RISYA AMARILIA: June 2018

No Instagram for A Month?

I was an active Instagram (IG) user. I have been using Instagram since... (checking the oldest post) 2014 - I know It is so late.

IG creative features creates the hype among the youngsters over the years. I can post photos & videos, create stories that last no longer than 24 hours, do live video, and chat with friends. It is like "we can not live without scrolling IG pages".

I felt the same way. I opened IG almost every hour because I could get information faster than news online. Sometimes, the information is important, but many are not. You know what I mean.... Like, information of people's life.

Actually, It is good to know how people are doing, especially my friends, but sometimes I tend to compare my life with them. Here is the problem!. I start to feel jealous and ungrateful every time I scroll people's feeds. Yes! "Rumput tetangga memang lebih hijau"! And a month ago, It is just worsen. I can not easily concentrate with my work, environment and even ibadah. All I did is just scrolling and scrolling, thinking that how people's life are blessed with luck. Honestly, other factor beside Instagram contributed here, but I decided to Puasa Instagram. I signed out and deleted the app from 3rd June 2018.

At first, the feeling is crazzzzy! The addiction is crazzzzy! I easily bored when I was alone. Mood swings happened And "godaan syaitan yang terkutuk" make me want to give up. But, I remind myself that Puasa Instagram is a good thing for me.

I did not post anything, even any post in Lebaran moments :(

After 2 weeks, I feel a little bit different. I tend to focus on myself not people. Maybe the change is not huge but Alhamdulillah the jealousy healed slowly. In week 4, I feel better without IG. I spend my time to do other activities like exercising, going out (without posting anything in IG), reading book, watching inspirational Youtuber like Gita Savitri who went to Jordan for social activities or Ria SW. Meanwhile, I also watched receh jokes like sensational Tik Tok reaction (Sorry, but I can not stop this).

I know that I am not updated since Instagram has their new features, like Instagram TV and video call features (just knew it 2 days ago!), but It is not a big deal, right? After all, I feel more peace. I realize that getting limited information of people helps me overcome the issues of jealousy. I know, there are many options, but at least, I have tried one.

Today, 30 June 2018, I am back in IG. I check every chat that has not been replied and post food stories. But, I feel to delete the app again! Lol. Well maybe I am just not ready yet.

Try Puasa Instagram. It is for your good.

Xoxo,

Culinary City, Cirebon

Travelling

With the existence of Cipali Toll Road, Cirebon becomes one of interesting destination, especially for their Culinary.

For the second time, I visited Cirebon on 2017 year-end holiday with my family. At first, We were planning to visit the tourism destination, like Sunyaragi Cave, one of the hype place in Cirebon. But, plan were just plan.

Yes. We were too focus on their tempting culinary.

Cirebon’s Culinary is one of the best. The first day we arrived, we’re directly heading to the most popular Empal Gentong, Empal Gentong H. Apud. Empal gentong is a spicy curry – like beef soup. I ate it with a plate of rice. Another favorite dish is Sate Kambing (Lamb Satay). For people who love lamb's fat, here is the best!

Rate: 4/5

Price: Around 30 K (Empal Gentong) and 50 K (Lamb Satay)

After that, I went to 4848 Es Kopyor. They have unique place with various 2017 calenders along their walls. They served Es Kopyor, milk, and syrup separetly, so that the customer may add with their own taste. It was so refreshing with 38 degrees Cirebon temperature, Masya Allah.

At night, We were too tired to go out. In tripadvisor, I found out that there is one local dish, that I never heard before, called Mie Koclok, Not Mie Kocok ya, MIE KOCLOK. So, we decided to order food via Gofood. The best one is Mie Koclok Mang Sam. They just open at night. We waited for 60 mins, which is little bit long. But, the waiting was so WORTH IT! THIS IS THE BEST LOCAL DISH IN CIREBON! It is noodle with white thick soup. It has slices of chicken and half boiled egg. SUPA GOOD.

Rate: 4.8/5

Price: around 20 K? I don't remember

In the last day, we visited Nasi Jamblang Ibu Nur. People said Gak Afdhol, If you went to Cirebon without trying it. I need to be in the line to choose the menu. The line was long. But, I did not wait too long. I got their most favorite balado shrimp, balado boiled egg, something looks like rendang, something looks like kecambah tauge and rice. I like their balado shrimp, but their black squid is my favorite. Next time, I will order it. They also have Tahu Gejrot which is the best in Cirebon (I had tried 3 different Tahu Gejrot during the trip, Lol)

Rate: 3.5 / 5

Price: Based on the dish (all around 15K), balado udang & black squid is the expensive one 35k - 45K). Tahu gerjot is around 15K

So, It was my culinary trip in Cirebon. I gained alot. But, I had so much fun to try new dishes.

Thank you for reading!

Note: Do not forget to buy Bawang Goreng Cirebon! THE BEST ONE!
