Ketak ketik ketuk sebelum pulang ...

Hari ini hari yang melelahkan. Memang sih, 2 tugasku - BCA dan BII selesai - tapi bukan berarti bisa nyantai. BCA masih belum perfect, dan habis ini aku masih harus ngelanjutin porting.

Keinginan pengen cepet2 pulang ke kost, akhirnya kalah dengan rasa sepi. Rasa sepi yang mendadak dateng gini nih musuh utamaku :(! Aku bisa kalah perang gara2 rasa sepi, kepikiran yang enggak-enggak ... dan yang paling aku benci kalo tiba2 sepi menyergap :)) seperti ini adalah bayangan dari sosok itu ... pasti berkelebat.
Padahal tadi pagi rasanya aku capek banget gara2 tadi malem nyetir motor di Jakarta this is my first time riding bike here ... Kapok deh aku naik motor lagi di sini :) masih mending naik turun bis.

Anyway, tadi siang sahabatku lagi bete. Di YM manyuuun aja, gara2 harus mundur dari pdkt nya ke cewek yang ia sukai. Waktu aku nge-refer apa yang pernah aku alami, dia malah bilang dia milih di posisi aku. Karena aku sempat ngerasain 'bahagia' sesaat bareng seseorang. Aku bilang, toh hasilnya sama aja, bukan sebuah happy ending. Aku toh gak pernah tau apa yang sebenarnya terjadi waktu itu. Believe man, you don't want to feel it :) ... but still he didn't agree with me, ya sutra ...

So, buat sahabatku, ini saranku: You're a great man! Don't worry, you'll finally find someone who belongs to you. Kamu harus percaya sama aku, udah berapa taun kita sahabatan ... hampir 8 taun mungkin :) ... Cewek yang buang kesempatan dia buat kenal kamu lebih jauh, she made a mistake! Kamu tuh nggak jelek2 amat - agak cakep mungkin ... hehehe ... nggak rela amat sih mujinya - , kamu tuh pinter! Mana ada cap gajah yang bego ;) ... You have a good sense of humor :)) ... nggak kayak aku yang gak bisa bikin cair suasana :) Kamu tuh cerewet, semua orang butuh kamu buat jadi temen mereka ... nggak ada orang yang nggak merasa nyaman bareng kamu. Kamu tergolong 'pria mapan' hahaha ... cewek *matre* mana yang gak mau ;0? Hehehe .. kidding. Kamu taat beribadah ... gak suka bolos ke gereja kayak aku ;) -eh, btw kemaren minggu akhirnya satu keluarga bolos semua :)) - Dengan segala kelebihan yang kamu punya, kamu pasti bakal nemuin 'si dia'. Emang sih, banyak yang bilang kamu terlalu mengagungkan love at the first sight, etc, etc. Tapi dengan segala kelebihan kamu, love will find the way ...

Hehe, I already feel better after writing this blog. Mungkin sepi itu tetep ada, dan sosok itu tetep aja berkelebat di benakku (I always wonder when can I finally forget), tapi aku udah merasa lebih baik. I am ready to go home now, bye ...

Thanksgiving 2020

What a crazy ride we have been riding in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has pretty much put our life on hold, if not going on a slower pace. I feel that we are running a marathon, and it's not over yet. The emotional toll that we have been experiencing since March is real. Everything that we used to take for granted, like meeting up with friends, birthday parties, kids activities, traveling, the convenience of doing grocery shopping anytime we want, a lot of them have been taken away from us, from my family. No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...

Rediscover childhood ...

When Iis asked whether I'd like to join a traditional Indonesian dancing ~ Balinese, I was hesitated. Last time I did Balinese dance was in Nyoman Gunarsa's Sanggar Dewata around 1989. I started dancing Balinese at age 4 when I saw my older cousins dancing, so I told my mom that I wanted to dance. Wrong decision :p! My mom enjoyed bringing me to the dance club, more than I enjoy dancing, and I was stuck for more than 6 years :p I knew that I wasn't talented, but she just didn't let me quit no matter how much I begged, hahaha. I finally quit because I needed to study more to prepare for Ebtanas (I know, I know it's such a lame excuse, hehehe) . Never crossed my mind that I would dance again. First because I didn't enjoy it, second because I am not talented. When finally I say yes, I'll come, I thought it would be the first and last time :) But I was wrong. It's fun and I enjoy it. This time is different because my mom doesn't tell me to do the dancing...

What would they decide ?

When I was a little girl, I heard a lot of stories about far-away lands from my mother. She told me stories that she got from my father's letters when he was away. Our family was apart for four years. My father went to school to Montpelier, France while my Mom raised my brother and me in Yogyakarta. Every other year Dad visited us, brought a lot of books and pictures home. Pictures of Versailles, Lourdes, Marseilles, Spain, and a lot more. He told us many stories, brought me from our little home to those countries, although only in imagination. Since that day, I convinced myself that someday, when I grow up, I will see those places with my own eyes :) About twenty some years later, my turn came. I stand here, a few thousand miles away from home. About once a week I call home, talked to my parents about this place. About the harsh winter in Pittsburgh, about my new town near Philadelphia, about my new job. I might not be here if my father never brought me those pictures, told me st...
