It can be called the first week of January 2016. I am like entering a new book. It's been just 6 days after that the last day in 2015, but on these 6 days, there have been too many unexpected things happened. Too many, a bit shocking. Not too much, but not only a day or two, each day has its own surprise. It made me thinking that "whoa... it's really A new year"
Nevertheless, I am really (really..really...really...really) GRATEFUL towards 2015. It answered everything even on the last days of 2015. Amazing eh? Therefore, I dedicated this very first post in 2016 to still talk about 2015. It is Rewards time!
I haven't done this in many many years, but I think there are stuff that highlight my 2015.
Let's dig in!
1. Food of the year - Mie ayam Rp 6000
I haven't eaten one particular menu for this many. I could eat this trice a week, because it was cheap and convenient if I forgot to bring food in the office. It is my so called comfort food if I did not cook.
2. Drink of the year - Nescafe coffee mix PAS Rp 1000 per sachetIf in 2014 was my Starbucks year, 2015 was my nescafe year. Again, it is cheap and easy. Plus, Malang doesn't have starbucks. It certainly does have good coffee, but it is just a bit wooshing around if I need to buy it. Nescafe was the answer.
3. Movie of the year - The Sounds of Music.
Yes baby. After visiting Von Trap lodge in April 2015, I couldn't help my self not to own the soundtrack and the movie, and I watched it every weekend (parts by parts of course). It is indeed the Classics!!!
4. Drama of the year - drumroll!!! MISAENG
In entire my 26 years old life, I have watched this freaking drama like I have re-watched The Sounds of Music. Not bored, and if I counted, it was 5 times already, not to mention how much I have watched one particular episode. Yes yes yes... I know you might be bored to hear about this, and I am totally fine if you don't like this drama, but.. ah I heart it..place it in the very special already. It is indeed my healing... I have done it many times. If I was feeling down, I watched an episode or two random episodes of Misaeng, and I could still laugh, cry, and felt warmth in my heart. That powerful.
6. Quotes of the year -
Travel far enough and you'll meet yourself. Can't explain more.
7. Singer of the year - Kwak Jin Eon is my sweetest discovery, but I can say that Kim feel is my hearthrob. Both are the first and runner up of Super Star K6 (Korean show) in 2014. I firstly fell in love with the deep voice of Kwak Jin Eon, but thanks to Immortal Songs 2, I could see the charming part of Kim Feel more. I am more excited to see if Kim Feel and Kwak Jin Eon are once again paired. Perhaps, I can see them on Immortal Songs 2 soon.
8. Song of the year - There were two actually, and both are involving Kwak Jin Eon and Kim Feel, but I think I chose "Don't Worry" more. It was originally sang by Ddeulgukhwa. I have heard it on Immortal songs 2 sang by Ali. Really caught by how Kwak Jin Eon and Kim Feel sang it, and then recently Lee Jeok sang it for 1988 OST. How many arrangements are made, they were all beautiful. And ... oh the lyrics... I love how it is not necessarily meant to be a love song.
9. Highlight of the year - I got promoted in June, moved to Malang, literally ALONE in a new city, no friend, no acquaintance. I survived, and am loving the city eventually. and... :) my papo got married again in Feb. No, it was not a sad story..I have known the person that he chose for a loooong time. I don't like to call her step mom... second mom is more a fit even though, I don't really like it either. But, she's been my second mom since I was very little. When my mambo was sick or couldn't be around, she would be the one who's with me. I wish the very best for the two ;)
10. Lesson of the year -
Be grateful of anything, anytime, even if you haven't got it. It was actually words from my very own papo. Say thank you for everything, everytime...
See things positively and ...
thank you for that...
