This Is My Mantra

For those who have ever felt let down by the one you've trusted for years

For those who have been lied for such a very long time (even since you were still innocent toddlers)

or

For those who find that so many scrubby people around try to criticize you without stopping only to make you lose your positive energy

I convince that you've ever wished for somebody else's life, because you thought yours was the most lousy one. I know. It's natural for every single person. But on second thought, your life is not that bad. How can I be so sure? Yes people. I've also been in those shoes. You wanna know my mantra? Here's my mantra.

If you want and need to cry, cry. Don't hold it. If you need someone to lean on, just go do it. A person was created to be able to heal another person. Do anything that makes you feel better. When you think you're done, now, get over it. Don't make any excuse. Just get over it. Try to forgive the one who has destructed your should-have-been-awesome days. Forgive him/her no matter how severe you've been hurt. Forgive him/her because of you. Because you love yourself. You won't live your whole life with the feelings of sadness, disappointment, anger, and hatred, will you? So, get over it.

You've got to try anything new, anything different. Get yourself always busy. Find some activities. Be a part of committees, join a nonprofit board, make some new friends. Try to exercise two or three times per week. Show your own pet to the children in your housing and play with them. You've got to put your earphones on while in the train or bus, turn the music on shuffle and hope it's goin' play Have You Ever Seen The Rain by Rod Stewart. You've got to read Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, The Catcher In The Rye by J.D. Salinger, or any other classic books at night until you fall asleep. You've got to wake up on Sunday morning to clean and tidy your bedroom including rearranging your bookshelves. You've got to get curious about everything. Get to know what caused the sinkholes in Mississippi. Get to know what's behind the drop of oil prices today. Keep your mind having something to think about.

You've got to give yourself time to look at the world out there. Try not to ever pass a day without reading news. Either you read on newspapers or you just install some news applications on your smartphone, it's up to you. Reading news makes you see how the world is so very messed up. You have no idea how it actually feels in Syria, Africa, France, Arab, and so on. Thousands of people die everyday in inappropriate circumstances while you are here, safe enough, with no hunger or threats. You won't want to claim your life as the most lousy one by now.

You've got to try to change your hairstyle and ask your close friends for their opinions. Will you look good with bangs? You've got to go to a cafe in a cold evening and order a cup of hot mint tea. Always be there on your best friend's birthday and other important events. You've got to feel other people's happiness by congratulating your senior for her graduation, your friend's sister's marriage or your friend's newborn baby.

You've always got to do something that makes you forget the bad things ever happened to you. You've only got to love yourself.

T'was A Wrap for Nirwana!

Bagi anak-anak muda Bandung mungkin kemarin sering dengar Nirwana #JelajahSurgaIndonesia di social media. Ini merupakan acara mengenai traveling talk show & exhibiton yang diadakan oleh kelas Humas D Fikom Unpad 2012 sebagai tugas akhir mata kuliah PR Event. Seneng banget! Acaranya akhirnya selesai dengan lancar. Pengunjungnya ternyata melebihi batas ekspektasi. Semuanya on time. Goalsnya juga dapet. Alhamduuuu.

Talkshow
Inilah acara utama dari Nirwana. Tema acara talkshow ini sengaja dibuat nggak cuma ngomongin seputar traveling di Indonesia atau sekadar jalan-jalan aja, tetapi traveling yang memberikan moral & value ketika kita pulang lagi ke rumah. Maka disini gue terpikirkan akan permasalahan-permasalahan di daerah-daerah terpencil di Indonesia yang mungkin nggak terjamah oleh kita yang ada di kota. Karena permasalahan di pelosok-pelosok Indonesia nggak jauh-jauh dari pendidikan dan ekonomi yang nggak merata, atau permasalahan lingkungan yang nggak abis-abis, kebetulan banget (dan alhamdulillah) gue punya link dari kakak gue sendiri ke Komunitas 1000 Guru dan Gerakan Seasoldier. Sampelah Nirwana mengundang kakak gue sendiri sebagai perwakilan 1000 Guru dan Seasoldier, Medina Kamil (terkenal sebagai host Jejak Petualang), Kabid Kepariwisataan Disparbud, dan ketua ASITA sebagai keynote speakers.
...
Selain talk show & exhibition, juga ada open casting dari Inspira TV untuk acara traveling program sebagai host di venue langsung, Loops Station Bandung. Semua peserta bisa dapat kesempatan untuk ikutan casting sebelum acara talkshow dimulai.

Alhamdulillah banyak yang dipelajarin, dari mulai bikin ide untuk konsep talk show, topik, materi, Term of Reference (TOR) yang selalu berubah-ubah sehubungan dengan konsep keseluruhan acara yang sering ganti dikarenakan banyak hal, bahkan banyak disuruh revisi sama mentor PR Event, nyari moderator, nyari pembicara sana sini, banyak ngerasain yang namanya "nggak enak hati", belajar sportif sama teman sendiri, dan yang lebih pentingnya lagi adalah.. DANUS! Danus yang gue dan teman-teman lakukan kemarin adalah jualan kue, yoghurt, minuman, sampe buka jasa cuci mobil/motor dengan ngedatengin kosan orang yang mau dicuci mobil/motornya! Haha! Apapun danusnya, yang penting halal! (Maklumin aja. Demi nilai A, anak Humas D mah bakal bela-belain ngapain apa).

Ya lumayan lah. Yang penting nilainya A. :P

Facts About Me

Remembering back when people played writing 20 facts about themselves on Instagram, I also got tagged by Nataya, Mauddy, and Rachel, but I didn't make it. I am thinking of writing the 20 facts about me too on Instagram right now but I think it's too late haha. So I'm just gonna write them down here.

 So here we go!

1. As a newborn baby, I was named Yunita Widianingrum. But when my mom found another person whose last name was the same with mine, she immediately changed my last name into Werdiningrum. (She told me, "Mama gak mau yang pasaran").
2. I do love animals! Particularly furry animals. In my family, we barely ever live a moment without having a pet. Mulai dari ikan, kura-kura, kucing (Ini yang paling banyak dan selalu ada sih. Sampe dibagi-bagi ke tetangga), burung beo, burung merpati, hamster, kelinci, kuskus pernah hidup di rumah gw yang nyaris berubah jadi kebun binatang.
3. I read a lot. I read anything and I almost never leave a bookstore without buying at least one book.
4. Unlike my sister and brother, I'm the only child who never went to a private school. Well, I went to SDN Cipinang Melayu 03 Jakarta, SMPN 199 Jakarta, SMAN 48 Jakarta, and now I'm studying at Universitas Padjadjaran majoring in Public Relations (FYI, I'm graduating very soon).
5. Funny that I know old songs way better than today's hits songs.
6. I hate pessimistic people. I can't understand their lives.
7. My hair straightener or also known as "catokan" has been my savior.
8. Durian is the worst fruit ever it tastes like a spoiled mango.
9. I secretly listen to and memorize every single word people are saying carefully.
10. If I were given a chance to pick one language I can be fluent in by now, that would be Spanish.
11. I always wake up very early in the morning on my own so that I barely ever set up an alarm to wake me up.
12. The last time I wore contact lens was in May 2012, at my high school graduation and I'm pretty proud of it. Lol!
13. I'm obsessed with lipsticks. My first attraction everytime I get into a makeup store is to try on lipsticks :P
14. I love and believe that each person I meet is unique. That could be the reason why I love meeting new people, making new friends.
15. Spending time with my closest people always makes me feel good, or even better.
16. I have always been interested in the history of anything.
17. "A dreamer" describes me best.
18. When I like a song, I can play that song a hundred times in a row till I get bored with it XD
19. I've ALWAYS wished that Indomie were healthy 'cause I'd like to eat it everyday!
20. I'm quite over-thinking. I can't stop thinking of something that haunts me all day long or I can't even fall asleep at night because of thinking of it too much.

Yeeeee cheers!

It Is Never Too Late To Begin Something New

Time passes by real fast
We never even realized that

Thinking of everything we have done
Whether it was right or wrong
Whether it was good or bad
Whether it was according to what we had expected
It has already become "a past"

To regret is about to waste the remaining time
There is nothing to be worried about
We are human beings therefore it's possible that we ever did some mistakenness
All we have to do now is to revive
Don't hesitate to take your step

It is never too late to begin something new
