So, this blog has been abandoned by its owner for quite some time now. They had a good run, for 2 years. Because of the circumstances such as her busy days as a law school student and her activity in various organizations and committee, she's going on a hiatus until....................she has the urge to write again in this particular blog.

You can still see her writing in her tumble blog. But as of today, don't expect her to write any more crap on this blog.

So this is it,

a final phrase from the agent herself

Pyong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Until we meet again

Now playing: Sondre Lerche - I Cannot Let You Go

Do not stay up all night

Do not give your full heart or love to one person, except that person is your future husband

Do not hide your feelings

Do not tell lies

Do not hold grudges against anyone

Do not hurt someone's feeling. Karma exists.

Do not keep things by yourself

Do not forget all the memories

Thanks for everything. I love you so much it's retarded. Always, forever, R.

Currently listening to: Death Cab For Cutie-The Ice Is Getting Thinner

Currently reading: Wetboek van Strafrecht

My mind's pretty much blank nowadays. That's why I never publish my writings anymore because they are too absurd. Some things are better kept inside. Right? The only thing that can cheer me up is Big Bang's comeback next week! So excited that they can finally make a comeback after 2 years on hiatus.

Gatau mau nulis apa ah super blank super super super. Mau hipnoterapi aja biar amnesia dikit aja menghapus memori yang buruk. Andaikan bisa..................

What's this all about?

When you want to make me happy
Please don't ask me what to do
I'm not sure I'm the one you want to please
I think it's you, I guess you know it too

Do you really try to change things,
improve them?
Sometimes I feel, you just do the opposite

And every time we go out of phase
I act if I hadn't noticed it
Hoping everything will go away, with a wave
of the hand and a happy end

Do you really try to change things,
improve them?
Sometimes I feel, you just do the opposite

I know how the story ends,
we are so predictable
But each time your love for me dies a little more
Make me happy

Hoping everything will go away
With a wave of the hand
I know you understand
That we all deserve
Just a happy end

Happy End by Tahiti 80

Go, figure.

2010

2010-12-26T20:56:00.005+07:00

Hello, I know I've been M.I.A in the blog world for the past year... Don't know why, I just don't have the courage to write. And ironically this post is the first well written post in 2010 hahaha pardon me for my procrastination. This post is titled Hello Goodbye 2010 because this is going to be the first and last post in 2010. Just want to rewind what had happened in 2010....

I am now a high school graduate and a student in Law Faculty Universitas Indonesia (dreams do come true, eh?). And I just finished the first semester of my studies there. TIME TRAVEL VERY FAST. Kayaknya baru kemaren kegiatan MABA kayak OKK, PMH, tiba-tiba semester pertama udah selesai. And guess what? Law school is hard. I am maybe exaggerating a bit but, it takes a pretty long time to adjust to my new environment and surroundings.... It's easy to say that I'm struggling to survive in Law School. So many ambitious people... I used to be that ambitious in high school. But why after I enter the harsh world of college I don't have that ambition anymore. That drive to be better... I don't have it anymore. College made me a little softer and melancholic... I used to be this brave and independent girl but I guess things changed, environments changed, our surroundings changed, people changed. But aside from that I met many amazing new friends and I look forward in my soon-to-be awesome college life for the next 4 years.

So in 2010 I also embark on an amazing journey. I visited a lot of cities, from Bali, Indonesia to London, United Kingdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I went on a very amazing Europe trip!!! The journey started in Milan, then continued to Rome, Venice, Koln, etc etc etc ( I forgot huhuhu) and ended in London!!! I get to visit my dream city........ This trip topped my list of the awesome thing that happened this year....

To make a conclusion, I think the first half of 2010 was better than the last. Why? For many reasons. The first half was full of laughter, while the last was full of tears. Ironic.

This is an unfinished post. Stay tune for more

:D

No one really wins.....

Welcome love, I have made a place for you here
I know every word they say.
I know how they want to make you change.

Change if you want, but don't you go and change for me
I can love you as you are
I didn't mean to make you want to leave

It's a fight between my heart and mind,
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time

If you don't find the love you want,
if I have acted ungracefully
I don't want to see you go
I never meant to make you want to leave

But go if you want.
Make your way straight to the door.
I hope that you look back before you go
'cause grace looks back before it starts to leave

It's a fight between my heart and mind,
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time

Change if you want, but don't you go and change for me
I will love you as you are
I didn't mean to make you want to leave

It's a fight between my heart and mind
No one really wins this time
No one really wins this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time
In the endless fight of grace and pride
I don't want to win this time
I don't want to win this time

First Memory

2009-05-30T15:36:00.008+07:00

Hmm it's been a long time since my last post. Dan sampai sekarang gue pun sebenarnya masih buntu ide. Hari ini sangat membosankan. Hanya melumut di rumah. Kebetulan hari ini adik kecil gue yang bernama Nabilla Andriana Gunarso merayakan hari jadinya yang ke-14 ! Selamat ya dek! Semoga tambah cantik, pintar, less-annoying, mandiri, dan makin bertanggung jawab ya. Lumayan banget ulang tahun kali ini dia dapet kado yang lumayan heboh, yaitu Kamera Canon Power Shot G10 dan Gitar Akustik Yamaha. Gila gue aja sampai sekarang belom dapet kado beneran dari Mama-Papa HAHAHA.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LITTLE SISTER ! She'll be pissed if she knew that I put this photo in my blog hihihihi

Well, moving on, karena hari ini gue melumut di rumah, I decided to look over my childhood pictures. Dan menurut gue, gue berubahnya sedikit ya. Masih gendut, chubby, sipit kayak dulu -___- Lihat foto-foto itu membuat gue berpikir apa sih memori pertama yang gue ingat dari masa kecil gue. Dan jujur gue gak inget haha. Gue sangat menyesali bahwa gue gak inget memori pas adek gue lahir, atau pas gue pertama kali jalan. So what's your first real memory ? Please tell me because I wanna know... Penasaran aja pengen tau memori pertama dalam kehidupan orang lain haha.

Officially Legal!

2009-05-10T02:01:00.013+07:00

Haha yes, that's right people, I'm officially legal...... yesterday ! (telat). Ya tepat kemarin tanggal 9 Mei 2009, saya merayakan hari jadi saya yang ke-17. Namun dilema yang cukup besar melanda karena saya tetap tidak bisa mengikuti Pemilu Presiden selanjutnya :( Boo hoo. Well, there's still next period (which means 5 years ahead, darn).

Tanggal 9 Mei kemarin saya mulai dengan ber-countdown bersama dengan Ramadhan Putera Djaffri yang teleponnya berlanjut hingga 12:51 (memang sengaja, sambil mendengarkan lagu tersebut dari The Strokes). Jadilah beliau merupakan orang pertama ya mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun. Di tengah telpon (benar-benar) tidak disangka, Papa, Mama, dan Nabilla, adik kecil saya membuat kejutan dengan datang ke kamar komputer dan menyanyikan lagu Happy Birthday. Setelah momen-momen meniup lilin dan wishes yang tentu saja saya katakan dalam hati, mereka memberi kado. Guess what ? CD (baca : ce de) dan DVD (baca : de ve de) John Mayer yang Where The Light Is !!!!! Shock. Tidak tahu dari mana mereka menebak hasrat saya membeli cd dan dvd itu. Alhamdulillah. Surprise berakhir, telepon berlanjut, menonton DVD John Mayer hingga tertidur.....

Paginya, kira-kira pukul 6 pagi, saya belom bangun (secara baru tidur jam 3an...) tiba-tiba segerombolan orang menyerbu kamar. Langsung wajah saya disemprot konveti dan hiasan-hiasan ulang tahun menghiasi kamar yang tadinya rapi HAHAHAHA. 12 orang berada di depan mata saya memberi surprise yang (walaupun ini meragukan) tidak saya kira sebelumnya. Membawa cake chocolate dengan angka 17, saya meniup lilin sambil berharap bahwa.......ada deh haha. Setelah itu, dua orang teman saya, Afiffa & Haniff memberi kado kejutan. Hadiahnya tidak disangka-sangka adalaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...........

HEADPHONE AUDIO TECHNICA IDAMAN SAYA DARI DULU!!!

Alhamdulillah, jujur saya sangat super duper shocked! Gak nyangka sama sekali bakal dapet kado kayak gini. Ribuan terima kasih saya haturkan courtesy orang tua dan teman-teman saya yang telah susah payah merencanakan surprise ini, juga memberi saya kado berkesan ini. Terima kasih kepada seluruh pihak yang telah meluangkan waktunya untuk mengirim sms, menelepon, mengisi wall di FB, di plurk, msn, dsb. dan mengucapkan selamat ulang tahun kepada saya. Terima kasih kepada Ramadhan Putera Djaffri, orang pertama dan terakhir yang memberi ucapan selamat. Thanks, dear :D Oiya, today's discovery : mencicipi es krim Coldstone kreasi sendiri = rasa Green Apple + Graham Cracker hahahahaha. Weird, I know, but it tastes good......

MUKA BANTAL SAYA SAAT MENERIMA SURPRISE (TAMPAK BELAKANG)

Final recap, total jam tidur dihitung dari kemarin = 4 JAM! Dan sekarang sebenarnya saya belum mengantuk. OH NO! INSOM beneran ini sih namanya. My Final Wish : Besok-besok jangan nginsom lagi. Amin. Bye for now!

Cheerio guys,

My Grandparents' Treasures

2009-04-26T17:41:00.007+07:00

Okay, so yesterday I went to my grandparents' old house in Bona Indah. And my mother and auntie already plan to clean up the house. So I decided to help them. Only to realize that I just discovered, what I consider as my Grandparents' Treasure...BOOKS ! And lots of them. I simply cannot believe that my grand father has the original and the third edition of RA. Kartini's book Habis Gelap Terbitlah Terang. That book was published back in 1963. And here are the list of books that I also found :

1. Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell

2. Peril At End House by Agatha Christie

3. The Sicilian by Mario Puzo (the creator of Godfather)

4. The Eight Commandment by Lawrence Sanders

Oh yeah and lots and lots of Sociology books in English, Indonesian, and Netherland. I didn't even know that my late grand mother is interested in Sociology ! Cool ! And there are lots of French books, also I found like 3 dictionaries. Nanti malem ya postnya dilanjutin lagi. Sekalian upload foto-foto bukunya deh. Bukunya udah tua-tua banget and it's very dusty...

Cheerio guys for now,

"How often do you find the right person?"

2009-04-21T22:12:00.006+07:00

Pasti title post gue menipu deh haha. Sebenarnya kalimat itu merupakan tagline dari film Once. I really wanna watch this movie. Because last week, Kris Allen (one of American Idol's finalist) sang this movie's soundtrack. Gue udah coba cari DVD nya kemana-mana (baru di Ratu Plaza sih HAHA) tapi gak ketemu juga. Penasaran banget, padahal hanya tertarik gara-gara denger soundtracknya yang berjudul Falling Slowly.

Intinya plot ceritanya lihat wikipedia aja ya (males ngetik). Oiya, this movie received various nominations in Academy & Grammy Awards, dan kayaknya album soundtracknya enak-enak deh. Maaf ya post nya super pendek karena emang lagi males nulis haha.

Cheerio, guys

Unimportant updates...

2009-03-30T18:15:00.007+07:00

Ingin menulis sesuatu, namun apa daya tidak ada inspirasi, jadi gue menulis perkembangan dalam hidup gue sekarang (maaf ya kalo gak penting sama sekali)

1. Keranjingan Tic Tac Orange : seperti Paulie Bleeker di Juno!

2. Keranjingan Mentos Strawberry

3. Keinginan menjual Blackberry : tapi gak mau ganti iPhone kok......

4. Useless SCHOOL WEEK ever : seharian gak belajar, malah nonton-nonton dvd dan ngegosip di kelas sebelah. Prediksi gue sih aktivitas belajar mengajar akan terus tidak kondusif sampai kelas XII selesai melaksanakan UAN

5. Keranjingan nonton dvd romantis : yang diartikan oleh adik tercinta gue sebagai salah satu alasan bahwa gue sangat desperate untuk punya cowok (WTF banget deh...)

6. Nilai raport tengah semester 2 yang ZONK : berbeda dengan prediksi gue sebelumnya ternyata nyokap gue biasa aja. Beliau hanya bilang bahwa nilai gue super duper merosot dan I have to do whatever it takes untuk bisa memperbaiki itu

7. Keinginan meng-update iPod namun apa daya koneksi internet di rumah sangatlah lamban

8. Kecenderungan bermimpi yang aneh-aneh, contoh : mimpi jadi pacar Alex Turner (?), dan kembali ke jaman gladiator (ini lebih lagi)

9. Kekurangan tidur, dan terkena sedikit flu

10. Kok gue merasa bulan Maret ini kayak gak selesai-selesai ya ? (padahal hari Rabu nanti udah bulan April). Mulai dari lomba ekonomi (yang gagal dimenangkan), Java Jazz, Skybattle, UTS, dll. (Atau karena saking banyak kegiatan waktu jadi lamban berlalu ya ?)

11. Last but not least, mood gue akhir-akhir ini sangat random. Tapi overall gue sih lagi cukup berbahagia lah karena di bulan Maret ini hidup gue sedikit berubah (namun karena apa ? Ada deh hahahah), pokoknya progress/kemajuan mulai terdeteksi HAHA

Udah ah lama-lama makin gak jelas.

Cheerio, guys

Ready to Swing the Strawberries..

2009-03-23T19:25:00.009+07:00

It is now 07.30 waktu Jakarta dan 08.30 waktu Singapore. Artinya : konser Coldplay sudah dimulai sekarang juga. Oh, how I wish I could in Singapore Indoor Stadium right now.

Sudah saya bayangkan berdiri di tengah-tengah crowd yang lelah menanti kedatangan Chris Martin, Guy Berryman, Jonny Buckland, dan Will Champion. Melihat panggung dengan lampu sorot yang terang, gitar, drum, dan piano milik CM, oh betapa saya menantikan datangnya hari itu. Membayangkan konser dibuka dengan teriakan Chris Martin dan lagu Life In Technicolor. Selanjutnya sepanjang konser mengikuti alunan suara CM dan ikut menyanyikan hits-hits teranyar Coldplay favorit saya seperti : Trouble, Shiver, Yellow, Clocks, Speed Of Sound, Crest Of Waves, Lost!, Viva La Vida, Prospekt's March, Lovers In Japan, (ah too many to mention here..)

Untuk melihat permainan piano handal dan suara lengking Chris Martin

Untuk melihat gebukan drum Will Champion

Untuk melihat dan mendengar melodi gitar indah Jonny Buckland

Untuk melihat tapping bas Guy Berryman

Harus menunggu lagi, setelah kehilangan kesempatan kedua. Semoga harapan saya untuk menonton mereka langsung dapat terkabul. Siapa tahu saya dapat menonton mereka di London ? Atau mungkin dapat bertemu langsung dengan mereka ? Dan menonton dengan teman seperjuangan saya tentunya..... God knows when, but I know that time will come..Doakan saya saja ya, udah kelewatan konser mereka yang kedua kali nih...

Cheerio guys,

My biggest dissapointment...

2009-03-21T12:06:00.003+07:00

So, after a whole week of total chaos I'm finally free. After UTS all I'm feeling now is a relief. But not long after that I have to face the truth about one thing which is : THE RESULT.

One word that I think could describe my test scores is CATASTROPHIC. I have a really big dissapointment, and nilai gue turun drastis bagaikan orang bungee jumping dari ketinggian 100.000 kaki (mulai mencampur bahasa Inggris dengan Indo dan mulai hiperbol). Oke, emang menurut gue, gue sama sekali gak belajar dengan maksimal karena gue merasa gue fully distracted dengan sebuah hal (atau lebih tepatnya seseorang). Selain itu, mungkin karena berbagai kesibukan yang bentrok dan faktor kemalasan gue untuk belajar. Dan gue baru ngeh bahwa selama ini gue selalu mencari excuses apabila gue gagal dalam sebuah hal (I know it's a very bad habit, and I'm trying to change..)

And my biggest dissapointment is this : A few days ago when I had my economic extra lessons, my teacher told me bahwa untuk masuk UI, gak perlu nilai atau ranking gemilang selama di SMA, yang penting belajar yang bener. And from then I thought

"I don't give a crap about scores or rankings anymore. All I want is get accepted to UI.. Bodo deh mau ranking 20 kek atau gak ikut OSN yang penting masuk UI"

Oh, how I regret those things that I've said...

Bahwa ternyata gue baru sadar kemarin bahwa....gue pun masih merasa miris melihat nilai-nilai gue berjatuhan. The hardest part is, I hate losing, preferably losing to *sensor*. I know I'm childish and I have to change this attitude. But I wanna try harder, I'm gonna make the best out of me, I won't let ANYTHING OR ANYONE distract me from my work. That are my goals for now. And I just can't picture my mom's look when she see my scores...Oh better be prepared for that.

More posts for later...

Cheerio guys,

Java Jazz Festival 5th Edition 2009 : A Review

2009-03-10T20:30:00.004+07:00

Finally after 4 days of exhaustion, I have a chance to write this post about my experience in this year’s Java Jazz. So one word that can describe it is : CROWDED. I think it’s the most crowded Java Jazz that had ever been held. Gue gak ngerti kenapa tahun ini bisa serame itu. Gue sih personally ngerasa bahwa JJF tahun ini menjadi super komersil gak tau kenapa. Emang gue tau sekarang ini lagi krisis ekonomi global tapi menurut gue kualitasnya agak menurun dan panitianya lebih mementingkan kuantitas tahun ini.

Okay, so I watched the festival for 3 days (plus the Jason Mraz special show on Saturday). Ketemu banyak orang tapi ada juga yang gak ketemu sih. This year a certain person that I met brings a certain memory. Seperti pertemuan kembali dengan teman-teman SMP Al-Izhar dan menjadi ajang reuni. Sisanya paling ketemu anak-anak Labschool. Tapi ada aja orang yang gue harapkan bertemu setiap hari tapi gak ketemu-ketemu (walaupun ketemu akhirnya but it was so brief). Ada lagi orang yang gak gue harapkan ketemu malah ketemu berkali-kali, berubah menjadi sangat awkward sehingga nyapa-pun rasanya salah. Hanya sekedar eye contact (berkali-kali). Salah banget deh. Well , the following were the performance that stucked in my mind until now..

Jason Mraz, one of the reasons why I watch JJF. He performed twice and I got the chance to watch both of the performances ! Jumat sih gratisan aja sih gara-gara di Exhibition layarnya besar dan bisa nonton dari balik pagar deh. Tapi I think his best performance was on Saturday, because he sang one of my favourite song of all time (and scores the highest playcount on my iPod), Who Needs Shelter ! I cried when I heard the intro of that song. Sisanya sih lagu yang lumayan banyak yang dikenal orang kayak (gak ngurut berdasarkan mainnya) :

- Life Is Wonderful
- Clockwatching
- Bella Luna
- You And I Both
- The Remedy
- No Stopping Us
- Who Needs Shelter
- Make It Mine
- I’m Yours
- Lucky
- Sleeping To Dream
- Butterfly
- Live High
- Love For A Child
- A Beautiful Mess
- Only Human
- The Dynamo Of Volition
(yang merah = favourites, yang bold merah = SUPER FAVOURITES)

Sayang, lagu dari album MR.A-Z & Waiting For My Rocket To Come gak banyak yang dimainin malah paling banyak dari album We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. Tapi sih gue paling kecewa karena dia gak nyanyiin lagu If It Kills Me, 1000 Things, dan Wordplay. Tapi Abang Jason sempat menyelipkan lagu Oasis-Wonderwall pada performance-nya hari Jumat (YAY). Pokoknya hari itu seneng banget deh gue heboh sendiri sambil nyanyi2 lagu2 yang orang2 gak tau (kecuali Dian Ayu Hapsari yang hampir hafal semua lagu). Banyak orang yang gue kenal bahkan dapet tanda tangan atau sempet foto bareng Jason Mraz (MAUUUU). Overall performance nya bagus kok worth it. Dia sih ngelempar2 polaroid foto2 bandnya gitu sayang gue gak dapet. Yang penting gue udah melihat one of my favourite musician manggung......

Sisanya menurut gue tahun ini yang artis lokal yang bagus such as Tohpati, Dewa Budjana, 21st Night, Soulvibe, RAN, Maliq, Glenn Fredly Tribute To Chrisye, dll. Tapi gue sebel gak bisa nonton Barry Likumahuwa, Humania, Abdul & The Coffee Theory, & Drew. Foreign artisnya paling Sensual, Isao Suzuki (two thumbs up! Keren abis mainnya, my favourite performance), Peabo Bryson, sama musisi2 India yang main bareng Gilang Ramadhan (lupa namanya), dll. Tahun ini sih sebenarnya gue lebih tertarik liat yang instrumental atau solo gitar/bass gitu sih. Soalnya waktu JJF 2007 gue nonton Marcus Miller dan mainnya gokil !

Soal venue-nya masih hampir sama kayak tahun lalu, Cuma nambah satu stage yaitu Dji Sam Soe Lounge (yang NOTABENE hanya boleh dimasuki oleh orang berumur 18 tahun ke atas), padahal Ecoutez, Drew, Barry Likumahuwa, plus 21st Night manggung di situ. Venue favorit gue adalah Exhibition Hall! Haha tempat tidur, makin malam musik makin soothing, tempat nongkrong juga dech. Assembly juga enak, tapi yang paling gak banget adalah Cendrawasih gak tau kenapa deh kurang nyaman gue di sana.

Intinya, tahun ini gue merasa gue tidak produktif sama sekali dalam JJF dibandingkan dengan tahun-tahun sebelumnya tentunya.

Selain kelelahan karena harinya bentrok dengan Skybattle 2009, gue merasa crowded banget venuenya
3 hari itu gue luangkan kebanyakan di Exhibiton Hall sambil tidur-tiduran bahkan tidur beneran.
Tiduran sambil melihat keelokan headphone Audio Technica tentunya (Ngidam beli nih).
Ditambah lagi penyakit pasca JJF yaitu suara gue habis dan klimaksnya terjadi pada hari Minggu saat nonton Maliq di mana gue paksain aja nyanyi2 dan suara gue masih serak sampai sekarang (walaupun banyak orang bilang suara gue sexy)
Penyakit insomnia gue baru-baru ini kambuh lagi dan sekolah bukan lagi menjadi tempat belajar melainkan menjadi tempat untuk tidur.
Belum lagi Skybattle 2009 masih berjalan dan hampir tiap hari gue shift!
Minggu depan UTS OH NO! Hectic banget sih bulan Maret...

Tahun ini gue beli dua merchandise yaitu hoodie abu-abu dan baju abu-abu juga yang bertuliskan Java Jazz Festival. Tapi hoodie-nya raib sebelum sempat dipakai HUHUHUHU SEDIH :( sold-out nya cewet banget lagi sedih. And the worst part adalah gue gak sempet beli tiket Jamiroquai! Huhuhu paling ngis itu deh udah early bird, udah mahal deh. Tambah lagi penderitaan gue gak bisa nonton Coldplay di Singapore gak hoki banget sih gue akhir-akhir ini. Pokoknya sampe Arctic Monkeys atau John Mayer ke Singapore aja GUE DATENGIN DEH ! Sampai gue dipeluk Alex Turner atau John Mayer sujud syukur deh gue (sangat gak nyambung dengan topik aslinya).

PS :
- Gosipnya JJF 2010 bakal digelar di Arena PRJ (Yikes!) Siap-siap kepanasan, kejauhan, walapun yang pasti stagenya akan lebih banyak. Well liat tahun depan aja deh.....
- Gosipnya akan ada Santana, Michael Buble, Jamiroquai (gak tau deh ngasal atau beneran) namanya juga issue
- Post ini merupakan post terpanjang gue selama ini hahahaha

Oh well that’s it for now. Gotta go doing my activities (which is sleeping, reading, dreaming, imagining, and listening to my iPod. Without NO STUDY AT ALL!). My wish : SEMOGA JJF 2010 LEBIH BAIK DARI YANG INI, GUE BISA NONTON COLDPLAY/ARCTIC MONKEYS/JOHN MAYER . AMIN!

Cheerio Guys,

Morning View

2009-03-06T04:44:00.002+07:00

Sekarang jam baru menunjukkan pukul 04.30 and I'm all ready to go to school. Sayangnya tidur gue gak nyenyak dan alhasil gue bangun jam 3. Padahal gue baru tidur jam 12an. Kacau nih, hidup gue jadi unorganized gini.

Minggu ini bisa dibilang gue kena insomnia. Gue tidur di atas jam 12 dan bangun sekitar jam 3-4an. Dan gue gak tau alasannya apa.

Satu lagu menemani penyakit insomnia gue semalaman yaitu dari Copeland berjudul Should You Return. Di bawah ini adalah verse dan reffnya yang menurut gue lagi mendeskripsikan pikiran dan perasaan gue.

You see the night is all i have to make me fear
And all i want is just a love to make it hurt
Cause all i need is something fine to make me loose
Now its a funny way i find myself with you

I never knew where to move on

I never knew what to rely upon

Now theres nothing left to say to change your mind
And if you're unhappy still i will be hanging on your line

Should you return, should you return, should you return

Well lagu ini gak sepenuhnya mendeskripsikan gue sih tapi melodinya enak banget cuy. You should listen to this song. Tapi menurut gue quote yang paling ngena buat gue hari ini adalah :

"You worship the sun, but now can you fall for the rain ?"

Gak tau kenapa quote ini sangatlah benar (dilihat dari sisi gue). Gue menyiratkan quote ini bahwa gue sedang melakukan pemilihan (bukan bersifat politik) dalam suatu hal.

Yoweslah, lari pagi dulu deh biar sehat.....

H-2 Sky Battle, H-1 Java Jazz Festival

2009-03-05T22:27:00.006+07:00

Hey all I'm back to civilization again, because lately I've been very busy. It's only the beginning of March but so many things is happening right now. I think the most awaited events are :

1. The 2009 Sky Battle : Even Sky Is Not The Limit, which will be held from 7th-14th of March 2009 in GOR Bulungan and SMA Labschool Kebayoran. It's an annual sports event and it's kinda big..

2. The 2009 Java Jazz Festival! This event is a must for me every year. And it's extra special because MR.A-Z himself is gonna perform there! I can't wait to watch him!!!!!!!

Another list. I'm going to list the top 5 performance on Java Jazz this past 2 years :

1. JAMIE CULLUM! His performance was.....spectacular. With his undoubtful piano skill and his voice. And plus I get a chance to meet him! (Well, it was brief and his bodyguard was annoying). Oh yes, and I cried a little during the performance (just a teary eyed) hahaha cliche

2. D'SOUND! The trio's performance is so cool. They performed one of my favourite song of all time, "Tatooed On My Mind".

3. EARTH, WIND, AND FIRE EXPERIENCE! Solid performance and the 'pelopor' tragedy. It was so F-ing funny, me and my friends laughed our asses off.

4. RAUL MIDON! One word : WOW. His songs are soothing and salute for his talent.

5. Last but not least, LEE RITENOUR! Crazy guitar technic, I was in awe....

So I hope this year it's going to be a better show than last year (well I doubt it personally). And I just heard a good news a couple days ago that..JAMIROQUAI IS COMING TO TOWN!!!! I will DEFINITELY watch it.

Updates (05/03)

1. Me and my friends were competing in an accounting competition and we lost! Haha so much for the 5 million prize dream
2. Still on a diet, still working out (I already lost 5 kilos!)
3. Melancholic tantrums kept hitting me this week but I hope it will all turn out good with all of the events that is coming up
4. I just discovered my inner childish side and I'm feeling unlucky this week
5. Current songs on my playlist :
- Ottoman-Vampire Weekend

"You are literally like my musical soulmate...."

2009-02-25T23:40:00.013+07:00

Ah indahnya dunia apabila kita mempunyai 'musical soulmate' seperti quote di atas.. I write this post exactly 15 minutes after I watch Nick and Norah's Infinte Playlist for the 8th time. And not surprisingly I cried (again). I think it was the most wonderful thing to be able to find a person that is your musical soulmate, just like Nick (MIchael Cera) and Norah (Kat Dennings). This simple story began when Where's Fluffy, an indie band is set to play a secret gig and everyone is very keen to watch them including Nick and Norah. Pokoknya secara gak sengaja mereka kenalan saat bandnya Nick manggung tapi ternyata Norah tau bahwa Nick ini adalah mantan pacarnya musuhnya. Mana ada Jay Baruchel jadi cameo dengan perannya sebagai Tal, friends with benefits-nya Norah yang punya band zionis bertajuk 'OZ-RAEL' (What The F? hahahah). Terus mereka kayak sok2 saling sebel gitu tapi lama-lama demen (-_- ketebak). So bla bla bla (gak usah diceritain ya semuanya) *SPOILER ALERT* intinya mereka gak jadi nonton Where's Fluffy. Instead, they're spending the rest of the night dengan jalan berdua (So Sweeeeeet).

Intinya ini adalah cerita semalam sih tepatnya yang alurnya selalu maju. Emang ide ceritanya simpel dan agak pasaran, tapi I think personally the best thing about this movie is the MICHAEL CERA factor ! God I adore him so much. Gue suka banget sama dia dari pertama kali nonton TV series "Arrested Developement" apalagi Juno, Superbad, dan ini yang terakhir. Dia juga jago main gitar lagi :D Pokoknya I love him!

This movie got me thinking, seperti yang sudah gue katakan sebelumnya, betapa indahnya hidup ini apabila lo menemukan musical soulmate lo. Orang yang selera musiknya aja udah sama, berarti obrolan juga dong (gak juga sih) Well gue sih cinta mati sama yang namanya musik dan mungkin sehari gak ada iPod = DEATH. Malah gue lebih mementingkan iPod daripada seonggok HP/BB. Tapi seneng kan lo kalo ada orang yang selera musiknya sama kayak lo ? Gue sih berharap suatu saat, I will find my own musical soulmate. Mau cewek, cowok yang penting selera musiknya bener-bener sama. And it's gonna be hard I think because each people is different. Harapan gue yang terakhir semoga jika dikasih Allah, bakal jodoh gue kayak Michael Cera deh. Well atau at least, he's my musical soulmate.......

4. This last two days is boring. Because my class in now non-moving. But on the other hand, my friend's class is just one door step away and we can chit chat a lot more.

2009-02-25T22:45:00.005+07:00

The air is breezing through the clouds
Wondering what the sun would do
As our eyes met
Our heart tells a single 'No'
You're as high as the cloud
Unreachable
The way you burst into the clouds
It makes me wanna try

Drops of rain
Pours into our cloudy heart
Too many lightning had striked our heart out
Will the sun able to repairs it ?

That's a little something (you could call it a poem, maybe ?) by me. I know it's a little cheesy because apparently I'm not good at this stuff. If you are all wondering, this poem is not based on my experience (or maybe..) well I'm just trying to be a "puitis" kinda girl (-_-)

Liking is a guilty pleasure......

2009-02-23T21:01:00.008+07:00

Well my title post for today is taken from a friend's notes in Facebook, how liking really is a guilty pleasure. That is what I've been feeling now for weeks. Without any circumstances, liking acts like a lightning that can shocked you and the next think you know you like your own guilty pleasure (not people/person, just random stuff). This particular song I think was one of the best that Coldplay could ever written, the verse from Shiver...

So I look in your direction
But you pay me no attention, do you ?
I know you don't listen to me
Cause you say you see straight to me, don't you ?

Another one of my favorite songs is written by Bloc Party, the reffrain from Flux..

We were hoping for some romance
All we found was more dispair
We must talk about our problems
We are in a state of Flux

So..this post means nothing and I really just don't have enough to say today.

Updates (23/02) :

1. Enough talk about Coldplay's upcoming concert
2. These melancholic tantrums are hitting me
3. I am on a diet........($#^&*%*^!)
4. I'm pretty satisfy about the 2009 Oscar's results
5. Money, money, money for SB 2009
6. (Still) my highest priority : FHUI

I am a Green Pegasus..

2009-02-21T16:04:00.005+07:00

Anissa09/05/1992

"You are Green Pegasus, who tends to give an impression of being proud and difficult person to get to know. But you can be really friendly and affectionate to those people you trust.You are quick minded and can act audaciously. You are a person who would follow ideals with passion. You possess sensitivity and flashes. You can make calm calculation and come up with objective theory. You are also tactful negotiator. You can be rather strong headed, but really, you are naturally a good person and natured. You can flirt to attract men to you. You are woman of both brains and beauty.You enjoy the process of creating things. You will concentrate hard and will put great effort while tackling it, but once finished you can easily lose interest. You hand over your accomplishments to others, and then start creating new one again. Although you can be argumentative, you dislike complicated matters. Therefore you tend to dispose a matter easily. You dislike ordinary things, and will end up doing things that surprise people. You will not turn out an ordinary housewife. You should stay working in an environment where you can enjoy your freedom.Your down-to-earth type of character attracts lots of men. But because you have high ideals, you tend to lose the opportunity, and get passed the marriage age (?) "

So recently I just tried this uranai, and it turns out that the results above is totally TRUE. When I read the word 'tactful negotiator' my eyes widened (well because I always wanted to be a lawyer). And for you, the reader of this blog who already knows me you can see how this uranai really describes me...well of course the 'I will be married passed the marriage age' (I hope it's not true..) Oh, and the last thing that I think it's very true about me is I find it hard to trust anyone that I haven't know long.

So goodbye for now, hope you all have a splendid sat night (I know I'll just be sleeping and watching oscar nominated movies tonight, because I'm still exhausted from attending my friend's midnight countdown 17th birthday party)

Au Revoir

Happy End

2009-02-19T18:31:00.001+07:00

When you want to make me happy
Please don't ask me what to do
I'm not sure I'm the one you want to face
You think it's true, I guess you know it too..

Seonggok bait dari lagu Happy End oleh Tahiti 80, mungkin menjadi soundtrack gue hari ini. Satu tangisan tadi malam membuat gue sadar akan sesuatu, yaitu not everyone is going to reach their own happy endings.

Have you ever feel like there's a bomb that is ready to detonate by seconds in your heart and brain ? That is my constant reaction when I heard something that shocked me last night (no need on details). Gue merasa bahwa perasaan gue sedang dipermainkan seseorang layaknya seonggok boneka voo-doo. Well mungkin itu merupakan majas hiperbola (urgh) tapi it is true. Pernah gak sih lo merasa pesimis dalam satu hal (yang gak mungkin bakal bisa terwujud) dan tiba2 satu malam lo tau bahwa perasaan pesimis lo itu salah dan semua yang lo inginkan bisa terjadi ? I am personally psyched.

Well, enough for my melancholic thoughts, satu alasan yang membuat gue menangis semalam adalah ketika tau bahwa tiket konser COLDPLAY LIVE IN SINGAPORE yang paling murah (which is Sing$ 88) IS SOLD OUT !!!!! :( God, saat mendengar berita itu dari sahabat saya Dani Dwi Saraswati (yang sangat hoki karena mendapatkan tiket itu) air mata langsung menetes di pipi (yuck, gak juga sih). Intinya gue sangat sangat sangat sangat sedih and bummed because I will miss their concert for the second time (back in 2006, I almost watch their concert also). All I do is now hoping and wishing that a miracle is gonna happen and I will meet Chris Martin in person !

So the reason why I was dying to watch them live is, well because I adored them since I was in the 5th grade, man ! (Well, since the beginning of their carreers). Their music is soothing and from then my playlist is not complete without their songs in it. Oh and also their song has been an influence through out my life....and now I'm going to miss them once again!!!!

Enough tears for now, later.. Au revoir.

Fractura Hepatica

2009-02-18T08:08:00.004+07:00

So much for the title..As my friend Luna Diandra a.k.a LD said earlier today, fractura hepatica in normal language means broken heart. Now, the question is : Is my heart broken? (well dengan kata lain apakah gue sedang patah hati ?) Dan jawabannya (mungkin) TIDAK. Gak penting banget deh haha

Well karena lagi males berbahasa inggris, gue pake bahasa indo aja deh. Selama weekend ini gue mengalami mungkin weekend tersibuk yang pernah gue alami, why ? Let's take a look..

Friday, February 13th 2008
Gue latihan padus dari siang sampai sore (Sky Choir akan menghadapi lomba di alseace) malemnya gue menghadiri acara ulang tahun dua orang teman yang bertemakan bikers (FUN!). Walhasil gue berserta kebanyakan guests harus menyesuaikan dengan tema dongs dan gue baru pulang jam.....sensor. Malem deh hahaha udah gitu nebeng lagi.

Saturday, February 14th 2009
Yuck, it's Valentine's Day. Pagi di rumah sudah terasa 'cintanya' karena papa secara tidak diduga memberikan mama bunga dan cheesecake (AWW). Dari 16 tahun gue hidup pun gue tak pernah merayakan valentine deh, sama siapa pula ? Haha. Siang sampai sore Sky Choir pun menggelar latihan terakhir di sekolah tentunya. Dengan formasi lengkap (minus Pak Okto -_-). Sorenya saya dijemput papa dan mama lalu pergi ke GI ! Yeay sempat juga saya brbelanja siki' di F21. Later that night gue pun pergi ke Ex menonton Sore (splendid performance) dan juga bertemu dengan 3 orang teman. Pokoknya gue pulangnya malem juga deh malah pake acara jemput adikku di sebuah pesta formal (anak SMP jaman sekarang)...

Sunday, February 15th 2009
IT'S THE DAY! Pagi2 buta sudah bangun menuju kawasan Bintaro kediaman Manda untuk berkumpul. Orang pertama yang datang dan menghabiskan waktu bermain Wii main Guitar Hero & HSM 3 dan secara mengejutkan teman lelaki gue (NON-HSM FAN berinisial H****F) menang lawan gue gila jago bung haha. Setelah yang lain datang kami berdandan dan vokalisi sebentar. Sampai sana ternyata kostum kami cukup heboh hingga kami sempat ada sesi foto. Tak disangka, kami melihat saingan cukup ketat sehingga rasa malu sempat hinggap saat sedang latihan di ruang tunggu peserta. Yah skip aja deh intinya setelah lomba ternyata Sky Choir juara...
JUARA DUA !!!!! Gila shock abis deh semuanya ngis deh. Sorenya saya dan teman2 pergi ke pacific place untuk makan. Baru pulang malam hingga conclusion-nya weekend ini tenaga saya super terkuras padahal minggu depannya ada banyak ulangan (Eko, Mat, Bahasa Indo). Semoga gue gak keteteran deh dengan jadwal super heboh (agak lebay) minggu ini. Amin...

My First Post !

2009-02-11T00:04:00.002+07:00

Hello all ! WELCOME TO MY BLOG ! It is my first time writing in a blog so I'm likely to be a rookie on this thing. TIME TRAVEL AGENT is a place that I hope could be my very own time capsule and also a place to share my tiny thoughts that I have in mind. So keep reading and I'll keep posting !

It is now 12:07 AM and I haven't been able to sleep. This could be a problem because tomorrow I have a (not so big) history test, and I haven't studied. Elaiez (I lied). And the truth is I have been studying for almost 3 hours now and none of this VOC-EIC thingy is plastered on my brain.

While I was studying, I only have been listening to an untitled playlist that I made recently which contains only 4 songs :

1. If It Kills Me-Jason Mraz (lagi jaman ya ini lagu)
2. My Hands Are Shaking-Sondre Lerche
3. Back To You-John Mayer
4. Happy End-Tahiti 80

Any of that song sounds familiar ? (D'oh). I'm feeling melancholic today. Maybe those songs reminded me of a certain someone -_- (or not)...

Hello, tell me you know
Yeah you figured it out
Something gave it away
It would be such a beautiful moment
To see the look on your face
To know that I know that you know now
And baby that's a case of my wishful thinking
You know nothing

My hands are shaking from carrying this torch
My lips are bleeding from kissing you goodbyes every night
My heart is pounding yes yes yes
My mind just second guess
My love is so I'll take you there
But I'm such a mess

That's all from me for now. Ta-ta ! :8

PS : Wish me luck on my test!
