Jonsi - Gathering Stories (from the movie We Bought A Zoo)
I can’t wait for thursday. I will get my life back. GET MY LIFE BACK.

Halló, this is Iceland.
Maybe one day, when you are not such a busy and important human, you can visit me in a flying machine and drive into my darkness and turn off your tele-phone and be quiet and look up into my sky, and think about how small you are.
Bless bless,
- Iceland
bless me to get there soon.
if only you lived in outer space, it might be much easier for me. you’d be totally unreachable. I’d forget you easily, as simple as I knew it’s impossible to have a crush on an outer space boy. but the fact, you live on the same planet with me. I could meet you any minute in a day, and I say hello, and then you give me a :)
and you know what, it stuck on my mind for hours, days, and years. but knowing that you’re still that damn unreachable, it’s killing me.
sorry for being sooo mellow. I’m wondering if it’s really me.
I don’t even remember where I made a start. dan yang sangat membantu adalah melihat postingan tumblr sendiri, dari januari 2011 :) (this is gonna be a looong post to read).
yang pasti 2011 adalah taun dimana saya berjuang banget buat bisa stay with and enjoy my college life. dan sepanjang tahun, akhirnya saya bisa bilang one day I will make a good city. you just come, visit, walk, stay, and live your life here, but I will be the one who make it.
dan overall difficult things and thoughts about what I want to do in my life, saya sampai pada satu tujuan, travelling. buat orang lain travelling bisa jadi hal yang sangat biasa aja. buat liburan, refreshing, hobi, and so on. tapi buat saya, kadang alesan travelling is just for the sake of travelling itself. saya sedikit banyak setuju sama si leonardo di caprio.
when I was young, I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think, ‘How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?’
buku scandinavian explorer jadi salah satu buku paling bagus yang saya baca di tahun ini. skandinavia dan dunia, ada di daftar paling atas motivasi saya when things get hard.
taun 2011 juga pertama kalinya saya dan dua teman, backpackeran ke thailand. luar negeri bukan jadi gengsi, tapi karena nyatanya pergi ke indonesia timur juauh lebih mahal daripada ke negara tetangga. so many things happened, dan yang paling bikin saya masih berpikir why it happened to me adalah ketika saya, harus ditunda keberangkatannya karena masalah paspor.
setelah ngurus ini itu, alhasil saya, sendirian, berangkat ke phuket dengan flight malam. naik pesawat - turun pesawat - nungguin bis - naik bis - ngobrol bercanda sama kernet dan supir bis thailand, all by myself.
not so easy but so much fun. why it happened to me dan akhirnya saya nemuin jawaban because a real backpacker could survive any situation.
love life. what should I share. kayaknya udah banyak postingan tumblr saya yang menye menye tentang ini. jadi nggak perlu ditambah lagi disini :)
satu lagi momen 2011 yang paling bikin saya pengen operasi plastik di tempat. juni 2011, hari ulang tahun saya. dengan baik hatinya teman teman mengundang saya buat nraktir mereka. saya dateng ke sebuah tempat makan yang rame full penuh. tinggal 1 meja yang reserved. nggak ada siapa siapa. kosong. cuma penuh dengan tempelan foto saya dengan berbagai macam jenis, termasuk model gayus tambunan. saya ditinggalin sendirian. itu lebih parah daripada dicemplungin di kolam kodok sekolah.
2011 saya punya temen baruuu. sebenernya taun sebelomnya juga udah ketemu, tapi lama lama saya ngerti, they’re real friends who are really there for me. and vice versa. tau kenapa saya males kuliah. gimana saya bercanda. kenapa saya sedih. dan terakhir, mereka kasih saya pohon natal kecil :) they don’t even celebrate christmas. I really appreciate it.
you’re still reading so far? there are still zillion things happened in my 2011 but this post can’t be any longer :)
so, 2012. any resolution?
resolution, I make it yesterday, today, and tomorrow. not only in a new year :) as sigur ros ever said, the best thing God has created is a new day.
I always hope can reach my dream, a very tiny part of it, today.
I can’t sleep. feel a bit strange. repeat the same song over and over again. what’s it called? Love? okay then.
hari ini sudah tanggal enambelas, dan belum ada pohon natal di rumah saya :) belum ada lampu lampu cantik, belum semua keluarga berkumpul, belum ada roti roti enak.
saya, agak sedih. natal itu, hari hari paling menyenangkan. natal itu, selalu bikin saya pengen pulang walaupun emang udah di rumah. natal itu, bikin saya kangen nggak tau sama siapa. natal itu, segalanya. tapi hari ini, desember ini, rasanya sama kayak bulan bulan lainnya.
the worst thing now is that, I had a bunch of tugas kuliah yang nggak ada matinya. dan ini menguras segalanya.
and I don’t know why I’m crying. listening to christmas songs. missing the christmas moment so bad, even it’s only a week to go. A week to go. and I haven’t found any christmas feeling.
dear Santa, would you come earlier and tell me, “it’s never too late to have the christmas spirit in your heart.”

Photo idea: Bokeh the heck out of your Holiday lights!
Use an aperture of 2.8 or wider and throw your lights out of focus.

“Passion is what you enjoy the most! Something that motivate you to get up in the morning. Sesuatu yang tetap membuat Anda bersemangat mengerjakannya walau sudah larut malam dan membuat orang lain di sekitar Anda bilang, “You are crazy, dude!” If you think it is so “you”, that’s passion! Bukan hobi. Sebab, hobi kalau tidak dilakukan, ya, tidak akan membuat kita mati. Contohnya saya, people and food are my passion! Jangan susah-susah mencari definisi passion. Yang penting, what you enjoy the most!”
