We are Only Two Strangers.

Kebetulan kah, atau memang waktunya?

Kita berdua, aku dan kamu, bertemu di saat yang... entah mengapa, aku sebut tepat. Padahal sebelumnya kita adalah dua orang asing yang hanya saling tahu nama. Dan kemudian, kita saling menyapa. Seolah begitu saja berpapasan di trotoar, bersisipan di lautan pejalan kaki yang menjejali Malioboro pada suatu sore. Kata "Halo!" pun terlontar, ditambah seulas senyum. Ramah, mungkin mungkin segan. Dan... ah, sedikit malu.

Sebuah perbincangan di trotoar, yang terjadi karena sebuah celetukan tak bermaksud banyak, membuka banyak perbincangan lainnya. Kata yang terucap semakin banyak, diselingi sedikit lelucon malu-malu, dan akhirnya berbuah tawa. Wajah cerah, secerah sore itu dengan langit yang mulai merona jingga keemasan di ufuk barat.

Tidak ada perbincangan intim. Percakapan basa-basi, mungkin. Tetapi, tawaku saat itu bukan untuk sekedar sopan santun.Sore itu, pertama kali aku menyadari ada sesuatu yang... 'pas' yang aku temukan. Seolah menemukan kepingan puzzle yang hilang. Hanya saja kau tak perlu tahu. Karena belum tentu kau yang akan melengkapinya.

Meskipun begitu, mataku menangkap setiap detik, setiap kedipan mata, setiap gerakan yang kita lakukan sepanjang perbincangan itu. 'Momen kita'. Ada sebuah rasa hangat dan nyaman yang muncul. Mungkin karena kepingan yang kutemukan itu. Atau mungkin hal yang lain...

Lantas aku tertawa.
'Momen kita' bukanlah gambaran yang pas untuk menyebutkan perbincangan itu. Tapi tak kunjung aku temukan istilah lain, karena bagaimanapun, di saat 'momen kita' seolah hanya aku, kamu, Tuhan, dan udara yang tahu apa yang terjadi. Ada sebuah ikatan. Yang, meskipun tipis dan rapuh, tapi sepertinya sempat menyentuh masing-masing diri kira berdua.

Ratusan, atau bahkan ribuan kata yang kita lontarkan pada sekian episode percakapan tersebut, ternyata hanya menyita waktu sekejap. Percakapan harus segera diakhiri. Saatnya kau pergi dan beranjak menuju tujuanmu, yang tak pernah aku tahu apa itu. Pun dengan aku. Kita bisa memilih untuk tinggal; mungkin kau tidak akan dan aku akan tinggal. Atau sebaliknya. Namun, sepertinya kita berdua memilih untuk berlalu. Menganggap seolah percakapan di sore itu: di bawah bayang-bayang Gedung Agung yang semakin memanjang ke arah timur, di trotoar Malioboro, di tengah lautan pejalan kaki, memang hanya sesingkat sapaan "Halo!" dariku. Atau darimu. Dan kemudian kita pergi, kembali sebagai dua orang asing yang hanya bertemu jika waktu mengizinkan.

Dari sekian banyak orang asing yang singgah, beberapa tinggal sebagai keluarga, teman, sahabat, atau bahkan seteru. Banyak lagi yang memilih untuk berlalu. Mungkin kau salah satunya.

Buzz-ing January :)

Hell-o!

Omg I cant believe it's my 1st post this year and this January :(
Benar-benar banyak kesibukan menjelang akhir tahun sampai sekarang. Mulai dari tugas-tugas akhir jelang ujian, ujian itu sendiri, dan juga majalah yang sebentar lagi mendekati deadline.
Sepertinya ada banyak kisah yang terlewatkan. Yang pasti, ujian sudah berhasil saya tempuh dan sekarang saya sedang sangat menikmati liburan saya sambil berkutat dengan majalah.
Ribet dan sibuk memang, tetapi ternyata menyenangkan :) paling tidak, saya punya banyak hal untuk dikerjakan dan dipikirkan, meskipun jujur saja saya sangat merindukan liburan yang diisi dengan tidur menggelundung setiap hari :p

Anyway, berbicara tentang tahun baru, saya punya sebuah resolusi yang tak kalah baru: DIET.
Well, saya bukannya obsesi jadi kurus langsing layaknya wanita-wanita yang dianggap 'cantik' di era modern ini. Tetapi karena kesadaran bahwa telah terjadi pemelaran perut dan tangan saya. Hal ini dibuktikan ketika saya mengenakan beberapa baju lawas, yang meskipun masih bisa saya pakai, ternyata menimbulkan sedikit benjolan di area perut. Singkat cerita, selama saya kuliah, telah terjadi penyerapan gizi yang terlalu maksimal dan kurangnya mobilitas guna membakar kandungan-kandungan yang dapat berpotensi menimbulkan pemelaran tersebut.

Resolusi diet ini tidak saya lakukan sendirian. Ada Dhita dan Adrian yang menyertai saya. Selama liburan, saya dan Dhita berencana untuk mengadakan program olahraga seperti fitness dan chacha. Tapi apa lacur, waktu tidak memberi kesempatan. Hingga seminggu liburan telah dilalui, saya masih saja berkutat dengan laput dan benar-benar HAMPIR tidak memiliki waktu untuk yang lainnya.
So far, saya cuman mengurangi makan dan nasi serta meminimalkan frekuensi mengemil. Demi apalah, saya akui saya terlalu doyan ngemil. Dan demi apalah, sepertinya cemilan lah yang menyebabkan terjadinya pemelaran tubuh saya *nangis guling guling*

Ah, berbicara tentang nilai, sejauh ini baru ada dua mata kuliah yang sudah keluar nilainya: Bahasa Inggris II dan Manajemen Keuangan I.
I got A for English II *thank God!* and B+ for Financial Management. Well... B+ untuk MK seems not really bad since I spent the whole night before the final exam to make a t-shirt for Ben's birthday project! HAHA *puas* and guess if I got A, makin a tees for Ben would be muuuccchhh better for me :p

Here's the t-shirt!

Dan sekarang, akhir-akhir ini saya jadi suka membuat benda-benda abstrak menggunakan flanel :p
Semoga kemampuan saya menjahit akan semakin baik karena saya akan membuat banyaaaaaakkk sekali benda dengan flanel ;) selain itu, I already had a plan for my holiday, yaitu bikin boneka. Tunggu saja, semoga kesampean hihihi

Last, barusan saya lihat video ini. 'You and Me' cover by vocalist of The Mid Summer Classic. He's kinda cute, though ♥





Smell ya later!

TUMBLR

find me there :)

December Wish

I need no Daddy, if I have a Mommy.

Because she can do anything a daddy can do for me.

Or at least, she's always on my side whenever I need a hug.

The Greatest Two Hours of My Life :)

Hello! Hola!

It's been quite long time I dont smell you here. First, my schedule is being crazeh nowadays. And to make it worse, Cero my beloved netbook has been on the service center for a week since it suddenly died without any permission :(
Hopefully he'll be okay. And hopefully I dont need to lose any file since I haven't backed up my data yet :(

Oh, now I'm goin to write a lil bit about what happened to me.Tanggal 27-28 November kemarin, barengan sama temen-temen dari EQ, kita pergi ke Taman Buah Mangunan yang tempatnya astagaaaaa... Kayak di ujung dunia, middle of nowhere, pokoknya kata "JAUH" pun ngga bisa mendeskripsikan betapa dahsyatnya jarak yang harus kami tempuh. But we spent a great nite there! Thumbs up buat panitia Upgrading EQ yang terdiri dari anak-anak magang keren dan unyu, dan dengan kreatifnya bikin nama kelompok yang kocak (punyaku Anjing Ngeden, sodara-sodara! And guess what? Malemnya ada happening art yang harus mereprsentasikan nama kelompok zzz) dan permainan-permainan yang amatsangat ngerjain, apalagi posnya Aji yang disuruh cari tali sambil joged dan masukin bola pake kepala DAN JUGA SAMBIL JOGED! -____-


Aaaaaand do you still remember about what happened on December 4? That would be the greatest day for me and IT WAS! IT IS!
Yeah, Lifehouse came to Jakarta!!

Dont ask me how excited I was :P

With a very-very-very limited budget, I went to Jakarta on Friday, Dec 3 with my sister by train. And it's economy class. I meant, the train with the cheapest tix price. I reached Jakarta at 3am the following day and all the way I felt so.... gloomy. I didnt know and I dont know why, but lookin at the darkness outside through the window, and nothin could be seen but your reflection... That was quite melancholy. And scary. I meant, lookin at your reflection right on the eyes... trust me, I felt like lots of feeling I felt back then was relived. Moreover, I was so "galau" that night.

Okay, stay on focus. I am no longer "galau" anymore now. And I'm goin to tell ya here. But not on this part :)



At 3pm, I reached the venue: Epicentrum Walk. My uncle took me and my sist there, and since the venue is still fairly new, my uncle didnt really know where the Oval Plaza of Epicentrum is. He only turned left to see the security so we could ask him. And guess what I saw when I got in the car and  looked what's on the back of my uncle's car?

I SAW LIFEHOUSE!!
They're about to get in the car which would bring them to the hotel (maybe). And suddenly my sist and I ran to them but too late, they're already on the car and the security came between us :(
I kepr calling Jason's name and suddenly the door was opened but not by Jaso/Bryce/Rick/Ben. But by the crew and he asked me, "How many people?" My sist answered, "Just two." And he gave us Lifehouse's original autograph, NOT the scanned version omg♥

Loveeeeee eeeeeettt!

So I arrived at Epicentrum Plaza then met my friend, Tico, with a wideeeeee and biiiiiigggg smile on my face aaww♥

And since it's raining outside, penonton udah superduper engga sabar banget buat segera masuk ke area dan berteduh di sana. Setelah diperbolehkan masuk, padahal belom waktunya masuk (kata sekuriti-yang-bertampang-galak-doang), kami semua malah jadi engga sabar to be on the main stage soon! Dan terciptalah antrian panjang layaknya mengantri untuk menjajal sepatu kaca dari Pangeran Tampan (alias Pangeran Jason LOL).
But because of that, I met and talked with some of Lifehouse fans and omg it's so GREAT knowing there are lots of Lifehouse fans here! Loveeeeeeeee it♥

Ketika tiba waktunya untuk diperbolehkan masuk ke area panggung utama, semua pengantri langsung lari doooong~ Omg Tico and I finally could make it to be on the BLOODY FIRST ROW!! Is it not enuff? Well, we are on the first-middle row which meant... Jason would be RIGHT in front of me.
Could anythin be much better than that? ♥

Tico and I. BLOODY FIRST ROW!!

Daaaaaan tanpa banyak basa-basi, here are the photos! \:D/

Cola Float, one of the indie band :)

Saponk, my friend's boy and guitarist of Kalih, who gave me one of the Lifehouse guitar pick :)

Kalih Band

Seriously, ini mbak-mbak nyanyi Terlanjur Sayang and when ppl around me and I sang the song the security laughed :\

Pure Saturday's vocalist, he's just sooooo gorgeous♥

Takin a short break, tired but still stoked fo Lifehouse!

SID really heated up the atmosphere!! \m/

RIVERMAYA!

Jayson Fernandez, Rivermaya's cute vocalist :"P

My fave pic of Jayson, but too bad it's kind of blur cuz he's movin :\

And when Rivermaya was on the stage, I saw Jason behind the speaker then my friends and I called him so loud by wavin our hands. He waved back! Awww :")

Btw here is the setlist of Lifehouse:

1. All In
2. Here Tomorrow Gone Today
3. Spin
4. Nerve Damage
5. You and Me (approximately 5000 people sang this!♥)
6. Whatever It Takes
7. Wrecking Ball
8. Jason's solo performance: Simon, Everything, Sick Cycle Carousel
9. From Where You Are (this is when Jay said, "Wow" seeing our enthusiasm♥)
10. Wash
11. Blind
12. Falling In
13. Hanging by A Moment (not by a thread :P)
14. Take Me Away
15. First Time
16. Broken
17. Halfway Gone
18. Everything

 And I was crying when they performed Everything :')

You know, everyone has their own dream. So do I. And I have lots.
I often feel so envy with those people who could finally go to their fave band's show. Especially it is Indonesia. And I've felt so frustrated when I had no clue Lifehouse would come here or not. I'm still 19 and it would spend money if I go abroad for Lifehouse. I'm not a rich person.
And finally they came.
Yeah, I just feel so... happy :)
And I still can cry remembering the moment. Then when I was on my way back home, only less than 12 hours rite after the show, I was still full with the happiness. And since I dont wanna forget the feeling, I made this short note.

Punggungku menghadap Jogja. Berjalan terbalik pulang. Flashback.

Can't stop singing Lifehouse songs they performed last night. Walking backwards... I feel like the euphoria is comin again.

I think I don't need to regret for havin no chance to have photos with them, or because they didn't read my note. The fact they gave me their ORI autograph -- instead of the scanned version -- shows how lucky I was. How lucky I AM.  I don't know the reason why, but I think they're really nice for doing that. And hopefully, they will remember me :)

I still remember the way Jason sang... How he closed his eyes, how his voice melted me, and how his smile made me blush. The way Jason whispered "Wow" seeing our enthusiasm.  I'm still remember how... sexy Bryce was when his hair got wet. They way Ben and Rick winked and smiled at me -- or us. Hey, I don't mean to feel too much but both of em winked when I shouted their name out loud LOL :p

The reason why we were so enthusiast last night was because WE LOVE THEM! They're just soooo amazing. 95mins isn't enuf to show how HUGE our love is. To be honest, I think I could stand, sing, and dance on the first row till dawn. And also keep shouting "JASON/BRYCE/RICK/BEN, I LOVE YOU!!"

I really appreciate em since they performed 'Everything' as their last song. It's just... so lovely. They guys are my and our everything. And glad to know we're everything for em. Rememberin this still can make me cry. I cry for happiness.

I love you, Lifehouse. I love you.
I really do.
Waitin for 10 years only feels like a blink of an eye after seeing you last night.
Hopefully I can see ya again.

I wish this kind of feelin would never fade away. I'll keep it in my heart and in my mind. And by these words, I only wish anytime I read this, it could relive the feelin and the memories.

Again, I love you Jason, Bryce, Rick, and Ben.
I'll whisper these words until you realize these are mine.
--K♥

From Jakarta to Jogja,

December 5, 2010

11.47am

Silly, huh? Haha sorry I'm not a good writer if you ask me to write something romantic. But the only thing I know is I wrote that with lots of love. And the love is still on my heart, I can feel it grows big and bigger :)

Finally I know what it feels like when people you love for years (in my case, I've been a fan of Lifehouse since I was in junior high school. It's about 7 years has passed :p) finally come and you can see them closer.

I still feel so amazed knowing I stood right in front of Jason. He was only few meters, maybe 3-4meters, from me! And when I got em were about to get in the car after the rehearsal and when I was lookin for the venue, they're much closer than that.

This is why I feel I was still lucky :)

Omg I've written so long. And so much. Hopefully none of you stop reading this when you're still halfway gone haha :p
And here are Lifehouse photos I took by myself. I am so sorry if I only could take few of Rick cuz he was behind Jason and I stood rite before him. And the light... Omg I just cant help it. I'm not a pro photographer and I only used a 7.2 Mega Pixel digicam with me. Beside Bryce and Ben were on the left and right and when I tried to take a photo of them, the light was almost always ruin it :\
But hopefully you'll enjoy em! :)

Seriously, Tico falls in love with Ben! Lucky you, Tico. He's so romantic. And the tattoo, guitar, the hair... Oh, what else? ;)

Actually really wanted to thank him personally for replyin my tweet on my b'day and made my day :')

I just cant stand seeing him sweating... I wish I was his towel LOL ♥ oh, and HE'S MY FIRST LOVE! Haha :P

Hello, Rick! Eventho I only could take few photos of you, at least the result was quite good :)

Who wants the hips? Me want!

One of Jay's photos I took I love!

You know, Jason? This photo could make me melt if I keep starin on it! :p

Their final bow. Please come again ♥

Oh, and have I mentioned about Lifehouse guitar pick I got from Saponk, my friend's boyfriend?

See ya!
K♥

Oh, and btw, I don't wish for a monochrome life so much anymore now. It's kind of annoying sometimes, like the broken TV, when we see to much grey on it.


xx,
K♥

Monochrome.

I wish my life would be as easy as a monochrome photo. Black. White. And gray sometimes.
