  • “Ibu-ibu”

    Kemarin gue memutuskan untuk make kaos warna krem entah-milik-siapa yang secara ajaib ada di lemari gue sejak berbulan-bulan yang lalu. Kaos itu bahannya agak tipis dan see through; itulah kenapa selama ini gue males nyobainnya. Tapi kemarin gue mau main Pump sama A, dan kaos ini + manset + rok nampak seperti kombinasi yang pas.

    As soon as I dressed up, my phone rang.

    “Halo, dengan Ibu Putri Dara yang berlangganan Indovision? Saya Rahma, Bu. Mau menawarkan program baru…”

    Pembicaraan itu berlangsung super singkat karna gue emang gak minat ikutan program apa-apa. (Gue udah cukup bahagia bisa nonton CSI di Fox Crime dan New Girl di AXN.) Tapi pembicaraan singkat itu menimbulkan kesan di otak gue: Gue harus membiasakan diri dipanggil “ibu”. Gue gak akan selamanya jadi cewek muda seksi bergairah kan?

    Gue berangkat dan ketemu A. Sebelum main Pump, dia minta anter beli sepatu dulu. Kami keliling sebuah department store di Ciwalk, milih-milih sepatu untuk A. Dia nemu satu model sepatu yang dia suka. Dan ketika kami lagi nunggu pegawai dept store itu nyari sepatu dengan ukuran yang pas, A ngeliatin gue dan bilang:

    “Kamu udah cocok jadi ibu-ibu.”

    “What?”

    “Maaf ya?”

    “Maaf kenapa?”

    “Maaf aku belum ngelamar kamu.”

    Perhaps I should really start referring myself as “Bu Putri Dara”.

  • 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!

  • City versus Chelsea

    It was Super Sunday in English Premier League. A and I decided to go to Clio Cafe to watch the big match between Manchester City versus Chelsea together with both team’s supporters club. However, since I am Cinderella, we had to leave on the break time between the first and the second half-time. Chelsea also lost 2-0. But the interesting part in watching football matches together with the supporters clubs was the chants war. I had fun for the full 45 minutes.

    And of course, A wore his team, Bayern Munchen.

  • And it’s perfectly fine.

    Life’s been quite confusing lately, well at least at this part of the world where I’m living in. I’ve been torn in between “Oh I need to hold his hands right now!” and “His work shouldn’t be interrupted by my demanding voice at all.” Surely we all want to be there whenever our loved ones are in a stressful condition, but there are also times that it’s best if we just leave them alone and give them some space, some room to breathe. Or move. Or work, come to think of that. I’ve never been that kind of girl who can be really reasonable, understanding, and supportive to her boyfriend, but of course I should try to be. I have to.

    Because whatever it is he’s going through right now, the result may not be for his own only. It may be for mine too.

  • A Valentine’s Day Mixtape

    I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day, but I guess it’s still okay for me to share my favourite love songs. So, ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you… *drum roll*

    (Link only works for two weeks)

    The cover artwork is crappy, I know. But, hey! It’s my own handwriting, yo. There is one song in Indonesian and one song in Korean (FYI, I’m not into the K-Pop trend. That song is a guilty pleasure for me.) I hope you enjoy the songs as much as I do. Have a nice weekend from me and A! 🙂

    I love this guy
