Turning 23

A birthday gift from my friend in Philippines
What comes into your mind while thinking about birthday? I mean, your birthday. Many people think about getting older, more responsibilities, a new chapter of their life or may be .... any else? Well, actually for me, if you ask me about it, certainly I will wrap up the things back in the previous year and try to collect the beautiful memories and cut the bad at the past (exactly after I got the lesson-learned things from it). I can go along with the term "new chapter" but for me it will be more suitable to put the word "next" instead of "new", because actually we all continue our lives after it. Yeah, of course.

Collecting the things back in the previous year is somehow a good attempt. It boosts my inner energy that will encourage my mind to do positive activities along with the previous things I have done. Here they are:

1. Successful thesis defense
For about 1 hour and a half, I had to present my thesis. That was such a long one because in the room, I presented and explained the things as the result. That was very relieving when I got the things done after the thesis defense. Luckily, I got A!
Me at the center and my lovely lecturers
2. Powerful stage performance
Along with the schedule of thesis defense, I gotta deal with the directing thingy. I and my friends had a farewell performance before going to USA for cultural mission. Precisely two days after my thesis defense, I had to prepare the performance. It combined theater, dances and musics in one performing arts. I had to make it clear that beside directing the acts of the actor, I had to remake the script in order to be more involving emotion and culture. That night is very powerful, I can feel the nuance of the performance. I just can feel it.

Thank God in this age of 23, you fulfill it with such atmosphere; such warm blessings from my parents, aunty, uncle, siblings, and friends from around the world. The companion are yet to come, but I am really happy with all the things I have been through from March 29, 2014 to March 29, 2014. "No matter what, actually you are all alone-at the end" - a nice words, of course such a reminder, from Patricia to her daughter, Holly in P.S: I Love You. Oh... and there is an article about 20 things 20-Year-Olds Don't Get. I would love to give some advice for myself from that article. Please do read it, if you belong to 20-year-old people :)

Kahlil Gibran: Jiwa Penari Ada di Sekujur Tubuhnya

Photo Credit: Putri Soesilo Di sebuah malam, seorang penari wanita dan pemusik dari Birkasha datang ke istana pangeran. Mereka diizinkan untuk masuk. Mulailah penari itu menari dengan iringan bunyi alat musik kecapi, siter dan seruling. Beberapa tarian yang dibawakan adalah tarian pedang, tarian api, dan tarian lembing. Tak lama kemudian, ia turut membawakan tarian angkasa dan bintang, disambung dengan tarian kembang yang mempesona. Semua tarian telah selesai dibawakan oleh sang penari. Kemudian ia berdiri menghadap sang pangeran dan membungkuk memberi hormat. Pangeran tersebut bertanya," Wanita cantik, putri yang anggun nan ceria, dari mana engkau menyerap seluruh ilham kesenianmu? Bagaimana pula engkau dapat menguasai segala unsur irama serta puisi?" Penari tersebut kemudian membungkuk lagi. Selang kemudian ia menjawab,  "Baginda yang mulia dan berdaulat, saya tidak dapat menjawab pertanyaan Baginda. Hal yang saya ketahui hanyalah:  Jiwa ahli f...

Paulo Coelho in Aleph: Bridging The Past & The Future!

Paulo Coelho is tremendously a good writer. His writings about The Zahir always inspires me enough about relationship between two people, especially about love. I can guarantee, his book readers can go along with me. A journey of life is a good term to simplify all the moments happened in whole life. You see sometimes a person can be in the top or peak of life. Sometimes, he or she feels like there is a gap between the expectation and the reality. Somehow, we miss something in our life then we desperately don't know what it is actually. Until, we somehow go crazy about it and feel guilty for everything because we just stuck in the place we stand and go nowhere. This time, by Aleph, Paulo Coelho tried to persuade us to just simply decide and move on. In the time where we just think, when we just keep mourning, let the present can analyze what the best act to change the past and bring a change to future. Well, though we have tried to delete the actions we did at the pas...

Barca, Canda dan Tawa

Lama tidak mengepos postingan mengenai jalan-jalan. Mencoba mengingat beberapa hal saat dua tahun lalu berada di kota yang hampir setiap orang ingin kunjungi, Barcelona. Sebuah tempat yang senantiasa memberikan alunan cerita tersendiri. Tapi kali ini bukan hanya tentang Barcelona, tapi juga Calella, sebuah kota dengan nude beach yang biasa disambangi oleh orang- orang. Berawal dari perjalanan kota sebelumnya, Les Preses. Perpindahan dari satu tempat ke tempat yang lain memberikan aura tersendiri. Spanyol adalah tempat seru untuk menghabiskan musim panas. Kalau italia terkenal dengan wisata bangunan bersejarah, tidak jauh beda, di spanyol ada sagrada familia dan beberapa tempat menatik lainnya. Laut adalah andalan Spanyol, dengan laut mediteran nan ..... indah. Mendapatkan hotel bintang empat di Calella adalah surga tersendiri. Makanan spanyol adalah lazis jika bisa kusebut demikian. Paella, dan segudang makanan khas pantai ini akan memanjakan lidah. Sepanjang...
