BTS

Today is public holiday in Indonesia (and most of country in the world) to celebrate eid-adha. But this year is a little bit different because of Corona is still lingering around us, we have options to pray at mosque with social distancing and wearing mask or pray at home. I chose the latter one meanwhile mom and my brother went this morning to the mosque near my home. I did not sacrifice a cow/goat this year, not because I do not have money but since became a vegetarian, I am still learning of how adjusting it to my religion for eid-adha. Anyone could recommend me a paper or a person to discuss in-depth about this?

Anyway.. the number of people get infected in Indonesia keeps increasing day by day. Me personally do not believe and grow insecurity to go outside. I miss hug and socialize with friends and stranger but to do that kind of things now is difficult. I should have done that more in the past... especially going out to the bar, party, etc. We could not do that anymore, there are some extends we have to have in place to make sure our health is the utmost priority. Well, that's for me, I dont know if other people will do the same.

To kill time spending at home and boredom, I hooked into some K-Pop stuffs thanks to my best friend. The boyband name is BTS, they are quite phenomenal. Today is my second month became an ARMY, like everyday I could spend around 8 hours to dig dive about them. And at this point I think I can stop researching haha now I have to focus for the month-end closing. So many works to do.

Good thing is BTS shared a lot of positive attitudes and quotes. They pictured hard-working and talent can lead someone live to. after watched their documentary, now I open my laptop and starting to reply the email... that I hold since last week.

You know, working from home has some disadvantages, one of them is depression because of 24/7 working hours you might have if you could not control yourself.

Ok I have to stop. Bye

Corona Virus

Hello. I am writing to my future self just in case me and my family survive from this virus outbreak. Never in million years that I imagine myself in historical pandemic situation which impacted worldwide, economically and physically. It's not only happened in one country, but spread so vastly to one country and another, so as per today, 1,3Mio people confirmed positive having the virus, 74K people dead meanwhile only 284K people recovered. In Indonesia, the government just take this issue seriously starting on beginning of Mar, which was too late considering that Wuhan, China-- where this virus coming from already stated the outbreak from the beginning of January. No one take this seriously until people see how fast the virus moving due to globalization, where people will easily move to one country and another, reflecting how mobile people nowadays.

My sister just got married last December. She married her senior doctor in the hospital she were working at. I have close family which struggling to cure everyone who have any COVID-19 symptoms in suburb sumatera area. Which are very concerning since Indonesia's government is really slow taking actions, death toll are rising everyday yet not transparent number informed to the citizen. They smoothing the number so it looks like they taking care the situation under control, but nope. We notice and know something is fishy.

So that's why, everyone is staying at home as much as they can. I have been working from home for almost 4 weeks. Thank god that my company understand enough the situation and prevent any risk as much as they could. We were encouraged to work from home and avoid any social interactions from people outside to reduce virus spread and possibility of you being a carrier. We will stand this together until we find the vaccine-- or the cure.

But now, economics is in the bear. Red is the color for every market. Currency spikes everyday, dollar could eat you alive. It's scary.

I just really hope this could be ended soon. I cannot stand to stay inside for any longer... really missing travelling and socializing very much.

So take care and hope the best for the outcome.
