I read “Kiss Me In New York” last Christmas and ever since, I just found out that two people stuck in the airport because of winter storm near the holiday is my favorite background for a fiction books. I love planes, I love winter, perfect match. But just like “Kiss Me In New York”, the story turned out to be just meeeeehhdicore for me. Maybe it’s a good book for anyone else, maybe it’s just me, don’t get me wrong. Maybe because the background situation is my favorite so that I have a huge expectation for the story and it let me down. I don’t know, maybe. They both are blue colored on the cover, so, yah, I also hope that the book would be 4 out of 5, not just 3. The Chaos of Standing Still is 3 out of 5 for me. Dang, it got 3 just because the background story, the new year’s eve theme, the blizzard, the on the plane and airport situation, contain psychiatry content, and the book cover design, the actual love story between Ryn and Xander is just B for me.

I'm so messed up right now. And there's no better way to tell how I feel but this three songs below. Like usual, these aren't original version but covered, my favorite. Leroy Sanchez - Too Good at Goodbye Madilyn Bailey - Elastic Heart Will Champlin & Lauren Duskhi - Praying My bedroom right now is a mess! Haha, and it ain’t beautiful. Dirty laundry on the floor, printer on the bed, postcards and stickers all over my desk, my arms right now literally above them while I’m typing. But one thing that I promise today, no matter what happen, I’m not gonna let anything stop me from being productive. Actually nothing happened today, just some typical and reaaalllyyyy suck situation that I already used to it. Actually…I might severe from Monday Blues syndrome. Right now is Sunday night and I feel like I don’t get anything from my two days in a row holiday and had to go to work tomorrow, nooooo. Well, I actually got few things, but still, feels empty inside. Package from Penerbit Haru arrived to my house yesterday, I literally got a book for free and all I had to do is just post it on my Instagram, no commitment or target, wow now no wonder why so many people obsessed to be a selebgram. I’ll definitely post about it soon but right now I’m gonna blog about another thing… I think two years ago I’ve been to Periplus in Pondok Indah Mall before because I’m looking for an English adult coloring book (just looking, can’t find it anyway), oh and another visit was on the airport when I went to Singapore few years ago. This is actually the first time I went to Periplus since I really love reading imported books. Mostly I bought my books online. Dan ternyata di Periplus lebih murah yaaaaa dibandingkan di online shop hahaha. “Mulai saat ini saya berjanji tidak akan beli buku di online shop lagi kecuali bukunya nggak ada di Periplus…atau kalo covernya bagusan di online shop.” That’s my promise. And I got to say I was mind blown by the collection that they have in Periplus. I don’t even know what to buy, I really want Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them or Beauty and The Beast: Lost in a Book. Tapi entah kenapa pilihan jatuh ke Inside Out – Driven By Emotions. Yes I have watched the movie before but it’s not a crime to read a based-by-the-movie-book. Harus diakui bahwa sejak baca Frozen Heart-nya Frozen, gue jadi sangat tertarik untuk baca versi lain dari sebuah film, dan pilihannya nggak banyak. I hope this Inside Out book is one them.
First of all, ini bukan Let It Go nya Frozen ya gaes, ehehe. Ini Let It Go nya James Bay yang dicover sama Kurt dan salah satu penyanyi cover favorit gue yang sekarang udah gabung ama Citizen Four, Austin J. Percario.
Some people might curse and accuse me for this, but I personally thankful. Hari ini adalah hari kedua setelah Survei Verifikasi Akreditasi RS, satu-satunya hal yang menguras tenaga dan pikiran 64 orang di RS ini dalam beberapa bulan terakhir, and in the moment of Ramadhan, it feels awful. Last year's accreditation also happened on Ramadhan, even that's our first time ever, the big one, this year's just the verification. But this year's the hardest, probably for every single one of us. It's exhausting, and so much depressing, lebih banyak emosi yang terkuras tapi pada akhirnya saat telah selesai, relieve yang terasa nggak sebesar tahun lalu.
Tahun lalu, meskipun sejak awal Ramadhan udah persiapan akreditasi, tapi gue masih bisa ngerasain the spirit of Ramadhan, mom cooked often unlike this year when she didn't at all, Indonesia didn't surrounded by so much rasist people, and I can also feel joy even I worked hard a lot, too. Bahkan akreditasi tahun lalu 3 hari, plus H-1 dimana kita buka puasa di Hotel Horrison bersama para surveior, tahun ini hanya sehari. Entah apakah itu yang membuat kita nggak terlalu menganggap ini penting, kemudian mengabaikannya dan menemukan fakta bahwa ini penting kemudian kita kelabakan. Apakah karena boss baru? Gue nggak tau juga, tapi yang jelas keadaan disini tidak terlalu menyenangkan, kemunafikan yang terlihat sudah semakin nyata, some people are don't even hesitate to strike another, and I, on the other hand, are fully prepared to go on a war, too, just in case. Last year, I seldomly don't iftar at home, but this year, I can count the days when I did that at home and 80% of that aren't so much good because it'll end up with a small fight. This blog post even unorganized. Alurnya berantakan, bahasanya kacau. Last year I also had an affair which I have to admit made me a lil bit happier, I turned into a new person who loved to spend so much time with family, ah...That may be the cause of small number of family fight last year. That's mysterious and still unclear, but certainly the happy puppy love me is one of the main reason why I don't upset much when I have to do any family activity. In the next 3-4 months I'm gonna be married, and that hopefully not one of the reason why I'm so upset and everything feels so chaotic. Anyway! God I missed the main point. Tahun ini Ramadhan tak terasa seperti biasa, maybe it's my fault but I don't feel the much joy and happiness as I felt many years behind that I can still remember how it felt. Just by rememberring it, I have the enough number of warm to fill my heart right now and I almost cry, but I don't. Can't. I'm at work right now. My boss haven't arrived yet so I still have much time. Minggu depan udah lebaran tapi sekarang gue masih di kantor, and it didn't feels right. Tahun lalu padahal masih masuk setengah hari pas malam takbiran, but everything still feels right. Since I don't know what to do in my spare time, I read the last chapter of What Light, only few pages left. And the story pf magical christmas night touch me. I SHOULD TAKE A DAY OFF. As much as I don't want it because this year I grew up into a rebel person who don't like my family and my religion, I need to feel the magical moment of Ramadhan as it happened to other people. I don't know how I'm gonna have it, but I have to. There's nothing left to do at the office, I should probably gone home. I don't know what am I gonna do but I'm gonna try it anyway. Ramadhan passed by so fast that we don't even know it, now it's almost over and I haven't done anything about it. Well, sebenernya gue beli buku ini karena lihat sale di salah satu online shop yang jual buku import di Instagram (sengaja ga nyebut nama karena sebel dengan pelayanan shippingnya yang nggak cepat). Harganya murah, cuma Rp. 95.000 edisi paperback, hehe. Dan sampai detik ini gue masih pengen baca apapun itu yang ada hubungannya sama winter dan melengkapi kokeksi gue. Dan kaching, beli deh ini.
I am SO EXCITED when I found this book! Nggak nyangka bisa nemu versi cover yang ini, karena yang available di toko buku adalah yang agak merah warnanya dan nggak ada snowflake nya. This one is so pretty. Rejeki emang nggak kemana :")
*Drum rolls* My website is finally launched! Yeay! I am so excited to tell the world about this.
Setelah beberapa bulan, tulisan "This website will be launch soon" di halaman depan akhirnya bisa diganti. Entah kenapa nggak tau juga kok gue menunggu lama untuk launching padahal gue udah banyak ngeposting tulisan baru dan halaman depan hanya perlu beberapa touch up sedikit supaya bisa resmi. Sepertinya di section `About This Website' gue udah menceritakan kenapa gue pilih Weebly untuk bikin website, dan sejauh ini nggak terlalu banyak kendala kok. It's not that I'm an important person or what so I have to annouce that my website is officially launched, and I have to intention to use this website for bussiness either, I just did it for my own pleasure :3 I like writing and blogging, I love telling the world about things that I like and I don't give a damn if noe one cares about it :) See you next time, aaaand selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa bagi teman-teman yang menjalankan... So actually I want to go to Depok today but since Widi had a class (I do really want him to skip that lol) so I had to cancel my plan. And I said I want steak for tonight. But along the way I changed my mind.
Sebagai bagian dari postingan gue di blog planner ini, gue bikin pedampingnya untuk nulis tentang buku yang gue bikin reading trackernya di bullet journal.
It’s My True Love Gave to Me, a collection of a winter themed love stories edited by Stephanie Perkins who also edited the summer version of this book which is ‘Summer Days and Summer Nights’. Gue benci mengakuinya karena terkesan tidak professional, (memang tidak ada satupun dari semua hal ini yang professional haha) tapi yang membuat gue tertarik dengan buku ini adalah dari covernya. |
