Saturday, 13th of June 2020 I just finished reading the older posts when I finally had an idea to write a post in this blog - this old and dusty one - while listening to Iwan Fals' "Aku Bukan Pilihan". That's quite random - both the activity and the song I chose to hear - and this might also be the most random thing I've ever done in 2020 due to - also but not limited to - COVID-19 that happen recently. I wish that I could write "happened" instead of "happen" in the last sentence, but unfortunately, at least until the day I wrote this, this COVID-19 thing hasn't finished yet. I'm pretty sure that you don't want to hear me talking about this covid stuff because we're all mentally exhausted hearing too much informations about it, aren't we?  Well, at least I am.   It is the thirteenth day of June, 2020. 2 months for me being a 20-year-old-girl (or woman? well that sounds too old) and the very least 4 months for me being in qua...

I asked but she just shooked his head. She said sorry for few times, and I left this travel agency afterwards. I wore my thick jacket again I ran home. That place was the last travel agency I visited after some before. I gave up, and I decided to shelter on the nearest coffee shop just to warm up my body.  I bought hot chocolate, and I decided to dri...

Previous story : Christmas Countdown 2017 : D-30 *** "It's only 5 dollars, it's part of the promo," I said to one of customers. She smiled a little and thanked me after that. She sat on the sofa which was located on the corner of the cafe while her friend (kind of her boyfriend) was waiting for her. They talked about stuffs after that, and it made me missing Alicia even more. It had been 2 weeks since we never met. She was kind of busy. She moved on the southern part of the city while I was on the northern. She got a scholarship on a university there and she took it, and I was happy for her. But of course sometimes I missed her. It took about 2 hours or so for us to meet, so it was kind of hard to find a right time just to talk about a thing or two knowing we had our own business. Talking about relationship, we've committed that we won't take anything too far. Considering that we're still young, I and Alicia decided to focus on what we dream first. Yeah, b...
