Thank you, COVID-19

2020 has been half running. As the starting point of the new decade, we know that people are putting million ambitious dreams and to-do lists. Are you one of them? I also did the same things. I made 20 wishes to reach this year. As an enthusiastic person, it sounds challenging. Sometimes, I see it as a competition of the individuals to show their self existences. People will carry out all the things they have to reach it by giving 100 percent in this year.

Sometimes, we are too sure and confident to reach our lists. We are focused on doing extras activity to put the checklist on the completed goals. We sometimes forget that there is the only one who can bring it into reality, Allah SWT. Then for all the arrogance that we made, He reminds us by testing the people with an invisible thing called COVID-19 - an acute respiratory disease caused by Corona Virus.

The disease spread fast from China to all over the world. It spreads through droplets and attacks everyone in just minutes or even seconds. For those who have an immunocompromised condition, this disease is very life-threatening by causing respiratory problems. Thousands of victims are increasing drastically. Thousands of people also lost their families.

COVID-19 does not only bring health damage. It also affects many life sectors. As a result, we should work from home, learn from home, and obey some social interaction restrictions to reduce the spreads of the viruses. In the first two weeks, we could handle it. Next, we started to feel stress, bored, and anxious. After a month, people become burned out of their home activities. They stressed after reading all the news, frustrated by the increasing daily needs price, sad because they were unemployed, and anxious caused by the criminal increases. COVID-19 is truly affecting everyone's life, including me.

Trough some post next up, I just want to share my reflections and experiences from this event. I wrote it mainly to remind myself that from this pandemic I've got lots of things to learn and probably can be useful for my future or inspire you, the reader.

All about donor darah

Sudah pernah ikut donor darah? Jika sudah, aku sangat mengapresiasi tindakan baikmu... pokoknya lanjutkan terus yaaa donornya secara rutin :) Anyway , tulisan ini sebenernya bukan ditujukan buat kamu yang sudah pernah donor melainkan buat bro sis yang belum pernah nih XD... siapa tahu abis baca tulisan ini tiba-tiba kepengen buat donorin darahnya. Kenapa sih kita kudu banget donor darah, Din? Faktanya nih ya... ternyata dalam sehari permintaan darah buat pasien-pasien di rumah sakit tuh tinggi banget loh.. dalam satu tahun aja di Indonesia permintaannya bisa mencapai 4,5 juta kantong darah (1 kantong tuh isinya 350 ml, jadi dalam setahun butuh lebih dari 1,5juta liter darah). Kalau nggak terpenuhi ya bayangkan jika ada pasien yang mau operasi tapi nggak ada stok darah, bisa nggak jadi operasi dong. Atau ekstremnya ada pasien kecelakaan dan butuh tranfusi darah tapi nggak ada stok, bisa bisa ya nyawanya melayang. Nah, sebagai orang yang sehat, hal ini tentu perlu kita syukuri dan bisa...

Being A Nursing Student

Aku tidak pernah membayangkan sebelumnya untuk menjadi seorang perawat. Sedari dulu yang terbayang diotakku adalah partner kerjanya yang selalu memakai jas putih ( You know lah . . .). Tapi aku sebagai manusia biasa hanya bisa berencana. Yang menentukan sepenuhnya adalah yang Maha Menentukan. Dengan berbagai pertimbangan soal finansial, usia, pendidikan kedepannya, bahkan hingga jodoh, hatiku mulai memantapkan pilihan  setelah sholat istikharah untuk memilih di Ilmu Keperawatan UGM. Setelah aku dinyatakan diterima di Prodi Ilmu Keperawatan UGM, pertama kali jelas aku bersyukur sekali bahwa aku sudah mendapatkan kursi di PTN tanpa harus mengikuti test. Ada tangis haru ketika mengabarkan berita ini kepada Mamaku lewat telpon seluler. Mamaku juga bersyukur walaupun jauh didalam hatinya Mama ingin jika aku masuk STAN saja. Namun kadang, rasa bahagiaku ini mulai diuji ketika aku bertemu dengan orang orang yang menyayangkan keputusanku untuk memilih Prodi Ilmu Keperawatan. Jika ada ...

The meaning of being adult

"Hey... How's life" is the first line I asked when meeting with everybody I care about, including her, my old ambitious squad in junior high school. It's already 6 years since the last time we met. We were closed enough until we walked in a different educational path after graduating from JHS. She is intelligent, independent, and friendly. That combination plays an essential part in modeling her as a perfect career woman. Most women like her will consider entering senior high school and then continuing their bachelor's education in university. However, she decided to challenge herself by continuing vocational study in petroleum major that took 4 years to finish. For me, it was the most adventurous decision-making ever as a woman with a high IQ like her.  Years passed, I got the fact that she was accepted into the tax education diploma program in the Indonesian financial department ministry college (STAN)... Oh God... she is fantastic. As a buddy, I'm also a bi...
