Find Happiness in Random Things




I'm not an easily bored person, but when I do, I can do the most random things ever. One time, I was waiting for a friend in a geek convention , the next thing I know, I'm already assigned to a regional Star Wars community. But, then again, what's wrong with a little randomness in our life. It definitely sparks up your ordinary days. So this list I made, is a lot of realistic ideas of what you can do right now, because it doesn't spend so much money ( like I won't suggest an impromptu trip to Egypt ), but yes, it requires efforts. And as for me, I always find happiness in simple things. This is how a person like me enjoying life. 
You're welcome.

1. Sign to any community in your neighborhood or town, the ones you're interested. Or if you can't find one, make one. I always wanted to be able to initiate a movement. 

2. Find any street food near your house that you never tried before. 

3. Try a new recipe, even if you don't like to cook. You'll be thrilled to try things you never done before. And no, I don't accept "I can't cook", seriously, how hard can it be ? It's all there in the recipes. Even a 5-minutes-microwave chocolate cake will do. 

4. Watch Finding Bigfoot episodes on Youtube. Or Whale Wars. 

5. Go clean slate with your bedroom. Cleaning, managing mess and clutters, or throw everything away and start over with your room, I don't care. I think making your bedroom comfortable enough is worth it. It doesn't have to be IKEA full-furnished. Well managed with a little DIY decorations is enough. Having a new managed bedroom is like having a new chapter of life, I'm telling you. 

6. Open Youtube, find any HIIT training or Yoga. Equipment free and yes, it makes you healthier. Move that butt now, no excuse. I suggest FitnessBlender :)

7. Buy old, secondhand magazines. Doesn't matter if it's an old issue, they still have many useful informations. In Indonesia you can get three old magazines for only IDR 15000 ( around $13.5 )

8. Buy secondhand books. There's nothing like it. Or borrow some from your bookworm friends. 

9. Find a cheap or free exhibitions and shows in your town. Even if it doesn't sound like you, like an indie theatrical play, infamous concert, book reading, or maybe an art show.

10. Go to airport, take some company or alone. You can enjoy the cafes and restaurants while embracing the vibes of people going on holidays. 

11. Plan a potluck gathering with your friends or cousins. You don't have to wait for special occasions. You can make it a movie marathon night, a board games or karaoke night. 

12. Meet a friend you haven't seen in a long time. Check your phone contacts. Oooh, you got plenty, right ?

13. Watch an old Hollywood movie, from 1940s-1960s. That old Hollywood accent will stay in your head for days. 

14. Bake cupcakes or muffins. Give it to the homeless, tell them you baked it yourself :)

15. Turn off any kind of unessential social media like Instagram, Path, Twitter or Facebook for days. Try Flipboard, Medium, Zomato or Pinterest instead.
