Kekecewaan hadir karena ekspektasi dan kenyataan yang jomplang. Apalagi manajemen ekspektasi masih menjadi barang langka, tidak terkecuali pada pelayanan kesehatan. Apa yang akan dikompromi jika dibayar murah? Tentunya dari pelayanannya. Ini kali pertama keluarga gue pake BPJS. Kecewa? Banget.  8x dibuat muter2 pindah rumah sakit karena sistem BPJS yang merepotkan.  2x rumah sakit menolak karna alat gak lengkap.  Dan 4x dokter melakukan USG di rumah sakit yg berbeda dengan hasil analisa penyakit yang berbeda juga.  Ada yg bilang kanker rahim. Miom. Kanker usus. Sampai terakhir pemeriksaan, dokter bilang TBC perut.  Kok bisa? Mana yang benar?  Gue pun juga ga tau.  Dan setiap pernyataan dokter masih diikuti kata “kayaknya” seolah-olah juga ga yakin dengan omongannya. Bagaimana bisa orang sakit penyakit nya berubah ubah dalam waktu 1 bulan?  Bagaimana bisa gue yakin sama ucapannya klo masih ada kata 'kayaknya' ditiap penjelasan.  Dokternya bing...

Hi everyone, back with me, Arina, di my digital diary! This trip was  a version of ibu-ibu komplek who want to healing to the  beach.  Para Bitj Go To Bitj hahah.. I don't know why I really BM to go to the beach and camping there. Because previously, I've been camping in the highlands, now I want to try camping in the lowlands which is the beach. Finally, I got a recommendation from my friend to go to Sanggar beach, located in Tulungagung, East Java. Many people said it was hidden paradise! So, lets see!! ----;;---- At 1.00pm Due to the trip was for girls, we were a bit worried if we leave at night, so we dicided to depart at 1pm.  The trip was approximately 2.45 hours. Along the way there were lots of dramas HAHAH Drakor mah lewat!  In the middle of the way, my friends separated. Finally, we had to stop for a long time and wait for them to gather again.  The route was very surprising and unpredictable. S uddenly there's a ravine to the right and left!...

Hi, back with me, Arina, di My Digital Diary! Crazy excited to tell y’all about my new year’s eve. It was such memorable moment that I’ve never tried before. In last December, means December 31st 2022, My friends and I decided to camp in Anak Kaki Gunung Wilis, Jawa Timur. Fyi, Anak Kaki Gunung Wilis has a height of 1500mdpl, so it is quite safe for beginner. We prepared only 7 hours and start to go at 8pm. It such a random, fast, and super crazy trip!!! We rent some tents, bought some meals, and riding to go there. Riding from the boarding house to the camping site was approximately 2 hours. It was quite extreme because both sides of the forest and roads were very quiet, even though it was New Year's Eve. Fortunately, the trip went smoothly and there were no problems at all. —;;— At 10.00pm Arriving at the campsite, everything was really full. Actually, I was a bit worried that we won't get a place, because we are not prepared and haven't made a reservation. But luckily ag...

Hi back with me Arina di My Digital Diary! Sebenernya aku ga tau mau nulis apa, tpi ada hal yang pingin banget aku ceritakan di sini. Dari hasil merantau 4 bulan kemarin, aku bertemu sama Dia, panggil aja Nail. Nail adalah orang pertama yang aku temuin dan menjadi teman sekamar ku di Kos saat itu. Aku pikir Nail ini anak yang sangat ceria, hidupnya dipenuhi kebahagiaan. Ternyata aku salah total. Dari Nail aku belajar banyak hal. Belajar untuk terus sabar dan iklas, belajar untuk jadi perempuan tangguh, belajar bahwa ternyata berharap sama manusia adalah hal terbodoh, dan itu memang benar. Nail mengidap bipolar. Dia akan melukai dirinya sendiri kalo dia sedang merasa hancur dengan hidupnya. Sering banget aku lihat tangannya dipenuhi handsaplas. Aku khawatir banget. Bener-bener khawatir kalo dia sudah melakukan hal itu. Tapi aku ga tau harus berbuat apa. Ternyata di balik muka yang ceria nya, ada banyak kesedihan yang ia pendam. Mulai dari masalah keluarga, hubungannya, pertemanannya, se...

2022 has not been easy. Semakin dewasa aku semakin berusaha meyakini bahwa tidak ada yang selamanya, termasuk juga kehadiran orang-orang disekitarku. Jika orang itu datang di kehidupanku maka ada saatnya dia juga akan pergi meninggalkanku, entah diriku siap atau tidak, dan aku yakin sampai kapanpun aku ga pernah siap akan hal itu, terutama ditinggalkan oleh orang terdekat dengan ku. Actually, I hate this phase.  Pada akhirnya aku harus menerima bahwa seseorang yang hadir di hidup ku  tidak bisa selamanya berada di sisi ku. Mereka dihadirkan untuk menemani ku menjalani kehidupan, tetapi ada juga yang di hadirkan hanya sekedar memberi pelajaran hidup. Di sini lah aku, di desa Tulungrejo, Kediri. Banyak pelajaran yang aku dapatkan setelah menetap selama 4 bulan. Bertemu teman baru dari Sabang-Merauke dengan berbagai background dan tujuan yang berbeda. Amat sangat terhormat bagi ku, sudah diberi kepercayaan untuk mendengar banyak cerita yang mereka tidak ingin cerita kan kesembara...

Hi Everyone, back with me Arina at Digital Diary! My journey as a product designer is not always smooth. I’ve tried to apply for an internship as a product designer/UI-UX designer starting in the 3rd semester. Every day I hunted a job seeker account and apply almost 20 jobs each day but nothing results. At that time I almost wanted to give up because none of the companies I applied for work did not call me for an offering letter. And it always ends at the interview stage. But my prayers have finally been answered. Suddenly, my cell phone rang from a number not listed in my contacts. After I picked it up, it turned out that one of the financial company I had applied called me. I was invited for an interview that same day. Finally, I got an interview and did the case study that was given. The next day I was invited to another interview to talk about the offering letter, salary agreement, working hours, etc. It's really nice. ---//--- A week has passed since the last interview, but th...

Hi Everyone, back with me Arina at My Digital Diary! Time flies very fast! More or less 426 days (and it’s still counting) of my journey as a Product Designer at Mentor Inc. I joined on July 8th, 2021 when I was in the fifth semester.  Mentor Inc. was the place where I grew up and improved my skill. I’ve been with Mentor Inc. since before it became a PT and there were only 3 interns at that time. I am so beyond grateful to have been part of this history. You know, every process is not always smooth, there will be ups and downs, but I was able to get through it all. Because the environment is too fun and enjoyable.   I wanna say massive thanks to Mas Aldi and Mas Armand (I still remember when he sent me a message and gave me an opportunity to join this incredible team. And when the interview process, I have a colliding schedule but I still present my portfolio even though my position was in the security post. It was a really unforgettable moment to me). I am so honored to be t...

Hi Everyone, back with me Arina at My Digital Diary! I never believe it, I have begun my career to being a Product designer. Some of my friends asked me: ‘How can it be?’ ‘What are the steps to learn Product Design?’ That’s the common question when I met them. So, I would like to share about it based on my experience. First thing first, you have to know the reason : ‘Why do you want to be a product designer?’   ‘What has motivated you?’ Apakah karna kamu memang suka dengan mendesign?  Apakah karna memang kamu suka untuk solve problem?   Cari tau alasan kamu kenapa Product Design?   Kenapa ga yang lain?   Ngobrol sama diri kamu sendiri. And If you did and knew the answer, it will make you more spirit rather than you don’t know anymore. The second one is START .   Start to design at a platform that you are comfortable with. I suggest using FIGMA. Figma is a platform with a website based, so it won’t take a lot of your memory on your device.   I highly re...

Dear Allah, Terima kasih untuk ketenangan hati yang selalu ada, Terima kasih untuk sabar yang begitu luas, Terima kasih untuk selalu meleburkan hati ku ketika ia keras,  Terima kasih untuk kesehatan yang selalu Kau titipkan, Terima kasih atas segala kenikmatan yang Kau beri, Terima kasih atas segala rizki baik Mu, Kuat kan aku selalu, Bersamai dan dekaplah aku dimanapun aku menjajaki bumi Mu, Jangan Kau lepaskan aku, karna sungguh aku tak akan sanggup menjalani ini sendiri tanpa diri Mu. Kediri, 2022                                                       

Hi everyone, back with me Arina di My Digital Diary! I just remember a sentence, "At the heart of every product person there's a desire to make someone's life easier" “Di hati setiap seorang produk, ada niat yang kuat untuk membuat hidup orang lain lebih  mudah”, begitulah ucapan Francis Brown yang sampai saat ini kalimat tersebut menjadi  motivasi gue dalam berkarier di dunia produk. Product designer bukan hanya satu bidang. Ini adalah kombinasi dari hampir semua bidang. And did you know?! The journey to becoming a designer can be  stressful. We have to learning all the methods, tools, processes, developing good taste and a good eye. Once the designs are done, we will not stop there. It will continue on and on. Iterating a design many times to get things right. It takes time a nd that's precisely.  That's why, before becoming a product designer we have to know the reason, 'why do you want to be a Product Designer?'. Personally, I have motivated...

Harusnya kita ga temanan dari awal. Harusnya kita dulu ga perlu chat ya. Harusnya gue ga perlu menyukai pertemanan kita yg ini. Harusnya kita ga nyambung. Harusnya kita ga perlu menciptakan obrolan-obrolan menyenangkan itu. Harusnya lo jangan jadi teman baik gue. Harusnya pertemanan ini ga ada. Harusnya kita bisa lebih dari ini. Karena, semua yg lo rasain ke gue, dan yg gue rasain ke lo, lebih dari itu. Gue ga tau, kapan perasaan ini datang. Karena ketika perasaan ini mau datang, gue selalu denied dan berusaha menyibukkan diri. I just can't falling in love with you. Everytime you smile at me. Everytime you text me just to make sure im home. Everytime you laugh at my jokes. Idk, i want all those just for me. I know it sounds selfish and annoying. Sorry. I hope I dont fall in love with you!

Hi semua! Back with me 'Arina' di My Digital Diary! Memasuki notice periode, gue menyadari satu hal, bahwa gue sudah memasuki 1thn berkarier sebagai designer. Ga pernah terpikirkan sedikit pun gue bakal terjun ke dunia ini. Ada banyak hal yg gue belum tau tentang dunia produk design secara skillset maupun teori dan juga dunia perbisnisan duniawi. Gue sadar, ilmu gue masih kurang banget, terlebih gue hanya bermodal baca dari medium dan beberapa sumber. Ga pernah ikut bootcamp or anything like others. You know, it's pricey. Sampai sekarang gue bertanya-tanya ke diri gue sendiri, "Am I good enough? Will I be able to provide the best thing to my company or client or all my stakeholders or whatever who are need my help as a designer? Will my decision (when I'm designing) may help me from business need?" Sometimes I feel scared, exhausted, ashamed, insecure, all those toxic feeling combine into my mind! Mungkin ini lagi di fase imposter syndrome.  Mungkin gue butuh ...

Hi everyone. Back with me Arina di 'My Digital Diary' Tulisan kali ini, emang agak sedikit berat bahasannya. Tapi gue mohon, dont judge me. Dont blame me. Please understand what i feel and bantu gue untuk slalu ada di jalan Nya. Karna kita sama-sama masih belajar. Tidak ada manusia suci disini. We are same. Kurang lebih 3 tahun lalu, gue mencari Tuhan gue. Gue mencari Jalan mana yg benar. Apakah agama yang saat ini gue jalanin benar? Gue dibesarkan dan dididik oleh keluarga Muslim. Sejak kecil, gue sudah disuruh salat, tetapi, jujur aja, gue sering malas dan selalu bilang, “Udah.” Iya, memang sudah. Sudah duduk di kamar selama beberapa menit, merapikan sajadah dan mukena, tanpa melakukan salat. Saat itu, gue tahu salat itu kewajiban, gue tahu konsekuensi orang tidak salat itu amat berat, tetapi, entah kenapa, tidak mengena di hati. Tidak ada alasan kuat untuk salat. Namun setelah gue puber, gue berusaha tidak mau meninggalkannya. Dan mencoba berhijab. Lalu, hari itu da...
