Another Long Weekend

Welcome to another long weekend found in this year. Feeling so peaceful knowing tomorrow is Monday but I am still having so much time to do what I want, one of them is writing.

My brother just came back from Bogor. Let him having a good dating time wkwkwk as long as he got everything I requested. Things which I beg everytime he goes there are Tuna Lasagna from Makaroni Panggang and Original Klappertaart from Klappertaart Huize. Some other foods are still always be on my list these days. I often randomly think about yamin noodle, prata bread with chicken curry, and also cane bread with chocolate cheese as its toppings. Kalo roti cane berawal dari temen-temen kantor yang tiba-tiba pesen mie aceh buat makan siang but since I always bring my own lunch, I chose the sweet one as the dessert.

Another thing I have been addicted to, is this game called Fashion Empire on my phone. I am kind of sad on the other hand since I really can’t get away from my phone since I bought this from a friend some months ago. Meanwhile, I had even none of games on my previous phone.  Kalo kata mas asong yang sering mergokin gue main Fashion Empire pasti nyeletuk “Gila ya lu bener-bener all day long ya sama itu game” :)
But this game becomes viral since I figure out two of my office friends suddenly told me “Tiiiii, I am playing it too because of you, ti” Kan kena juga mereka. Woohooooo.

So many tabs are opened in my browser. I am starting to select what places I have to go on my consecutive next year (probably fall on January or February 2017). I was thinking out of country but since I only had a week, I changed the plan to list  a big island inside the country. Still making some choices and dividing it into Plan A, Plan B, Plan C, etc . Which area I am supposed to begin with and what point could be probably great to end up with. 

Some people might have said that I am such a freak to have a trip with just only me. Even when it’s still around this circle in town, I choose to make it there by myself. Sounds pathetic? Not really, I think because it’s quiet hard finding a travel mate who is really willing to go with you and who really wants to go to the same direction with you. While I am always thinking when I have time right at this second, why would I have to be waiting for a mate when I could go all the way with just myself? Moreover, I could guarantee that 95% people I met along my way are basically generous and kindhearted. 

I spend this long weekend starting from yesterday, I just randomly went to North and rent a canoe to take me closer to some ships docking in that harbour. I luckily met my canoeist from Sulawesi. He was really kind to me and he told me much things along my journey. He was like my guide to understand how a harbour life is. He really responded well to every question I asked. He explained the answer deeply so that I could understand more from it. He always smiled. He even pulled over the canoe because I said to him that I really wanted to get on the docking ship. Then he helped me to get up and climbed into the ship. It was a ship loading for sacks of cement. They were gonna sail to Sumatera according to its crew. Then I asked my canoeist, how it could be possible to get me on the ship while I didn’t saw you knocking or having an excuse to the crew. He answered, “It was because most of this ship’s crew are also coming from Sulawesi, so I am brave enough to get you here because they are my friends”. Duhhhhhhh sweet kan.

While after a tiring yesterday, I got a little pampered treatment as recovery. Today, I accompanied my mom to visit one of her best friend who is getting sick. On the way heading home, we took a little time to go to a salon. My treatment went to a package of haircut, and hair spa with a back therapy.

Night fellas…

Maturity

People have different thoughts about what maturity really defines. Some people say that maturity is not regulated by the calendar, and indeed it is really not. When I was going to an art exhibition couple weeks ago, I heard a writer said that maturity comes when a person can be completely who he is in front of his society. Hmmm, not too specific as what I expected, though. It is hard somehow to know exactly or to generally conclude what people think about maturity. Sometimes, people whom I thought they have been mature enough, they suddenly acted out of my sense, and think irrationally. The truth is, no one I think grown up completely and perfectly mature. A person says we are mature in one realm but childish in another. Remember about theory of two sides in everything. Positive and negative, black and white, up and down, good and bad, etc.

To me, being a mature person is about how we make constructive ideas inside of mind based on reality. Maturity is somewhat about facing the real situation with real common sense to have the idea how to solve it, and of course serious about that. It is also added by controlling emotion so nothing like terrible things happen or make people having cold war between each other. Because to me, maturity forces us to beat our ego. That is also thing which differentiates them with teenagers. Once you decide something in your life, you gotta be serious and stable about it.  That's why sometimes maturity is friend with consistency.

In life. people commonly demand about stuffs more than they need. I have just watched a documentary video about climate change and as a final thought, it says we have to start changing what we want into what nature can safely provide us. Hidden idea here is about being able to conditioning life based on reality. I agree with some quotes saying that maturity is about understanding the situation and understanding about small things. Yeah maybe in my words, it could be defined as understanding and accepting whatever happens in our life. Furthermore, a mature person always conduct the action which is acceptable to the major of society both ethically and morally.

Yes, we are not supposed to define maturity from only one aspect. It contains of many related points which I am actually still trying to figure out and learn more. The hell part is back again to realize that maturity is a subjective topic. A judgement which has to be adjusted based on what each person thinks.


What is maturity to you?
