happy health sunday!

Holla!

i just had a morning run with my little brother, he was like... "let's go to the stadium and run for 10 laps!" yet he was the first one who collapsed, moreover, he barely finished one lap. i'm da winner!

running is good for your heart, health yet if after you run you eat something like lontong padang the calories you've burned are coming back again. try to eat healthy meal like oatmeal and bread.

happy sunday, fellows!

RIS (Rombak Itu Sendiri) a.k.a. DIY (Do It Yourself) Flowery Pants

From a hand-me-down super big flowery pants i had it turned into hareem pants. Well not really a hareem pants that i usually see but it looks like it though. I only asked the tailor to add rubber on both ends so it turns stretchy. I can't describe it grammatically right and descriptively perfect, here... pictures will do!

Believe me, before i had it turned to be like this, it wasn't cute on me. Awfully not cute. I look like an out-of-place vintage icon who has no sense of fashion either in the present or back in the 90s.

Now at least mom doesn't argue with me wearing that stuff, that's a good sign. I've always been the runner up of most unfashionable person in my family. My newly born little brother is on the 1st place cause he wears pink socks that indefinitely designed for girls.

Effort and Talent

They said human is the most perfect creature that God creates. But human are also the places of imperfections. We all know that we are imperfect and powerless in some ways but we know with our limited power we can do a lot of things to show that we are more than other humans. We can do the tricks.

When human can do these tricks human can appear to be more powerful. Just take a look at those politicians, scientists, and artists who appear to be better than us all. It's not like they are really more than us or anything. It's either they do more, or they see more. They want. We can do anything if we really want it. The universe will helps us. But if we are not so sure or not specific enough the universe will not know how to make it real.

Effort is the most common trick that we can learn and do. It's okay if we want to be the best or better than the others, it's our way to enjoy the life. It's annoying right? To only watch some people glimmering on the stage while what we can do is sitting? Humans have this tendency.

Now how about talent? There are people who are really good and fast on learning and there are people who take a long time to absorb something. It's sometimes because of their parents' effort. We learn about giving right? Just imagine that those people's ancestors did something really great or gave a big contribution to the earth therefore the universe, God, Gaea, (whatever terminology you use to call the biggest power that rules this... unbelievable enormous space) gave them wealth that is sufficient to be inherited to their great great great great... children.

Well, It's all about divine secret.

Friendship, interlinking matters

Everything changes with the same pace. The scenario of God goes on. From Act 1, 2, and so on. We don't know what lies on Final Act, but we are all playing on our role dutifully.

This scenario is full with scenes, relations, interlinking matters.

Interlinking matters. We are all interlinking matters. And we name some of the major links we made. Those that have the same kind of links, connections. One of the name is friendship. Friendship is a name human gave to the connections (links) of some of our cells with the others. These cells are not scientific. They are the most little part that determines what we feel as bigger organism.

Have you ever felt it? Your feeling through your friend? Your bestfriend?
It makes you special and it makes you more aware of your existence in the world. It's a positive link that leads you to good deeds such as helping, caring, and learning to believe. It's health for those cells.

I have felt that kind of feeling. With my bestfriends. If you consider each other as friends, it lasts forever. Well, when you mean it actually. Like me and them. Though we don't meet as often as we used to, we know tat we are still the same. What has changed is our place, our activity, and our understanding towards this big scenario. One will never change from that day these cells build tis "friendship" link with their cells, the connection itself. As we can't change any meetings that set up by God.

This post is made because the chiki chuba that we used to eat together after school are messing up my bed here (my brother is visiting me at the moment). The memory s a crystal clear that i can close my eyes and live that moment.

From that moment on... we are bestfriends.

Dari zaman chiki chuba masih gopek dua,
sampai sekarang seven eleven merajalela,
dan seterusnya,
selamanya,
kita bersahabat.

Watching the airplane

Alam and i had searched a place at which we can watch the airplane do the takeoffs and touchdowns. Alam is really into airplane stuffs. Yesterday we accidentally found it. We went to Kramat Jati Indah to  help my dad with his business and after that we went to the rooftop of the mall (KJI).

So if you guys love to watch airplanes too just go there... It's still distant actually, from the airport (Halim Perdana Kusuma) but it's the best spot there. The highest rooftop nearby.

Asri Pratiwi Wulandari

It's a parking lot. It must be empty most of the time cause some parts of the floor were covered with mildew (and still are i guess).

When we went there (Me and Alam) the sunset sweetened the moment yeeeeet Alam was very very into airplanes he couldn't think of anything! -_- I was actually a bit disappointed that he didn't do anything sweet. Well, i guess it's okay, he is not a character that came out from my shoujo manga, right? 3D boys are like that... (mostly)

We were there for some minutes until it was 5 PM and then we went home. On the way i told Alam:

"Alam you are sooo not romantic."

and he chuckled. He said:

"Ulan had been imagining about romantic thingies, eh? Hahaha. What did you expect me to do?"

HAHAHA.

Well you can simply enjoy this place in the afternoon (4PM-twilight) especially if you have a boyfriend who acts like that prince from "Enchanted"

Eh but Alam you are still da best! We are P.I.C ! ! !

Daily Activity

Sudah lulus, masih harus kursus, karena SBMPTN harus lulus (hey! that rhymes)

Setiap hari ulan kerjaannya bangun pagi, telat datang ke NF (karena selalu diganggu oleh keinginan untuk tetap tidur dan macet yang tak terhindarkan), pulang, mandi, makan, ganti baju tidur (gak peduli meskipun adzan dzuhur baru saja berkumandang)

Lalu setelah rapi, minum susu jahe sambil mengerjakan problem set dari NF. Sampai malam. Malam baca literatur lain (novel, buku lain) lalu bobo unyu. Eh kadang-kadang juga meskipun malam makan roti dan nutella. Sudah tak jelas ya siang dan malamnya -_-

Susu Jahe

Problem Set

Roti + Nutella

Begitulah. Tapi semoga lulus SBMPTN. Dan setelah itu semoga daily activitynya lebih baik...

Our 21st Month

Today is the 4th of June. Tuesday. And it is raining outside. I just woke up from my wonderland. I read a text from Alam telling that it is the 21st 4th. We've been together this long. It seems like our relationship is never dull. The laughters, the upheavals. Too many stories to dig.

I always believe that we live our own life and we have the ultimate role in it. When i throw in Alam into mine it doesn't mean anything but having someone to accompany me sitting on the throne (doing the ultimate role) but that also means i'm in him accompanying him doing his role.

I remember a venn diagram that could probably explain.

Our worlds collide and here comes a parallel world in which we can live together. We are all living the bubbles of our own and we can unite by doing this kind of thing. Socializing means we agree that we want to share a parallel life with others.

And ALAM! We've been there for 21 months :D
Keep it up!

Hitler jahat?

Siapa yang gak kenal Hitler? Orang yang nganggep buku sejarah itu kayak obat tidur. Hitler itu salah-satu tokoh yang mudah diingat. Dia terkenal kejam, tapi kumisnya imut. Comical gitu.

Adolf Hitler gak bercita-cita jadi orang yang terkenal kejam di seluruh dunia. Entah apa yang dia rasakan kalau tau. Sedih mungkin. Soalnya dia kan intinya hanya sangat-sangat nasionalis (ekstrim sih caranya).

Dulu Adolf Hitler mau jadi seniman, tapi orang-orang dari college gak nganggep karyanya itu cukup menjanjikan, nggak nganggep bakatnya itu sesuatu yang dapat diasah menjadi permata, such thing. Dia malah disuruh nge-apply ke jurusan arsitektur. Which is not his passion.

Dia ended up jadi pelukis jalanan, ngejual lukisan untuk bisa makan. Dia tetap membaca di kala itu. Itu yang membuat otaknya tetap tajam dan bisa melejit di saat perang.

Masalahnya, kenapa Hitler jadi jahat? Sadis?

Menurut ulan itu pasti dipengaruhi juga oleh masa kecilnya. Di masa kecilnya perang sudah ada di mana-mana dan tentunya itu yang membuat dia mempelajari kebencian juga. Peperangan yang menyebabkan kemelaratan. Sama aja kayak anak-anak Indonesia yang diajarin untuk membenci Malaysia. Kayak ngembangin amunisi untuk perang di hari nanti.

Kejahatan itu bukan semata-mata kesalahan suatu individu kok. Masyarakat, sosialisasi primer dalam keluarga, dan pengaruh teman sebaya juga ikut berpengaruh dalam pembentukan suatu pribadi.

Kalau emang Hitler itu jahat, berarti lingkungannya (yang membentuk pribadi dia di masa kecil) juga jahat.

Me, Yesterday

Yesterday (1st of June) i went to Plaza Festival (or Pasar Festival, whatever) with friends from Abang None Buku after our small meeting. We had our lunch there. I waited for Alam to pick me up (he insisted though we were on a fight) and that made me just too sick to only sit there cause my mind was constantly drifting away and my friends found me not included in their circle of conversations. Made me looked alone -..-

It's a hell for me to wait Alam there while i couldn't just explain why i was still there and why i was so quiet. And when we were on the way to that place i saw a book store, a quiet interesting secondhand bookstore and i wanted to have a look before Alam arrives. So i said "bye" to my ABNONKU friends. Not a smooth bye because there was Tracy. Tracy is a None from Jakarta Selatan. She is nice, and she looks like a cartoon character that's why whenever she is there with me i don't talk much, i find myself enjoying watching her, just like watching the cartoon.

So when i said bye, Tracy asked me if the person i was waiting for had arrived and i couldn't lie, i said no but i wanted to go to the toilet first. She said what if he hasn't come after i went to the toilet and i was just like... yeah. I didn't know what to say...

Actually, i'm so sorry, to me, i'm afraid it made a kind of impression like i don't feel comfortable sitting there with them. But i just want to visit the bookstore :O and telling her that is just the same thing i guess, cause it also means i prefer the books to them. Well... and That's when Tracy said don't be too serious and she finally let me go. And i refused to hug her cause it's awkward.

It's always been that way if i think a person is very very look alike with a character of animations i have watched.

And Tracy looks like a character who comes out from Coraline.

Either the coraline or the cat.

Sorry, Tracy -__- for my strange act

And guys, i visited the bookstore and i loved it! i just don't know why. And i bought Dan Brown's Angels and Demons :D

RAPE

Raping lagi, raping lagi. Ulan capek, nggak, lelah ngeliat berita itu. Sakit rasanya, mau nangis. Mau dateng ke kantor polisi, nampar pelakunya, dan teriak sambil mencengkeram lehernya.

"LO GAK BISA MIKIRIN HAL LAIN YANG BISA LO LAKUIN APA?! KENAPA LO HARUS LAKUIN DOSA YANG NGERUGIIN ORANG LAIN?! KENAPA GAK BUNUH DIRI AJA, MONKEEEY?!"

gitu.

Ulan gak ngerti kenapa orang bisa tega ngelakuin hal biadab kayak gitu dan korban anak-anaknya itu semakin banyak aja sekarang. Udah kayak trend. Sial. Kayak remaja yang ikut-ikutan make smartphone ketika teman-temannya banyak yang memakai smartphone. Kayak si rapist itu mikir "Dih yang lain merkosa anak kecil, gue ikutan ah." Sial.

Alasan yang mereka kasih biasanya: Abis nonton film porno

Sial.

Asli ini sial banget.

Emangnya film porno itu kayak film cuci otak yang mempengaruhi pikiran banget, ya?! Masa sampai merkosa?!

UDAH GITU NIH, pemerintah lebih banyak mikirin apa yang bisa dilakukan wanita untuk melindungi dirinya. MEMBATASI GERAK WANITA dengan harus pergi rame-rame lah, ini lah, itu lah, tapi gak ada seruan untuk para pria agar tidak biadab, gak ada!

SEAKAN-AKAN kejadian buruk itu terjadi karena ketidakhati-hatian wanita alih-alih kebiadaban pria.

Sial.

PESAN UNTUK PARA PRIA NIH, YA!

STOP NONTONIN FILM PORNO! KALIAN GAK MAU JADI RAPIST, KAN?!

AND FOR THOSE RAPISTS,

four middle fingers in the air.
