Between a Thesis and a Cup of Coffee: A Faithful Companion for Final-Year Students

Gambar
       As the night grows deeper and the city slowly falls asleep, many final-year students are just beginning their long hours of work. In front of glowing laptop screens and stacks of unread references, one simple companion is almost always present: a cup of coffee.      For final-year students, coffee is no longer just a beverage. It becomes a loyal companion throughout the long and demanding process of writing a thesis. From campus libraries and small boarding rooms to late-night cafés, the aroma of coffee blends with academic pressure, determination, and hope.      Coffee accompanies students through every emotional phase—when ideas flow smoothly and when words refuse to appear on the screen. In moments of exhaustion, especially after receiving repeated revisions from thesis supervisors, coffee often provides a short pause to breathe and refocus. One sip can restore energy, not only physically but also mentally.    ...

“33x” by Perunggu: A Song That Feels Uncomfortably Honest

Gambar
       There are songs that are simply pleasant to listen to, and there are songs that feel like a reflection of real life. “33x” by Perunggu clearly belongs to the latter. From the very first play, the song settles in—not only in the ears, but deep in the emotions.      “33x” speaks about simple yet complicated feelings: repeated failures, making the same mistakes over and over, and the human effort to keep going despite falling in the same place many times. The lyrics feel raw, intimate, and unpretentious. It feels as if Perunggu is not singing to the listener, but having a conversation with themselves—and somehow, that conversation becomes ours too.      Musically, “33x” carries Perunggu’s signature sound: warm, minimal, yet deeply impactful. The calm arrangement gives the lyrics room to breathe and sink in. Nothing feels excessive, yet everything feels perfectly placed. The music is genuinely that good , making listeners want to p...

BMKG Issues Early Warning: Potential Tidal Flood (Rob) Threatens Banten’s Coastal Areas in December 2025

Gambar
       The Indonesian Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has issued an early warning regarding the potential for tidal flooding (rob) along the coastal areas of Banten throughout December 2025 . The alert follows BMKG’s analysis of tidal patterns and astronomical conditions that may trigger maximum sea-level rise.      According to BMKG, several natural factors including the full moon phase, perigee (when the moon is closest to Earth), and high tidal cycles could increase the likelihood of coastal inundation in the coming weeks. The agency urges residents in low-lying coastal zones to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions.      The areas at risk include both northern and southern coastlines of Banten, particularly residential zones, fishing settlements, ports, ponds, and salt farms that have historically been vulnerable to tidal flooding.      BMKG stated that the impacts of rob can be signific...

The Daily Afternoon Rainfall — A Sign We Shouldn’t Ignore

Gambar
       Lately, rain has been falling almost every afternoon in many regions, including the Greater Jakarta area. This seemingly routine pattern is more than just a seasonal shift; to me, it feels like nature is speaking and we should not look away.      Afternoon rain does bring its own atmosphere: wet streets, cooler air, and a city whose rhythm suddenly changes. But behind that familiar scene lies a bigger question worth considering: why has the rain become so consistent, almost predictable, at the same hour every day?      Some might dismiss it as normal since the rainy season has begun. Yet if we look closer, the increasing intensity and irregularity of weather patterns over recent years is a clear sign that climate change is real. Unpredictable weather has now become part of our daily lives.      The sudden downpours each afternoon also affect people’s routines. Already congested roads become even more clogged, pub...

When the Rain Falls, Ojol Fares Rise

Gambar
       That evening, heavy rain poured over Tangerang. The streets, already crowded during rush hour, grew even more chaotic umbrellas popped open, sidewalks became slick, and the sound of honking cars filled the air. In the middle of all that noise and movement, I only wanted to go home, as usual, by ordering an online motorcycle taxi.      Normally, the route I take costs around Rp10,000  a short, inexpensive trip. But today was different. The app displayed a number that made me raise my eyebrows: Rp25,500 . More than double the usual fare.      I tried booking a ride. Searching for a driver… The search took long, then failed. I tried again, and again. The rain seemed to push many drivers to take shelter, while hundreds of people like me were scrambling to get home.      After several minutes of waiting, with the streets around me growing increasingly chaotic, I finally secured a driver. “Raining, yeah, Mbak? Ma...
