how I become a kpop fangirl

Image
Bisa dilihat dari kedua gambar di atas nunjukkin Top Artists Spotify Wrapped gue di 2021 dan 2022. Keduanya punya kesamaan, sama-sama ada grup K-pop. Berawal dari cuma iseng dengerin lagu-lagunya, sampai jadi ngefans sama beberapa grup idol. Here's how I discover myself as a K-pop fangirl. Sebenernya gue dari dulu udah dengerin lagu-lagu K-pop kok, cuma ya sebatas dengerin beberapa aja kayak SNSD, 2NE1, sama Super Junior. Itu pun cuma dengerin lagu-lagu yang menurut gue nyantol di kuping dan mostly cenderung lebih suka sama lagu-lagu girl group dibanding boy group karena gue ngerasa kalo boy group agak terlalu hiphop. Gue lupa kapan pastinya gue dengerin tapi ya pas jaman SMP-SMA lah jadi antara rentang 2010-2012.  Tapi di masa itu ya gue biasa aja sama K-pop soalnya emang lebih tertarik sama K-drama sih, jadi bener-bener ga ngikutin K-pop sama sekali. Kemudian move forward ke 2017 di mana saat itu lagi hitsnya banget BTS bahkan sampe temen gue yang seorang wibu bisa jadi suka K-po

life in 27

WOW, udah 3 tahun lamanya ya gue ga posting apa-apa lagi di blog tercinta ini. Ya banyak yg berubah sih. Sekarang siapa sih yang ngeblog? Orang mah kalo mau curhat ya di Instagram Story, Twitter, atau ya mungkin TikTok ya. Tapi berhubung gue keinget blog ini lagi dan kebetulan lagi butuh media untuk menuangkan segala isi kepala gue....sekalian aja kali ya life update di sini. So, yep tahun ini umur gue udah 27 tahun. Umur-umur segini tuh "normal" nya udah mulai bisa menentukan apa yang mau mereka lakukan selama beberapa tahun ke depan. Umur-umur udah mulai makin banyak yg nikah buat yg kelahiran 1996, bahkan ya sebenernya banyak juga yg udah punya anak. Umur-umur di mana karirnya udah mulai ada peningkatan jadi at least udah di level associate/mid level atau bahkan senior. Tapi tentunya...ga semua orang ngalamin apa yang gue sebut di atas di umur tersebut. Termasuk gue sendiri. Bahkan gue belum ngalamin semua yang gue sebut itu. Gue sama sekali ga tau apa yang mau gue lakukan

#30daysofwriting day 10: inner circle

30 Days of Writing Challenge Day 10: your bestfriend The first time I met this girl was on the first day of junior high school. We were on the same group on the orientation. Luckily, we were also on the same class and I don't know how but we instantly become more closer (until now). If you only hear her voice, you might think that she's a guy. But no, she's just a girl who has deep voice like a guy wkwkwk but honestly when I first met her, I didn't notice her deep voice that much, I don't care. As long as she's a really fun person to be with, has very wide range of music taste, tv series nerd, a friend that you can always depend on, I'm grateful to have her as my close friend. She told me a lot of stories about....anything. Her life, her friends' life, her family, scenes from movies or tv series, gossiping, but in her stories, I learned a lot about life. As I told you before, don't really have much experiences in life. So, the only thing that I can d

#30daysofwriting day 9: defining happiness

30 Days of Writing Challenge Day 9: write about happiness Sometimes, I feel like I overthink about whether I should do some things or not. 'Cause I'm afraid it won't make my happy. I forgot that happiness is not something that you search. Happiness is kind of a reward for something that you do. Happiness comes after a process. Sometimes it comes in the middle of it. So, I think happiness is something you build and then you enjoy the result.

#30daysofwriting day 8: music bring memories

30 Days of Writing Challenge Day 8: the power of music There are certain songs that remind you of a memory or a person. In my case, the song is Maybe by Yiruma. This song reminds me of my high school crush. I knew about this song from him, I listened to it and instantly became my favorite. I used to ask him to send a voice note of him playing this song since he can play piano (he plays a lot of instrument actually). And he did that. Now, I rarely listen to any of Yiruma's songs especially that song. Because I'm afraid it will make me cry or sad if I remember the memory. But the last time I heard, thankfully I feel nothing even though I remember the memory.

#30daysofwriting day 7: favorite movie

30 Days of Writing Challenge Day 7: favorite movie Honestly, I don't know if I have a favorite movie to watch. If I do, I can't choose one to be on top of the list. So I'm going to pick from one my favorite movie genre, animation. This movie is about the journey of toys that has four movies. But my favorite of all is the third one. I watched it for about three times and cried every time I watched the ending scene. Spoiler alert for those of you who haven't watch the movie.  So the scene that made me cry is when the cowboy toy (main character) separated from the owner because the owner is growing up and donating his toys to new owner. When the owner stared once more to the cowboy toy before leaving the new owner's house, it shows how he loved the cowboy toy so much. It's really a sad scene, plus the background music is very spot on completing the sadness :( But I love all the four movies and for me this is the best animation movie series I've ever watched. I

#30daysofwriting day 6: single and (trying to be) happy

30 Days of Writing Challenge Day 6: single and happy Well, that's what I'm trying to be now. I used to hope for having a boyfriend in school days. In early uni days, I also expecting for a boyfriend or at least I can get close to someone. But no. Still no boyfriend until today :) At the end of uni days, I start losing that hope. I don't even wanna try anymore. So, I decided to just go with the flow and focusing on my own happiness because that's what matters, right? Now, I'm getting used to being alone. Grocery shopping alone, eating alone, strolling around the city alone. I'm happy about it and enjoying it very much. I'm also thinking about solo traveling someday, but still concern about safety. So yeah, let's see about that in the future. Dear Amalia, Please start loving yourself more okay? #selflove
