  • O Sole Mio, Papa!

    My dad used to love to sing a song whenever he was given a chance to. One of the songs that he loved was an old tune titled O Sole Mio, which is an old naples song. It simply means My Sun. Elvis Presley also made this song famous in English version called It’s Now… Read more

  • “Kok bisa sih plin-plan begitu?” “Kok gak jadi? Trus sekarang gimana?” “Duh, jadi males.. gak usah aja deh, gak jelas” Pernah ngucap hal-hal kaya gitu ngga? 🙂 Aku sih sering… Aku adalah pribadi yang menjunjung keteraturan dan perencanaan. Rasanya hati ini tentramnya bukan main kalau rencana yang sudah aku rancang di kepala bisa berjalan sesuai… Read more

  • Hidup itu butuh variasi

    “Hidup tuh ya gitu terus ya? Bangun pagi, siap-siap, sarapan, menerjang macet, kerja terus pulang, terus tidur, terus besoknya diulangi lagi kaya gitu.” Ada yang familiar dengan ucapan seperti itu nggak? Saya yakin semua pasti pernah mengucap hal yang serupa, atau paling tidak pernah dengar. Menurut saya itu tanda-tanda harus liburan :p Jadi teringat betapa… Read more

  • Bahasa bisa karena biasa

    Sudah beberapa tahun terakhir saya menjadi terlalu biasa menulis atau berekspresi dalam bahasa inggris. Terlebih lagi kalau menyangkut urusan pekerjaan 90% pasti menggunakan bahasa asing tersebut. Beberapa kali saya harus menulis email dalam bahasa Indonesia dan mulai menyadari kalau saya sudah tidak seluwes itu lagi menuliskan kalimat-kalimat dalam bahasa ibu saya itu. Ini bukannya blagu… Read more

  • Happy birthday, Papa.

    Not a single day in the last two years that I have not missed you. Life happens and sometimes you are not in my mind. Sometimes. But you are always clinging in my deepest thought and always come out in the right time. I’ve been well, Pah, but then today is your birthday and it… Read more

  • Love on Top

    It’s only a couple of hours until 2016. I’m having a good day so far. I watched tv and slept, a lot. Earlier today I glanced across the living room and landed my sight on a picture on the wall, my dad. He’s smiling. It was taken during my brother’s wedding party a couple of… Read more

  • Christmas Eve

    Always my favorite night of the year. People seem to be more cheerful, more caring, more friendly, more relax and calm. Christmas lights and decorations, christmas songs, family gathering, the laughter, the food. It warms my heart so much that it makes me cry. Lit candles at church while singing silent night along with other… Read more

  • Contentment.

    Do not ever try to change a person. Foremost, do not ever try to change yourself to fit into a person’s mind. Especially if that person is not in your everybody committee. My mother always told me that I have too many friends. I think in a way that’s true. What most people around me… Read more

  • Because you matter to me

    I’ve been told that social media is not good for me and then a good friend of mine said “I think its important to be aware of everything around you and not focus on urself all the time”. I was quiet for the reason that I thought social media is about sharing-is-caring kind of concept.… Read more

  • My weeks before Christmas

    It was raining outside and I checked my calendar, guess what? Christmas is less than 50 days away. Excited and mellow at the same time. The second year Dad’s not around anymore. He was never really fond of celebrations, but still I miss him more during Christmas. I had a weird dreams with him in… Read more
