Major things in August

August was such a tight month for me. I feel so sorry because I can’t keep my promise to dedicate this month to talk about minimalism and also because I skip last week’s weekly post. The last week of August was crazy! It was so crazy until now I’m welcoming September with fatigue. I always become emotional when I feel tired. So, this (weekly replacement) post is gonna be personal and I welcome you to skip if you don’t find any value even in the next couple of paragraphs.

Many major thing in my life happen this month. Ranging from I becoming a Mozilla Reps back then in 20 August. And then my birthday last 26 August, and also my graduation in a day later. Plus, my first abroad trip to Bangkok last week (I’ll talk about this in another post). August was the busiest month so far this year.

Talking about the Mozilla Reps program that I joined last 20 Aug. I never thought that I’m going to end up becoming a reps. My senior and also my role model contributor in Mozilla, om Romi is doing a great job as a mozillian but never be a reps. So I never have any thought that a great mozillian should become a reps. But after so many encouragement from my fellow local community, and also a long and deep thinking, I challenge myself to sign up. It’s not an easy decision. Since I’m all beyond excited and scare at the same time after I complete my Reps profile. Because being reps comes with huge responsibility. And as I don’t like doing things half-hearted, so when I say yes it means that I must be get ready to fully take the responsibility. But anyway, my previous 3 years experience as an FSA do help. Now that I become a reps, I feel like I enter a new phase of my mozillian journey. And I hope that it will be a fun journey just like all this time. (:

And there goes 26 August when I’m turning 22. Birthday is never be a significant moment in my life to be honest. I feel awkward towards any kind of surprise (including birthday surprise). I mean, it’s just so cheesy. Usually, I like to spend my birth day to do, to go, and to eat whatever I want. It’s the day that I allow myself to be totally selfish. It’s the day when I usually try something I never got the guts to do before. Including to color my hair. I remember woke up as 22 in the morning and look at the mirror to see how the color is turning out (I color it in the night before). But then I hate it instantly. Even I can’t stand to look at the mirror that whole day, which is sad because it’s my birth day. And then I swear that I’ll just turn it back to black as soon as possible. I keep it for now because it’s just too dangerous for my hair to get colored again in a short period of time. So I need to be more patient for a while.

And then I graduated exactly the next day after my birth day. Graduation is something that I never expect to be a special moment of my life. But now that I’ve experienced it myself, I feel it was one of the most memorable moment in my life. Even the happiness is still linger on me until today. I feel grateful that I can surpass my GPA that I dreamed about. Now my plan is just to ignore everyone who say “Welcome to the jungle!”. Since it was my plan to only playing around in that jungle for awhile :b. I’m still planning to move home from Semarang right now. Just need to stay a little longer to finish my duties before leaving to Tegal. Actually, it’s scaring me to death that I should coming back home if it’s not for my family. Because internet signal in my home is suck. And I’m writing this post from my home right now. That’s why there’s no even a single photo in this post. But apart of it, change is always a scaring moment, right?

So to sum up all of that, August was like a huge turning point in my life. Not to mention various events that I’ve organized and attend in this month, which make August become so exhausting. But I can’t thank Allah enough for everything that happen in August and bunch of new exciting opportunities that I can’t wait to face ahead.
