It's a day late, but Happy International Women's Day!

I used to try to make myself small so men (and women) can have their high ego. 

I used to retreat when people disrespect me because I do not like wasting my energy for unimportant people. and I hate drama.

I used to try to be a bigger person.

I used to try to understand people.

But not anymore!

And now,

I claim my space.

I claim my rights.

I no longer tolerate disrespect.

I no longer tolerate hypocrisy.

I no longer tolerate bullshit.

Most people misunderstood my calm as the lack of power, they do not know I try to be calm because when I stop being calm, there will be a change, I'm fine with change, it's other people who are not fine with it. They do not know I try to be calm to protect them, to keep them in their delusional world.

Do not mess with my peace.

When people do that, I will make sure there will be consequences.

It's a day late, but Happy International Women's Day to all the women who support women out there. I hope you can survive the bullshit of the world, and when you can, confront it, we don't deserve facing disrespect, hypocrisy, and bullshit.

It's 2026 already!

I promised myself to write more, I failed. 😅

It's almost a year since my last post.

I try to commit myself to journaling, but seems like it's a big wish, I don't even know what to write, I think as I get older, I lost interest in writing about what I think and how I feel, too busy, too many things to do, and now I'd rather spend my free time to clean my house, or scroll instagram and send funny reels to my friends, and also.. maybe because most of the time when I have opinion, I keep it to myself. 

So,

It's already 2026.

what did I achieve in 2025?

I'm not sure.

I traveled a lot last year, I started applying for short course again because I missed being around smart people, I missed having new friends, I missed connecting with the world.

Sometimes I'm bored with my job, nothing much is going on, I barely learn new things, I don't really go to conferences anymore, and I believe I can get a higher paying job out there if I try to find it. But... I love the convenience of my current job (flexible schedules, remote work - I can work from anywhere, good work-life balance, and a supportive founders/ bosses (at least until now), I like the value of this company - you won't see me working for bad company or manager. So yes! despite all the challenges and drama at work, I decide to stay. 

What do I wish for 2026?

The world is getting more and more difficult, I see people in power do not have the capacity to be leaders, they're like clowns and the world is a circus. 

Wishing for peace in the world is too much and impossible I guess, so I just wish for peace of mind.
