Saya lupa kapan terakhir kali dapat bunga dari seseorang. Memang pada dasarnya saya bukan tipe wanita yang “ngidam” dikasih bunga sama cowo, sih. Pernah ada seseorang yang ngasih saya 1 tangkai mawar putih, tapi saya tolak. Di depan mukanya. Bukannya tidak suka, tapi malu. Kecuali kalau dia pacar saya, ya saya pasti dengan senang hati menerimanya. Lagian, cewe mana sih yang ngga suka dikasih bunga hahaha.

Beberapa waktu lalu ada yang mengirimkan saya satu buket bunga mawar merah. Tepat saat hari ulang tahun saya yang ke 21. Di lempar ke teras rumah pula (ngga sopan sih sebenarnya). Kebetulan si Mbak yang suka datang untuk bersih-bersih rumah yang memergoki buket bunga itu teronggok di teras.

Siapa?

Kalau saya tau mungkin saya tidak akan menulis tulisan ini. Yah, walaupun tujuan dari tulisan ini juga bukan untuk mencari siapa si pengirim bunga ini sih.

Kepada siapapun yang sudah berbaik hati memberi 1 buket bunga mawar merah dan sebuah pesan manis di hari ulang tahun saya, terima kasih :)

I've always wanted to have a real pet. Yes, a real pet in my dictionary = the fur-bearing ones whom I can always take a walk with. Or I can spesifically say, a puppy.

Aside from the fact that I fear sharp canine teeth, moulted furs, and dripping salivas... look at those beautiful, soft fur! Puppies almost become the only pet that strike. But please note that I, honestly, still can't make my guts to literally hold and touch them with my own hands T__T *so why bother having pets if you ain't holding em* *rolling eyes*

I often go surfing to some dog lovers' sites just to look around and check out some pictures of my favorites, like Siberian Husky, Jack Russel, or Akita. The latter was a race Hachiko owned, that famous and faithful dog from Japan. He's so famous that the governor made a Hachiko statue that's now standing upright outside Shibuya Station. Too bad I didn't have a chance to visit and take some shots back then in Japan :( I'm pretty a fan of him, though.

But nothing can beat my admiration to this dashing Russian knight, Siberian Husky.

Siberian Husky. The most handsomest.

Life after high school might not be good enough for me. Mkay, I graduated from high school already and was accepted in one of the most favorite colleges in town (or I may say, in country). Yay! That simply means I'm getting a very very long holiday (or just say I'm getting a leisure time) roughly 3 months, which I barely had in 12 years of school, until the college days officially start. So, congrats for me, maybe? :p

But after all, there must be a poor nick happening thou.... Yes, that practically makes me a full time jobless. Indeed.

Once I decided to be ~productive~ by getting a part time job but none of the job places I applied to response. *yes, laugh at me*

So here's this thing, three months being a lousy jobless somehow gets my crafty side to rise up.

I unintentionally found a crafter's blog while trolling some cute felt shops on Etsy. And seeing those cute handmade little felt dolls, felt pouches, suddenly urged me to make some on my own. (okay, I now sound like a cutie. Which sooo not me.)

I recalled I still had some felts, leftover fabrics and any other misspent crafting items. So why not start a personal workshop and do the crafts? That's how it all started.

First thing to make (or remake): my old agenda book.

I once had been flustered whether I should have a new agenda or just keep the old one. That's stoopid since I ended up whining to my friends because I was too distressed for not being able to decide about it myself. Stupid.
Anyway, here's the outcome.

Hi!
Here's another quick update.

1. National exam is over. (well, it is like 2 weeks ago thou)

2. I didn't get to attend Super Show 4 due to some issues I had with my mom. That was pretty suck but then I realized fangirling life isn't merely about going to concerts or so. I have priorities anyway.

3. My addiction to SM's new boy group, EXO, is getting worse. Yes it is.

4. I'm currently in a maze of deciding to replace my old agenda book with a new one or to stay loyal with it. (this is such an important matter, at least for myself! :p)

5. Life after national exam is about hanging out-watching movies-going to cinema-culinary trip and most necessary is... working out! Yeah! Swimming, biking, skipping, jogging somehow work on me ;-)

6. Currently drooling for red coat/red cardi and any other red outfits! Preferably like these ones below ;) #SUPERKODE

7. Notice something new on my Tumblr page? Mixing up red with my fav color, navy. Yay!

8. Anyway, Iko Uwais and Park Chanyeol got my heart thumps really hard!!!! ♥ These two are clearly a contradiction thou, haha.

9. Bet most of 12th graders must be really busy with college enrollment stuffs. So am I. Sigh.

10. I miss school already :(

P. S. I turned 18 on last March, 10th! Yay me!

Photos taken with Nikon D5000.

Jadi hari Kamis lalu tiba-tiba aja aku, Pungky, Shiro dan Riri memutuskan buat jadi backpacker dadakan, ke.... Solo. Iya cuma ke Solo. Namanya juga backpacker amatir, jadi ya nyoba yang deket-deket dulu hehe.

Sebenernya kalo mau dibilang dadakan ya enggak juga sih. Soalnya kita emang udah rencana jalan-jalan bareng ke Solo udah dari jauh-jauh hari dan naik mobil bukannya naik kereta. Tapi karena something happened 10 hours before the trip's started akhirnya setelah melewati kerempongan yang sedemikian rupa, akhirnya ya keputusan final: backpacking dan naik kereta ekonomi Pramex (Prambanan Express). Awalnya partisipannya (ceileeeeh partisipan) ada 8 orang (4 cowo, 4 cewe) lalu berkurang jadi 4 cewek semua. Tau kenapa? Itu cowok-cowok pada males masa kalo naik kereta, maunya naik mobil aja. Manja! Makanya mereka gak jadi ikut.

Sebagai wanita-wanita kuat dan pemberani, kita prepare kilat buat keesokan hari. Sebenernya tujuan utama kita ke Solo itu.... beli kain. Iya kain. Soalnya kalo nyari kain di BTC (Beteng Trade Center, semacam Pasar Beringharjo-nya Solo) itu lebih komplit dan banyak variasinya, dan tentunya harganya lebih murah dong asal kita pinter nawar!

Tapi, pas nyampe Stasiun Tugu dan habis beli tiket aja kita udah bikin kesalahan dengan beli tiket yang umum, tanpa tempat duduk alias berdiri! OMG. Dan kenapa Shiro juga gak ngingetin. Oke, kita masih menghadapinya dengan positif dan menyemangati diri kalo it's okay if we don't get the seat, pokoknya pas pulang harus naik Madiun Jaya yang full AC dan beli tiket yang seated. Sip.

Dan ternyata kita tidak sekuat yang dibayangkan. Berdiri satu jam di kereta dan menggendong backpack yang seberat karung beras berisi kamera, payung, snack, air mineral dsb bikin kita cukup kewer. Ohya sebenernya kita gak sepaham itu dengan daerah jalanan di Solo. Ya kalo aku pribadi, biasanya ke Solo naik mobil sama keluarga dan itupun cuma ke rumah sodara dan ujung-ujungnya main ke Grand Mall. Udah. Jadiiiiiii untuk mengakalinya, I had prepared a so-called guide yang akan memandu perjalanan kita selama di Solo. Hahaha dia adalah..... Faizal. Iya, dia kan aslinya orang Solo gitu, jadi resmilah dia jadi pemandu kita via WhatsApp.

Keluar dari Stasiun Purwosari, kita langsung cari makan siang di deket sana, yaitu di Dapur Solo. Habis itu kita langsung cari shelter Batik Solo Trans dan capcus ke Beteng, ya karena emang tujuan utama kita kesana. Setelah puter-puter cari kain macem-macem selama kurang lebih 2 jam kita memutuskan beli es krim di Kusuma Sari. Tau kan? Ya pasti tau dong, ini restoran dari jaman kite-kite kecil emang udah terkenal banget. Dan sebenernya es krim dan makanan disin gak begitu mahal, tapi karena status kita saat itu adalah backpackers, so we might consider this as our second fault as the backpackers.

Udah kan tuh ngadem di Kusuma Sari. And our next destination was Serabi Notosuman. But none of us remembered which way to take to get there! Bingung kesananya naik apa, niatnya sih kalo gak naik angkot ya naik becak (inget, kita ini backpackers jadi say NO for taxi!). Nah gara-gara si Pungky nih, dia tiba-tiba aja bilang, "Udah kali, gak papa jalan kaki, deket kok, aku inget tempatnya." Tapi sebagai seseorang yang hampir tiap hari melanglangbuana bersama dia dan tau benar instinct dia dalam hal nyari jalan and stuffs itu bener-bener minus, aku rada ragu buat mengiyakan saran dia. Tapi apa boleh di kata, karena begitu membaranya jiwa petualang kita ya kita capcus ke Notosuman JALAN KAKI. Saya ulang dan perjelas, JALAN KAKI DI SIANG HARI YANG PANASNYA MUNGKIN BISA NYAMPE 39º. Udah gitu salah jalan pulak! Untungnya orang Solo ramah-ramah, jadi kita gak usah segan kalo tanya jalan sama mereka.

And after having 30 minutes walk in an extremely hot day which almost burnt out our spirit and soul (okay, agak lebay), kita akhirnya nyampe juga di Notosuman. Tepatnya di Serabi Notosuman Ny. Handayani. Dan karena itu udah agak sore (sekitar jam setengah tiga-an), and because we needed to catch the 4PM flight, eh train, I meant, jadi kita buru-buru nyari angkot buat balik ke stasiun. Dan untuk dapet angkotnya kita masih harus jalan sekitar 500 meter ke Pasar Singosaren dulu. Mamaaaaaak ~_~ SEMANGAT! TETAP SEMANGAT! :')

Singkat cerita, kita dapet angkot and spent 20 minutes muter-muter kota Solo di dalem angkot yang sejuk dan akhirnya sampailah di Stasiun Purwosari. Niat awal kita pulang kan bakal naik Madiun Jaya yang full AC tuh, ternyata last train ke Jogja via Madiun Jaya itu jam 14:00. Sial!!!!! Akhirnya kita tetep naik Pramex dan beli tiket umum tapi rebutan. Iya rebutan. Jadi kita bisa aja beruntung langsung dapet seat atau agak kurang beruntung dan berdiri lagi.

Guess which ones were we? The unlucky ones.

Iye kita gak dapet seat dan terpaksa berdiri lagi. Dan kita baru bisa duduk enak pas udah nyampe Stasiun Maguwo. Ohlalala.... Disuyukuri sajalah :')

Went through my old blog and found some old photographs I took 3-4 years ago when I was still a junior high-er. Below aren't the original photos thou, I put some touch-ups with Photoshop to prettify them a little and just in case to make a more oldish feeling. Mystique.

It's the end of October already. Most kids outta there are lustfully waiting for tonight's Halloween party I bet. Even Google.

And as well SBS Inkigayo. They had Halloween special stage today. YAY! The MCs (Jung Yonghwa, Choi Sulli, and Jo Kwon) wore Halloween costumes, while the others' costumes were mostly in black (and red). By the way, nice cape, Sulli. :)

I don't celebrate it tho. I wonder how creepy the party would be if Indonesia holds such Halloween party. LOL. Indonesian ghosts are NOT cool. At all. They have the scariest and the most annoying looks ever. Ask uncle Google to find out.

You wouldn't meet such witty and cute ghost like Casper, charismatic and cool like Dracula, big and brawny like Frankenstein, and so on.

But well, I think Filipino ghosts are more strickening. LOL. At the heart of matter, it's not good idea to have Indonesian and Filipino ghosts in a Halloween party. They definitely would scare you out.

Happy Halloween!

P.S.

I went on streaming Inkigayo since it's Beast's goodbye stage today. ;( So sad but darn, Junhyung was friggin hot! I hate chu. ♥

(It should've been posted yesterday here, but it was raining really hard and my internet connection died bcs of that, so I'm just able to post it here today.)

Finally, we both talked.

I don't know, but it was like a big relief knowing that he doesn't actually change.
Okay, I've been sensing a weird thing of him after having 2 weeks holiday. No, he didn't ward me off or something but... it was screwy to not talking to him as usual as we always do. I mean, he once acted SOOOOO whimsy in front of me and I was like "What on earth happens to him? What an odd." I was sitting in front of my class and he gave me a queer glance secretly as he walked to the canteen.
I didn't even take upon to say to him that he wasn't "himself", and I didn't get used to it. So I just kept my mouth and tried to have it off of my brain but... I admit it bothered my mind the whole day. Like... seriously.

I really couldn't hold it anymore, so I just went to him and said some random yappings (in other words I tried to talk and look as usual as I do) and, guess what, I found him smiling and laughing like he commonly does. Like an original him.

I'm not kidding.

His smile implied a relief as he's finally able to talk to me again as casually. :)

Well, you might've been thinking if 'he' is my crush, boyfriend or sth. He ain't. We both are sorta close and I don't know what made me think he had been avoiding me this whole time. LOL SO WRONG.

And what made me even happier is, he greeted me before I went home today. I'm just really happy. :)
No, it does not mean I have a heart set on him or in whatever form, I'm just...glad because he really wasn't in purpose of eluding me. I misconceived anything, lol.

A Brazilian girl came to my school today as an exchange student. She's going to be here for a year started from today. Her name is Mariana and we've introduced ourselves each other. Hmmm, she seems nice and hopefully we could get along well. Look forward to it!

HAPPY EID MUBARAK TO EVERYONE WHO CELEBRATED IT!

Minal aidin wal faidzin, I'm apologizing for all my mistakes I've ever made from the deepest heart of mine. :)

I know it's a bit late but apologizing does not reckon on time, does it?

So, how was your day during the feast? It might be really fascinating after a full month of fasting on Ramadhan. I hope you had a really great time with your family.
