  • Tofu Teriyaki for A’s Lunch

    On Monday, A started his very first job as a programmer in a game development company. It’s a big change for both of us, as we usually spend our day together. Now that he works a 9-to-5 job, we won’t be able to have lunch together as often as we did do.

    Today, I decided to come to his workplace and bring him lunch. I made Tofu Teriyaki (a simple recipe I’ve pinned to this Pinterest board) and put it into a lunchbox together with some rice. It looks just like this:

    Not really appealing, I know…

    And this is his response:

    I’m not an expert in cooking. I’ve just started learning to cook. But this sweet words from him really made me happy and encouraged to keep learning. Perhaps I will cook him lunch every Wednesday? 😉

  • Chosen

    “It wouldn’t change a thing.”

    “Well, it did change me.”

    “You didn’t change.”

    “My mind did.”

    There was one time, November 2011, when I felt like I was on the edge of an ultimate break down. I decided, then, to board a train to Jakarta all by myself. Perhaps running away is the only thing I’m good at. This is perhaps what I’m doing right now: running away. Maybe someday I would finally have the guts to tell you the reasons why I am who I am today. But as for now, let me tell you this instead:

    Yesterday, I got super angry at somebody’s tweet. They clearly talked about me, as it had my nick name in it, and it was a bad talk. I got super angry, but I didn’t rant back in Twitter. Instead, I texted A. I let it out on him in ALL CAPS. I told him that if I would, I could make their life more miserable.

    “There’s something you could do to make them feel worthless: be happy.”

    “I’ve chosen you.”

    “Everybody knows that I’ve chosen you.”

    Then I told myself, “I am happy. I am loved. I am chosen.”

    Just right then, I’m good again.

  • A + D

    A few days ago, I said here that A and I finally did a photoshoot sesh in a proper studio. Above are the results. He didn’t feel too excited about the first photo, though. He said he looked insincere. I myself didn’t feel excited about the second one because… oh my, look at those cheeks!

    But we sure as hell make a cute couple.

  • Life Lately

    Hi! Just stopping by to share some updates in my life recently. After some silly posts telling you all about what’s going on in my mind, let me tell you now what’s going on in my life.

    Remember the student teaching program that I told you two months ago? The programme is supposed to last until May, but it looks like mine will only last until early April. Good to know that I would get some spare time to revise my final paper proposal and submit it in time. I can’t afford being late and not being able to submit it again. No way!

    And today, my boyfriend and I decided to (finally) do a photoshoot sesh in a proper studio. The result will come out on the coming Monday, so I’ll share it here later.

    Now, how’s your life lately?

  • If I Knew Then


    I was still 19 and you were 21. Funny how at first I couldn’t even remember your name. I just remembered you as ‘that guy who also comes from Lampung’. But I’m glad that we had some pictures taken on the first day that we met. Now I’m 21 and you’re almost 23 (next month!). It gets even funnier, now that your name is the first thing that comes to my mind when I wake up in the morning. I can’t technically say that I come from Lampung, but who knows that Lampung may be the same place we’ll call home.

    I love you, A. I wonder if we had really met when we were in junior high, would we be together like we are right now?
