Kenapa Gue Gak Jadi Artis?

YAEYALAH GUE SIAPA wkwk.

Disclaimer: Tulisan ini bersifat just-for-fun dan kalau tidak fun mohon dimaafkan. Intinya gak maksud mendiskreditkan profesi tertentu.

Maafkan judul yang bikin agak eneg ini but today I was just browsing through one to too many articles about "the somebody" plus those "it" people and I was like, OMG it looks so hard being a celebrity no? Hehe. Salah satu guilty pleasure saya adalah nonton infotainment. Kayak asik aja gitu bisa tau kehidupan para seleb dan berasa HITS banget kalau tau kabar terkini - sayangnya kabar yang dipilih adalah kabar berkilauan dunia entertainment T_T. Hmm namun sejak bulan Mei lalu saya memutuskan mengeluarkan TV saya dari kamar kost (replaced by another electronic stuff hehe) sehingga alhamdulillah saya udah lamaaa banget gak liat infotainment.

Joey Alexander as the muse.

Tapi akhirnya saya kepo juga. Baru liat-liat IG gosip (astagfirulloh ada pula IG tematik gini) dan saya kaget aja gitu. Bukan postingannya, saya suka seneng aja liat komentar-komentarnya. Lucu-lucu sih bikin ngikik wkwk. Ada beberapa hal yang ganggu banget menurut saya dari kehidupan gemerlapan tersebut (which is why aku gak pengen jadi artis lol):

Yang ada di TV ≠ Yang ada di Dunia Nyata

"Aslinya dia gak ramah kok, gue pernah minta foto bareng eh ditolak pake muka cemberut gitu sambil ngomong 'maaf mbak saya lagi off'. Fixed ilfil, gak ngefans lagi gua".

1437 H - A Contemplation

Pardon me for this very standard title but all I wanna say today is Happy Idul Fitri 1437 H! Let me tell you something, I came from a not very big family so Idul Fitri is usually filled with five to ten people at most and we don't really visiting each other house.

Met lebaran hehe. Lagi nyoba-nyoba cat air.

Yoi, jadi berkunjung dari rumah ke rumah tuh gak wajib di sini. Apalagi kalau udah ketemu pas sholat Ied, ya udah deh. Halal Bihalal sama temen misalnya, di luar texting dan telepon palingan maen bareng or ketemuan di mana gitu. Gak ada kunjung-kunjungan ke rumah. Makanya pas di Palembang saya agak culture shock. Di sana ternyata tiap lebaran ada yang namanya sanjo (entah gimana nulisnya wkwk). Jadi kunjung-kunjungan ke rumah temen tuh di sana udah kayak wajib gitu. Di sini? Keluarga besar udah paling banyak kalau yang menyerupai sanjo. Kalau sama temen-temen dekat or biasa gak segitunya di sini mah haha. Tetangga se-RT palingan. Bagus juga yak, mempererat silaturahim.

Tahun ini sebenernya saya lagi dapet cuti panjang. Baru kepake beberapa hari sih karena saya lagi gak ada kegiatan yang bikin saya harus cuti panjang (like traveling or umrah maybe?). Besides, kerjaan lagi banyak banget! Sejak ganti jabatan di Agustus 2015 lalu load kerjaan saya nambah beberapa ratus persen. Dibilang sibuk ya gitu deh, tapi musiman. Bisa sibuk banget dan ada juga waktu dimana saya bisa santai banget. Anyway sebenernya moto saya kan gini, mau santai mau sibuk yang penting kerjaan selesai. Maksudnya gak harus sibuk menyiksa diri padahal 'kan kerja itu orientasinya hasil, bukan semata-mata proses. Oke proses penting biar keliatan sibuk kalau bos kebeneran nanya kan asik wkwk. Tapi kalau gak selesai buat apa? Mendingan santai, sibuk sekali-kali tapi selesai doong. Hardworking doesn't mean to be always look like very busy all the time, right? Tapi itu imho sih lol.

Strange Games (As If Your Life Is Not Strange Enough)

Several weeks ago (Wait, WEEKS?) I accidentally met one of my colleagues from my early years in this company.  We haven't met for like, four years since our on-the-job-training and not much changes except I recognize on of his friends (that was actually ALSO MY acquaintance) was forgot my name *sad face*. So after small talks like, how are you doing, where are you placed now, etc., etc., he then said:

"Btw I still read your blog, and I noticed that sometimes you seems disturbed (Actually the Indonesian word for this is "alay" lol), why was that?"

I just laughed. Okay the good news is people still read my blog lol and he blogged, too, so we kind of follow each other blog although he's been dormant till now. I was quite surprised because it's been too long. Thanks loyal reader! Lol. And the bad news is, as a blogger, your life becomes more and more predictive. Like, when you are disturbed, people can see it in your writing. You tried to hide it once or twice but it's not always successful. I no longer care now actually. I can just laugh it off lol.

Life Is Strange is my current favorite game. Really love the gameplay and ambience. Dark enough to be my thing. If only The Sims has this kind features lol. Illustration by me.

Anyway, I've been playing games again for several days now. I am a seasonal gamer and when I play, I spend hours and hours. Since I rarely go out and I've been paying my fasting debt (I know, it's a shame because I'm such a procrastinator) so to kill the time I just play the games. They are mostly on PC. Mobile games are interesting, too. They are just too short to fulfill my interest.

Well to feed my satisfy, my game has to meet 80% of these criteria (lol):

1. ARTWORK

As seen on my post here, no matter how suck the game is I will still play it if the artwork took me fancy. Whimsical or fairy-tale-ish creature will be an additional value.

Yang Kamu Lakukan Ke Saya Itu: JAHAT!!!

Karena sudah lama nunggu, dan sudah sangat familiar dengan cuplikan dialog pada judul di atas mengingat trailer yang sudah wara-wiri entah dari kapan, juga meme parodi yang bertebaran, maka ketika adegan tersebut benar-benar tayang dalam filmnya, saya jadi agak-agak nahan napas sambil mikir, "ini dia!".

My ticket.

Diramu dengan dialog yang memorable, quotable dan cerita yang relatable, maka seklise apapun AADC, dia tetap memikat para fans baru maupun lama. Die-hard fans? Tentu saja bakalan susah move on selama beberapa hari lah paling lama. Well seperti saya bilang, film ini terlalu ditunggu dan terlalu sulit dilupain.
