Skinny Love


Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt, we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all

Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in this moment this order's tall

And I told you to be patient

And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

In the morning I'll be with you

But it will be a different kind
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here

We suckled on the hope in lite brassieres
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full, so slow on the split

And I told you to be patient

And I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kind

And now all your love is wasted

And then who the hell was I?
And I'm breaking at the bridges
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?

Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?
Ooh, ooh

Come on skinny love

My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my  

(Skinny Love - Bon Iver)

Part of Growing Up


Some parts of growing up were never been easy. There are times when others can't watch over your back, you need to recover yourself from really really messed-up things. They are either lessons, or curses, it is you who decide. In another part of my life, self-healing is such a liberating power.

Pink Moon


I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on it's way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
Hey, it's a pink moon
It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.
It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon.

I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on it's way
And none of you stand so tall
Pink moon gonna get you all
It's a pink moon
Yeah, it's a pink moon

(Pink Moon - Nick Drake)

Siklus

Hari ini ada semangat yang dibangkitkan kembali. Semangat yang sempat memudar karena fase hidup yang begitu bergegas di beberapa bulan terakhir ini. Akhir-akhir ini, agaknya banyak kegiatan dan peristiwa yang seakan menyuruh aku untuk mengingat kembali masa-masa itu. Masa dimana aku belum mengenal buruknya lapisan udara di ibu kota beserta segala keindividualistisannya yang ternyata, belum lama ini aku sadari,  menular. Ya, aku berani bertaruh bahwa sifat individualistis itu bentuk lain dari flu, dan celakanya, jika sudah dalam jangka waktu yang cukup lama, ia menyerang alam bawah sadar. 
Hm mungkin bukan pudar kata yang tepat, tapi lama tersimpan dalam gudang yang namanya 'niat'. Bukan berarti tidak niat, kalau boleh berkelit dan mengeluh, ini adalah akibat dari jumlah waktu yang hanya 12 jam sehari, sehingga aku tidak sempat mengeluarkannya dari gudang. Oke, semangat itu adalah semangat berada dalam siklus mencari-menemukan-merefleksi. Siklus yang panjang, letih, membingungkan, namun menghasilkan pemahaman baru. Refleksi sebagai hasil akhirnya, adalah hasil kontemplasi dari proses, ia adalah pemenuhan akal dan perasaan. Rasanya seperti ekstasi, nagih. Oleh karena itu, walaupun sudah ketemu tapi selalu kembali lagi ke awal, yaitu mencari. Mungkin memang butuh sesuatu yang sifatnya destruktif untuk pencapaian diri yang lebih tinggi. Mendestruksi pengetahuan yang sudah ada, demi pengetahuan yang lebih kritis. Mendestruksi zona nyaman perasaan, demi cara berpikir yang lebih lapang.

Just A Few Updates

Hi,

It's been a while since I wrote anything substantial on my blog. Well, I don't think I "have" wrote any substantial thing before either. Honestly, I always think my friends' blog always be really good to read, much better than mine, substantial. And I love spending hours just to blog-walk their pages. That's why I was a little confuse when my boyfriend told me that I have abandoned this personal blog of mine, rotten, for such a long time. He told me to write again, but I don't really remember when is the last time I jot down my mind in a blog post. All I can remember is, I post photos, with a little briefs, and captions. That's all. Haha, how sad.

By the way, I work in Jakarta now, and I've been very, literally, busy with my job lately. This is my first job as a fresh-graduate. Even the rush has started before graduation, and it became crazier the day after my graduation day. I had to search for dorm the night before the first day of my job, which is a day just after the day I graduated. Well I had to do that at night because I have a photo job from Sunday morning to evening, which I couldn't cancel. My parents and I arrived at 9 p.m in Jakarta that night, then we hunted out immediately, because my parents had to go back to Bandung before midnight. Luckily, after a desperate search, we found a dorm, which one of my friend recommend, and it happened that my parents really liked it because of a really 'conservative' reason. It's girls-only, haha.

I work as Nicoline Patricia's assistant now, which is more like a dream job to me. I was very happy just to know that I was given the opportunity to follow the probation, and even happier to be accepted as her assistant, because she's one of my favourite photographer (and Agra's too, hehe). I even didn't expect that I was called for an interview, and I was thankful that Agra's being very helpful to help me get through the process. :)

I learn that working here means there isn't anything sure, mostly about time. The worst part for me, is to adapt with this city I'm actually hate, haha. The traffic jams, the heat, unbelievably impatient people.. but I don't know, perhaps getting to know more about Jakarta will make me love this city, maybe.Anyway, I don't want to worry about too much things about my job, because I know it's all worthwhile. I'm living my own dream anyway.

☁ ☁ ☁

The days when the sky looked so damn pretty. They maybe aren't the best days in my life, but I kinda want to keep them colours in a jar, so I can take them out when life's being bitchy.

S. Sn.

First of all, I MISS blogging real bad!!! Akhirnya bisa mengetik dengan hepi tanpa harus berhati-hati dengan format, ejaan, dan kutipan-kutipan jahanam, yes. Omong-omong, aku sudah sarjana loh. Entah harus senang atau apa, karena tantangan yang sebenarnya justru hadir setelah kelulusan. Tapi yang jelas, harusnya sih sekarang aku was-was karena belum juga jahit kebaya buat wisuda, lalala~! Anyway, these are some photos from the big event that happened to me lately, enjoy.

 Sepertinya satu dari sedikit foto yang diambil saat proses kerja, dan kelupaan banget ada foto ini. Jadilah yang masuk di bab 3 makalah hanya seonggok foto close-up tangan yang sedang mengarsir, mana kukunya lagi jelek banget (?), photo by: saudari Kara Andarini, teman seperjuangan dan satu studio, gambar hippo itu salah satu karyanya loh ;)

Setengah jadi, sempat ditinggal kabur ke Bali seminggu, haha.

 Perkenalkan, ini tukang frame langgananku yang sangat berdedikasi. Namanya Pak Amas. Walaupun sering banget (banget (banget)) ngaret, tapi doi mau-mau aja dateng bantuin display seharian sebelum sidang dan sabar banget ngadepin kebawelan-kebawelanku. :D

by Agra

 Sebelum sidang, tapi setelah dilihat lagi kenapa fotonya kaya padus lagi ngapalin lagu gini ya.

DRWG07, nama geng, diberikan oleh ketua geng Kara Andarini karena karya kami drawing pakai pulpen semua, hazek.  (dari kiri ke kanan: pilot, smile, standard)

Happy Tummy & Colorful Umbrellas

Keuken #2 is all about getting wet and treating the happy tummies. Surprisingly, as the rain poured down the Saparua street, the people who came reclaiming it just kept getting more crowded. I'm looking forward to see the next Keuken, hope it would be a more pleasing feast. A bigger and longer street,  if I may expect.
