Tribute for Him

"Losing someone hurts."

I'm not talking about love. Losing your boyfriend / girlfriend isn't THAT hurt, seriously. But when it comes to your family... it hurts. Really truly hurt. My Uncle, Koko Triananto, just passed away on Feb 3rd, and though he was just my "uncle", he was everyhting to us.

He was the one who picked me up everyday when I had extra lessons at NF Palmerah. He was the one that got mad at me when I was so naughty. He was the one who saved me. And... I'm feeling bad because I am probably the most kurang ajar niece that he had. I hadn't do anything that pleased him yet, and I'm really sad to know that I can't do it on the future.

To my Mom, he was the only big brother after Pakde Nono passed away in 2010. Pakde Koko took care of my Mom very well, and so my Mom. Their bond was so strong, they helped each other, loved each other, and never feud.

There were the times when we cried together...

We're still grieving of Pakde Koko.

The first time I felt lost was when Pakde Nono passed away, but now... it hurts me more.

And the worse is, my heart torn in pieces everytime I see Mom crying. Losing him makes Mom pretty fragile these days. She's super sensitive right now, and even makes me worry of her.

We know we shouldn't cry about him...

Please rest in peace our beloved uncle-father-grandpa, Koko Triananto. Please be safe on heaven with Eyangkung, Eyangyut, Pakde Nono, and Ongge. We'll meet soon..

Pancasila, Nasionalisme, dan Eyangkung

Mungkin Eyangkung (Eyang Kakung, Kakek dalam bahasa Jawa) benci disebut-sebut sebagai pahlawan. Tapi, memang kenyataannya begitu. Tidak akan ada Indonesia tanpa Eyangkung dan para pahlawan yang lain. Eyangkung saya bernama Eyang Toegijo Kartosandjojo, beliau lahir di Solo pada 17 Agustus 1919. Eyangkung bersekolah di Neutrale H. I. S Solo dan beliau berprestasi di sekolahnya. Karena prestasi itulah beliau dibebaskan dari les persiapab masuk M. U. L. O. dan pada akhirnya beliau berhasil masuk tanpa melalui tes ujian masuk. Sebagai cucu kesekian, saya sangat bangga mempunyai sosok Eyangkung. Karena beliau, saya selalu bersumpah akan membawa nama baik keluarga. Saya nggak mau menjelekkan nama baik keluarga besar, saya nggak mau dibilang, "cucu pahlawan kok seperti itu?" (Walaupun saya ini memang tergolong bandel sih, cuma bandelnya masih sebatas wajar). Walaupun beliau wafat setahun sebelum saya lahir, banyak cerita yang sudah saya dengar maupun foto-foto beliau yang saya l

The Art of Getting By

Hola! Ini mungkin adalah salah satu film favorit gue. Why? Karena pemerannya Emma Roberts sama Freddie Highmore. They're the best entertainers of all time. I watch this move like over a year ago, but still. I can remember it clearly. George ( Freddie Highmore ) is a fatalistic high school senior who is a gifted artist. George is often haunted by the realization that he will die someday. He ceases to complete his homework, as he feels that everything seems meaningless. As a result, he is put on academic probation. The next day, George goes up to the school roof and sees Sally ( Emma Roberts ) smoking. When a teacher comes up, George quickly pulls out a cigarette and takes the blame. Sally meets up with George to thank him, and though George is at first reluctant to talk to her, he soon warms up to her. On Career Day, George meets a young artist, Dustin and is inspired by his thoughts about life. He brings Sally with him to visit Dustin and it becomes appare

Butterfly, FLY AWAY

What do you see? Is it a butterfly? *** Mungkin menurut orang, binatang ini adalah yang paling cute, unyu, dan lovable banget. Tapi menurut gue..... Kupu-kupu sucks. Gue juga ngga ngerti kenapa gue itu jadi takut-jijik-illfeel gitu sama kupu-kupu. Sepertinya itu menular dari kakak gue juga....... Dulu gue sempet takut sama kupu-kupu. Terus tiba-tiba engga takut lagi gara-gara disuruh coba pegang sayapnya sama Mba Tita. Saat itu gue merasa kaya, "Ih wow, sayapnya alus bangeeettt. Jiplak lagi di tangan." Tapi..... ngga tau kenapa rasa untuk menghindari kupu-kupu kembali meruak ke permukaan. Perasaan itu pun masih terbenam di dalam hati gue. Kalo ada yang nanya
