This time, me and my husband decided to spend long weekend holiday with our family. We went to Bogor, and specifically choose this hotel because it has tennis court.
At first, I thought it’s a random option yet now I’m grateful with that choice. We did not waste time on the road and able to enjoy hotel facility more
There's always a first time for everything. And for me, it’s tennis sparring!
Pada post sebelumnya, aku menyebutkan kalau lately lagi into tennis. Bisa kubilang menemukan beberapa teman sefrekuensi dan tergabung dalam 1 komunitas tennis. Long story short, club kami setuju untuk melakukan sparring dengan komunitas tennis lain
We lost, terbantai jelas. Mental kami ternyata belum terbiasa. No, to be specific, mentalku. A little tense triggered by the need to do something that is completely out of my comfort zone. Deg-degan sepanjang permainan, sampai tanganku malah gemetar saat memegang raket. Nggak usah ditanya, permainanku kacau mentok.
Tapi, jujur lewat momen sparring ini aku belajar beberapa hal. Nggak menyerap semua kata orang yang berusaha menjatuhkan. Keep calm & do your best. Jadi, walau harus kalah, at least you already done your very best.
Hal lainnya yang berlanjut hingga sekarang, kebersamaan. Aku menemukan teman-teman sefrekuensi yang masih mau saling menyemangati satu sama lain. Bahkan, masih sering mengajak bermain supaya improve bersama
Well, I guess, best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier

In my previous post, i mentioned that lately I’m into tennis. I might say that I found friends who have the same hobby and we finally joined into tennis community together. Long story short, we agreed to do sparring with another tennis community
We’re obviously lost and slaughtered. Our mentality was apparently not used to it. No, to be specific, my mentality. A little tense triggered by the need to do something that is completely out of my comfort zone. I was SO nervous throughout the game, until my hands were shaking while holding the racket. No need to ask, my game is messed up
To be honest, through this sparring moment, I learn couple of things. Do not absorb all the words from people who try to bring you down. Keep calm & do your best. So, even if you’ve lost the competition, at least you have done your very best.
Another thing, togetherness. I found friends on the same frequency who are still willing to encourage each other. In fact, they often ask us to play to improve together. Well, I guess, best friends make the good times better and the hard times easier
Judul yang berat nggak sih? Well, aku baca artikel dari google dan nemuin kalo ada istilah bernama “Over Thirty-Something Syndrome”. Jadi disebutkan kalau kamu berusia lebih dari 30 tahun dan punya perasaan terpressure + rasa ingin cepat-cepat. Cepat membina keluarga atau ngerasa kalo selama ini kamu uda nyia-nyiain waktu dimana kayaknya kamu ngeliat orang lain pada sukses.
Nah… aku nggak berasa kepressure sih cuma malah pengen hidupnya lebih chill. Dan jadi makin sering membiasakan diri sendiri buat makin rutin olahraga. Kalo kalian follow instagramku, kalian pasti tau aku lagi into banget sama pilates & tennis ( + muaythai sesekali )
Hmmm… tapi ada pemikiran ini nih setelah nonton podcast Deddy Corbuzier. Jadi katanya, orang yang berusia lanjut itu punya potensi meninggal lebih cepet setelah jatuh KALO mereka jarang olahraga. Bukannya aku takut matinya sih, tapi jujur ada ketakutan jadi nggak berdaya di usia lanjut. Sakit & malah nyusahin orang. Ada yang pernah ngerasain ini juga nggak sih? Atau ini cuma overthink?

A heavy title, don’t you think? Well, I read an article on google and found out there’s a thing called “Over Thirty-Something Syndrome”. You’re over thirty and feeling pressure to “hurry up” and start a family and you find yourself wasting time wondering why life seems to happen to everyone else
I don’t feel any pressure. In fact, I’d like to laid back more and more. And tried my best to bind myself into workout routine. If you follow my instagram, you’ll know I’m into pilates & tennis (+muaythai sometimes)
Hmmmm…. but there’s this thought running on my head, after watched Deddy Corbuzier podcast about aging. People in their 50+ have a higher chance to die fast after they fall IF they don’t exercise. To be honest, I am not afraid of death. People will die tho, yet living as elderly in sickness, that’s what scare me. Have you ever felt this way guys? Or is it just another overthink?
