  • Roadtrip to Jakarta

    You know that some people (or somebody?) say that the cure for a broken heart is salt water: tears, sweat, or the sea. I’d like to add that beside salt water, a roadtrip also cures the pain. I had both on Saturday.

     
    Vicky and I had been talking about taking a roadtrip since two weeks ago. There were two plans back then: Jakarta or Cianjur. Since Vicky never drove too far from Bandung, the two options were the only possible destinations. We decided to choose Jakarta and go to Ancol beach. We also asked Irma to join us and so on Saturday morning, we went on our very first roadtrip.

     
     
    The road to Ancol was not very packed, as it was highway all the way there. There was only some traffic jam in the tollgates, but other than that, it was just fun. We arrived in Ancol at around 11am. We only spent two hours there, taking pictures and sitting around. We went home at 1pm because we had to be home by dusk.

    This was really fun. We should do this more often.

    PS. Thank you very much for all the loves for Billy. I don’t believe in pet heaven or the like, but I’m sure all the good souls will go to a better place when they leave this world. Thank you very much. It makes me feel better to know that he is loved even after he is gone.

  • Last Week in a Nutshell

    The whole last week was cray, cray. I had four day-offs due to the National Examination yet I didn’t have time to blog anything because as soon as I came home, I passed out in bed. But last week was fun fun fun!

    Tuesday
    On Tuesday, we went to Dunia Fantasi. It had been 10 years since the last time I went there. A lot of things had changed, including the line in every ride. We spent almost 1.5 hour waiting in a line to try the phenomenal ride Hysteria. And then we spent another 1.5 hour waiting in a line in McDonald’s to get our lunch. We ended up going home after having lunch since we’d got our ticket back home and we didn’t want to miss the train. But it was fun, though. It was the first time we went out of town together.
    Wednesday
    Wednesday was the graduation day for some of our seniors. Attending their graduation day boosted up our willingness to finish our final paper as soon as possible. Haha!
    Saturday
    A had his 23rd birthday on Thursday. I gave him a little surprise by coming to his place early in the morning, bringing one gift for his birthday and another one for our anniversay (which was on the same day). But the surprise wasn’t over yet, as I brought him a birthday cake (plus the unblowable candles) on Saturday. We had a good laugh for about 1 minute and 20 seconds as he tried (so hard) to blow the unblowable candles. He made it, though. Happy birthday, My Darling A! 🙂

  • Sunday (and a Few Thoughts on Being M.I.A.)

    honeybees

    It was a perfect Sunday. I got to see my girls in the morning, had brunch together, had a photobooth sesh, and talked about a lot of things. Velentina and I are student teaching in the same school, whilst Lianisya and Diana are student teaching in another school, so there were a lot of things to catch up with.

    And as if that was not amazing enough, in the afternoon, I got to see my boy too. We had a small pizza together and went to play PIU game. He went to Cirebon yesterday, so we only got to spend a brief time on Saturday night. Thus, today we made it up by spending the whole afternoon together.

    I’m currently trying to catch up with my blog readers. I’ve been missing every now and then since months ago. Let’s just say that I’m finally facing blogger’s block once again. I don’t quite know what to write, partly because my life has been kinda boring lately. It has been the same routine over and over again: wake up, dress up, go to school, teach a class or two, go to see my boy/tutor a student/go to a meeting, go home, and fall asleep.

    But I’ve never gone too far from here. I’m still available on Twitter, though. Oh and Instagram too. So, if you miss me (as if!), you can follow my Twitter or my Instagram.

    I still love you guys!

  • Friends

    These people are the ones I’ve spent my latest 3,5 years with. And it breaks my heart to say that this might be the last time we took pictures like this.

  • These friends are golden.

    Let’s spend a minute just to talk about how thankful I am for having these girls as my best friends. I keep drifting away from them every now and then, but they’re always there for me whenever I’m in need of anything. I love them very much.

    PS. Ian just started wearing hijab yesterday. How wonderful could it be? 🙂
