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.

Dear Momma (2.0)

And eventually I'm just a scared little lady. The super sensitive one when people talked about "family bond." I would cry easily on my Momma's lap when we had a deep conversation. She's my hero, my wonderwoman. The one who rescued me in my lowest. The one who protected me whenever I needed her. So, two days ago we had a deep conversation. It was about manner. " Kamu mbok ya jangan ngomong sama Mama kaya gitu.. nanti dosa ," she said when we got started. I was standing beside her while she sat on the sofa. We were talking about the latest movie actually -not the deep conversation, yet-. "Kalo ngomong sama orang tua, apalagi sama Mama, jangan sampe Mama harus mengadah liat kamu... Tatapan mata kita sejajar aja udah salah... " I was like.. . krik. Speechless. " Justru dari dulu k epala Mama lebih rendah daripada kepala Eyangti, lho. Nanti kualat kamu kaya gitu, De... Mama dari dulu mau ingetin kamu tapi lupa terus. Tiap abis shalat, ...

Self Reflection

I haven't wrote anything. But will try to write... again. 4 tahun yang lalu, gue menuliskan tentang masa-masa menjadi maba  (mahasiswa baru) yang baru saja selesai melaksanakan PKKMB. Hari ini, beberapa teman angkatan 2015 sudah melaksanakan wisuda. Gue belum, semoga tahun depan mendapatkan giliran. Aamiin... Btw , entah mengapa pukul segini memang enak untuk menjadi sendu. Bukan sendu dalam konotasi negatif, tetapi cenderung ke arah positif. Tiba-tiba, jadi mengenang apa saja yang terjadi selama 4 tahun belakangan ini. Masa-masa di mana gue melepas seragam putih-abu, dan menggantinya dengan pakaian bebas. Malam ini menjadi sebuah renungan terhadap diri sendiri, atas apa yang telah dicapai, kesalahan, kebahagiaan, pertemanan, dan lain sebagainya. Katanya, kuliah adalah masa terakhir sebelum menghadapi dunia nyata. Katanya, semakin kita dewasa, kita cenderung menjadi realistis... mematikan cita-cita di dalam diri. Mematikan jiwa anak-anak yang ada di dalam hati. ...

Give and Take

What happens to teenager this day? What happens to Indonesian culture about polite, manner, and grace? It's so pathethic that now we rarely see it in our life. Let's take the easiest samples: 1. Menyela pembicaraan orang. 2. Make fun, laugh, yawn, stared hatefully toward the elders (it can be your lecturer or even your parent). 3. Being ignorance, arrogant. 4. This may be the simpliest sample of all... keluar / masuk ruangan tanpa ijin, main kabur,padahal sebenarnya bisa ijin dulu. etc. Some of the examples above are actually based on my observation in actual life. But then the question is: Can we live without polite, manner, and grace? Sekarang coba kalau dibalik. Kita jadi orang yang mendapatkan perlakuan yang tidak sopan. You feel uncomfortable, angry, sad, and insecure, don't you? Is that good? How can we have polite, manner, and grace? Well, I'm kind of person that believe in "Give and Take". Give and take is actually hands that help each oth...

-The Lost Moment-

Alone I walked in To the place I'd ever been Once I was a stranger But then my heart said, "I wonder..." To the place filled with bond Here I was alone There I stucked Then I whispered, "I am wonderstruck" My first glaze Making my heart blazed Wondering why I got hypnotized My first stare Making my stomach a little bizarre Asking why I was so on fire Finally I realized, It was because of you. You, the kind of person that I'd never ever ever forget. You, the kind of person that's making me wonder. You, the kind of person I'd wish never lost the moment with. The new kid fell, To the other new kid once they were

Intermezzo: Naif atau Bodoh?

Andai dunia itu nggak sesulit yang kita rasakan, ya. Dunia itu nggak baik bukan karena 'dunia' itu sendiri kan? Tapi karena manusianya. Dunia menjadi kejam karena ulah mereka yang tidak bertanggung jawab. Orang-orang yang mengenal saya mengatakan jika ada batas tipis antara naif dan bodoh di dalam diri saya. Terlalu lugu untuk melihat ini semua, tetapi sebenarnya bodoh karena tidak mengerti apa-apa. Saya bersyukur, karena saya dikelilingi oleh orang-orang yang melindungi saya agar tetap menjadi diri saya yang sekarang. Maksudnya, seperti bunga lotus yang tidak akan pernah kotor walaupun hidup di kolam berlumpur. Mereka, teman-teman saya, tetap menjaga saya seperti itu. Namun, ada kalanya saya harus sendiri. Pertemanan itu nggak harus selalu bersama-sama, cukup sirat hati yang menyatukan ikatan pertemanan. Nah, ketika saya sendiri itu lah saya merasa... bodoh. Maksudnya, saya sering melakukan kecerobohan. Mungkin, apa karena saya terlalu dilindungi mereka? "Dia itu adala...
