A Blogpost in the Big '26

Got bored and just realized I have a blog, so why not write on it?

Just gonna give some life updates because that’s literally the sole purpose of the existence of this blog.

It’s halfway through 2026, and what a year it has been. I’m grateful for everything that has happened so far, whether good or bad.

School life

Now, I just finished 11th grade, and that means 2 years on smeas.

Looking back at it, from getting depressed in the first few months because I had to adapt to a completely new environment that smeas is, thinking that “man these people suck”, to now just enjoying everything that happens and getting along with practically everyone, even though some are closer than others, it really makes me realize that I’ve come a long way in this smeas journey.

Really looking forward to whatever happens in 12th grade, especially magang, all the exams, and everything that comes with 12th grade in vocational high school.

While also reminding myself to not just focus on what’s gonna happen, but also to enjoy the moment, what’s currently happening, and that enjoying the moment is the most important thing.

Outside of school stuff

While most of my focus has been on school things, there are quite a lot of things I do outside of school (compared to the last few years at least).

Go to perunggu’s concert

Perunggu’s fricking awesome, the performance, the songs, etc. I know that they’re fricking good, but damn seeing them live is something else, that Biang Lara was really good. The audience was also really awesome, even though it was a school event, and I originally didn’t have high expectations for the crowd, but damn it was a good crowd. (Idk, it’s just as far as my experience goes, which I don’t have much of). Hoping to see another performance by them, and all the artists that I like.

had to take friends photo/edits because i didn’t get the raw

Did my first summit

It was a really cool experience. After a few months ago where I failed to go to the top of the mountain, now I can successfully summit, on what was generally considered to be a harder mountain too! Really happy and really proud of myself, and a big thank you to all my friends who stayed with me through all the struggles while hiking. Looking forward to hike another mountain! Even though my shoes are completely broken huhuu :(.

but overall really cool experience, especially where me and 1 friend getting lost :)

About future things

Ayo coba berprediksi.

Are we doomed??

These past few months have been really interesting, and kinda depressing in a way. Especially looking at the job market that seems more and more depressing, more and more people getting replaced by AI, and I’m starting to worry about the future in the field where I’m currently in, which is software development and cybersecurity. And the scariest thing is, I’ve actually experienced a lot of those things, especially in CTFs, where most challs are AI gen, and the players also just straight tossing the challs to AIs. Yeah, what some people say that “CTF is dead*” might be real, tho the community itself isn’t, but the competitive and learning part might be kinda dead.

And trying to escape and take a break from it didn’t really help, because when i try to get my focused to other things, it’s all just fucked up things, especially all the bad news about Indonesia, while the whole fkin country is fucked. Damn near every day the government did something really stupid. Man it is depressing, it’s just doomed. Yeah, what a time to be alive.

But again, why focused on something that we couldn’t control? Just give our best and that’s all, right?

Thank you!

That’s it y’all, sorry for all the broken English and all the whining, see you next time. God bless. Have a Nice Time.
