HELLO, bored people how are you doing? When I wrote this blog, the virus case in Indonesia is breaking the record (again) to the 20K new cases a day! Isn't that crazy? So, please please please I beg you to stay at home if you have nothing important to do outside. If there's something that forces you to go out, don't forget to wear a mask (wearing two masks is better) and wash your hand. Go get your vaccine if you're eligible to get it. Lastly, let's hope this pandemic to be over soon!

Anyway, today- when I wrote this blog, is my last meeting this semester. Yes, it means that soon I will have my final exam (wish me luck). Although I'm going to have final exams very soon, I still want to do my wishlist first before study hard LOL. I scrolled through Shopee to find a book that I wanted to buy but I couldn't find it. At first, I thought my internet connection was bad but then I read that we are no longer able to buy overseas products in Shopee. Actually, this movement is good to encourage people to buy local products and minimize imports so the net exchange will not go to deficit number. But, to be honest, I quite sad because some of my wishlists are not available at some moments.
Sooo, I decided to look for the book that I wanted in Google Book just in case it is available in ebook. By the way, the book that I'm looking for is '모든 순간이 너였다', a book by Ha Taewoan. This book is actually available in the English version and it is available in Gramedia but I didn't want to go for it; just look for the Korean version. The good news is that the book is available in Google Books, but the quality... is kinda bad. It's so blurry and makes small Korean words unreadable. So, I decided to not go for it and wait for Shopee to open again.
Another good thing is that I found a page that hits me so hard. I'm not sure if I am allowed to put the image on this blog so I will put the words instead.
당신; 잘한 거예요. (You; did a great job)
그 선택에 후회하지 마세요. (Don't regret that choice)
그 순간에는 그 선택이 당신의 최선이자, (At that moment, that choice was your best effort)
최고의 선택이었을 테니까. (And your best choice.)
당신, 분명 잘한 거예요. (You obviously did a great job)
To be honest, I like the Indonesian translation even more because it stabs right in my heart. "Kamu, telah melakukan yang terbaik. Jangan sesali pilihan tersebut. Pada saat itu, pilihan tersebut adalah usaha terbaikmu dan pilihan terbaikmu. Kamu, jelas telah melakukan yang terbaik." Some of you might think what is so good of it, but for me, it is so meaningful.
When I was in junior high school, I have so many regrets that I hope I didn't do. But, I also did the same when I was in senior high school. I regretted my choice to choose a university and major because sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong way. I regretted my choice to enter an international class because I need extra effort to understand my course. I regretted my choice of being a BEM member because it makes me stressed. It feels like I did so many wrong choices that make me sink into a sea of regrets. Then these words above make me realize that at that time, the choices I made were my best choice. It also makes me think that there is no use in regretting things because they have happened. We can do nothing to change them, that is why I've made up my mind, not to fill my seconds with regret again. It reminds me of Jipyeong's letter to Dalmi anyway; to stop filling my days with regrets.
