I find a post by 9gag said that, "You know you're old when you have more wedding invitation than a birthday party." and yeah, I know I'm old. It's my lifetime best friend's wedding!
It's a very late post btw, but who cares. It's Anda's wedding. \(^o^)/

beautiful isn't it?

I was very surprised when she mentioned about her boyfriend, which is also my high school and college friend, coming to her house, along with his parents. I thought there would be some engagement thing first, since Anda herself hadn't finish her medical school yet. But her parents said there's no need such engagement, "If you two really want to get marry, just marry then," that's what they said. Furthermore, Anda said that she would have her Co-Ass soon, so I really guessed that it would be the next year thing. I was totally wrong!!! She said that they would hold their wedding before her co-ass in September, which means it's in this year. *shock* While there's Ramadhan month in mid-July, and she said that the wedding should be held before Ramadhan. *double shock*
Just to make it clear, that conversation of us was in early April. So I was not exaggerating things when she said all of those things. She just had less than 3 months preparation. For a wedding!! I felt sorry I couldn't be much help for the preparation, I was still in Bandung at that time. But I helped as much as I could do, gave her some suggestions here and there when she needed. She told me about her wedding theme that mostly about fairy tale so she made it a garden party. Not a total garden party as you usually saw in movies, but it's still beautiful. I was asked to make an invitation wording for her. It's kinda hard to match the theme, but thankfully she satisfied with my works. :D

It's been a hectic weeks of my life. My final project (on my own) deadline will be coming so soon, not more than a month. And I've been doing some extra works everyday about that. I stayed up late till 1 or 2 a.m. for that, well yeah, I'm occasionally did that too although I have nothing to do but internet. :p
Apparently, my brain works its best after dinner time, so most of my works were done in the night. That's why I had to stay awake to the point where my brain couldn't think straight, and my code will be in mess if I still pushing myself to work more. That's just gonna be more work for me.

And because of all that disturbing-mind-things, I even couldn't get a comfy sleeps! *sigh* All I can remember is that I've been dreaming many things regarding my final project, from a nice dream where I finally make it through the end, to a nightmare where I -um, better not telling it here. don't wanna jinx it-
Feel like I was haunted by that thing, wait, It's really haunting me, not just my feeling. And to make it worse, my friends did the same thing, haunting me. Yeah, I really appreciate that they have much care about me, regarding my late on this final project, really glad actually to have friends that keep pushing me to reach my own goal. But, hey, it's not like I didn't make an effort about that.  I'm so sorry for not replying your messages, B's. :(

For a preface, it's not for my wedding. But maybe someday I'll use it. :)
One of my friend asked me to make an invitation wedding wording for her. Her wedding theme is gonna be fairy tale like, so I made some poetic-fairy tale wording with this quote in the end of it:

Everyone has their own fairy tale to live on, as us now end a chapter and begin another, as happily ever after.

Oh, how I wish they're gonna be happy ever after. :D
Happy wedding, girl! While you're at it, I'm gonna live my own fairy tale beautifully, just like you do. Although I don't even know in what chapter I'm in now. hahaha....

Adios! ^^

First of all: I finally found it!! Yay!! ^0^
Ok, it's a fantasy book by Clive Barker. And the reason why I was so excited about it is that I'd read this book, which I borrowed from my town's library, when I was in junior high school. That's about 8 years ago!

Then somehow, suddenly I just remembered that old time, but I couldn't recall the title or the story of the book, I remembered nothing but the memories how I really loved this book. I wanted to hunt this book for collection, but how can I found it when I didn't even know the title or the writer. So I spent a lot of times browsing just to find the title. I tried many keywords combination, but null. I was so desperate, I just used the Google Image to browse. Yes, Google Image. I can only remembered that its cover was in blue, but I couldn't even describe it, I just believed that I would remember which book when I found it. So random, but that's the way I found it! I typed the keywords as: "fantasy book cover blue", and there it was on the second page of Google results. How lucky I was! :D

I was reading my past blog and found this quote -if I may said- I posted. And I want to repost it here, with some changes.

Just remember what you've done to someone, maybe someday you'll just get your karma, then you'll realize that the universe has its own way of justice

Oh yeah, I'm one of the believer of the existence of karma, that what we've done might get back to us one day, that what we got is the one that we've planted. Well, maybe it's just my way of life so that I will think twice whenever I want to do something bad to someone. But I'd already been there though. And yeah, karma is a b*tch, that's what they say. True story. ;)

Adios! ^^

Okay, it's not my first trip to Pameungpeuk, but the memories left are still unforgettable. Just like Bayu said,

"Neither the place nor the time that matter... But whom you spend it with..."

My first trip to Pameungpeuk was a year ago, with my classmates, and non-classmates actually. It's 9 of us, in a medium car, not SUV nor van. So you can imagine how crowded inside the car.

Oh, by the way, Pameungpeuk is a region in southern Garut, West Java. It is known for its natural spot like beach, waterfall, and conservation. And for this second trip there, I was with my friends from Gemati (a Magelang group in my college), Amalia, Tutik, Bayu, Andre, Kiky, Nico, and Hamzah. We were planning to depart by night, so the car's rent fee was going to be optimally used by coming back on the next night. Such a reckless decision since there's none of us that really know how to drive. All guys here didn't have their driving license yet, except for Nico, that turn out to have a "shotgun-driving-license". I have advised them to go on daylight, but they insisted.

And the night came, we gathered at the car's parking lot in campus. We departed at about 9 p.m., Nico was the first driver. It turn out to be fine. Seeing that made us feel more at ease. From 8 of us, there're just 2 that have visited Pameungpeuk before, Hamzah and me. And somehow I just can't sleep that night. I closed my eyes, but didn't sleep. I knew that there have been driver change once. Andre drove from the time we started to enter Gunung Gelap. The road through the mountain was extremely curved, made me couldn't sleep even more. Plus, it was rain all the way from Garut and getting bigger once we arrived at the mountain, with the strong wind, that really made an unforgettable journey for me. The road inside was okay, until we almost reached Pameungpeuk, the road was so "no-no". Finally, we arrived at Pameungpeuk region at about 2.30 a.m. We still need to drive about 20 minutes to get to the beach.

Remember my post titled Everybody can change, even the worst one? Here's one truth about it. I guess I'm now witnessing what I was predicting to be true. Finally he finds his "heart". And from what I see, he starts to change into a better he. And now I'm like screaming, "See that?! told ya!" ;D
Maybe people think I'm being naive for the thought I had before, that even a villain has its own reason to be it. Okay I'm not an angel that always have angelic mind, thoughts, even face. In fact, that kind of person freaks me out. I still hate, not free from sin, and I even curse although only in my heart, but what's wrong with having a good thought? It harms no one, nothing. So I guess, I have to have it more from now on, those positive thoughts. But I won't let my devilish side just die like that, for sure. So my life won't be just a monotone.
My point is : Life is already hard enough without all those mind tricks stuffs, so why'd you have to make it way harder by having such negative thought? Enjoy life, because life is just to sweet to be bitter. :)

Adios! ^^

Ok, it's kinda last year to share about my Christmas holiday vacation, but yeah, I'm posting it anyway. Instead, maybe it'll give you some information though, because I'm going to post my holiday at Trans Studio Bandung. Yay! ^^

For you who didn't know Trans Studio, I assume that you're not Indonesian. Give you a little explanation here, it's the first indoor theme park in Indonesia possessed by Trans corp. There're two of them, one in Makasar, South Sulawesi and one in Bandung, West Java, the newest one. It was confirmed as the biggest indoor theme park in the world. What so special about this theme park? I'll give you three reasons from my point of view.

• First, it's indoor. 
• Second, they have the fastest roller coaster in the world that travel in 120 km/hr speed! 
• And third, it's pretty expensive for the entrance ticket, at least for student like me.

Last Christmas, I decided to go home, since my best friends would be there too, Anda and Mojo. hehe.. :)
We had planned to go to Yogyakarta in saturday, Chirstmas eve. And I was planning on making some lunch box for our little trip far before I got home. Then there I was, waking early in the morning, making Kimbab. (I've posted the recipe before, here).

my lunch box's looked like. picture by Mojo

So we departed from Anda's home at about 10.30, and we're going to go to Anda's new home first in Sleman before we had our happy-happy time. Anda had an appointment with some people to get her curtains for the new home ready. And after some times choosing what kind of curtains she wanted to have, finally we're going to go through our plan: SHOPPING AT BERINGHARJO MARKET!! \(^0^)/

DISGUISE

by Lene Marlin

Have you ever felt some kind of emptiness inside
You will never measure up, to those people you
Must be strong, can't show them that you're weak
Have you ever told someone 

Something that's far from the truth
Let them know that you're okay
Just to make them stop
All the wondering, and questions they may have

I'm okay, I really am now
Just needed some time, to figure things out
Not telling lies, I'll be honest with you
Still we don't know what's yet to come

Have you ever seen your face,
In a mirror there's a smile
But inside you're just a mess,
You feel far from good
Need to hide, 

'cos they'd never understand
Have you ever had this wish, 

Of being somewhere else
To let go of your disguise, all your worries too
And from that moment, then you see things clear

Are you waiting for that day when your pain will disappear?
When you know that it's not true what they say about you?
Couldn't care less 'bout the things surrounding you
Ignoring all the voices from my wall

I knew this song when I was in junior high school. It's the ending theme song for a Taiwan drama called Senorita or here, people knew it as Twins. When I finally knew the lyrics, I love it even more, one of my favorite songs. And last night, this song just came across my mind. Hope you enjoy it. :)

Adios! ^^

God... I know you've always been good to me. Thank you for giving me such a wonderful life with wonderful people inside it. I'm happy for my life of course, nothing happier than this life you gave, although sometimes you teach me in the hard way. I just don't know how to say it to you, but that one person you sent to be existed in my life, why I still hold my curse to it? Is there any reason? I knew, there always be. Yeah, I'm fully aware of that. That I'm going to find the answer later.
God... I know that goodness is the things you love. I'm trying to be one, I'm trying to be good, ignoring what I'm struggling with inside. I'm gonna wear that mask. Just please help me to put it much much longer till I can free from everything bad inside. Please keep me smile, so that everyone that see me, will smile eventually. Will you?

I have a post on my previous blog -or should I call it my "galau" blog? hehe- with the same title. But the difference is, that post was dedicated to Chuck Bass, a cast on Gossip Girl series. And this one, is dedicated to Barney Stinson, a cast on How I Met Your Mother series. In case you don't know about those characters or series, well, they're all jerks, playboy that didn't believe in the existence of love and relationship. Maybe some pictures will help you picture them clearly.

Ed Westwick a.k.a Chuck Bass

Neil Patrick Harris a.k.a Barney Stinson 

Out of topic question: "Who's hotter?" hahaha...of course ignore the fact that Neil is a gay. Well for me, of course Ed is hotter!! He's young and has this evil-cold face, another "Ian Somerhalder". gyaaaaa.... >.<

Some people have been wondering, "Who's Pompo? What is this creature? And what makes it very special so I like to use it as my alias, even for my blog?" Well, I'm going to have some explanation about this.
Pompo is an amazing cute doll I have. Imagine an almost-round-blue ball with two broad ears, a trunk, and four small-and-short legs. It's a BALL like! Which make it way mooore cuter. It has these baby-like eyes -you know what I mean : round, big, and have that innocent look- ADORABLE. And also, it had a very thick string with a star-shaped something in the end of it as its tail. But now it doesn't have its tail anymore, because of me... :(  -more on that later-  Too bad I don't have Pompo's picture in my laptop so I can't show you how its looks like. But I found this cute-blue-elephant doll in the internet pretty similar with Pompo. I've edited it here and there so it became more "Pompo". And this is what I'm talking about :
