… So, happy (belated) new year everyone! Hugs for those who’s willing to spent their precious time scrolling down to these pages of my blog

It’s kinda too late, I know, for a new year’s celebration, but I think it’s never too late to share. Mumpung masih awal tahun, saya mau berbagi “Award of 2009″ versi saya sendiri hehehe. It includes almost everything in my (almost entirely) life. So here it goes…

The 2009 Award

Person of The Year goes to Me-D! teeheeeheee… you may as well call me a selfish egotist but we are precious in every way, aren’t we?

Items of The Year would be:

• My Notebooks as in real notebooks made of papers to write with pen or pencil. Pocket size, bigger size, red, black, brown, blue, another black… they are my treasures.

Color of The Year is Black. Black Car, Black Shoes, Black shoulder-bags, Black Moleskine, Black Cat, Black Dining Table, Black New TV, Black Cell Phone… Black is just awesome!

Book of The Year is definitely The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand. Acute Depression and Desperation were and still are among other things that linger after finish reading the book. You’ll know when you’ve read it.

Notebook of The Year is still Moleskine. I still haven’t found another alternatives since Ace Hardware quit their stocking of notebooks which the company or the manufacturer’s remain clueless for me.

*Yaay!! nemu 2 buku pertama di tempat tak terduga! Arigatou D!

*Waaah jadi panjang listnya hehe.. thanks to you all

This is about another book. Memnoch The Devil is by Anne Rice, The 5th book from the Vampire Chronicle Series. Why do I write the 5th book first instead of the 1st book? well, it’s basically because I just finished reading it, and however, I don’t have the 1st and 2nd book. :p

This book is just splendid! It could evoke something inside you, evoke things you used to believe. I’m talking about what so called God and The Devil. When we put aside “The Religion Affair” in this matter, the book could give another new perspective about why there’s such thing as God in Heaven and The Devil in Hell. It’s no longer about being an evildoer or the other, it’s beyond that, yet, more simple. Heaven and Hell are about Love. Interesting, eh?

Memnoch was The Devil. He lured Lestat, The Brave One, to be his adversary. Lestat was taken to have a journey to Hell and then to Heaven, and then through Time. It’s all because God and Memnoch had this little argument about who should enter Heaven and who should stay far away from it. By the end of the book, Lestat -or is it us?- had to chose, whether to help God or Memnoch, for whatever they both have in purpose. Trust me, it’s so beautifully told by Rice, this whole thing about beliefs, and love, and all.

Just read it… please.

The honor to be the first book on our bookshelf is: Kafka On The Shore by Haruki Murakami. The book is about something beyond something, really. Kafka is the boy in the book. He could time travel, meet unusual creature that do never-ordinary things that cause extraordinary somethings. The Famous Johnie-Walker with his new occupation, “The Cat Killer”, and other characters that would bring suprises everytime you turn the pages -it may sounds like I’m a well-paid-book reviewer, but really… I kept turning the pages with a jolt of curiosity even after I read it again and again-.

err… I should read it again.. oh well…

Oh d**n! I am writing here again! I did try to pull back, but the urge was too huge -ahaha alasan!- anyway, I like books -I was so tempted to write “love” instead of “like” but I guess it sounds too much- so, again, I like books. A best way to run from the harsh worlds, better words than the world offers, so yeah… books are great.

I already had a place to write about books that I have read it is at Goodreads. But unfortunately… I forgot my userid and the password. So maybe I just start all over again. Besides, this is such a place to put everything of my concern, right?

So, enough for the prologue, I just wish these stack of books would do some good for you.
