2025 < 2026
The "new year" vibe is not the same, right? All I can do is by making an words, and keep on motivating myself, not by celebrating it and see fireworks. In this year, I want to all I want to do when I want, and the time is right now. Do it all, in the sense of joy. At least, I can see fireworks in this year, and my wish to make my daily photos into an video is done. 2025. is clear for me.
2025
In the January, I do coding as usual, and come to school like usual. THe special thing is, my favorite artist The Weeknd dropping an brand new album "Hurry Up Tomorrow". That's the first time I have my favorite album, I thought it's an 10/10. I also checking Fantano review, and that was an good time, an 8/10. And I even learn hwo to scrobbling then with last.fm.
In February, I changing my name into "W3Teal". Basically, it's means "World Wide Web" + Teal, the accent color I used ever since LIGMATV. It's an good time to refresh my identity, and you know what, yes/LIGMATV is my old YouTube name, but I just doesn't know what an good name, so I just use the old one. I so mcuh adore the W3Teal name, I signing up to, literally all social media ever, and also joining Fosstodon, it's one of my dream, and it's literally just an simple FOSS-themed instance, I can see or write in any topic I want. That's called freedom.
In March, it's all fun. It's the Ramadan month. While wait, I just simply tinkering with my computer, playing a little games, listening to music, and also joining Bearblog! Before that, I searching almost every single blog services, and even made my own <3!12 I didn't realize that it's almost knocking a year. Are we really gone fast, huh? In the Eid Al-Fitr day, my house is being a host, where one family root gathers (This is Indonesian culture!).
I think that it's really funny, that just an couple days in that Ramadan month, I immediately lost interest in blogging, but glad Herman didn't pull me off, lol! And then In April, I almost rarely to touching my computer, really such an boring times. In some time, I playing around the VMs, at that time the distros I use is Linux Mint, and my favorite is ElementaryOS, the design is really good, and the most stable one (As my computer is not so powered).
May is the "phone tinker" month, since my father paying me an Widget App "Everything Widgets", and the developer itself is giving every buyer an really good giveaway, basically you can choose one app from the same publisher, for free. I choosing Crayon Icon Pack, and never going back. But also then, I become an giveway hunter, I searching accross Twitter, and yap about the goods of app, and I win in some times. I become an phone addictor, my time is wasted on phone customizations, and screenshot, screenshot, even though the storage is 32 GB!!! (Glad I god the new one, so I can even crazier!)
June is the best month that filled all my egos, from rankings in the class, also when holiday starts, and an brand new phone, I think it's really worth it for the price! Like, 8GB+256GB?! Yowza, that's really big. But, I start to find my regret paying an Xiaomi phone, the UI is incredibly trash. On default, their navigation bar in third-party launcher to be made as ugly as possible, and you can't even use gesture in my favorite launcher?! But, glad I found the silver lining. The Xiaomi built-in themes is "kinda" big, but deadly BUGGY. You won't found an peace with that default UI, some small tiny not big hidden gem is basically everywhere, e.g. blur in setedit, and finally I found an workaround to make gestures works with third party launcher3. If you an casual user, you didn't notice anything though, you can simply disable ads too, but don't wishing too far.
Twenty One Pilots is my favorite artist, and they're RELEASED an brand new single "The Contract", and even an brand new ALBUM too!! The hype is even crazier, than me with HUT. And what I notice, the comments is mostly saying like it's really looks like an Linkin Park song, and then I found The Contract + What I've Done mashup. I really didn't know that song, but it's really good. And idk, it's makes me an Linkin Park fans.
In July, I starting into my computer again, I do a bit tinkering in my forgettable project "GMX.css" (I didn't know what's really the point, BeerCSS is really good tho?). I definitely listening to music, I listen to The Hunting Party, Living Things, A Thousand Suns, and their newest From Zero. And I realize, that I listen to Linkin Park discography (not whole..will checking their earlier LP), is The Contact. And I'm a bit sad when I see that Fantano didn't like it, I really confused, but like, oh okay. I back into school again, and somehow it's brighter <3
August, the A is for Arch. But the first, I use CachyOS, and then Arch (reinstall it 5 times in a row LOL) this is the first time I starting to have confidence to messing arround with my computer, I starting to memorize the BIOS key "del del del". But I don't have an standalone USB that I can use (I a bit scared to told too). So I tried the KMDTech's tutorial, installing it without USB drive. It's using partition, so it's simpler to me to tinkering my computer, without even single help or helper. And it's helps me even learn a lot, from BIOS layout, Disk Management, and some cmd tools like bcdedit, I feel like an tech guy! <3 (This is not really clear too, you should see this full yap version).
I remember, the last year August (2024), I messing up my computer because I really want to use Windows 11, no USB, no doing what, I just do an weird things with regedit because an random website, and when I restart it, yowza. What's that black screen??? (that's really like that). And for a whole month, I didn't play my computer, until it's taken to a technician, and it's finally installed Windows 11! In the range of a year, I can really laugh to my old self.
In September, I become Linux and Arch "btw" glazer. I tinkering by trying Hyprland, switching DE, and even I wake up faster in the morning, just to see my Arch setup, while NOT doing anything productive. It's, it's incredibly addictive, the customization is really makes you an king, just like Bearblog. But aside of that, I also become an music lover. I start to always seeing an brand new stuffs in AOTY, and become crazy for "scores" number, that's basically the most selling point in AOTY. Breach is dropped, and I really HYPED! For one more time, I can be an hyping fans again, I straight giving it an 100, doesn't matter what. From City Walls which is ........ idk.
In October, I still not too close into programming, but I start to make an blog again, in Bearblog, yap about my "7 Months" distrohopping, pretending that I have million fans awaited for me to write, I think it would have an 100 upvotes, but end-up disappointed by my own expectation, and my make post about it, and..yeah, it's higher bruh. And also, I'm an Tame Impala fans. Sorry, if it's feels so rushed, I really have so much favorite artists since AOTY disease. End Of Summer is mid, what even is Loser, and wow, Dracula is peak. It's released just an couple days (week) before the release, so it's makes my hope high. But I end up disappointed, it's doesn't have any Currents, or even The Slow Rush. I just listening to the opening and it's done. DONE. ANd you know what? I testing to make my own music, with zero budget, just my computer and LMMS. Born "w3oscillator" STUPID name. I rather not to talk about it.
In November, Danny Brown dropping an album that terminally online would love, it's Stardust, and it's, really really great. I know he since I saw his album is the number one in 2016, just search the name. And now he went to having the most sweetest and catchiest song, and the experimentation is still blanded pretty well. You know, all things is doesn't need to taken very seriously, sometimes you also needed the fun! Later, I find that Arch is really too much way freedom, even we need to do another things to makes all things works properly. It's a whole lotta damage, so I just choosing Garuda. Because, why not? It's has all what I need, the disks are properly mounted, the built-in tools is really good designed, and packed up with Virtual things which is become the first selling point for me, because, I also needed Microsoft Office (though I never used it lol).
In December, my times is full of sweet-bittersweet things. I starting to blogging more often again, and also start to coding again. I find my stops, Bearblog for blogging, Garuda for Linux. That's all. All I need is, something that simple and do the job I want. I realize that Arch is not for me, and I would spend too much time to customizing instead of writing if I using another blog service. So, It's all really sweet, just it's really the opposite of June, you can check my specific post in December too. Just keep your plans, I hope that you never have to drop. I find a lot of very good hidden gems, I making my 2026 wishlist, and starting to degoogling my life. Even though, it's just myself. I would survive the better way than my friends. I would keep an promise to myself, just keep on motivate myself.
2026
And that's how I alive in 2025. And now, it's already 2026. I really wish I can do my best for filling all my wishlist4, I want to make myself proud even though others not. So on, I would starting to blogging more often, and also do an Weeknotes which is start from this week. Also, I making an 44 posts in 2025, without 7 months writing. So what if I do blogging every month too?
Let's starts right here. Here we go again. I wish I didn't forgot to click that "Save as draft" so I didn't losing my posts I want to write <3
