Background Story:
I met my inspiring bloggers who are also my best friends last week (Dyah and Fajar) after we had arranged the meeting appointment more than a year ago. We changed so much. I was the one who wanted to initiate this meeting in 2013 for helping me with my Blogspot which I am not familiar with. Then, because we are too busy, this idea just flew away.
So that, the last week meeting mostly talked about how we have changed so far, and how hard the real life is. But there is one thing that makes me overthought, they complained that I did not put any personal thingy on my Blogspot.
Then, I said that I wanted to make #30-Day Blog Challenges (they doubt that I can finish it, so do I. LOL :v) I hope Allah helps me to make it finished.
I started to write Day #1 Challenge yesterday and put it on my protected blog since I do not like share any personal thing on public. As Dyah complained of not being able to read it, I decided to move and edit the content to this public blog after so many considerations. One of them is to make it as my self-reminder to finish all-day challenges.
------
This is my Day #1 Blog Challenge. After I had been challenged to describe 20 Facts about Me a long time ago, I decided to take this opportunity to differentiate between O (Opinions) and F (Facts).
1. O: I am a conservative that tends to be a radical Muslimah. | F: I am a moderate Muslimah, neither radical nor liberal.
2. O: I am affiliated to any political party. | F: I am an independent person and I do not join any political party. I just sometimes get some accurate and reliable analyses from some Indonesian politicians whom I teach English.
3. O: I am a smart person. | F: I am just a lucky girl at many things given by God. I got the first rank at schools by God's chance. I also did not get the highest score at university. I became the best student, not because of me but it's only because of God's blessing.
4. O: I am insensitive. | F: It could be a fact. I am trained to be logical and rational on many things that make me difficult to understand other's feeling, even my own feeling. However, I'm always feeling guilty of many things happened.
5. O: I am a fierce and arrogant person. | F: For strangers, it must be fact. I take it as my self defense. I got many false and wrong people when I became too friendly. After that, I do not like to be so friendly, just to filter my real and close friends. Most of my best friends did not like me at first before I really opened myself.
6. O: I am a career woman. | F: I am not committed to any full-time job or prospective career because I don't want to be a career woman. What I really want to be is being a full-time Mother to invest my time and take care of my children and my priceless family in the future.
7. O: I am strong, never expressing sad and empathy feeling at many times. | F: I am so fragile and I have a high level insecurity on many things. I never want to cry in front of people, but I always sob when no people is around.
8. O: I am not a punctual person. | F: It was true when I was a student, even I was late on my final thesis defense day. Since I become a teacher and a lecturer, I get used to be an earlier person. I don't like to make my students wait for me although they always give a protest because I always come earlier even 1 hour earlier that they are supposed to use the times to play around.
9. O: I am a strict teacher. | F: For my adult and university students, it is a fact. It never happens to my toddlers and kids student. I can never be strict to them since they are always cute. Even, I am always their victim. At many times, with their tricky and imaginative mind, they always 'play' me, but I enjoy playing and entering their world. Hahaha...
10. O: I am a Master student. | F: In 2013, I decided to not take my master because of the family allowance disagreement. I could not leave my mom alone. Currently, when I'm confused of my life, I had a wish again to take it. However, on my last contemplation, I didn't want it anymore because I even would not know what I will do after that. But if anyone of you knows that there is Parenting major, let me know :v
11. O: I am too careless. | F: It could be true. At many times I always try not to care many things, but my best best friends and my kids students ask me to decrease my overcaring and overprotecting to them.
12. O: I have already had so much money that I become an investor. | F: If you understand what investing is and how to invest, you will understand that you just need to start investing without much money. You just need a will and a patience to not spoil your lifestyle.
13. O: I am materialistic. | F: I can't differentiate between being a realistic and a materialistic. What I know is that money sometimes can buy happiness. I need it for making my mom and others happier. I need it to invest on many things that I can enjoy someday.
14. O: I am too independent. | F: I have a trust issue, I cannot trust anyone easily. That's why I always rely on myself to do many things. However, once I give my trust like I give it to my closest friends, they will start thinking I am too needy while my mom said that I am too spoiled.
15. O: I am a player that I have so many boyfriends. | F: Let me laugh first, LOL :v I have so many boy friends, not boyfriends. I was born as the first granddaughter in my big family. I spent all my kids life with my cousins whom are boys. I get easily comfortable interacting with boys than girls. Even almost all of my best and closest friends now are boys, and I make very good relationships with their girlfriends. The truth is that I have been single unavailable since 5 years ago, and I am so difficult and reluctant to start any relationship -____- *brb listening to The Man Who Can't Be Moved by The Script*
16. O: I am so mature | F: Not at all, all my best friends say that I am too childish.
17. O: I am a stalker. | F: Nope, I am an investigator :D - As I am always curious at many things and many people, I always conduct some research thouroughly and wholeheartedly.
18. O: I am too serious. | F: For many important things, I always take them seriously. Also in some occasions, I look so serious and calm. If you find me like that, it means that I am not comfortable. Once I get comfortable, I will start making many jokes and do many silly things.
19. O: I am too picky that makes me single all the times. | F: It's definitely true. I just need to make sure that I give all of my heart to the one who deserves for it. I'm not looking for the perfect person (nobody's perfect), but I am preparing myself to be a perfect and proud life partner. I am also just looking for the person who makes me sure that I am his only one.
20. O: It seems that I am not having a quarter-life crisis. | F: *sigh* I have been suffering from this quarter-life crisis since the first month of 2013. I'll share how I face this crisis on my Day #2 Blog Challenge.
I'm seriously happy knowing that this challenge has reached its 20th fact since I'm not easy to confess and clarify many things as I remember the anonymous quote "Never explain yourself. You friends do not need it. Your enemies won't believe it."
