Dreams (and Disasters)

Minggu, 28 April 2013

 People have their own dreams and passions, and so do I. There are so many things that I like to do and things that I wish I could be. I love sciences. Yes, you might think that I am a nerd. But see, I'm just trying to be true to myself. People (including me) might consider fashion designer, fashion stylist, or photographer is a cool job. But I think choosing your job later is not about whether you think it is cool or not, it is about whether you love it or not.
   
I love biology. People might think it is hard and boring, that we have to memorize everything.I agree. It is hard to get good scores in biology. But for me, biology is not about memorizing things or getting good scores. When I learn it, I learn about myself. About us, as human. I learn how the system in our body works in an amazing way. The coordination that balances everything, simply, biology should have made us believe in our God more. I've always wanted to be a doctor. At first, I thought it was just a childhood dream that would change as the time goes on. But I found out that it's still the same until now. I want to cure diseases and learn more about our own body. I want to help people who suffer from diseases and educate people about health. I also want to be an environmental scientist and find a way to make this environment better in the future. I'm also curious about biotechnology and bio engineering, learning about DNA and all tiny things even smaller than a cell.

But science is not my only love. Eventhough I hate P.E., it does not mean that I hate all kind of sports. I
love badminton, soccer, and swimming. I still dream about being a professional badminton player for Indonesia sometimes. I also love watching soccer games. Two clubs that I love beside our beloved Indonesian National Team are Manchester City and Chelsea. Never ask me why I love them, really, I don't know ! And about swimming, I just feel so comfortable and alive in water. I remember the first time I tried to learn to swim by myself. After two or three trials, then I just float, and it just felt so great. Unfortunately, I don't have much time to swim these days.

I'm also interested in fashion. I love to see beautiful gowns and dresses eventhough I know I would never ever wear them. I love to see models walking on the runway, and read their or the designer's story. Sometimes I try to draw clothes and imagine what it would be like to have a fashion brand under my name.
I also love photography and graphic design. I can't say that I'm good at them, but I just love it. I don't even have a camera on my own, but I love borrowing my uncle's SLR sometimes and take some pictures of flowers, plants, nature, cities, and people (especially my cousins, haha!). My love for graphic design grew when I join graphic design art class in my high school. It's really fun. And I always feel happy when I see people using things with my design.

What about music ? Well, I can't play any musical instruments. I don't understand musical notes. But I remember when I was in elementary school I loved mixing some melodies and sounds using my handphone to be some songs. I had made around twenty. And believe it or not, my family thought it was nice. My cousin even save some of them in her handphone for ringtones. And my favorite musician is Adam Young, the former of Owl City and Sky Sailing. I really adore him for his unique music and funny lyrics (which actually hide many messages inside). This post is also titled after one of his songs. Eventhough I never watch his concert or has one of his merchandise, I could proudly say, " I'm his BIG FAN!".

And last, but of course not least, I really really love writing. I'm not really good at speaking, and I think I could explain things and express my feelings much better by writing. I really wish I could have some time to write some short stories or even a novel of my own. And that's why I made this blog anyway.
Those are my dreams. What about the disasters ? Well, I think I'm going to post something about that later. See you soon!

I was reading Alanda Kariza's and Diana Rikasari's blog, and I had to admit that I was envy. Why ? For me, it's not about how many people read their blogs or follow them. It's simply because of the things that they posted there. I found many life lessons and inspiring things there. And really, inspiring and motivating other people to be better is my life goal. The feeling when I heard somebody said that she was motivated by me was really amazing, and I guess, inspiring and motivating other people to do good things is a good deed. I really hope I could write more inspiring things here. I know I don't have much time to write things in my blog. I even had tons of works to do on holiday, but I know I could inspire people around me first, maybe my roommates or my classmates by doing good things. It'sa double good-deed, by the way 😄😄😄
