Loss

Before I lost my laptop , I’ve lost my shoes, about 6 months ago. It was a still shiny new when I lost it. Of course, I was angered and confused. But ultimately, I was able to console myself. “This is bad. But this is not the worst thing that could happen. You know, I could’ve lost my phone or even my laptop.” *** Now, let me tell you a story of a young girl. She is a shy girl. She doesn’t have many friends, but she has a very cheerful and loving older sister. Thanks to her sister, she can find some nice friends in the school. This girl really likes to sing. She often sings alone in her room or in the bathroom, and her sister would tell her how wonderful her voice is. But she has a problem. Because of her shyness, she would get really nervous in front of a lot of people. Unfortunately, the music class in her school requires her to sing in front of the entire class. As expected, her voice becomes very shaky and stiff whenever she was told to sing. Luckily, because of the help o...

How Does it Feel to Lose a Laptop

Good evening, my nonexistent readers! I hope you’re all doing well. I’m also doing very well, as I’m still able to write this blog post today, about two weeks after I actually lost my laptop. What? Yeah, it’s kinda ironic for a Computer Science student to lose his own computer. But, it wasn’t completely unexpected …. The Background Alright, so you should’ve already known that I like to tell things chronologically, often spanning a respectably long period. And that’s exactly what I’m going to do. Back in August, I entered the sophomore year of college. I was relieved, because I don’t have to deal with those high school subjects that I don’t really like, so now I can focus on the fun stuff: computers and softwares. But I also had some worries. One of them is that I might have to carry my (now lost) laptop around quite often. Image from HP Support My old laptop is a 14-inch HP 1000 with 2nd gen Intel Core i3 and 2GB of RAM. Back then in high school, it is one of the best l...

Saya Kebanyakan Nonton Anime

Image
Bukan dari kuantitas, atau bahkan dari kualitas, tapi secara personal. Sampai saat ini, saya sudah menonton lebih dari 100 anime, sebuah jumlah yang bisa dibilang cukup banyak. Banyak juga dari 100an anime tersebut yang berasal dari Top Anime Myanimelist , jadi dapat disimpulkan bahwa saya sudah menonton cukup banyak anime yang berkualitas. Namun,  menurut saya kedua hal itu tidaklah menjadi masalah. Yang ingin saya bahas di sini adalah bagaimana saya terlalu banyak mengidentifikasi diri saya dengan anime-anime yang saya tonton. Seperti yang telah dikatakan ghostlightning dalam salah satu postnya : "Daftar (anime) favorit seseorang disusun sedemikian rupa untuk menceritakan suatu kisah tentang orang yang membuatnya. Daftar tersebut dibuat untuk menghasilkan sebuah 'brand' bagi orang tersebut." Sekarang, mari kita lihat apa saja yang ada dalam daftar anime favorit saya: Coba kita perhatikan dari bawah. Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei (Tatami Galaxy). Sebenarnya a...

Meninggal di Kosan, Jadi Seharusnya Bagaimana?

Image
Rasanya sudah lama saya tidak membuat artikel dalam kategori thought akhir-akhir ini. Bukan karena saya jarang berpikir, tapi karena sebenarnya cukup susah untuk menemukan sebuah pemikiran yang cukup menarik sekaligus pantas untuk dipublikasikan. Ini juga pertama kali saya membuat artikel berbahasa Indonesia lagi setelah sekitar satu tahun yang lalu. Saya tidak tahu banyak mengenai kondisi kos-kosan di luar negeri, jadi saya rasa akan lebih baik kalau artikel ini ditulis dan dibaca dalam bahasa Indonesia.

Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl

If you, by any chance, followed my blog from the beginning, you should have at least a faint idea why I like anime. For the cute girls! That's why, when looking for a new show to watch, the cuteness of the cover art can be a decisive factor if I should watch it or not. But before we see the cover art, I'd like you to know how I found out about this anime. For some reason that I've forgotten, this blog is in my reading list. I don't remember how I found out about this blog, but it has some high quality photos of anime figures with beautiful backgrounds. And then I stumbled upon this... Out of morbid curiousity, I googled for "Erio" and then I discovered Erio Touwa and, therefore, Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko . So here I am, at Denpa Onna's MAL page . After being fascinated by the cover art, the next thing I do is watching the trailer. The thing that really draws me in is the music. I love this kind of background music, it's like having a...

Should You Watch "Kemono Friends"?

Image
So, at first, I wanted to make a very long essay about this. But the more I write it, the more I think it's not gonna work. And then I finally lost it and just scrapped it entirely. Luckily, I still have some motivation left so I'll just write about the real reason I wrote that article in the first place. I've done some research on Kemono Friends , and I see somethin interesting. According to MAL , yaoyorozu (the studio that made Kemono Friends) has made another anime called Tesagure! Bukatsumono . This is a little bit tricky because ANN doesn't list Tesagure! in yaoyorozu's company profile . But there are indeed some common names between the two anime's staff list. So, this is the opening of Tesagure!: What do you think? I think it's one of the best anime OP I've ever seen. And this is just a parody anime. Imagine if the people who made this now make a serious anime. That's Kemono Friends. So what're you waiting for? WATCH IT RIG...

Why I Decided to Purchase Deemo

"Never left without saying goodbye" Have you ever installed a cracked game, uninstalled it, then installed it again, but this time you purchase it properly? Because I just dit it.
