hahaha, udah lama juga sih ya mbaknya, udah lama lewat ulangtaunnya hahaha, so i thought, yeah, let me just write down my birthday note (2 months from the day), letsgo! first and foremost: Halfway to 70 yo, i think this year is the most life-altering by far. Terimakasih Allah atas segala berkah. Life-altering by far At the end of 2016, i did say it was the most life-altering by far. Ternyata Allah sayang luar biasa, sama gue & keluarga gue. This is INDEED the most life-altering. So many things changing, so many adjustment in various magnitude and size. But then here we are, looking at the sunset of 2017. Standing stronger. Happiness is self made, it always is i'm a firm believer of a self-made happy bubble. if you ever feel so unhappy, do check your own self, is it you? or is there's one person that's so annoying you wanna kick em? or is it your envy to other people? whatever it is, gue percaya bahwa: kita tuh gak bisa atur atur orang lain. kalo pingin...

last monday was actually the best time to shout: happy birthday kinan! hahaha, tapi apa daya... meeting held me up all day, i've planned everything, so we can have a candle blowing moment, a 10 minutes show i could steal for my family, dimana? di kampus. right before the class started. with the birthday girl, with 4 of us singing happy birthday. with all the things running that day, that's my best offer. deep in my heart, sedih ya. anaknya ulangtaun, i didn't even have the chance to buy her a cake. tsk. BUT, kita emang udah commit untuk gak terlalu membesar-besarkan ulang tahun, in the sense that no regular parties, or goodie bags, or else. i tried not to feel terlalu gimana gimana, knowing i didn't prepare any cake. at the end, erw asked me to skipped class, just to hung around at home. oh i swear it was so relaxing!!! just to watch my two kids giggling around before bed. just as me and erw arrived at mom's, we set the candle, sing the happy bir...

kalo pada punya sahabat, perhatiin deh, pasti ada kesaamaan antara anyer dan jakarta kita dan dia. most of my besfriends, are the first born, have 2 other siblings max, sama sama suka nonton film, sama sama suka ngopi, sama sama suka nyinyir, sama sama suka kefo, suka belanja, suka window shopping, suka makan enak, pasti banyak samanya, makanya jadi sohiban ya... of all my bestfriends, i've drawn a redline, kesamaan-kesamaan yang bikin kita tambah lengket. this post is about the worst kind of bestfriend that i have. dia ini sedikit banget kesamaannya sama gue. dari jenis film ajaya, dia suka banget anime & zombi, gue engga. gue suka komedi romantis, dia males. dia suka lord of the ring, gue ogah. On other thing, he loves kaos buntung bir bintang. Gue gelikkk ama kaos inih hahaha. kayanya sih kalo digambar red line, hasilnya akan tifisss. dia nih, neat freak. gue pun kadang kumat neat freak nya. but this person, jauh diatas gue kadarnya. ruarrr biasa freak ny...

my sister. she hit 24 yesterday, and was worried if she caught the symptom of quarter life crisis. when she blabs and yapps about the crisis, i actually didn't know what to say. other than to convinced her that she's doing fine with her life, because my life was a lot miserable when i was 24. my whole world was my career, love stories came once in a blue moon. yet flings came and go. at first, of course it was exciting. but later on, it was boring & tiring. i decided that i need a man of my own, but no one was there. career became dull, days went in meaningless circle, it was a blah time of my life. looking at the greener lawn of someone else's life, in this case, the birthday girl's. of course i was green of envy. firstly: she's happily married. has 2 arms to come home to. living abroad just like i always dreamed about. yes she gave up her career in jakarta, but so what? doesn't finding a career always been easier than finding a guy to be ma...

DUWENGGG... mamahhh, aylapyuuu *n...
