving manner. I suddenly, so stupidly, felt my eyes begin to glass as well. I rub my them, thinking about how horrible and exhausted I felt.
I thought about how much I wanted to go to sleep, and how much I wanted to get a hug, and how I had no one to give me one.
I sniffle and release a breath, smiling at the cashier when she tells me my total. I pay her, then get my things, automatically telling her to have a good day as well, though I clearly meant none of it.
With my two bags in hand, I step out of the supermart and look up to the sky, out of habit. It was a bare night sky, with no stars nor clouds. Boy, was I glad I didn't have work tomorrow.
It was instantaneous when brought my sights back eye level. There I saw, across the street, the dark grey car with tinted windows and shiny silver wheels that seemed cleaner than my apartment as it reflected the street light.
He was there, hands in his pockets, leaned back on the side of his million dollar car.
We made eye contact and he raised a hand at me.
A hand? What was I supposed to do with that?
My brows furrow involuntarily.
I nearly choke when he straightens his stance and asks, "do you need a ride?"
Do I need a ride?
Wow.
Do. I. Need. A. Ride?
From. Him?
How could he ask me that?
I grip my things and ready to leave, but-
Oh crap, he was walking towards me.
My entire body was burning to run, damn, my brain was yelling furiously to run. But it was like I was stuck in a conundrum of unfathomable cause and I was frozen in place, unwitting, completely helpless.
Suddenly, he was in front of me, looking down at my form as if I was a pathetic juvenile incapable of doing something so simple.
His smooth skin was offensive to me, and so was his too familiar cologne that made my stomach drop for far too many different reasons that I should work on nullifying.
Jisoo corrects himself, "let me give you a ride."
I look at him. He watches me. He then moves even closer, to get the bags in my hand. That seemed to be the only point I had the will to move. It was the tipping point for my reason to return.
I pull back and quickly retort, "no."
Jisoo halts as I recoil from him and give him a look.
It was then I have the spine to gather myself and walk past him.
I am foolishly held back by his question, "why not?"
I clench my jaw and turn to him, blinking far too much, "I feel like I can't breath when I'm around you."
For the second time, Jisoo corrects himself, "please, let me drive you home."
I turn away from him, shaking my head, "what are you even doing here?"
He moves back in front of me, digging his hands back into his pocket, "they have a chip here that isn't available anywhere else."
I snort. I don't believe him.
"Believe me, I've looked."
His sentiment makes me realize that I've been awake for 20 hours and my head feels like it was about to fall off. It made me recall how obsessive he could get about his ideas or when he liked something, how he literally bought two industrial boxes of candy that I introduced him to because he enjoyed it so much.
I involuntarily yawned, eyes misting. I felt like dropping down and crying and sleeping right this moment. Now that I was faced with the option of not walking, I didn't want to walk at all.
But then my misty eyes were cleared by the image of his face, with the very soft features that tore me to pieces.
"I'll let you drive me if you promise not to come back here."
He was surprised by this. I was too tired to care or explain.
We both new he had absolutely no reason to even go do something as trivial as shopping for groceries since his literal assistants had assistants.
And yet here he was, shocked by my softly spoken demand.
"Okay."
I blink at him with tired eyes and make my way to his car.
In no time at all, Jisoo was driving me back home. I really didn't want to, but I easily fell asleep on the passenger side since the smell and feel as so familiar, and again, I was about to pass out. It helped that I felt kind of warm as I hugged my bags in my arms.
Josh had always been a good driver. There were times were I would doze of and kind of surprise myself when I woke, that I was actually in a car and not on in a chair at home.
But then I shot awake and yelped when the car suddenly halted and Jisoo barked profanities as he honked at someone caught in his headlights.
He quickly brings the window down and screams, "HEY, GET OUT OF THE ROAD!"
The evidently drunk dude raises the can in his hand and nods, scurrying off the road.
Jisoo sighs and closes the window, continuing his route. He turns to me with a pinched expression, "sorry about that. Go back to sleep."
I shake my head, "it's okay. I'm glad you didn't give him a ticket to the ER."
"The bastard might give himself one though," he clicks his tongue.
For a while, there was only the sound of the car in the atmosphere. I appreciated it, though there was tension.
When we reach a red light, Joshua pulls up the break and leans back. I look to to the window to my right.
"Do you still work the same times?"
I freeze.
"You don't have a shift tomorrow, right?"
Why is he talking to me?
"They replaced that microwave in the pantry, I would assume."
I turn to him and nod.
He turns to me just then, nodding back, "Dr. Lee would appreciate it-- or, maybe she hasn't seen it yet, since she might have already given birth."
What are you doing, Jisoo?
Stop it.
He sighs, placing his hands on his steering wheel, "you didn't answer my previous question."
I knit my brows and shake my head, "I don't have work."
"Good. You look exhausted."
"Thanks."
He doesn't respond.
I turn back to my right, letting a moment pass. I continue, "for the ride. Thanks. For driving me home."
He turns to me and opens his mouth, silent for a second, "I don't know what else I can do."
I knit my brows, holding back a laugh, But I can't help but chuckle in a way that sounds empty and pathetic in my ears.
For some reason, he goes on and says, "I really did want those chips."
I finally turn back to him and see him looking at me. "I didn't say you didn't."
Joshua's face hardens, "well you asked me not to come back there."
I chuckle again, "what else did you expect?"
He doesn't answer, as the red light turns green.
I get it. I really did. As much as I had things on my mind, he had things on his. But it was completely uncalled for and unfair of him to say this in his car as he's driven me home and pulled up in front of my apartment.
In the silence, I decide to just turn for the door and leave.
"Maybe I shouldn't have met you," he muttered, I think to himself as I was about to go, but it wasn't soft enough. I heard him, and it stabbed through my aching heart like a burning dagger.
I turn to him, dumbfounded, even more awake that I was a while ago. My eyes were suddenly brimming with tears that began to fall without my consent.
"What?" I whisper brokenly.
Joshua turns from his lap to me in bewilderment. In this moment he sees me crying, he's realized what he's done. His own eyes begin to water, and yet he persists, "if it were my choice, I never would have approached you."
I scoff, feeling my chest unimaginably tighten, "except it was."
"I talked to you for Jeonghan."
"Yes, and you kept talking to me!" I whine. I sniffled and wiped my hears with my wrist, "you gave me your card, which I never called, and went to my favorite milk tea house."
Jisoo turns away.
I chuckle in disbelief and shake my head, gripping my things and turning to the door, "I'm tired of cleaning up your messes."
"You are so naïve," he mutters lowly.
"How am I naïve huh? You liked me just as much as I liked you!" I snap back. "Don't pretend like this is my fault."
Jisoo turns back, his own tears were streaming down his face, "so it's my fault?"
"No!" I quip, "it's no one's fault!" I groan, "it's everyone's fault! It's," I break into a sob, "it's how it is..."
And how exactly was it?
It was this. How he had a car that could buy me my dream house. How his shoes cost more than my rent. How I refused to buy new shoes though these cheap, fake crocks were about to say goodbye because my mom brought it for me. How his friends became my friends because of how often I meet them, and how lonely I felt after we broke up because I realized I centered my world around him.
How he thought minimum wage and contractualization was fair. How he argued healthcare couldn't possibly be free.
He was kind and caring and romantic, but he was calculating and very clear that I was always going to be second to his career. All the dates for his work events came easy to him. He knew exactly what date it was because of it, and yet he would never seem to find it in him to recall that I asked him to pick up something for me, or that we were supposed to spend the night together.
"My mother was right about you," he said. I nearly vomited at the idea of that wretched woman who hated me for being with his beloved son. I felt betrayed because after all the time I've spent with him, defending him from his own mother that even he could never seem to satisfy, he was taking her side.
He took another jab, right in the jugular, "you really would ruin my life."
I scoff and chuckle dryly, "so far, you have only proven me right." I unbuckle my seatbelt and open the door, "forget it. Just like you forget everything else."
"Wai-"
I step out of the car and give him one last look, "I hope one day you love someone who isn't as worthless as me."
I slam the door and shiver as the cold creeps up my spine.
Joshua watches helplessly as he watches what looked like a lifeless body walking away. He groans in frustration and slams his hands on the steering wheel, accidentally honking the horn, making the walking figure jolt.
He freezes when he realizes his nth mistake of the night.
He breaks into a long string of profanities and shakes his head, nothing but denial leaving his lips, "it was never supposed to be this way."
He wants to jump out of his car and run after what he had been crying about for days, but he let the emotions he bottled up get the best of him tonight, and now he's said everything that's on the tip of his tongue without the proper context.
He is defeated and resentful of no one but himself, "I don't think you're worthless. Why would you tell yourself that?"

Hard to Bid Farewell: til we meet again!
Ah... akhirnya moment ini datang juga. Gak pernah kepikiran kapan aku akan menulis ini, sampai ahirnya setelah segala deadline menanti, aku tulis juga. Halo teman-teman terbaik di Tech in Asia, this writing is for you!
Friday, 27 August 2021 will be my last day at Tech in Asia Indonesia. Seperti percaya nggak percaya, tapi memang nyatanya harus melepas perjalanan yang sudah ditempuh hampir 4 tahun bersama TIA. Sedikit di luar rencana hidup, tapi aku yakin perjalanan selanjutnya akan lebih menyenangkan, doakan ya!
Kayanya baru kemarin aku join TIA, tepat seminggu sebelum ulangtahunku, yaitu 13 November 2017. Dulu, sebelum keterima aku lagi no hope banget sama hidup, sampe yang memotivasi buat dapet kerja secepatnya pun hanya karena ingin dirayakan ulangtaun bersama teman-teman kantor ahaha. Lucunya, ternyata di tanggal 19,20,21 November itu ada 3 orang yang berulang tahun, Mas Dipta (Editor in Chief, alumni juga skrg), Aku, dan Lidya (Head Marketing kita yang cihuy banget). Makasih banget sudah mewujudkan citacita recehku saat itu untuk merayakan ulangtaun di kantor baru, wkwkw.
Long story short di tahun pertama kerja di TIA, punya beberapa teman kerja yang ujung-ujungnya bisa diajak jadi teman curhat hidup, teman sehat olahraga bareng, dan teman karaoke selama lembur. Haha. Halo tim Podcast Pantry Ekky, Mas Vicky, Mas Putra, Mas Adit, Mas Risky, Jesse, Kak Teto, Baba, Mas Cepot dan beberapa alumni Septa, Hadi, Mas Aria, Atha, Alifah, duh banyak! Ga lupa juga squad makan siang di pantry ku, jamaah #makanapaguys ku Mba Dini, Mba Ain, dan Mba Diah my luv <3 yang selalu berdebat di jam jam kritis mau pesen kopi mana lagi hari ini, mau gofood makan siang apalagi, dan tentunya yang paling seru adalah debat pembagian total bayar setelah dipotong diskon promo Grab HAHAHA :)) Kapan-kapan kita order Fried Chicken Master lagi ya!
Oh My God... time flies. Hampir empat tahun, dan aku udah banyak menyaksikan momen-momen people come and go di TIA, yang ahirnya sekarang aku yang harus pergi. Aduh. Sedih.
Untuk Lead terbaikku, Mas Putra, HALO MAAAAS YA ALLAH TERIMAKASIH, makasih banyak Mas Put, gw minta maaf banget banget kalau selama kerja sama Mas Put gw banyak kurangnya, banyak nanya, atau banyak mau. But you are the best! I learned a lot from you, and you always give me new challenge yang di awal gw merasa ga bisa tapi in the end gw bisa karena dorongan lo juga. Makasih banget Mas, semoga kapan-kapan bisa kerja bareng lagi di lain kesempatan. :D Tentunya, terimakasih juga atas saran-saran tentang kehidupannya yang walopun dijawab sambil dengerin Via Vallen, atau sambil kerja, atau sambil haha hihi, tapi means alot! Terimakasih sudah banyak dukung gw juga :) Maaf ya Mas, kalo udah burnout gw suka curhat sampe kelepasan nangis. Huhu.

Curhatan Mbak Mbak Jualan
Tulisan ini adalah curhatan dan aku ga yakin ada pelajaran yang bisa nambah pandangan hehe. Gapapa deh ya. Ceritanya abis lulus sebagai sarjana online di bulan Juli, aku lagi semangat-semangatnya nyari gawean. Ga expect tinggi sih, cuma pengen ngerasain bikin CV trus apply kerja, wawancara, dsb dan yang penting biar ada pemasukan buat kas pribadi hehe. Lagian di kondisi kaya gini aku prefer remote working dan yang kerjanya santuy ga mikirin jenjang karir ke depannya hehe. Akhirnya aku apply ke beberapa kerjaan lewat Glints, banyaknya kaya social media specialist, content writer, dsb.
Long short story, cuma ada dua kerjaan tuh yang nandain CV ku. Iyasih wajar soalnya yang lainnya kerjaan yang butuh portfolio, sedangkan akumah apa portfolionya huhu. Trus aku dihubungin via WA ditanyain buat wawancara posisi Marketing Online Service di sebuah publisher media edukasi anak. Honestly aku lupa pernah apply dan gatau itu kerjaannya ngapain ya, karena sebelumnya banyak applynya bagian sosmed trus ini kok kayanya asing ya. Akhirnya pas wawancara ya biasa aja sih aku mah selow, baru touch up 5 menit sebelum join link gmeet, jawab juga santuy, cuma pas ditanyain “kamu suka jualan ga?” huwaduw ditanya juga apa yang kukira dan sebenarnya kuhindarin. Ya aku jujur aja kalau gabiasa jualan dan kayanya ga jago deh trus aku nanya nanya tentang perusahaannya dan sok ngide pengen jadi penulis buku anak pfft padahal kan gada lowongan buat posisi itu Alyy -_-
Dan sekarang sudah terhitung hampir dua bulan aku wfh jadi mbak mbak jualan di publisher itu. Btw panjang banget ya intronya haha, emang inimah curhatan sih sekalian lemesin biar bisa nulis lagi. Ada beberapa pelajaran yang aku coba simpulkan dari pengalaman jadi orang jualan via online. Gapapa sotoy deh ya.
1. Orang yang baik dan ramah adalah yang selalu berusaha mengakhiri percakapan
Aturan jadi online marketer yang kerjanya ngejapri puluhan orang tiap hari adalah harus selalu jadi yang terakhir ngechat. Pas tau ini aku kaya ngetawain diri sendiri, karena aku orangnya suka males bales chat kalau udah mentok. Ada yang bilang “makasih” aja sering ga kubuka pesannya, bales “sama-sama” itu tergantung mood sih wkwk nah ini harus jadi yang terakhir ngechat, kalau customernya udah bilang “sama-sama” aku harus bales apaa?? akhirnya berujung aku kasih emot senyum manis sama blink blink aja. Okesip kelar.
2. Keep being mindful on online conversation
Biar kerjanya cepet kan aku punya template chat dengan berbagai sapaan sesuai alur presentasinya, ada yang buat bunda/bapak/kakak. Biasanya kalau udah capek tuh yauda copas copas aja ga dicek dulu sebelum ngirim pesan. Alhasil ada pesan yang kaya gini “Selamat pagi Bapak, bagaimana kabar Bapak dan keluarga? Semoga Bunda sekeluarga sehat selalu ya” Duuh tidak konsisten jadinya ngechat ke bapaknya apa bundanya sih --” untungnya gada yang protes pas aku salah mention sapaan. Tiap salah jadi nyadar sih, “Wah aku ga mindful nih” ya tapi gimana dong, bosen banget kaya gini tuh.
3. Ngechat orang tidak seremeh itu, ini kerjaan melelahkan!
Aku selalu nganggep ini kerjaan receh makanya ga terlalu nganggep serius haha karena emang receh banget sih orang tiap hari kerjaannya cuma ngechatin orang, huwaa buat aku ini nyiksa banget, apalagi karena chat kita dimonitor sama leader, jadi kalau slow respon bakal ditelfonin :”) beneran deh introvert ga cocok banget sama kerjaan ini. Rasanya mau meledak BOOM! kerasa banget energy draining dari jam 9-6 WITA mesti online, tangan sampe kram.
Eh kayanya aku banyak ngeluh ga enaknya ya hehe padahal ada sih yang nyenengin. Tiap kali chatnya direspon itu aku seneeng, apalagi kalau dibales ramah, berasa aku lagi komunikasi sama manusianya. Soalnya ya ada aja yang ngeread doang bahkan langsung ngeblok haha pelajarannya aku jadi terbiasa dengan penolakan. Okay kamu harus kuat pfft!
4. Jangan jadi orang yang suka maksa
Salah satu alasan kenapa aku gabiasa jualan adalah karena aku orangnya ga suka maksa. Mungkin kalau persuasif dikit aku masih bisa lah, tapi kalau udah ngerasa ni orang ga nunjukin ketertarikan sama sekali, yauda ga kulanjutin. Cuman pas awal awal chatku dimonitor banget, leaderku suka nyuruh buat tetep ngechat orang dengan tetep nawarin produk pfft trus pernah juga nih ada obrolan kaya gini,
A : Sebelumnya saya izin ya Bun ingin menginfokan produk terbaru dari **
B : Oke silahkan, tapi jangan maksa ya
Haha aku kaget sih awalnya dapat chat kaya gitu, tapi setuju sama ibunya!
5. Networking is definitely a privilege!
Kerjaanku kan tiap hari ngechatin orang tuh, awalnya dikasih kontak dari kantor, tapi menurutku kontaknya ga potensial wkwk gada yang closing. Alhasil aku import kontak dari kontak ibuku, minta rekomendasi temen-temen ibu entah mamah muda atau nenek kaya yang potensial beli produk edukasi anak hehe dan voila~ semua closinganku hampir 98% dari kontak pribadi bukan yang dari kantor pfft. Sampe rekan satu timku yang kayanya udah putus asa buat dapetin closingan nanya ke aku tipsnya gimana hehe ya intinya coba manfaatin kontak yang kita punya sih. Aku aja jadi ngesave-in nomer senior yang punya anak buat kutawarin produk hehe dan itu mayan banget alhamdulillah~
Udah deh itu dulu aja, sebenernya ada lagi sih beberapa simpulan yang bisa ditulisin, tapi aku khawatir kebanyakan cerita trus kalau ketauan sama orang kantor gimana ya hehe walaupun aku ga bakal lama juga sih disitu. Intinya, semoga kita bisa lebih menghargai setiap peran, salah satunya dengan menghargai orang yang jualan. Trus buat yang orangnya kaya aku, jangan asal coba-coba deh kalau ga suka kerjaan yang monoton wkwk. Selamat melanjutkan hidup, jangan lupa tetap waras!

Super thankful for WFH life today. I slept like crap because the teething monster was doing a lot of whining in his sleep (even with Motrin before bed ☹️) and then he was up at 5:30 and needed some snuggles to fall back asleep. My alarm was set for 6 AM because I needed to wash my hair but that was a huge nope so I turned it off and went back to sleep until Knox woke up at 7. 🤷🏻♀️ We have to leave at 7:30 so I just threw my nasty hair in a bun and called it good because no one sees me anyway! I also woke up with a huge cold sore on my face. Love that I get them so often!! Not.
I had two eggs and an apple for breakfast. I want coffee so bad but I gotta show myself some will power after the weekend lol.
Alright, time to be productive. Happy Tuesday, friends!

Kehamilan Kedua
Semakin ke sini (alias semakin tua), ku semakin percaya bahwa hidup masing-masing orang udah ada jalannya sendiri-sendiri dan semakin pula kusadari bahwa sebenarnya ada lebih banyak hal yang ada di luar kuasa kita. Jodoh, sikap orang lain, keputusan punya anak, pekerjaan, dan banyak lagi, kuasa manusia teramat sedikit untuk mempengaruhinya. Termasuk di kehamilan keduaku.
Meski banyak yang dari dulu ribet nanya-nanya kapan Fahima punya adik, aku dan Luthfi nggak ambil pusing. Baru ketika (banyak) prasyarat dalam perencanaan kami sudah terpenuhi, kami memantapkan hati untuk kasih dia adik. Terbiasa berdua dalam segala-gala hal membuat kami sadar bahwa punya anak tu nggak sebecanda itu. Luthfi selalu mengingatkan kalau punya anak, kita harus siap bahwa suatu saat nanti akan ada keluarga baru yang gabung, peran-peran kita akan makin bertambah apalagi tanggung jawab kita, ya pendidikan, kesehatan jiwa raga, bahkan sampai pernikahan.
Alhamdulillah rencana kami bersesuaian dengan kehendak Allah. Jadi ketika kami berencana mau punya anak lagi, saat itu juga Allah kabulkan dan beri banyak kemudahan.
Berbagai Tantangan
Kehamilan kedua ini terasa lebih menantang. Aku sempat pendarahan cukup banyak di bulan kedua, yang membuatku nangis bombay, Luthfi panik, dan kondisi kami bertiga saat itu sedang sama-sama sakit. Bertiga kesana kemari periksa kondisi janin sambil ku tak berhenti menyebut Yaa Hafidz. Mual muntah parah terjadi sepanjang trimester pertama, membuat Luthfi harus in-charge di hampir semua pekerjaan rumah tangga, ya ngepel, belanja, nyapu, nyuci ini itu dan masak. Sementara, ku hanya bisa lemes di kasur karena tekanan darah sempat drop ke 87/56. Memang begitulah aku di setiap kehamilan: selalu drop tekanan darah di trimester pertama.
Tantangan berikutnya adalah SPD atau Symphisis Pubic Disfunction. Panggulku masya Allah rasanya, untuk jalan, berguling di kasur, atau bangun dari duduk ke berdiri, nyerinya dahsyat bahkan sejak trimester awal. Sempat ku berharap jalan pakai kruk saking nggak bisa angkat kaki.
Kehamilan kedua ini juga berbarengan dengan adanya pandemi. Yaa blessing in disguise sih karena saat hamil, aku (mostly) bisa WFH meski kadang tak terelakkan harus WFO dimana naik motor dan naik tangga bikin SPD makin parah.
Mencari nakes juga jadi tantangan tersendiri. Saat hamil Fahima dulu, ku bener-bener tau beres. Tau-tau aja ada surat yang ngasih tau bahwa di bulan ini aku harus ngapain dimana, misalnya harus cek darah di klinik ini atau harus USG di klinik itu, vaksin ini di sini, cek rutin di situ, dst. Sekarang ku bener-bener nyari sendiri harus periksa kemana dan nggak dikasih tau juga harus ngapa-ngapainnya. Dari bidan, dokter, puskesmas, rumah sakit, semua kucoba wkwk. Tapi sejauh ini ku puas saat periksa ke Dr. Doni Apriyaldi di RSKIA Kota Bandung. Alhamdulillah rumah kami dekat dengan RSKIA. Iya dokternya cowok soalnya pengalamanku ke 4 bidan perempuan dan 1 dokter perempuan, semua berakhir tidak menyenangkan.
Berasa Kehamilan Bersama
Jelang sebulan lagi, aku sungguh bersyukur, karena seperti yang sudah-sudah, Luthfi selalu mendampingi. Dari nyariin vitamin dimana dia ngotot harus vitamin kayak Fahima dulu, yang artinya harus ngimpor dari UK sehingga jadi mahal banget, sampai teliti membaca setiap perkembangan bayi dari week ke week, juga yang bersemangat beli berbagai kebutuhan bayi, dan tentu saja in-charge dengan segala pekerjaan rumah yang seabrek, Luthfi selalu ada. Makasih ya Yah.
Fahima juga nggak kalah so-sweet. Dia selalu inisiatif ngambilin aku bantal untuk sandaran punggung tiap kali aku duduk. Mukanya selalu excited tiap kali dia nyanyi dan adeknya merespon dengan berbagai gerakan. “Bun, nanti kalau Bunda lagi mandi, ayah lagi ngetik, Fahima yang jagain adek ya.” Wkwkwk, iyaa nak iyaa... Kami bongkar segala peralatan bayi dulu mulai dari stroller, tempat tidur hingga printilan-printilan lainnya dan Fahima berkomentar, “Dulu Fahima pakai ini ya bun? Besok dipakai adik.” Alhamdulillah sungguh dia udah makin mandiri di usianya yang ke-lima. Bangun tidur, udah bisa urus diri sendiri, sikat gigi, pee, cuci muka, nyari baju, kalau mau sekolah ya nyiapin barang sendiri, dst.
Alhamdulillah, semoga Allah beri banyak kelancaran dalam kelahiran besok juga memberi petunjuk dalam mendidik anak-anak.
