1..2..10..50...
seratus domba sudah kuhitung
gelap..diam..
cuma gemericik air bocor dari keran
ramai.

Terlelap seolah mustahil,
terpejam namun otak menerawang.
mimpi-mimpi yang harusnya datang kemudian
terlanjur membuncah,
tumpah,
ruah.
Oh tidak! mimpiku terlalu liar untuk dijinakkan!
aku tak dapat menangkapnya,
satu per satu..
untuk kusimpan dulu,
untuk kutabur nanti dalam tidurku.

Kunyalakan lampu,
dan mimpi-mimpi itu mati.
berserakan.
Lalu kuputuskan, "Sudahlah, biarkan saja berantakan.
nanti waktu lampu kembali mati,
toh mereka akan hidup lagi,
seperti zombie."

Kembali gelap.
namun kali ini mimpi-mimpi itu telah pergi dari otakku.
Otakku kosong,
melompong,
kopong.
ya sudah, untuk sementara kau kubiarkan bebas.
Tapi lihat saja,
suatu saat kau akan kutangkap.
Tunggu saja.
sambil aku berhitung
1..2..10..50...

I found this poem made by my really talented friend Picha. Her blog is made specially for her poems. And when I did the blog-walking, I found one that really capture my attention. So, I asked for her permission to reblog that poem, and here it is, the poem is in my blog now. *thank you Picha. ^^

          Cinta-cintamu
                    Kamu memiliki beberapa cinta
                    satu di hatimu
                    sedang yang lain tersebar di sepanjang bibirmu
                    Dan cintaku,
                    adalah salah satu diantaranya


                    Pernah kudengar cintaku berkata :
                    "Sungguh tak apa,
                    terimakasih telah membiarkanku
                    menjadi salah satu diantaranya."


                    Hmm..
                    aku cuma bisa menggeleng-gelengkan kepala
                    Kataku : "Ah, betapa bodohnya ia."

As you know -if you knew- I am a fan of stars, those little-shining-things on the night sky. And because of my past blog post about Galaksi Kinanthi's book review, I want to know more about star constellations.

Historically, the term constellation was used to refer to a perceived pattern formed by prominent stars within apparent proximity to one another. Almost all of modern constellations were share name with the Graeco-Roman predecessor, such as Leo, Scorpius, and Orion. Feels familiar with some of the names? Yes, some of them are the zodiac names.

aroma tanah yang basah,
semerbak wangi mengisi sudut rongga kosong
hujan…
kamu datang.
kosong takkan sempurna
hujan…
selamat datang.

Bandung - saat hujan sore hari

It's one of my favorite books by Dee. I love her way set the plot, although it's kinda cliche for a role like Kugy as a fun, ignorant, dreamer girl and just do whatever she wants, get the most handsome almost perfect guy like Keenan. And don't forget about Ojos! Oh, I just find it like an FTV. But yeah, I admit it, a confident and independent person is waaaay more attractive than the others.

So, this book is actually talk about Kugy : a dreamer, active, ingorant girl, and Keenan : a painter and sculptor, handsome, perfect guy. Thanks to Eko, Kugy's best friend's boyfriend, which is also Keenan's cousin, they met and knew each other, then became great friends since then.
Kugy's already had a boyfriend since high school, Ojos, before she met Keenan. They're good until Kugy started being busied with her social agenda in Sakola Alit and Ojos started questioning Kugy's feeling for him. Then Wanda, Noni's cousin, came into the circle.

Okay, this is the book I’ve just read. I found this book on Goodreads on my book-walking. Those days were the days I missed reading a novel or book –fyi, I didn’t read novels for a very long time– and I think I was pretty excited to choose what books should I buy, that really fill my taste. After some times spending on this book-walking, I found this Indonesian novel by Tasaro titled “Galaksi Kinanthi” (in English “Kinanthi’s Galaxy”) so interesting. It’s included in Indonesian’s Best Book category by Goodreads. And when I read its official review also its readers, I got this “must-bought” feeling. I was captured by its tag line: “Sekali mencintai sudah itu mati?” (english: “Love once then die?”). From its review, I know that it’s a romance novel. Moreover, there’s a review that wrote: “It’s about a 20 years love unsaid love”, and I directly think, “How can be, a love still exist for 20 years without any confession?” Then two days later, I was planning to look for it in Palasari, a book market in Bandung that usually have a cheaper price than the ones in big book store, and I got it for Rp 42.000,00 (USD 5) when usually it’s sold for Rp 60.000,00 (USD 7) in the store. ^^
