Unexpected 2023 :(

Well, hello everyone, I was planning to start my blog happily because there are many things I want to share here related to my career and work after the pandemic I was finally able to return to Jakarta, meet my friends again, and return to work again. But here unfortunately before I had time to post it, in 2023 in October I had to accept a destiny that required me to be strong. It still feels like a dream. I still didn't expect this year to be a sad year for me and my family. my third brother passed away on October 27th. I also don't know what to say, guys. my heart is broken, I don't know how to be able to accept and strengthen myself, my family, especially my mother. my brother was diagnosed with a brain tumor.  

In July he was hospitalized following a series of hospital recommendations, from running the operation. I had time to take care of him too while in the hospital. In August after VP Shunt surgery (surgery performed to drain the fluid in the head to the stomach) my brother's condition improved, and could be treated at home. Almost every weekend I returned to Jogja from Jakarta to take care of him. I tried to be steadfast, we were looking for information for my brother's recovery. 

Long story short, my family and I tried and were optimistic about my brother's recovery. we still had hope that he would recover and be able to gather with us again. until in October he suddenly entered the hospital again and finally died on Friday, October 27, 2023. 

All of this is still like a dream to me, everything happened so fast. I didn't expect my brother to leave so soon. just in 2019, I lost my father, and now this year I lost my beloved brother. I believe all of this is God's plan. and I must try to be sincere and strong in everything that has happened in my life. 

all of this feels heavy and unpredictable. if it weren't for the prayers of my dear family and friends, maybe I couldn't be this strong. I need time to heal and recover from all this sadness. even though in my heart I believe my brother and my father are hard to be in the most beautiful place. there are no words that I can say to express my love for them. I pray every day for them. it's unfortunate that my plans to gather and unite with my family are now just a memory. I hope I can get through all of this. on this blog, I also want to thank my friends who have encouraged and cared for me and my family.      

                     

 Miss you so much Pah & Arsy.... Rest In Peace...till I see you again.. Al- Fatihah

Pandemic & Yogyakarta

Hi, how are you? how are you dealing with the pandemic? I can't believe it's already 2022. A lot has happened during this covid19. are you all right?back in 2020 when the first covid cases appeared in Indonesia and in the end made us all just have to be locked at home. everything goes so fast. Of course, everything affects everyone. And of course, this pandemic had an impact on my life too. it was not easy for me to get through this challenging year. wherein 2019 my father just passed away and then the pandemic hit, and in the same year, I lost a lot of my family members again. it's been a year full of trials for me. And again I say, this is not easy.On fasting in 2020, I was locked in Jakarta alone, without my family. I'm used to being away from my family, it's just that the news on TV and on social media makes me anxious and think about them. and finally, I decided to go back to Jogja for a while. to hang out with my family, and make sure they're okay. and at the end of the year, I decided to return to live in Jogja again.

I am grateful that I was given the time to be with my family. After my father passed away, my family's condition was a little different. because in my family, my father is a comedian. and the atmosphere of the house is always cheerful because of it. even so in the end, the challenges of life make us closer. and my decision to return to Jogja I think is right.

I'm also very grateful because it turns out that the pandemic in Jogja was really fun. The peaceful, serene atmosphere of Jogja, allows me to do my activities more comfortably. I also live in an area that is still close to nature, rice fields, and friendly neighbors. In this area, there are also lots of unique coffee shops and restaurants that make me feel more at home.

There are many productive things that I can do here, without having to worry but still following the health rules. and I can still work from home or work anywhere, my favorite is when I work remotely at a unique cafe in Jogja. I'm very grateful for that. I can still run in the morning, swim, work from anywhere, enjoy the cool beauty of nature, eat good food, visit painting exhibitions, or fun new tourist attractions. I couldn't ask for more.

This pandemic has taught me a lot. I learned a lot about stoicism. how I should be able to accept the situation, control my emotions, know myself better, and live a more peaceful life.

in 2020 many things happened in my life. and in the end, I learned to be more accepting of everything. But I'm sure everything will be fine
