My real name

Gue baru baca nih buku Kicau Kacau-nya Indra Herlambang.

Sebenernya gue udah nyari dari awal buku ini launching, dan setiap gue ke Gramedia merdeka SELALU habis. Yak SELALU habis.

Gue kira bukunya ga akan selaris itu, padahal isinya cerpen - cerpen dia yang sebagian udah pernah gue baca di kolom Free Magazine. Makanya “lho? ko pada abis gini?”. Yang ngalamin ini ga gue aja ternyata, para pencari buku ini diseluruh Indonesia pada Kicau Kicau ga bisa nemu buku Kicau Kacau di daerah mereka.

Dan AKHIRNYA kemaren…

Setelah nunggu cetakan yang ke-2, gue menemukan juga buku ini di Gramedia Bandung Super Mall. Dan ada banyak aja gitu berjejer, tau gitu gue langsung kesana aja bukannya bulak balik Gramedia setelah pulang kampus.

It took me less than one day to finish it. Yay! (I should do it again with my indonesian economics book)

Banyak yang gue dapet dari buku itu, dari mulai masalah

Twitter

Twitter yang makin kesini makin ga jelas. Gue adalah salah satu penikmat twitter saat masa masa nya masih sepi dan semua having fun dengan twit twit mereka masing - masing. Kayak laporan mereka makan siang kemana, dimana, sama siapa. Tempat hang out paling okey di bandung raya, atau sekedar bilang kalau mereka keterima di universitas mana (yes twitter, thank you soooo much)

Sekarang liat deh, Twitter udah penuuuuh sama yang namanya drama, orang ngeluh, nyindir (yeah please banget hello nyindir via twitter??), pacaran, dan sekarang kayaknya twitter jadi ajang pamer yang mana timelinenya paling “berisi”, “berbobot”, paling lucu, paling penuh drama dan kadang - kadang…. Zzz

Sama kayak si penulis juga, gue kangen masa - masa twitter waktu masiiiiiiih bersih dari yang namanya RT abuser, Twitter police, Tweet longer, Mute (fitur cemerlang yang mengurangi drama Unfollow), dan Folback, hahahahaha.

Tapi bukannya itu sifat manusia, Ingin selalu didengar

Dimana lagi orang bisa laporan kalau dia kangen sama pacar, pengen makan apa, keadaan hati dia, kegalauan dia, curhatan dia, masalah dia, masalah KELUARGA dia (ya masalah keluarga), achivement apa yang dia dapet, dan lain lainya silahkan liat timeline kalian sendiri. Oh plus that annoying account yang bentuknya udah macem - macem.

But then again, siapa gue juga ngelarang. Yang bisa kita lakukan yah hati - hati aja saat lo neken yang namanya “Follow” button itu. Daripada akibatnya sendiri lo juga yang tanggung. Jangan nantinya malah bingung mencet UnFollow “Mencet ga ya, pencet ga ya?”

Sebenernya ini cuman salah satu topik yang bikin gue pumped up. Cerpen yang dalam tiap kalimatnya bikin gue berguman “oh iyaa juga ya” atau “bener jugaaaa” “iya sejak kapan twitter begini.” dll

Tapi ada juga topik tentang Lifestyle, Keluarga, Cinta, Sahabat. Bacaan yang ringan kalau menurut gue. Oh and I’m also big fan of him, since the first time I saw him broadcast on Radio in Bandung.

Inspiration indeed

Give a try! Gak nyesel…

Well at least gue sih ga nyesel. Hahaha. Worth every penny of my money and every sweat of my body.

P.S.: Favorite gue chapter “Yang Nyaris Terlupakan”

I’ve already seen this movie a long time ago, although the movie itself came on 2009. At first I just came to movie room without anything in mind because I didn’t have any particular movie that I wanted to watch. So I bought this instead.

Then it turned out that this movie was so great, it really made me…. well… err…. cry.

The story is about a father who realized his only connection to his children was through his wife. He never actually talked with them, never asked how they’ve been doing. And after his wife died, he decided to set off on an impromptu road trip to reunite with each of his children. And realized that he had lost many stories about how they had grown up all this time and how far he was from his children.

Personally I’m not the type of a child who’s close to his father. I’m more like a Momma’s Boy type. I’ve always told her stories of what happened on every of my days, my problems, and also my friend’s problems. So she pretty much knows how or what  I’ve been doing.

Unlike with my dad, I never talk much with him. The only topic we ever had was about money, soccer, and….  pretty much that’s it. Never something personal. But I know I love him (in my way), and he loves me too (in his way). And after I watched this movie, I’m trying to tell him more about what’s been happening in my life. And I am still trying now.

I hope one day he doesn’t have to travel to visit his children to know what they’ve been doing, cause he know that Everybody Is Fine.

So today is a V-day. Not vagina day people. A Valentine day.

I’m not much of a fan for Valentine’s day before. But, this year I’ll make an exception.

I’m pretty much still single, just to be clear. But this time is different cause there’s a girl I’m actually like.

She’s fun, she’s smart, and she’s everything I can’t describe. And also everything out of my-kind-a-girl-I-want-to-date-with. Seriously, I’m not expecting it would be her who stole my heart (Wooow, I just use that word)

I gave her a book, “Recto Verso” by Dewi Lestari.

I haven’t read it, yet. Hahaha. But I know it’s a great book, compare to Filosofi Kopi by Dewi Lestari also.

I bought it last saturday accompany by my best friend Rifqi. We’re go to the bookstore, then to the wrapping store… and yeah that’s it.

Then todaaay, I gave her the gift, the book. It’s kinda… well, we called it “salting” moment. Cause I’ve never been in this kind of situation before. Maybe it’s because I never been in a relationship before. So it’s obvious that I’ve never give a special gift for a girl, except for my regular friends of course.

And turns out she loved the book. And she said she’s going to read it tonight. *blushing* *cute laughing* *smiling* *salting*

So much for Valentine’s Day. Valérie.
