Happy happy happy birthday my Odew and Onni :D

Two important person in my life having their moment today. First my brother, my only brother. The most handsome boy alive in my family. He's now 9 years old. Be good my dear. Lots of love, pray and wishes for you. :)

Second is my Onni. Titik, my super best friend, the one to whom i shared my college life with. Been together for almost three years and not one day past without sharing to each other.

Ah, this day i spend it for finding perfect gift for my brother. One shop to another, i was finally found a perfect skateboard for him. Its so nice to make him a surprise. To see how he cutely embarrassed as he blown the candle, to see how he excited to open the gift and to see his smile as he finished opening and saw whats inside  of it.

God, its such a really nice day.

Thank you, and wish You hear all my-our prayer. Especially for this two birthday person ! :D 

Bandung oh Bandung..

who doesn't love Bandung?

Well, after this mid exam, me and some of my friend experience Bandung together. We planned to visit Dessy's ( Mamih ) house. Such a very short trip, only a day and night. No much to tell except i had a very good time. :)

Old man say, the young generation is already forget our culture. Well, old man..you're gonna say it differently if you see this annual event in my college, Festival Budaya Nusantara.

Several year before, this festival is named Heritage Organda Expo. Well, name can change but the trade mark of this event still remain. Long before this day, the committee choose Putra Putri Nusantara to compete in this final day. They're judged based on their performance and their knowledge. As you know, my college Sekolah Tinggi Akuntansi Negara is consist of student from all over Indonesia. They gather here and made their own club. Thus, this club will send their best female and male to join this competition. And for this year, the trophy goes to Lampung Club. Congratulation :)

Not only that, the club is also compete to get a stand for introducing their own culture. Each year, the club is always changing. Due to the lack of space, only a club with a strong vision and unique performance that'll have a stand for their own. Usually they decorate the stand with the characteristic of their place. They also sell food and some handicraft from where they come from. 

Sewaktu temen ngajak nonton film ini, saya sempet tanya ceritanya kayak gimana. Temen saya cuma jawab "ada 12 distrik, tiap tahun ngirimin sepasang remaja buat ikut hunger game" agak ga ngerti waktu itu. Tapi pas nonton, Woaaaaa...totally love it !

Keren banget banget banget. Rasanya sama kaya, waktu pertama liat Harry Potter atau Twilight dulu. Dan karena di film itu akhirnya agak gantung, saya ke toko buku deh buat beli ini. Dan akhirnya....tetep gantung. Ternyata hai ternyata, The Hunger Games itu buku pertama dari trilogi The Hunger Games. Buku kedua itu Mocking Jay dan buku ketiga Catching Fire.

Dan sama seperti Harry Potter dan Twilight. Film aja udah keren, baca bukunya...beuh, lebih keren lagi!

Ceritanya tentang Panem, sebuah negara bekas reruntuhan Amerika Utara. Negara itu terbagi menjadi 12 distrik dengan ibukota Capitol. Dulu sebetulnya ada 13 distrik, tapi distrik ke 13 ini memberontak ke Capitol dan The Hunger Games ini sebenarnya peringatan untuk distrik lain untuk tidak memberontak. Capitol yang diisi oleh orang-orang kaya seakan ingin mengatakan "Setiap tahun kami ambil 2 anak mu untuk dipertarungkan sampai mati dan kalian tidak bisa melakukan apa-apa tentang itu". 

Nah, setiap tahunnya remaja 12-18 tahun akan dikumpulkan untuk kemudian dipilih secara acak untuk mengikuti The Hunger Games. Sialnya Prim, adik dari tokoh utama kita Katniss, terpilih untuk mengikuti The Hunger Games. Karena tidak tega, akhirnya Katniss mengajukan diri menjadi tributes untuk menggantikan adiknya. Maka perjalanan Katniss dan Peeta, remaja lelaki yang juga menjadi tributes dari distrik 12 dimulai.

Seru dan menegangkan. Ad pertarungan, ada cinta segitiga, ada persahabatan, lengkap. Worth to read banget ! Gak sabar baca buku selanjutnya dan film selanjutnya :D

Katsu, Ramen, Soup Miso, Udon..Sounds familiar eh? 

Hehehehe, Are you a japaness food lover reader?

A plus point for this restaurant, they serve a free welcome snack. You could take it as much as you like. But i dont like the snack, somehow its too oily. No good for health :D

I didn't order ramen because..it doesn't suit me well. I prefer indomie insted, haha. So i ordered Chicken Ebimaki and Konyaku Freshly as a dessert. Chicken Ebimaki is, a small place contain veggie and chicken teriyaki plus another plate of Ebimaki and salad, and served with rice. It costs Rp16.365 exclused tax. I love the fact that there's a veggie inside but they served it (again) too oily. Huh :( . Konyaku Freshly is like a glass of jelly, longan and fresh syrup, yummy. It costs Rp9.091 exclude tax.

My friends ordered several ramen, i tasted it and its fine. But still didn't fit my appetite. Oh yaa, i went there with Uma, Ratih and Titik.

Oke, after all this restaurant is worth to visit. They provided a cozy place and frugal package beside their a-bit-expensive menu. Their service is a bit slow but i believe its because of the high number of visitor, newly open remember? 

But still, hoka-hoka bento is way better, for me. Just my personal opinion. hehehe

So, who wanna enjoy some japaness food? :D

P.S. Postingan ini sudah diedit demi menghargai rekan-rekan yang saat ini sudah memutuskan berhijab. Terima kasih :)

Apa pun yang kau katakan, bagaimanapun kau menolaknya, cinta akan tetap berada di sana, menunggumu mengakui keberadaannya. 

Bagi kita, senja selalu sempurna; bukankah sia-sia jika menggenapkan warnanya? Seperti kisahmu, kau dan dia, juga kisahku, aku dan lelakiku. Tak ada bagian yang perlu kita ubah. Tak ada sela yang harus kita isi. Bukankah takdir kita sudah jelas? 

"Aku mencintaimu," katamu. Mengertikah kau apa artinya? Mengertikah kau kalau kita tak pernah bisa berada dalam cerita yang sama, dengan senja yang sewarna? 

Takdir kita sudah jelas. Kau, aku, tahu itu.

Es Campur Nugraha.

If you visited Sukabumi, make sure you try this legendary Es Campur. The name 'Nugraha' taken from the location they sell, Nugraha Alley.

This place is already open since i was a kid. I remember it clearly how i amazed by the Ice Shaving. Like a magical tool for me. And you know, the machine they used today is still the same with the one that amazed back then. Super Wow.

For a bowl of pleasure, you only need to pay Rp5.000,00 (if im not mistaken, actually i was confuse whether is 5000 or 6000 n_n' ).  Usually, there's a bakso seller in this alley, but i went there too late so the bakso was already out of stock. :(

This event took place at BBPAT buliding. Since i went there quite late, i thought its already finished but lucky me, the event still on though i missed almost all the show. 

If you wanna know more about this event, go visit  Shevani's blog 

The first thing that caught my eyes was..the coffee stall. It is a local brand named Villa Coffee. Its actually nice to see the big-yet-old coffee grinder and the way Barista made the coffee. 

And then there's a small photo exibition by FOTOKAMI. Such a good work :)

Some stall is closed already, but this two still remain, Batu Aji and Horn Handicraft. The horn handicraft is actually familiar to me. Back then, my grandfather made this too. In fact, the one that i saw today was my grandfather's neighbor. 

To our surprise, i met some friends here. There's A Valdi, Alien, Ferdian and Teh Syifa. After some talk, and after enjoying some song, i left this place. 

And, its time to go home..:)

Aku sendiri tak percaya dengan cinta pada pandangan pertama. Tapi kau adalah pengecualian. Kau muncul di sudut mata seperti sesuatu yang wajar adanya, menghangatkan wajahku seperti cahaya matahari pagi. Suaramu bergelenyar lembut seperti belaian angin sore. Seluruh indraku bereaksi waspada, kau adalah godaan yang tak bisa disangkal begitu saja.

Big Thanks to Iye, a.k.a Restu Indria Sopyan yang sudah baik banget ngerelain bukunya saya selesein duluan. If you read this, then yeay ! Now i write down your name haha :3

Ceritanya tentang Viola, si penyuka awan yang ketemu Igor si pilot kece. They fall in love, they separated and they finally meet again. Yang unik dari buku ini, sesuai dengan covernya, adalah karena Viola si karakter utama suka sekali sama awan. Saking sukanya, dia jadi bisa mengkait-kaitkan awan tertentu dengan kejadian yang bakal menimpa dia. Good thing is, saya jadi agak tau istilah-istilah per-awan-an. hehe

Bukunya enak dibaca, rasanya mengaliiiiiiiiir gitu. Penokohannya juga bagus. Cuma saya agak kecewa dengan endingnya. Like..." hah? thats it? " . Banyak yang menggantung, banyak yang jadi dipertanyakan. Akhirnya itu..semacam 'maksa'.

Lah masa iya gitu ya.. yang cowok kecelakaan, disangka meninggal..tau-tau balik tanpa alasan yang jelas. Kan aneh zzz -_____-. Coba endingnya lebih diperjelas, bakal lebih mantep deh bukunya. 

Tipe semi-fairy-tale sih sebenernya, but yaa..its good enough to spend your non-productive time. hehe

Perasaanku tak sama lagi setelah kepergianmu. Kau membuatku mencandu. 

Kau membuatku merindu.

Kau.

So.. i went to this restaurant named D'green. Its on the north of Sukabumi, at Selabintana Street. I went here with dad and sister due to my father meeting. Such a cozy place. Its a perfect place to throw a birthday party, to hold a family reunion, to do a Saturday night date, to simply chit-chat with friends or to make a business meeting, like my father did. Dominated in green, like the name, makes this place..standout.
