nice things.
Tuesday, April 28, 2009

smell of the earth after a hard rain. freshly cut grass. sunset when the sky seems to have a million different colors. onions frying in the pan. a glass of creamy milk. grandmother's cooking. butter on toast. breakfast of cereal, blueberries, bacon, and eggs. candlelight dinner. laces and silk. satin and velvet. a pair of red shoes. waterfalls. rainbows. marble floor so shiny you can look at yourself on them. trees so old and so big, they're gnarled and you can't put your arms around them. horses; everything about them. a purring cat. a bowl of strawberries or apples. perfume; whiffed from the inside of a lady's wrist. a quiet midnight. an old couple holding each others hand. a love letter. weddings. ivies growing up and old stone wall. a table set with silver spoons, silver forks, china plates, and candles. seashells collected from a beach. flowers falling from a tree. dreams.

fingers wiping away your tears. a lover's kiss, a lover's hug.

WoW.
Monday, April 27, 2009

perkenalkan: World of Warcraft alis WoW. mesin pencuci otak pria paling ampuh. gw jamin kalo ga ada gw yg selalu ganggu dia main, dia bakal berakar di kursi dan hidup dari fotosintesis sinar komputer.

"hei, lg ngapain?"
"lg dungeon"

"nad, aku raid dl ya"

"tar mlm km mau apa?"
"main wow, makan, trus main lagi. hehe.."

"lg sibuk ga?"
"aku lg main n.."

"kangen n.."
"aku jg.. hehe.. nad, aku wow dulu ya.."

"top, ajarin aku mat dong.."
"bentar, lg wow"

ARGH. PENDOSA KAU PENCIPTA WoW. PENDOSA. kau cuci otak para pria dengan quests raids reputations totems dan tauren bugil. kau rubah mereka jadi hordes jelek dan alliance banci di azeroth. sial kau blizzard.

mengautis


akhirnya gw nyerah pasrah ngeliat dia mengautis hari demi hari demi hari demi hari di depan komputer. biar aja gendut maen terus. huh. gw tinggal memble aja nunggu dia selesai maen dan menyabarkan diri sambil bilang "boys will be boys."

cewe-cewe, peringatan: kalo pasangan anda mulai maen WoW, siap-siap mental yah. kalo dia uda maen dan sikapnya ga jadi autis... tukeran cowo yuk.

i blinked, and it's gone.
Sunday, April 26, 2009

so there goes my week-long holiday. what i did:
  • shopping. it's been a while since last time :D
  • went to bandung <3>
  • drama. dramadramadrama ohh the drama! a number of things just waiting to happen, and when they do, it's not pretty. basically lots of anger, cursing, swearing, confusion, and crying. and i'm just hoping this will end SOON.
  • sleeping. most of the time.
  • continue reading the chronicles of narnia. i can't get enough of C.S Lewis.
  • felia's sweet 17 party! i brought home 3 games prizes :D bergaya changcuters bareng topher, cecel, dan iin.
  • total neglect of anything concerning school.
and starting tomorrow school won't be any fun (i'm not saying that it'll be boring though. wink wink. or shiver shiver?). all stress and tests and tensions. i'm torn. i want to be a senior but i DON'T want to be a senior just yet. half of me is saying "LET'S JUST GET THIS OVER WITH" and half is all "NOOO IT'S TOO FUN TO END AND THE FUTURE IS TOO SCARYYYY". hell, i'm even scared thinking what will happen starting this monday.

at least i can still eat strawberries with whipped cream and sugar. it's so pretty i want to take a picture. unfortunately, topher has tactfully confiscated my camera. hush.

so, my advice: buy yourself the freshest strawberries you can fine, clean them, put them in a bowl, sprinkle all over with powdered sugar, cover in whipped cream, and eat with your fingers. say yum!

long days and long nights.
Monday, April 20, 2009

holiday!

there's nothing i like more than a long, undisturbed sleep up till midday. yayness! jadi gw punya banyak waktu sampe akhir minggu ini, dan gw ogah mikirin ulangan-ulangan dan tugas yg numpuk minggu depan. seminggu ini kita bisa seneng-seneng, keluar kota, leha-leha, ketawa-ketiwi sementara para senior pusing sama uan. trus nanti giliran mereka selesai, kita yg kocar kacir ngurusin sekolah sementara mereka libur berbulan-bulan. itukah keadilan?

yang penting sekarang kita masih tertawa bahagia.

besok gw mau ke bandung sama temen-temen :D selain itu, liburan ini gw mau ngurusin beberapa hal yg (seperti biasa) gw tunda-tunda mulu:
  • bikin kacamata baru
  • ngurusin party
  • nyari barang-barang yg selama ini gw cari tapi ga ketemu-ketemu
  • jadi member lookbook. tinggal nunggu invitationnya sih
gw baru mulai suka lagi foto-foto (hobi ini sempet mati gara-gara bowo), tapi ga serius banget sih. selain gara-gara kamera gw cacat dan gw pemales, ... yaa... itu aja sih alesannya sebenernya. hahaha.. narsis, fotoin anjing gw, barang-barang aneh yg ada disekitar rumah, dan orang lain. sebenernya gw paling suka motret orang-orang tua. aneh kan? tapi menurut gw orang tua macem kakek nenek itu sweet banget...

oiya, gw ada hobi baru: nongkrong di mall dan ngeliatin orang-orang. pasti aja ketemu orang-orang yang aneh tingkah lakunya, mulai dari yg diem-diem ngupil, yg pacaran, sampe ibu-ibu yg berantem sama anaknya. try it -- it's interesting. selain itu biasanya gw suka ngeliatin dan diem-diem ngomentarin baju orang-orang. hehehe.

sekali lagi: wahai para blogger! mana update kalian???

"you're pretty, you know? i like you."
"you have to like me -- you're my mom"
- me and my mom.

"Why does loving somebody mean you have to hurt them as much? I mean, if that's the way it goes, what's the point of loving someone? Why the hell does it have to be like that?"

what happened.

udah lama juga gw ga cerita-cerita soal pengalaman bodoh.

jadi, sejak kelas kita dipindah ke gedung biru gara-gara anak kelas 3 ujian, gw semakin yakin bahwa: kita buang-buang duit sekolah.

apalagi sejak ada guru baru yg ngajar kita reading writing. miss gayle. bule nyasar yg ga tahan denger suara sedikitpun dan ga tau jadwal kelasnya sendiri. berkat dia kita dapet 1-2 jam pelajaran free! kyk gini:

gayle: this class ends at 9.30 yes?
mestinya jam 10.15
kita: YES

lebih parah lagi, minggu kemaren tadinya kita berencana kabur dari advance class dia. tapi akhirnya abis telat 15 menitan kita dateng juga ke ruang av3. ternyata si gayle uda pergi dari kelas dan dia ga balik-balik! mungkin dia seneng juga ya ga usah ngajar. aneh.

trus gara-gara sekarang kelas kita deket banget ke ruang padus dan guru-guru sering banget telat, kita punya banyak kesempatan buat kabur. kira-kira kayak gini:
pelajaran bosen + gw + cecel + ruang padus ga dikunci = pelajaran 'bebas'

gw makin ga ngerti sebenernya kita ke sekolah buat apa.

oiya, tadi ada kejadian hina banget.

shinta: larry, itu kenapa cman dibuletin? diitung ga sih soalnya?
sinchan: udah bu, dia ngitung cepet banget di luar kepala.
gw: iyalah di luar kepala. masa dia masuk ke kepala orang dulu baru ngitung? di kepalanya jimmy neutron aja ga muat kali!
gw dan sinchan sepakat bahwa perkataan gw tadi bener-bener hina dan ga manusiawi. trus kita panggil papa herman (yg notabene master jayus) buat nyeritain ke dia. abis diceritain papa bilang gini
herman: loh, tapi itu mungkin aja. peramal kan bisa masuk ke kepala orang.

dengan muka polosnya yg cute abis dia ngeliatin kita terus pergi. KRIK KRIK. gw mau mati dengernya. kita ga bisa berkata-kata lagi. pembaca sekalian silahkan memutuskan sendiri reaksinya mau gimana. tapi jangan lempar komputernya pake pacul. mending buat gw.

"HELLOOOO?? BE QUIET IT'S TOO LOUD!!"
- miss gayle.

a holiday journal.
Sunday, April 12, 2009

the last day of my four-days holiday, and i spent it in the best way possible: lazing all day on my bed, on my beanbag, and back again on my bed. what did i do? reading the Narnia series for the umpteenth time (well, not exactly. more like for the fifth time.), watching tv, taking pictures, getting rid of the Malaga Wine nailpolish, and surfing the internet. but i'm sure none of you wants to hear about any of that in detail.

face it -- at this point my life isn't exactly a roller coaster ride. i'm just trying to make it look at least a bit interesting. and you know what they say: presentation is just as important as the actual content. or something like that.


i love summer. but since i live in a tropical country, we don't have any other season but summer. that's why i especially love places that represent summer. like bali (i adore bali), hawaii... you know, places that give me an excuse to wear oversized sunglasses.


however, i just can't get enough of winter fashion. and like i said, we live in a country that has summertime all year long. so it's beyond ridiculous to wear those boots past march. sigh... too bad.


last but not least, a confession: i consume way too much sweets. somebody slap some sense into me.

"I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia."

this crazy all night spendin' my dough.
Saturday, April 11, 2009

jalan ke bandung. subuh. balik lagi jam 1 siang. penting abis. seengganya gw dapet blazer dibawah cepeceng di outlet. ha!

yesterday i threw a party and invited nobody.

today someone threw a party and didn't invite me. but i came anyway.

ga gitu seru. dancefloor sepi. tapi bolehlah. at least there's a bar. birthday girl adalah hana sembung, anak dh. happy birthday! :D thank you for letting me crash your party.

btw sekarang kita lagi istirahat masa pesta. tapi minggu depan uda mulai lagi iringan seventeenannya. anet, terus felia. yeay! makin lama gw makin ngerasa lebih enak dateng ke pesta-pesta aja daripada bikin pesta sendiri. hahaha.. asalkan crowdnya rame, gw seneng.

a little piece of advice for you partygoers:
just put your hands up in the air, throw your head back, stop thinking, and have fun! it's a party -- loosen up! nobody will think you're weird. and if anyone does, they suck. nobody will think you're high on drugs. and if anyone does, maybe they need a dose.


remember my wishlist? well, i just fulfilled one and got meself a pair of these asskickin' ankle boots. lookit em. i'm gonna wear them everywhere. even to school -- if they'd let me. i just took them for a testdrive on the dancefloor tonight. and they worked beautifully.

the banana pencil case.
Tuesday, April 7, 2009

sehari-hari nyante setengah mampus di sekolah, di kelas ga pernah belajar, ogah mikirin tugas. sekalinya ada ulangan ato tugas langsung kelabakan serasa dimasukin ke kamp konsentrasi. padahal kalo dipikir-pikir pas kelas 1 dulu tugas jauh lebih banyak. hahaha.. kelas 3 gw tobat ah.

minggu ini rada sibuk, tapi kamis ama jumat LIBUR. can't wait!

just get me one of these and i'll be so fine. they're my priorities:


please and thank you!

Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel you whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
- Lucky by Jason Mraz

absolutely! love, you're my anti-drug ♥

tell your secrets within these walls.
Sunday, April 5, 2009

what i really want is to live in a city with character.

you know what i mean -- cities that seem to be living, breathing. cities that seem to have stories of their own, and are whispering them to us through their buildings, their alleys, their people. these cities will automatically drag you towards them; inviting you to look at them a little more carefully and walk through their roads a little further.

a city where you can actually take a long walk in the late afternoon.



a city that never really sleeps, so you're never alone in the night. and there's always some place you can go to when home is not where you want to be. wink wink.


a city with marvelous places begging to be discovered.
a city where the people are just as fun, colorful, interesting, and unique as the city itself.
maybe one day jakarta will be just like those cities
it's got potential.

cheap red wine.
Friday, April 3, 2009

a glass of red wine. settled before me. deep red. swirl swirl.

may you not be like a glass of cheap red wine. i put my lips against the rim. i inhaled -- i smelled alcohol, clouding over the fruits and spices. i sipped. it stung. i tasted alcohol, powerful and burning as it slided along my tongue and down my throat. it was wine, but where was the aroma, the delicate taste, the poem?

may you not be like a glass of cheap red wine. i sipped and sipped again. it was tolerable. but after a while i began to want it to disappear faster. i stopped sipping and began gulping. i wanted the alcohol. the wine will get me drunk, but i can do that with a can of beer. the wine will get me drunk, but there was nothing romantic--or even fun--about it.

may you not be like a glass of cheap red wine. it was finished. the glass empty. a puddle of reddish pink residue on the bottom. i ran my tongue along the inside of my mouth. i remembered the good wines i've had--they left a rich aftertaste. woody or fruity. i licked my lips. bitter and smelling of alcohol. i wanted a glass of water to rinse it off.

but this glass of cheap red wine. it stood for something. a thoughtful gift, a sweet meaning. a part of the manifestation of an achingly beautiful feeling. poured down a glass for me. inside every drop was a hope to see me smile, see me happy.

and that, love, is more important than the color, the aroma, the taste, or the aftertaste of this glass of cheap red wine.

so may you be like this glass of cheap red wine.

all these half-assed attempts.
Thursday, April 2, 2009

i feel like i haven't blogged properly this past few weeks, and i think i owe my page an update.

now, this topic is a bit late to bring up, but i'm the most unorganized person i know so i'll talk about it anyway.

mungkin lu pada uda nyadar bahwa blog ini adalah kumpulan dari:
hal-hal kecil yang dilebai-lebaikan
pos-pos dramatis yg intinya "GUAH BOSEN"
pengumuman-pengumuman bahwa lagi-lagi gw sakit. lagi.
hal-hal ga menarik yg menurut gw menarik dan seharusnya bikin orang tertarik
foto-foto benda-benda di kehidupan sehari-hari gw
pemikiran gw yg seringnya ga jelas

intinya, blog ini adalah miniatur hidup gw. seengganya miniatur sebagian kecil dari hidup gw. kayak miniaturnya miniatur. dan sebenernya sih lumayan cocok - blog gw isinya berantakan, ga teratur, ga ada intinya, dan kebanyakan ngegantung. secuil-secuil doang. kurang nikmat. well, my life is more or less that way. i want a little bit of this, a little bit of that, but i rarely go all the way.

masalahnya, sering banget gw pengen memulai sesuatu, tapi begitu mulai, gw bingung sendiri dan akhirnya jadi ribet. contohnya sekarang. gw mulai bingung mesti ngomong apa lagi. krik.

pertama-tama gw bisa ngomong blablabla panjanglebardalemtinggi, trus di tengah-tengah gw berhenti, liat ulang, dan '...trus?'. and that's that. maybe i'll pick up where i left off. maybe i won't.

so expect more of this kind of half-assed thoughts and musings. nevermind where i left it, just remember that i started on a damn good topic. if i ever did, that is.
