Book: The Midnight Library

It is one of the books that blown my mind. It's very well written and would probably relate with a lot of people who are in their journey to find themselves.  So many people are talking about it but I did not buy it until a few months ago where I read the preview on the first pages. Easy for me to see if I want to buy the book or not. When the first pages hook me right away, I don't need to think twice. This book is one of them.  This contains spoiler of course.  Nora, the main character, like many of us, fall into depression and decided to kill herself. But she's not dead right away. She went into a kind of limbo between life and death. In that library she met a librarian, this librarian is a kind of a guide. Our guide that probably tasked when we were born.    The librarian shows her lives that she could have had if she wants to. She is so depressed and thinks that no life will makes her happy enough to live it. I can totally understand her state. I was there....

[Piknik] Menyambangi Bromo kala batuk

Ceritanya beberapa waktu yang lalu, bromo lagi batuk-batuk ya. Salah seorang teman dekat ingin mengunjungi bromo. Yasudahlah saya pergi menemani dia. Ehhh la kok pas Bromo batuk. Beneran batuk. I mean lagi aktif. Tapi kita nekat hahaha * padahal pas si mas pengen kesana pas aktif, dilarang-larang beneran. Yang pergi malah yang ngelarang. Really! Kita berdua nekat dengan modal bismillah hihi Karena baru pertama kali mengunjungi ketika aktif, pikir saya sih 'ah kita kan nggak deket-deket banget. Cuman liat dari jauh aja kok'. Ternyata kita naik juga ke kawahnya. Dasar ndablek ! Tapi, I am sure and I even can suggest you to come when it is active. It's REALLY beautiful. Beneran, nggak boong kok. Cantik banget. Mana mendung lagi sampe kita balik ke Malang. Ahh nggak nyesel jadi agak ndablek dikit. Sayangnya, 5 hari kemudian itu Kasada. Duhhh sayang banget. ini bukan kolam susu lhoooo cantik kan? Ini masih pagi banget lho, sekitar jam 7an. tapi foggy be...

Galau gara-gara emas

‘Ka, anterin ke pegadaian dong ntar siang ya, aku mau buka tabungan emas’ ‘Oke ayok aku anter siap. Kabarin aja’ Ceritanya ini dia berencana sejak 6 bulan lalu sejak harga emas per gram masih 530 ribu sampai sekarang 580 ribu.  Jam 12… ‘Mbak, jadi kan?’ ‘Nggak jadi Ka, aku galau jadinya’ ‘Lah, yawes tak makan siang dulu deh’ Ternyata setelah berbicara dengan si mbak itu, dia galaunya kenapa saudara-saudara???? Takut rugi. Lah?? Bingung dong saya, kok takut rugi itu kenapa dan gimana maksudnya?? Ternyata begini, dia cek harga beli emas per hari itu 580 ribu per gram, sedangkan harga jualnya 560.  ‘Nggak jadi beli Ka, la kok aku rugi 20ribu kalo aku jual’ Wajar dia jadi galau ya, karena ada temannya yang mempengaruhi ‘Nggak usah beli emas, tabungin aja di rekening terpisah. Ntar seneng kalo liat jumlahnya’ à mbak yang satu ini paling anti sama investasi, gatau kenapa, padahal dia cinta mati sama duit. Kalau itu sih tergantung niat mbak, mauny...
