Hi Yogyakarta! (Part II)

Well, drinking Jamu, selling Es Dawet Ayu, visiting Bakpia home industry, singing together with street singer (and earn some money lol), and taking lots of photos is already on the list. no i'm just joking, everything wasn't on my list except taking photos. these things is the things which lighten up my trip!

Be around, blogging is somehow addicting like morphine.

Hi Yogyakarta! (Part I)

I never been in Yogyakarta for a holiday before. the last time was in 2005 or so, and doing nothing but staying in a hotel. as ususal, trip was fun. i have some kind like things to do when we go on a holiday which is
- try to eat locals food
- try to mingle with locals
- try to act as a locals
- don't throw any trash on a street
- spend some times to see around with your eyes and your heart

so, here we go!

this place called punthuk setumbu. you can see Borobudur temple from this place. i was sitting and enjoying hot tea while everyone waiting for the sunrise. there is no sunrise anyway, it's rainy season, i think i shouldn't expect too much. but i was wrong! even if there is no sunrise, the view was amazing! Borobudur and surround area was covered with a white mist, and you could see some high trees and Borobudur's top peeping from it. we met an old man who clean up the area while every tourist tried to throw trash here and there. there's a moment right before we go, i sit with him and he sang an old javanese song, he said to me that this is his home, he comes here every morning to clean it, looking for some greens for his small farm, to enjoy the view and sing. the sing part was called "nembang" in javanese, i don't even know what he was singing but sound really beautiful.

and we go like 3 hours driving to a virgin beach called Nglambor. Guys from Bintang Nglambor Snorkling took us to go underwater. it was a really nice experience to have!

Moving on to a part II coming up.

Where All The Cloths Gone?

i just came back from Sutos. i had a great time with pikichu, we watched resident evil together. i told pikichu about a friend of mine who's tried to get closer with me. yeah right, i told him. the girls must be mad at me if they know about it. they said "pikichu doesn't need to know everything about your life! try hard not to tell everything you feel and see!", but i can't help it. it's all came out like a train in a high speed. when there's something happened, i'd like to tell him right away. and they were right that capricorn is a bad liar, i can't lie on him .-.

okay i'm going to stop talking about pikichu for awhile.

i have a closet full with cloths and every time i prepared to go out, i always open my closet's door and thinking "where all the cloths and shoes gone?", "oh no, i have no dress to wear!", or "damn this all shoe's color doesn't match with my dress!". it usually takes an hour or more until i decide what to wear.

when i came in to sutos, i saw crowd. there's so many skinny bitch around me. that makes me a little bit jealous with them. and when i saw their heels, i get more jealous. they wears gorgeous heels and dressed like the end of the world. it makes me remember a pair of shoe that i can't buy. that is the last time i'm tweeting about a gorgeous heels that i wish i could and put it as my bbm status. maybe it's the last tweet and status about something i want. i'll stop tweeting and put something i want as my status. there's a reason i have not to say.

but i can't stop thinking about those shoes. no wonder why Mark love wedges and run his shoe store. when the first time he saw my shoes, he said, "you are a nice girl with a nice shoes, don't you feel like the luckiest girl in the world?". he knows why girls love shoes more than food. Mark is the luckiest person i've ever know. he's a man who run a successful fashion business. he love shoes and he have it all. thank God he's a men that would never wears it. lol. does shoe have destiny too? cause if it does, there must be plenty of shoe i can get than waiting for the wedges i saw the other day...

if you want to feel like a real women, use five inch heels. and use seven inch or more to feel like a goddess. LOL.

Am I Really in Love?

I've been busy for a couple weeks with homework and exams. Yet I spend my weekends with pikichu -my new BF's nickname-, everything is doing just fine. And tired. Well yeah, I have bf and we've been dating for months. Thanks to ave and friends for set things up.

Being in an uncommon relationship like this isn't nice at the beginning. Pikichu got me on a emotional roller coaster. Uncommon? Yes. I know that we are more than a friend. But yeah, main-chic, side-chic, friend with benefit,wifey, booty call... Etc I must know my status before it's too late right? So I decided to ask him (what he wanted to do with us). And he said, "I like you and I love you darl, I want to have a serious and mature relationship with you..."

And then here we are, a chubby couple which like to spend weekends looking for food. LOL.

What is pikichu like? Hmm.. I never describe him before. He wears eyeglass. He's chubby, and seems gain more weight since we met. LOL. He's actually not tall and handsome. He's a hardworker. And he's not a talkative person, he obviously a good listener cause mostly, I'm the one who can't stop talking ._.

Why do I like him? He have a fat belly and I love to rub it. LOL. He laughs at my joke. He always listen on me when I'm talking about things even if it's sounds boring. He likes to kiss my forehead and grabs my hand gently. He's mature yet playful.

He's the only man who makes me cook. He makes me try hard not to oversleep on the weekday (cause he said it's not a good habit to keep). He makes me get used not to play "who will hang up the phone first" yet make priority to spend time together on the weekend. He taught me to be a better person, and maybe careless person ._.

Lol. I said careless because sometimes I get jealous, I get mad, I get worried, I get curious. But there's no way in hell I'm going to admit it. I'm afraid pikichu thinks I'm being overreact and immature. He hates overreact girl. Idk, I keep thinking that someone else could make pikichu happier than I could. I knoooowww, it's a worst feeling ever!

I keep thinking about those bad things because he never promise that he will never leave me alone. He never promise that he will hug me tighter than all of my ex did. And he never promise that he will love me better than anyone else in the entire world. I guess he's doing right cause everyone who ever promise those things to me, ended lied.

Maybe I'm in love with him right now cause everything about him is seems really great and fun. Or mad. LOL. I just want him to stay right here with me. Be my last. Is that possible?

Someone Actually Talks

Dear God,
thanks for gimme very nice friends around me...
---------
around three or four years ago. i was in love with my senior. i remember we was so young, there's passion in our relationship. you know, we fights a lot, we laughs a lot, there's so many sparks in our relationship. we weren't a perfect couple. but i enjoyed being imperfect person beside him. he used to say a good thing about me. he love to make jokes. he used to say the F word and any other bad words when he wants to express something.

then we separated by distance. the technology couldn't help it. i were busy with college and friends. i needed him beside me like no other did at that time. distance. the distance keeps me with the loneliness. our relationship didn't work out.

but we still talk to each other.

we do. like other friends do.

like yesterday.

i was so sick and alone in my room. my brother and my parents were busy with their works and didn't realize that i was sick. i was texting my crush, hoped he accompanied me that night, but he acts like not in the mood. so, i was so sick and all alone in my room. then he called me. he didn't say "hi" or something, he just asked "what happen with you?" and i was like "what?"

"are you okay?"
"actually i'm kinda sick right now..."
"what happen?"
"why you call me? where are you right now?"
"i'm in the office... nothing, i just wanna know what happen with you, i saw your tweets. have you go to the doctor?"

"..."

he knew. he knew. and then i cried. do you know how you feel when you need someone to take care of you but no one there? no one even smile at you? and do you know how you feel when suddenly there's a person talks to you? i never realized he always there, beside me. talks to me when i need a friend to talk to. make a jokes when i feel empty. gimme advice that makes me stay strong. saying 'happy birthday'.
he was there.
for me.

Dude, I Wasn't Drunk!

i had a party last night with Ima and some friends. quite fun actually, except for what Vi did, oh you know, he tried to flirt (again). Victor was join with us, i was skeptic at first since i don't like to go to a club with men like him. he's doing fine, he's not tried to chased girls, in fact, he dances all night with Alvio. they both look enjoyed so much.

i wasn't drunk. yeah, i'm not. i was too busy gossiping with Ima. but how can i have those "drunk face" when i'm not even drink alcohol? .-.

My Hamsters

Hi my readers, wherever you are... :D

I promised you to take some pictures of my lovely hamsters, Huru and Hara in the last posts. i'm sorry for not doing it fast. i was busy cleaning my room. hahaha~ i just realized that i keep so many useless stuff. so after i cleaned my room, Huru and Hara posed for some photo shoot :D






OMG she's sssooooooooooooooooooooooo cuuuteeee!!! <3

a New Class

some people think that i'm wasting my time. some said it's good for having that feeling. well, i'm talking about how i never satisfied with my education. after bradcasting, communication, now i'm thinking to take a class again. guess what?

a cooking class.

i was talking about this to my friend and he was make a "huh!" face. then i told Rina and Erin, they were both surprised yet happy as i am. but "why a cooking class, Dida?"

***

how lucky you are, dear my readers. when you are in the high school, some of you knowing who you are and what you want in your life. some of you choose to play in a school band, having fun with your friends. some of you choose to join in a basketball team, training hard to win tournaments. some of you choose to make friends as much as you can, dating with the most handsome boy from social class. some of you choose to do so many extracurricular so after you graduate, you can write your experience in your CV. some of you choose to study hard, planning to go to the most famous college in your country.

but i didn't. i haven't knowing who am i and what i want to do for my life. i never prepared for my next step after high school. and it was mistake. i should knew what i want, because if it isn't me, who then?

at that time, i need a time to think what i'm going to do with my life. but mommy will never let me do that, isn't she? hahahahaa~ yes, she did. she asked me to start bought form and make student application, she was doing it like obsessed you know, every morning she asked me the progress. and it was so depressed because i really didn't know what's good for me and what's not.

and then you know what happened. when mommy said it's good for me, so i did it as best as i could. i worked hard to do the best. i was graduate with the highest GPA, two times. all i need is just believe, maybe believed in mommy is the thing that makes me survived that time. but depends on mommy isn't the thing i want to do in my entire life.

so, in the middle of work problems i had last few month, i took a lot of time to think. big time. i don't want to do mistake again. and yeah, i think i want to go back to college. i'm gonna do things i like the most. i'm gonna cook, in the right way. today, i applied. it will start at march 15. and this time, it's feel way better.

do something you like, do it often.

An Old House

When i was a kid, mommy took me and my brother to a village called Wlingi. her cousin's place. the village is quite and calm. the food is really good, one of my favorite is bubur balung (a porridge served with chicken's bones and veggies and chicken broth), my aunt said that the bones is a leftover from a traditional chicken soup. so they sell chicken soup at night and bubur balung in the next morning. and the scenery and the breeze and the traditional kitchen and smell of the smoke from the traditional stove, ahh... i love it all.

yesterday, my family and i went to Wlingi again and stayed for a night. we planned to visit my mom's another cousin (how many cousins she have actually? lol). my aunt's house is kinda old. and big. she have a basketball court and big backyard. like seriously, it's not a parking space with a basketball ring, it's really a basketball court. i wonder how much money they need to spend to have house like that. lol. the unique things is, she have a traditional kitchen. the wall made from gedhek (it's a wall made from bamboo) and the stove made from... i don't remember what but it made from mud. yes mud! and shaped like stove and dried and then you cook use woods. it's more like fire pit with mud. lol. i like it, it makes the foods smells better.

isn't it beautiful?

the key looks really old. i wonder how old...

you can see the flooring, the bed, the closet on the wall, it's all seems so old and beauty...

Hurly-burly

hello there!
(whoever you are, i never knows who was reading my blog because Indonesian are too lazy to leave a comment LOL)

i have a great great day. haha i said great twice. YES! because today, i adopted two adorable hamster from the pet market near Gunungsari. though it's named with "fish market", but you can always find many kind of animals like rabbit, cat, dog, lobster, reptils, and baby monkey! ._.

poor monkey :(

Me, mommy, and my big brother went to the market, we're actually want to buy fish for our mini pond in the dining room. we bought ten baby cat fish and when we at home, daddy shocked like "why cat fish? it isn't cute at all"

and i answered, "because they are strong, dad. they will survive in every bad or maybe worst weather. they will survive if mommy starts to put ice cube into pond. and plus, they eat anything. ANYTHING, seriously, if you put shit in that freaking pond, i guarantee you, they will eat all that shit!"

and then he laughed. btw, mommy really like to put ice cube into the pond. it's creepy, isn't? ._.

anyway, i was arguing with mom when we walked through the hamster booth. i really want a hamster. who wasn't? they are sooooo cute! well, mommy hate any kind of mamals. but i am a stubborn. if i want a hamster, then i'll buy one. or in this case, maybe two :P

here they are. playing on the wheels in my room.

they both are female, why? because i'm afraid if i bought female and male hamster they'll make babies. lots of baby. then they'll too busy to take care themself, start arguing, and then getting break up like a worst divorce ever. hmm... i'll buy female and male hamster AFTER i create a condom for hamster. LOL. or buy pessary for them. hahahahahaaa~ oh well. no, i'm actually worried if the female too aggressive and hurts the male like my last hamster did. so i guess, bought two female hamsters are the best choice.

i named them with Huru and Hara. Huru-Hara means hurly-burly, it's one word. i love that name because it's sounds like japanese name when you hear "huru" or "hara" (eventho in the japanese language there's no word sounds like huru and hara LOL) and when you put it together it's just describe what happen between huru and hara. it's a perfect word for them. :)

i'm gonna post their pict here, but not now. let them feel comfy with their new home first. so, catch you later guys! hope y'all have a nice sunday!

Magic Cure

hi.

you know, the last three days, PMS really driven me crazy and moody :/ i felt like my days turn into a very bad days. this is really sucks. so, what do you guys do when you have a bad day? do you have any tips to make it better?

take a nap?
listening to a awesome songs?
put a little whiskey on your hot cocoa?
or eating something sweet like my momma did? haha!

having convo with my best friend usually does the trick. 8% because we share our problem with them and 90% because we play stupid games together! and the 2%? i guess it's the X-happy-lucky-factor. but actually, all of my friends always busy with their grown-up schedule, working. that's sounds lil bit sad, isn't? lol. so, i decided to listening to a music and looking my photo folder. i found this, haha!




i was really upset that day, and i decided to came to Angger (with the black eyeglass) place. then i met with Ricco (guy with the guitar) and Pras "tyo" (guy with cards i hand) in there. we shared. and then we play guitar and games. so, guess what happen when cards and coins meet with each other?
POKER!
that was the most stupid poker game i ever play! because they forced me to play with coins from Angger pocket. lol. so you can see there's no poker coins in there ._.

can't say i'm good at poker but i'm definitely better than them. hehe. after they became bankrupt, I'm building a pyramid from cards and it's ended up with another fight between me and pras (though it's not a real fight). he's mad because i told him that i could make a higher pyramid than he did. then he competed me. so childish.

at the ended of the day, i'm actually felt much better. stupid games and friends is a magic cure for a bad day.

Sharing and Laughing are Best Friends

Hello you,
after this almost three months break, I wanted to share something with you. not so annoying i hope. but i miss you so! *smooch*

Scream Out Loud

Hey guys! :D
It's almost the end of October, which means is... Halloween! Hahaha~

So many people, no, MOST people here never having fun on halloween. Kids never play trick or treats here. Hot chicks never prepare for their sexy halloween outfit. Parents never carving a pumpkin. Tho my parents always have enough candies for me. LOL. But there are few ppl doing something fun for halloween such like international school, night clubs and bars, and yeah, some people do. Here in Indonesia, mostly, we don't have stuff like that.

I don't know why but I'm really excited to talk about something creepy lately LFMAO! FYI, I'm a BIG coward. I can't sleep beacuse the Grudge 2, I hate broken tv because the Ring, I don't wanna go to an old building because Haunted Changi, I don't wanna turn my lights off because Paranormal Activity, and I will never have a long straight hair because I don't wanna see Ju On through reflection in the mirrors.

Hey, even I'm a chicken, I will tell you a creepy story no matter what. Wellcome. :D

When I was 17, few weeks after my birthday, me and my family move to a bigger house. It's a beautiful place, mom and dad love it so much. Actually my mom make her own sketch, yeah, she designed this house. She design my room, painted with purple and pink like a 13 y.o girl's room, match with the pink-white floor. Have no idea. LOL. Ah yeah, you can see warehouse from my bed (of course if the door is open).

Well, After a week passed, I realized that every night I always woke up at my room in the middle of the night, always in the same time. I though it was insomniac or something like sleep disorder. But more I think about it more I know what it's about.

Always in the same time, 00:07 AM. When I open my eyes, I saw my door is open. And I can see the warehouse. I was thinking like, "why 00:07 AM?" Or "who's open my door?" And "is there something wrong with me?". It's happened for almost 2 weeks and stopped because I started (and I never forget to) lock my door.

One day, my friends from college came to my house. They want to make a short movie and asked me if they could use my room as a set. So, I showed them my room. One of them, Reza, he is busy with his phone talking with his girlfriend.

I said, "when you done, go upstair, the door in the right side is mine, okay?" And he answered "okay"

So we left him alone in the living room. Guess what?

While we had a serious talk in my room, Reza running in! He's face looks shocked. He sit in the carpet and when we asked what happened to him, he just said a bad words in repeat. And we had a talk.

"Dammit! Dammit! Who's that? Dammit!"

"Hey dude, what happened, haha you look like just meet a ghost" said one of my friend. They laughed.

Reza answered, "Shut up! Dammit! Gimme a ciggarate!"

And I asked him, "Chill man, what's going on with you? Is there something problem?" And once again, my friends are laughed. They gave a cigar and said "yeah right, the worst thing is he broke up with his hot girlfriend"

"No man, I see someone... I see, I don't know who. Here, in the second floor..."

"Where? And what is he doing here?"

"He ran from your nanny's room and ran and ran until he passed the wall... I-i-i'm not sure it's a wall or a door but he must be injured right now"

"Reza, it's not a nanny's room. It's a warehouse. Did I tell you that I'm alone right now?"

And they all stopped talking.

Since Reza saw something in there, It happened two or three times in the next years. But "it" never trying to make me scary. "It" did it to some of my friend. And my mom. Idk, maybe cause they were born as a special person, with sixth sense or something. I'm not a big fan of Supernatural or Ghost Wishperer. Yeah, tho I watched Ghost Wishperer sometimes, but it doesn't means that its bring me to a story like this.

So, that's all for today, have a nice weekends. Catch you later! (:

When The Mood Controlling Life

Another week passed. I'm still here with "uncharted" by sara barellies. Well, I've got some new stuff here. Hahahaa! I'm actually shame to say it. :p I've a plant. Lol. Yeah, it's ginger. It's embarrasing because I stole my mother's fresh ginger and took it into a pot, I put some sand and fertilizer, and whalaaa! I have a ginger in a pot! :p

After seeing a new leaves comes up, I'm start thinking another things. You know, I'm act like a very young-confuse-lost teenager. I'm so moody, sometime I'm glad, most time easily showing my anger face. Mommy had a fight with her workmates. She's kinda upset and felt sorry, she said to me yesterday when we went to a mini market, "I need to control my anger, it's embarrased". When she said that, I think I need it too. We both know what we did and it's not a positive sign.

So, I'm looking for some activity to focus on. Better than angry. I want to burn fat but I don't want to burn my skin. I'm already tan you know. Surabaya is hot as hell. Then I choose sewing. I did. Hihihii.. I made a beautiful-simply-red cocktail dress, Mommy said it too tight at the top but I'm feeling comfort. Actually she's right when she's said "doesn't it need a bra? where you can put your bra on? It's too tight". My breast look sooooo small. I should give more room in there so I can put a foam and make my breast looks great. Blame to small natural breast.

Anyway, at the end, I always find something good to learn right? Now we all know that I'm good at sewing too, even not like a pro YET :D

My First "Nasi Kucing"

hai... hai...
selamat pagi! dini hari tepatnya ya? hehehee...
sabtu ini aku menyia-nyiakan dengan tidur! oh no! jadi, td pagi aku sempat bangun, ngelirik ke jam dinding ternyata setengah tujuh pagi. udah aja, aku tidur lagi... begitu bangun, lihat jam dinding, eh, setengah tujuh lagi! aku pikir apa aku yang salah lihat... ngecek ke handphone, jam dua siang! damn!

ini semua gara2 begadang. huhuhu...

well, lupakan tentang hari yang sia-sia, kali ini aku mau cerita tentang pengalaman pertamaku mencoba makan di angkringan. hehehe...

tanggal 25 mei 2010 yang lalu, aku dan ketiga temanku, Pras, Angger, dan Kang Ricco memutuskan untuk makan malam di warung nasi lemak diseputaran Gazibu. porsinya memang tidak banyak tapi cukup mengenyangkan. seporsi nasi lemak plus ayam bakar dihargai 11.000 rupiah. bisa juga ditambah tempe atau tahu bakar.

setelah menikmati nasi lemak, kami bingung mau kemana. pengennya nongkrong yang murah tapi dekat, mengingat kosanku yang sekarang diberlakukan jam malam. entah ide siapa yang tiba-tiba mencuat dan menjadi kesepakatan bersama untuk meluncur ke angkringan didepan kampus ITB.

angkringan, seperti yang sebagian orang tahu dari literatur yang ada, berasal dari kata angkring (bahasa jawa) yang artinya kurang lebih duduk santai. angkringan biasanya menggunakan terpal berwarna biru/oranye sebagai penutup, malam itu, angkringan yang kami singgahi memakai terpal berwarna oranye (terang dan menyolok) hahaha. didalamnya ramai sekali cowok-cowok seumuran dan beberapa berperawakan lebih tua dari aku sedang menikmati makanan didepan mereka. aku satu-satunya cewek yang datang, sempat terlintas ini kesalahan datang ke angkringan, kesannya menjadi horror. hahaha! padahal sebenarnya biasa-biasa saja.

dibawah temaram lampu lima watt, Angger memesankan kami makanan. Kang Ricco dan aku sebelumnya tidak pernah memakan "nasi kucing". i thought it was real cat inside. lol!

dulu, waktu jaman chatting di MIRC, ada anak jogja yang bercerita tentang asal mula nasi kucing. katanya raja-raja dikeraton pada jaman dahulu itu sakti-sakti dan dapat menyulap makanan yang sesedikit "nasi kucing" itu bisa membuat perut masyarakatnya kenyang. well, i don't know it's true or not. bisa jadi juga kan? bagi info dong kalo memang bener gitu :)

tapi setelah membaca sana-sini, kata mereka, ia diberi nama nasi kucing karena porsinya yang sedikit, seperti porsi ketika memberikan makan pada kucing. aku nggak tahu bentuk asli nasi kucing yang versi jogja ataupun solo. tapi nasi kucing yang dijual di angkringan ITB ini dibungkus kertas coklat, berisi nasi (sedikit sekali!), sambel, dan separuh bagian ikan kecil yang diasinkan. harganya hanya 1500 rupiah! sayangnya, malam itu si pedagang lagi laris, nasi kucingnya tinggal satu, jadilah Kang Ricco dan yang lain mengalah untuk mencobanya. hehehe...

selain memesan nasi kucing, ada juga sate telur puyuh, sate-sate lain seperti jeroan, kemudian ada beraneka kerupuk. untuk minumannya ada bangsa teh (teh hangat dan es teh) dan kopi arang. aku nggak suka sate telur puyuh-nya, jadi setelah pesan, anak-anak yang menghabiskan bagianku. hehehe... bukan karena rasanya, tapi ada bau telur rebus yang khas dan lebih tajam dari biasa, jadi aku urung untuk memakannya meski tampaknya tidak ada yang aneh. lihat saja waktu si Pras memakannya dengan lahap...

yang aneh adalah kopi arang. aku pikir kopi itu terbuat dari arang, ternyata prosesnya setelah kopi jadi, arang yang masih panas, berwarna merah itu dicelupkan kedalam kopi. EEEWWWW! karena aku agak ragu (takut keselek arang. hehehe! nggak ding, bercanda...), jadi nggak ikut minum, cuma ikut foto pake kopinya aja... hehehe... kata anak-anak sih biasa aja kopinya, rasa 'aneh' dari arang juga nggak kerasa. tapi aku tetap nggak mau mencobanya. hihihii...

well, setelah asik menikmati menu di angkringan, kami pulang dihadang oleh preman-preman mabuk. untungnya nggak terjadi hal-hal buruk (jangan sampai deh!). ya, meskipun sudah mencoba nasi kucing a la angkringan ITB, tapi masih juga penasaran dengan versi jogja. sama nggak sih?
