It's time for Friends

Betsfriends will always be Bestfriends...

Two weeks ago, I met Ema, Vina, and Kartika. We had fast-breaking together at my house before we headed to Pejaten Village and watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It's been quite a while since we met up. I'm glad that although we don't see each other as much as we used to be, because of everyone's activities, we still always manage the time to meet. We also always celebrate everyone's birthday together. They are truly my best friends ❤

Star Time gathering shop and new friends...

Last week, I went to the Star Time shop gathering with Tyas. Star Time shop is a fan online-store for Johnny's Entertainment merchandise in Indonesia. Last week was their anniversary and they invited a lot of their customers to join a little party to celebrate it. Because the theme was Hey!Say!JUMP, I immediately agreed when Muthi, my online friend, asked me to go there with Tyas and her. That was also the very first time I met Muthi. She's a university student in UI in the same faculty as Tari and Tyas, so yeah, Tari knows her :3. She's a fan of Arashi and other JE boys. I've been talking to her for a few months through Twitter and BBM before we finally met. She's a very cheerful girl. She could get along with everyone really fast. I also met Ashasy at the gathering. She's a high school student I knew from Twitter. We talked a lot on Twitter because both of us are fans of Hey! Say! JUMP. Actually, I've met her at Gelar Jepang UI before, but all we did when we met was glanced at each other, hahaha. None of us braved enough to greet each other properly because we were too shy :P But at the Star Time gathering, we finally shook hands and we started talking to each other a lot ^^ Yay, I've made new friends, thanks Japanese fandom~

Reunion with some of Mabit Friends...

Last Tuesday, I had fast-breaking with Bunda Dewi, Mia, Molly, and Tyas. Oh my God, we hadn't met for a few weeks. I'm so glad that I met them. I had a good time whenever I'm with my Mabit friends. Of course, Mia and Molly never failed to make me laugh with their absurdness 😆 On Wednesday, me, Bunda Dewi, Mia, and Molly went to Metro TV studio to watch Kick Andy live. It was all thanks to Molly and the kindergarten where she's working now. I can't believe that she's a teacher for playgroup and kindergarten kids now. I'm so proud of her ❤❤ The teachers from that kindergarten allowed us to watch the tapping of Kick Andy. The episode that we watched will be aired on September 1st. Btw, the theme of Kick Andy was about the great people behind the world of health. And those people were all women. Anyway, we got new books for free and we learned a lot from the show. Moreover, I'm so glad that I met them and had great times. 

This week I will have another fast-breaking with my friends. On Friday, I will have a reunion with my high school friends at Ancol beach. It's been almost two years since I graduated from high school. I can't wait to meet those freak awesome people again. I wonder how much they have changed since graduation times.

On Saturday, I will have a fast-breaking with Mabit Big Family. Yaaay... I'm sooo looking forward to this event too because a lot of people from Auxiliary and Aroma will come. I bet it will be fun to meet up with them again 😆

Friends, their existence in your life is amazing, right? ❤

60 minutes phonecall

I rarely have a long phonecall. I even never called someone if it's not really important or necessary or emergency. I prefer talking face to face than having a long phone call, basically, because I don't know what to say on the phone. I rarely talk to people and I'm more of a listener. But hey... today, for the first time, I have the longest phonecall in my life. Eh, actually, the second time. First, when my friend, Maulida, called me because she had a big problem. We talked a lot on the phone, or more like she talked a lot and I listened and sometimes gave a response. I even called her twice after our call was cut due to the time limit. I called her again because she hadn't finished telling her problems. We talked for one hour and after we ended the call, I thought that it was the first time I have a long phone call.

 

Today, my friend Danty called me. She said she was bored at home and she wanted to go to my house but due to the long distance between our house, she decided to just call me because she felt lonely. Then, she started talking about her boyfriend and for an hour, I'm listening to her love problems. Sometimes I would say, "Oh... Be patient." or "Really, that's annoying." or "Well, I guess so..."

Lol... I just replied to her very long story with these short lines. Although sometimes I gave her advice when she asked me to, I really didn't talk too much.

"Why do you keep silent? Talk more... Tell me your problems too." She said after she finished telling me about her problems.

"Eh, I don't have any problems to tell."

"LIED. Don't you have something to talk about?"

"Err... Not really. Well, okay. Do you know where is Megaria?"

Lol... I ended up asked her the address of the mall that I'm going to go to tomorrow. I really don't know what to talk about on the phone. Maybe I'm a boring person. Why am I even writing this? I don't know. I just want to write it down, maybe someday in the future when I've become a good talker on the phone, I will laugh at this entry when I read it again. Just wondering when that day will come 😆

Not because I don't want to....

Currently, I'm downloading episode one of Orthros no Inu dorama. Hikaru played as a narcotic seller and he got quite an important role here, so I decided to give it a try. Takizawa Hideaki and Nishikido Ryo are the main characters. 

Ryuzaki Shinji is a mysterious and ambitious man with a wicked heart, who possesses the power to heal pain and illness with the touch of his hand. Aoi Ryosuke, on the other hand, is a high school teacher with a gentle heart, but who has the ability to kill with his touch. The two happen to meet, resulting in a battle of good and evil. (from dramawiki)

Interesting, isn't it? The only Nishikido's drama that I have watched was One Litre of Tears. Indeed, he did a great job in it, and I have heard so many compliments about Takki's acting. Although the main reason for me trying to watch this is Hikaru, Takki and Nishikido is also one of few Japanese actors that I respect. I hope my internet speed doesn't bully me 😐

Today, I chatted with Dewi, my high school best friend, on Facebook. She asked me to hang out with Putri and some other high school friends. I think it has been more than 10 times since she asked me to go, but I always refuse. I kinda feel guilty. Haha... I'm sorry. I'm really really sorry, but I really don't have money to hang out or play. And although they offer to treat me and such, I still don't want to. I don't want to depend on their money just because I want to have fun. What kind of friend I am? I cannot ask my parents to give me money since they have to pay for my college fee, and also my brothers, and other things. We're not in good condition and not at the right time to have fun outside, so, until I'm sure that my wallet is enough to accompany me going outside, I will stay home on this holiday. I still have saved money to watch Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows though. I really need a part-time job. 

Happy Birthday, Amanda!!

Amanda, huh? That's not even your real name, but you keep telling people that your name is Amanda, so yeah, I'll call you Manda in this post wkwkwk. It's been more than 2 years since you have been using that name. Haha... Happy birthday, one of my best girls. We've been together for almost six years. Wow... That's quite long, right? Btw, I've planned to go to your house tonight, right at your birthday, but for some (annoying) reasons, I have to postpone it until tomorrow, so for now, this is your birthday present ❤

I'm sorry because I couldn't come tonight. But I promise we will celebrate your birthday! Happy birthday. May all the best go with you. Oh, before you're leaving to somewhere in Europe (I forgot where do you want to go with your college choirs this year?), you must meet me to get the list of souvenirs that I want you to buy it for me 👀

JK.

Gelar Jepang UI 2011

*This is gonna be a long post. I've warned you. 

As a 'newbie' in the community of Japan lovers, although I have fallen for their dorama since a long time ago, I decided to visit Gelar Jepang UI 2011 (An event created by the University of Indonesia. Some kind of Japanese festival which is held once every year). Thanks to Ema, Kartika, and Vina who were willing to accompany me today, although you guys are not a fan like me hehe. You're the best ❤

So, we promised to set off at 9 am because the schedule of Gelar Jepang itself is started around 9.30 am. But, because I was staying up all night long to download some Shounen Club episodes in order to watch my beloved Hey!Say!JUMP, I woke up at 10 am 👀 Ema, Tika, and Vina who are not just ordinary friends for me indeed have known about this habit of mine, so they didn't go to my house until I called them. In the end, we went to UI at 12.30 am (I know it was already late, but at least my Dad was willing to drive us to UI so we don't have to pay for the train, hehe). Well, because that was the first time for us to visit such an event, we were fascinated by so many anime characters that surrounded us, such as Naruto, Ichigo from Bleach, Kamen Rider, etc. Well, of course, they are not real anime characters. They are just ordinary people without any supernatural power who dressed like those anime characters. Hmm... how do you call it? Cosplayers?

Anyway... I was tempted to buy a lot of unimportant stuff that was sold there such as Hey!Say!JUMP Uchiwas, pins, and other interesting things. But I managed to hold myself not to buy it by thinking that that stuff will only satisfy my fangirling desire for a moment. Although I couldn't stop myself from buying those Japanese foods.  I even bought Okonomiyaki that cost 26.000 rupiah, which is very expensive for me. Well, the hardest thing that I can do is hold the temptation of foods. I was also tempted to buy a Japanese traditional toy, Kendama. If you don't know what is kendama, here is the picture. But, because the price is expensive, I decided to save it for when we were about to go home. Too bad when I was looking for that toy again, the seller said that the toy has been sold out -__-

About the event itself, I think it's quite fun. Even Ema, Tika, and Vina who are not fans of Japan said that they would love to go to such an event again next time because they thought it's kind of unique. The most unique thing about this event is the fact that we were surrounded by a lot of cosplayers indeed. There's a cosplay competition too and we watched it. From that competition, we can make some conclusions: If you want to win the cosplay competition, make sure that your costume looks really similar and very expensive to the original character anime, and you have to be good looking. Or make sure that you choose an anime character who always hides his face with masks, such as Kamen Rider or Power Ranger. Evidently, those cosplayers with these traits won the competition. Judging by their performances, I think there's nothing special about it. It looks kind of ordinary if I may say. I don't know was it because I never watched a Cosplay competition before, but overall, the performance of those cosplayers was ordinary indeed. Some of them even looked super zonk, where they were only standing at the stage while moving their mouth to follow the song. What do you call it? Lypsinc? I don't know what to say anymore...

There's an awesome performance from a group of college-student of UI. They showed us some kind of Japanese traditional dance attractively, it was pretty amusing when they asked the audience to dance with them. In the end, me, Ema, Tika, and Vina decided to take a walk again because we got bored with the dance 😆

Overall, it was fun and it's not boring because of the appearance of those cosplayers around us. The four of us took some pictures with those cosplayers too. But we were so selective in choosing cosplayers who could take pictures with us, hahaha. Here are some pictures...

I forgot his character, but he won the number 2 for cosplay: the most favorite

And that's all for now. Jaa nee~

I seriously don't know what to write as title

One word for you two, Mia and Maya..... K-A-N-G-E-N!

  This feeling makes me want to cry, somehow.

>.<

Otanjoubi Omedeto, Tyasharas!

Otanjoubi Omedetou~

The one whom people claim as my twin

The big fan of Arashi

The one who claimed herself as Sakurai Sho's

My Taurus partner

May all the best go with you

Don't be like me because... that's sucks (Ryan Higa said)

You're one year younger than me but you are more mature

Stay like that, because if you stay immature like me, you'll get nowhere

Traktiran adalah kewajiban!

come to think of it, we do look a bit similar~

I should treasure this one birthday

Hey guys...

Yes, it's my birthday. I'm now 19. I'm not feeling that excited actually. Well, I know I probably look like someone who always very excited about birthday, and yes, I am. I will be very excited about my friend's birthday, but honestly, I'm not that excited about my own birthday, hahaha. Oh, I just found out that my birthday is in the same date as NEWS's debut anniversary. How cool, isn't it? B-)

Today went fine. It's a rainy day actually and I thank God for that. I like rain and I think the rain that pour down from the sky today is His present for me, hehehe. Oh, and one of my college's friend has the same birthday as me. Happy birthday to you, Cho Prakoso. And why were you sticking around me all the time at college earlier? Hahaha :P

Thank you to all of you who say happy birthday to me through facebook, twitter, text messages, bbm, phone, etc. Really appreciate it. And thanks for all the wishes too. Btw, this is the last year I will be in teens's age. Next year I'm going to be 20. You don't know how sad I am because of that. That's why I think I need to treasure this one birthday. 19. Time flies... I want to go back to elementary school, middle school, highschool, if only I can.

By the way, Ema, Kiki, Tika, and Vina came to my house tonight. They brought me a birthday cake. I really didn't expect that. Thank you very much, guys. Ever since elementary school until now, you are still one of best people I ever know. And the cake is very delicious too. Thank You very much guys. 

Fyi, Hey!Say!JUMP's new single preorder has been opened (it's opened in my birthday too, another awesome coincidence B-)) Just FYI, because I myself is not going to preorder it. Not because I don't want to. It's just the price is too expensive for a poor college-student like me. Trust me, I really want to preorder but my pocket is totally empty. I just read the information again and I can't believe that everyone already pre-order it. the one with lowest price (which still very expensive for me) has been sold out for Limited Edition CD and Regular Edition CD. Sugoiii....... Go go go Hey!Say!JUMP.!JUMP HIGHER! Sorry I can't buy your CD. What kind of fan I am?

And my mom told me that I can ask anything for my birthday present, and I asked her whether I can pre-order the regular edition of JUMP's new single, and she said I can. Yaaaay~ But don't worry, someday, maybe in two or three years later, I will go to Japan and watch your concert LIVE. AMEN!!

PS: It supposed to be a birthday post for myself. I planned to write something awesome about myself in this post but end up with another fangirling again. Hahaha... Sorry, I just can't help it. Well, once again, hontou ni arigatou minna-san for making this day isn't too boring. Dan Terimakasih, Ya Allah, sudah memberikanku kesempatan untuk merasakan umur 19 tahun. :)

Recommended Bloggers

Hi, guys... 

I suggest you read this entry and open every link I post here because you're gonna love their writing. I'm following many blogs, but there are some of these blogs which I think very awesome. Here are recommended bloggers you need to know: 

1. Mella Meida Yusuf 

http://mellayusuf.blogspot.com/ 

"Ibu cintamu adalah samudra tak bertepi, kasih sayangmu adalah lautan hikmah terdalamku, nasihatmu adalah penyejuk dalam kegundahanku." 

This cute little girl is my college friend. The way she talks in real life is very Betawi, hahaha. Tulisannya indah banget, dan gue kaget saat pertama kali membaca gaya tulisannya. Gabungan Andrea Hirata, Habbiburrahman El Shirazy, dan sastrawan-sastrawan hebat lainnya. Kalau kalian membaca tulisannya, kalian nggak akan menyangka bahwa cewek ini adalah tukang latah dan suka mengkombinasikan bahasa Betawi dengan Sunda. Mella belum terlalu percaya diri untuk menulis banyak, tapi gue tahu bahwa di otaknya tersimpan begitu banyak ide luar biasa yang perlu dikeluarkan. Yes, she's a very awesome writer. ❤

2. Sumayyah Maulida Hamka

http://maulida-diaryque.blogspot.com/

http://moelsgoneril.wordpress.com/

"Aku hanya ingin malam ini mengetuk pintu Tuhan, aku bahkan tak peduli, apakah Ia akan menjawab ketukan ku yang patah-patah ini, atau Ia akan menyahut hanya di dalam rumahnya saja...? 'ada apalagi mol? kenapa kamu begitu banyak meminta?'"

Maulida, Molly, Maya, call her whatever you want. This another cute little girl is my friend I knew from Mabit Nurul Fikri. Isi blognya adalah curahan hatinya, dan Molly sangat jujur dalam menuliskan pikirannya ke dalam tulisan. Gaya menulisnya sama persis dengan gaya bicaranya sehari-hari yang blak-blakkan dan penuh kiasan-kiasan lucu. Tapi, dalam tulisannya yang sangat jujur dan sederhana itu, Molly selalu menyisipkan ungkapan-ungkapan unik dan bagus yang membuat kegiatan yang sebenarnya biasa saja menjadi terdengar luar biasa. Itulah yang seringkali membuat gue berdecak kagum ❤

3. Zahrika Prastamia

http://kamia16.blogspot.com/

"Ketika kita sudah berada di posisi yang sudah kita rencanakan, yang kita dapat malah nol besar. Kenapa bisa begitu? Karena kita tidak melakukan apa yang sudah kita rencanakan sampai mengkhayal setinggi langit. Alasannya sangat umum "TAKUT &RAGU-RAGU".

Another college friend of mine. Yes, you can tell once you read her writing that she's a very bright person. Dan sangat kritis terhadap banyak hal. Mia adalah sosok karakter yang tidak hanya membaca buku untuk iseng karena dari yang gue amati dari dia, Mia selalu menyerap bacaan-bacaanya. Blognya pun bukan berisi cerita kehidupan sehari-hari seperti kebanyakan orang, melainkan tulisan-tulisan berat tapi sederhana yang sangat recommended untuk dibaca, karena dia selalu berusaha mengangkat topik yang bisa dipelajari di setiap tulisannya, dan bukan sekedar tulisan iseng belaka ❤

4. Gadistya Novitri

http://haveabreakfast.blogspot.com/  

"Kasihku… 

Matematika tak bisa mengukur kita 

Satu tambah satu bukanlah dua 

Satu tambah satu menjadi satu 

Kita" 

This sweet girl is another friend of mine I knew from Mabit. Yes, she's a math teacher and also a medical college student at University of Indonesia, makanya kadang dia bisa mencampurkan ilmu matematika ke dalam tulisannya, haha. Gadis menulis banyak tentang kehidupan sehari-harinya di blog, dan dia termasuk apik dalam menceritakan kehidupan sehari-harinya. Blog biasa seperti kebanyakan orang, tapi gue merasa harus memasukkannya ke dalam daftar recommended bloggers karena dia selalu berhasil membuat gue kagum dengan gaya tulisannya selalu berubah-ubah dan unik ❤

5. Asriana Syarifa Septari

http://asrianasyarifa.blogspot.com/

"Being a child means freedom. Yes, you can express anything you want straight-away, without being troubled by what people will judge about you. Anything. Because you never think of other people. You just want to become your very self, telling others how you feel. That's just utterly great, isn't it?"

Salah satu blog yang selalu gue baca setiap kali blogwalking adalah blog gadis ini, teman Mabit yang lain, Tari. Gue selalu merasa tulisannya menarik untuk dibaca meski seringkali ia hanya menuliskan kehidupan sehari-harinya saja. Mungkin karena Tari hampir selalu menggunakan bahasa Inggris di tulisannya. Gue sangat menyukai gaya bahasa Inggris-nya dan tulisannya membuat gue belajar kosokata baru, hehe. Tari selalu menemukan hal-hal sederhana yang bisa dipelajari dalam pengalaman sehari-harinya, yang kemudian akan dia tuliskan. Hal itu membuat gue berpikir bahwa kita bisa mempelajari hal sekecil apapun dalam hidup. Kita hanya perlu melatih diri dan pikiran kita untuk lebih peka terhadapnya. Btw, I kinda miss her old writing about japanese stuffs hahaha ❤

6. Muhammad Imandadi Alam

http://imandadi.blogspot.com/

"Tidak sedikit orang berkata “aku tidak tau, ilmuku belum sampai kesitu” lalu tidak perduli dan menghilang di balik tirai ketidakingintahuan."

He is my cousin. He is pretty handsome, isn't he? Satu-satunya cowok yang blognya amat sangat gue rekomendasikan untuk dibaca, meski ada banyak blog cowok lain yang juga bagus, tapi blog kakak sepupu gue ini adalah salah satu blog favorit. Dia pengarang lagu dan dia adalah salah satu seniman yang gue kagumi. Gue selalu dibuat kagum, berdebar, dan berakhir dengan tarikan napas puas atas tulisan-tulisannya. Ia bercerita tentang hidupnya, tapi bukan kehidupan sehari-hari biasa. Mas Dadi menceritakan potongan-potongan hidupnya yang terlihat sederhana menjadi sebuah cerita pendek dengan gaya tulisan yang tidak biasa. Ada unsur sastra dan kombinasi kata yang seringkali membuat gue terpana saking apiknya ia menyusunnya, membuatnya menjadi sebuah cerpen yang tidak membosankan untuk dibaca di setiap paragrafnya. Dia punya bakat menjadi penulis sejati. :)

Nah, that's all. I hope you enjoy my writing and hopefully I can be as great as these people. Everyone is a writer of their own lives, indeed. But not everyone is gifted to create amazing scenario of their lives. But we can always keep trying to make it better and better while we still have time, right? So, I'll keep on trying :)

Pembukaan Mabit Intensif 2011, Sleepover, Kegalauan

Halo blog...

Hari ini pembukaan Mabit Intensif 2011 dan acaranya berjalan dengan seru, lho. Tadi ada grup Ganas yang tampil memeriahkan acara. Tapi yang benar-benar membuat acara hidup adalah penampilan tiga mabiters 2011, Arif, Haikal, dan Dicky, yang super duper absurd. Gue dan Risna berkali-kali heboh dan ngakak berduaan di belakang gara-gara melihat aksi tiga adik mabiters kita itu. Mereka super duper kreatif dan kocak, lho. Ada bagian dimana Arif berakting sebagai Mario Teguh, tapi namanya dipelesetin jadi Mario BarDoh (Dohnya sengaja diawali huruf kapital sendiri untuk membentuk kata Doh. Kalau kalian punya plurk, kata doh itu akan berubah menjadi emoticon bergambar orang menepuk jidat, hahaha). Arif tampil apik banget memerankan Mario BarDoh, mirip abis dan super duper absurd. Lalu mereka juga bernyanyi lagu-lagu Islam dan band modern. Bahkan mereka mengubah lagu Pejantan Tangguh-nya Sheila on 7 menjadi Mabiters Tangguh. Liriknya juga mereka ubah jadi bercerita tentang mabiters gitu. Kereeen~

Ajari aku 'tuk jadi mabiters tangguh, mungkin terlalu lama aku t'lah bersembunyi

Menatap nilai TO pun aku tak mampu, soal SNMPTN pun terlalu susah untukku

Itu adalah sedikit potongan lirik yang mereka ubah (maaf kalau agak-agak salah, hehehe). Mabiters 2011 juga membuat video yang berisi slide foto-foto kenangan mereka selama lima bulan berada di Mabit, foto yang berisi kebersamaan dan persahabatan mereka. Lalu, mereka juga memasukkan foto-foto kenangan Mabit dari angkatan atas, termasuk angkatan 2010, angkatan Mabit gue. Whoaah.... videonya membuat gue mengingat lagi masa-masa indah yang dulu. Kalian keren, Equation (Mabiters 2011), semoga kalian semua diterima di PTN yang diinginkan tahun ini. Jaga ukhuwah kalian ya, dan tetap semangat. Bismillah... Ingat bahwa kalian satu tujuan~

Sekarang gue udah di tempat tidur tersayang. Disamping gue, si Nurisna Hasanah sedang tertidur pulas. Iya, dia menginap lagi di rumah karena udah kemaleman untuk pulang ke rumahnya yang super jauh itu. Sebelum tidur tadi, Risna lagi belajar sebenarnya, tapi gue malah mengganggunya dengan berinternet ria dan dia pun malah ikut-ikutan browsing hal-hal nggak penting sama gue dan melupakan buku pelajarannya, hahaha. I'm a bad influence, right? -__-

Btw, karena Mabit Intensif 2011 sudah dibuka, berarti sudah semakin dekat waktunya untuk gue mulai mengurus TO Intensif Mabit. Iya, inilah penyebab kegalauan gue. Gue belum cetak kartu registrasi lho, padahal deadlinenya dua hari yang lalu. Tadinya mau cetak hari ini sama Kak Hen, tapi nggak jadi karena akhirnya kita malah nonton Pembukaan. Akhirnya baru besok deh, kita akan ke percetakan. Aaa, when will I stop being a deadliner? >.< 

Yah, cukup sekian keluh dan kesah hari ini, ya... Sekarang udah jam 1 pagi dan gue harus tidur. Eh, tapi kayaknya sih gue nggak bakal tidur karena ada banyak file Hey!Say!JUMP yang harus gue download, hahaha. Sumpah, nggak penting abis. Okay, then bye bye~

Janji Kita, Kawan

Nanti akan tiba waktunya

Untuk kita berpisah ke masing-masing arah

Mimpi dan cita-cita kita berbeda

Lintasan yang harus kita lalui pun saling bersilangan

Namun kini selagi kita masih bersama

Genggamlah tanganku dan nikmati setiap detik yang ada

Ayo berlari dan sebarkan mimpi kita pada dunia

Ciptakanlah bukti bahwa kita ada

Dan jika suatu hari nanti kau telah mencapai puncakmu

Dan aku telah mencapai puncakku

Ayo kita bangun lagi jembatan penghubung

Untuk menghargai kisah persahabatan ini

Happy Birthday Kiki Riski Ananda!

Kemarin, tanggal 10 Maret 2011 adalah ulang tahun sahabat sepanjang masa, Kiki Riski Ananda. WOOOHOOOOOO.... You're turning 18. You're officially an adult now. Well, gue mau nostalgia sebentar selagi kita berbicara tentang ulang tahun ini. We became friends when I transferred to your school during the 6th grade in elementary school. So, we've been best friends for 7 years. I can't believe both of us are officially adults now. Do you remember in our 6th grade, we both were addicted to Animal shows on TV? Kita berdua dulu sering main "beburu hewan" kayak di Wild Animal. Kita berburu kucing di sekitar sekolah, yang kita anggap singa 😂

And after we graduated from elementary school, we both entered the same junior high. Which makes our friendship stronger. Dan SMP ini pun menakdirkan kita untuk bertemu another bunch of weird people: Ema, Kartika, Revina, Dianti, and Mara (even though she's not in the same school, she became one of our precious friends). 

Yesterday, we can't do something big for your birthday, so we bought two cupcakes and brought them to your house at night. Hehe, an ordinary birthday surprise but that's true from our heart. Kiki, we hope you have all the happiness and may all the best go with you. We love you very much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! <3

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIAWCHAN....!

First, let me apologize for not noticing that today is your birthday. If I didn't open my Facebook, I would never know that February 2 was your birthday. Yes, you can be mad at me. You can hit me (gently). I don't even prepare anything for you. I'm the worst friend ever 😞

Anyway, do you remember that our first conversation was on Twitter? You were a new Mabiters from the 2nd selection. We both talked on Twitter often, but we never really spoke to each other in Mabit. I can't remember how did we become this close. Our friendship (and Aroma's) started during the Stase period, right? When exactly did you become one of my best friends? One of the closest friends I have? All I know is now you mean a lot to me. You help me with the Linguistics Department, and I really thank you for that. I'll not survive if you're not around to help. We both went to UI to take the hardcopy of linguistic books. Do you remember how annoyed we were? But do you remember how many laughs we had every time we went through those bad times together? Even those Mabiters call you and me twins because wherever I am, you must always be beside me. I think it's not enough to say "Thank You" to you. I mean, you've done too much for me. I am so grateful to know you.

 

I got a lot to write about us, but I don't know how to write it down. Hehehe, well, once again, happy birthday Fadhlia Najmia. I pray the best for you. May Allah always be with you (I'm sure He will :)) Stay awesome, and always make people around you laugh. 

With love, Denisa!

Another Great Girl

I just found a very interesting-inspiring girl in Mabit. She reminds me to always keep a sense of gratitude in my heart. Girl, I hope you reach your dreams. Stay strong and hopefully, you can be one of the greatest ladies in the future. You've already proved that you are strong. I admire you secretly now. What an inspiration ❤

Mengenang SMA :')

Gue sudah dinyatakan lulus dari SMA Muhammadiyah 4 dengan nilai yang nggak malu-maluin. Dan gue juga sudah diterima Perguruan Tinggi Negeri Universitas Islam Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta untuk kuliah. Alhamdulillah!! Rasanya... hidup terasa ringan banget. Semuanya sudah berlalu... masa-masa ujian, masa-masa belajar demi meraih kampus impian, semuanya... selesai *oke, ini kesannya kayak udah mau mati*

Gimana ya... Gue merasa puas karena pintu menuju masa depan bagi gue udah terbuka. Gue hanya tinggal masuk dan mulai menjalani kehidupan baru yang disebut kuliah. Tapi, gue juga merasa berat banget ninggalin SMA. Gue sering dengar kata-kata ini, "Masa SMA adalah masa terindah dalam hidup manusia..." 

Gue nggak tau siapa yang bilang, tapi kata-kata itu jelas sangat benar dalam kehidupan gue (sejauh yang pernah gue alami, entah kuliah nanti). Gue mengalami berbagai hal di SMA yang nggak mungkin dilupakan tapi nggak bisa juga diceritakan satu persatu.

Di SMA Muhammadiyah 4, gue mengenal berbagai macam karakter. Gue belajar banyak hal dari orang-orang itu. Padahal mungkin mereka nggak sadar kalau mereka udah memberikan banyak pelajatan buat gue. Mereka membuat gue mempunyai pandangan baru. Membuat cara berpikir gue lebih terbuka dan nggak sembarangan menilai dan menghakimi seseorang dari luarnya aja.

SMA Muhammadiyah 4... awalnya bukan SMA yang gue inginkan. Dulu, gue malah pengin cepet-cepet keluar dari sekolah ini, tapi sekarang saat masa-masa SMA itu udah hampir selesai, gue malah berharap punya mesin waktu untuk memutar hari dan mengembalikan gue ke masa-masa sebelumnya. 

Sekolah yang dulu gue caci maki, gue remehkan, dan kita ejek bareng-bareng ini ternyata meninggalkan kesan yang dalam banget buat gue *nahan ingus dan air mata*! Saat udah mau selesai kayak gini, rasa sayang gue terhadap sekolah dan teman-teman justru naik dua kali lipat. 

Okelah... mau sharing foto-foto dengan seragam dulu deh :)

 

 

Begitulah, sedikit dari bejibun foto kenangan yang nggak mungkin dimasukin semuanya ke blog. Well, all I can say is... I'll miss high school a lot. Setelah ini, kita semua udah menentukan jalan masing-masing untuk ditempuh menuju masa depan. Dan hidup akan terus berjalan. Kita mau minta kayak apa juga waktu nggak akan berputar kembali... yang kita bisa lakukan hanya menyimpan kenangannya di dalam hati. Dan suatu hari nanti saat kita bertemu lagi dengan teman-teman SMA... kita bisa ketawa sama-sama mengingat masa-masa terindah itu.

Btw, gue masih harus mengurus ijazah dan semacamnya juga sih, jadi masih bisa ke sekolah dan ketemu teman-teman, hehe. Pesan gue cuma satu, nikmati setiap detik dalam hidup karena suatu saat hal itu akan menjadi kenangan manis yang pasti akan kita rindukan.

"High School Musical... who says we have to let it go. It's the best part we've ever known... step into the future. We'll hold on to it." 

Someday we'll be looking back... memories that we have... the best of time 💜

Happy Birthday Dewi!

Hari ini sahabat gue, Dewi Irnawati, berulang tahun ceritanya, hihi. Happy birthday, dear. Berhasil juga lo hidup sampai umur 17 tahun. Maaf ya kita nggak ngucapin duluan karena kita memang berencana sengaja nyuekin lo tadi, hehe, tapi nggak berhasil. Abis lo ngajak ngomong mulu sih 😏 Btw... karena tadi ada pelajaran Seni dimana kami para murid XII-IPS 1 ditugaskan membawa Cat Astero 3 warna dengan kuas lengkap, akhirnya gue, Putri, dan Litha memutuskan membuat poster dari cat itu bertuliskan "Happy Birthday, Dewi!!"

Dan... seperti orang bodoh, kita membuat poster itu di belakang Dewi dan secara terang-terangan bilang, "Dew... jangan nengok ke belakang.." yang mana dengan sangat jelas kita mengumumkan kalau poster yang sedang kita kerjakan itu buat dia hehehe. Maklum dadakan idenya.

Sebelum memberikan poster itu, gue berencana bikin satu poster lagi dan mau memberi cap jari gue ke kertas itu pakai cat. Eh si Putri bilang, "Kita olesin ke mukanya aja yuk..." dan gue pun termakan bujukan setan dan langsung tanpa ampun mencoreng wajah Dewi dengan tangan penuh cat, hehehe...

Sasaran nggak cuma Dewi, gue menuju Litha dan dengan liar mencoreng wajahnya. Dan tangan ini nyasar ke jilbab putihnya dan tertempel lah percakkan seni di jilbab Litha. Litha sempat marah secara dia memang sangat memperhatikan kebersihan baju. Hehe maaf ya, Tha. Tapi sekarang udah nggak marah, kan? Hihihi... (begini nih caranya minta maaf!)

Akhirnya, setelah kesenangan mencoret-coret segala hal dengan Cat Astero, barulah kita memberikan poster ancur karya kita bertiga ke Dewi dan komentarnya, "Ini nih kejutannya??" dengan tampang "Jelek bener hadiah gue!" hihihi.

Ini dia poster ancur kita yang super sederhana

Di jam istirahat, Dewi mentraktir kita mie ayam sebagai balasan kado 'berharga' kita. Perut yang kenyang pun membuat kita mulai bosan karena nggak ada kerjaan. Tiba-tiba Dila datang ke kelas kita. dan gue pun mengajaknya bermain Cat Asturo ini. Terlihat tas hitam EAT milik gue yang polos dan kosong melompong tanpa hiasan. Mulai deh, tangan-tangan iseng gue dan Dila menggambar-gambar di tas itu, nggak lama Cintia ikutan bergabung dalam pekan seni ini. Putri, Litha, dan Dewi pun tergoda dan ikutan nimbrung menyumbangkan seni mereka. Jadilah tas gue sebagai kanvas dan tempat perkumpulan seniman muda. Dan inilah hasil yg terjadi setelah tas hitam polos itu dilukis oleh tangan-tangan super-tak-kreatif

 

A MASTERPIECE 😈

Selain menggunakan Cat Asturo untuk poster berantakan dan memperjelek tas, kita juga ramai-ramai mengecat kuku (nggak punya duit buat beli cutex yang asli hihihi) dan ternyata Cat Asturo itu gampang banget dihapus dari kuku. Jadi, kalau mau sholat nggak perlu khawatir, dan banyak pilihan warnanya pula (ceritanya iklan).

From left: kuku gue dan Litha // To Right : kuku Dewi dan Putri. Hihi. telihat seperti cutex kan, padahal ini cat minyak lho, saking kreatifnya kita (atau kurang kerjaan).

ONCE AGAIN... HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEWI!!
