way back into home

grammar class with a beautiful pregnant teacher, miss Ria, just ended. I prepare myself to go downstairs so I can get to home early. but when I reach downstair, I saw 3 motorbikes behind my motorbike so they are blocking my way out. I take deep breath. today is so hot and I think I can wait until one of the owner of those motorbikes move their motorcycle so I can pass through. thus, I take a sit and start looking around. there are some students who don't go home yet. I keep waiting, wondering if someone finally take his/her keys and let me and my motorbike go home..
finally, a guy comes up and move his motorbike. he goes to someplace-I-don't-care and I, with a smiley face, finally can go home.. :D
usually, when I am riding my motorbike, I only pay attention to the road, the policeman (ugh) and other vehicles so I can drag it fast. oh, yeah. of course I watch the traffic lights, too :p but this time, I decide to watch everything along the road. the street is not too crowded so I can ride it slowly and watch everything near me.
my first attention is a young boy who carries a Fixie with his father who's riding a motorbike. hmm. this is the first time for me seeing Fixie in my town. I keep following them and my left hand start to take my cellphone in my bag which I put in my back, and with eyes moving from road, to cellphone, to rearview mirror, and yes! I take their photos! hahaha o dear God. there are policemen and a few meter in front of me there is a traffic light. so I put my cellphone back to my bag, and stop in the traffic light.

my second observed is a bazaar and Ramadhan market in trades offices. hmm, pretty crowd. some cars can not get through so it stucks and make a temporary traffic jam. I do want to take the photos but I have to keep riding. sigh.
next to the office there are a provider office and put ads in their office. a very low prices to call from 2 am til 5.59 am. hmm. they keep doing that during Ramadhan, those providers. making promises about an inexpensive calls, thousand free short messages, and yada yada yada. but, yeah. I do trust this provider :p
before my bike reaches railways crossings, I stop by in a workshop to fill up the tires. after giving a thousand idr to the mechanic man, I continue my journey.
It is so hot that I want to take some nap when I get home. but at the time I want to open the fence, my mom show up and says,"why do you take so long? Take me to the market" --"

amazing weekend

I went to Kota Tua and Monas last Friday with my housemates. I actually doubted that I could go there considering that I still had remaining undone tasks that had to be done. but since I've had the busiest week ever in May (meetings, assignments..), I decided to leave it and grab the rarest chance ever, spending time with my housemates, since we have this unmatched schedule. so we went to Kota Tua and we took a lot (trust me, A LOT) of photos with Laura's camera ;) and when the twilight touched this part of Indonesia, we set our feet to trans jakarta shelter and headed to Monas. even when hadn't touch the front gate of Monas, we already took so many pictures! hahaha you can imagine when a bunch of girls holding a camera.. we just can't hold the passion of taking pictures.. lol when we finally went back to our house, I immediately took a bath, and reached my bed to sleep because I was extremely exhausted, but happy! :D the next day, on Saturday morning, my friend asked...

A Story of Unsuccessful Romance: Chapter 1

 I Saw You Across The Classroom I would've never thought that the moment I saw him for the first time across our classroom was the moment that I would remember for the longest time. I was just a 14 year old kid who like pretty people with pretty eyes. Little did I know I would think over him over the years.. I got accepted to one of reputable public high school in my city, barely. My name was at the bottom of selection results, like, the last 5 people who got in to this school. Nevertheless, I was excited, of course. It was my dream to be a student here since it would help me path my way to go to reputable universities in the future. Back then, this school had two special programs, the acceleration program where you could study in high school for two years, and the international program - where you (were supposed to) learn all the subjects in English. I just finished my orientation and I was initially studying at grade X (ten) - 3. My mom, who was a high school teacher herself in a...

これを書き留めておく必要があります。そうしないと、気持ちが溜まってしまいます。

 日本を離れるとき、心が痛みました。自分に誓ったのは、日本の更新情報を見ないということです。 事実、私はまだ友達の投稿や日本に関する更新情報を見ていました。傷ついた気持ちからそう言ったのです。それは私の人生で最も素晴らしい時期であり、終わらなければなりませんでした。 時々SNSを開きたくないと感じることがありました。彼らがまだ日本で生活を楽しんでいるのを見て、私は現実に戻らなければなりませんでした。悲しんでいましたが、前に進まなければなりませんでした 時々、まだそこで知り合った人たちに連絡を取り、何かを言ったり、彼らの近況を尋ねたりしていました。 しかし、もはや共通の話題がないため、会話は行き詰まりました。その後、彼らがグループチャットで話しているのを見て、取り残された感じがしました。少し奇妙な感じがしました。大げさに言えば、疎外された感じがしました。 ありがたいことに、あるいは悲しいことに、私には日課がありました。日本やそこにいるみんなのことを考えなくてすむような日課です。しかし、一人でいるとき、突然思いがよぎり、また悲しくなることがありました。まるで心に突き刺さる痛みのように。 時には、彼らの中の何人かがまだ個人的にメッセージを送ってきました。不思議なことに、忘れられていないという感謝の気持ちがあります。まだ彼らの生活の一部であり、冗談を言い合えるということです。 私は内向的な性格で、何よりも平和を選びます。彼らが連絡を取りにくいなら、おそらく私からは連絡しません。終わったものは終わったのです。良い時期を過ごしましたし、それを台無しにすることはありません。 ただ、1年前、2年前に起きたことについての通知を見たとき、それはあまり助けにはならないですね。それが私の人生だったのか、と思ってしまいます。 When I was about to leave Japan, my heart ached. I swore to myself that I would not look at any updates from Japan. The fact is, I still saw my friends' posts and updates about Japan. I said those things because I felt hurt. It was t...
