"I've been thinking about the past few months" I said to her.
We were sitting on the living room, holding hands as we read the bible. Her face was growing thinner, her hair beginning to lose its luster. Yet her eyes, those soft blue eyes, were as lovely as ever.
I don't think I'd ever seen someone as beautiful.
"I've been thinking about them, too" she said.
"You knew, from the first day in Miss Garber's class that I was going to do the play, didn't you. When you looked at me and smiled?"
She nodded. "Yes."
"And when I asked you to the homecoming dance, you made me promise that I wouldn't fall in love, but you knew that I was going to, didn't you?"
She had a mischievous gleam in her eye. "Yes."
"How did you know?"
She shrugged without answering, and we sat together for a few moments, watching the rain as it blew against the windows.
"When I told you that I prayed for you," she finally said to me, "what did you think I was talking about?"
A Walk to Remember
Majalah dinding yang tak buat kapan itu, ngomong-ngomong sekarang ditaruh dimana ya?
Isinya tentang perjuangan anak-anak di daerah-daerah terpencil yang kalau mau sekolah aja harus berjuang mati-matian.
Aku aja yang tinggal naik becak ke sekolah sering males, hoho.
Kadang-kadang, kasian sama orang tua yang mampu tapi anaknya males sekolah. Buat apa orang tuanya kerja susah-susah, tapi kalau anaknya akhirnya nggak jadi apa-apa.
Ibuku selalu bilang, "Semua orang tua pasti menginginkan kalau anaknya lebih sukses daripada dia. Orang tua kerja juga buat anaknya, buat anaknya maju."
Ayo berjuang menggapai cita-cita :)
Remember him?
I took random pictures of him, again.
Sometimes I wanna be so small like him, and sit on the branch tree. Feeling the breeze through my hair. Feeling free. Breathing the fresh air.
I love them so much

Somehow, it's sad when there's just me but none of them
It was Saturday evening when my cousin asked me and my brother if we wanted to go out with him. We agreed, cause there was nothing to do.
I thought he asked some of my cousins to join, so I brought a camera, since I have tons of my friends picture, but my cousins? None, and I want to have some. But when he picked us up at 8 pm there were just me, my brother, he and his sister. That's okay anyway.
We were confused. We had no idea where we should go. Me and my brother were depending our choice on them, since my cousin was the driver.
After fooling around, and filling the fuel in the nearest gas station, they had decided our destination : AW, the American fast food restaurant. Instead of going to the nearest AW, they decided to go the AW at Juanda Airport which took 1,5 hours from my house since she drove slowly and took the farthest route.
I realised that at that moment we all have gown up. My brother and me are in our sophomore year, but he's in the junior high school. My cousin is studying at the university now, and his sister had just graduated form the university last year, and she's going to get married next year.
When we were children, we never got so close like this. We missed our quality time for each other, but at that moment we started getting close as a cousin relation should be.
We went to the airport as it had been planned. We ate together, but we didn't talk too much. We spent about 15 minutes here. Finished, then went home, but I took some funny pictures of my brother and my cousin.
Airport always reminds me of farewell. When I looked at them, I realised how lucky I was that I could be with them until that day. We never know what will happen, don't we?
Finally, I arrived home at 11 pm. I was a simple trip, but means a lot to me.
Waktu kelas 2 SMP, masa cocok-cocoknya sama temen-temenku. Tiba-tiba temen baikku yang paling berarti bilang kalau bapaknya sudah mengajukan surat buat dipindah ke kota lain. Rasanya sedih pol, walupun waktu itu masih belum pasti.
Semenjak saat itu, momen sesimpel apapun rasanya jadi berarti. Karena aku nggak pernah tahu sampai kapan dia bakal nemenin aku.
Kami berdua bukan tipe yang suka jalan-jalan di mall, acara hang out kami ya pergi berdua ke warnet, terus ngenet bareng. Kami pernah nggak sengaja bolos pelajarannya Bu Jupe karena gak tahu kalau sudah bel, dan malah asyik ngobrol tentang hidup di mata anak SMP di jendelanya kelas kosong yang ngadep ke jalan. Waktu kami duduk-duduk di depan Kelt sambil nungguin temenku dijemput. Haha, memori-memori indah.
Seharusnya semua manusia bisa merasakan hal yang sama, hanya saja aku pun belum bisa sepenuhnya. Hanya ke orang-orang tertentu.
Hari ini ketika menunggu rapor sisipan yang sedang dibagikan, saya mendengarkan dia bercerita soal Bill Gates yang dulu nilainya dibawah teman-temannya tetapi pada akhirnya keadaan berbalik dan teman-temannya yang nilainya diatas Bill Gates jadi anak buahnya.
Dia bilang...
Tidak salah. Tapi itu bukan alasan buat malas belajar :))
I know I'm not good at expressing my feeling. But there's something that I want to tell you. Lately, when I close my eyes, I see those buried dreams. I know that I still want to reach it, although it has been away. Look back on what I used to be. How eager I was. How I struggled to keep it seems real. Then I stopped. I want to try it again, but stuck in this helpless situation. Trapped by obligation and revelation. A long journey is waiting ...
Habibah, my classmate who is usually called Bibul, asked me to make a figure of her and her boyfriend, Hafizan (Nick name = Boss <--- they both have real name start with H, and nick name start with B. How sweet!) for his birthday. So here it is.
Made during school days, which were days of trigonometry and chemistry exam. So Bibul went to my home, she made this, and I helped her. But of course, this couldn't be finished in a couple of hours, and I had to stay up late working on this, finishing (studying, also). I knew it was hard, but I realized that someday I will face this kind of choice; you have to study a super difficult subject, and also do your work! It was like a challenge to me, anyway.
I'm glad I could finish it. But I got 55 in my chemistry exam. Just don't get about the hybridization theory and some of the things.
You know what? Chemistry sucks. And my chemistry teacher has terrible teaching method. Even the master of chemistry, Romce hate her method. And somehow the teacher looks confused.
Today, I wasn't in a mood, so all I did was doodling on my sketchbook. You will have inspirational idea at school, so bring your sketchbook to school! Trust me, it works.
FYI, I am not that bad student at all, haha, I still listened to her, tough. I got it, even the simplest one, not the complicated one. hehe *grins*
Ok. That's all :)
Kenapa berubah? kenapa membingungkan? Kenapa di banyak waktu baik sekali? Kenapa di lain waktu bisa tega sekali? Atau aku belum melihat dari sudut yang lain? Atau memang emosi yang menguasai? kemana semangatmu? kenapa tidak bisa melihat apa yang ada di depan mata? kenapa tidak bisa berpikir bahwa seburuk apapun hidup pasti ada sisi baiknya? kenapa tidak bisa melihat apa yang kamu punya? kenapa disia-siakan?
Kenapa?

Actually it was Litha's doodles in the white board, and I think it was good to be our class's logo (Actually we have one, but this new version is more colorful which express the happiness in our class). So I took a picture of it, and draw it again using computer in case we want to make our class T-shirt.
This drawing is a new style of me, hahaha. Check out my previous blog, clik here. And choose 'artwork' in the 'menus'. My previous blog has some of my drawing, but not my clay work. It is different from my usual drawing. Oh ya, this blog header is my drawing too.
Thanks to Wika who teach me this new style :D
then life would be everything it could be
everything'll be fine
if you say you’ll be mine
my love…… dubidubidu
we laugh and sing and the sun will shine
happy together just wasting time
everything'll be fine
if you say you’ll be mine
my love…

There are a lot of flower because I love making it! and I made too much, but make it looks good.
I used to hate making flowers especially roses. It was too difficult, too small to make. But there are a lot of clay works which need roses. So I keep practicing, and viola... it is not too difficult now.

Sorry for late post, I'm busy visiting my relatives. But I stay in Surabaya, my beloved city because My Father hates traffic jam
I just got a call from my father that my mom got hospitalized. Gosh! I hope she's getting better. Tomorrow, I'll look after her. Actually I want to now, but.. I have to stay at home with my brother, taking care of my grandma since my father is the only child.
I miss my school soooo much, especially my friends, kempit (my class name). I wish I could meet them right now. Spill all my story, the bad or the good one. Everything! Hh.. I'm afraid.
Minta doanya semoga ibu saya cepat sembuh. Maaf, chatnya belom bisa dibalas.
Litha and Ayu. Both of them were my classmates. But now Ayu goes to social class. But me and Litha stay in the same class, since all of us will be together for 3 years.
That's my school tradition. Some of you may think that it will be boring being in the same class with the almost same people. But for us, it's not. It's like I have another 'family', the big family, besides the real one. Anyway, this is our blog, click here, if you want to know more :))
Once upon a time, when they were married, someone yelled , "Hey, look up to the sky!"
The bridegroom didn't respond, but the bride responded and looked up to the sky.
So here they are, with the bride's head looks up.
Anyway, that's just an excuse. It was me who made the mistake, while making it a few months ago. I wasn't careful enough, so I didn't realize when the bride's head started going back, cause it's bigger than the body.
But mistakes make people better, don't they?
FYI, I'm now working with my last project. For me making clay is just for fun (but I'm seriously into this), which is unfortunately cost lot of money. But thankfully both of mu parent support me. Thank God.
Oh ya, I'm planning to make up a story and create a figurine of it. I've got the idea, just need to write it down, and of course the longest part is making the figurines! Since school, courses and everything take lots of my time. But the Idul Fitri's holiday is no longer away, so I think I will have a lot of spare time. Just pray for me that I can defeat the laziness which always comes on fasting day, and the fact that trigonometry and biology exams are coming up after holiday won't disturb me.
Have nice days!!!
Hanami (花見?, lit. "flower viewing") is the Japanese traditional custom of enjoying the beauty of flowers, "flower" in this case almost always meaning cherry blossoms or ume blossoms.[1] From mid January to early May, sakura bloom all over Japan.I know the sakura trees are kinda weird, but yah... I'm still learning. LOL. But I do love the japanese people, they're sooo cute...

It was my dad, who took the photos. He had an assignment from his online photographic course.
Me in junior high school and me in senior high school is like flip over your hand. I used not to participate in all the school event. My friends thought I was a weirdo, but I'm glad I still have a lot of friend.
But now, I participate a lot in the school events. Being the committee, designing brochure, banner, etc, although my designs aren't always used. And somehow it became so disappointing when my juniors in the previous school don't know that I was her senior. It's like I wasn't existed. But that doesn't mean that I wasn't happy. I was happy, but now is better :))
Participating in the school events is tiring. But, when I contribute myself to my school. I feel like I was needed. I'm not useless. It's a bliss for me. I'm glad I'm here now.
Anyway, two weeks ago I made a key chain for my friend's boyfriend, who is player of the basketball team. And all of students in my school are so proud and happy when they won the game several times until they become fantastic four team in DBL.
Today, they gonna play the match again. I hope my school will win the game. I believe in them. I will pray and support them today, although the transportation will cost lots of money, since my parent don't want to take me there (as usual!)
Sorry for the bad pictures. I almost late for the ceremony!!!
