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 begini

Bromonya putih, Batoknya ijo. kontras yang cantiiiikkk

oiya, jangan khawatir, ada toilet yang bersih lho

disuruh antri begini, yang bersih-bersih sempet marahin aku gara-gara melewati batas


 berkali-kali kesini juga masih aja lupa ini namanya pura apa, padahal kalo Kasada ini banjir-banjir yang dateng.



kadang kita sering ngeluh dengan kondisi kita yang kurang lah, yang nggak cukup lah, bosenin lah, anyway this person have to spend his day to sell this Edelweis which cost only 10,000 - 20,000. dan pastinya berjemur gini. nikmat tuhanmu yang mana yang kau dustakan? bersyukur yok....

tapi si abang keliatan kayak bule lagi sun bathing aja deh 

mau tau bunyinya pas lagi aktif? serem sumpah! sama mikir 'ya gustiiii ijinin kita pulang dengan selamat ya'. praktis, kita berdua cuman lima menit diatas gegara merinding gahahaha


 do you have dreams? I have! if you have, then step on each ways you'll face in front of. hard? must be! no gain without pain lah!

ceritanya ini lagi moto eh difoto. lagi moto aja pake pose segala nih

kita berdua nggak sengaja dresscode-nya kembaran. jaket biru, tas nyolot oranye begini. tujuan saya sih cuman satu pake tas warna nyolot begini, biar gampang ditemuin kalo ilang. soalnya hobi banget jalan duluan dan ilang. jadi yang belakang bisa ngeliat nyolotnya tas oranye ini dari belakang 

 salah satu jalan yang disekitar bukit teletubies
focus on what you want to reach! but dont forget to enjoy your life

 we've been together for more than 10years. since we were 14 years old. ya, time flies. We dont always have sweet times only, we do have bitter times. we havent talk for a year but we found that we can still be a friend. especially when we talk about politic and such things. we are def in same frequency 


Ada yang bilang, berapa kalipun kamu ke Bromo, dia akan selalu menawan dan selalu memiliki sesuatu yang berbeda disetiap kunjungannya. Yes, that's true. and I am in love with Bromo

Pengalaman Bikin (Free) Schengen Visa di VFS Swiss

I know this is so normal but anyway I like to compare the experiences because people might have different cases and because I have nothing to lose so... here's my experience for applying Schengen Visa via Swiss (VFS). Kenapa nggak via Belanda? Karena rencana kita berkunjung lamanya ke Geneve - Swiss (ada urusan kerjaan suami gw) dan kami belum tau akan ke Belanda apa nggak saat itu (nggak jadi sih soalnya mepet banget).  Seperti yang sudah sering dibahas orang lain perihal syarat dan ketentuan apply Schengen visa, gw nggak akan nulis itu ya. Udah ada di website VFS, lengkap. Gw cuma tambahin dikit-dikit aja infonya yang mungkin sama seperti kasus yang baca kalo emang kebetulan sama sih 😂 "Ok jadi total pembayarannya 280 ribu rupiah ya" "HAH?? Cuma 200an mbak??? Visanya gratis???" "Suaminya masih WN Belanda kan mbak?" "Iya" "Oiya itu gratis, bisa pake visa tipe C. Jadi cuma bayar biaya admin aja" ...

Not A Robot

  There are so many things I did recently. It was all started since February. Not to complain about this, I just want to write it to release the stress. Because I know every choices has its own risks. Started from January, I commits to work on another blog of mine. Joining with another friend, we are committed to post at least one writing every week with different theme each week. This is still under construction *ahem, ini bukan bangunan* to make it good to read at. I will publish it here once it is ready to be published. We both are trying to be consistent. So far, I have been consistent and always post one every week. After decided to get married, I realize that it won't be that easy. No matter what, marrying someone never be easy. About the preparation and this and that. To be honest, I will not having a big feast for that. I will invite my close friends and family, although I still have to respect what my parents want to invite the neighbors (one block neighbors are tota...

[Book] Dunia Cecilia

'apakah kalian membicarakan hal semacam itu di surga?' 'tapi kami berusaha tidak membicarakannya dekat-dekat Tuhan. ia sangat sensitif terhadap kritik' Yap, sepenggal dialog antara Cecilia dan malaikat Ariel. Saya mengenal Jostein Gaarder sejak kuliah. Ehhhh 'mengenal' dalam artian kenal bukunya ya, kalo bisa kenal pribadi mah bisa seneng jingkrak-jingkrak hehehe. Jadi karena teman saya mendapat tugas kuliah membaca satu novel filsafat berjudul Dunia Sophie, saya jadi sedikit mengetahui si bapak Gaarder ini. Enak ya tugasnya anak sastra baca novel, tugas anak matematika ya baca sih, tapi pembuktian kalkulus -_- Dunia Cecilia ini buku pertama Jostein Gaarder yang saya baca, karena buku Dunia Shopie sangatlah berat berdasar review teman saya. Saya sih nggak perlu baca buku itu karena teman saya sudah benar-benar mahir bercerita. Jadilah saya sudah paham bener cerita Dunia Sophie tanpa membacanya. Novel ini atas rekomendasi teman saya, dia bilang kala...
