Hi.


I decide to open this blog after I saw a blog that super lovely yet so well-written. Everytime I read a blog that well written I always remember how awful this blog is. This blog is already 5 years old, if it was a kid, it already know how to walk and speak. Sometimes, I wish this blog was as well written as any other well written blog I've read. Most of them are so beautiful, even though it just the post about their daily life. Probably that's what the power of words is.

I want to talk a lot in this entry even though it's 12.14 am and I have morning class today. So I decide to take my time to 'time-travel' through this blog. I read some of my old entries when I was in middle school or high school. After reading those posts I realize how much I've grown through this 5 years. I could see them by my writtings. I use to be a girl-next-door type on middle school that mostly talk about happy or funny things in my life in this blog. I was so naive about my writtings and I don't really care what people think of them. And then come high school. I barely write anymore because I'm too busy taking care of my oh-so-depressing life. And then, I am now in college. Time goes so fast, isn't it?

Now I'm majoring computer science in a private university in Jakarta. I've burried my dream as an architect a long long time ago. College went, well, it's good, but it's not bad either. But I still want my middle school years back because somehow, I left my soul in middle school. It still hard for me that I no longer wear white and dark blue uniform. Because believe me, I would do anything to go back to 2008 again, the first day I start middle school.

Now I am just a mess. Being teenager-borderline-adult (or whatever you called it) it's super hard. Life is tough. Really tough. This is really tough that I don't know if I could handle 'real life' in the future because honestly, right now, I'm super exhausted with everything. And the worst thing is everytime I feel exhausted I kept remembering my middle school year and it actually didn't help at all. It just makes me sadder. Some nights, I pray that I will become 12 years old again. You know what being 12 years old for me? It feels like I was born for the second time. When I was 12 years old, I saw the world for the first time. I saw how great this world is. Everything was made by rainbow and sunshine and flowers. It's always sunny in my life. A new day means new opportunity for me to make a new friends. Or found a new place. Or found a delicious food. 12 years old me is the first time I feel the real taste of friendship. Real friendship. Because I still best friend with almost all the people I know when I was 12 years old. Middle school was a whole new world for me. I got my very first real problem in middle school. I went somewhere that super far away from my home that I came home late and my father was really mad at me that time. I met my best friend for the first time just because of a textbook. I hate Mondays because most people hate it too so must be cool to hate them. I met my online friends. And many more.

Years by years, everything starts to become darker, the flowers stop growing, there's no more sunny days in my life, it's raining hard everyday, there's no more rainbow. No more happy things. Everything starts becoming grey, there's no color except grey. Life starts become dull and repetitive. I don't feel passionate about learning new things anymore. Life starts becoming an empty dark room for me with nothing inside and I just wandering all my life inside of it, looking for the exit door.

I know you probably think that I'm weird. Or my life was weird because the way I describe them above. You know, I wrote a lot of weird things in my life. But I prefer not to post it and I have a diary. Yes. A real diary. Because writting in paper with the real ink makes me feel limitless. I could write anything what's inside my head. I could write my wildest, darkest, dirtiest fantasies. I could write ANYTHING about people that I don't like without hurting or backstabbing anybody. Paper and ink always be my best friend.

Anyway, I don't fangirl about boybands anymore. I felt so hurt after my ultimate favorite idol left his group. I remember I cried all day long like fool that day. I lost friends too after that accident. Because, you know, we feel like we don't go to the same way again so we didn't talk anymore. Not to mention people change. I change. They become more mature. But I can't keep up with them because I am stuck in my 12 years old mind. I won't forget people who's used to be my friends, even though they don't feel like talking to me anymore. Because, you know, they don't want to talk or jokes like we used to do it back then. Because they think it was childish. I was childish. Because as people starts to become 'mature', we can't joke with them anymore. Because they are MATURE and some people think mature people don't make jokes anymore. I am childish. I am so fucking childish that I don't give a single shit what people think at me. Because being mature sucks and I lost most of the people I love in my life just because they are already mature. Yes, I am throwing this shade at everyone about this.

Life sucks or not, I think it's just the way how your perceive it. My life was bad but I think it could get worst in the future. It really is. So I better get ready because I'm going to lose more people I know in the future. Or maybe I could be dead before I turned 25. I don't know. Nobody knows.

Long live ballad!
Friday, September 13, 2013

I listen to any kind of music, but most of them are Indie bands or singers. Instead of Indie, I listen of ballad too. Probably some of you thinks that ballad means 'lagu galau dan menye-menye' and probably like 98% of teenagers these days start crying when they heard ballad song. I mostly don't cry when I listen to ballad, but some of these ballad are superduper awesome that I can cry for straight 3 days after I listened to them. *lebay*


I still get confused to tell the difference between ballad itself and sad song. So, here's the explanation:

bal·lad
ˈbaləd/
noun
noun: ballad; plural noun: ballads
  1. 1.
    a poem or song narrating a story in short stanzas. Traditional ballads are typically of unknown authorship, having been passed on orally from one generation to the next as part of the folk culture.
    • a slow sentimental or romantic song.









But some of these songs I'm going to post are the best ballad I've ever heard so far (if all of them can considered as ballad).

Instead of studying, I've been a twitter-whore (or twitter-addict?) for these past 2 or 3 months. Even I have an album titled #TWITTERMADNESS (yes, with the hashtag) on my phone with hundreds screencapture of hilarious tweets I found on twitter. It begins on one night I couldn't sleep and I started to 'ngepoin' my followings' tweets in my second account. And I found a lot of comedy twitter and they're pretty hilarious. And I've been doing this every night. I'm gonna share some of my favorite tweets under the 'read more' below.

Hi guys.


Just wanna tell you that I really miss writing on this space. I wish I had more time to keep this blog updated. I barely can write anymore because of I've been really busy with school stuffs and a lot of homeworks. It's been such a hectic year for me so far.


I will go to college (hopefully) next year and I'm planning to go to Architecture in University of Indonesia. So, I'm working really hard on it and please pray for me. Your prayers mean a lot to me.

I had this blog for a quite long time. The first post I wrote is when I'm still in 7th grade. I still remember I forgot to take the change from 'tukang bakmi ayam' in my school cafetaria and I really pissed about it because it such a quite big amount of money for me on that time. I read that post again I can help but laugh. It was so funny when you read again in few years.


I also wrote about my loveliest Plurk friends (yes, you guys are lovely for me. Believe me) it was such an amazing experience having  friends like you guys even I can't keep in touch with all of you since some of you are trying to keep a distance from me but I'm really glad that most of you still contact me via twitter or using other social networking so we still can have our 'bejat' moment.


And I wrote about my middle school friends a lot here. About the first day we met each other. About everything silly we did at school those days, about stupid thing we did together. About the day when we graduate. About the day when we separated. About how hurt I am when  I couldn't see you again everyday like I used to. I wish I could turn back time and  cherish that moment.


And yes, I also wrote about when I'm in high school. How I have to struggle for the entire first year in high school because I can't adapt with everyone around me. But it went better when I got in 11th grade and now I'm in 12th grade.


And about the sad-yet-galau stuffs I wrote here. Or just sad lyrics. Or just sad songs with sad music videos. Or I just wrote about my elementary school crush which I still can't get over him until today (I don't like him anymore, but still....) or just random stupid things I hear in public places or school, yeah, I wrote about that things, too.


And a lot, lot of things about my favorite idols, I've been in a lot of fandom in few years. I just wanna tell to all my biases, I love ALL OF YOU, you guys mean something in every pieces of my teenage years. I'm really grateful to have biases like you guys because you're such an inspiring individuals for me. And help me through a lot of my problems. You guys are the ones I always loved.


I'm so happy that I will be 17th years old this October. It means I can get an identity card, driving license, and I can participate in election next year. And even I can FINALLY legally go to a club (that's excite me the most, honestly, haha...)


But the most important thing, I'm trying get into public university next year. But I'm sure I can get accepted in Architecture in University of Indonesia. I really, really, really do.


Just keep the fingers crossed.

I want my middle school life back.

I want my 8 hours of sleep back.

I want all of my elementary school back.

I'm sick of feeling I'm not good enough.

I always feel absolutely worthless.

Some days, I feel everything at once.

Other days, I feel nothing at all.

I don't know what's worse:

Drowning beneath the waves

Or dying from the thirst.

❝No one laughs at God in a hospital
No one laughs at God in a war
No one’s laughing at God
When they’re starving or freezing or so very poor

(....)

No one laughs at God
When their airplane start to uncontrollably shake
No one’s laughing at God
When they see the one they love, hand in hand with someone else
And they hope that they’re mistaken.

I would like to show you this letter, but I guess, we will never meet each other again.

I have to tell you about this, please don't be surprised or something like that, ok?

Do you remember me? The girl who sat next to you in 6th grader. We talked about Naruto and Bleach every single day for the entire year even until we graduated. And accidentally, I told you that I like being your friend and, actually, I have a little crush on you but you didn't notice. It's been 5 years until now and, honestly I kept thinking about this thing. I can't keep this anymore and I realized that I will never able to send you this letter.


I remember you were calling me almost everyday, only just asking me what I'm doing, I already have lunch or no, or just crack a joke while you're calling me.
I remember how smart are you, you're so good at mathematics, you're often helping me doing my homework and exams.
I remember when we sang 'Ophelia' by L`arc~en~ciel and you were wishing one day they will perform at our school.
I remember when everytime you crack a joke in the middle of the class and I laughed so damn hard and the teacher caught us laughing.
I remember the grin at your face everytime you caught me when we play hide and seek, you looked so happy that day.
I remember when one of our friend imagining us if we marry each other, we will have a goddamn tall kid. But of course, you don't take it seriously.
I remember when you preferred talking to me instead talking to 'her'. I feel... Idk, special? Hahaha.


Hey, if you read this, please don't be scared, ok? I'm not a cannibal nor killer. But, I've been keeping this for 5 years, and I think you should know about this one day. But since I don't have a chance because it's already too late, I post this letter on my blog and wishing you will read this one day. I really, really wish.


Please don't take this seriously, I'm just a nostalgic person and I wrote this in the middle of Biology class and suddenly I remember you. I know this is extremely cheesy but, I didn't feel sad when I wrote this. I just suddenly remember the good times we shared in elementary school and honestly, I really enjoy having a relationship with you, not as a couple, but a best friend. You're make such a perfect friend for me. I won't forgot people who used to be my friend, and one thing you should know, I will never forget you, but, as a friend.


Last word, have a nice day. :)

Nostalgia.

Sebenernya gue udah lama pengen ngepost soal ini, cuma baru sempet sekarang. So, gue beberapa bulan lalu iseng youtubing lagu-lagu jadul yang dulu selalu gue dengerin waktu gue TK sampe SD. Dari lagu lokal sampe lagu luar yang dulu berkali-kali di puter di MTV (fyi, waktu kecil gue udah doyan nonton MTV. Tapi sekarang, jangan harap gue nonton MTV)

Gue donlot beberapa lagu yang dulu sering gue dengerin dan gue masukin iPod. Here's the list:

Harus gue akui, udah 2 bulan terakhir gue mulai ngedengerin lagu-lagu Indonesia lagi. Bukan lagu-lagu Indonesia sekarang yang kayak lagu-lagu boyband atau girlband itu. Tapi artis kayak Anggun, Padi sampe Peterpan. Ya artis-artis waktu gue jaman-jaman TK/SD gitu.
