"Underneath my outside face
There's a face that none can see
A little less smiley,
A little less sure,
But a whole lot more like me."

To: Someone I've Been Longing To Meet

Dear Someone I've Been Longing To Meet, I never knew what's exactly perfect to start a letter. "Hi" is too mainstream. What's worse is, i am also always confused about what to write, what to tell, after i say "Hi". I always want something different, but could never really figure out to start a letter with another word but... Hi. Before you scroll your eyes further, let me warn you that, this letter, might not only tacky, but might also sound un-understandable. I have this problem with combining words. I want to write good, beautiful letter to you, but if it sounds weird instead, i am sorry. What you really have to know is, i write this with all the love left. Should be studying physics by now, but i think of you instead. Who are you, maaan? Are you someone i already know, but you never really show it off? Or are you one of the people i met in the crowded place? Oh, or are you a total stranger i will meet just later? Where are you? Are you in so...

One Sane Winter Coffee

There is nothing much preferably done in winter than waking up between 11 to 12 AM to a warm cup of coffee without thinking it as one of the greatest guilty pleasures in life.  To be sorry is a very humble thing, but I wonder if it's at all necessary. To never feel sorry or to never having to say sorry might very well be a good challenge to take on as a new year resolution, which comes soon enough to be pressure. It might not be as hard if you just hear it once, but to never have to say "sorry" requires you to be always right and to be always right means not more than to never do wrong and there are two ways to never do wrong in life: 1. To behave just exactly the way society expects you to behave 2. To never regret every little detail that you decide to do The latest one has somehow made its way to be "in" nowadays, mostly in the West. I personally think that this is a beautiful way to live the life. Nevertheless, a tricky one because we tend to forget the reas...

Selebrasi Ulang Tahun ke-19; Jalan-Jalan Ke Baduy

Image
Ulang tahun berasa makin cepet tiap tahunnya. Rasanya baru banget kemarin ulang tahun ketiga dirayain tumpengan sama temen-temen di rumah Bandung, tiba-tiba dibilang “remaja” aja udah ga pantes lagi. I am a young-adult and officially legal!   Semoga bisa menjadi manusia yang lebih dewasa dalam kesehariannya (dewasa itu apa ya), dan semoga bisa lebih handal menyeimbangkan kemampuan melepas dan menerima banyak hal yang ditawarkan semesta. Kalau bisa tercapai, mungkin itu bakal lebih baik daripada mendapat perayaan atau kejutan selamat ulang tahun dari yang tak terduga.  Omong-omong soal perayaan, perayaan ulang tahun kali ini mungkin adalah salah satu yang terbaik, walaupun nggak ada kue, tumpeng, atau kado yang berlimpah. Bahkan ucapan selamat ulang tahun yang didapat, nggak sebanyak tahun-tahun sebelumnya. Tapi apa artinya ucapan, kue, tumpeng, dan kado yang berlimpah, tanpa ibu yang memperjuangkanku 19 tahun lalu. Kalau ada yang perlu diucapkan di hari ulang tahun...
