  • Well hello there, 2013!

    2012 was quite a roller coaster ride for me personally. The apocalypse might have been canceled (LOL yeah…) but, as Diana once said, the world really ended at 2012 for me. I hit my low in the middle of May, got back on my feet again in June, only to hit a new low in September. Things changed at that moment, and I’m not sure if I will ever be whole again.

    One of the things that changed in September is how I see the noun ‘life’. I’ve become even more pessimistic than I had ever been all my life. So, I don’t expect anything in 2013 other than to start (and finish) my final paper and get my bachelor degree in December.

    Anyhow, I spent the new year’s eve with my amazing boyfriend (did I just use the word ‘amazing’ to describe him?) and four friends. We cooked spaghetti and then went to Pasupati highway in the middle of the night to see the firework party. At 2am we came back to Arif’s place and watch Shutter, but didn’t finish it because we passed out one by one.

    It was a one night well spent 🙂

    Happy new year from the boy and me!

  • 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.

  • Oh nostalgia!

    If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you might’ve seen that a few weeks ago I posted tons of old anime songs (with Indonesian dub) I found on YouTube. From all the videos I shared, this one is my favourite. It’s the closing theme of Mojacko, a series about a boy who befriends aliens. It was aired when I was still in elementary school. This song is very catchy and the singer’s voice is also good, unlike most of the other songs’ singers.

    This is the Indonesian dubbed version:


    This is the original version:


    Good, isn’t it? What do you think? Do you know this anime series?

  • ode to the heart

    Situ Cangkuang, Garut. 19 May 2012.

    Here’s to the girls who are strong enough to let go. Here’s to those who are brave enough to leave a relationship that’s not working (anymore). It’s okay to cry, and it’s okay not to cry. You will be okay, maybe not today, but eventually. He might be a prince charming, but prince charmings are for helpless princesses. You are strong and you are brave; you deserve a knight in shining armour who will fight for you. Surely, memories of him are killing you slowly. You want to forget but that’s not how it works. You can’t forget memories; you can only prevent them from popping out every now and then. Create new memories, go on road trips, join new clubs. Most of all, go on with your life. Stop perusing your timeline to see if he recently tweets something. Stop visiting his profile page to see how he’s doing. It doesn’t matter anymore. Focus on yourself. You’ve spent two years and a half to take care of him; now it’s time for you to take care of yourself. Don’t worry (too much). Remember this: you are loved. Someone else out there is thinking about you and trying to find you as soon as possible. Take your time. Don’t force yourself. Time will eventually heal the wound.

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

    I first saw Hilary Duff in Lizzie McGuire when I was in junior high school. I instantly fell in love with the show because it really fit my life back then. Hilary Duff was still a teenager with small boobs and cute fringe. She was my first Hollywood girl crush. Her album, Metamorphosis, was the very first cassette I bought. She was sixteen and I was twelve.

    Eight years since then, she is married and just gave birth to her first son. Oh how time flies by. Congratulations, Hilary! I’m sure you’re gonna be a great mum. I will always be your hard fan. 🙂

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.
