Aka Aurora's Tales

On the 364th day of 2015, I would like to share what has been happening in my life. I never expected to be given such an amazing time this year. It was all wonderful despite all life problems happened. I am going to break down the timeline of my life in 2015. Hope it will give me a new motivation to start a new happy life in 2016 !

JANUARY 2015

In January 2015, I started the first day of  2015 by wishing my Russian friend, Yulya, a happy birthday. Hahahahaa yes, since she was born on January 1st. Nothing much happened in January, but I went back to the gym! I remembered that I was so enthusiastic to go back to the gym and get rid of annoying fat stuffed in my body. I met Koko Abbie, my favorite instructor and my beloved brother. My sister and I had a Wingstop date with him, too! On January 2nd, I also wished Nana, my Filipino friend, a happy birthday. I forgot whether I called her on that or not, but I think I did! Yes, she's my bitch ever! hahahaha. Aaaannnddd it was also my first time meeting my new lil niece !!! She came from Padang, West Sumatra,, and she is damnly cute and chubby :3. Not to forget to mention about waiting for my (who is now an ex-) crush to come back to Jakarta. Hell yeah, a girl like me was totally weak if it turns to love matter. I was so happy meeting him again at that time ( bloody hell >.< ).

FEBRUARY 2015

I don't know what was going on my mind, suddenly this thought popped out. I decided to go back to college to take a Bachelor's degree!!! I was out of my mind hahahahaa but I am very thankful to my crazy brain to even think about that. I was really in need of skills improvement since I felt so stuck and bored with my  (previous) job. I enjoy teaching, but I'd like to try something new. But the thing is, I don't realize what other skills I have besides teaching and singing. I wanted to try to be a Public Relations, but it's not as easy as I thought. In the end, I decided to major in Performing Arts of Communication. This is what I am looking for and this is what I want to do. I enjoy singing, dancing, and acting. I enjoy standing on stage and performing, I'm never shy to face many people. I am confident enough to perform.. In spite of my age that reached 25 years old this year, I confidently went forward and enrolled myself to London School of Public Relations Jakarta, Indonesia. I don't care about what people said, but I just don't want to regret about the things I've been dreaming of, but wasting the given chances to pursue them. Here I am now as a student yet I really enjoy it :)

My sister and my late father share the same month of birth. My father was born on February 18th and my sister was born on February 20th. Back then, we usually celebrated them together, but since my father passed away in 2009, we celebrated it in a different way. I bought a small cake for my sis and had a small party at home along with my mom. Also, I sent both, my father and my sis, prayers on their birthdays.

Friends at the gym gave me so much fun, too! Our hip hop class with Eday was crowded and Eday got even closer to us. Eday is one of humble guys I've ever met. We also joined a special Valentine's Day class with Koko Abbie and Kak Cindy. I gave Abbie a flower that I got from a restaurant. He was tremendously happy. It was not about the flower anyway, but about my sincerity towards him of course :) He's such a great instructor and a great brother, so he deserved it.

My love life was bland like unsalted butter. I found out that my (who is now my ex-) crush had a girlfriend. Sh*t that guy! If I had known about that, I wouldn't have waited for him for ages!

 

 

 


MARCH 2015

I think in March, I felt like I had no more interests in working at my previous company. I lost my confidence in teaching English! That was really bad. People kept bringing me down, but I tried to be stronger. I never lost my smile even though my was totally in pain. People said that I'm a hypocrite with no exact reasons. They just 'slapped' my face like that without telling me what was wrong. I was crying so much and I wished I could step out of that company soon. But, since I remembered that I have my mom and sis who need my hands to help them financially and I was going to continue my Bachelor's degree in September, I held it up and stood stronger.

Ah, I also learned to play piano by myself! I chose to play Mandy Moore's song, Only Hope. My teacher was Youtube hahahaha I nailed the first verse of the song, but after that I  didn't have time to practice anymore, or maybe too lazy hahahaha



 MAY 2015

I started my small business by selling delicious jams, such as Ovomaltine, Lotus, and Reese's. It was a bit hard to find those jams in Jakarta. Thanks to my ex colleague who distributed them for me and thanks to this business so I could save up my money.

May was also the most important month for my one of my best friends, Rizaldy, since he tied the knot with his girlfriend. Pepi, my other best friend, and I threw a bachelor party to him. Because of that, we met again. On the D-Day, Pepi and I attended his wedding party. We were so happy for him. After attending the party, Pepi and I decided to join Body Jam class at Fitness First. It was my first Body Jam class and I totally enjoyed it. In the same month, I also joined a special Body Jam class at Fitness First with Eday.

My mom also celebrated her birthday on May 10. We had a special dinner at Holycow steak. Mommy also wore a birthday crown to get a free steak hahahahaha it was a great nite :)

Also, my best friend, Kak Nessa, celebrated her birthday at the gym. She brought a big pan of bite size cake to the class. Happy!! :))

 


 

JUNE 2015

In June 2015, I decided to leave my company. I was auditioned to be a dance teacher for kids and I was accepted, so that was why I handed in my resignation letter. I was so excited because that was the chance for me to open a new chapter of my life. I was sick of being trapped with people who didn't please to have me around. It'd be better for me to move back and search for a new luck. However, it was hard to leave my good friends there :(

In June, I  got more ambitious about dancing. My instructors, Eday and Abbie, never stopped telling me to practice and practice. They trained me and gave me very good advice in dancing. They inspire me a lot.
