Weekend’s Treat

Since it’s weekend, I’d love to roam across the internet, doing nothing, looping songs in Spotify playlist, repeatedly watching the same YouTube videos, and ease up any tension I had before. I think everybody does that once in a while. So here’s to another weekend, another random round up made for you.

These days, your favorite rock bands seem to find ‘new sound’ and evolve with this whole new generation. Paramore goes electronic and Linkin Park goes pop (Chester Bennington, may your soul rests in peace), bBut Blink-182 only finds their new sound by going back to their roots. The deluxe version of California consists the original 19 tracks + 11 new songs, and 1 acoustic version of their released song, Bored to Death. A generous treat for people who still prefer listening to rock instead of hip-hop and electronic music.

​I Want to Wake Up All Night and All Day, Not Caring for Any of You

Lately, I cannot relate to any of you.
I don’t understand the language.
I don’t agree with the thoughts.
I don’t know that kind of feeling.
I don’t find it attractive.
I don’t want to know all the extra details.
I don’t want to be asked.
I don’t want to tell you stories.
I want to be invisible (but sadly cannot).
Maybe I’ll build a wall and dig gutters (so you will not see any of me).
The truth is, I’m afraid not to be like you,
where I’m supposed not to.

But for now, let’s build a wall, dig gutters, and be invisible.

Starting July

Since today marks the first day of the official working day for most of Indonesian people, I think I will start the month of July with the intention of writing a lot of posts here.

Last Ramadhan is a busy month for Kawung Living, we racked up a lot of orders due to the promotion here and there (terpujilah mba-mba LINE Shopping & Dekoruma). The new product addition of Eid Hampers made more purchases than we thought it would be (which made my thoughts fly off to Christmas Hampers earlier than it should be :P). We sent a lot of bulk offers and deals to clients, waiting to (hopefully) be finalized on early month. We agreed to take 2 weeks off any business related and focused on ourselves and our families.

Since my family didn’t plan to go anywhere this Eid, I decided to scan my sketchbook and digitizing my handwritings. I didn’t socialize that much this Eid, I barely went outside my room. I spent the entire week so focused on the task and hungry for more. I love how the learning curve of each projects that I’ve done this past year. I have many solutions for each problem, get craftier on shortcuts, and thankfully get things done much faster.

And if you notice, I add another banner on the sidebar titled SHOP @ uncletivo. You can now buy items I made on my spare time while not working on Kawung Living. I draw a little bit of line when making Kawung Living’s products and sure there is a limitation when it comes to the line of products that I can make.
