Diary of a Thesis - Day 253

I just decided to write my journey after 252 days of quirky contemplation. Quirky here means I finally got approval from Ethics Committee after three months of my author's thinking, revising, waiting, bewildering, negotiating, and loving myself to grow without hurting anyone. Quirky here means I finally collected all the data after three months of my author's works: traveled Bandung-Tanjungsari on weekdays, spent time with her daughters during the nights and weekends, and did the sometimes-frustrating trials and errors. Quirky here means I was becoming one of the tiring processes in my author's life, but in the same time, both of us gain many wonderful experiences. 

It's been 30 days (approximately) since my author started to change me from memories into scientific words. Until now I've got my initial intro, method, results, and discussion parts which still require more development. I want to help my author, but I don't know how. I just try to be more attractive when she stay around, although I realize her daughters are more attractive than me. I try to be more read-able, although her fave movies are more watch-able than me. But those issues won't stop me to try, because I know, she knows, the ultimate purpose of creating me into a complete thesis is not only to be responsible to Indonesian people who fund my author's life when she's with me, but also to be able to create happiness in every place she visit, in every time she spend, and in every surface she touch.

I was worried that today was a not-so-productive day. She only modified the presentation of my figures and revised a paragraph of my method section. Maybe it's because today is still holiday, and our supervisor voices who said "... take a few days off," is going in our head. While I was floating in a dream boat inside her laptop, she spending her time with the family: cuddling, sleeping, eating, watching TV and watching the kids dancing, sometimes feeling angry when she try to focus more on me than her family but they keep staying around. After all, I think it WAS a productive day for my author, because time is not a waste when you spend it with people you love most.

Download Komik

Saya pengunjung setia onemanga , tetapi saat ada kabar kalo web itu akan segera RIP karena ga boleh nampilin komik gratis. Saya segera kebingungan dan konsultasi ke Mbah Google . Saya mendapatkan web manga gratisan yang bisa mendownload lebih praktis, karena sekali download untuk 1 volume. Saya mewakili pecinta One Piece yang lain sangat berterima kasih. Saya bukannya mendukung gratisan, karena saat saya punya dokunya juga saya koleksi tuh komiknya. Tapi kalo kepepet dan penasaran saya ga bisa dibendung lagi, apamau dikata.. :-) Website yang baik hati ini yaitu Manga Traders . Tapi sebelumnya kita harus mendaftar dulu dengan klik disini . Hidup Komik dan Manga!!!

Dan Ku Bisa dengan Radarku Menemukanmu, LPDP

Sudah saya bilang sebelumnya kalau Pembibitan itu bukan awal dari perjalanan saya tapi ia adalah awal dari ketetapan hati saya untuk melanjutkan kuliah ke luar negeri. Sebelumnya saya sudah memastikan bahwa saya akan bersekolah di dalam negeri saja, mengingat kondisi saya yang sudah “turun mesin”. Padahal sebelumnya lagi, sejak kecil saya menggebu-gebu ingin sekolah ke luar negeri, sampai saya mengoleksi lirik lagu bahasa Inggris (catat, bukan kaset atau CD-nya, melainkan catatan liriknya, haha), beraniin diri datang ke pameran sekolah Kanada di hotel bintang lima yang notabene di tahun itu masih langka dan yang hadirnya itu orang kaya semua, ikutan kursus bahasa Inggris yang murah bareng temen se-geng, nangis-nangis pengen kursus bahasa Inggris yang bonafid dan mahal tapi nggak diizinin Ibu Suri (tapi Alhamdulillah akhirnya dapat kesempatan ikut Pembibitan) dan sampai di awal kuliah: majang foto gedung departemen psikologi-nya Stanford University di wallpaper netbook (meski sampa

My Second Scientific Performance: 8th World Congress of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies 2016

Sejak awal kuliah master di pertengahan 2014 lalu, saya udah mulai hunting conferences yang kira-kira bisa saya coba untuk daftar. Perburuan tersebut terus berlangsung sampai 2015. Salah satu ketentuan pembiayaan LPDP adalah at cost tapi tidak lebih dari Rp 15.000.000,- Saya berburu lebih kencang lagi karena kalau Eropa, US, dan negara lainnya, 15juta mungkin hanya cukup untuk tiket pesawat saja. Salah satu alternatif lokasi paling realistis adalah Australia, negara terdekat dari New Zealand. Mulailah saya fokus mencari events di negeri kangguru itu, dan menemukan informasi the 8th World Congress of Behavioural and Cognitive Therapies (WCBCT) yang akan diadakan di Melbourne. Event lain yang saya pertimbangkan adalah The 23rd Congress of the International Association for Cross-Cultural Psychology di Nagoya, Jepang. Tapi kongres tersebut akan dilaksanakan di tanggal yang melewati masa kontrak beasiswa saya dengan LPDP. Maka fokuslah saya terhadap WCBCT dan berdoa sekuat tenaga semoga All
