Category: my day

  • Welcoming a new family member.

    So, my future career as a crazy cat lady has officialy begun, as yesterday I brought home a 4-month-old cat. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Miss Molly:

    I am yet to take better pictures using a proper camera. Those are taken from my Instagram (follow @DarlaOct!).

    And yes, that last picture is Miss Molly messing around with my laptop and watching One Direction’s video for What Makes You Beautiful. I have a Directioner cat!

  • I hate being a girl.

    Let’s take a break in this beautiful Thursday morning for a while to talk about how I hate being a girl, shall we?

    Of course all of you girls may hit me with thousands of argument on how wrong I am and how I should really love being a girl. Yes, my fellow girl friends… Yes. I absolutely enjoy being a girl. I can wear cute skirts and pretty shoes and put on colourful make up. I enjoy gossiping, shopping (and windows shopping too, come to think of that), watching chick flick, reading chicklit, et cetera. Don’t get me wrong. I do enjoy being a girl.

    But there’s one thing I really, really hate in being a girl: menstrual pain. Isn’t it the worst? Ugh!

    Every time I’m on my period, I get stomach cramp and my whole body aches. My mood goes very, very bad; every single thing seems wrong and every single person I deal with seems as annoying as that itch on your back that you can barely scratch. I even want to yell at some people who ask me “What’s wrong?” Just. Leave. Me. Alone. Ugh!

    And yesterday, while browsing Tumblr for some things that might cheer me up a bit, I found these:

    “Get yourself a soft, squishy friend to hug when your real ovaries are wreaking havoc on your body!” I don’t know what to feel about these stuffs 😐

  • Currently

    Have you ever gone to a place and then totally forgot why you’re even there? I’m feeling it right now. I’m in my college’s central library and totally forget why I’m here in the first place. This is weird and I thought I couldn’t be weirder. So I decided to post that bucket list I talked about last night. Here it is. It’s that simple. And weird.

    Do you have a bucket list too on your blog? Share the link in the comment box. I’d like to visit it 😉

    Now back again to thinking and wondering what I should be doing now.

  • I’m back!

    Yes, I finally am!

    After spending 39 days in the service, a brief time in Bandung, and one week in Lampung, I’m finally back to blogging again. There’s so much I want to share that I can’t even remember each one of it. So sorry that I can’t tell you the full story here, but hey at least I’m back again! Haha

    That was the picture of my sister that I took on the boat when we went back home from Lampung last week. Let’s take a brief moment to talk about how I envy her short hair. I used to have that same haircut, but now I have to keep it long since I’m wearing hijab and it would be a little bit troublesome if my hair was short. So sad 🙁

    And that was a new book I bought last Saturday. The title is The Geography of Bliss. I’m trying to read at least one book a month. It’s on my bucket list (which will be shared soon in this blog).

    The new semester will start this coming Monday and I’m so excited about it. Let’s hope that I don’t mess anything up now that it should be my final year in college. (If I messed up, I would have to take an additional semester next year, making this year not my final year. Dear God, no.)

    I love you!!!

  • a time machine

    Hello! I just got back to the present after travelling back in time. LOL JK. I went to an old cinema in Garut downtown with May and AF today because we were bored. And by ‘old’, I mean ‘reaaaaaally old’. Look at these pictures:

    There were only two films being played there. One was Mama Minta Pulsa (a horror film) and the other was Broken Hearts (a drama), both were old films that aren’t played in Bandung anymore. We chose Broken Hearts because we didn’t think Mama Minta Pulsa was a good film (it’s Indonesian horror film. Haha!) The ticket price was only IDR 8K, can you believe it? 😀
