Jakarta - Semarang is not THAT far, Dev!

Jakarta, Juli 2016.
Dear Om,

First of all I want to say Happy 45th Birthday to you, the Father of my beloved friend... Devina! I wish nothing but the best for you, Sir. May Allah gives you a healthy life with His joys and blessings. I know we haven't got a chance to meet in person, yet, but I've heard a lot about you while Devina and I were still in high school. Don't worry, Devina told me about your kindness, though.

Second, as we may in the spirit of holy month, I will say happy ied mubarak 1437 H to you, sir! May Allah forgives all of our sins and gives us His blessings. Let's keep the spirit until next ramadhan, and hopefully we'll meet next year.

Your daughter, Devina, is a wonderful young lady. She's one of my favorite during the high school. I've seen her laugh, cry, angry, and most of it... She was busy being her self, a true freaking (imaginary) Mrs. Bieber. You're lucky to have her as your daughter because you would never get a young lady like her for the second time, right?


Entah sudah berapa kali saya menulis tentangnya di blog ini, tetapi Devina adalah sosok yang mampu menginspirasi saya (termasuk gurauan kami yang terkadang nyeleneh dan terlalu bermimpi). Devina and I have a lot of similarities such as... We're too passionate to reach our dreams, she wants to be Selena Gomez and I want to be Audrey Hepburn. Both of us adore Dian Sastro, Chelsea Islan, and Maudy Ayunda since we were still using putih-abu uniform. I think... Up until now, both of us still determine to be a UNICEF or UN ambassador (am I right, Dev?)

Many people laughs at our dreams, but we hold on to this...

Devina really misses you, Om, apalagi sekarang dia kuliah di Semarang. She misses watching soccer with you, I think she's really really Daddy's little girl ya, Om? She said you were the one who taught her about the offside rule, am I right? On your special day, she asked me to write something special for you because she's too shy to say it directly to you. Well I hope, she will be in teary eyes for reading this.

As her friend, who being left by her and who also lives in Jakarta, I'm missing her as much as you do, sir! Of course we had plans to meet up, but eventually it never happened. But still, though we never meet since like almost a year, she's still my beloved unforgettable friend.

Well let's say Jakarta - Semarang is not as far as we know! It's much better than Jakarta - China, right? Argh, too many LDR-an with my high school friends and it sucks! (This is how I cheer my self when I'm missing my high school friends. Unfortunately, there is one friend who's in Germany now and I'm missing her freaking bad.)


*Ps to Devina: when will you come to Jakarta? Let me finisih my test first so we can meet up and ngehitz together, okay!? I miss being 'oh so whatever' with you! I miss going to windowshop with you! Errr..... btw, Can you (in any chance) bring me wingko babat, Dev? It's my favorite, gosh, I'm already imagining to eat it while I write this post. :(

And also, please let's hope that my Momma will allow me to traveling to Semarang all by my self, ya.. you must be in Semarang when the time is right (or at least we'll go from Jakarta together) so we can stay in your kosan, perhaps? (Semakin hemat semakin oke, lol). Then, we should go to Lawang Sewu, ya, because I'd never go there and curious enough to go. Hehehe.

See, terlalu niat bikin ini.. sampe bongkar gallery cari foto kita. Maaf yang di hp cuma beberapa, sisanya di pc semua and I'm too lazy to open it jam segini. Xoxo.

Sincerly yours,
Nita Indra S.

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 TK, 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 lihat.  Dari yan...

AFS Frequently Asked.

Where and when can I apply? Every student who is in 10th grade during the application period can apply for the departure in the following year. You apply by using our online application system. What and how much should I write about me in the application? You will provide the most accurate information about yourself.

Sampul Buku dan Lembarannya

Boleh nggak saya memohon satu hal? Cukup sederhana. Kebanyakan dari kalian hanya memandang sampul sebuah buku. Jika sampul itu berupa kulit, kalian akan langsung mengambilnya. Kalau buku itu hanyalah buku usang, entah siapa yang akan mengambilnya. Disini bukan tentang menilai buku dari sampulnya. Tapi tentang siapa yang akan mengambil buku itu. Munafik memang, kalau kita mengaku tidak melihat orang dari penampilan. Tapi entah kenapa saya letih dengan semua itu. Letih dengan tipuan paling sederhana. Saya ingin kalian tetap menatap saya dalam keadaan terburuk, terjelek. Bukan dalam keadaan sebaliknya. Apa terkesan saya sombong? Tidak, bukan itu maksudnya. Saya hanya ingin kalian membuka buku itu setelah melihat sampulnya. Saya bukan buku bersampul kulit. Saya hanya buku biasa. Lembarannya putih, polos, tanpa coretan. Saya butuh kalian yang dapat mengisi lembaran-lembaran ini, bukan hanya menggeletakkan buku ini ke lemari hingga usang.

A Battle Throughout The Years

I met him somewhere in the last few months in 2019. He has a cute smile, taller than me, long straight hair, with tattoos on his hand. He was different from my ideal man. I thought he loved me, but I realize now, it was actually a love bombing. I learned to love him each year, but I realize now, I was only fooling myself and keep on pretending. -2019- December. It was my birth month, but instead of getting me a surprise, he yelled at me and cursed me. I cried. I told him, "this is my first time in my birthday that I cry. You made me cry in my birthday. You didn't give me present, you didn't congratulate me. You made me cry. Men congratulated me, gave me presents, and flowers. You brought me tears." Then, there was another time when he actually mad at me because I couldn't come to his house after office hour. I was so tired, I needed to commute with train and ojek to got to my office. I said sorry to him, but, he cursed me again. I called my cousin who stayed in Ba...

(Sedikit) Curhat

Alhamdulillah, 2017 is soon to be over! Rasanya bersyukur dan senang banget ternyata mayoritas Resolusi 2017 yang ditulis di akhir tahun 2016 kemarin sudah jadi kenyataan. Kehidupan perkuliahan itu sulit, serius. Apapun jurusan kamu, semua ada ups and downs nya. Gue yang sudah hampir menjadi mahasiswa angkatan tua, ngerasain banget jenuh-jenuhnya. Kasarnya, kalau bisa nikah sama pengusaha kaya raya mending langsung nikah, deh. Tapi... hidup itu nggak sepenuhnya kaya drama Korea. Let it flow, nikmati saja arusnya. Gue yang sekarang di semester 5, semakin mendengar desas-desus tentang diri gue sendiri di kampus. "Cuma modal muka", "dia nggak pinter, cuma dia deketin dosen biar nilai bagus", "gue gasuka sama Nita", dan tetek-bengek lainnya. Normal, namanya hidup itu penuh pro dan kontra. Sebenarnya gue sudah mendengar ini sejak gue di semester 1, sih, tapi makin ke sini semakin kelihatan siapa saja orang-orangnya. Bahkan, beberapa orang sudah membuat gue k...
