sunshine and storm beneath my wings

tentang hari ini

Scroll down to Eliminating the Limits by Alanda Kariza and found her post that dedicated to her one year anniversary with her boyfriend. That was so me, just like what I feel about you and us. So let me share it:

I suspect the following words are going to be few of the hardest ones to write. This is my second attempt, as my first draft vanished into the air right after I clicked “Save”. Ironic. Nevertheless, writing would be the best medium for me to express how I feel, what I would like to say, and the things I’d like to convey. I wanted to sing for you but I know nothing about intonations, let alone tunes, and I am going to ruin any song that I try to sing. I don’t draw, I don’t sew, I don’t make crafts… Therefore, I hope you’re okay with this.

We have been together for a few hundred days, huh? 365 felt so fast yet so slow at the same time. It feels so fast until I feel like I have never even known you before; it feels so slow I get to bitch about the fact that we have only been together for one year (eight month or two years for our case). Despite these, I am grateful I get to go through the ticks and the tocks with you. The way time goes by will always be a secret, but I can never ask for a better way to experience it.

You are my version of Forrest Gump’s box full of chocolates, “You never know what you are going to get”. I did not know how you would “taste” before I “opened” you, before I saw everything in you – but as soon as I did, I completely love it. Both the sweet and bitterness. Day and night. 24/7/365. I consume it until it runs out, and am yearning for more. Can I ask for more? Can I melt with you?

I remember when you said you can promise me nothing about forever, for the future is full of uncertainties, and I told you we can never know who our soulmate is. But… I also remember when you promised me you would stay by my side no matter how ugly things might get, and you agreed when I told you the only thing to figure out if we are soulmate for each other or not would be to stay together until we depart.

Thank you..

For being the person who always reminds me to protect my dreams, and pursue them. For being the person who contains me. For wanting to stick with me no matter how irritating I have always been. For still being there and still listening whenever I babble about everything in my life. For being the place to lean on when I had to go through the lowest points of my life. For reminding me to always be good. For the gifts. For the stories. For the laughs. For the adventure. For the advices. For the lessons. For the dates. For the night outs. For letting me be a part of your life. For asking me to be a part of mine. (and for still accept all my random things when I get PMS on my period)

I can’t believe that I love you, for all this time.

Thanks for be such a good partner.

This Is My Wonderland

Long weekend kemarin saya pergi ke Yogyakarta, sendirian! Yep, berangkat naik bus langsung dari garasinya, ruamee gila. Celingukan di dalem bus sendiri, pas udah ngajak ngobrol orang yang duduk di sebelah eh tahunya beliau jurnalis, so exited walaupun paknya jadi curhat kesana kemari. Pas udah nyampek Solo udah exited banget duduk tegak, soalnya kata ayah Solo itu udah deket sama Jogja, jadinya nggak berani tidur. Eeeh, kelewat dua jam belum nyampek aja. Akhirnya turun di Janti, dan nungguin Mas Bill njemput. Gitu deh, Alhamdulillah selamat sampai Jogja.

Hari pertama nggak ngapa-ngapain. Malemnya nonton Dark Shadow di gedung bioskop Empire XXI. Nyobain Ice Blend apa gitu yang warna biru, enak tapi mahal. Dapet tiket malem sekitar jam sembilan, jadinya sempet ke Toga Mas yang ada di seberangnya, terus muter-muter Jogja malem hari. Nyobain Zuppa Cream Soup di Kaliurang yang dijual sama mas-mas ganteng yang kayanya masih mahasiswa. Sayangnya film Dark Shadow yang katanya anak-anak itu lucu kok ... I don't get it. Tapi tetep lah Jhony Depp kalau main keren banget, favourite <3>

Hari kedua, aku sama Mas Bill, gilak, pergi ke pantai!! Berangkat dari kosan pagi-pagi gitu setelah sarapan Gudeg. Kita perginya naik motor, jauh banget pula pantainya, sekitar dua jam. Ditambah dengan jalanan yang berliku, naik, tikungan, pinggir jurang. Capeek banget, terutama pantat tuh capek duduk udah sixpack aja kayanya. Beruntung udaranya sejuuuuk. Ngelewatin Wonosari, Gunungkidul, naik-naik jauh ke atas, nyelorooot ... eh tahu-tahu ada pantai, ajaib banget emang.

Subhannallah pantainya cantiiiik. Pantai yang pertama namanya Pantai Indrayanti. Warna pantainya biruuu banget, pasirnya halus dan di sisi kanan kiri pantai ada karang-karang besar. Karena ada di deretan pantai selatan ombaknya gede-gede, padahal pengen berenang. Waktu itu cukup ramai juga pantainya, tapi masih bisa dinikmati. Seneng banger gitu deh, jadi cukup lama disitu, main-main pasir, tiduraan.

Pantai yang kedua namanya Pantai Sundak. Yang ini ombaknya nggak gede, soalnya pantainya menjorok ke dalam, kaya teluk gitu. Pasirnya sakit, pecahan-pecahan karang. Pantainya juga pantai karang, banyak ikan dan keongnya. Airnya disini juga beniiing, jadi bisa lihat terumbu laut yang bergoyang. Sempet ngambil banyak keong (yang kemudian mati dirubung semut di kos-kosan) yang maunya dibawa pulang buat Ima.

Nyampe kosan langsung teler deh bok. Hari-hari berikutnya jalan-Jalan ke alun-alun, ke benteng, muter-muter UGM kampus masa depan (amiiin), nyari makanan enak. Sempet ke House of Raminten yang punyanya waria itu, mmm. Beli nasi kucing juga di angkringan huahaha. Kalau Mas Bill lagi ngerjain tugas gitu, jalan-jalan sendiri ke Malioboro naik bus kota. Waktu itu dapet Dreamcatcher murah, 10.000 hehehe. Atau kalo nggak gitu pergi ke pasar minggunya UGM. Sayang emang hari-hari terakhir uang udah tekoor banget, padahal juga nggak beli apa-apa. Gara-gara bayarin makan sama Mas Bill tuh, hmmm.

Ohya, ohya! Waktu di Malioboro nemu satu lapak gitu yang jual barang-barang Native America (Indian). Bagus-bagus pol barangnya. Kepingin banget beli tas kulitnya, tapi kok harganya 400.000. Dhuwikke Mbak Sangkil aaa, tapi emang sih barangnya bagus banget T___T

Saya disana tiga harian. Pagi-pagi nyari tiket kereta api, untung dapet :) Eh tapi pas sorenya waktu dianterin ke stasiun sama Mas Bill diturunin di pinggir trotoar gitu. Mbok ya dianterin ke dalem stasiun nyari keretanya kek gimana, jadi bingung bengong sendiri. Tapi finally selamat juga sampai Surabaya :) Seneng banget di Jogja, atmosfernya itu loh, adeem. Pengen ke pantai-pantainya lagi!!
