Brigita's Here!

Photo credits to WESTEND61 Everything in this world is dynamic and relative. By every second, many people die and having birth. By every minute, there is something new and others are leaving. So does family structure. In a fact, nowadays, people are re-structed family tree composition and its 'job description'. Obviously, this one brings something new. Based on my perspective, they are two of them. First thing first is now people may see a various structure of family which makes our world more diverse. For example, it is common for some people to see two mothers at home, or two guys living and happily married without having any child. Personally, it makes this world unique and interesting. Moreover, since to be in love with someone is a right, I think we can not blame it. Even though in the other way, many people may see it as a mistake. Second one, this new structure is related to one of the real tolerances in society. Because of the changes, many people's mindset about re...

Aerial view showing urbanization on Luzon island, Philippines. (Photo: CherylRamalho / Shutterstock) Everyone is on the same boat, old narrative said. However, it is wiser if we may say that, we are on the same ocean, with our own vehicle. Some with the ship, another one with the wooden boat, or others with yacht. This sentence would reflect the reality of people who lives in large cities and other people who choose to live in small, or suburban, or even rural areas. Moreover, some people stated that people who living in huge cities having many problems than others. I would present, perhaps it is correct, based on some perspectives.  Firstly, have a life in large cities, people are facing human from various background. For example in Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia. When I was there for 2 months, I have found a lot of partners from all around this country. One side that is very nice because my relation getting broader. However, on the hand, it may be stressful because I have...

One of them is about improving better environment. Every human that is live with, has their contribution reaching better environment. However, some people say only governments and huge companies are able making differences. Personally, I have different perspective. Everyone can do something to improve the environment. I could not agree more, based on some reasons. Firstly, governments and companies are basically consist of individuals. Particularly for governments, they just have a privillage to lead the nation, creating public policies, and making agreements. This is what I see in my country, Indonesia. As a democratic place, we believe that the society has the greatest power. From people, to people, by people. That is our slogan. Moreover, in our country system, the government is chosen by the so...

Who run the world? GIRLS!  Picture credit to pillowtalkmedia.com Berbicara tentang perempuan, di masa, di situasi apapun tidak akan pernah ada kata usai. Perempuan, Puan, Wanita, apapun sebutannya selalu menjadi garda depan di segala situasi. Terutama pada situasi-situasti menegangkan. Sebuah artikel yang ditulis oleh Jack Zenger dan Joseph Folkman [1] , memaparkan sebuah hasil penelitian yang hasilnya menunjukan bahwa, women are better leaders during a crisis . Bahkan lebih lanjut, keduanya mengungkapkan hasil penelitian kepemimpinan perempuan di era COVID-1; yang rasanya sudah banyak tersebar di media sosial. Dipaparkan, studi menunjukkan angka kasus dan kematian COVID-19 di beberapa wilayah, secara sistematis jauh lebih terkontrol pada negara yang dipimpin oleh perempuan. Mereka juga melihat, dalam pemerintahan di U.S, negara bagian dengan pemimpin perempuan, memiliki angka kematian lebih rendah. Secara global, ternyata hasil yang sama pun muncul. Perempuan memegang kendali leb...

 "Kejarlah cita-cita setinggi langit. Karena, jikalau jatuh, kamu akan jatuh di antara bintang-bintang"  Sebuah pepatah klise. Sering terdengar di mana-mana. Bahkan sejak masih duduk di bangku Sekolah Dasar, sudah jamak bagi saya untuk mendengarnya. Dulu, ketika masih tren menulis biodata di kertas binder lalu saling bertukar; kalimat ini adalah yang paling sering saya tulis di bagian kamut. Alias kata mutiara.  Cheesy juga ya. Kamut. Belum lagi makes, mikes, akes, kakes ( who can relate these two lol? ), cheesy juga. Tapi seru juga kalau diingat-ingat lagi. Saya suka dengan kalimat itu. Sampai sekarang sepertinya alam bawah sadar saya merekamnya dengan baik. Sampai tanpa sadar saya berada dalam posisi, berobsesi mewujudkannya. Menggapai impian, cita-cita, setinggi langit.  Orang-orang terdekat saya tahu apa itu. Dan kini, saya sedang berada di fase merasa sulit untuk menggapainya. Banyak faktor. Beberapa diantaranya, kemalasan, keengganan, banyak distraksi. AAARGH...

Berbicara zat besi ( iron ) rasanya sudah tidak asing lagi bagi kita. Kendati cukup familiar, bukan berarti sudah dianggap sebegitu pentingnya. Padahal si kecil tak kasat mata, zat besi, merupakan suatu elemen penting bagi tubuh, terutama bagi si kecil yang sedang dikandung para ibu. Zat besi merupakan komponen utama dalam pembentukan hemoglobin. Zat besi juga berperan dalam proses metabolisme, pertumbuhan, dan perkembangan sel-sel tubuh, hingga pembentukan hormon dan jaringan ikat. Kekurangan zat besi menyebabkan terhambatnya pertumbuhan dan perkembangan suatu generasi. Bila suatu generasi terhambat tumbuh kembangnya, sudah pasti yang akan dituai ke depan adalah masalah dan masalah. Salah satunya, stunting . Dr. dr. Diana Sunardi, M.GZi., SpGK., narasumber dalam webinar spesial Hari Gizi Nasional 2021 yang diselenggarakan oleh Danone Indonesia dengan tegas menyatakan hal tersebut. “Masalah kurang zat besi yang marak saat ini kaitannya erat dengan anemia. Lebih tepatnya banyak...

Nothing better than you Kalau ini adalah sejenis appreciation post yang kata orang-orang, ya begini lah adanya. Entah kenapa pagi ini terbangun lalu ingin menuliskan ini.  Sudah dua tahun belakangan ini saya mengenalnya. Saya bahkan masih ingat pertemuan pertama yang pada akhirnya membuat saya dan dia bersama sampai saat ini. Lucu dan sangat berkesan. Namun yang pasti pertemuan pertama kami bukan lah hal yang membuat saya jatuh hati padanya. Kalau dia sepertinya, ya, jatuh hati sejak detik pertama mata kami bertemu. HAHA. Sejujurnya dia adalah tipe lelaki di luar radarku, juga bukan tipeku. Sebelum mengenalnya, ku punya beberapa kriteria di kepala terkait lelaki yang akan kukencani atau bahkan menjadi teman-musuh hidup selamanya. Saya punya beberapa kriteria, dan waktu itu dia hanya masuk salah satu kriteriaku: lelaki berkulit gelap!  Jalinan hubungan kami jalannya begitu saja. Bahkan tanpa ada ungkapan "mau jadi kekasihku atau tidak?". Mengalir saja. Padahal, saya adalah ba...

When I was young. I thought when someone reach their 27, they were old and mature enough. Not only physically but also mentally and yaa.. obviously financially.  At that time I imagined. If... "I reach that number I must be on stable situation". LOL. Then today I am 27 years old. Nggg.. Guess what!? Ya! I am not that old, mature, and stable like what I imagined years ago. I have to admit it.  I still need to manage my life: my career, my next journey, my love life, my family stability, and so on and so on. I realize I didn't make my imagination come true.  Fortunately, I never feel sorry 'bout that. I have found that, everybody has their own path, so am I. I've got my 'old, mature, and stable' condition. I have good work, I have a complete and health family, good friends and partner who loving me so much, and I have 'an enuff life'.  Thank God for it. Especially for today, I have one of best birthdays in my life. Just a casual birthday with family,...
