Lately I've been having interest to maps, maybe because my father actually reads map (and he brags about it often) or maybe it just another undescribable antics of mine (like loving the smell of post-its or how I love doing plastic covers on my book). So recently two of my friend went to japan and china and kindly brought some maps for me....
For a friend who is out there, I've heard or maybe read somewhere that it's impossible to found someone who doesn't want to be found. And the line never strikes me so bad until today. I think we were on good terms on the last four years if we weren't best of friends. I share some stories, and so do you. Of course...
The only thing that is constant is change - Heraclitus Change happens, either you want it or not. One of my best friend told me that it was the peer pressure and her academic circumstances that initially got her to let go of her big-white-super comfortable sport shoes into some flat shoes, loafers, and sometimes, high heels. Another friend of mine said to...
This has been my mantra for the last couple days. Semoga selalu berkah dan tetap bahagia :) ...
I made this post because I was moved by this short writing. And because screaming I FEEEEEL YOUUU will lost how deep its meaning for me (imo) I decided to share some things here. The last one and a half months has been a roller coaster month for me. I've been feeling like crying for like, twice a day in the first couple...
finally weekend! I have to admit that even though it was inspiring and fun and boring and interesting and everything at the same time, I love my job right now. But sure I also love to make plans for weekend. I started it on Wednesday, my plans for weekend. Even more advanced, two weeks before the weekend. And so, this weekend, my plan...
I remember this part from Ika Natassa's Antologi Rasa. Adegannya Keara dan Ruli ngobrol dan sama-sama setuju kalau kerjaan mereka adalah sesuatu yang mereka lakukan between weekends, to keep them alive, to afford their living if I have to make it simple. Jadi ceritanya ada yang bertanya, setelah wisuda, what's next? I already have plans, lanjut sekolah, kerja, ikut penelitian dosen, mungkin leha...
insecurities itu mungkin karena kamu nggak mau bukan nggak bisa. karena kamu terlalu banyak mikir bukan bergerak. dan karena kamu mikirin apa kata orang bukan kata hati sendiri. insecurities itu mungkin karena kamu nggak mau bukan nggak bisa. karena kamu terlalu banyak mikir bukan bergerak. dan karena kamu mikirin apa kata orang bukan kata hati sendiri. ...
saya belajar tentang ekspektasi dari sampul buku. Katanya don't judge the book by its cover, karena, literally cover itu misleading. Sampul dan judul sebuah buku biasanya bikin saya memiliki ekspektasi tertentu terhadap isi bukunya. Tapi bukannya jarang saya kesal sendiri karena buku-buku favorit saya kovernya malah visually annoying. No offense untuk pembuat covernya ya, menurut saya, ekspektasi juga masalah selera. Saya baru baca...
Dua minggu terakhir saya ngobrol sama beberapa teman dan akhirnya berkesimpulan, people judge anyway. Teman saya yang pertama, with a bit arrogance, bilang sama saya kalo sebaiknya temen saya yang lain urusin aja dulu kuliahnya baru ngurus hal yang lainnya. Pada awalnya mungkin, kalo ada yang denger, pasti mikirnya ini orang sombong banget. Ngeremehin orang banget, nggak liat usaha orang banget. Toh urusan...
I have weird addiction to lines. People's dialogue, lyrics of a song, words on a novel, et cetera. Things Annabeth said to Percy or how Taylor Swift define 22 : it's miserable and magical.

lem paling oke buat gini adalah lem fox. uhu juga sih, tapi susah ngeleteknya. kalo lem korea yang belinya di kereta gitu paling sakit, jangan sampe kena tangan. lem paling oke buat gini adalah lem fox. uhu juga sih, tapi susah ngeleteknya. kalo lem korea yang belinya di kereta gitu paling sakit, jangan sampe kena tangan. ...
[source] qul khairan au liyasmuth. berkatalah yang baik atau diam. Satu hal yang selalu diulang-ulang bunda, berkatalah yang baik atau diam. Awalnya ngomong ini karena sebagai 4 bersaudara, kami suka berantem kata-kataan di rumah. Tapi setelah dipikir-pikir, sebenernya nggak butuh kata-kata bahasa arab semacam ini untuk percaya bahwa menjaga ucapan itu penting. There are instances out there, dari satu ucapan yang diinterpretasikan berbagai...
Beliau... mengatakan bahwa mereka semua dapat menjadi a better person sesuai dengan kemampuan dan kelebihannya masing-masing. Nara yang playboy dan genius, Reno yang supel dan fleksibel, Inez yang cantik dan lembut, Bianca si pembela kebenaran yang tomboy, dan Diaz... yang dingin dan penyendiri.Yeah rite, batin Diaz dalam hati dengan lesu. Menjadi a better person dengan gue yang kayak gini, apa bisa? - sitta...
bagi yang belum baca bisa baca di sini everyone has their own preference on reading. Saya ngakunya suka sama genre fantasy macam the hunger games atau percy jackson dan cerita detektif/spy kayak alex rider. tapi satu yang selalu saya baca diulang-ulang, kecewa, baca lagi yang lain, nangis, dibaca ulang sampai hapal, di quote dimana-mana, ditulis di buku harian, dan lain sebagainya. dan di luar...
Sejatinya amanah itu, Bukan karena kamu mampu Bukan pula karena mereka merasa kamu mampu Bukan karena kamu tahu kapasitasmu Bukan pula karena mereka tahu kapasitasmu Dan jangan sampai pula karena kemauanmu Amanah itu kehendak Allah, rencana Allah atas kehidupanmu Bahkan sekiranya semua orang di sekitarmu berhimpun untuk menjauhkanmu dari amanah itu, jika Allah tahu itu yang terbaik bagimu, maka ia berikan amanah itu...
to tell the truth might be the hardest thing someone could ever committed. I know it sounds super-exaggerated but it may be true in some condition. For example, in condition where people believe that majority is true. Then it becomes the true is what majority think it is. I've been in one (or two, or maybe more) condition where I couldn't find the guts to...
"Allah menghadirkan rasa ragu, mungkin Dia sedang mempertanyakan, adakah kontribusi untuk Ku dalam rencanamu?" - una's text message there's a chapter in my life that would be hard to forget. The one I would like to have it open like a book I read on my sleepless night, the one I would like to embrace until the end. That is a chapter of...
jadi mahasiswa tingkat akhir itu berarti jadi orang yang dihujani pertanyaan yang didahului dengan kata 'apa' ('apa topik skripsinya?'), dilanjutkan dengan 'kapan' (misalnya 'kapan lulus?' dan 'kapan wisuda?' lebih jauh lagi 'kapan mulai cari kerja?' dan 'kapan nikah' (yang terakhir kejauhan sih keponya)) yang diikuti dengan pertanyaan di mana ('mau kerja di mana?' 'mau lanjut sekolah di mana?' dan 'udah daftar di mana...

nggak kerasa tinggal sebulan lagi. pengumpulan draft skripsi saya tanggal 3 Juni, which means, there is less than a month for me to complete the writings. sekarang baru sadar kenapa dosen pembimbing saya beberapa minggu lalu agak panik sama kemajuan skripsi anak-anak bimbingannya. maaf ya, bu, anak bandel nih buuu~ yang jelas, saya nggak sendirian mondar-mandir baca ini itu, highlighting di sini dan...
Dulu, seorang kakak pernah bilang gini sama aku : "semakin banyak yang dibolehin buat kamu, bukannya semakin bebas, justru semakin banyak tanggung jawabnya," Sekarang, hampir tiap hari aku buka twitter dan facebook. Hampir tiap hari liat temen di kampus lagi ngapain, apa yang mereka share, lagi stalking apa desperate tugas, dan lain-lain. Semakin dekat sama media ternyata semakin mudah buruk sangka yah, Na....
I stumble upon this while scrolling down my tumblr. I have a tendency of having an over-thinking personality every-time I try to make a decision. Things I shouldn't be thinking when I'm about to move forward and start to make plans with my life. That no matter how big your dream is, however far it may seem, if He allows, it will happen...
terharu adalah ngirim draft skripsi jam 21:16 waktu Jakarta (yang berarti sekitar jam 11 di Jepang) terus dibales jam 21:30 waktu Jakarta. LIMA BELAS MENIT SAUDARA-SAUDARA! dan ini hari Minggu dan udah mau tengah malem. waktu itu saya nanggepin temen saya yang nanya kenapa saya milih dosen ini jadi pembimbing skripsi dengan "nggak apa-apa yang penting gue diurusin," dan ternyata diurusinnya beyond imagination....
to think that I have always thinking about leaving my comfort zone (and never doing it anyway) I come to think of these three people who has graduated from goosehouse. ...
my english teacher on high school once asked me this : "sebenernya niat kamu ikut acara ini itu apa?" jadi waktu itu saya jadi perwakilan sekolah buat ikutan lomba bahasa inggris. dengan bahagianya saya ikutan dan bilang, saya nggak terlalu peduli menang atau kalah karena yang penting saya dapet name tag. bocah, ya? iya banget. parah banget malah bocahnya. karena guru saya akhirnya...
So I've met 5 of them 6 years ago. never imagine that we'll come to this phase of life. that we will find joy and happiness through this specific event. I'm more happy than I've ever remember for my friend. even no emoticon can describe my feelings properly :D ...
hello, this is my first week on my 8 semester. and yes, during my thesis semester, I plan to write things I learn throughout the months until this August. FYI, in my uni, even though I'm majoring architecture which is a part of engineering faculty, we have to write a thesis, and not doing some kind of 'tugas akhir' like most of people...
I can't blame architecture for making me reading less books in the last 3 and a half years. Maybe even less than what I've read in a year when I was on high school. But anyway, It's sucks to realize that my speed on reading has become worse. When I usually finish a good book less in a day (for around 300 pages...
ini post spesial (yang pastinya kebaca sama orang lain tapi nggak sama orangnya tapi kalo kebaca juga alhamdulillah) buat teman saya yang (ehm) menikah kemarin. nggak ada semacam pengumuman resmi sebenernya, bisa dibilang saya taunya dari gosip gosip di sekitar saya (iya sih, nyari gosipnya pake usaha). tapi ya, resmi nggak resmi pada intinya, pertama kali denger kabarnya saya kaget dan excited. sebenernya...
the most intriguing question for today was sponsored by a colleague of mine. hari ini saya jaga pameran AFAIR 2013. kebetulan ada orang nanya soal project saya (klik tab pertama di sebelah kanan ya :)) yang ada di pameran itu. setelah saya jawab pertanyaannya, dia nanya begini : 'so what did you learn from the children?' di luar konteks pertanyaannya yang memang nyambung...
'kalau kamu di sini...' itu frase paling bikin galau sedunia. it's as if your presence will make things better and unfortunately you can't be there. it's as if you had made a wrong choice not to be there. or in the other hand, it is a relief that you are not even there. that your presence will ruin things and it's as if...
do you remember that I have posted about a community project to rejuvenate a school library? Around the end of last year, some friends of mine had taken the course and they make a very awesome library that can be check here : http://perpustakaansekolahku.wordpress.com/ and another one here : http://akudanperpustakaan.blogspot.com/ Both of the library are cool and the behind the scene parts are...
time flies and things change. yesterday, a kind-of-shocking news reach me. Not in a bad way, more in a good and exciting way. And that news open up my eyes wider. Boom. Things are not the same, not in 7 years, not in a blink of an eye. yesterday, I watched an episode from How I Met Your Mother. You know, the episode...
anyone visited afairui.com yet? the main event will be held in Candra Naya, Gajah Mada on January 27th. It's only 25 days to the big day! I am currently working on a project with my friends, Grace, Tria, and Edwin (all architecture batch 2009) and it will be on the exhibition! rough sketch by Grace ...
