Aging happens to everyone

Happy birthday!
!عيد ميلاد سعيد
Joyeux anniversaire!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag!
สุขสันต์วันเกิด!

Just a bunch of google translate result for 'happy birthday'.
My granny's today! She was born on 1945 so today she is turning 67, correct me if I'm wrong calculating.
Sadly I can't be with her in her birthday because of a course and school things.

I call my grandma 'Andung'
I love her. Too much. Just too much.
I have been growing up along with her since the day mommy gave birth of me.
And I get used to it.
She's the person that makes me remember I have life.
The one who says truth, always do, always will.

She had been living in Pangkalan Brandan, Sumatera Utara for a long time in her kid and teenage life. So she has a unique accent. And she talks in Medan slank words, lol. She's one in a zillion.

She cooks like a professional chef.
Cooking rendang. Tastes like heaven on earth.
Her foods are my favourite, forever and always.

But the only thing I hate in her is, she smokes. Yes, in her 67th years of her life.

Moreover, I love her with all pieces of my heart.
I pray for her to be healthy.
Get a chance from God to be there on my graduation day.
To attend my wedding party.
And to see her grandgrandchildren, my kid. ;p
Happy aging and keep rocking, Andung!

Simple idea about enjoying me-time

I love you, Mr. Holmes!

I said it, I said it, I said it, yes.
I always love the movie! He is totally gorgeous. I wish I had abilities like him.
Have you watched Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows?
Smart, thrilling, marvelous movie. Contains humours. <3

Last week I watched Sherlock Holmes at Djakarta Theater. Alone.
I know most people think going to the movie on your own sounds boring, not interesting, scary, and weird. But I like it. I even need it sometimes. Some rough times. On my solitary moments.

Excuse me, I'm about to give you readers some tips to watch movie at the cinema alone ;)
  1. Make sure you know the place... Well, that was my first coming to Djakarta Theater. Such a shame, I didn't know where the cinema is. And my cocky head kept decide to not asking to anyone. I got lost. And bring us to tip number 2,
  2. In order to avoid people thinking I'm a freak, I pretended to call nobody on the phone while looking for the exact place of the cinema. Always bring your phone, live or die. You can also use your phone to text a friend or just playing so you have something to do.
  3. For me, I need to bring something to keep me busy while waiting. I hate waiting without any activities to do. So I brought a novel which I was currently reading that time. Titled 2 by Donny Dhirgantoro.
    Good one. For those who needs motivation, hardly recommended.
  4. Pick the seat carefully. Actually, this is one disadvantage of watching movie alone in the cinema. You'll never know who you're sitting beside. I was sitting between a lovebird couple and an old man. The couple made me feel awkward and the oldman couldn't stop his cough along the film. But over all, I had a great time being a solitude person.
"Nothing to do, nowhere to be
A simple little kind of free
Nothing to do, no one but me
And that's all I need"

HAPPY WATCHING! ENJOY YOUR ME-TIME!:D

Welcome back to reality, daydreamer!

End of the gloomy holiday.
School had started today.
I don't know rather be sad or happy about it.
I need holiday, but not this kind. I need real holiday, a good vacation, a trip to somewhere, lovely people, and time to be enjoyed, nothing to worry about.

Disappearing out town sounds really tempting these days...

But face it. Holiday was over! School starts!

To be honest, I was looking forward for the holiday to be over. Cloudy days here.. Both outside and inside. Not really enjoying this holiday, surely. I only spent time for dvds, novels, streaming tv series, and browsing allll daaay looong. Actually at January 2nd and 3rd I went across the town, to Bandung. At first me and my mother didn't want to stay for 2 days, so we planned to go home just in the night. But things happened, and we both ended up staying until the day after. Without bringing even shirt to change!

So yes, .....we shopped. ~(‘▽’~) (~’▽’)~
A TOTAL REBORN FOR ME.
That's all I did. Shop, shop, shop. Then go home at 9AM the next morning.

Well today, first day at school. I felt fresh this morning. I don't know.
Lyrics all in my head was the song from The Script newest album Science&Faith. Yesss I'm so into Science&Faith recently.

"When's the day you start again
And when the hell does you'll get over it begin
I'm looking hard in the mirror
But I don't fit my skin
It's too much to take
It's too hard to break me
From the cell I'm in
Oh from this moment on
I'm changing the way I feel yeah
From this moment on
It's time to get real"

Right it's time to get real.
After all the surrealism..
Dreaming more over the fact.
Painful, sometimes.
Then I tried to move on with my life.
And figured out it's hard.

"Cause I still don't know how to act
Don't know what to say
Still wear the scars like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone
But I still don't know where to start, still finding my way
Still talk about you like it was yesterday
But you're long gone and moved on
But you're long gone, you moved on"

What makes it that hard?
Might be time, might be situation, might be me.
So, I'll just go along with it.
Don't force myself, let the wind blow.

"No I can't keep thinking that you're coming back
No
Cause I got no business knowing where you're at
No
And it's gonna be hard yeah
Cause I have to wanna heal yeah
And it's gonna be hard yeah
The way I feel that I have to get real"
(Long Gone and Moved On - The Script)

Being busy will help.
Who knows maybe this shits will bring me up to the beautiful glory of getting into college I want.
Bytheway I'm on the last term of senior year.
I'm going to college this year and willing to take Medical Faculty in Padjajaran University, Bandung.
Will be so thankful if you guys want to pray for me, then :D

I'll pray for you too.
Yes,

So you sailed away, into a grey sky morning...

I've changed my blog's profile picture.
God damn.
Since I have not touched this site for quite a year or more, I didn't care, didn't even remember that Blogger got profile picture of every user. And I made the previous photo as my profilepict in 2008. I thought it was cute. Effin crazy.

And now I'm using a photo of me, taken by my friend Tya on 26th of June 2011. The Green Lantern hoodie I wore belongs to... my friend whom in that day was celebrating his birthday. His 16th birthday. I just threw a surprise coming to his house.

A fail surprise.
With a fail birthday cake.
Became a beautiful sunny sunday.

Cute kittens we were playing with.
Hot chicken soup we were having for brunch.
Comedy movies we were laughing at.
Precious time we were wasting together.
Messages and phonecalls we were ignoring.

"Just put the status to busy.", our ego said.

How can I remember the sound of your breaths?
How can I remember every whispers?
How can I remember?
How can I?
How?
"But it's not so bad
You're only the best I ever had
You don't want me back
You're just the best I ever had"
(Vertical Horizon - Best I Ever Had)
Well, so far.
Trashy note i left at the board in his room.

When is the day I look back, reminisce, and smile? No mindfuck, just smile. No pain, no hurt, just smile.
I'm looking forward.

A class of explosive pyrotechnic devices used for aesthetic and entertainment purposes

The wiki definition for fireworks.
Pretty human invention, the only reason hopeless people stay awake on NYE.

I prefer dancing in the fireworks light instead of the moonlight.
I prefer being kissed under the fireworks instead of the rain.
I prefer laying under the fireworks instead of the stars.
I prefer waiting for the fireworks instead of the sunset.
I prefer being-so-sleepy-but-i-don't-care-i-want-to-see fireworks instead of the sunrise.

I love how fireworks create a splash of beautiful colour that comes in one explode. I love how fireworks can impress me even for the 17th times NYE i've ever been in my life. Bests fireworks parties for me was on NYE 2000, 2010, and 2011.

NYE 2000:
Party with the neighbors. The 6 years old me stay up until 4 in the morning for the first time in my life. We lighted up fireworks, petasan, mercon, etc. The kids played hide-and-seek in the middle of the night till the parents got mad. Sure we could be kidnapped by an alien, like adults always told us.

NYE 2010:
Singapore. Got room with the best view for fireworks party at Esplanade. Sooo marvelous. I thought the fireworks gonna come closer to us while seeing them exploded.
--> Just me and the fail photograph of fireworks.

NYE 2011:
On the rooftop of my friend's house, Reyhan. We could see fireworks from everywhere around. Damnly beautiful. And when his father lighted up the fireworks from that rooftop, we all laid and saw the infinite sky up there, then the fireworks exploded right above us, felt like they were raining us with colours and flame. Undescribable feeling.
We laid down like:
And the sky above were like:

And here I am now, 2012. The fckn 2012.
What my mind all about is the picture I saw hours ago. Then what Keara once said in Antologi Rasa popped,"I can never win this, can I?"
This, John Mayer called it The Heartbreak Warfare.
And I'm a sucker in the battlefield.
''And I hurt so bad, that I search my skin
For the entry point, where love went in
And ricoshad and bounced around
And left a hole, when you walked out''
(Exit Wounds - The Script)

Well then, welcome 2012.
