When People Stress

Stress is something that is inevitable in people's life. No matter how you do, it will look and come to you. In some case, stress is able to take one's life literally.

After several stress attack, I just know there are some way to counter it and people often use this methods as well.

1. Drink. People usually drink (alcohol) to forget their stress. It is proofed effective temporarily.

2. Extreme Case: usage of drugs. Yes, it's an extreme case, it is said able to distract people from their stress, and even from their regular life.

3. Hobby. Hobby? Yes, it's able to distract. It's harmless in most occasion, and able to fill in your world, also kick stress aside. It's one of the constructive way to kill stress. I develop my photography interest during my stress period sometimes ago.

4. Drink non-alcohol. The same as the 1st point, the difference is you don't drink any alcohol. Coffee, tea, juices are the common example.

5. Find a getaway. Find somewhere pleasant, calming. It's really helpful.

That's it. To clarify, I won't say that currently I am being attacked by stress nor I currently living a happy life, but I just want to share something that crossed my mind (again). Lol. Thanksgiving is coming! Yeay!

Saturated

Ever feeling done anything and even though you seems happy, but you're not? Or feeling saturated?

Funny to know that happened. You're laughing, you're playing, you're hanging out, but inside you're not. You feels something is empty, and you wonder how to fill it. How sucks is that? The possible answer to do recover from that is to find some getaway.

The getaway could be anything. You could get some lone time to think or to enjoy yourself. For example, if I feeling that, I'll go to the city alone, and hunt some good photos. Or I could have a lone time in Starbucks and have a cup of coffee..

That's just a possibility. I know it sound somewhat gloomy, but it doesn't mean that I'm feeling that, but well, I just feel want to post it. A short one.

Architectural Life

First of all, I have to send my condolences to the victims of recent natural disaster in Indonesia. May the one who left behind able to handle the loss.

Anyhow, I feel like to share my life and my opinion as the rookie in architectural studies. It might be exaggerating and not true (well, true to me.).

First of all, the time. We, architecture student have two day on one day. Confused? Let me explain it in points. Basically, night is divided into another time of day.

8-11 PM is our second morning.

11-2 AM is our second afternoon.

2-4 AM is our real night.

Second point, if someone asked who are our bestfriend, I would say that our bestfriends are ruler, scale, and pencil (yeah, we are all can be considered anti-sosial due to our time at the studio/lab)

Third point, you'll learn how to cherish time when you're studying architecture. Every time you spent is for drawing. Even if you have some spare time during weekdays, you'll use it for taking a nap (fyi, we don't sleep, just taking nap).

Last but not least, architect mostly work on their own. It's really hard to join venture, working on some design. I tried it, even though we're able to work well, clash between our opinion is inevitable.

Some extra: we all hate redoing things (revising our project). It's very time consuming.

Well, I think it's the end of my post. It's been delayed for a week since I wrote it. Happy November!

Homesick

I guess it's been a while eh? No, currently I'm not having a homesick, I just wanna talk about it, for now.

It's been a couple month for me and my friends here in DVC (it's my 5th month, some entering their 3rd), and they started to miss their home for some reason. It could be because they live alone in here (literally no roommate), or the extreme case, being alienated and having only a few friends.

As far as I know, there are two friends of mine who having those symptom, one manage to overcome it, while the other is just begun feeling it. She feel alone simply because she has few to trust, really few, and I guess she miss her condition back in Indonesia.

Does anyone know how to help her?

Anyhow, in case you're questioning wether I had or have homesick yet or not, yeah. I had once, but not in high stadium. I manage to recover quickly.

I believe homesick have to be cured as soon as possible. If it don't it will ruin both of our daily and academic life. Try to cheer.

The Truth

It's been a time since that wrongly-written post. Anyhow, I didn't post a blog not because of that post, nonetheless because I have no idea to post until now.

Gossip. People do love gossips, some even can be said wandering around looking for it. Often we found that the gossip are nothing but lie or false story (hoax) and those gossips are unknown by the gossiper, literally killing/hurting the subject of the gossip.

The truth. Those who goes with gossip, I believe they know nothing about the truth. Even the people are telling them the truth, they wouldn't listen for they would think, that the responds (which sometimes basically are the truth) merely the form of the subject's self-defense.

Remember this line(s). Don't be discourage just because of gossip. You (and maybe your best friends) know the truth. They can talk or think anything they like about you, but they won't by any chance, know the truth better than you (and again, maybe your best friends) do.

So, why you think about it so much? Sometimes you can say, fuck gossip! Yes, I know I can be considered as hypocrite for despising gossip (yes, I do like gossip), but I won't add more than I heard, and I'm not a story teller who tell story to everyone.

I will do my best not to 'sell' my BEST friend.

About the previous post.

About the previous post, I think I sounded kinda selfish or self-centered, but anyway, I'm not like that. Well, that's merely my personal opinion, and well..

Anyway, that things happened for some times ago. Frankly I do hope whoever saw the previous post not to think of me as a bad one. And, that's natural ain't it?

And also, I would like to apologize to those who feel offended or else. Really sorry. I'm not that selfish, but that's human nature.

Thank you.

Trust A Few, Fear The Rest

That quote, is taken from the poster of X-Men. It does mean about we have to trust some of the mutant, and fear the rest of it. Somehow, those quote applied here, in the real life.

As I left high school, I currently experience the college life. Several month after start it, I realize that I have to pay attention to the others. I do learn a lesson, still learning though, that I can't trust a lot of people. I have to pay attention to what I said to other, because I really don't know what they really are, whether they might spoil things to other people or nit. Most of them are nice, but all of them has some quite unacceptable but. By seeing (not viewing), we might be able to know who to trust, vice versa,

Life in college/university is different with high school. One of my housemate who come from Taiwan once said: "I prefer has a few friend. To many friends would cause drama(s). I'm tired of dramas."

I think she's quite right. I'm able to accept that.
