Sometimes a Song Speaks More Than We Do..
I cried a lot today. Had a lot thoughts of about "how should I live my life" thing. I wanna be happy, and pf course everyone does! But, I don't know. I want something different, something cool, something that I haven't been tried in my whole life before. I sometimes want to sleep and won't wake up the next day. I sometimes want to sit on the huge rock near on the beach like those actors do in films. I sometimes want to go to a farm, lay on the grass and feel the wind blowing my face. That would be cool! But then, the truth is, I wanna run away from this. I'm wounded, my heart is broken. and now I'm having difficulties when it comes to "tell the story" thing. I'm barely talk to people about all my problems. If it really that depressing, I'd cry, or write. I can't get angry. I cry when I'm angry. I hate the fact that there's no one who could understand that. And yes, listening to such an inspiring song helps me a lot.. So, i choose a song called Six Degrees Of Separation by The Script as my medicine. Because sometimes a song speaks more than we do...
"Six Degrees Of Separation"
You've read the books,
You've watched the shows,
What's the best way no one knows, yeah,
Meditate, get hypnotized.
Anything to take from your mind.
But it won't go, ohhhh ohhh
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're going through six degrees of separation.
You hit the drink, you take a toke
Watch the past go up in smoke.
Fake a smile, yeah, lie and say that,
You're better now than ever, and your life's okay
When it's not. No.
You're doing all these things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're going through six degrees of separation.
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little
(Oh no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself)
(No no there ain't no help, it's every man for himself)
You tell your friends, yeah, strangers too,
Anyone who'll throw an arm around you, yeah
Tarot cards
Gems and stones,
Believing all that shit is gonna heal your soul.
Well it's not, no, wohhhh
You're only doing things out of desperation,
Ohhh ohhh,
You're goin' through six degrees of separation.
First, you think the worst is a broken heart
What's gonna kill you is the second part
And the third, Is when your world splits down the middle
And fourth, you're gonna think that you fixed yourself
Fifth, you see them out with someone else
And the sixth, is when you admit that you may have fucked up a little
No there's no starting over,
Without finding closure, you'd take them back,
No hesitation,
That's when you know you've reached the sixth degree of separation

My (Inspiring) Sunday...
Hari ini, saya nonton 2 film.. Eat Pray Love & Letters to Juliet. Film pertama saya tonton karena pengen liat BALI.. wooooohhoooo!!! Dan ngga disangka ada JAMES FRANCO di dalemnya.. makin meleleh deh!! :p Ok, film ini buat saya sadar kalau ternyata yang hidupnya "tidak mulus" itu bukan saya saja. Banyak kok orang-orang yang mungkin sedikit banyak memiliki perasaan atau situasi yang sama. Hanya saja kita yang ngga berani liat dari sudut pandang lain. Dari film ini saya belajar bagaimana cara kita membuka diri, melawan rasa takut, menerima cinta dan juga berani mengambil keputusan. Seandainya saya sebebas Liz, pasti saya juga bakal melakukan hal yang sama. Atau mungkin, saya PASTI akan melakukan hal yang sama suatu hari nanti. Mungkin bukan hari ini, besok atau minngu depan. Tapi saya yakin, PASTI! Dan yah, film ini luar biasa menginspirasi.
Yang kedua, film "Letters To Juliet". File film ini saya dapet dari temen. Awalnya ngga begitu tertarik nonton film ini. Bingung, soalnya ada Italy-Italynya juga. Haha! Film ini sebenarnya nyeritain tentang "true love" "Romeo-Juliet" gitu lah, mungkin klasik bin boring sih, tapi ada satu scene yang sangat menyentuh. Pas si cowok kece bernama Charlie pasang mimik ga rela pas si cewe pemeran utama, Sophie, pulang. Disitu, mulai deh keliatan "true love"-nya. Sesuatu yang susah diungkapkan tapi tidak bisa dilewatkan. Wooooh! Dan dari film ini, saya ambil kesimpulan bahwa. "true love" itu bisa datang kapan saja. Ngga perlu nunggu bertahun-tahun, ngga perlu orang yang bener-bener sesuai selera. Ketika Ia datang, you'll know!
English yo...
I watched 2 films today.Eat Pray Love & Letters to Juliet. I watched the first film because i wanted to see BALI.. woooooohoooo!! And I didn't know that JAMES FRANCO was also in this film, made me melted!! :p Ok, this film made me realized that I'm not the one who doesn't have "the perfect life". Many people have the same problem or same situation. From this film i learned how to open up ourselves, be brave, to find love and also to make a decision. I wish I was free as Liz, I'd probably have done the same thing. Or probably I WILL do the same thing one day. Maybe not today, tomorrow or next week. But i believe, ONE DAY! And yeah, this film is so inspiring.
The second film was Letters to Juliet. I got this film from my friend. At first, i didn't have any interest to watch this film. I was confused. This film also has those Italy stuff. Haha! This film actually talk about the "true love" "Romeo-Juliet" thing, kinda cliche and boring, but there was a very memorable scene. When the charming guy named Charlie looked a little depressed when the lead female character, Sophie had to go back home. At that moment, i could see the whole "true love" thing. Something that you can't say but too good to be missed. Wooooooh! And from this film, I got a conclusion that "true love" can come anytime. No need to wait for years, no ideal person needed. When it comes, you'll know!

My (weird) Essay Assignment
Tugas untuk mata kuliah grammar.. Agak aneh memang, dan obviously.. essay saya tidak menarik! Ini dia.... jreeeeng jreeeng jreeeeng...
“My Strange Natural Phenomenon Experience”
Let me tell you something, my lecturer gave us an assignment. We have to write an essay, the topic is “unsolved mystery in your area”. The book said it could be a murder, someone’s disappearance or strange natural phenomenon. It’s due on Sunday at 11.59 p.m, because my lecturer said “you have to send it via email before Monday”. I was kind of confused, because I think I had no experience about the whole unsolved mystery thing. I mean, I’ve never involved in those murder nor someone’s disappearance case. But when I think about “strange natural phenomenon”, something suddenly came up on my mind.
About in the past two months, my room (which is on the first floor) was always filled with insects what we call “laron”. I am not sure what this insect is called in English, all I know is that thing is super annoying. These “laron” used to come to my room at about 5.30 p.m. I’ve never seen them coming, but they could fill my room in just about 5 minutes. They made buzzing sound like every time they’re in my room. For some people who haven’t seen, they always thought there’s about four or ten “laron” that flew around in my room, especially near the lamp since they’re interested in lights. But when I showed them some pictures (I took some pictures before), they’re shocked, yelled in disgust and sometimes they popped their eyes out.
I don’t know why these “laron” always come. The weird thing is I cannot find them anywhere but my room. My mother said they love my room because the walls are painted pink. Of course it doesn’t have any relation with that, but probably because my windows are facing the garden. I guess I have to shut them before the sun goes down, so the “laron” can’t get into my room. Or the simple thing to do is to turn off the lamp!
(Tidak) Enaknya Jadi Mahasiswa
Mahasiswa ~ apa yang terlintas di benak Anda saat mendengar kata "mahasiswa"?
Sekedar sharing, kebanyakan orang akan menganggap "mahasiswa" adalah orang pintar --dalam kasus ini, makna sebenarnya-- orang terdidik, punya ilmu sekaligus gengsi yang tinggi apalagi kalau kuliah di perguruan tinggi ternama. Bisa naik lah harkat dan martabat sang Mahasiswa beserta segenap keluarganya.
Oke, status saya sekarang ini (masih) mahasiswi. Dari sudut pandang saya, "mahasiswa" sebenarnya cuma istilah. Toh masih tetap ada mahasiswa yang tidak pintar, tidak terdidik (maaf) dan hanya mencari "tempat" buat numpang tenar. Kalau tidak percaya, tanyakan saja pada narasumber nya langsung (baca : mahasiswa-mahasiswa tukang nitip absen). Tidak banyak memang, tapi ada lah. Dan bakal selalu ada, abadi selamanya.
Bercermin dari postingan saya untuk kali ini, jadi seorang mahasiswi itu ada untung dan ruginya, bahkan terkadang terjepit diantara wilayah keduanya. Terkadang saya bingung sama sikap dosen-dosen yang seenaknya. Maksud seenaknya disini adalah, seenaknya datang (baca: terlambat), seenaknya ngasih tugas, seenaknya ngatain mahasiswanya, seenaknya memperlakukan mahasiswanya. Mereka --dosen-- adalah orang-orang yang sedikit banyak diidolakan oleh mahasiswanya. Dianggap sangat inspiratif atau terkadang motivatif. Bahkan bukan tidak mungkin, setiap mahasiswa punya dosen idola masing-masing, apapun alasannya.
Yang jadi masalah adalah ketika (oknum) dosen memperlakukan mahasiswanya dengan semena-mena. Pengalaman ini saya alami pada hari kamis 22 November 2012. Hari sebelumnya, saya tidak ikut UTS di salah satu mata kuliah yang beliau ajar. Kamis pagi, saya bilang kenapa saya tidak ikut dan menolak untuk ujian susulan hari itu, saya luar biasa berharap sang dosen memberi kelonggaran bagi saya karena saya memberi alasan yang jelas. Dengan seenaknya, beliau tersenyum dan meminta saya untuk (mau tidak mau) hadir jam 12.30 untuk ujian susulan. Juju, masalah utamanya bukan sudah belajar atau belum ketika mau ujian, tapi cara beliau menanggapi alasan yang saya utarakan. Hanya tersenyum lalu kembali membaca halaman berita di iPad-nya. Buat saya, itu sebuah tindakan yang sangat merendahkan. Dari gerak-geriknya, tersirat rasa ketidakpercayaan. Dalam hati, saya berkata "memangnya situ siapa? hanya seorang manusia yang terlahir lebih dulu dari saya dan berlaku seperti seseorang yang jauh lebih pintar dari orang lain". Meskipun saya tahu, setiap hari, setiap masuk kelas, gesturenya selalu seperti itu. Terlebih ketika ujian susulan. Menurut saya, beliau memperlakukan mahasiswanya secara tidak adil. Tau kan gimana seorang dosen bertingkah pada mahasiswa yang pintar dan aktif? Saya memang bukan mahasiswi dengan pengetahuan selangit, tidak selalu tunjuk tangan untuk menjawab setiap pertanyaan yang dosen ajukan, bukan mahasiswi kritis yang selalu memberika kritik atau gagasan terhadap topik tertentu. Tapi ketika perlakuan tidak adil itu saya terima, saya juga merasa sakit hati. Se-tidak-berguna kah saya di mata Sang dosen? Padahal beliau dulu adalah seorang dosen yang saya kagumi. Orang cerdas yang menanggapi segala hal secara positif.
Semoga beliau diberi petunjuk oleh Tuhan YME agar bisa menjadi lebih baik lagi. Amiin!

Squid Dumplings
Hari ini saya bereksperimen di dapur.. Haha! Saya suka masak, meskipun tidak hobby. :p Dan, sejak pagi, saya heboh bekerja di dapur. Percobaan saya hari ini adalah dumplings dan chicken katsu. Tepat jam 07.30, sepupu saya, yang super-hobby makan itu bilang kalau dia ingin makan hotdog. Eksperimen dumplings pun ditunda 5 menit. Langsung deh buat hotdog.. Dan, abis mandi langsung lah dilahap tuh hotdog. Ini fotonya. :)
Abis itu, langsung deh saya bikin dumplings. Awalnya gara-gara kemaren sore iseng bikin batagor. Tapi, setelah dipikir-pikir, mending bikin dumplings biasa aja yang dikukus, sekalian diet. Sayang kan kalo makan goreng-gorengan terus, hahaha badan bengkak!! Untuk isian dumplings nya, agak bingung juga sih diawal-awal. Antara ayam ato ikan. Akhirnya ikut ibu ke pasar, dan jreeng jreeng... ada yang jual cumi basah. Ya udah deh, saya beli tuh cumi. Tetep bingung juga, tambahannya apa. Mau di isi sayur, tapi takut ngga cocok. Dan akhirnya, keputusan terakhir yah jatuh ke mie. Tapi Mie goreng cabe ijo. Pada tau kan??? Lagi booming banget tuh mie. FIX, isian dumplings nya mie cabe ijo + cumi basah. Berhubung sepupu saya juga pengen, jadi saya bikin dua versi. Yang barusan itu versi pedas, nah yang versi tidak pedas isiannya tahu yang dihaluskan + cumi basah.
Langsung bikin dumplings. Cumi + Mie cabe ijo yang udah mateng dan tahu yang dihaluskan masing-masing mengisi dumplings yang diset punya bentuk yang berbeda. Abis itu, tinggal dikukus deh.
Sekitar 5 menit dikukus, dumlings isi tahu + cumi sama mie ijo + cumi siap disantap deh...
