I Believe in 3 Things

I believe in many things. As much as I don't believe in many more things.

I don't believe in life-flashing-before-one's-eyes thing.
I don't believe in seizing the day.
I don't believe in love at first sight.
I don't believe in lovers' true love.
I don't believe in "I think, therefore I am".
I don't believe in "I write, therefore I am eternal".
I don't believe in "You are what you read" or "you are what you whatever".
Cool quotes with playable words don't make them true, or smart, or even worth quoted. Many times they don't mean anything.
Taking chances is overrated.

Today's Desktop: "gak ngapa-ngapain"

Nah, nah. Gini deh browsernya seorang scrapper :)

Malam ini saya ketemu Nuke. Well, dari sore sebetulnya. Tepatnya, ba'da ashar. Ngobrol punya ngobrol, ternyata terakhir kita ketemu adalah dua tahun yang lalu! Beuhh, lama kali! Jadi ketika saling tanya, "Elo apa kabar?" dua-duanya saling bingung mau mulai dari mana. Terlalu panjang cerita dua tahun itu untuk bisa dirangkum dalam beberapa menit penjelasan. Nuke udah bolak-balik melanglang dunia: keliling Amrik dan Jepang, dan entah mana lagi. Saya? Saya ngapain aja ya? Kayaknya gak ngapa-ngapain deh, Ke, selain bikin bumi makin rusuh. Sementara Nuke sangat berbaik sangka bertanya, "Prestasi apa lagi yang elo bikin?" Duileeeh, ini ngeledek apa gimana?

Ada satu hal yang saya lupa bilang sama Nuke. Kayaknya kita sama lagi deh, Ke. Kalo kamu kepingin ngurangin kerjaan supaya punya waktu yang lebih fleksibel, saya akhir-akhir ini nikmatin banget sebuah kegiatan yang namanya "gak ngapa-ngapain". Ngelampruk aja jadi sayuran. Rasanya enak banget. Bosen sibuk kali ya kita, Ke. Akhirnya.

Anyway, seperti sebagian besar post Today's Desktop lainnya, saya cuma mau pamer benda cantik di atas desktop saya :)

Songs, words, colors. In my head, my ears, my eyes.

Across the page, across the ages

the moving hand of history bleeds

for a kinder eye to see us,

not as we are,

but as we dream

(Level 42 - "Kinder Eye")

You'd be surprised

There's so much to be done

Count all the bees in the hive

Chase all the clouds from the sky

(Kenny Loggins - "Return to the Pooh Corner")

Limitation forced you to get creative.

The hidden power inside that you rarely notice to exist.

Daily miracles you took for granted.

~ Riana Ambarsari ~

: Sebuah hari yang riuh rendah

oleh warna

lagu

kata-kata

manakala tak peduli
pada rasa peduli

namun duhai

bahagia sekali

Days of Rarity

Jadi inilah salah dua dari hari-hari yang langka. Di mana saya sempat mengerjakan hal-hal yang saya pikir entah kapan sempat saya lakukan.

Yesterday i got to make homemade candied lemon peel, unexpectedly took photos of it in the afternoon, uploaded and wrote about it on my kitchen blog, hence updating for idul fitri *finally*. At night after a satisfying homemade dinner, I painted flourish and butterfly chipboards, 2 round chipboards I got from Lia Sutra in A Week In The Life's swap and a square one i just bought the other day at Bagus-Bagus.

Morning Poem

let me tell you a story

about one mornin' that lasts a life time

after a long night in the cuddle of a fairy

the dawn breaks right above the windchime

let me read a poem to you

mumbles like Lennon's walrus and the egg man

leaves fell on my feet,
a song ringin' thru my ears

goo goo kajoo

here is one morning I will remember forever

not for its beauty nor broken white sky

but for the lure of a tingling butterfly

{ Pejaten, 23rd day of Ramadhan }
