My University Life Story; Junior Year

I remember that night as I just finished my class and I was on my way back home. It was a usual tiring day as I was walking down the bus’ shelter, crossing the super long bridge to take another bus route, it was so tiring both physically and mentally. I opened up my phone and looked up for the result of my latest test for the student exchange program to Beijing, only to find out I failed. All over again.

My University Life Story; Sophomore Year

Have I told you how severe my condition when I started my freshman year?? Have I told you that with that small amount of money, it was only enough for me to pay for the transportation (the long and tiring one) and a small pack of an ice tea?? YES it was only enough for that, daily. Every single day, I had to bring my own lunch box and a tumblr full of water from home... That added my heavy bag full with books already. No wonder I was always so small no matter how much I ate. lol :) Before you continue reading this article of my sophomore year in university, I strongly suggest you to read my freshman year story first, here: "Oktafia's Freshman Story" . So, let's now continue the story :)

1 Year with PouchNATION

Hola world! It's been a really long time since the last time I casually write in my blog. 2016 to 2017 have been an amazing journey for me. It has been the 2 years where I have accomplished many small and big things, and have made some of my dreams come true (many more to come).

Joining the company since November 2016, up to today, it's been the 14th month I have been in this company, and my journey here has been filled with A LOT of exciting experiences. I got to say, I've been working in a company where most of my friends wish they can join too. Here's how I can wrap up a bit of my 1 year journey with PouchNATION!

My University Life Story; Junior Year

Junior Year A year of excitement, a year of new hope, a year when I thought everything will go as beautiful as those movie scenes.  The first year came as happy as it should be. A high school graduated girl was finally entering an institution where she wanted to be, with the major she wanted to pursue. No more forcing, no more coming to school only for obligations. No more. It now all was about her and her passion.

My Confession 1.0

“seorang Okta, kapan gak marah? Kapan seorang Okta tidak terlihat atau terdengar marah? Gak pernah!” “When is the last time Okta does not seem angry? Okta, not look or sound angry? When? Never” The joke, the statement, keeps surrounding my mind up until now. It’s been forever I have the predicate of an angry person.

Thoughts on Family

that moment when everything is falling down, you're in your most hopeless point in life and you call you mom then saying: "I am really apologizing for every mistakes I've done to you. I got these all bad things happen probably because I have too many bad things done to you and I am sorry for that"  instead of forgiving, then she said  "no, don't apologize. Instead, I do apologize for not being there for you, helping you in this situation and you have to face it all alone. forgive me"
