his girl friday.

polaroid,poladroid,beach

it's nandra. they also call her nashz, the history of such name is way too long to elaborate in this little space. she's seventeen. she's a she. she lives a typical metropolitan lifestyle in the capital of Indonesia. she's currently in her senior year of high school, enduring the second and last year of IB Diploma Programme that's totally ruining her life slowly. but she thinks the whole suffering would give her some sort of advantage in the (scarily) near future. she's a CISVer and lovin' every bit of it. oh, she also very much enjoys mango juice, she'd even prefer it than OJ haha. and while we're at it, yes, she might be random from time to time. she wishes you'd be quite patient about it. :)

seeking fun amidst IB madness :)

i haven't posted in what feels like ages. haha.
senior year's been super busy. IB won't get it's hands off of me. it's been taking giving me sleepless nights and constant headaches. my brain's been screaming it wants overtime. it's starting to prepare to get on a strike since it's been overworked this past weeks. -.-"

so anywaaays.
my weekdays has preety much been work work work. constant work. it's crazy coz i'm a student but i have the hours of a workaholic. it's even taken over my saturday! last saturday i had to come to school to do my group 4 presentation. and it was the crappiest saturday anyone could ever have. the tweets explain everything haha.

but i'd always seek for a bit of fun even when disaster strikes. coz afterwards was rena's sweet sixteen. yeaaayy my girl's sixteen :) it's so late for me to write this now haha, her party was last week.

but i've been having quite some friday nights though. now i cherish the saying Thank God it's Freakin' Friday! like last friday night, after juggling crazy stuffs and bullshiting i.e making our group 4 presentation, i decided to screw everything and get out of school. i mean, hello, it's friday i'm supposed to get out by noon, why am i still there at 4?!!

so gino and kaher and i decided to go out to ps and eat. those two boys are scarilly hungry. literally. so we ate and just hung out at starbucks. indulged on guilty pleasures and rant about what shitty, crappy, awful week we've had and we're bound to have -.-"

then this friday night was, thankfully, a day off. there was parent teacher conference at school but i didn't came. since no teacher called me and my parents are away in singapore haha. so i basically started the day real late. woke up at 10.30am. then lazed around watching tv before meeting ariani, diga and rama at PIM to catch a movie.
then we watched the proposal which was so freakin' awesome!!
ichel was right, ryan reynolds IS the perfect chick flick guy :)
he was so super sweet in the proposal! aahhh finally i get to watch an awesome romantic comedy!
aaaaaaaand with the super amazing ryan reynolds!
he is officially my chick flick guy. i'd watch any chick flick with him in it :p

sooooo after movies i went buka puasa at fish and co. ferina, nabila, filza, diga and her boyfriend came along too. it was awesome dinner. laughed out loud and enjoyed seriously yummy fish and chips :p
after that we quickly grabbed some heavenly blush and head on down to karaoke in happy song hahahaha. been a while since i karaoke'd so it was real fun. oh and cavin came along as well :D

sooooo that's been my friday night. it's been awesomeeee :)) i didn't think a bit about any school shit's i'm supposed to do. i think i'll be somewhat dedicating my saturday and sunday for that. i'mma do my EE and arts before mike's farewell tmrw.

yes, another good friend leaving the country to get higher education. i'll miss him. :(
but for now i think i'm gonna go and rest :)

ciao, everyone :D

OH MY GOD, I'M IRREVOCABLY MISSING YOU :'((

Hujan Meteorku, Bintang Jatuhku, Segalaku :)

gatau mau dipasang dimana hehe. something yg gw buat tengah malem ketika dilanda insomnia kronis :)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Aku benar-benar tidak tahu kekuatan macam apa yang bisa membuatku mengangguk setuju ketika kau memaksaku untuk menyetir ke Puncak di larut malam. “Tapi kan, ini nggak akan terjadi lagi dalam waktu yang lama, Angga! Aku bener-bener pengen liaaat!” katamu manja.

“Irene, Perseids muncul setahun sekali. It’s not like its Haley’s comet or anything!

“Oh, ayolah! Kita masih muda, we should learn to jump at the first chance we get!” Aku tidak tahu lagi apa yang terjadi setelah itu. Tapi yang jelas aku sudah di balik setir mobil dan masuk tol Jagorawi kearah Puncak. Lagu Chicago sari Sufjan Stevens mengalun dari radio mobilku.

Lampu baca kau nyalakan, agar kau bisa melahap fakta-fakta astronomi yang memang ingin kau dalami itu. Aku tersenyum mengingat pernyataanmu yang ingin melihat segala fenomena astronomi sebanyak mungkin, mulai dari aurora borealis sampai komet Halley – yang diperkirakan baru akan muncul pada tahun 2061. Aku tidak terlalu mengerti mengapa aku sampai tersenyum sendiri mengingat hal itu, mungkin karena kau selalu bersinar lebih terang jika kau membicarakan tentang ketertarikanmu pada ilmu astronomi – satu hal yang, menurut pengalamanku, jarang kutemui pada seorang wanita.

Tak lama setelah itu, jalanan yang lenggang membawa kami ke sebuah pelataran di dekat Puncak Pass. Di sekitar masih ada beberapa pedangang jagung bakar dan warga lainnya yang berkumpul untuk melihat fenomena astronomi ini. Kami bertengger di atap mobilku. Kamu dengan tenang melahap jagung bakar sambil terus menengadah ke atas. Aku juga melakukan hal yang sama, namun aku tidak bisa menahan impuls untuk sesekali menoleh untuk menatap keindahan lain. Keindahan seorang Hawa yang bertengger manis di atas atap mobilku.

Aku tidak tahu kekuatan apa yang kau miliki, wahai Dewi, tapi aku tahu kekuatanmu mampu membuatku bersedia melakukan apa saja asal itu adalah untukmu dan bersamamu. Aku bersedia melakukan apa saja asal itu berarti aku bisa ditemani oleh ukiran senyum indahmu.

“Sebentar lagi.” Ujarmu sambil mengecek jam tanganmu. Hujan meteor Perseids itu diperkirakan akan muncul pukul satu pagi, atau paling tidak itu yang aku dengar dari orang-orang. Sekarang sudah pukul satu kurang sepuluh. Disekitar kami, semua pasang mata menatap tajam ke langit hitam yang dibanjiri bintang-bintang dan disinari oleh cahaya rembulan.

Aku tidak tahu menahu tentang astronomi sedikit pun, tapi apa yang baru saja aku lihat adalah salah satu fenomena semesta terindah yang pernah aku saksikan. Langit yang tidak berawan itu tidak hanya dibanjiri bintang, namun tiba-tiba dihiasi oleh sekelebat sinar yang berjatuhan. Bagaikan hujan, memang, tapi kali ini bukan air yang melintasi langit, tapi sinar-sinar mengkilap yang menghiasi langit. Aku mengerti sekarang kenapa kamu bersikeras mengajakku kesini.

“Jangan lupa, make a wish, Ngga.” Bisikku pelan ke telingaku. Aku hanya tersenyum mendengar kata-kata yang meluncur dari mulutmu.

Malam ini sepertinya lebih dari apa yang bisa aku utarakan kepada meteor-meteor itu. Aku tidak perlu mengajukan pinta apa-apa kepadanya karena aku sudah mendapatkannya dari sejak pertama kali aku mengenal dirimu. Hari-hariku dipenuhi dengan keindahan yang tak tertandingi semenjak kau muncul dalam hidupku. Setiap hari matahari bersinar cerah dimana kau berada, walau langit mendung sekalipun dan petir menyambar penuh amarah. Setiap malamku dihiasi oleh bintang-bintang dan fenomena astronomi lainnya, walau malam itu para bintang enggan menunjukkan wujudnya. Setiap jam bagiku adalah pukul 11:11, karena tak ada waktu dimana aku tidak mengharapkan kehadiranmu.

Semua itu tak perlu kuutarakan kepada para bintang, karena aku yakin mereka sudah tahu. Aku yakin semua itu karena para bintang jatuh itu tahu mereka telah mengirimkan kaumnya yang paling bersinar kepadaku. Karena engkau, adalah hujan meteorku, bintang jatuhku, sinar auroraku, segalaku. Engkau adalah seluruh fenomena astronomi dan lebih dari itu.

Dalam hati, aku tetap membuat suatu permintaan kepada meteor-meteor itu. Berikanlah aku keberanian untuk menyatakan apa yang seharusnya kunyatakan selama ini.

Aku pun memberanikan diriku untuk menggenggam erat tanganmu dan menatap dalam matamu yang indah itu. Kuutarakan segala yang baru saja terlintas dipikiranku. Bahwa engkau adalah hujan meteorku, bintang jatuhku, sinar auroraku, segalaku. Akan kuulang sampai kau bosan. Karena fakta itu tidak akan pernah luntur.

Kau adalah hujan meteorku.

Bintang jatuhku.

Sinar auroraku.

Segalaku.

Kau ulangi kata-kata itu dari bibir manismu.

Hujan meteorku.

Bintang jatuhku.

Sinar auroraku.

Segalaku.

Bumi berhenti berputar untukku dan untukmu sejenak. Yang ada hanyalah aku, kamu dan hujan meteor Perseids yang menjadi saksi bersatunya dua insan yang adalah aku dan kamu.

time flies by in one freakishly swift motion.

this is the part where i always dreaded to be at. it seems so unreal, because i never quite thought about it. days after days i went through, some with monotonous nothingness, some with little things i'd always remember.

but then again, time flies by in one freakishly swift motion. you really don't quite know how you'd get here but somehow you just did. as i've said before i hate saying goodbyes. tonight a good friend of mine is leaving for a brand new life in the states. never quite realised he'll be leaving soon. it's crazy 'cause i really dont know that this time will come. not this quick anyways.

so then i have this sinking feeling in my gut. i so hate how time flies so fast and i'm never up for it. who knows till it's another day i'd have to say g'bye to another dear friend?

this post seems random, i know. but i think it's because i still can't quite comprehend about this chapter in life. how time flies. why can't it crawl slowly like a snail? i know the slowness in time is relative. but why is it that when you're sitting an exam time is so slow you want to press fast forward, but when things like this happen it's so fast once you're in it you're struggling for your equilibrium. i'm writing in circles again, i know. blame my confusion.

hmm, don't think i'd continue anything from here. i'd just let life teach me more things and leave me wandering.

meanwhile, goodluck out there, choco! thnks fr evrything :)

impromptu insights at midnight

this time it's ms. dewi lestari that amazes me :)


"4.354.560.000

Itulah banyaknya milisekon sejak pertama aku jatuh cinta kepadamu. Angka itu bisa lebih fantastis kalau ditarik sampai skala nano. Silakan cek. Dan ak berani jamin engkau masih ada di situ. Di tiap inti detik, dan di dalamnya lagi, dan lagi, dan lagi..."

-Selagi Kau Lelap-

"Dan setiap senti gurun akan terinspirasi karena kau berani beku dalam neraka, kau berani putih meski sendiri, karena kau... berbeda."

-Salju Gurun-


all quotes taken from Dee's Filosofi Kopi: Kumpulan Cerita dan Prosa Satu Dekade.
agak telat emang gw baru baca sekarang. but, better late than never.
gw gak akan bisa terinspirasi seperti ini kalau gw ga ambil buku ini dari rak di graamedia.
setiap untaian kata dalam buku ini sarat makna. gak mungkin klo pembacanya gak bisa menarik sesuatu dari cerita-cerita di buku ini.

superbly written by an amazing female indonesian author. if you don't have it in your bookshelf right now, go get it a.s.a.p.

it's worth every penny :)

oh the irony

me and senior year has a love-hate relationship. i love the fact that i'm always in a class full of crazy, fun friends. but i hate hate hate the fact that i've got lots of shits to do yet i haven't done shit about it.

i'm taking a (prolonged) break from finishing up my group 4 report. would do some stuffs for art later on too.

oh here's an ironic thing from this SAT vocabs handout thing.

grandiloquent adj. using big and fancy words when speaking for the purpose of impressing other. i.e. words such as GRANDILOQUENT

see the irony? HAHA.
random i know. but i'm just turning my depression from IB into randomness. much more healthy for others.

see ya when IB's not kickin' my ass, peeps. :)
