dear darren,
seeking path has never been this hard before.
everyone used to watch my back, ready to catch me if i fall.
now i have to stand on my own two feet.
try to find the road that i would never know it is exist.
here with me is a burning candle.
getting shortened in every move i make.
the wind may steal the light in every step i take.
all i can see is an endless tunnel.
it seems longer (more…)
manusia setengah salmon
raditya dika.
he is the only indonesian writer whom i think his books worth buying.
i just got this manusia setengah salmon at a book fair i stopped by on my lunch break.
this is not a review so if you want to know more about this book, go to a book store, grab one and read it.
or just google it and you’ll find an amazing amount of people talking about that.
some people laughed at me when they saw me happily holding this book.
why?
why do people like to laugh at each other while dika gives the best example to laugh at himself that i believe only (more…)
release me
to be captivated no more
in a circle of unbreakable
devilish spells
.
release me
to be chased down no more
in a circle of inevitable
demonic ways
.
tell a lie
so i can believe
once again
.
tell the truth
so i can (more…)
aku tak perlu berharap dilahirkan oleh siapa
atau dibesarkan oleh keluarga mana
karena aku yakin
mereka adalah orang-orang terbaik
pilihan Tuhan
untuk menjagaku, mengasihiku
membuatku lebih berarti
dan menjadi yang paling berarti
dalam hidupku
*baru seminggu di jogja dah kangen rumah
this is it
my special day has come
when nothing seems special
everything is just like it used to be
and i’m still trying to figure out
the meaning of my life
.
a candy bar, a bouquet of flowers, a golden ring
may please me
but every time you put my name (more…)
take a step on the rooftop
when the sun rises
the whole world seems freezing for a moment
then i swirl slowly
take a deep breath
inhale every miracle
capture it in my mind
that’s the moment i feel like
i can reach every dream of mine
.
take a step on the rooftop
when the moon (more…)
too much of me to say you are less
than everyman i’ve ever been with
too soon for me to say you are late
when everything has just been started
.
no matter how hard i try to look at the other side
you’re never really disappeared (more…)
“be your self”
i’m sure that is the most popular quote in the world.
easy to say but not easy to do.
some use it as a weapon. a lethal weapon to kick someone else out of their world.
a friend of mine once said angrily “i’m just trying to be my self. if you don’t like it, just get out of my way!”
i was very shocked. i didn’t know that my feeling or other’s wasn’t important for her.
i couldn’t tell how sad i was to be wiped away from her life just because we didn’t (more…)
saeed is an egyptian. he’s in cairo. i met him on the net over 2 years ago. i don’t really know him and neither do him. perhaps he doesn’t even remember my name. just a chat and some emails wouldn’t be strong enough to be in his memory. but i still remember him very well. his blog inspired me to have one.
once in a while i read his blog. amazingly some of his posts reflect what i feel at the same time. but how come? last time we had in touch was long before he wrote those posts. how could he know what’s on my mind and spill it out in the right way that i wouldn’t even think of? what a coincidence.

febby is an indonesian. she’s in jogja. she’s one my (few) best friends. she was born the day after me. we shared the same house when I was in jogja–now that i’m not there anymore. we have so much in common. she’s as sloppy-messy-careless as i am, yet she’s a nice, fun, and funny girl. she likes to (more…)
