THINGS TO DO DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The Covid-19 is still not over yet. Especially in Indonesia. Since it was officially announced on February, Corona virus pandemic has flipped our lives upside-down, that we are asked to #stayathome and minimise human contact and reduce the spread of the virus.

As my concert that I should be joint on this November, going out with friends to celebrate their birthday, buying Famima coffee for morning working, taking a public transportation a.k.a Transjakarta to go to work, and going out to anywhere without any hesitations, I can never do that anymore and I never know when this situation will be normal. Let's just pray that this pandemic will be over real soon. 

As the government ask us to stay at home, lot of us are living under quarantine and lockdown right now. Although remaining inside is a good way to protect ourselves and others from the coronavirus, and is an important measure to help "flatten the curve" of daily cases that put pressure on our health care system.

What are the fun things to do while stuck indoors? I have listed some suggestions to help make our time quarantined as interesting – and perhaps even as productive – as possible.

Play Online Games Together
Playing games is another option to pass the time if you're stuck at home. In this pandemic, lots of us more creative on finding some good games to play. For example, Gartic and Among Us. Dude.. who doesn't know those games? Those games are happening during this pandemic and lots of  YouTubers make a content that they play those games together with their friends and fans. I personally into Among Us. Eventhough I'm not that good at it, but the game itself is satisfying. I usually do a voice call in google meet, or whatsApp and play that game together with my friends and sisters.

Listen To A Podcast Or Audiobook
If you are wondering what to do with your Spotify account besides listening to music and rearranging your music list, why don't you try to listen to some good podcasts right there? There are hundred of good podcasts offered with different genres. Such as, horror, education, confided, tips and trick, and many more. You can even find the podcast in YouTube as well.  

Read Some Books
Have you ever set a schedule to read some books but you got no time to read because you're just too busy with your work? Or maybe because your holiday used to go out with family, friends, or rest from working. Now, it's time for you to read the books you have been putting off for so long. 

Sell Things
If you’re one of the many people currently out of work or probably need much money to live the life you have, it’s time to think outside-the-box. Start taking matters into your own hands and set up your own business. Of course, you might not make your millions in the current climate, but there really is no better time to start planning, researching and strategising for when things improve. Infact, you can start by selling things by online a.k.a online shop. It can be food, clothes, coffee, cute furniture for school things, books, mask, and many more. 

Make A YouTube Channel
Maybe it is time for you to start your YouTube channel. Tell people what you have read, tell them about your interesting daily activity, share your insight about something, share your story to them, make a DIY tutorial of creating something, and many more. You can be more creative in your own self. You just need to be confident and believe in yourself. 

Self Care
There is no more excuses if you don't start to take care of yourself during this quarantine time. Body scrub, face scrub, face mask, hair mask, vitamin, greens, are the best thing to take care of yourself. Remember, you will never have this exclusive time to take care of yourself if there is no quarantine time.

Video Call With Your Long Distance Friends
I know some of you may have some friends from abroad. Like from, Australia, Korea, Thailand, Morocco, German, or Spain probably. Or maybe you have some friends who live in different city and you never have any chances to talk or text them. Why don't you try to start to keep in touch anymore? I believe both of you have some interesting stories to share after a long time and of course there will be many things to talk that will be never ending sharing in the end.

Do Exercise At Home
Working out at home definitely doesn't require an expensive home gym. Depending on the workout you want to undertake, you only need to clear out a small amount of space. There are many exercises that you can try from online. Such as YouTube, applications from phone, and Television.

Practice Duolingo and LingoDeer
There are so many ways to learn a language these days, from one-on-one online classes and downloadable language apps (like Duolingo and LingoDeer), to the old-school method of flash cards or post-it notes stuck to your fridge. Whatever works best for you, give it go now. Feliz estudiando!

Watch Some Movies or Series On Netflix
I don't know how many series and movies I have watched during this pandemic and there’s no better time to tick off all the goodies from your must-watch hit-list. To be honest, I always enjoy watching and never felt bored as long as the movie or series is really my type. I'm so into mystery thing, thriller, detective, time travel, and romance. So if you have the same genre like me, have you watched these series?

The Dark
American Horror Story
The Stranger Things
The Umbrella Academy
You
Sherlock Holmes
13 Reasons Why
Money Heist
Elite
The Ratched
Orange Is The New Black
The End Of The Fucking World
Sex Education
The Society
Black Summer
Emily In Paris


Additional advice:
Watch Some Series On GMMTV YouTube Channel
I have to admit it that I started like to watch BL series lately. Don't blame me! They are just too hot to handle. Especially Bright and Win. Urgh.. why are you guys so cute?! In my personal opinion, I think they made the series is easy to watch as well. So eventhough I already watch hours, my eyes never felt tired. But not all I watched are BL series. There are some of them are just like series. Boys and girls, mystery thing, and many more. 
I would highly recommend you to watch these series:
Tharntype, Still2gether, I'm Tee, Me Too, The Gifted, The Gifted Graduation, and Theory Of Love, Sotus, Blacklist, and Friendzone.

Which of these tips to do when In quarantine is for you? Share your story to me here

THE COURAGE TO BE DISLIKED BOOK REVIEW

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, gue sempet liat postingan orang lain di instagram tentang buku - buku yang dia baca. Buku putih dengan warna font hitam merah dan cover yang simple menarik perhatian gue. Tanpa mikir panjang, gue mencari buku tersebut dan mencoba untuk membacanya. Hal yang pertama kali menarik perhatian gue adalah judul dari bukunya itu sendiri. Buku The Courage To Be Disliked merupakan salah satu buku favorit gue tentang psikologi dan kehidupan. Bacaannya ringan, dialognya berisi kata - kata yang jelas, contoh case yang disajikan juga sangat mencerminkan ke dalam kehidupan sehari - hari, dan buku ini merupakan buku dengan penjelasan yang paling masuk akal dari berbagai buku yang pernah gue baca, juga buku ini sangat membekas sehingga gue pun tidak sungkan untuk membacanya berulang - ulang. Walaupun agak begitu sulit untuk menerapkan beberapa teori dari buku tersebut ke dalam kehidupan sehari - hari, tapi gue selalu mencoba untuk melihat dari sudut pandang lain.  The Coura...

SOMETIMES WE ARE JUST TOO AFRAID

I have that one moment when I feel overwhelmed everytime I try to voice my opinion which I think there is nothing wrong with it. Sometimes I end up asking people again even after what I did. For example, my best friends. I ask them to validate my emotions and what I just did. Did I do something right? Were the things I did right? Am I overreacting? Is this the right thing for me to do? Do you think I should stay calm about it all? There are pros and cons to it and if it’s more towards the cons, I’ll feel upset, stressed, and overthinking. I vividly remember that my body feel exhausted, I cannot sleep in a peace, and my mind keep ruminating for certain things. Unfortunately, in Asian culture, most of us tend to be quiet about everything that happens in our lives. We have a feeling that if we try to speak up, there will be some people who will hate us and we overanalyze in our minds that people will look at us differently. That’s quite normal. However, let me stress this to you, there is...

EMBRACING EMOTIONS EMBRACING ME

Hello gorgeous! This time I want to talk about human relationship. I'd like to figure things out like why this person behave this way? I always love to learn about this but, this time is a bit different because I watched quite a lot of podcast about human relationships. For instance, Jay Shetty, Stephan Speaks, and Lisa Bilyeu. Of course I don't watch all of their podcast. I choose what I want to watch based on the interviewees. As far as I watched, I'm more to Stephan, Najwa Zebian, Lori Gottlieb, Sadia Khan, and dr. Ramani. Oh I also write a summary that you can find from my highlight on instagram :) and the reason why I wrote that because I might be come to watch the podcast anymore when I feel like I want to but there is a feeling where I think it's tough since the length of videos mostly are 1-2 hours so I decided to make a summary. Maybe you would think that it is such a waste of time because we could get this kind of knowledge from everywhere. Such as, reels from...
