Voices

I really miss the voice of the piano.... and rain. Still waiting for the rain to fall. Ahhh I'm dying to hear those relaxing voices!

Today's Miracle

Well, I think I should share this experience to all of you guys. I believe it's true that you can find a miracle in every single day of your life. Maybe it's just a tiny little miracle or maybe a big one. Maybe it's not just one, but I believe that there's always one per day. It's just up to you to decide is it a miracle or not. 

Today I met a friend from my junior high, we went to different schools so it's kinda hard to meet each other. Beside, we're not good friends so it doesn't really matter for both of us. But today, unexpectedly, we met in a public transportation. I want to call it a coincidence, but somehow I know it wasn't. I thought we wouldn't talk much, but actually he got so much to talk about and so did I. He's so much nicer than I remembered he was. He's happy with his new school, he's proud of it, and I'm glad to hear it. I didn't have a single thought that I would be so happy to meet him. To be honest, I was smiling all the way home. 

For some people, they maybe think that it's usual, ordinary, nothing special. But for me, every single thing of it is special. So I might say that today's big miracle is to meet him. I know that today's writing isn't related to the picture, but I just feel like writing it. 

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

 (Enchanted-Taylor Swift)

I'm hoping to meet you again someday, expectedly or unexpectedly. Maybe tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. Maybe next week or next month. Next year or next decade. But I have to meet you.

Afternoon Moon

taken from my house :)

I know this is so sad, but I edited this picture. The moon looks so small so yes, I change the moon's size, sorry for letting you down coz I edited it. Well, maybe actually I'm letting myself down for doing it... But anyway, it was at sunset time (I don't even sure that it's still can be called "afternoon", is it still afternoon??), the sun was already coming down at one side of the sky, so it was pretty dark, but the other side, the sky was still bright blue, and you could see the moon there. It was kinda rare.

Anyway, I feel a little bit lonely tonight. I don't know why.

Maybe because today I only received one email :'(

Or maybe just because I'm tired...

I've been working on so many projects these two months, painting, recording a few songs, making comics, etc. And none of them is finished yet. AAAARGH!!! But at least I'm enjoying every single step on doing those projects

I'm now totally loving a Rachael Yamagata's song, Be Be Your Love. It's not the full lyrics but, just check it out

f I could take you away pretend I was queen  

What would you say? Would you think I'm unreal? 

'Cause everybody's got their way I should feel
 

And everybody's talking how I can't, can't be your love 

 But I want, want, want to be your love 

Want to be your love, for real

Want to be your everything

 
Every thing's falling, and I am included in that  

Oh, how I'll try to be just okay? 

Yeah, but all I ever really wanted was a little piece of you

Please, sir, don't you walk away Don't you walk away, don't you walk away Please, sir, don't you walk away Don't you walk away, don't you walk away

Under The Spotlights

I'm so out of idea what should I write today....

Have you ever been under the spotlight?
Being watched by everybody but you can't see them?
Having all the attention on you

I thought it would be so scary and all, but when I stood on my first stage for my first performance, I feel fearless. I didn't know the audience and I couldn't see them clearly, so I was fine.

Everybody needs time to shine. And when you finally get the chance to shine, why not? Don't be shy, don't be afraid. They won't judge you so easily.

 

The Sweetness of Doing Nothing

Taken at Monumen Nasional, Jakarta

We all know we live in such a complicated world. We went through some hard times and laugh about it after that. We did something embarrassing then we try to forget it like we want to forget about bad dreams. Fear, sadness, anger, confusion, disturbance, slightness, they make us forget who we are. We may cry, we may laugh, we may do anything we want to do, but sometimes it doesn't change a thing.

Living life is just like walking down an endless road. 

If you want to go faster, then run. See what you've missed.

If you're tired, then just walk again. Take your time.

If you're exhausted, then stop. Look back and see how far you've walked. 

 Or just... do nothing

"dolce far niente"

The World Is Not So Small

Taken from Bandung Aston Primera's window

Actually, the world isn't small at all. I feel really small right now. But so glad that I'm a part of this world. There's not much to tell today, but I have 2 questions, what have the world done for you, and what have you done for the world? Not very simple...

 The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.

The Sky's Always There

 

Every morning on my way to school, the sky is there

Every afternoon in class, when teachers get so boring, the sky is there

Every sunset, when I watch the tv, the sky is there

and every night, on my sleep, the sky is there

So yes, the sky has been accompanying me for my whole life. But especially these past three years in junior high school. Through the sunny days, the rainy days, cold days, hot days, cloudy days.... It's always there, above me. Although sometimes I forgot about its existence. Weird but true.

On my freshman year, I had a hard time on adapting with my classmates, teachers, lessons, scores, and all. I even got scared to go to school. One day, I looked up to the sky from the car's window and it was so calm, it made me less worried about the rest of the day. And from that day I promised myself every morning I'd see the sky and told myself, "everything's going to be just fine." Well, sometimes it didn't help me but sometimes it did.

Then on my 2nd year, I started to forget about the sky thing and the everything-will-be-okay thing. But still, the sky is there....

Early on June, I photographed this picture, the sky from my school's window. Just another hot blue sky and white soft cloud. It was the school's farewell party, my 3rd year on junior high. The sky is there, on my last days on school....

And I just realize all of that
