The Stories of Dita Anggraini

  Recently I've been listening to 'Past Lives' a lot. The song is just so relevant and beautiful. I love poetic words that communicate deeper meanings. For me, life is a mysterious journey full of unpredicted occurrences, but everything will make sense when the stars align! If you have your own world, a place where you are searching inside, and sometimes you feel lost outside, that is totally fine. I feel that too. We should not feel that we are overdramatic.  I feel that I should embrace it, whatever emotions, ideas, contemplations, and searches I have. This is my story, and I am writing it down.  Just because I am not simple and follow the rules, it does not mean that my storyline is wrong. It just mean that I am rather a little bit more creative in my writing, haha.  Not everyone will have the same way of perceiving the world as me; they might see the world differently, and I totally know that I can not force them to understand me. However, I used to always want t...

It was a great Friday, eating Max fried chicken and burger, with good companionship. You feel that when you share the same frequencies with your friends and talk about random stuff, you talk with your heart cause you are interested in how they perceive the world. And somehow, we ended up discussing reincarnation, and death. D : What do you want to do after you die?  B : I don't know; if I die, how can I make a plan? What do you want to do after you die? D took a long deep breath; this is not a difficult question, but difficult for her to express it. She believes in the afterlife after she dies; she believes she will be on a new long journey, and what she wants to do after she dies, is to survive that long journey.  She was thinking so hard, about how to take this with humour, but able to tell accurately how she felt.  There are so many different forms of love. She knows that the best, cause she is always a lover. Express her love for animals, friends, families, plants, fo...

I finally wrote about this, since it's not something I want to tell people verbally. I don't think many people still read blogs as well, haha.. so this is a good remedy for me. To be honest, I feel that I have many wounds from the past, that I still can not get over with until now. Sometimes, I remember those and cry, sleep, and then I wake up again; the difference is now I am getting better at facing reality. I let those sadnesses come cause in the end I am just a human, then I can come back again stronger, and little by little, I am getting better.  When I was younger, with problems that I had, I always felt how unlucky I was, then I thought I had to keep that feeling from telling others cause I believed I was being dramatic. Believe it or not, with my extroverted personality, I still have many stories that I never shared with anyone, cause either it was too painful to remember, too embarrassing, or I just wanna delete those memories, cause they made me so lost.  In fact, I ...

  Ramadhan kemarin merupakan ramadhan pertama ku di negeri orang. Puasa di Stockholm nyatanya jadi pengalaman yang sangat berkesan, karena tentu, begitu banyak perbedaan dengan berpuasa di Yogyakarta. Kurang lebih 4 kali ramadhan sudah aku lalui di Bali, jadi puasa sendirian sudah biasa. Bedanya di Stockholm, puasa kita lebih panjang (17-18 jam karena sedang spring). Untungnya puasa disini adem, jadi tidak ada yang namanya haus kepanasan. Mungkin perbedaan lainnya, kalau di Bali setidaknya orang berpuasa sudah cukup dikenal ya, kalau disini, banyak orang tidak tau tentang bulan ramadhan. Sehingga banyak sekali pertanyaan tentang bulan ramadhan, puasa, dan kenapa kita harus puasa. Menjelaskan hal-hal semacam ini tentunya tidak mudah, karena kita harus berhati-hati untuk memberikan statement yang meninggalkan kesan baik, apalagi sering kali puasa tanpa makan dan minum 18 jam dianggap kurang manusiasi oleh teman-temanku.  Terlepas dari itu, bulan puasa terlewati juga. Nyatanya ki...

Halo, perkenalkan nama saya Dita. Saat ini saya merupakan mahasiswa Master di KTH Royal Institute Technology , Swedia.

This essay was made for Sustainable Electric Power Engineer assignment at KTH           Coming from Indonesia, an archipelago country with more than 17,000 islands, I see different challenges on electricity generations and distributions faced by my country. Indonesia has achieved a 98.86% electrification ratio since 2019, but regional disparities of electricity access are still happening. Many electrified regions, especially in Eastern Indonesia, have not had access to 24 hours electricity [1]; this impedes the development of other sectors such as economic, education, or health.  Therefore, I am motivated to pursue a career in the energy sector to take part in improving the life quality of many Indonesian citizens by providing more reliable energy access for society. By studying in the Electric Power Engineering [2] program in KTH, I wish to have a solid understanding of the electrical system, its operation and planning that will be beneficial to dev...
