talk about the sucker leader of the nation and the future looking a rather gloomy with some friends. dunno, suddenly after talking about that i missed K and it's like i want to talk a lot with him. but hell, he's busy today. maybe tomorrow i'll see him.

another cup of jakarta

went to ika's place this afternoon. at last...hehehe, meet the queen of zines again:) did shoppin in her distro. man, such a collection of zines she got, damnnn....and all the good books. alfred came too around 3 pm i think and suddenly he decided to get a tatto done. asep, a tatto artist was there and that makes him spontaneusly made a tatto done. a nice cool tribal one. man, i want one again. shit. it's soo damn addictive.

anyway, after finishing the tatto and waiting for the rain to finish, we went too istora senayan to see the book fair. meet bowo there for a while. nearly 9 we decide to split up and i tried to catch the last bus to bogor.

taking a motorcycle ride in jakarta is sooo diferent, weird feeling as well. finally i can manage the people i mention above. but i miss yogya soo much already. nice too see ika, alfred (he's getting bigger and cuter in the same time) and bowo. i wish i had more time to spend with them, one by one. maybe another time, another place and another situation. for now, i guess i have enough of jakarta. i want to go home, miss a lot of people already.

the sin city: jakarta

i once wrote, jakarta: a dehumanization proses.

i just spend 3 days in jakarta. the first day i spend in tim, talking with eka at first (about his novel and all other gossips), meet linda for a while, binhad and then alex came (udah jadi dosen tetap anjinggg, hahahahha) with a tired face. he start to looks like his huskies. while waiting for lisa to came (after finishing her badminton racket buying and picking), the day was gone and it was night already. shitttt. i didn't even change my sitting position. lisa came and we decide to go to the front, looking for some beers of course.
meet tony and hedy and taufan in lisa's place. stay there for the night and watch the pirated dvd - van helsing. love their dogs, bola and blup.

woke up at 10 the next day, meet hikmat at aksara at 12? spend the time in his office talking about books marketing and distribution. the best part was seeing his goddamn books collections. helllllll, i pick some to copied and send to yogya. got some free books from his publishers, this is what i love about people working in a publishing house, hahahahaha.
went to istora in the afternoon, meet agung there. see some fucking good old books but mannnn the priceeeeeeeee???????? and it was all lemhanas collection, yes baby, the LEMBAGA PERTAHANAN NASIONAL!!! damn they got all the good books that was confisticated for the last 40 years i guess. all the books that i need for my paper later, all thereeeee and soooo ratusan ribu rupiahh!!!!
decide to get out from there(before going insane with the book prices) and dissapeared with agung. see randu at the automall. she had a bowling competition with her office people. the night last to see her bowling and talking with agung.
slept at randu's place after a good night long talk. i haven talk like that for ages and i feel good. thank's gal!;)

see my parents the next day in wtc and hang out with them. went to plaza senayan. got some undies and women secret's pijamas (love them!):P

just got home now. on the way home, my ex called, one of our friend had just died and shit i feel so weird i can't even think what i say. i'll go to jakarta again tomorrow. like sin, jakarta is the place you will visit again and again. no matter what.

moving, moving people!

been a while since i write anything in my personal blog, i even can't remember the old address. can't be bother to maintain it before and always wanting to change the layout but doesn't have the time to do it. oh well, i'll just start a new one.

i'm in bogor now, staying in my parent's home. feeling weird to be back home, last time it was in march. it's my mom's bday today and she wants us to have dinner together somewhere. but tomorrow i have to get out from here. go to jakarta for a few days, stayin somewhere, meet the people i have to meet this week and hang out or even get drunk.

my brother is going to some goddamn-bloody-expensive college soon and this house is gonna be so damn quiet. but yeah, i wouldn't be staying in this city anymore i don't think. a visit okay, stayin? no way! it's so crowded now, too many fuckin pollution and all the malls are everywhere, it's suffocating to go outside the house.

i'll go home to yogyakarta next week. pay the new house rent and move out from my old rented house. i kinda missed my bf, but somehow missed K too. i even wrote a short story about it XD. hahaha!

the semester is over, but got some load of work to do and yeah arranging, decorating the new house! i got 3 months of what so called vacation, but i guess a real vacation will be in september, waiting for fauzan's to finish his kkn and go to bali with some people.

i just finish eka's new novel "lelaki harimau". the story is much more simpler, the ending even more simpler than i though. i love the beautiful ending, bloody but so poetic. his novel before,the "cantik itu luka" is more complex and quiet crazier i thought. some words in this new novel a bit annoyed me but it doesn't bother me for continuing reading it. my friend in bandung said that the book is totally different than before and he felt weird reading it. hmm..., i notice a lot of different style blend in his writing, but it actually distinct it from all his writing before this. i gotta say this to eka tomorrow, we might see each other and watch a book fair in senayan.

a bit bored but can't stop to go offline, thanks to my brother matrix card. hehheheh:P
