That very moment when insecurity crashes me like massive car accident

Rem, kopling, gas
Melaju pelan di atas aspal keras
Roda bergulir dibawah terik panas


Gigi satu, netral, gigi dua
Macet bagai hari libur di Cisarua
Radio, AC, demi mengusir penat kunyalakan semua


Tol ramai lancar, gigi tiga
Polisi berdiri tegak namun tak ada sikap siaga
Biar sajalah, walau begitu aku harus tetap terjaga


Semakin lancar! Hajarlah gigi enam
Mendadak jurang membentang, aku terkaget nafasku berdentam
Sekuat iman kuinjak rem sampai terbenam


Kenapa aku tidak bisa berhenti............

There's a moment to seize every time that we meet, but you always keep passing me by

So, I was sitting outside one day
Waiting for the dude to come down my way
Praying, wishing, hoping, thinking
And I felt my emotions sinking
I've been waiting for the phone to ring
I check constantly, but it was all a dream
I never thought you could be so mean
Tired of the waiting, so it's time to come clean
And why do boys have to be so shady?
First it's all good and he's glad you're his lady
Baby this, baby that, see another chick and he act like that
But the thing with me, I can't take it
Keep it 100, was real, now face it
You gonna eat your words and Imma make you happen
So we're ready for the action

Cause you never were, and you never will be mine...
No you never were, and you never will be mine...
There's a moment to seize every time that we meet
But you always keep passing me by
No you never were, and you never will be mine...

If you havin problems with the one you love so much
And you wanna feel his touch
Put your hand in the air, let them know that you truly care
You don't wanna do the fight fuss
Getting sick of the love pain
All the lies and the trust games
Guessing, age don't make a difference
And I'm getting fed up, so listen
First you told me that you loved me dearly
I loved you, did I make that clearly?
And you're thinking that you can play my game
But I wanna think twice, so retain my claim
And I'm kinda mad at myself, cause I let you get the best of me
To confess to me, her
Oh boy, I'm through
Tell that chick that she better get at you

Cause you never were, and you never will be mine...

No you never were, and you never will be mine...

There's a moment to seize every time that we meet

But you always keep passing me by

No you never were, and you never will be mine...

(Robyn feat Rye Rye - Never Will Be Mine)

it doesn't completely resemble my true recent case here, but still.........

stalking after-effect

Why God created north and south,
if we're supposed to walk side by side?
The stones scattering on the street,
we used to kick em up away like little kid.
If our path has really been cleared,
now tell me why we become this weird?
Words hanging like sword against my mouth,
yet I never had the chance to spill them all right.


To the moonless night sky I demand :
please take me to the place where your future will stand...

it might sound cliché, but it's still true

I have this one friend whose story I feel like sharing to all of you. first of all I should make the case clear : he doesn't know that I already found out about his trouble. so I'd rather protect his identity by not telling who he is, from where I knew him, where he studies, whatever. one sure thing : he's a very good man. yea of course, I won't even bother to mumble about him at the first place if he's not.

he always puts his flat face everytime he's around. he's quite silent, whenever it comes to mocking games he's our group's best prey. no matter how mean we mock him, he would just say something like "sh*t" or "dammit" or so, try to humorously revenge us (but failed), then he would just laugh about that and forget them all.

we tease him very often "ha! weak! chicken! HA!" or sorta things like that. but today we all just knew that he had this one big burden on his shoulders since quite long time ago. he couldn't pay his tuition fee. that's it.

it was almost like thunderbolt in the middle of peaceful dewy morning for us. and then, as if that were not enough : the deadline was actually... tomorrow. his campus starts the day off from tomorrow, so I guess you know how critical the situation is. last time I heard from an anonymous source, he only got around 30% of all the amount needed, and right now, it's only 3 hours before tomorrow...

I don't know how to respond with this. the word sad, I don't think that is "proper" enough.

well I'm not that close with him actually, neither as BFF nor romantic flirty buddy. it's just that I spent quite much time with him and our other companies, that's why I can't stand the thought of losing him. he's a very good man, a good friend indeed.

once I've posted case like this, about one senior of mine in UI. yet when it happens to YOUR OWN buddy, it feels like... impossible. I never thought that his condition is actually THIS bad.

that's all. I'm spilling this all out not to hold a charity act for him or what. I let you know so that you can open your eyes and see, perhaps most of you are slightly luckier in some perspectives.

whatever your problem is, don't whine, don't complain. you are not the most miserable one.

Know Indonesia, Love Indonesia

found this on one of my dad's painting

"A bell is not a bell until someone rings it.

A song is not a song until someone sings it.

Love is not love until someone receives it.

Please do not bury your feelings."

(Dona - 2001, forgot the exact title of the painting)

(pardon the low-res pict. took it with phone camera)

I thought like, "What if the intended receiver doesn't want to receive the love at the first place?"

is it still love, is it not love?

well. this is nothing actually, just my random rant. don't take seriously.

there's nothing simple when I'm not around you, but I miss you when you're gone

... yes, I truly do.

sort of regret the fact that I couldn't manage to watch them live. they're like, too legendary you won't know whether they'll come here again or not. they're included in my "1000 things to see before I die" list. yet, I didn't come, for some reasons, after such conscious consideration.

but thank God they had that live streaming thingy, so I could see Dolores O'Riordan's weird dance moves, the way she sat down after singing Linger, and so on and so on. dear technology, you don't know how much I love you. would you be my boyfriend, maybe? #yakali

Last last last last Monday Night

punchline #1

Rissa : (looking at the menu) "Hmm... Mbak? .... Lagi apa?"

punchline #2

Fira : "Mas mau pesen ORANGE NIPIS." (instead of jeruk nipis, or lime, or something)

punchline #3

Fira : (to the waiter, dengan nada super unyu 2011, bibir manyun remaja masa kini) "Maasss, punya aku manaaaa?"

punchline #4

(looking together at this cheese sausage)

"KOK KAYAK PALA K***** YA???"

(hint : that sensitive, private part dangling between guy's legs)

punchline #5

(on the way back to kost, inside the taxi, stuck on a minor traffic jam. saw a giant tractor crossing the street)

Caca : "Itu apaan dah ijo-ijo gede, kayak Godjali."

Me : "Hah? Godjali?"

Caca : "Eh maksud gw GODZILLA!"

Taxi Driver : (langsung ngumpetin muka, keliatan banget pengen ngakak tapi diempet)

well, those were my "unique" kost mates. ehm, not really sure if the word "unique" suits them right, actually.

quoting Catatan Harian Si Boy (not exactly the same, I typed as precise as I could remember) :

"Keluarga kita semua itu disfungsional. Karena itulah ada temen, mereka itu keluarga yang lo pilih sendiri."

(sumpah ini asal, pokoknya kira2 intinya begitu lah)

so, I don't really care about the fact that all of them are totally dysfunctional. I chose them, and I'm quite pleased to have all of them, those dysfunctional-in-a-good-way mates.

oh man sometimes I just don't understand, how could these moronic clowns be gathered, and why? man oh man

I call this, kebetulan yang salah

on the way to kost, then realized that my keys were left home. thank God I had my duplicates. I found them inside my bag, but there was only one key, when that was supposed to be two (from now on I'll call the first key, the one that I had as "kunci kamar" and the second one, which was gone, as "kunci gembok").

so I whatsapped my kost mates, in case one of them had my kunci gembok.

Me : "Ris kunci kamar gw di lo gak?"

Rissa : "Hah enggak, di Dea kayaknya. Atogak di Fira. Yang jelas gak di gw."

I called Fira, no answer. Dea, again. no answer. this is the point where I started to turn panic. then :

Rissa : "Fira gw BBM katanya dia gak megang yuk."

Me : "Mm. Yaudah gw nebeng kamar lo dulu deh ya."

Rissa saved my ass. there was nobody else in kost, so I'd be sleeping in front of my door right now if she were not around.

hours later, Dea texted me. turned out that her whatsapp was not in online mode.

Dea : "Yuk, di kosan gak?"

Me : "Iya. Eh de kunci gembok gw di kamar lo gak? Kunci gw ketinggalan, serep gw cuma ada yang kunci kamar."

Dea : "Iya ada di kamar gw kok. Bentar lagi gw pulang kos tungguin ya. Gapapa kan maleman?"

Me : "HALLELUYA! Gapapa banget de, yang penting ada."

but minutes later.....

Dea : "Yuk, KUNCI GW JUGA KETINGGALAN!"

let's just hashtag this one, #eaaa
