That Fangirling Moment When They Talk About F1 (3.0) - ADULT VERSION

 I rarely talk about F1 here, but here are the updates:

1. Sebastian Vettel is retired and now he LOVES to ride bike. Model sepedahan yang tracknya ekstrem, bukan sepedahan keliling kompleks yang santai dan berlanjut ngopi.

2. Daniel Ricciardo is also retired and he sells wine now, lol. OH HOW MUCH I MISS HIM ON THE TRACK, humornya yang receh membuat F1 less drama. Dulu pas masih ada Ric, seru banget karena dia selalu ngelucu (bahkan di saat dia ga mencoba untuk jadi lucu).

3. Max Verstappen is a DAD now! He's a step dad to Penelope, too, so basically he is a dad of 2 daughters now. Thanks God that he has DAUGHTER instead of son, karena, kebayang kan kalau dia membentuk Max Verstappen versi 2.0 dari kecil (just like his father, Jos Verstappen, did to him). Jadi keinget, how I grow up with Max Verstappen juga. Kami kan seumuran, dulu dia masih rookie driver dengan segala potensi. Terus sekarang liat dia udah punya anak, akupun udah dewasa dan punya anak juga. Cepat banget waktu berlaluuuu.

Terus, Max Verstappen memang masternya racing di track yang basah & slippery (karena bapaknya memang melatih dia sekeras itu, once he practiced to ride on an ice). Salah satunya yng paling buat berkesan tuh pas Sao Paulo GP 2024. Udah sekarang aturan FIA itu ribet bangettt, politiknya juga terasa nggak sehat lagi. Di race ini, Max dapat penalty dari FIA yang menyebabkan dia harus mulai dari P17. The "simply lovely" is he, lah dia meluncur dong dari P17 ke P1 di track yang kondisinya hujan lebat dan jalanan licin. Semuanya lihat kemampuan asli Max di sini, karena kalau hujan dan licin, teknologi mobil udah nggak ada gunanya. Murni hanya kemampuan drivernya aja. KAYA, MERINDING BANGET GILA.

Terus, somehow, aku suka banget rivalry antara Charles Leclerc sama Max Verstappen. Mereka udah kenal dari kecil, udah terbiasa ikut race bareng, jadi kaya liat... mereka ngerti gaya main satu sama lain. Gemes gitu liatnya. Semoga pertemanan mereka akan tetap sehat, nggak kaya hubungan pertemanan Lewis Hamilton dan Nico Rosberg yang udah kandas.

Kalo Vettel terkenal karena gaya mainnya yang halus dan tactical, aku juga suka modelan Verstappen yang agresif banget. Beda vibes, tapi sama-sama bikin deg-degan tiap nontonnya. Yang bikin gregetan lagi, mobil Red Bull itu jelek parahhhh. Punggung Max berat banget, nge-gendong Red Bull :')

4. Lewis Hamilton wears red. You read it right, aku masih belum terbiasa melihat Lewis di Ferrari :') dan nggak tau kenapa, sejak pindah ke sini, aku liatnya biasa aja. Udah identik banget sama Mercedes, jadi pas main di sini.... well, idk how to describe.

5. McLaren mendominasi race karena mobilnya bagus :):):) tapi, based on attitude, how I wish Oscar Piastri could be WDC this season instead of Lando. Oscar Piastri itu menurutku juga tactical, tipikal orang yang lebih banyak mengamati dulu sebelum bertindak, dan attitude nya juga ganteng (no negative vibes). Tapi, aku berharap banget Max bisa WDC lagi, walaupun sulit karena memang mobilnya jelek.

6. Kimi Antonelli, rookie driver si paling gen-Z yang masih SMA dan pernah ngundang temen sekelasnya buat nonton race. HAHAHAHA lucu banget ini anak. Plus, minta engineers untuk kerjain PR-nya dia.

7. George Russel, si paling sassy. Karena FIA menyebalkan banget, even he initiates bikin persaturan pebalap F1 yang isinya protes dan memperjuangkan hak-hak pebalap. Salah satu aturan FIA yang nonsense, driver dilarang memaki lewat radio. :')

8. Charles Leclerc si pebalap jagoan tapi kalo nyetir mobil biasa, hobinya nabrak mulu. LOL. I always believe kalo dia retired, his face card could make him survive as a model. I become a tifosi because of him (+ Sebastian Vettel juga sih), karena memang benar... walaupun Ferrari performanya lagi jelek banget, everyone is a tifosi.

Selain suka liat kompetitifnya bareng Max Verstappen, aku suka liat pertemenan Charles dengan Carlos Sainz. Baru-baru ini, pas midnight mereka nyewa mobil untuk balik ke Monaco bareng, karena flight mereka dicancel due to bad weather. Lucu banget, diupdate di seluruh sosmed pula dengan vibes mudik jalur pantura.

Aku lihat, sekarang makin banyak cewe yang suka F1... which is good, sih. Tapi, berasa gimana, ya.. I will try to explain this carefyully: Some of them only like it because of FOMO, hanya tau pebalapnya, tapi nggak ngerti banget tentang F1. I don't try to be pick-me, lho, but, seriously... it takes years for me to understand about F1, and it all started back in 2009-2010-ish. Mulai dari deretan mesin yang digunakan, perbedaan suara mesinnya, bagaimana para pebalap juga harus latihan fisik dan mental lalu juga mempelajari teknologi mobil yang akan digunakan, drama antar pebalapnya, Toto Wolff yang sumbu pendek tapi keren, Christian Horner yang cabut dari Red Bull. F1 is more than just a race, it consists drama, political issues, engineers who works hard to deliver the best- F1 is a business after all.

If you ever start to like F1, good luck on going deeper about it karena... seru.

XOXO,

Nita Piquet (biar kaya cewenya Max, Kelly Piquet, yang cantik banget parah. Kelly is a Sagittarius too btw. Emang, no one could ever deny Sagittarius face cards, LOL)

Masa Putih-Biru

Left - Right: Nadia, Wiwit, Salsa, Elyta, Me Ohhh.... SMPN 11 Jakarta, betapa aku merindukanmu sekarang!!!! Khususnya keempat orang ini yang gokilnya ampun-ampunan. Keempat orang yang suka tuker-tukeran bekal bareng, tempat curhat bareng, tempat nyontek (eh), tempat main Truth or Dare bareng, tempat dimana semua anaknya punya imajinasi tinggi karena seneng baca novel, tempat apa-apa deh pokoknya. Kalian inget ngga, waktu pelajaran Bahasa Indonesia materi musikalisasi puisi, kelompok lain masih rempong nyiapin ini-itu, sementara kita udah beres dan main truth or dare . Terus gue dare Elyta untuk bilang gini ke Bu Wiwik di depan kelas, "Bu.... dingin.... Saya butuh kehangatan, peluk dong..." And she did it without doubt. :") Terus waktu kita latihan dirumah sepupu gue sampe maghrib, kalian emang yang dateng ke rumah gue, tapi gue nya ngaret 2 jam gara-gara ambil kaca mata. :( Class Meeting juga sesuatu banget kalo kita semua lengkap. Kita nyanyi-nyanyi lagunya ...

The Passion and Soul of a Dreamer

I think tonight it's the perfect time to talk about... dream, passion, and soul. As a teenage girl, it's normal to be wishy-washy isn't it? When I was just a little girl I ask my mother what will I be Will I be pretty, will I be rich? Here's what she said to me: "Que sera, sera.. whatever will be, will be..." I bet y'all know this song. A song that my mom and I used to sing. Since I was a little, kalo ada yang nanya, "Mau jadi apa?" Jawabannya... "Designer!" A fashion designer, I mean. They, especially my Mom, doubt in me. They doubt of my dream. But somehow, I believe in it. Be a fashion designer is my dream, my passion, and my soul. I wanna failed in it, and I wanna raised from it. These are some Indonesian designer that I adore: 1. Harry Darsono. OMG. Dikenal dari stylenya yang adi busana. 2. Tex Saverio. Known as the Alexander McQueen-nya Indonesia. 3. Rafi Ridwan. He proves that every human has talent behind our im...

What is Klepto?

What is Klepto? Knownly as Kleptomania , is the inability to refrain from the urge to steal items for reasons other than personal use or financial gain. Kleptomania is presently classified in psychiatry as an impulse control disorder . Alternatively, some of the main characteristics of the disorder, which consist of recurring intrusion feelings, an inability to resist the urge to steal, and a release of pressure following the theft, suggest that kleptomania could be an obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorder , although this is disputed. Bla... Bla... Bla... HAAH, whatever itu gue copas dari Wikipedia. Hehe -_- Hmm, from my point of view...  Klepto itu adalah sebuah kebiasaan (penyakit, hama, parasit) untuk ngambil barang orang lain tanpa seijin orang tsb. My Sister once told me, kalo Klepto itu belum tentu dilakukan oleh orang yang tidak mampu, malah yang punya villa di setiap negara pun bisa jadi kena issue ini.  Kleptomania is so annoying... They're j...

The Poem of a Lover Girl

In the crowded place full of strangers, Seek my loving soul, it carries no angers. Stay true to your heart, though it's hard to tame. Deep inside you know I'm the one your soul will aim. Let me be your core. Otherwise we'll regret it forever more. Take the chance, break the wall. Listen to our heart, may this is the call. The longing feeling that we care, Time has passed so long, I can't bear. Throw away your fear, I'll wait, stand still in here. Let's fill the blank page. Don't lock me in the cage. Pull me closer to your gravity. This heart can bewray with your key. Two souls kiss in union, Like a sacred communion. "Till death do us part," we said. Linked hand, no light of love ever faded. *writing this as I listen to The 1975 - About You & Taylor Swift - Red*

Dream is NOT a Dream (I hope).

Hmm, do you ever think about your dreams? I mean.. Not a dream when you sleep and your mind is walking around in Dreamland. It's about your future. Many people asked me the same question. "What do you wanna be?" Maybe when we're a little, randomly we answer it like.... "An astronaut," "A pilot!" or like "A model!", "A Doctor", "A scientist." But, we're growing up. We have to think deeper than before. We have to think the risks. The example is me. I was dreaming to be a person who can make a huge fashion-show, and design all that dresses. I didn't know what is that until someday I knew that's called a designer. But I don't really care what designer I am. A fashion designer, or a web designer, or something with that titles. As long as people say it as a designer, as long as my imagination and my creativity can grow, I wanna be a designer.  Then I was dreaming to be an architect too. M...
