Today’s my birthday, and I realized that the date is special, Happy birthday to me, YEY 11-01-11
Birthday

Looking back again, it’s already 24 years I live into this world, and I’m really glad that I could still live until this day. And, since it’s still on new year (only 10 days since the new year), I’ll be giving my opinions about year 2010

2010, indeed, was a great year for me. Although Indonesia itself is having some disasters (such as Merapi eruption, and other disasters as well, but I’m unaffected cause I live far away from those disasters). As for me, 2010 have some events that gave me impact to my life, and giving me new experiences, such as meeting new friends, knowing new things.
Hereby, I am listing the events that happened in 2010 :

- Getting new job which suited me more than my previous job
On around 1st Quarter 2010, I got fired at my job as an application consultant. The reason I got fired is because maybe I’m not willing to go to the clients and only want to stay inside the office. Yes, at that time, my shut-in preference has still not cured (well, being a NEET for 6 months really give me some impact to my life). And I got unemployed again for about 1-2 months, and finally got a new job in a Bank as an Assistant Account Officer. The job is quite simple, like doing interview with a prospecting debtor, making credit proposals to be circulated around the credit committee, etc. It’s a job with mostly paperwork, but you also got to meet the prospecting debtor, which means going out from the office to the prospecting’s office/ workplace.
Being a former shut-in, at first, I’m thinking that I’m not really suitable for jobs that require me to be meeting some people that I don’t know, and going in an out to some places, but as I progresses, I think that a job like this is not quite bad, seeing it also give me some courage in meeting and talking with people.
Actually, the old me is having some difficulties in talking with new people, cause all I did before is just participating in forum, chatting, so mostly it’s just concentrated on the net. Getting a job like this, is making me grow more and more.

- Going to anime events
I was a loner. Only having some friends from the university having the same hobby, and share it all between them, and shutting myself in. Apparently, I’m somewhat bored of what it’s like until then I decided to accompany my friend going to anime events such as AFA X (In Singapore) and some local anime events here too, and I don’t regret it at all. I got to meet new friends, experiencing what it’s like to be meeting with my idols right in front of my eyes (It’s really different than watching TV, of course). And the most important thing is I realized that I should be proud with my life. Before, I was considering of what my image will be in public if they knew that I am an otaku.
Will I be discriminated only because I like anime and manga? Will I be considered as childish only because I like anime and stuffs? Questions like this popped up easily, all because the common sense and morals that adopted by our surroundings (public), but actually, they are just jealous, because they didn’t have anything like this to be proud of. So, ii decided that I should just be open to others, tell them that I like this and this. They will not be dare to laugh at you, cause you have something, something that you can put all your heart and soul into. Let them know that you’re serious :D .
Aside from that, I actually want to go to comike, I really want to know what it’s like, but sadly, my day-off from my office is already depleted because of AFA… D: then again, I don’t know if I’m able to take day-offs in end of year. When my friend told me about his experience in comike, it makes me drool, and made me wanted to go there myself. Maybe this year or next year then D:.

- Increasing expenses
LOL.. this one’s embarassing, actually. Getting new job = got salary = got new temptations to buying stuffs D:… I started by buying more puchi nendos, first is Hatsune Miku Set. I’m really happy cause I got it in a somewhat cheap price. Feeling not enough, I started to buy more puchi sets. First is I got bakemonogatari set 2, and then I got bakemonogatari set 1 for a cheaper price, because of box defects, and then it started to be buying spree… D: bakemonogatari set 3, and then lots more puchis and nendos are coming and POing… in the end, I’ll have an army of nendos and puchis… D: not that I hate it though, in fact I really LOVE it… 

And maybe, that’s all of my reminiscing throughout the year. I’m planning to type more than this, but I guess it’s enough for today… Happy birthday myself.. so sad :D
