Lirik Becak Solo

Becak Becak Solo mlakune alon prasojo  Sing nyopir sopan santun toto kromo  Genjotane katek mantep ora ngersulo  Tumpakane ora nyuoro menake roso  Becak Solo rino wengi datan kembo  Wira wiri golek penumpang koyo upo  Ora ninggalke peraturan sing wis ono  Becak Solo nyoto tan gawe kuciwo  E, Pak Becak kulo mang terke teng bunderan  Bunderane wonten sisih pundi den ayu?  Niku ketok melok melok bunderane  Niko ngonten bunderan Banjarsari  E, Pak Becak kulo numpak bola – bali  Ndiko purun kulo bayar kalih niki?  Purun mawon angger kulo mboten rugi  Nyopir becak rino wengi pados rejeki  See my previous post about “Becak Solo” here . “Becak” is one form of traditional transportation in Indonesia.

Happy Birthday!!!

Epilogue ♥ I’m not a birthday person –not any other celebration day person too. But I love spelling my own birthday date, I don’t know for what reason. It sounds beautiful in my ear when someone says ‘2nd November’ –well, it’s my birthday anyway. I didn’t have any special celebration or doing something different on my birthday, I treat it just like another day in my life.  But I think it’s really nice to hear people say “happy birthday” to me and wishing me well or even get a special gift from someone –but that’s never my priority. So sometimes I like to say happy birthday and wishing them well when one of my friend or family celebrating birthday. In a rare occasion, when I have a spare time and some ideas, I can make this kind of happy birthday greeting for my friend . Few days ago I started to think like this : “What kind of gift I could give to myself in my birthday?”. Most people will pampering themselves, maybe go to spa, beauty salon or have a day-off. Some...

little project (1)

My Story with PMS Salah seorang teman saya mengatakan bahwa saya adalah orang yang plin plan dan moody-an ketika ditanya hal apa yang paling berkesan tentang saya. Well , saya tidak sepenuhnya seperti itu ( cross my finger ) tetapi memang ada “periode” ketika saya mengalami severe   mood swing  dan menjadi sangat plin plan alias membingungkan –jangankan dia, saya sendiri juga bingung :D. Selain terkena mood swing , biasanya juga dibarengi dengan perasaan over sensitive , mudah murung serta perasaan – perasaan gloomy lainnya.  Awalnya saya tidak begitu menyadari perubahaan mood drastis yang saya alami. Saya menganggap bahwa hal tersebut adalah part of being a human . Kadang kita bersemangat, kadang kita lelah. You know life is never flat. But thanks to my diary , beberapa waktu yang lalu saya menyadari bahwa di hari – hari menjelang jadwal datang bulan (menstruasi), saya menyadari bahwa terkadang mood swing  saya bisa sangat tidak terkontrol. Misalnya, ...

Desi Anwar

A Simple Life I found this book on June 2015 in a bookstore and instantly fell in love with it at the first sight. I’m so excited to know that this book is written in English -with affordable price, compared to imported books. A Simple Life is a book written by my favorite journalist, news anchor and presenter, Desi Anwar and published by Gramedia Pustaka Utama. This book contains 53 parts about Desi’s thoughts, perspective and opinion about living a simple yet meaningful life.

My favorite part of this book is “The Perpetual Learner” which is about her father’s will to continue to learn even on his sixti...

Why Keeping a Daily Journal is Good for You

Keeping Up With Yourself I enjoyed writing since I was a kid but I don’t remember exactly what was my reason to start writing daily journal. As long as I remember, I’ve been writing a daily journal (I called it “diary”) since I was in elementary school. I keep writing until junior high school but didn’t write regularly. Unfortunately I didn’t keep those diary books –I’m dying to read what I wrote back then, it must be “pretty hilarious”. My senior high school and college days were full of school activities, school assignments and others, so later I started to forget about my daily journal. 

#beauty-ness

what is beauty? I know I’m not born with natural-thick-black-and-beautiful hair. As long as I remember most about my hair was that it is so thin and not really shiny. My hair is neither straight nor curly -maybe wavy but not so wavy. And, I know I can’t blame this to my mother after all, but most of my school days were full of lousy hair style. But that was the old story about my hair. Lately, I’ve found something that more interesting to look at my “ordinary” hair. At least, I have hair. And it’s so smooth, healthy and looks good. Especially after shampooing. After I wash it, clean it and dry it. It feels like with that fresh hair suddenly my face looks brighter, my body looks slimmer and my outfit feels cuter. I often categorized a beautiful and good looking woman is when they have a beautiful and well-maintained hair -and also have fair skin, sharp nose, beautiful eyes and eyelashes, slim and wearing a nice dress :D. But still this hair part is so important. Oh! Maybe my d...

Apolog(ie) part I

un-meaningful I'm fear of being not meaningful to one's life who's been so meaningful to me. Even though I know how it feels to be finally okay with so not meaningful to one's life -and literally don't care with that. But still, the early phase of realizing that you might lose someone and become irrelevant to his life is scary. It's still scary even though I know that it's more important to cultivate and embrace lessons that one's gave to you than wondering what kind of "life-changing" experience you gave to someone else. Sometimes, I want to tell my scary self, "Trust me. It's okay to be irrelevant to one's life -or I might say to "feel" irrelevant". Because the truth is, you are a part of puzzle to someone's life, no matter how small. Their life wouldn't be complete without you, regardless if they know it, feel it -or not at all. The same goes for your life. Your life wouldn't be complete without eve...

Eat, Pray, Love

Addictive Reading Yes. I'm addicted to this book of Elizabeth Gilbert . I really want to write a review about this book, but I ended up writing some of my favorite quotes here. I recommend to read this book directly. It helps me to understand that we're only human -craving for love, joy, comfort and fulfillment. We're only human that sometimes we're feeling stuck and clueless and hopeless about our own life -when actually everything seems right. As a human, we're end up wanting to be happy, satisfied and full of love. And for me, I really want to let go all of the things that no longer serving me and true for me. Eat.Pray.Love.

#DearMe

to 15-years-old me, Hi cutie! This is the 23-years-old-you writing specially just for you. You know, maybe you don't have cute shoes and cute socks. You also think that you're not beautiful, you have a dark skin and boys simply have no interest toward you. Maybe sometimes you felt ashamed of yourself or your family. You often think that some people didn't like you or hate you and act like you're invisible. That's okay dear.. you're not alone. I would love to say that all of those things are only your thoughts. You are the one who makes those thoughts become 'reality'. It's okay to be different, dear.. Without cute shoes and socks, you're still an amazing child. You're a cheerful kid, you have beautiful eyes and you're pretty smart. It's really okay to have darker skin. Your so-called dark skin won't hide your true shine. It's okay that some boys have no interest on you. You'll see who is worth waiting. It's ok...

June 2015 (2)

So, I Love You. Go. I used to think that someone I love (in terms of loving relationship), must give at least the same affection I gave to him –bigger much better. It’s fortunate that my-first–grown up loving relationship were with someone that has good skill of expressing care and affection. I’m feeling really blessed because he loved and cared for me so much. So this used-to-be-thought was stick with me for many years. Even though it was long-distance relationship (I just met him twice during our dating time), I gained many experiences –mostly exciting experiences. Not mention that we didn’t face challenges, we did. But, what I remember most were sweet memories I’ve spent with him.  The worst then came when our loving relationship was nearly end. I realized that it requires a lot of efforts and commitment when you want to build a strong and long-lasting relationship (end up being married and live happily ever after). Short story, I broke up with him and instantly star...

Unconditional Love ♥ What is unconditional love literally means? Is it when you really didn’t expect anything in return when you love someone? When I think about it, even to the closest family member I doubt that I can apply this kind of love. So what is it? I think it’s really normal for human to love and to be loved. So when you love someone, you want to be loved back –and when you’re not, you feel disappointed. So what is it? What is unconditional love is all about? Is it when you don’t mind loving someone who don’t even bother your existence? Is it when you really didn’t care when someone you love just never give back anything to you? It’s true, we all wanted to be happy. It’s true, we feel happy too when seeing someone we love is happy. But, how come you still feel deeply happy when they just didn’t even think of you or remembering you? Is it unconditional love, or is it sacrificing your own desire to be loved?
