A Belated Round-Robin

Hahay I'm sorry for this belated post. Maybe I was too hyped with Boston thingy lately so I cant stop surfing anywhere while yes, physically I'm only sitting. Well, Boston seems nice to be a future homestay (rather than NY, SF, or maybe Chicago) but please underline the word seems because Selena told me that everything is not what it seems. This site told me that Boston is a city “rich in history,” boasting “great accommodations and wonderful restaurants.”  With plenty to see, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Museum of Science, and Boston Common, the city is a regular on our list.  If you’re not up for a walk around town, kick back and relax on a Duck Boat tour or catch a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. It's listed on top 10 cities in US with Ambience: 83.1 Friendliness: 56.9 Lodging: 76.4 Restaurants: 84.8 Culture/Sites: 91.3 Shopping: 72.3 rates.

Slap me in the face for the awkward preface. NY is the most desirable tho! With-your-master-cards baby (plural)

Away from Boston, with a broad-minded, selfishly, let me share you my own verse for State of The Union. Where did I put my time machine oh no......

Carpe diem.

Your life is like a wheel.....

Ferris Wheel never stops making me mad. Goddamned thing, I really wanna ride it someday. Will a prince with a white unicorn bring the glass shoes and take me there? Wake me up now.

Well, it's cool wondering that I've been on that wheel for almost 17 years. No, not The Big Eye but this life I'm talking about. I used to be once, twice, sobbing on the very top, cry of happiness, cry of scariness, or cry of missing the ground. While, every other person try to look up to the sky. I was up to anything that seems in the cycle, replied, and replied. Sometimes I felt like rewinding the scenes but I only passed the track, that is whirling like a wheel.

But now, here I say.. look at the wheel. If the wheel stops spinning, where is it gonna be anywhere? Everyone has their own direction, and I'm up to focus on how I can keep my wheel on the way. Imagine that you, her, him, and me riding our wheels. Trapped in a round world, don't have any brake, and hitting one another. We have that karma. action equals to reaction and so does the life (in this case the wheel), we have to be very careful to have our focus and control. Reflect the impact, that's our brake.
We could take a breath and fix some wrong direction, try to set and adjust the velocity, the destiny, and ride it good dudes \m/

Tears is allowed, but in appropriate way. We could be impatient to wait to be on the top, see overseas, see over the sky, but remind ourselves that we still could enjoy the mess of our heart-beat and fire up the soul to be ready shouting at the peak! Don't be sorry for anything. Prepare yourself, prepare the bravery, and pray for the best.

I couldnt imagine if I was caught at the top of the wheel alone and no one could help me..it's gonna be very scary and.. itchy :( I need you, everyone..

Monday

Blpp blpp..


(..all photos taken by Banin :)
Well, aloha 2013. Again, welcoming the new year with my new haircut (maybe it becomes my annually ritual haha xx)

I opened this ah mazing year with Matt in Yogyakarta and if you've known those photos which I've posted on twitter (yeah I know some of you say "hmmmmm" with that smirk now).. but unfortunately I went home with a lost micro SD. Thus, I couldn't post it on this blog but I've already share them on Asos (jfyi).
Hahay feel so long to use dressin up as a label again! Do you miss this one? :) well I do.
Last Saturday 13th, I went out from my dorm down to the city. ALONE. Lol, I still can't believe it.
I am a wholly dumb for Malang-and-its-urban. I've only go to Mog twice and Matoz twice juga (itu pun pake baju bebas dan sama senior selisih 2 tingkat empat-empatnya -_-) dan all I know when I'm outta dorm is : Aloon2-Sarinah-Church-Aloon2-Sarinah. Call me nerd.
But this time... I decided to go out with some purpose(s).. and a legal slip + uniform. (thanks for my hero, Nia :')

The new regulation for weekend's-day-out made me mad. honestly. (senate or committee who read this, no offense, sorry to say). but nothing refused. So I was dropped at Aloon2, and with a thick boldness I found that Angkot to reach Mog. Lonely. Proudly. God bless me, there was Sulthon on my angkot, then yes we were dropped at the same destination. In the Mog I found another point (imagine that Imma Super Mario on the Mall) there and became over-confident to walk around the stores. But I've got nothing. Ya, nice to meet you if you saw me there that day, no one else, that's me)
..so I found another angkot for heading to Matoz. Still, alone. I met some friends which always had that 'hey?! you..?' faces. Matoz hit me with no ATM.. and the craziest news was I only brought IDR below 100k on my purse. Glad to know you're smiling. You're welcome.
So I got that dresses, and 2 other cute tee-s, etc.. with my beloved card. *..and all the readers coprolling*

Anyway, there's an awsum project from Mam D for Eleventh Graders and.. Ecsotic is ready to surprise you.
