  • some people are just ignorant enough to steal

    What’s with these people on Facebook? Remember this post? I made that one because there was a girl putting my writing as her Facebook status without crediting me as the author. She never apologises. And last night, I found someone reposting my best friend, Mijra’s note. This girl just copied and pasted Mijra’s note and put a new title. That’s it. No addition, no omission.

    Shame on her!

    After getting comments from Mijra, she deleted the note. The good thing is she sent Mijra a message and apologised.

    Seriously, people. Be creative! Don’t steal anybody’s works. If you like the works so much, you can actually ask the original author for permission to repost. Or at least put a backlink to the author, give them some credit. Do NOT steal! You wouldn’t like it if someone stole YOUR works, right?

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • my dad

    When I was little, Dad used to take me on trips to various places. He always had time for his family. He went to work at 7 am and came home at 4 pm. Sometimes he worked overtime, but he was always home on weekends. Weekends were our family time.

    My 1st birthday

    At Ciwidey when I was 6

    At Sabuga when I was 8

    When I was 9, my little sister was born. Dad got a promotion and he became busier since then. He goes to work at 6 am and comes home late at night, sometimes around midnight. And what’s worse is that he also works on weekends. We never have the time to go on trips anymore. My poor little sister never gets the chance to go to the places where Dad took me years ago. He’s very busy. Sometimes he takes his works home, like last night.

    Last night

    Growing up with a busy parent is hard. It would be much harder if Mum was busy too, but thankfully, my mum is a full time stay-at-home-mum. Everytime I come home, Mum is always there to greet me. We’re not really close, but she’s always there. I can’t imagine what I would become if she was busy too.

    That is why I want to be a housewife after I get married. I want to watch my kids grow up. I don’t want to miss any moment. I looked at Dad’s face this morning and I realised how old he had become. Maybe Dad looked at me too and realised how much I’d grown up. It’s sad to see how much we’ve missed. He didn’t attend all my graduation days through my school years. On my 19th birthday, he texted me to say happy birthday because he had left for work before I even woke up.

    I’m not blaming him. He’s busy because he has a family to feed. He is wonderful. He never complains even a single sigh. I love him with all my heart, even though I never hug nor kiss him. Sometimes I cry before I sleep, thinking of how much he has given me.

    Dad, I know I never show it, but please keep in mind that I love you. Very much. Please don’t push yourself too hard. Take a rest. Take a deep breath every now and then. When you’re ill, please take the medicine and stop being so stubborn. Listen to what Mum says, cause all she wants is for you to be okay. We love you. We really, really love you.

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • i’m gonna make you fall in love with me

    Again.

    And this time, it will be right. Without any sorry. Without any pity. Just love.

    I’m gonna make it real this time.

    Sincerely,
    Putdar.

  • summer afternoon: a mixtape by putdar

    Hi! Sorry for the lack of new posts. There was a huge thing happened to my life yesterday. It might bring some big changes in my life, and it might affect this blog, too. So, I guess I’m taking a break for a few days from the blogosphere. I’ll still be available on other social media, though. You could also send me an email if you want. And before I go, here’s a mixtape I made a few days ago to accompany you while I’m away. I hope I could be back as soon as possible. See you! 🙂

    PPS. The link only works for two weeks from now.

  • 5 random things you might be interested in

    1. Have I told you that Mr Boyfriend flew to Makassar on the same day I went to Jakarta?

    He will be there for 10 days. It’s been 3 days and I already miss him 🙁

    2. I was a bridesmaid at my cousin’s wedding yesterday

    You know some girls look prettier with their make up on. Well, I’m not one of them. I looked like a scary old lady who eats babies to stay alive. I guess I’ll just stick with my eyeliner.

    3. The package from All Things Chula arrived today

    A few weeks ago, Heather from Lilac & Lace held a blog party with a lot of giveaways. I won one of them and these pretty butterflies are mine now 🙂

    4. I went to Madtari with the dudes and dudettes from BlowUP! this afternoon

    I ordered this… thing. It was supposed to be a bowl of instant fried noodle with cheese, corned beef, and fried egg. But then it turned out to be a bowl of CHEESE with instant fried noodle, corned beef, and fried egg. I still don’t know how Afief managed to finish his meal.

    5. This was the very first thing I saw when I opened my Tumblr dashboard
