This is a post that I salvaged from an old blog project (that only had 1 post which is this one). It's kind of funny that I posted a 7-year old writing, haha, but I just don't want to lose it. Reading this post again is kind of funny since tumblr isn't blocked in my country anymore and that I was still using it a few times after I wrote this.
I'm starting a new blog project again right now, hopefully this will go well but let's see where it goes. See you when I see you I guess. :)

This is a quick life update, as well as an opening post for this website.
A lot of things have been going on in my life for the past few monthsâbachelor thesis, graduation, some traveling here and there, and now itâs time for me to sit back and prepare for the next phase of my life. It has been an arduous journey, four years in college: good and bad things happened one after another, met a lot of nice and remarkable people along the way, so many wonderful experiences, but there are also regrets and mistakes. Iâm aware that Iâm still immature and inexperienced after all this time, but hopefully itâs a sign that Iâll learn so much more in the future. That being said, this personal site has been in my to-do list for a long time, and Iâm very happy for finally getting time and energy to do this. Iâm planning to add more stuffs for the website in the near future.
If you donât know already, I actually have a personal blog at Tumblr where Iâve been writing on since junior high school (wow, 10 years already!). However, half a year ago Tumblr was blocked by the national government because⌠it is said to be a place to share mature contents and therefore was deemed unsuitable with the countryâs common values? As a longtime user of course Iâd disagree, but who am I again, right. Of course I can still access it with the help of VPN or free proxy websites, but the fact that I canât access it instantly and directly from my browser is a bit inconvenient and it bothers me a lot. I can rant for a long time why I love writing on the platform and why it shouldnât be blocked but anyways this encouraged me further to make another personal space that is (hopefully) safe from any similar issues.
Finally, because of the fact that Iâm still currently uncommitted to any productive activity (hope itâd end soon so that I can be proper part of society as soon as possible) there are a lot of things to think and decide. I do feel itâs kind of unnerving, because you donât know whatâs coming after you. It will be individual battle. It wonât be an easy ride. But we have to do it anyway. Itâs time :)
I think thatâs it for my first post here. Catch you around!

Suatu kehormatan bisa bertemu. Terima kasih telah mencari. Semoga kita sefrekuensi. Mari kita mulai perjalanan. Jarak membentang diantara kita, tapi semoga kita bisa menemukan sesuatu yang baru dan baik untuk kita di masa depan.Â
Sebuah Tempat
Mimpi-mimpi merengek minta dikejar. Destinasi-destinasi harapan. Semoga sempat dalam kehidupan yang sekarang. Semoga kamu tidak keberatan. Semoga suatu hari nanti aku dan kamu bisa berbahagia di tempat masing-masing dan tidak ada kata selain ucap syukur.  Â
210819
Kita manusia memang tidak pernah puas, tapi semoga kita tetap bisa bahagia hari ini.  Â
Earphone
Akankah suatu hari nanti perasaanku akan bocor seperti penyuara telinga orang yang saat ini duduk di sebelahku? Kala itu tiba mungkin aku harus memilih apakah akan kuredupkan atau kubiarkan saja dengan bangga agar seluruh dunia tahu.Â
Percakapan Sebelum Tiba di Bumi
âNanti bakal berapa lama Mas, di sana?â
                                          âWah, kurang tahu juga ya.â
Kubilang
Ada yang mengintip di jendela
Tapi kau bilang,
Cuma perasaanku saja
Kubilang
Ada yang mengikutiku diam-diam
Tapi kau bilang,
Cuma perasaanku saja
Kubilang
Ada barang-barangku yang mendadak hilang
Tapi kau bilang,
Cuma perasaanku saja
Telah hilang
Judul berita di televisi
Sementara mereka sibuk bertanya
Barangkali ada perasaan
Sebelum kejadian
Dan kau memilih
Untuk tidak bilang...
Setiap kali aku mengatakan itu, kawanku selalu mengingatkanku. Jangan suka sebut itu seenaknya, katanya.
Tapi bagaimana lagi aku mengungkapkan kalau aku benar-benar, sangat, sungguh-sungguh, tidak main-main, dengan segenap hati, betul-betul, dari lubuk yang terdalam, bermaksud demikian?Â
Dalam dunia yang senantiasa bergerak sedemikian cepat, terkadang kita lupa kalau hidup itu bukan balapan. Entah dilalui dengan berjalan, berlari, melompat, atau pun menyeret kaki, semua ini adalah tentang mencapai tujuan. Mudah bagi kita merasa iri pada orang-orang yang mampu berlari kencang atau berjalan begitu melenggang, tapi lupa kalau masing-masing dari kita punya tujuan, halangan, ritme, dan batas kecepatan masing-masing.
Mari terus belajar untuk mencintai diri sendiri dan menghargai apa yang kita punya.

NB. Aslinya mau dikasih judul âRunning (from reality)â tapi kok hasilnya gini ya haha

Lately Iâve been really into 80s Indonesian pop music. Especially those which fall into jazz fusion/jazz funk and progressive rock. The scope of music which Iâve been listening to is still incredibly limited so Iâm looking forward to find more good songs that suit my taste.
Speaking about music, there is one thing that I notice in almost every old music video I watch on Youtube: there must be at least one comment that says: âOld music is betterâ, âThis is true music, modern music is crapâ, âPeople nowadays prefer to listen to trash music instead of good ones like thisâ... etc etc. You get what I mean.Â
There is this feeling of superiority if you listen to music public donât usually do. Not only music, but this also applies to books, movies, basically anything. When something non-mainstream finds its place in a wider audience, there will be people who will appear and say, âIâve been with him/her/them since they were still unpopular!â, or âIâve been reading that before it was made into film!â. (Iâm guilty for both of them). And when there are people who donât know about something that they know, theyâd say: âDude how come you donât know this masterpiece!? Whatâs wrong with your taste!?â
Guys...
Why canât we just appreciate everything. :)
The reason why old music sounds better than the present ones is because we grew up with those songs. They are nostalgic and weâre more familiar with them. Also, good music will forever be good music, and thatâs why some songs become classics. Itâs just that some of the old songs are actually good that itâs still sounds nice years after it was released. As for the argument that todayâs songs are bad, well surprise: they arenât. Lots of good music are being released everyday, itâs just that you havenât found them yet. If your only source of music is radio or television, you might want to look in another place. Also, there are always going to be a few bad apples in a basket, meaning there will always be bad songs in every generation. The reason why we donât know âold bad songsâ is because, well, they are bad and forgotten already!
And you canât really blame people who only listen to mainstream and âbadâ music. There is a matter of taste--which is influenced by lifestyle, financial situation, education, and environment--and access. If someoneâs only access to music is public transportation televisions which only play Perdana Records and New Pallapa songs, can you blame them for not knowing Payung Teduh or Danilla? I had a friend who complained about how dangdut is still popular as ever, and I just thought that dangdut will probably never dies as long as this nation still stand.Â
There are good music everywhere, if only you can find it and appreciate it.
Back to the topic (haha) so thatâs why I doodled this drawing which I named âAneka Pop Kamera Mingguâ inspired by four music programs that once flourished in their own time: Aneka Ria Safari, Selekta Pop, Kamera Ria, and Album Minggu Kita. I only drew this for fun but I was quite satisfied with the result so I posted it here.

Lyric from 1 2
(Unreliable) Indonesian trans by me :)
Dari dulu saya selalu iri pada seniman ataupun orang-orang yang hidup beriringan dengan seni. Yang bagi mereka, seni adalah bagian besar yang integral dari hidup. Dari tangan-tangan dan pikiran mereka, terciptalah karya. Goresan pensil dan pena, untaian kata, alunan nada dan irama; serbuk-serbuk kayu, potongan-potongan kertas, kain, ataupun benang. Pada akhirnya, mata saya hanya bisa menatap, telinga saya mendengar, dan pikiran saya mencoba mengapresiasi setulus-tulusnya; yang kadang-kadang mewujud menjadi kata dan lolos dari mulut. Menjadi komentar yang mungkin cuma selewat dan hilang di udara.
Ada banyak orang-orang yang saya kagumi karya-karyanya. Sebagian besar hanya mampu saya nikmati karya-karyanya dengan bantuan teknologi bernama internet secara bebas. Sebagian tidak tinggal di negara yang sama dengan saya. Namun seiring waktu berjalan, saya terus memeriksa sesekali, seperti menengok teman lama yang baik. Kadang-kadang saya merasa senang jika ternyata mereka masih aktif berkarya--bermusik, menggambar, atau menulis--tapi beberapa kali pula saya mendapati diri kecewa karena orang-orang yang saya kagumi memutuskan untuk berhenti dan tidak bisa saya temui lagi jejaknya di dunia maya. Membuat saya harus berusaha sedikit lebih keras jika ingin mendengar tentang kabar mereka saat ini. Haruskah saya terbang dan mencari? Ataukah saya terima saja dan berharap pada sepersekian kecil kemungkinan suatu hari kami bisa bertemu?Â
Haruskah saya melangkah lebih jauh dengan menyisihkan sedikit uang dan memburu karya-karya mereka? Pilihan ini belum memungkinkan bagi saya saat ini karena saya belum punya penghasilan sendiri. Selain itu, saya selalu bertanya-tanya, jika saya dapat bertemu mereka suatu hari nanti, apa yang harus saya katakan? âMaaf, kita tidak pernah bertemu, tapi saya ngefans.â Begitukah?
Tapi saya benar-benar berharap dapat bertemu dengan beberapa diantara mereka suatu hari nanti. Sejumlah orang yang menurut saya masih mungkin teraih. Mereka orang-orang biasa, bahkan ada yang seumuran dengan saya, namun karya-karyanya saya apresiasi setulus-tulusnya. Keberanian mereka untuk mengarungi hidup dengan seni adalah sesuatu yang selalu saya impikan. Kepekaan mereka pada estetika dan kehidupan kadang adalah sesuatu yang saya irikan. Terkadang muncul keinginan untuk melakukan hal yang sama, namun untuk saat ini, cukup bagi saya untuk sekedar jadi penikmat dan pengapresiasi.
Mungkin untuk waktu yang lama, atau malah selamanya, saya akan merasa berterima kasih pada orang-orang yang karya-karyanya telah menginsipirasi saya. Yang mengajak saya untuk berpikir dan berimajinasi. Yang membuat saya tertawa dan terkesima. Yang membuat saya bersemangat menceritakannya pada orang lain. Yang membuat saya terinspirasi.
I've just recently finished a certain manga and found myself infatuated with it. I enjoy reading manga--really, 'enjoy' doesn't really cut it--correction, I love it. Manga is a very dear existence to me, just like how people love books or films. I can easily drown myself and gulp down hundreds of chapters and thousands of pages in one sitting. That being said, there are still a lot of things I haven't read yet. But after finishing this certain manga, which title I will tell you very soon, I came to realize that I have several titles that have this atmosphere I quite like. I don't know the technical term for it, but for this purpose, I'll call it "the deafening silence."
deafening silence. a conspicuous and striking lack of noise or sound
I'm writing this post because I realize that I know these titles by heart, and even though they are not uber popular like some major shonen or shoujo works, they just clicked with me. I read these mangas' reviews and not all of them are stellar. The mangas are certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but I just want to write about it. (Click the manga titles for more info.)
1. Undercurrent by Toyoda Tetsuya
This is the manga I talked about. I came across the title when I was looking for some reading that has quiet main protagonist in it. And boy does it not disappoint. Instead, I remembered about Please Look After Mom by Shin-Kyungsook when I read the earlier part of the story. Also it turns out this is not my first time reading Toyoda Tetsuya's work, as I have read his Goggle years ago. It's a seinen manga which explains the lack of effects and embellishments in the artwork but it maintains the lightness (for the lack of better word) of the manga. It's light, but it has a considerable depth, is how I want to describe this manga and its atmosphere. It has many subtle moments where there is no dialogue and the expression of the characters speaks for itself. This is definitely going to my mental list of favorite mangas.
2. Coelacanth by Shimotsuki Kayoko
I ran across this title years ago, and by a chance. I really like the heavy atmosphere and its stark contrast with the characters' design and their dialogues. The design is typical to that of a shoujo manga, but the way the mangaka focuses on expressions and the uses of tones sets it apart (in my eyes at least). It's definitely not a manga that entertains you, but it sure got me chills when I first read it, and I love it. I also like her Mayonaka no Ariadone, which has the same atmosphere as this one.
3. Kizu by Kiyohara Hiro
Also ran into this by chance. The art is very dark for a shounen, much less the panelling and use of tones. Her other works that I've read is Tsumitsuki and Another (I didn't finish the latter), and they also have the same flair as this one. The art is simple but vivid and intense, I remember being unsettled while reading this.Â
4. Eternal Sabbath by Souryo Fuyumi
I think I found out about this manga years ago when I wanted to read some quality seinen, which it is. The main attraction of this manga is its complex plot and the artwork does a good job in complementing the story. I haven't read her another famous work, Mars, that I think I had actually picked in the past but dropped it later because I wasn't interested. Anyway, this is definitely one of the must-read manga for seinen.
5. Bitou Lollipop by Iketani Rikako
As usual, I think I found this manga by chance. I'm quite fond of it, surprisingly, considering this one is a shoujo. One aspect that I like of this manga is the comical expressions and behavior of the main protagonist. Although the main protagonist is a funny, foolish person, she can be profound and decisive at times, which I like. The profound, subtle yet expressive moments of the main character is what I dig in this manga.
As I stated before, I mentioned the titles above because they have this 'dark', 'motionless', 'stillness', 'quiet' atmosphere which often can be more unsettling than not. That is the reason I didn't mention wonderful titles such as Watashitachi no Shiawase na Jikan (must read #1), Mushishi, Bonnouji, Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, My Girl, and Otoyomegatari; they are good and I'd recommend you to read them; but they didn't fit the image I had for this particular list. That being said, I think I've written all I want to read for this post, so this is it. See you in another post!

While thinking about what I'm going to write on this post, I realized that I didn't keep my promise to write a post in the beginning of 2017 last year. I also didn't write any resolution, so I have nothing to check this year. If you didn't catch it already, I always wrote a post to start off a new year, and if I'm not wrong I had done it for 2015 and 2016 but not 2017. So here I am, this will be a bit long!
2017 was like a movie...
which has no climax. Nothing dramatic happens in my life in 2017. No dramatic events, no climaxes, nothing. It's like that one short moment of quietness in a movie. It just flew by.
However, even though nothing big has happened, I feel like I've been learning a lot this past year. I experienced many things that weighed on me a lot that makes it a little difficult for me to write this. But let me recall things that have happened in my life in 2017:
Volunteering
In the middle of the year, I decided to resign from the organization I've been actively working in for the past two years. I decided to put a stop in volunteering and give full attention to my studies. Even though I feel like I'm always doing and giving what I can there, I feel like there are a lot of things to regret. Especially because there are times when I feel like I can do more, but I didn't. During volunteering, I had both fun moments and awful times. Despite that, I really enjoyed my time there. Although I have so many weaknesses and lacking so much in many department, I'm really thankful for the opportunity to be a part of an amazing and wonderful team.
Stopping activities
For the past few years I've always been able to have fun by doing activities in student organization or volunteering as I've said before. However, when I'm starting my 7th semester, I put all of them to stop as I thought I should be focused on my studies more. Sadly, it didn't go the way I wanted to. Even though I promised myself that I would be working on things that I wanted to do--let's say, improving my technical skills--I wasn't able to do that. You know. Most of the time I'll just procrastinating or do things that have nothing to do with my goals, like reading manga or watch tv shows. Although I was happy when I did that but looking back... I've been wasting a lot of time...
I feel like I haven't been able to achieve great things this year. So that's a thing in itself.
Failing
On a more serious note, I tried to graduate early this year. It turns out I wasn't able to. So right now I'm extending my study one more semester. But as I go through last few days of the semester and see my friends preparing for their final presentation, ready to graduate, I can't help but feeling envious. I don't regret it because I have tried my best, it's just a bit regretful because if I graduate early that is something that certainly will make my parents and a lot of other people happy too but I wasn't able to do it, that's why I feel a bit weird. Because I thought like I have disappointed a lot of people.
So I talked to one-or two-seniors that I'm close to and they gave me good advices. I'm thankful for them and planning to do it as soon as possible. I want to write down some notes about what I feel, what I want to do and what kind of person I want to be. But you know, seeing my friends busy with their lives because they have finished one important phase while I haven't makes me feel a bit unsure about myself. Because you don't know if you're doing good or bad. Personally I don't really feel bad, but because everyone is doing really well, I feel like I have to do well too.
I don't know, I just feel a bit under accomplished this year.
Art
One thing that makes me like this year a little bit more is the fact that I was able to embrace my creative side more than before. I was able to draw more and I really like that fact. I hope I can draw more this year because, really, I realized that I love drawing since I was very little and hopefully I'll be able to draw for a long time! Drawing is like channeling my negative energy outside (that's why they look gloomy). While I'm still very lacking of course I'm looking forward improving myself in drawing.
Music
I discovered a lot of new music (for me) in 2017!! For J-Pop I listened to Sekai no Owari (fav tracks: MAGIC, Mermaid Rhapsody), SPITZ (Sora mo Toberu Hazu, Robinson), Mr.Children (365 Hi, HANABI, Sign, Tomorrow Never Knows), UNISON SQUARE GARDEN (Sugar Song and Bitter Steps), Kenshi Yonezu (Haiiro to Ao), Sheena Ringo (Jinsei wa Yume Darake), Sukima Switch (Akatsuki no Uta, Kanade), and a lot of other things. For K-Pop I listened to Wanna One (and Produce 101 songs), Akdong Musician (their songs are always gold), Oh My Girl, BTOB, LOONA, APRIL, and others. I also listened to OSTs which animes I watch this year: Noragami Aragoto, Osomatsu-San, Shirobako, Sakura Quest, Kobayashi-san no Maid Dragon. I also listened to The Beatles (and understand why they are so popular) and many other songs that I like.
So... thatâs 2017 for me!
My resolutions this year:
1. Graduate (need no explanation)
2. Get employed/continue study in good university (amen)
3. Read/draw/write more (maybe 1 book/drawing/blog post a month)
4. Exercise more and eat till heart's content (I discovered my love for sweets)
5. Learn new skill (still don't know what)

Akhir-akhir ini saya sering mendapati postingan-postingan viral yang kontroversial di berbagai saluran media sosial, yang selalu mengundang perdebatan siapa saja yang membacanya. Katakanlah misalnya, aksi sekumpulan golongan yang merasa harus membela umat suatu agama karena merasa dilecehkan dengan berkumpul di sebuah lapangan besar dengan atribut-atribut dan panji-panji yang khas. Atau sekelompok mahasiswa yang mengatasnamakan mahasiswa seluruh Indonesia yang memilih untuk unjuk rasa dan akhirnya berbuntut panjang dengan ditahannya sebagian dari mereka di kantor polisi. Atau para kaum penganut teori-teori yang diragukan kebenarannya seperti: PKI yang mulai bangkit dan mengancam Indonesia, konspirasi yahudi, anti-vaksin, hingga flat earth.Â
Saya berusaha menuliskan paragraf diatas seobjektif dan senetral mungkin, meskipun menurut hemat saya beberapa topik di atas bahkan bukanlah topik yang pantas untuk diperdebatkan. Bahkan most of the time saya akan mikir: ?????? Are you serious?????? Dan saya akan heran ketika melihat orang-orang yang tidak sependapat dengan saya. Karena, pikir saya, isnât it obvious??????
Saya tentu menyadari, bahwa umat manusia terus berkembang, dengan semua teknologi dan permasalahannya yang tidak pernah berhenti berevolusi. Bangsa kita pun masih sangat muda, baru 72 tahun. Mungkin untuk negara-negara tua seperti Inggris dan Prancis, kita mungkin masih seperti anak-anak: masih bego-begonya. Peer kita masih banyak.
Masalah-masalah inilah yang biasanya jadi pemicu terbitnya postingan-postingan yang saya singgung sebelumnya. Biasanya, postingan macam ini akan menuai berbagai komentar dari warganet aka. netizen: mulai dari yang setuju, tidak setuju-tapi masih menyampaikan argumen logis, tidak setuju-tapi malah bego-begoin yang ngepost terlepas apakah si empu post memang layak dibego-begoin, yang ngepost stiker dan meme-entah karena iseng atau memang pengen ngompor-ngomporin, dan orang yang sibuk ngumpulin meme yang berlimpah. Akan tetapi, semua postingan dan komentar ini, terlepas dari bahasan dan sentimennya, semua punya satu kesamaan: semua ngerasa paling benar.
Yep. Bahkan saya sendiri merasa pendapat saya diatas benar. Meski dengan adanya segala kemajuan teknologi saat ini--ketika semua informasi bisa dengan mudah kita akses hanya dari genggaman tangan--tidak serta merta menjadikan kita orang yang bijak, melainkan sebaliknya. Kita merasa paham, paling tahu, dan mengerti akan sesuatu, ketika mungkin ilmu yang kita punya hanya berasal dari artikel-artikel pendek, video kurang dari belasan menit, dan opini orang yang kita temui di internet. Walau begitu, dengan bangganya kita maju ke panggung âOpini Netizenâ dengan tulisan gede di kepala (seandainya keliatan): POKOKNYA INI PENDAPAT SAYA, DAN PENDAPAT SAYA YANG PALING BENER. Kalo ga setuju, sini ngopi dan cangkruk ama saya dulu! Dan akhirnya semua ngerasa paling paham politik, paling ngerti agama, paling tahu segalanya, dan paling pintar. Terlepas dari apakah argumennya benar atau tidak.
Kenapa saya akhirnya menulis postingan ini pun, ya karena akhirnya saya gagal paham. Awalnya saya terbiasa tidak terlalu ambil pusing akan post-post yang seperti itu. Lalu, postingan-postingan yang berkaitan dengan atribut saya sebagai mahasiswa pun muncul, dan saya mulai mikir-mikil. Lalu banyak juga postingan-postingan yang isinya cenderung memihak suatu tokoh atau golongan. Awalnya, saya merasa saya punya common sense, berpikir âahelah gini aja gatau???plsudontsayâ. Tapi akhirnya saya pun sampai pada satu titik dimana saya bahkan ga yakin sama pendapat saya sendiri, sadar akan kekurangan ilmu saya, namun juga tidak setuju dengan pendapat netizen-netizen muda yang saya yakin ilmunya tidak terlalu dalam. Jadi???
Fenomena ini membuat saya ingat akan peribahasa: air beriak tanda tak dalam. Atau: tong kosong nyaring bunyinya. Atau: padi semakin berisi semakin menunduk, which means orang yg berilmu bakal lebih selo. Tapi tahu begitu, mana tahan juga dong melihat postingan-postingan yang menggugah akal dan pikiran untuk berkata dengan nada tak percaya:Â âwhaaaaatttttt???? bagaimana bisa kamu berpikir seperti ini??????? :â))))) lolâ.Â
Padahal alangkah baiknya kalau banjir informasi ini disikapi dengan elegan--tapi sayangnya, tidak semua orang mendapatkan pendidikan yang sama, pengetahuan yang sama, dan punya cara pandang yang sama. Semua orang juga berhak menarik kesimpulannya masing-masing. Ini juga jadi tugas pemimpin bangsa berikutnya (baca: kita :) ).
Sebagai anak muda, marilah kita terus belajar, dengan tidak mudah merasa paling tahu dan gampang nyinyir, sambil terus memberikan kebermanfaatan. Tsahh.
Untuk menutup postingan ini, sebagai bagian dari generasi meme, hereâs one of my favorites.
nb. ditulis karena lagi suntuk ngerjain tugas. jadinya panjang juga ya hehe
nb2. maha benar netizen dengan segala komentarnya :)
