Really Like You

This Valentine’s Day, my country is having a bit different way to celebrate it. We’re having a Presidential Election in this year’s Valentine’s Day. And of course, trying to use my voice as good as I can, I also join to vote at that day.

Since I’m using my Grandpa’s address as my address in my ID (I live with my Grandparents back then), I ended up have to vote on my Grandpa’s area. Luckily, this year, they asked my Grandpa to borrow his house’s yard as the location for the voting. So I just need to go to my Grandpa’s place~! Lucky!

Happy New Year 2023

Party Starter

COMIFURO DAY 2 START!!! \(OwO)/

To be honest, day 2 was so tiring for me and taking toll on my body—to the point I ended up sleeping like a log once I arrived at home. But since I already wrote & post the pics from day 1, so I guess, I better continue with the pics and story from day 2! (OwO)9 So here it goes!!!

So, day 2! New day! New display! \(OwO)/ This time, we decided to change the display a bit. And I got more place to display my goods! YAAAYYYY~~! You can see it by yourself compare to the previous day, my merch can be seen here and there. (>w<)9 YATTA!

And since I haven’t take pic with the booth the previous day, here it is~! Narcisstic time! Hehehe XD

Show Time

COMIFURO DAY 1 START!!! \(OwO)/

Me and my boothmates promised to meet around 7 o’clock at the event venue (it’s at ICE BSD). The staff (a the tech meeting) said that the loading dock (the exhibitor’s entrance) back gate of the hall where we’ll held the event will be open so we can put stuffs there first before park the car since it’s kind of far from the parking area to the loading dock. But when I arrived, apparently it was closed. And somehow, even though the event was open around 9.30, it was already crowded with the event guests. WOA!

After some chaos due to my boothmates unable to enter without park first and their stuffs was so heavy (I ended up helping bringing them while bringing my own stuffs and ended up having shoulder pain), we managed to enter the event area (after registration and taking our name tags). It takes few times back and forth taking stuffs from car to the booth table area. It really is tiring. I feel like having a morning exercise before event. (_ _|||)

Be Prepared

Finally tomorrow is COMIFURO!!! It’s H-1 and I haven’t prepared stuffs since I’ve been in Bandung lately. I just been able to go back to Jakarta today to check and pack the merch stuffs. So I was greeted by packs of merchandises cardboard from the vendor. XD

ALRIGHT! Time to pack all the stuffs and get ready for the event tomorrow! (OwO)9

Happy New Year

Rythm Of The Night

So! Finally the event is a wrap! And Comivuro #1 is officially closed. \(OwO)/

It was fun, trying new experiences, since online event was totally different than the offline event. I was kind of tired due to have to keep on checking the [Want To Buy] section on the Discord to find the prospective buyer and notice them regarding my shop. XD It was fun but totally tiring. Thankfully, even though just a few number, I got customers. (OwO)v Ehehehe

One Step Forward

So— After a long discussion one day with Fuu, in one way and another, he ended up encouraging me to start my own ‘merch store’. Well he’s not the only one encouraging me (Ryu as always always supporting me in this, and another friend of mine, Rush also supporting me on this one), but I can say that the discussion back then gives me the urge to re-start my business.

I started merch store once back then during my undergraduate days. But I had to stopped due to condition. So I’m not sure if I can do it again (and to be honest, I don’t have the best self esteem currently). But seeing there’s going to be a local merch event online, I decided to take the leap of faith.

Gone Too Soon

July just started and I feel like my spirit and will to continue going on left me… In this two days (2nd and 3rd), I already got two obituaries. And one of it was someone I know well.

The first one was Ryu’s friend, Riphqy. Ryu often play D&D with him back then when he’s still working in Jakarta. I also once chatted with him when me and Ryu just started our relationship. He was a friendly and nice person. I mean—he didn’t judge me or anything, and accept me and in a way cheer me and Ryu’s relationship (which means a lot for me).

The second one was my highschool friend, Wilis. We’re on the same grade and during our freshmen year, we attend school organization event together. She was a bright and full of spirit. One of the toughest girl I ever know. Like, you cannot not know her if you’re in my year, since she’s so friendly and will greet anyone. If I can exaggerated it, I’ll say she’s Wonder Woman in the flesh.

See You Again

This week has been a big blow to me… Even now I still can’t believe it.. Everything feels so surreal… To the point if this is a nightmare, I want to wake up as fast as I can…

So… I got a news that a dear friend of mine during my undergraduate days died few days ago. He was one of my closest friend back then. Also one of the memorable Dungeon Master and the one who make me interested on delving into fantasy stuffs. He told me many things back then, and we went through many adventures of pen & paper together. With the age of 1 year older than me, I still can’t believe he’s gone now.
