tell me

please tell me a soothing story about old bridges over ancient rivers, 
about the dreamy upside down world reflected on the dark water,
about the silent festivity,
or the million reasons I cannot be me.

Durga Doesn't Have Laundry Problems, and We Shouldn't Either!

The first thing I did when I woke up at 8 am this morning was getting a glass of cold coke from the fridge and finish it. Hahah! No fasting today. This poster promotes that any girl who drink this soda beverage would look this awesome. Even the puppy has that dreamy grin on its face . I hadn't feel too fantastic throughout the day so house chores were done sparsely.The only highlight of the day was me discovering the wonder of human made technology inside a 500 rupiah plastic sachet. EUREKAAA!!! I am the kind of person that let her laundry piled up into a mountain, for not wanting to waste detergent suds and buckets of water just to wash three pieces of clothes everyday. Also, I don't really like doing laundry. I think washing machines are awesome and whoever invented them must be promoted and canonized into sainthood, or at least be given a Nobel prize . Seriously. The last week I had noticed that the small hill in the back porch that is my laundry pile was reaching a re...

Touch down! Mukanya gak menyiratkan drama mabok enterwind subuh buta Kurang asiknya transportasi di Bali adalah, susah cari angkot. Sudah ada sistem busway yang bernama Trans Sarbagita, dan informasi rute-rutenya bisa dicari online. Berhubung kondisi cranky dan spanneng karena masuk angin dan lelah batin, saya memilih untuk naik Uber dari bandara ke Kuta. Baru kemudian dari Kuta ke Ubud naik shuttle bus. Nggak langsung dari Bandara ke Ubud karena kami mendarat sekira jam 8:30 WITA dan jam check-in ke penginapan adalah jam 2 siang, agak males nungguin lama buat check-in. Selain itu mabuk akibat masuk angin harus diredakan dulu. 'Masir dulu Jadi, kami nongkrong makan dulu, baru kemudian pergi ke kantor Perama Kuta. Kenapa Perama, karena ini adalah juga perjalanan semi nostalgila saya. Atau bisa juga karena saya kudet sih, soalnya tahunya cuma Perama. Hahahak. Sesudah beli tiket untuk perjalanan jam 12, saya dan si monster kecil leyeh-leyeh sebentar, kemudian jalan kaki ...

Now I remember why I don't really like sahur at 3-4 am. Am too lazy to chew. Had nasi padang too early at 11 pm, the bread toast was shared between me and J. I was still up until half past three this morning, and there are still left over of the toast, so I finished it off. It was just one slice, but it took like five minutes for me to chew and swallow. Tonight I would probably had my sahur as late as 2 am. Later than that I would be too lazy to eat anything. Yeah, it doesn't sound right does it? Me, lazy to eat anything. Haha. I woke up at ten this morning. This is quite early by average. I did the house chores while updating news through plurknation. Internet connection is as slow as ever. And it's a hot hot day. So hot and dry, I resorted to the wonder of olive oil for my parched parched skin. I skipped my hair because I planned to chop it off today. Since I planned to write something about batik, after house chores I kept myself awake for another two hours or so, e-...
