Buku itu…

…Fix your broken heart,  slap you in the face, or dry the sweat from your armpit (I know, I know… there should be a lot better analogy). Rasanya ingin berbagi sensasi itu kepada diri sendiri dan pihak lain yang bersedia ikut terkena imbasnya. But, alas, I don’t own The Mighty Time and those little fingers are too lazy to struck on the keyboard.

My beloved books…

Things keep me sane

I am totally easily get bored, so I have those things to keep me sane when I’m on the verge of getting suffocated or saturated by the situation or just anything. They are:

1. Great books, and I mean it, not one book, but books. When I get a hint of boredom approaching me, I grab any of those books scattered on my table or on the shelves. Read one… when I get another hint of another boredom when reading the book, I grab another one and so on until those hints eventually subside.

2. Weekends! My motto “This day will pass away!” keeps reminding me that weekends will come eventually, days to stay idle hehe…

3. Daydreaming. Wondering what ifs… What if I had a 100 billion rupiahs at the moment, What if my new car was suddenly exchanged by someone and it became a Europe Modern Luxury Car… What if I could fly… What if.. What if…

4. … (I’m getting bored writing this… I should stop now, I’ll get back later)

Geez… Thought it was easy

Really, I mean… after That Day, I thought I could put my mind at ease, the only things I thought have to be taken into deep consideration was me, D, and our little family. It turns out the other away around. Bukannya istirahat nih kepala, yang ada tambah banyak aja isinya. Untung aja itu tesis-tesis-an udah selesai! setengah gila ngurusin tesis sambil ngurusin Hari Itu.

Anyway… it is hard to live life as a grown up. Is it just me or… Oh well.

At first we were so excited to have such amount of savings, we planned things, the postponed honeymoon, a little new year’s eve celebration, etc… etc… but now… all that savings are dripping out, those plans are constantly being erased from our “to-do” lists.Money become more and more in power within our (my) life.

We, I, should find another way to make money. It’s not easy, is it?  I mean, nowadays… For me, there are these barriers that are limiting my choices so I have to find really hard, geez.

Ever heard of freelance writer? It sounds interesting, you could do your work remotely, at any time convenient to you, as long as you fulfill some (usually not so hard to be fulfilled) requirements. Many sites provide those kind of jobs, i.e. Helium, Suit101, Shvoong, and many others. I know many people are already participated in such job, but, hey, perhaps it’s just never to late to start something new. So, I try it out at Shvoong, haven’t earn any money from it yet, but at least I try, besides, all you have to do is write, rite?  :)

Help me to improve my writings, would you… anyone? give comments, feedback, or whatever… It would be so much help for me. Thanks in advance to you :)

Ah! Kalap!

Liat Aksara di PP kok lucu… eh gak tahan… eh… pas si debit ada isinya… eh… liat ada buku-buku itu yang sudah dicari keliling toko buku tapi belum nemu-nemu… eh… kok ada buku lainnya yang tidak kalah menarik… eh.. loh… kok gak tahan main gesek aja tuh debit… yaaaah… kalap deh beli bukunya (-_-)”

Yang jadi korban kekalapan adalah:
1. Eat, Pray, Love (Elizabeth Gilbert)
2. The Fountainhead (Ayn Rand)
3. Atlas Shrugged (Ayn Rand)
