Discipline yet Friendly...
As you age, you’ll develops your own theories of how you want to act in your entire life. Everyone has their own art in choosing thousands of wisdom and lessons, to choose one or to seek their own way. I have been going to school, receiving all sorts of preach from teachers for seventeen years now and I feel like I have my own freedom to convey any values and morals which ever been instilled.
Formal education plays an important role in preparing everyone to determine of what kind of person they will grow and develop. What good education would help? Friendly Education.
The theory put forward by William Glasser can describe what kind of education should be done. Glasser said that there are four basic needs of children, freedom, achievements, joy, and love, and these four points should be instillled in school. Teachers, should be able to ensure classrooms are fun and interesting for every student, despite their misbehave behavior. Misbehave behavior of each student is a proof that freedom is still exist, but in a condition that consequences are also available. A teacher is allowed to own the right of authority in the classroom to control conducive situation.
This is one form of discipline. Assertive discipline is a solution to misbehave behavior. According to Lee and Marlene Canter, discipline aims to teach students to choose the action that can be accounted for. Discipline may take place on condition that a teacher should not waver in the face of student behavior that tries to beg, bribe, cry, angry, aggressive or sulk.
One of the failures that often hamper the progress of discipline value is inconsistency in applying the rules. Friendly education is an education accommodated with love and compassion. However this is often used as a proposition to release a student who is at fault. For a teacher, showing care, sympathy, even empathy is essential to establish respect in students. But, to be objective is also important to establish the student responsible.

Chocolate, a happy booster
O--nice life, while I am still able to feel my head fully compressed by shattered and scattered lectures’ matters, papers, readings, cheap typical dilemma of teenager, and all those bugs filling every single space of my lobes. Ha-ha, how nice...
THAT’S--what makes curse is damn heavenly good.
In today’s 24/7 world, stress affects us in myriads ways. From the light-simple bad mood to the badly extreme migraine, from the unknown reason crying and yelling to excessive unstoppable munching habit. Those are all how people will define and notify that they are in one of “stressed-out” phase of life. True?
Then, what would one do to relieve their stress? to at least escape from the inflexible feeling of the heart?
Most of them would run around the town.
Go dating? Hmm... seeing his smile is an answer of all problems.
Yelling out loud, cursing, swearing. Oh-damn, I owe so much to those who found those words of curse.
But... I would walk to the convenient store, grabbing one bar of $1 delfi chocolate, one with almond inside. First of all, it’s not tiring. Secondly, I am not really sure if I have someone to go dating with. Thirdly, I hate when my throat sore from all shouting. The last, it’s sweet and comfort me.
“Chocolate is cheaper than therapy and you don’t need an appointment“
anonymously written-a nice quote found in a Journal.
Parker and Crawford had proven that from 3000 individuals with clinical depression, 45% showed their crave for eating chocolate reasoning it would help them with their mood. Chocolate has been used as clinical therapy since the days of the Aztecs. Interesting?
youtube
Some researchers concluded that chocolate has therapeutic effect on modulating stress. It was reported that consuming 50 g of dark chocolate could decrease stress reactivity through suppressing cortisol synthesis from adrenal gland. The modulating effect of chocolate is done by inhibiting serotonin degradation and prolongs its action on creating happiness. Salsalinol (SAL) contents in chocolate also bind to dopamine receptors which affect reward system and endorphins production. Another interesting mechanism of chocolate psychoactive effect is acted by the nutritional value. High intake of high-carbohydrate and tryptophan would increase your insulin’s plasma level. Insulin plays crucial role as amino acid transporter and help tryptophan decreasing their competitor passing blood-brain barrier to be converted into serotonin. Thus, it’s an important mechanism which increase serotonin level in brain post-synapse.
By the way, I am just finding my own justification and excuses to keep enjoying chocolate despite the weight-gain I am facing. Whatever it takes, make your self happy first! Happy, happy :)

INTJ- Me?
Personality shouldn’t be kept mystery.
Personality is someone’s hidden intelligence.
No?
In the era where people should be their own-self's hero, the best cheat to conduct a living is knowing who you are to be the best what you are...
It’s only a fun thing to do between your study, take it in only 12 minutes.
1. MIND: 80% INTROVERTED
2. ENERGY: 75% INTUITIVE
3. NATURE: 67% THINKING
4. TACTICS: 55% JUDGING
5. IDENTITY: 72% TURBULENT
It’s somehow sounded true that I wasn’t really good in engaging others or conditions.
Based on the 16personalities website, INTJs form just two percent of the population, and women of this personality type are especially rare, forming just 0.8% of the population – it is often a challenge for them to find like-minded individuals who are able to keep up with their relentless intellectualism and chess-like maneuvering. People with the INTJ personality type are imaginative yet decisive, ambitious yet private, amazingly curious, but they do not squander their energy.
The good side INTJs might show...
Quick, Imaginative and Strategic Mind – see things from many perspectives, taking every opportunity to improve their knowledge, and this shows in the strength and flexibility of their strategic thinking. Their curiosity would kill cats.
High Self-Confidence – INTJs trust their rationalism above all else, so when they come to a conclusion, they have no reason to doubt their findings.
Independent and Decisive – Authority figures do not impress INTJs, nor do social conventions or tradition, and no matter how popular something is, if they have a better idea, INTJs will stand against anyone they have to in a bid to have it changed.
Hard-working and determined – If something piques their interest, INTJs can be astonishingly dedicated to their work, putting in long hours and intense effort to see an idea through.
Open-minded – All this rationalism leads to a very intellectually receptive personality type, as INTJs stay open to new ideas, supported by logic, even if (and sometimes especially if) they prove INTJs' previous conceptions wrong.
Jacks-of-all-Trades – capable of doing anything they set their minds to. Excelling at analyzing anything life throws their way, INTJs are able to reverse-engineer the underlying methodology of most any system and apply the concepts that are exposed wherever needed. INTJs tend to have their pick of professions, from IT architects to political masterminds
Despite those things that INTJs might have, I often heard people talk about me being arrogant, judgmental, overly analytical, and have no affection. It’s just funny.
It turned out to be INTJ-T, it didn’t guarantee anything because I think personality is one’s brain prerogative. Things called emotions, affections, temperament, and manner are one’s prerogative. It shouldn’t be defined in particular way and nothing could measure it as how it is.
But I’d like being secure when knowing these sort of lists, that nothing has ever been wrong. Being cold or warm, lenient or rigid, no one could guarantee which one would fit the best to live happier in lives.

Trip!
So, there’s a big tree with red benches beneath. The perspective from that side made this pagoda looked so dashing from the natural rays God spreading us. A clear blue sky of course dignified the flaming red buildings all over places.
I was sitting with my sister, having a random cackle about times we spent on us each when we were apart.
I insisted to be photographed right in the center. It doesn’t look bad for the quality of phone’s camera, right? Giving me the broad view, somehow make me look a pinch-bit slimmer, please say yes!
This place called Sam Poo Kong, said to be one of historical place where Islam started in Indonesia? Well, since it would be Ramadan soon, it somewhat brought me chills, how beautiful religion could be, so flexible to find a space in everyone’s culture yet still has its dignity to stick onto what God’s saying. Masha Allah...

LIVE A LIFE.
Believing my heart can’t catch up yet with the reality. No matter how hard I tried to cope with the new situation, the denial wipe it off clean making the reality even clear and evident before my eyes.
Because ballad-mellow songs couldn’t accommodate it more, the damn rap songs really help to push everything out of my mind, cursing, grouching, ragging. A way to call out the neurotransmitter to relieve the inflexible heart.
Just...
It doesn’t look right to keep crying because somehow it wouldn’t change anything.
Just...
Questioning, the heart seems hard to open or it’s been acting too rigid. Why?

Turning 19!
I am aging! Getting old, being almost a complete adult, and turning 19. What to do, even though I have been hating birthday so much for changing me from baby to toddler, toddler to kid, kid to teenager, and now I am almost an adult, I am still so grateful for every blessing God has poured me.
19 years aren’t short and simple trip. There are much highs and lows, bunches ups and downs, myriads joys and sorrows, suffers and satisfactions. All which made me the way I am now.
The thing I have learned so far from experiences of watching others, surroundings, trials-and-errors, I am gonna conclude so far: passion can wait, but curiosities never!
Why?
It’s hard to alter the point of view that everyone said you have to live your passion. From the saying passion makes everything easier, joyful, or many those positive thoughts. But for me, my passion can wait and I keep convincing my self that I never threw that out of my life, even if I am not living on it now.
Passion is something you don’t need appointment to do. You don’t need certain circumstances to live it. Besides, curiosities can kill me for not finding the answer. Right here, right now, If I have to jump from the plane just to feel how is it feeling so thrilled, maybe I would do it without fear. Curiosities make me fearless, sometimes thoughtless.
I see people are living their passion, saying they are happy with it. But they sometimes stop before done with their business. Saying they have much more times than enough before deadline, and finally even if with their passion they still procrastinate.
People with curiosities never bothered to lose their time to sleep just to find the answer. It could take them to the edge of the world to find the best answer that fit their logic.
Curiosities never lost!
Ha-ha. Those were just some birthday preachers from this kiddo nut. No offense, no hard feeling. I am not trying to indoctrinate anyone or quip someone.
...
And some nice girls sent me this tasteful chocolate birthday cake!!!
Thank you guys for making me surprised by the delivery. Thank you for the loves, friendships, craziness, nags, and companions that make my college life much more easier and effortless from the joys and laughs. Thank you for accepting this egoist-kiddo nut to be one of worms in your heart. Love you so much to the moon and back, from now and then.
Hey you, my cortisols yet endorphines donor!! @auliahusna14 and @silvanaoktaviana :)
also for my lovely onnie for sending me such a sweet birthday greeting along with prayers. I am so moved and feeling blessed. Thank you for always being nice. I love you too so so so much :) @dencylist
And for all people who always treat me like precious, may god always watch and guard you on every path.

Lunch at Mary Anne
Been almost six months, another six months being a lucky worm in college. While everybody is enjoying their off days already, I still have to wait for another week and beat up the last examination series. But, life is fair I think, I got to have some days off to enjoy a leisure lunch with sister at “Mary Anne”
I tried to search for the exact altitude but seems like google maps hasn’t claimed it yet. But to find it, you just need to head up a bit from Graha Widyatama Unsoed’s Auditorium Purwokerto. And... ignore the address at the left box, it was just a thing I took from the google maps when typing “Mary Anne”.
Here’s some pictures I took just to invite your drools out, Ha-ha!
-Lime Squash: great taste of lime inside the sweet carbonated water. Carbonated: it’s smarting when touches your tongue, it’s relieving when you burp. So addicting!
-Carbonara: Kinda a bit disappointed with the carbonara. I don’t know if it wasn’t my taste or what, but for me it was too salty and the bread wasn’t crunchy as what I expected.
-Full companion: tasty foods, refreshing drinks, fussy sister, wonderful books, and sweets. Life is about talking or changing mind with your trusted one, gaining knowledge and experiencing imaginations through the books you read, refueling your energy with carbohydrates and fats, and recharging your serotonin with sweets.
-Good Time Ice Cream: chocolate is a cure and you don’t need an appointment. They are a good serotonin donor which would boost your joy by creating good memories inside your brain to increase motivation and mood.
If you love ice cream so much to the level you want to “ice-creamize” anything, they have like more than 50 tastes, all different.
We sat at the corner and it’s a cozy place to hang out with your friends or if you need a place to do your assignments since there’s a free WiFi access.

“Hang in There!”
I used to have a companion in my delusional point of view that no one would never be able to see. It’s not merely a fiction...
She is a girl with curly hairs tied behind her head. A girl who loves to tell me story that may be inside a lonely box at the corner of the street, if I am brave enough to open it, I would find a breathless woman laid suspiciously. But then it always ended we were the one who run breathlessly, away of that mystery box. She doesn’t have a name and I didn’t give her one either.
But lately she’s nowhere to be found. Usually she would appear and whisper that she had been hiding from my friends.
The last time we had an intimate conversation, she replied my long grouches with brimming eyes, “Hang in there... for a little bit more.”
Of all people in this world, she has been the only one wanted to believe me. Of all loneliness embracing spaces between nights and days, she has been the only one who fill my heart chambers. Of all the winning and losing I have gone through, she has been the one who congratulate and console me for the first time.
She is the first one knowing I am not comfortable in who am I now. That girl always asked if I am okay? If I need hug? She said everything is going to be fine. She said I am going to be okay.
“Hang in there, just for a little bit more.” That’s how she told me to endure every fall and rise of my days. I’ll just need to wake up and lead the day.

❤️ Papa ❤️
Dear papa,
if one day, time ticks back to the day when I had not been alive, would you still choose me as your daughter?
I am just curious, if you have ever regretted having me in your life.
Nothing more than a cliche gratitude along the way I could tell you of how much I am so thankful for being a part of your life. From the very beginning of my life and still counting for thousands more of life series...
I wish I am still able to grow a little taller, shoulders--a little wider. Someday, I want to stand in places you always guard me from hot and rains, in a place you always able to hide every horror side of this world and let me feel only the breeze that the storm left, yet never failed to edify and instill me with courage and sincerity.
Papa, I want to be the greatest gift for you that would take all the worries you have in both heart and mind.
Thank you for being my very lovable first love that would never ever ever break me, yet always mend my uneasy heart.
Thank you for meeting mommy and award me this nice ‘’daughter’’ status for the rest of my life.
Thank you for understanding my every inflexible way of behaving and communicating.
How much should I write my gratitude? How much kilobytes I would spend just for uploading all the nice things I have with you?
Thank you for being my full-time supporter ❤️
your daughter

My Dopamine’s Donor
youtube
Being so ‘roller-coastered’ by the ongoing neuroendocrine blok. From the hundreds pages of book, too much delayed lectures, to a damn-sudden test last Thursday really made my mood off. But those abstract-like reaction of mood-swing and those glum-look on almost my classmates have on their face are totally explainable. And... with the excuses to modulate those transmission of dismal feeling process toward my brain, I looked for my own neurotransmitter to manipulate my emotion.
Yohoo-- those dopamines of mine are inevitably cute and cool.
Like the dance version the best rather than those music video version with that degranulating b*tch releasing histamine.
You take me completely HIGHER!!
Happy weekend :)

Life’s Lesson 1
I thank god for giving me chances to see how many people struggle just for living today. How kids long for affections just as how their eyes shot a sign for me to grab their hands. They are kids who need to strive more, more than others.
Hundreds of kids are still fighting for their better lives. One who is so shy to join the others, one who was so brave asking me to shake her hand, one who seems so shy but cute in front of camera, one who likes to fool around, every one was just distinct in my sight. They are around 4 to 11 years old kids from down-and-out families.
Have you ever seen kids wandering around the streets? They beg for money, not only for them to buy candy, not only for them to go playing at internet cafe, they beg because if they don't, their mom wouldn't let them sleep inside their house. I witnessed it my self, in that area where the fathers were too busy with their bottles of alcohol and the mothers go out at night to seek clients, the kids have to compete one another to seek money from the streets. I have never believed before, but it's true, there are also some of kids born without knowing who is the father, because too many guys come to their mother every night.
I tried to compile my conversations with a little girl there...

Beggar [in dilemma]
youtube
How should we struggle upon this society’s disease? Who should take this blame? And why this problem never meets its end?
I was enjoying the night before my exam on the next day, with no other intention, with my half empty head, I sat on a mat, well--just call it a mat, a man around thirty offers me to rent his piece of cloth with something printed on it, like a banner ad. That’s just how people earn money these days, everything can do. He does a business with me over a used banner ad cost five thousands rupiah.
I don’t remember how long exactly I sat there just as how i don’t remember how many persons came either with clapping their hands and singing or just with hand opened shoving toward me.
First Judgment?
They are beggars, prone to be a thread and they have no shame for being one.
Beggar /ˈbeg.ə r / /-ɚ/ noun
1. A person, typically a homeless one, who lives by asking for money or food.
2. [with adjective] informal A person of a specified type, especially one to be envied or pitied.
Agreeing to what George Orwell wrote in his first book, Down and Out in Paris and London,
“A beggar, looked at realistically, is simply a businessman, getting his living, like other businessmen, in the way that comes to hand. He has not, more than most modern people, sold his honor, he has merely made the mistake of choosing a trade at which it is impossible to grow rich”
If only government could forget about their value, beggar could have been a profession, a progressive one to oblige them paying taxes.
Taking the perspective economically, they are doing very profitable business but little-or-much they cause loss in some way. Beggar is a passive commerce, in one side they get profit but reversely they can’t give anything back, except ensuring those noble act of compassion and generousness will get a payback from god.
If people think that maybe those people are only the victims of poverty, or some would harshly say they come from the incompetence of government, we can’t say it’s not right. They probably will use that excuse when you ask.
They are capable enough to receive the training base on their interest which actually alienate their reason for not giving contribution when in another place we can see how people selling newpapers, being a laborer, or just anything legal for supporting their family.
Despite the fact that beggar is illegal, harming society’s value, or damaging national’s economy in further, beggar problem is like prostitution. No matter how bad we want to settle this case, it’s also hard to answer where will we put those thousands of people. We can’t hide that indeed in another side government also feel burdened. How long will the government’s hand able to bear those people, protect them like how they protect others?
They are beggar, they say that’s the only way to live by funding to fulfill their needs.

This, Worth Your Time...
Bandung has always been another nice city to stay and long for. Because there won’t be any year without going there, at least once a year, well not really in Bandung, mommy’s mom is abiding in Cimahi, one of the most hectic sub-cities around Bandung.
If you happen to visit Bandung, get your mind and self together to stay away from malls and everything labeled shopping spot, save time to look on one of its peace-inspiring spot around Situ Lembang. You’ll need only an hour and thirteen minutes in traffic (well, if suddenly Bandung goes silent) from Trans Studio Bandung, approximately twenty-five kilometers drive.
Dusun Bambu.
Jl. Kolonel Masturi Km. 11
Situ Lembang, Bandung Barat, Jawa Barat
This would be an ideal place for those who want a release. Its leisurely scenery is soothing for eyes and soul.
Firstly, if you enter from the second and third parking lot you’ll need to ride a car they have provided freely to get onto the main spot. With the thrilling road, going on through hill and slope, this would get you that feel of nature with the signature cold of Lembang.
There are loads of interesting thing you can do in Dusun Bambu. If you adore photography, the up-down flower beds are really photogenic. Besides, the also offer us a cozy place to have family meals at the side of the small lake. If you only want to go snacking, they also have kind of food court called Pasar Khatulistiwa where we could get some light or heavy meals.
An interesting concept they have there is the money inside our purse would have no value. Why? Because no matter how much we have, we can’t use it before exchanging them into voucher. Quite a work to walk here and there to exchange our money every time we we want to buy something but it’s kind of cute to see everyone holding a big paper money
