Sixteen going on Seventeen. Legal Day.

Who knows The Sound Of Music?
The best movie ever that starring Jullie Andrews.

Btw, there's one song that really into me right now which called 'Sixteen Going On Seventeen'.

You are sixteen going on seventeen
Nanana (ga inget)
I am seventeen going on eighteen
And I'll take care of you

I am sixteen going on seventeen
I know I'm naive
Fellows I meet
May tell me I'm sweet
And I'll willingly believe

Gue nggak inget liriknya, tapi lirik ini yangnyentuhhh.
Romantic yet catchy, a trully seventeen year old-ish.

Me, as a sixteen year old girl, feels exactly the same as the song. Well as we know, I'm turning 17 on December!!! Yippie!

I know it's still 5 months away but I CANNOT WAIT FOR IT. I've prepared some plans for my seventeen!

I think, being seventeen isn't about releasing your childhood with a big party. Being seventeen means that you're already an adult. You're legal now and you hold lots of responsible. You have to be mature, think what's the best for the future.

I'm a little bit confused with the fabulous, glamour, Mparty that some of my friend did when they hit 17. I mean, wh.y are you spending your money for a night? For just a party? It's not worth it. You don't do anything for your living! You used your parent's money for your living.  I mean, being 17 doesn't mean that you already prepare to face the world. It's just the beginning. We just stepped out of the cage. Dengan menghabiskan uang orang tua kalian hanya untuk pesta, nggak menjanjikan untuk menjadikan kalian srbagai orang ysng sukses. Lebih baik kita pke uanh itu untuk tabungan pendidikan, kalau udah sukses, baru bikin pesta gede dari uang sendiri :p

Maybe you'll think that, "Gue udah bisa menghasilkan uang sendiri kok".



But...
Isn't it great when you used your money for kindness?

Diluar sana masih banyak yang ngga seberuntung kita. Masih banyak pemuda Indonesia, khususnya daerah pinggiran yang pedidikannya jauh dari kata layak.

You what's my dream?
I dream of...
When I hit 17, I'll celebrate it with the lest fortunate kids. Maybe sama anak-anak yatim piatu, atau gue bisa ngerayainnya dengan menjadi guru buat anak jalanan ibukota yang mungkin nggak pernah rasain bangku sekolah.

Tau kenapa gue nulis kaya gini?
Anggaplah gue terlalu puitis, bahasanya berat, atau sok dibilang baik.. Ahh whatever. Cuma mencurahkan pikiran gue haha.

For me, 17 is just our first step to face the world and we shouldn't spending our money for a party while for the others, masih susah untuk sekolah.

Catching Up!

It's 2022 now. This blog somehow becomes the witness of my growth. I started this blog back in 2012, thus.. I'm already on blogger for 10 years. This blog lasts longer than my relationship, ever! 10 years have passed.. I was 15 yo, and now I'll be turning 25 this December. what do I do now? Am I the same old Nita? Am I better? Do I become stranger to some people? The answer is.... My life gets boring, if you ask. I'm living a typical adult life; working, working, working, working, and working. Oh, almost forget. I also become a mother of one, a daughter named Hagia. So, it's like balancing life among working, be a mother, socializing, and most of the time.. resting. I become more quite than I was in college or freshgrad days. I become anti-social. I enjoy being alone instead of get trap around people. I enjoy drinking my matcha-latte, while reading book.. or just simply scrolling through my Instagram or TikTok. I enjoy to have exercise once in awhile. I enjoy my bus...

Life Update from a 26 yo Woman

Sudah beberapa tahun terakhir ini aku tidak bisa menulis ataupun melukis apapun. Hidupku terasa datar, tidak ada hal lagi yang membuatku merasa senang (kecuali kehadiran anakku, Hagia). Tidak ada hal lagi yang bisa menginspirasi aku. Entah sudah sebanyak apa aku membeli peralatan lukis, buku catatan lucu yang banyak, namun tetap semuanya hanya berupa lembaran kosong hingga hari ini. Sampai semalam, aku kembali mencoba membaca seluruh postingan di blog ini, dimulai dari tulisan pertamaku di tahun 2012. Ternyata, ada begitu banyak kenangan manis, sedih, marah, kecewa yang aku tuliskan di dalam sini. Aku tumbuh dan berkembang di dalam blog ini, beberapa cerita kehidupan remajaku ada di dalam sini. Sebagai orang yang mudah melupakan kenangan-kenangan yang ada, membaca tulisanku sendiri membuatku merasa.... kembali hidup. Entah berapa banyak aku jatuh cinta, sakit hati, jatuh cinta, sakit hati, jatuh cinta lagi, dengan pria yang berbeda Orang-orang di dalam hidupku tidak begitu bertambah ba...

Proud Indonesian

Hi! It's been a while since I open this blog. Banyak banget yang harus diceritain selama ini. Dari mulai Mba Andes yang hamil dan bulan Agustus ini diprediksi melahirkan (phew, I'm gonna be Aunt again!), gue yang udah lulus SMA, berkah-berkah yang diperoleh selama bulan Ramadhan, dan cerita tentang teman-teman gue. First I'm gonna write about: RAMADHAN 2015. Why? It's actually my opinion about living in Bendungan Hilir (Benhil). As you know, Benhil is the most popular place to go while Ramadhan. Di pasarnya udah terkenal dengan jajanan-jajanan (ta'jil) untuk berbuka. Orang-orang mulai berlalu lalang sekitar pukul 4 sore, melihat-lihat apa yang dijajakan, dan akhirnya berhenti di satu pedagang. Ini adalah pemandangan normal yang gue lihat selama tujuh belas tahun gue tinggal di sini. Tapi... rasanya gue baru benar-benar melihat 'situasi' bulan ini, ya, pas tahun ini. Kenapa? Pengemis adalah hal tidak asing yang dilihat kalau kalian melihat jajanan di p...

Less the Same but, Stay...

As I said before we are less the same. And destiny is something we can't blame. As we live in two different poles. It seems pretty far for us to get close. As the earth rotates slowly, You're getting closer to me. As we may united, Probably I'll make our own ballad. But... Can't you see that we live differently? Oh, You... Me... How many probabilities that we have? How can we complete and salve? You're a beautiful creature. That make me crazier. I may fall deep in those sad eyes. Too deep as if I'm drowning in magis. Almost a year I'm drowning. But weird.. I'm not even dying. I enjoy it though it hurts. Maybe I'm one of those experts... That will stay though invisible. ***

The Fangirling Moment When They Talk About F1

I'd never talk about this though I should!! So I've watched F1 since in the 9th grade, and I only knew about Sebastian Vettel back then. My chairmate, Salsa, has a HUGE crush on him so I was her victim everytime she was fangirling. Like it or not, I listened to those craps. Then... I was feeling "What's so good with Vettel" and I started to watch F1. At the moment, BOOM, HE IS GOOD. I was starting to be his fan back then. Up until now, I'm still his fans and now I know some of racers which is COOL! Salsa may loves Vettel to death, but I ship Hamilton more than Vettel. Lol. But seriously, Hamilton is really cute! He's a total pro! He was the 1st racer ever that won in such young age (before Vettel broke his record). But... Hamilton is always be my... imaginary brother? Hamilton looks like he's a rapper instead of racer, though. He has this swag that makes him more adorable and cute. Then then then, I've heard about Rio Haryanto joins F1 for Ma...
