Dear, Jakarta

"A traveller travels to search for things he will find when he gets home"

Kira-kira begitu tulisan yang kubaca di majalah di dalam pesawat Lion Air. Sebelum membaca tulisan itu, aku membaca artikel tentang "Pulang". Perjalanan pulang bisa menyenangkan bisa tidak, tergantung apa yang menunggu kita sepulangnya kita. Beberapa saran untuk disyukuri bagi mereka yang sedang bersungut dalam perjalanan pulang, begitu tulis majalah Lion Air ini, "Bersyukurlah, berarti anda punya rumah. Pulang adalah kata yang tidak dikenal mereka yang tidak punya rumah." Fuck you banget deh, majalah. Badan langsung rasanya sakit semua wekekeke....

Here are some things I wanna share.
I only spent like Rp450.000 for that vacation in Bali  and I got a villa worths Rp12.000.000/day . Itu kan uh-may-zinc banget gitu, blog. It must be a good karma. Itu villa keindahannya tingkat dewa Zeus gitu, punya hutan buatan dan langsung tersambung dengan pura rakyat dan Pantai Sanur bagian pinggir alias jauh dari cafe tempat bule-bule membacot. I can't forget the green green grass where I laid my back on, time to time, I rolled like a dog, a bunny, a happy little pet.
Aku rasa itu liburan terindah yang pernah kurasakan. I didn't have any desire to be drunken, to jump into parties. All I wanted, I got. I just wanted to feel so peaceful. I woke up early in the morning and I heard the ocean. Free, yummy, and healthy breakfast, then I jumped to the small bicycle and cycling around...no exact destinaton. I ride and ride and ride so far. There was no pollution, everyone is so friendly, the sun burned my skin a lil bit.
To wear anything I feel comfort in, to be greeted like a family along the way, to see greens and beaches everywhere, that was AWESOME. 

I went everywhere alone, with that bicycle and the red handbag filled with phone (I just needed the cam), Lays, Pocari Sweat, cigar, lighter, and small wallet. Sudah basapeda sampai nyasar-nyasar, balik ke vila cuma ganti baju langsung minta anter Gogo ke Khrishna karena teringat pesanan Ayu Eka Prawitasari yang minta dibeliin celana-celana Bali. Melewati Lapangan Puputan, tampak masyarakat antusias mempersiapkan festival Ogoh-ogoh nanti malam.

Tapi bener loh, bagi orang lain yang gak berumah atau yang diusir dari rumah, pasti tau betapa berharganya kata 'pulang' dan 'rumah'...

It Has Been A Lot!

Wow, where should I start? So my comeback to dance class after a month break (sebulan aje dibahas...gimana lebih? Udah jadi buku keleus :D) had been a wild ride. Right away rehearsal for a performance and coordinating an event at the same time. Berto gave me this job from IDF, where I worked as P.I.C for Dance Writing Workshop. My girl IKAN said why am I taking the job if I am so busy? The answer is clear: I need to pay college. Ikan said she can just lend me money and I can focus on my thesis. God, bless this human that is my best friend. That's very kind and thoughtful of her. Anyway, I took the job so I was running 2 events at the same time. One in Cikini, Central Jakarta and one in SOM, South Tangerang. I became an adept Commuter Line user. I no longer mistaken peron 1 with peron 2 and silly things like that, like not knowing which gate I should enter after scanning my card to enter the peron. Duh. Duh 100x. I wasn't particularly on diet but I really didn't want to ea...

What is happiness? It sounds like a snack.

I would, like usually, open this post by saying "Things are crazy". Yes, I don't know are things really crazy or is it just me. I think it's the latter. Life appears as surprises to me. And I act like a door, opening this tunnel, closing another one. I don't feel dull, and I can't say my days have been dull for they are full with challenges. But I have been so alone. This also sounds weird. Since when that I'm not alone? I always pull myself back from any social event. I hang out alone. I guess the last time I had a good time outside the house/office/campus with another human being was the last Saturday in January, so it's a month ago. It is true that if I just ask, I will get people willing to go with me. But I am the pickiest picky pick ever because most of the times when I don't pick, I get bored with dull conversations, or a view of someone watching his/her phone like there's nothing else to see. So all this time I hang out alone. Mos...
