Are We There Yet?

No. Not yet, little girl. Not even close.

It’s an old phrase actually, but sometimes you fail to remember that life is not easy. When you think all the mess can easily swept away by the time you throw the rubbish, actually it can turn repeatedly cause sometimes the wind blows, make it scatter again. Clean up again scatter again clean up scatter clean up scatter clean up scatter. Mess is a mess and some mess’ can’t be erased. You’ll be punished for that.

The road still long and bumpy as it was. It winds it twists it turns. Furthermore, it can be stretched and become more time-consuming anytime you thought you were on a right track. Stop being so positive. Life is not only about success and happiness. It’ll suck you no matter how hard you dodge it. 

Bear in mind, what life brings you when you have too much goals and expectation out there? One wrong way, one failure. One glimpse, one tears. Cause life, at its best, will suck you. Once again, suck you.

For God sake.

Who’s there? Why you whisper that speech at me on the night like this?

MEW CONCERT!

In a big, big way
I am really small
I get off my feet
But I'm still distant
Don't you just love goodbyes?

The high-pitch-voice, their song selection especially “Eight Flew Over One Was destroyed” that surprisingly they performed, the confetti, and the right time.

FINALLY!

Penantian menonton Jonas Bjerre dkk sekaligus nonton konser yang worth-watching di tahun ini kesampean! Buat saya, band ini berbeda. Ada perasaan emosional setiap kali mendengar namanya (apalagi lagunya) sejak beberapa tahun lalu. Di playlist, di blog, status twitter, list listening Path, lagu-lagu mereka termasuk yang paling sering muncul. 

Setelah Indonesia kedatangan seabreg band beberapa tahun belakangan, saya terbilang pilih-pilih untuk datang demi menjaga keemosionalan menonton konser dan khususnya menjaga kesehatan dompet. Hahaha.

Tapi saat diumumkan dia akan datang (lagi) ke sini, tak perlu waktu lama untuk saya mengisi form pembelian tiket online dan ke ATM menyelesaikan pembayaran. Lima belas menit setelah mendengar kabar, tiket pun sudah digenggaman. Yes, Mew, you are entitled to get my priorities!

Dan konsernya, meski kali ini tanpa visual yang konon jadi ciri khas mereka, but for me those 17 songs was satisfactory! Dear Jonas, I dont feel alright inspite of these comforting sounds you make! (Comforting Sounds – Mew) *pret*  

 

 If I don't make it back from the city
Then it is only because I am drawn away 

For you see, evidently, there's a dark storm come
And the chain on my swing is squeaking like a mouse

Ps: Dear promotor, how about Coldplay?

Start Over

Well, hi! 
*open the curtain, sweep and vacuum the dust*

Almost a year this blog getting lost in the shuffle. And I, I live in my bubble, equipped myself with shells and earphone.

To not catching up with this blog means I surrender being trapped in memory lost. There is no 2012’s flashback written in previous new year’s eve, nor birthday wishes and other itsy-bitsy things that often I wrote in this page as a reminder. I’m bad at remembering the details. But I will try to write it down when the year ends, just like my habit.

And now I’m back with so many unpublished drafts. Where to start?
