Meet New Faces

Posted on 8.12.16

It's been forever since my very last writing. And i kinda miss my blog to be honest, i will not put so much words into this post but whatever, so here we go.

Long short story, i finally got placed into this one private university in Jakarta. Uni life wasn't actually that bad as i thought it would be. I quite enjoy everything that goes into my life, and i really thank God for what i have had recently. And the most important thing is, let me introduce my very indescribable uni mates, they're all pretty cool people. And btw the fact is, it's really fun to get to know new people with various kind of thinking, faces, personality and etc. Well you can't actually see their whole true faces here in my blog because i won't post faces here, but the point is i really enjoyed spending time with them and i thought what makes uni life seems not that depressing (because i'm not selected in public uni) is because the people that surrounds me with ~positive energies~ and i'm very glad to met them.

Malang Trip with Vernese

Posted on 19.4.16

Economy Class Train Ticket Jakarta - Malang.

01.30 AM

So, last week i went to Malang with my classmates. We actually were the first class who did this kind of farewell trip and voila!

I T W A S A P R E T T Y F U N T R I P

"i won't share what we have done in Malang, and by that, it will let the memories stays longer and way more beautiful to remember."

But i have something to say which i only can write

For my dearest friends,

I just realized that i have the greatest classmates ever, i can't put it into words but i really am thankful for this kind of friendship i experienced with you guys, for whom i've been with for the past three years in high school, for the people that unconsciously brighten up my days in school and to where i always went back to. I just wanted to say, let our journey stays eternally and just because i rarely talk with you guys but this class means more than a class to me and please just a little reminder that all of you guys will forever be in my heart & thoughts x

Sounds

Posted on 15.3.16

I stand in between two huge walls

It pushing me

It's hard for me to breathe, the lack of oxygen i had, making me feels like i'm about to gone away

No where to run

The only choice i had is to fly away to the sky

But the pain i had to vanish these two walls is very challenging

The dark hollow in front of me, it keep calling my name

Seems like wanting me to go there

Sometimes i feel like giving up and fly away

But

The sound that calls my name, the sound of whatever could happen

I smell magical things live in that darkness in front of me

So then, i decided, to just keep walking in between the dark path that could bring me anywhere,

maybe it could be magical that leads to happiness

Or maybe

Worse.

We don't know what's gonna happen next but,

We'll see, soon.

Learning From Coco Chanel

Posted on 27.2.16

i learned something in life that the most powerful, the most popular people in the world are the saddest one.
i believe that people are pushing and making a super great things by what they have felt before, the sadness that has arise them and explode them from nothing to the most important human being in the whole universe.
it become their motivation to be able to explore more and more and at the end, and from what they do pretty much they'll cover up soon about their sadness.

Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel is one of my woman inspiration. Her biggest trademark is the "little black dress" and suits. What i wanted to keep up with the topic is, after a very tragic thing happened, her lover died in a car accident which she loves the most, she became a super strong women whom invented the timeless fashion brand, Chanel. From living in a orphanage until the death of her lover, her life was so hard for anyone to take.

but then, what she had achieved from her hard work is, nothing in the world could make her more happier than to be with the one she lost from her past life.

her mother,

and her lover.

Pantai, Malam.

Posted on 21.12.15

Tidak ada rasa yang lebih damai seperti saat sedang duduk-duduk di ujung pantai pada malam hari yang sunyi ditemani dengan secangkir cokelat panas dan musik yang menenangkan. Oh, dan juga keajaiban terjangan angin yang menyapu wajah di tengah pantai seakan dunia ini milik sendiri, begitu damai.

Oh, betapa indahnya pantai dan malam hari..
Terima kasih, Tuhan.

Little Steps

Posted on 1.12.15

Well hi!
As you know, today is the second day of my final semester exam in senior high, i should be studying right now, BUT
i can't help it, i really wanted to tell you guys about something that really really amazed me over these past few weeks.

So, on sunday november 22nd, me and my friend went to University of Indonesia. It is located in Depok. We went there to attend one-of-the-every-highschool-students-waiting-for, yes obviously, it is "Teknik Open House," i heard this is the first time they make this kind of events, well as you might see, the other faculty already done it since a long time ago. So lets continue talking about my experience going to the Univeristy of Indonesia.

I quiet wanted to go there just to walk around and chill but i have no right time and have no one to go there with, so i feel super excited that time. We decided to go there by taking the train because one of many factors, and i feel super duper mega excited because i never took train ever in my life a.k.a that was the first time i am taking the train!

It was about 7 o'clock we pumped out into the train, and voila! i thought we should wait longer for the train to come but i was wrong, the train already stood there, seem like it was waiting for me to jump into the train lol kidding. So, it only took about approximately 20 minutes to arrived at Univ. Indonesia Station from Kalibata. and when we got there, we were confused about how we catch up into 'Jembatan Teksas', jembatan teksas connecting the FIB and Teknik so it's easier to get there without walking around UI, because in my experience walking in about more or less 3 kilometres, YOU WILL DIE. I walked from the train station into the FT which means 'dari ujung ke ujung kaki udah copot' because of my ke-sok-tau-an. Please mark my word people, don't ever do that, if this is the first time you went here just like me, just took the ojek or bikun and it'll be better if you bring your own car, please underline my word, don't walk that far.

Our planning was arriving in FT before 8 o'clock so we could take a rest for a little bit longer but it was all out of the plan, we arrived there at 8.20 o'clock and everyone lined up already and they all look so fine, so fresh, smells so good, and THEY DONT LOOK RESTLESS, unlike us. BUT i have no regrets walking around UI, it was quite fun though. The open house ended at 11 o'clock, so we decided to took a rest in front of the library, it was huge and the view is so beautiful, i captured this, these are the photos i took from the trip we had from the University of Indonesia, (i actually hoped to took all these pics by my analogue but i still haven't bought the film so yeah... Enjoy!)

Last Two Months of The Year

Posted on 19.11.15

"For good times and bad times, i'll be on your side forever more. That's what friends are for.."

-Dionne Warwick

I've never been so much happier than today.

Kamis, 19 November 2015.

Agenda pertama hari ini adalah pengambilan nilai ujian praktik mata pelajaran olahraga, seperti tahun ke tahun dilaksanakan senam, dengan tiap-tiap kelas dibagi menjadi dua kelompok. Kebetulan saya mendapat kelompok pertama tetapi mendapat giliran tampil pada saat istirahat kedua. Kurang lebih sebulan persiapan senam sudah kami laksanakan, dan penampilan kami tadi siang menurut saya cukup memuaskan.

Merasa deg-degan sedikitpun tidak, mungkin karena sudah terbiasa tampil semasa di bangku SMP. Menyenangkan. Baru kali ini merasakan suatu getaran dari masa SMA. Agak sedih mengingat sebentar lagi harus berpisah dengan teman-teman yang sudah bersama-sama sejak kelas 1 SMA.

Disaat sudah mulai merasa nyaman dengan suatu keadaan, disaat itu pula saya harus merelakan nya lagi, mengingat waktu terus berjalan, yang akan memisahkan kami semua.

Selekas senam selesai, kami tertunya dengan siapnya langsung mengabadikan kenangan ini bersama-sama sekelas.

DAN

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS...

Pada saat itu pula saya dipanggil oleh sahabat dekat saya SA dan PP.
Sambil membawa kantong plastik mendekat menuju saya, saya sudah senang karena dibelikan minuman oleh mereka, mengingat saya begitu lelah sehabis tampil, dan dengan santainya mereka bilang 'nih'

Ternyata tebakan saya meleset,

Yashica FX-3 super 2000

Tanpa melihat ke sekeliling saya langsung menjerit karena ini adalah tipe kamera yang saya idam-idamkan tetapi tidak kesampaian untuk membeli karena lain dan banyak hal. Tidak pernah terlintas dibenak saya akan mendapatkan kamera analog ini, karena... memang sebelumnya tidak ada yang memberi hadiah ulangtahun seperti ini. Pokoknya mereka adalah teman terbaik dan sudah habis kata untuk menjelaskan betapa beruntungnya saya memiliki teman seperti mereka.

I can't wait to use my baby as soon as possible!

Btw i am very very very thank you for giving me this super dope analogue camera my dear friends, Yol and Nggi <3

P.S. i may be not that good in using this camera because this is my very first analogue camera and i'll learn how to capture good pictures though. My very first photo will be dedicated to them, please underline my word. xo

Well hi that's me, no film cassette inside tho lol.

Happy me!

& blessed.

Books & Pencils

Posted on 14.11.15

Hi! It's been a long time since i wrote my last writing, and i just realize that i should write something despite the lack of energy i have that just wasted from too much preparing for the national examination and SBMPTN. Well, as you know it's getting closer to the day, the day that i have to let go of school and step ahead to the next stage, yes, that's true, the university.

I wanted to talk about my school life. Now i am on the point of real mad confusedness that every 3rd grade of high school students talked about. First, lets just turn back time when i first entered senior year. The first point is my friends, they be like, where should i go? what major do i have to take? and blah blah blah and i remember that i was so happy, focused, really straight forward and well planned for my university and studies. All the positive energy in me are burning still. I already knew what major for me and the university i'll take, but now, today, as we know that it's getting closer to the day of SBMPTN and stuff, i lost track. It feels like all i can see is a dark future, my plan for the study all messed up because of one and many factors.

Fyi, i wanted to take engineering school and on the other side, i wanted to take the international relations studies TOO. Because i have a big interest in that though, in fact, as i see studying IR is my kind of thing. I wanted to be in a part of world's organization and caring about world's problem; war, terrorism, global warming, hunger, etc.

But in my point of view, to be in the world organization, i have to study the real major like for example, the iceberg analyst for the global warming issue, they should be entering maybe the environmental engineering or something that related to that so they could just that easy to enter the organization because they already knew what categorize of their job desk that they'll take. And now i have no plan for my future, for now, i hope.

And yes i know, i should rather study to achieve my dreams than confusing what will i take in the uni but don't you know that super extremely hard problem that haven't been solved just like jsfsalicnidspj they're running out of my head every single day. I should better setting everything up because everyone else is preparing for their running too, to reach the uni and major they'll take. I hope everything will be easy and the choice is in God's hand. Well bye, everyone is on their way to the running track! Wish me a bunch of luck!

So, what do you guys think the major that i have to take?

Pohon dan Ombak

Posted on 25.7.15

Tak ada kata yang tepat untuk mengingatmu, kata sang ombak yang dengan perlahan menghilang dari pandangan pohon kelapa. Sepertinya orang-orang juga lebih tertarik berada di dekat mu ketimbang didekat ku. Selepas sang ombak sampai di ujung pantai, rasanya hanya sejarak satu jengkal antara ombak dan pohon tetapi satu jengkal itu terasa sangat jauh. Entah apa yang membuat itu jauh tetapi mungkin jika hanya ombak yang berusaha mencapai pohon sedangkan pohon bersantai-santai dengan manusia yang sedang beristirahat di bawah rindangnya pohon,

tidak akan menghasilkan apa pun.

Mungkin kah seperti ini percakapan sang ombak untuk pohon

Pernahkah aku mengganggumu, maaf jika kamu merasa terganggu.
Tapi boleh kah aku menikmati kerinduan yang merasuk ke sanubariku; dengan membayangkan seyummu, sentuhanmu, dan kamu tahu? suaramu mengalir di telingaku, setidaknya cukup membuatku merasakan kehadiranmu dan kerinduanku akan dirimu
Jangan kau takut, cukup sampai rasa itu menghilang, entah sampai kapan
Tapi aku berjanji akan tidak mengusik kehidupanmu

Previously, on Hannibal..

Posted on 7.7.15

Sebuah film serial yang sangat menarik perhatian saya kali ini adalah Hannibal. Sebuah film yang sangat memegang erat unsur pembunuh berantai. Salah satu penyebab ketertarikan saya akan serial ini karena dari awal mereka telah menampilkan gambaran-gambaran yang sangat sadis dan menjijikan tapi sangat indah dan membuat saya tidak bisa berhenti mengucapkan kata "wow" di setiap scene-nya.

Hannibal diangkat dari buku Red Dragon, Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal, dan Hannibal Rising yang ditulis oleh Thomas Harris. Banyak yang penasaran akan apa isi dari otak sang penulis, setelah saya telusuri ternyata Thomas terinspirasi dari seorang tahanan yang kabur dan membunuh banyak orang dan tidak lupa ia pun memakan apa yang telah ia bunuh.

Kanibalisme, merupakan sebuah fenomena di mana satu makhluk hidup makan makhluk hidup sejenis lainnya. Kunci utama serial ini yang membuat saya tertegun adalah sosok Dr. Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) seorang forensic psychiatrist yang memiliki pekerjaan sampingan yaitu sebagai pembunuh berantai dan kanibal. Hal lain yang membuat saya geleng-geleng kepala yang dikarenakan akting dari Dr. Lecter tersebut yang menghipnotis karena sangat manipulatif, dingin, dan high class. Hannibal sangat keren karena dia sangat elegan. Begitu pula dengan motif-motif membunuhnya yang sangat rapih, cerdas, dan teliti. Tidak lupa pula dengan mengambil bagian-bagian organ seseorang yang telah ia bunuh dan memakan serta menyajikan 'makanan' nya dengan cantik.

Ini sangat menarik perhatian saya, dan saya kerap kali ingin sekali mencoba masakan Dr. Lecter, dia punya cita rasa masakan yang tinggi. Scene yang paling saya tunggu-tunggu adalah scene ketika Dr. Lecter masak dan makan. Sangat indah. Tapi seharusnya saya jijik melihat Dr. Lecter memasak karena yang ia masak adalah daging manusia/organ-organ yang sangat tidak etis untuk dipotong-potong sebagai hidangan makanan.

Hannibal memakai istilah Prancis dalam Season pertamanya; Apéritif, Amuse-Bouche, Potage, Oeuf, Coquilles, Entrée, Sorbet, Fromage, Trou Normand, Buffet Froid, Rôti, Relevés, dan Savoureux. Sedangkan di Season kedua istilah Jepang yang dipakai; Kaiseki, Sakizuki, Hassum, Takiawase, Mokozuke, Futamono, Yakimon, Su- Zakana, Ko No Mono, Tome Wan, dan Mizumono. Dan di season ke tiga yang saat ini sedang ditunggu-tunggu menggunakan istilah Italia; Antipasto, Primavera, Secondo, Aperitivo, Contorno, dll. Yang selanjutnya season 3 episode 6 akan keluar pada tanggal 9 juli 2015!

The Human Totem Pole, one of the crime
scenes in season one of "Hannibal"

Futamono: Old Friends for Dinner

Saya sangat menyarankan bagi kalian yang suka film-film bergenre gore, sadistic dan semacamnya untuk menonton serial yang sangat sangat keren ini. Karena visualisasi dari Hannibal sangatlah nyata, bagian-bagian tubuhnya dan potongan-potongan serta darahnya sangat dibuat dengan baik, tidak setengah-setengah dan bisa membuat eneg dan menjijikkan sekali. Nah dari situ lah saya beranggapan bahwa ini adalah serial masterpiece yang sangat tidak boleh dilewatkan untuk pecinta gore. Alur nya juga tidak asal dibuat begitu saja, dengan tujuan awal memegang betul unsur-unsur psychological thriller. Sinematografinya sangat di nomor satukan (walaupun saya tidak terlalu mengerti tentang sinematografi) tapi pengambilan gambarnya sangat pas dan kualitasnya juga tidak diragukan lagi.

Jadi, gimana? Berniat untuk bergabung dan makan malam bersama, kami?

Holiday Reading Essentials

Posted on 28.6.15

Having my first holiday reading done today.

Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage

by Haruki Murakami.

One of my favourite writer ever since. His writings are simple and meaningful, from what i have read his type of writings are mostly about a lonely person who lives in a cruel world and he/she just wanted to disappear from this world.

So, the colorless life is such an amazing story, but it is not on top of my all time favourite books. It tells about friendship, love, and etc. But the story dominantly talk about a true friendship, a group of 5 high school student who gets along together but at the end they have to accept the truth that they have to go their own different path. As i read the book, just like what Mr. Murakami usually do, there are lots of inspiring quotes in it. The story shows lots of emotion, the way Murakami describe how lonely Tsukuru (the main character) is, truly informational.

Here's another information about the book
An instant #1 New York Times Bestseller, Colorless Tsukuru Tazaki and His Years of Pilgrimage is the remarkable story of a young man haunted by a great loss; of dreams and nightmares that have unintended consequences for the world around us; and of a journey into the past that is necessary to mend the present. Here Haruki Murakami—one of the most revered voices in literature today—gives us a story of love, friendship, and heartbreak for the ages.

So, do you mind checking out the book? and now i am continue reading new book, 'the Catcher in the Rye' by J.D Salinger. It's such an interesting book too, i really am enjoy reading fiction over again recently so here's the picture of the books that lays in my bed.

Vertical Garden Method

Posted on 23.6.15

Bangunan-bangunan di Jakarta semakin lama semakin meningkat. Dan kebalikan nya untuk lahan perkebunan. Sedangkan alat transportasi semakin banyak, dan tentu saja menghasilkan gas-gas yang sangat banyak. Apabila jumlah pohon di Jakarta semakin menipis dan malahan semakin banyak gedung-gedung pencakar langit, apa yang akan terjadi? tentu saja pasti tahu jawabannya, Global Warming.

Global Warming akan terus meningkat, tapi bagaimana kita meminimalisir kenaikan global warming yang bisa membahayakan bumi? salah satunya dengan adanya pohon. Tapi melihat penjelasan di atas, bahwa lahan untuk pohon semakin menipis, bagaimana caranya? Caranya adalah dengan metode baru yang menurut saya sangat efesien dan menguntungkan. Yaitu, Vertical Garden.

Vertical Garden adalah menanam tanaman secara vertikal yang dikarenakan keterbatasan lahan. Selain membantu menghasilkan oksigen, vertical garden juga menambah estetika suatu lahan/bangunan. Jadi mulai sekarang tidak ada lagi alasan untuk tidak menanam tanaman untuk kebaikan kita bersama.

Cara membuat vertical garden pun tidak lah susah. Bisa disimak di sini http://mulanovich.blogspot.com/2014/02/cara-membuat-vertical-garden.html

Indah bukan? Selamat mencoba buat bagi yang tertarik. Dan jika saya mempunyai rumah nanti, akan saya rancang sedemikian rupa vertical garden ala saya dan yang terpenting ini juga memiliki fungsi untuk me-relax-kan mata karena kehijauan dan keasrian tanaman di sekitar rumah saya kelak hehe.

Langkah Kecil Untuk si Rimba

Posted on 22.6.15

Selamat memasuki jam-jam kritis berpuasa semuanya. Semoga puasa hari ini berjalan dengan lancar, aman, dan sentosa. Hari ini gue mau ngasih tau betapa gue sebel banget sama orang yang memakai tissue berlebihan. Ya, gue sangat sensitif akan hal ini.

Bisa dibilang gue pecinta tissue. Maniak tissue. Atau apalah itu sebutannya. Gue sangat tidak bisa hidup tanpa tissue. Barang yang paling nggak boleh ketinggalan untuk persiapan jalan-jalan, bukan handphone bukan dompet, tapi tissue. Gue gak tau bakal gimana kalau nggak ada tissue, khususnya toilet-tissue. Walaupun tentu saja sebagian besar tempat pasti menyediakan tissue, tapi i don't feel like using public tissue. Kecuali kalau kepepet banget ya. Dan tidak sedikit orang-orang menilai gue "ih sok bersih banget sih, banyak gaya lo!"

Selain penggila tissue gue juga sangat gila kebersihan dan kerapihan. Ngeselin banget kan, bagi sebagian orang.

Ya. Kembali ke topik awal. "Memakai tissue belebih"

Sering kali gue ngeliat adik menggunakan tissue berlebih. Dan emang, gue selalu stock tissue di kamar, kamar mandi, dan sebagian tempat di sisi rumah. Satu dua kali dibiarkan aja dia memakai tissue kebanyakan, tapi lama kelamaan gue jadi sebel sendiri dan akhirnya gue meledak dan meneriaki dia yang tidak berdosa, berdosa sih karena memakai tissue berlebihan. "KALAU PAKE TISSUE GAK USAH BANYAK-BANYAK! SECUKUPNYA AJA! BUANG-BUANG POHON AJA!"

NAHLOH.

Ups. Keceplosan dan tiba-tiba hening diantara kita. Tiba-tiba adik gue memecahkan keheningan diantara kita dengan kata-katanya yang tidak berdosa 'loh kan yang lebih sering pake tissue itu kakak? Mestinya kakak dong yang buang-buang pohon?'

Makasih, dik. Telah mengingatkanku akan betapa borosnya diri gue ketika berhadapan dengan tissue?!@##$#%$#@#% tapi kamu juga termasuk boros kok, adikku tersayang. (anaknya tetep gak mau disalahin)

Nah dari sini gue cuma pengen kasih tau, jangan muluk-muluk memakai tissue seperti gue ya karena sesungguhnya tissue terbuat dari bahan baku kulit kayu yang dijadikan pulp (bubur kertas). Dan pastinya kayu didapat dari penebahan pohon-pohon di hutan.

Fun Fact ternyata penggunaan tissue berlebihan --> menebang pohon --> global warming. Ternyata selain menambah kerusakan hutan bisa bikin global warming ya? Jawabannya iya.

CATATAN PENTING untuk kita semua:

1 pohon berumur 6 tahun hanya bisa menghasilkan 40 lembar tissue, tapi bayangkan berapa banyak orang yang memakai tissue di dunia ini? Kalau kita alihkan/mengurangi jumlah pemakaian tissue satu pohon berumur 6 tahun itu bisa mengkasilkan O2 yang bisa menghidupi 3 orang di dunia ini.

Nah yuk kita menjaga lingkungan mulai dari cara kecil seperti ini, walaupun untuk gue juga sangat sulit karena gue penggila tissue tapi apa salahnya untuk mencoba hal yang positif?

What Really Leads To Success?

Posted on 21.6.15

I read lots of people confusions and worries about their future. About how it gonna be, will they survive,
or even worse, the blankness about their future. For example like they haven't plan any goals yet for themselves.

But on the other side, seeing from the older generations, there are lots of successful people too out there with their own ways. Either from Architecture, environment, medical, business, law, etc.

But then i started to worry about mine too. Will i be a successful person? I want to be a valuable person. I want to make something big. Because i am here for a reason. But how? how can i reach that?

I have just watched one of my favourite Youtube channel, TED-Ed. The video talks about how to be a successful person.

These are some points from the video:
1. Love what you do
2. Work really hard
3. Focus on one thing not everything
4. Keep pushing yourself
5. Put good ideas
6. Improving yourself from what you do
7. Serve other something that value because something isn't just about me, me, me.
8. Persist because there's no overnight success

How much effort you put in = the amount of success you will have.

From the point number five, when you feel like giving up, just keep reminding yourself that being successful makes you a happier person.

I or we might not be successful yet but this may be one of my little notes to reach our dreams!
