Indonesia Bermain

Tepatnya seminggu yang lalu,saya tergabung menjadi volunteer dalam kegiatan Indonesia Bermain. Tepatnya awalnya iseng - iseng aja sih,daripada gak ada kegiatan apa-apa pas weekend. Pas meeting up volunteer aja,masih banyak yang gak kenal..hehehe... Oh iya Indonesia Bermain itu acara yang digagas oleh Kummara,Agate Studio,Majalah Marketing,dll dimana ada banyak permainan dari permainan tradisional ampe board game modern dan beberapa conference yang mengundang pembicara ternama seperti Ridwan Kamil,Aidil Akbar,dll. Dan kebetulan saya kebagian jaga di main gate as ticketing.

Akhirnya mulailah bertugas,saya kebagian melayani penjualaan ticket dan memeriksa tiket pengunjung yang akan masuk ke arena Indonesia Bermain.Sebenernya capek tapi nyenengin,karena kita tahu berapa banyak pengunjung yang dateng. Alias ngikut ngeksis juga..hahaha just kidding. Then bersyukur banget dapet rekan - rekan yang menyenangkan. Sayangnya panitia ga bisa ikutan main,huhuhu..karena harus bertugas. Ada satu permainan yakni dance alias DDR..Wah kalo aja tahu ada permainan itu rasanya gak akan mau jadi panitia,tapi sudahlah nasi sudah menjadi bubur.

Saya sangat setuju dengan pendapat bahwa "BERMAIN ITU BUAT MAKIN KREATIF". Yap that's right terkadang kita sebagai orang yang beranjak dewasa melupakan esensi bermain. Kita adang terlalu sibuk dengan kehidupan yang teramat kompleks dan lupa sejenak untuk berhenti dan bermain. Merasakan kebahagiaan tertawa lepas dan melakukan hal - hal konyol. Cara yang teramat sederhana untuk kita menemukan kebahagiaan. Terapi gratis kalo saya menyebutnya. Hehehe..which is itulah definisi saya tentang bermain.

Saya ingin mengucapkan Thanks God sudah dipertemukan dengan teman - teman baru dan menjadi bagian dari keluarga besar Indonesia Bermain. Disini saya belajar bahwa "Bermain itu sesekali penting untuk meningkatkan imajinasi dan buat makin kreatif".Dan bermain itu dapat meningkatkan kebahagiaan,buat mood makin bagus,dan mendukung produktivitas kerjaan atau kuliah..hehehe..soalnya kan kalo sesuatu yang dipaksain itu ga bagus yah..hehehe.. Senang sekali rasanya beretmu orang - orang baru yang menyenangkan. Dan saya masih ingat,ketika telah selesai foto - foto diantara tim ticketing,rasanya saya tak ingin megakhiri kebersamaan itu. Saya ingin merasakan itu lebih lama lagi. Karena pada saat 22-23 Oktober 2011 adalah hari yang hebat,menyenangkan :) .Dan semoga itu adalah awal yang baik,dan persahabatan dapat terjalin seterusnya bukan hanya saat event berlangsung.

The Power Imbalance When a Diplomat Dates You

  I never imagined that I would find myself entangled in a relationship with a man who held the title of diplomat . There is something inherently powerful about that word — a sense of nobility, intelligence, and integrity. For someone like me, who has always prided herself on being independent, educated, and emotionally resilient, the connection initially felt affirming. I thought, perhaps, I had finally found someone who could walk beside me as an equal. But what I didn’t realize at the time was how easily a title can conceal deeper truths — emotional manipulation , power imbalances, and an unspoken hierarchy that slowly erodes one’s sense of reality. Our story began online, like many modern romances. Joel Runnels introduced himself as a diplomat stationed in Central Asia , working in human rights advocacy . From the beginning, our conversations were intense and intellectually stimulating. He spoke about his work with disabled communities, policy reform, and global diplomacy. The...

When He’s a Different Person Behind Closed Doors

  You’ve probably never heard of Joel Runnels PhD — but in certain circles in Minnesota, he’s considered a quiet hero. A legislative affairs director who has dedicated decades of his professional life to disability rights and working for Minnesota Council on Disability , Joel is the kind of man who shows up at public hearings, writes compassionate policy briefs, and speaks with moral authority about equity, justice, and the need to protect society’s most vulnerable. He works closely with the Deaf community , disabled children, and families who rely on state policy to survive. But I knew another Joel. One who existed far away from the polished conference tables and media headlines. One whose mask would fall the moment the doors closed. And I’m finally ready to talk about him. This isn’t an exposé for the sake of revenge. This is my truth — and it’s also a mirror. Because too often, the people we are told to admire and trust the most are the very ones causing silent destruction behin...

When the Mask Falls: What I Learned After Being Lied to, Cheated On, and Gaslighted by a Diplomat

There’s a unique kind of heartbreak that comes not just from personal betrayal, but from betrayal by someone the world sees as respectable — someone who commands admiration, speaks with poise, and lives behind the diplomatic veil of charm and composure. I never thought I would find myself entangled in the emotionally devastating web of deceit, manipulation, and betrayal — especially not with a man trained to handle international relations, negotiations, and cultural sensitivity. But behind the polished exterior, I discovered a pattern of behavior that had been repeated many times before. A man who had fathered five children with two different women, leaving behind broken trust, confusion, and emotional damage. This is not a story told out of bitterness. It is told out of truth, growth, and a deep desire to help others recognize warning signs — and to choose themselves, every single time. The Charisma Trap He was everything that looked good on paper: well-educated, articulate, intellige...
