Addiction.

A few months ago I sent a one month notice and finally resigned from my job. After that, it's been a whirlwind of emotion - happy for removing myself from a toxic environment (not from my colleague, they're the best), sad from being rejected by so many companies that I personally would like to work for, anxious and scared due to some health scare I got a few weeks ago and many more. It's really fun most of the time but there are times where I think I am in an infinity loop.

I also realized that I am so out of focus, and I realized that it is because I am super addicted to social media. There are so many things to look at, so many things to read, to absorb, to feel and I just got super tired. I uninstalled my Twitter app on my phone and logged out of my Instagram account. While I still use my phone a lot, I realised that I am more focused on doing things because less distraction and I can also avoid information overload on my poor little brain.

Not only that, but I also realized how little I matter on the world wide web. I rarely (if not never) put out content that matters to people so I guess I am also saving their data haha.

So what have I been doing so far? I make popia everyday for my mother to sell. She doesn't pay me anything so I'm just helping her, not working with her. Then, I am also selling sandwiches. Alhamdulillah, for now, I managed to sell everything and I hope it will continue to be that way. I've been doing some freelancing too and I feel like I should focus more on this because it helps pay for stuff. But I am constantly insecure with my ability so I'm not pushing it too much.

As for entertainment, I am still with my bois, BTS. This time, being a fan is different because I have people to gush about them to unlike when I was a Bigbang fan. Still am, but most of them are serving for their country so I guess that is on hold haha. I am also watching Produce48 now! Please watch if you have the time. My bebe Sakura is definitely stealing my heart, I want to adopt her.

I guess I'll stop here. Maybe I should write everyday hahahahahaha no. Bye!

"He told you that he has a Robin in his life?" "No, he posted it online" "Sorry girl, but bad news, you gotta give up on this one." "But, he's perfect. And I don't give want to give up on him" "If he ends up with you, he will always have someone else on his mind. What if his Robin wants to get back with him? You think he is going to stay for you?" "I don't know. Maybe I could change his mind" "Do you know the girl?" "Yes" "When did he break up with her?" "Years ago...." "Just move on, don't hurt yourself" "But then he's going to be my Robin" "Maybe he wont. Maybe he will"

KAMIZINE

These four months have been very very good to me. I really have to thank Allah for the rezeki that He is giving me, even though I have a long way to go before I can be considered a good Muslim. I quit my old job and I am finally doing what I love, writing and handling business. I have been freelancing for 4 months now and I have written so many things and it's really have been fun. I am also in charge of two social media accounts (four if you count in my own account and my business account!) which is quite a handful for me. But I get to decide my own work hours so that's cool. I am also a self-proclaimed publisher now. Tiq and I were talking about making our own zine and building a platform where contributors will get paid for their work and we decided right there and then to start our own zine. It was so sudden but we're doing fine, we even joined an event the other day to start selling our zine. We are still very small but we're very proud of what we've achieved...

Fiction: Amak's story

Testing 1,2,3, testing. Hello. Hi. Hi to all 23 of you. Thank you for coming here to be with me to send Amak to her next journey in life. Or afterlife. I don't know. I'm not sure how this works.  When I asked the person in charge on what should I put in my speech, he told me that I should insert some prayers and a few anecdotes of Amak. And that is what I shall do. You see, Amak lived all her lives with people spreading rumors about her, but instead of correcting them, she ignored everything and continued living her life her own way. And that what makes her special. Amak is my mother. She did not carry me in her womb for 9 months, she did not stay awake at night during the early years of my life like all mother's do. But she saved me and gave life to me when I almost died 15 years ago. After living for 15 years with her, there are a few of my favorite memories of her that I would like to share with you. My first favorite memory is when the first time I saw Amak...
