Fun Wednesday on a Friday

Hi, guys! How yall doin?

It’s funny betapa roda berputar begitu cepat. Dua minggu lalu gw bikin postingan yang isinya depressing. Ketika gw lagi sedih, marah, bingung, dan frustasi.

Tapi sekarang gw ada di mental state yang lebih stabil, lebih tenang. It’s one of those days I feel really grateful about my life.

I hope this kind of day happens more often, but that’s not how life works.

Anyway, postingan kali ini akan menceritakan my day yesterday. How my Friday, August 1st went down. 

Wednesday adalah salah satu serial di Netflix yang gw suka. Gw agak telat jumping into Wednesday bandwagon. Padahal dulu suka banget anything Tim Burton. 

Wednesday, kekuatan utamanya di karakter. Wednesday is GREAT. The writing for this character is really clever. And Jenna Ortega portrayal is FLAWLESS. 

I especially love Wednesday and Enid’s friendship. It's beautiful. They kept me going, you know, finishing the series until the end. Bcoz let’s be honest, mystery element-nya kan b aja, cenderung cetek. Hehe~

Aren’t they so cute together? :3

Anyway, felt so honored and humbled to be part of Awe’s Wednesday campaign. <3

Yha walaupun peran gw di situ cuma sedikit… hahaha~

Activation-nya ada di The Space Senayan City mulai hari ini sampai tanggal 7 Agustus. Be sure to catch it! It’s so damn cool!!! *honest review ya, bukan karena gw kerja di sana. Hahaha~~

Oh I love Awe. The people, the culture, the spirit, the passion.

Belakangan ini gw overthinking kebersamaan ini akan segera berlalu. Every second I spend with them is like a ticking clock. Lalu sedih lagi. Aaaaahhh~~

Anyway, mau cerita dikit tentang kemarin. Seperti biasa Awe kalo bikin activation ga nanggung-nanggung. Big budget. Yang diundang pun KOL-nya ga kaleng-kaleng. Salah satu yang diundang, Naura Ayu. 

Gw pernah kerjasama dengan Naura di beberapa occasion sewaktu masih di Errthing. Gw meng-handle promo series yang dibintangi Naura. Tapi udah lumayan lama, terakhir itu pertengahan 2024. 

Waktu melihat Naura dateng kemarin, gw berniat menyapa, tapi gw urungkan karena gw pikir dia ga akan inget gw. 

But guess what, she remembered me!!! She called me out of the blue di tengah puluhan orang-orang yang berkumpul di situ. 

OMG Nau, you are the sweetest! 

We didn’t talk much karena dia harus kerja (well, we both harus kerja. wkwk). Gw cuma nanyain kabar dia + keluarganya. We spoke a little bit about our mutual friends. Then I told her that I’m now with Awe, and she congratulated me. 

“Ciyeee.. Lanyard-nya udah baruuu..” katanya. xD

Regardless of our super limited interaction, she managed to give me so much contentment. It just feels so good to be remembered, and it just makes me so happy that someone out there is actually happy for me for who I am today. :)

Makasih ya Nau. You’ve made my day. Sukses selalu buat kamu. <3

Oiya, kemarin ketemu juga sama anak-anak COC (Clash of Champions). Meng-kaget! Yang tiap weekend cuma liat di YouTube, tiba-tiba depan mata. I thought they keep the kids until the finale, tapi kemarin dilepas-lepas aja tuh. 

Lalu berkenalan dengan CEO-nya. *insert glacing slightly eye emoji*

Katanya sih… Mau di-invite finalnya di Balai Sarbini tanggal 23 Agustus… Kita liat ya beneran atau bluffing doang. Wkwk~

Selesai bertugas di Wednesday, gw bertolak ke CGV GI karena menang tiket nonton premiere Freakier Friday. Film yang paling gw tunggu di 2025… verdict-nya??? Kureng gaes. Wkwk~

Ibarat masakan, kayak ada bumbu yang lupa dimasukin. Kurang micin.

Characterization juga, writing-nya agak berantakan. Not enough context/background for everyone (eps. the 4 main leads) to proceed into conflict that leads to the body swaps.

But I wasn’t 100% unhappy sih. The nostalgia element is solid. Most of the jokes are on point too. 

Masih bisalah gw kasih [7/10]. Tbh udah cukup senang melihat Lindsay Lohan being pretty and healthy. Juga sebuah kehormatan melihat Jamie Lee Curtis—still getting it!

Minggu ini seru dan belum berakhir! Who knows ada kejutan yang menanti gw besok di hari Minggu!

Tapi kayaknya sih… Minggu depan bakal lebih seru lagi. We’ll see!

Laters! 

Tough Week

This week is really tough.

Setelah April, Mei, dan Juni yang penuh rainbows and unicorns, roda kehidupan gw berada di bawah bulan Juli ini. I am reaching rock bottom and that ain’t feel good. 

After 3 months, I finally met my first obstacle at work, and that is… communication~

Sounds petty, huh? Indeed.

I’ve been overthinking it for a week. It really affects my mood and productivity.

But I don’t wanna talk about it now, sorry. It’s bad if I don’t channel the emotion right away, I know. Malah jadinya kependem dan numpuk, kayak numpuk virus di badan~

But I just want to make peace with myself first before telling you guys. Hope you understand.

Hari Rabu kemarin, ibunda sahabat gw dari SD, Grace, meninggal dunia setelah koma hampir 2 minggu. RIP Tante Ellen. 

Ini juga bikin gw sedih karena gw deket banget sama Grace. I can feel her loss, her pain, her exhaustion. Stay strong, my Gracie. I will always be beside you. 

Nyokap gw nemenin ke rumah duka untuk ngelayat juga. The whole time she was sitting beside me, I couldn’t help but think that someday this would happen to me too. I will lose her too. I cried myself to sleep that night. 

Pokoknya tujuan hidup gw adalah membahagiakan nyokap selagi masih bisa. Mengabulkan semua permintaannya, berada di sampingnya, memastikan kesehatannya. I am all for you, mom. 

As if things can’t get any worse, I got my period yesterday and I’m in so much pain today~ 

My room is a huge mess. Got clothes on the floor, leftover food, gadgets and tangled cables, jewelry everywhere…

I tried to distract myself from these harsh realities. I watched so many movies this weekend. Didn’t work~

I think I need a Pensieve since there are recollections of things I would wish to hide or forget. Tapi bukan itu fungsi Pensieve sebenarnya ya?

*sigh*

I think imma just go see some therapist~

Ada rekomendasi?
