Hello, everybody~ In this post, I wanna recall a not so old story that I experienced months ago. I was still staying at my kost last semester, so going back to my hometown had become my regular activity every week. But sometimes, I would head to my home when there was a special agenda, it had not needed to be on the weekend tho. I once had this tiring week, I couldn't remember it clearly what I was doing, but it was definitely a hectic one. I felt likee snugglingggg with my bed until night so badllyy. However, I had to attend an important meeting, hence I drove to my home in slightly 1 hour 30 minutes😫 Oh, tell me! Are you the kind of person who likes to have a comfort food when you're tired? If yes, then welcome to the gang😌 ( hehe notice that I use visual emoji now? ). Back to my story, I reallyyy loveee having a comfort food when I find myself on the bottom of the ocean as it feels as strong as my dearest one is hugging me haha. I have my favourite one ya , it's chicke...

Tiba-tiba saja Rain kedatangan pertanyaan yang sudah meninggalkannya bertahun-tahun lamanya, " Jikalau bisa memilih akankah kamu hidup di dunia mimpi atau di dunia nyata? ". Rain masih ingat, bagaimana diri kecilnya menjawab dengan riang, " Tentu saja, dunia nyata! ". Saat itu dunia masih dipenuhi dengan balon warna-warni dan permen karet yang manis. Hingga Rain tidak mengerti mengapa orang-orang dewasa itu menertawakan jawabannya, seolah meledek dirinya yang naif. Sedangkan Rain saat itu, masih sangat terheran mengapa orang dewasa tidak ingin hidup di dunia nyata? Bukankah sekalipun mereka masuk ke dalam dunia mimpi, suatu saat mereka akan terbangun dan menyadari bahwa kebahagiaan yang mereka miliki tidaklah nyata? Rain rasa, ia baru mengerti sekarang. Kini matahari yang dulu sering ia pandang dengan senyuman juga mata yang berbinar, menjadi sangat ia benci kehadirannya.  Matahari itu menjadi sumber kesakitannya setiap hari. Bagaimana tidak? Jika itu hanya menginga...

Aku sering mendengar betapa tingkah laku kita pun bisa sangat berpengaruh bagi kehidupan seseorang. Entah melalui kalimat yang kita ucapkan maupun tindakan yang kita lakukan. Nyatanya kita mampu membuat orang merasa semangat untuk hidup atau justru membunuh semangat hidup itu, keduanya bergantung dari bagaimana kita membawa diri kita. Jadi biar kuceritakan suatu kisah di pagi hari yang cerah, dimana aku melangkahkan kaki ke kampus untuk melaksanakan tanggung jawab sebagai anggota kepanitiaan sebuah acara seminar. Hari-hari sama yang sudah kujalani selama hampir satu bulan terakhir. Terasa statis karena aku harus duduk terdiam menjaga loket tiket dan menunggu sampai seseorang datang untuk membelinya. Waktu-waktu pagi yang begitu lekas berganti menjadi sore, lebih banyak kuhabiskan mengobrol dengan diri sendiri. Di tengah-tengah keheningan itu, diam-diam masih pula kubawa peperangan pikiran yang kian berkecamuk di dalam diri. Namun, tentunya itu hanya menjadi rahasia yang kusimpan sendir...

While I'm on Sunset, are you on the subway? While I drive, are you gettin' on the L-train? I mean, Manhattan's nice, but so are Malibu nights You would know if you stayed You would know if you put up a fight Your toes turn blue in winter, I'm gettin' red, rum Does the trick for all of the things left unsaid, I'm Missin' our drunken 2 A.M. strolls in K-Town Now you're chasing fake highs in the Upper West Side And fuckin' on Brooklyns in Brooklyn Your Chealseas in Chelsea Hope that eases the pain, so you remember to miss me And you sold your car, now you walk for miles Bet your feet feel numb (Crosswalks in my mind are shaky, so please hold on tight) All my demons run wild All my demons have your smile In the city of angels, in the city of angels Hope New York holds you Hope it holds you like I do While my demons stay faithful In the city of angels Summer's endin' now and the nights are coolin' down Remember last winter when we would drive ...

Sudah menjadi kutuk bagi seorang wanita yang tidak pernah mencecap kebaikan cinta di dalam hidupnya untuk terus jatuh di dalam putaran perasaan yang semu. Namun, wanita itu tidak akan bisa menghindar tak mampu seberapa keras dia berusaha, sebab situasi ini seperti jerat yang mengikat kakinya untuk melangkah jauh dari neraka itu. Entah kapan semuanya bermula, yang pasti dia juga tidak mau mempercayai bahwa semuanya menjadi nyata. Harapan akan manisnya cinta yang dapat menjadi sandaran, seseorang yang mampu berjuang bersama pada setiap situasi, kehormatan dan rasa saling menghargai di sebuah hubungan rupanya belum dia cecapi juga. Cinta yang datang dengan cepat berlalu pula secepat kedipan mata.  Atas semua naik dan turun kehidupannya, harusnya Serena mampu menghindar dengan lebih cerdik lagi. Ya. Jika saja sebuah perasaan adalah hal yang dapat dikendalikan dengan mudah. Jikalau saja perasaan adalah sesuatu yang dapat engkau tolak dengan logika. Sayangnya hati adalah makhluk lemah da...

Source: Personal documentation My friend had this crazy unplanned idea to hike Mount Batur. Why do I say it unplanned? As a person who likes to plan everything daysss beforeee the event is going, made a plan only one day before is not my cup of tea. But it's hiking, something that I've been craving myself to do for years! So, without hesitation I take the opportunity right away~ We were a group of 5, three guys and two gals. We started by gathering at one of my friend's house, it was at 3 AM Bali time. Then we headed to Kintamani as we were going to hike Mount Batur. One of my friend (the red shirt guy) drove me there. But thing happened, it was in Kubu area when my friend's (the eye glasses guy) motorbike just broke down! For a second we were worried about our plan, were we going to cancel it? Of course, we weren't going to leave him alone. Team work! Fortunately, we could manage it very well. He asked his brother to bring another motorbike to him. Soon, me and ano...

I had no idea how many times my mom has yelled at me asking me to go out from my quarters ( read: my sweet room ). She liked nagging about this bad habit of me, when I can stay in my room for hours studying and ignoring everything. Well, not my fault. I just got immersed too deeply? Moreover, it altered me from a loving girl into an untouchable woman, totally! It'll need an alarm from my tummy to summon me out and socializing with family again haha. She is a great mother and I know she did it because she was worried. Why? As I tend to skip my meals and sleep time when I'm busy with something. Hence I got tired too easily for doing nothing. This, of course freaking her out. But apparently it took some times before eventually I come into realization how important health is. Peace hehe.😄 And here is the story of how I finally step into a decision of doing workout again, which was a real struggle for me~ I met this great person. He was a random stranger with thoughtful mind. The k...
