plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose
Apparently this new, or rather old actually, hobby hasn't yet I revealed to my audiences here. After 2 years wondering where my seated ego should land for recreation, finally the popular cafe everyone always longs for comes with blissfulness to offer.
STARBUCKS.
As for simple middle-high socioeconomic class socialites, this is the cafe that offers life; as I mentioned, relaxation. Have you ever thought what this coffee shop can create but offer? Well, that's a lot, depends on how you optimize the resources.
I'm not gonna talk about how I at first use this comfortable zone to study because of atmosphere it provides. I'm not gonna say how some of my friends and I shared some deep stories here. Not either I'd tell that I've ever had a debate practice here. Oops, I've just told you all 'em. But still, it's not the best part of this post.
Friendly gesture and sociable Barista, those exactly

Happy Sinning
It's always hard to get rid of daily habit in a glimpse, but you know it's always harder to get rid of hobby you've been clinging to, especially in times of denial. They said, escapism is sweet. And I believe no one can disapprove it.
You see every drama player can never live peacefully when there is no drama around, and sometimes their nature seeks it for them unconsciously. Once you've got used to every difficult paths to pass, the smooth one will be the most difficult to live on. Perhaps but surely, that's exactly what makes us break our promise to God to walk the journey given in divine way. One thing however to remember, we're not Buddha. Everytime we thought we're enlightened, the demonic temptation would viciously always chase us after. Before we knew, we'd already fallen into the despair we ourselves chose despite hating. But then again, as it's said nothing can last forever, neither can illumination.
As they said, prohibition can never win against exhibition,

"They say the universe has a great sense of humour,
that sometimes having your dreams come true can feel like a nightmare,
because getting what you want always comes with string attached.
And even when you think you're finally in the clear, you're never home free.
Every happy ending is just a new beginning,
because in the Upper East Side the good times never last forever."

Motivational Junk. Personal Political Junkie.
Life story filled by usual motivational inspiring jealousy, they said to me it was. My part was only feeling envious of, other people's part was always being the great-minds-think-alike-eh-? and great-people-do-inspire-alike-eh-?. But let's put aside how I much less now admire a close high school friend of mine namely just Erwin, or with his Chinese family name, Erwin Huang (which "Huang" is not formally inserted in his legal Indonesian birth certificate. And why the heck this is important for me to be informing here.) that he's just launched his very first fashion collection designed and sewed by himself in the greatest fashion show ever in Indonesia, Jakarta Fashion Week.
Honestly speaking artistically, as for my godly eyes for fashion taste, Erwin's art is definitely what we call as fashion design. He's still a student, and yet already has made his great debut with his godly hands. Regarding to "godly eyes for fashion taste", it may be just my self-confidence aggravated by my self-esteem, but ladies and gentlemen, it's not merely my opinion. It's people's opinion. Well, it can be practice-makes-perfect factor, anyhow.
As I said, let's put the story above aside. 2 paragraphs are enough.
I'm now more into to talk about something I've just realized and wondered why I have never talked about here before. I mean, it's obviously part of myself being myself but never slightly I left this part of myself to be shared here. So, let's begin.

They call it as "Sincerity"
About 2 months have passed. Much to tell but let's see what I can do here.
Never thought before that practically it's true, true peace comes from balance. Philosophically I always know, either by reading or contemplation, but exercising mind to action is totally different. Reality is never as easy as thinking, despite world's order is made by great thinkers.
Now take a look to the case: Why the hell couldn't I understand sooner, that being a medical student is not that difficult? Why wasn't I able to accept my calling?
But lest regret conquers me, I am what I am because of what I was.
Sometimes freedom is not always about leaving, but freedom is to stay.
It takes sincerity to let myself live not my own dream, to make myself dream someone else's dream. It's not easy, but it's the path I have to pass through.
I'm not saying I'm

"There’s a reason I said I’d be happy alone.
It wasn’t ‘cause I thought I’d be happy alone.
It was because I thought if I loved someone, and then it fell apart, I might not make it.
It’s easier to be alone.
Because what if you learn that you need love?
And then you don’t have it?
What if you like it? And lean on it?
What if you shape your life around it?
And then… it falls apart?
Can you even survive that kind of pain?
