One last read to commemorate

I have a bad habit.
Cross that. I have bad habits, regarding about reading.

First, I read the beginning (of a story, and usually a romance story) and get agitated after a few paragraphs. Then, I will jump to conclusions, and read randomly just to satisfy my conclusions.

Second, I read only fanfics *sighed* with quite an “interesting” choice of romance pairings *double sighs*

Well, nothing is wrong with having quite a “troublesome” choice of pairing. But, it will become a bad thing when I limit my readings to fanfics. Especially with my picky-for-fluffy-scene habit.

Other problems came when I started to feel I have not enough time to read (or satisfying this bad habit of mine) and started to neglect my primary priority, which is my family.

With Andri and Shosty that I have to take care about, hygiene of the house, effectiveness in our plans and schedule, my role of making sure that our plans go on the right tracks, practicing piano and cello, upgrading my teaching skill, upgrading our communication skill, etc etc (there are so many on the list) I practically have no time to read fanfics.

When I force myself to read, I become lazy to do other things. And since this hobby of searching-the-fluffy-scene is really time-consuming, I began to neglect my surroundings. And I know this is a start for something bad.


Oh well… let’s say goodbye for this bad habit of reading fanfics (and scanning chapters, looking for smut) and actually find other ways to spend your precious (and scarce) time for yourself.

Dan, gw menghadiahi diri gw 2 hal untuk hal ini:
1. Fic terakhir untuk dibaca. Titled “Trials of Life.” Pairing tezuryo yang sukses bikin cekikikan.
2. A license to actually read some fanfics that I’ve been following recently. Tapi cuma boleh liat dari notice di imel, ga boleh scanning ke websitenya lagi.

Huff…

Things, kalo ingin gaya

Blakangan beberapa orang yang deket dengan gw lagi membicarakan soal barang-barang yang klo lu tenteng akan membuat elu terlihat lebih "high-level." Lalu, jadilah kami mulai memikirkan barang2 yang bisa bikin naek level... leveeeel uuuup!!!

Muncul ide beli iphone, ganti mobil, beli rumah, nambah pernak-pernik gadget, naikin level baju, de el el, de es be. Yah, klo mo diomongin ama dipikirin doang mah ga ada abisnya... adaaaaaa aja yang muncul dari satu barang ke barang laen. Pas cuman baju ama paling mentok iphone, pala masih seger buat puter otak soal gimana dapetin duit buat bayar dp and cicilan. Begitu mulai masuk mobil ama rumah, gw mendingan ga mikir dah... (--!)

Lalu, sembari browsing2 tadi, gw jadi ingat, gw punya bbrp gadget yang lumayan "ngangkat" lho... paling enggak, gw tau ada beberapa orang yang bangga karena mereka punya itu :P

1. Mac book. yang tipe apa ya? Lupa gw... tapi intinya gw punya mac book. Lumayan dong buat ditenteng2
2. Might mouse wireless. Keren juga kan klo lu ngopi di starbucks sambil bawa mac book dan ngatur2 mac book itu pake mouse dari jarak jauh
3. Cello! walau bukan gadget, tapi ini barang mahal juga kaaaan. Setidaknya orang2 yang gw kasi tau klo gw punya cello akan merespon: "wiiii, asik punya cello"

Baru nemu itu aja. They don't cease my temptation to buy iphone actually (walau gw seriously takut gw hanya impulsive over this). But really, I also come to think that... most people are busy thinking about what other people may think about themselves, rather than spending their time hovering over what other people have.

Kalau pun mereka sempet ngeliat elu dan memberi komentar yang seakan mengangkat lu (sesaat), apa juga ya artinya buat mereka? Does it give them inspiration? Ato bikin mereka iri trus kepengen kaya kita juga? Ato mereka ngebanding2in diri ama kita? Ato apalah...

Dan sebenernya, apapun yang terjadi dalam pikiran orang itu, kita ga akan tau sampe tu orang kasi tau kita kan? Jadi pointnya apa ya?

They're coming near!

I've been in love with this two guys ever since the first time I saw their videos on Youtube. Hilarious humor, brilliant technique and wonderful creativity cooked all together in such a charming performance!

This is one of their famous videos yang bikin gw merasa termotivasi untuk take up challenges in life dan terus berusaha yang terbaik.



Dan mereka lagi world tour ke deket2 indo! >.< mau liat!!!

Spending money project! :))

A few projects awaiting:

1.) buy a standing mirror. Seriously wanna have one in my bedroom. It'll help me dress up faster and easier. I do think I can't completely start my style experiment without having a mirror inside my bedroom first.
2.) buy a camera! Sony deh. Will soon go traveling. And a good camera might help me save the look of my style experiment later on...
3.) baru deh build the wardrobe basic lagi...

Nanti juga akan sampai...

You are what you think

I started this day looking for a good quote to cherish my day, then I stumbled upon this wonderful words:
You create thoughts, and everything in life begins with the quality of your thinking.
Ini menambah keyakinan gw akan quote2 yang sudah lama gw dengar (yg sering kali jadi terasa klise) "You are what you think" dan satu pesan dari seorang pemuka agama "hati2 dengan apa yang kau renungkan."

Indeed, mind is something SO POWERFUL that we actually have to be really careful with it. Sangat ga bijaksana untuk mengisi pikiran kita dengan segala hal negatif, alih2 berusaha mengembangkan pikiran yang berkualitas.

Akhir kata, gw meng-quote kata2 one of my inspiring friends. "Think before you think."

Second lesson with new teacher

Second lesson. The target has been set. Hari2 penuh perjuangan akan segera dimulai kembali.

Ehm... here's the program. Berceuse sedang dalam proses dihapal, dan dalam 1 bulan etude 25/12 (yes, he gave me this number, despite my older teacher's refusal before) dan 10/5 (back to this black keys...) harus udah kelar. Thank you very much!

Scherzo, sembari jalan bersama etude, akan dipilih antara no 2 ato 3. Kata beliau, "not no. 4 yet." hahahaha

Jadi, persiapan Chopin comp dimulai. jeng jeng jeng...

First lesson with a new teacher

A bit late, but I just had my first lesson with my new piano teacher, Mr. Levi Gunardi. And, kesan-kesan setelahnya: "two thumbs up!" and "I'm having fun!" And then,, just in time to add the spice, I got the news that Fariz (my little dearly "brother" at campus, and also a front line member of Mr. Mario's autism studio) has been transfered to the same teacher.

Currently TRYING to study Chopin etude 10/11 and 25/3, moga-moga berhasil :P

And, lagi baca Brisingr (I know it's a bit late, but blame my overly full daily schedule). Tiap kali baca ginian, gw selalu pengen punya naga!



Saphira...
Isn't she a total beauty?

Hidup seimbang dan fleksibel dalam mengambil tindakan

Yak, sesuai judul, itulah yang akan gw coba lakukan. Setelah beberapa saat yang penuh ketegangan mental, gw sudah merasa lebih sehat :D masih ada sisa2 yang akan dibereskan seiring dengan berjalannya waktu, tapi harusnya udah enggak sesulit sebelumnya (namanya juga udah tinggal sisa). Gw makin bersyukur dengan kehidupan gw saat ini, dengan adanya orang yang spesial di samping gw, temen2 yang care dan keluarga yang tetep ada when I need a place to call home. Lebih2, gw bersyukur udah bisa menjadi diri gw sendiri lagi :)

Sedikit random facts, gw blajar rachmaninoff prelude C# minor yang terkenal itu lhoooooo... hasil keisengan karena baru aja beli buku rachmaninoff :D I love his music!!!!
