Serendipity

Girls. Have you watched Serendipity movie by John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale? You must be kidding me if you haven't. Well, who doesn't like that movie. Sucha warm love story yet down to earth plot. Simple. Decent. Took set on Christmas time, this movie is surely a good companion for your holiday.

Is that Serendipity cafe for real? If it's real then someday I need to get there and see it in person. Should have a try on that ice cream menu Kate's enjoying in the movie. The word "serendipity" inspires me much then. Well, in shortly, serendipity is a fortune, sucha good luck moment, if I could complete it, happens accidentally. I always wonder how will I get my serendipity. When. Where. With whom. What am I gonna wear that time. Etc. Just a bunch of imaginations. Like daydreaming.

I never really got into such an accident, which brought me into happiness, just like the movie did tell. I get very pessimistic then, that thing only happens in a movie, or fairy tile. Life is much harder, love is more complicated. Until I had this certain moment.

Last Wednesday, I went for a supper and had karaoke night with friends. On the way to the karaoke after we finished eating, we passed a 24 hrs drugstore. That time I saw it clearly, Harry's car parked just right at the corner of that place. I never forget the plate, the stickers, and I asked my friend to slow her car down, being numb for a moment, eyes staring at the drugstore, did my best opting out for him. I saw his friend there, outside. Smoking. Couldn't be wrong, there must be my old idiot human inside. I took a few minutes to consider, whether I should go back or not. I really wanna see him (It is my bad habit. I keep on yearning for Harry) and just wanted to check out his reaction if he did see me in front of him. He's been sending me emails days before, but then I cut it off. Well, cause it bothered my mind. Which I regret later. I cover my pain by blocking him away. But then I feel tremendously suffered from missing him. Besides, I'm gonna leave Jogja for good, soon. That might be the last chance to see him :(

So then I asked my friend to turn around, got back to the drugstore. I really wish that we would have a chance to meet. I was feeling like creating my serendipity moment. Since it wasn't a Hollywood movie, you can guess the rest of the story. It went sucha tragedy. When I arrived, he just got away. I saw his car going right in front me but I'm sure, he didn't get the chance to see me. To know that I was there. I got paralyzed for a moment. Then my friend said that if I didn't get the chance to meet him by that time, then it wasn't my destiny. People can't control their destiny. It is God's conspiracy with the universe.

I got it. That was not a serendipity. That was a destiny. "God had showed me that the time's inaproppiate for us to be met. Perhaps it's true what Harry last said on the email, see you in another life."

So I see, people can't manipulate fate. No matter how hard I try to cheat destiny, I failed at the end. Serendipity doesn't work that way ...

:(

Best Way

Nyaam. I miss this kinda food. The last time I ate it is ..... more than 3 months I even cannot recall it. I got no partner to enjoy it with my old habit, wacky. How did I enjoy it anyways?

Well my advice about that is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyy too good to enjoy it at the movie theater. Especially when you're watching 3D movie. Hahahahaha. The dark studio, and special surround sound, with a little bang bang here and there, believe me it is really hard to multiple your attention. Whether you'd concentrate on the movie, or enjoying your cup corn. Until it spilled out at places, dirt your shirts, and you just laugh it loud, how could you be that moron.

Sorry for the stupid suggestion. Actually it was invented by idiot human of mine. Favorite one.

Vice Versa

I like the phrase "vice versa." First read it from a book, I forgot the title, the story got several similarities with my plot. And I just got bugged with it again. The illustration is ..... (copied from my Tumblr).

I don’t easily remember things, but I could remember the last song played when we hanged around. It’s Katy Perry’s Thinking of You. That might be an inkling, or it just told better about you in reversed mode. When you’re with me you’re thinking of her, and vice versa. You are so accustomed to, and repetitive. It happened, it’s happening, and perhaps it will still happen.

You never changed.

It is like you do certain things in A way, but it works the same as if you put it in B way. Only the objects that is different. Same way, different people. How do we deal w/ this kinda person? Perhaps see you in another life is right. I shouldn't see you twice in this fucked up world. The world cannot be more fucked up.

What's Good in Good Bye

People say good bye at a farewell. Why would you say it "good bye", while there's nothing good in that? I actually prefer the term "see you when I see you." Two of my friends already left Jogja for good (Geez, you see how we call left for good when someone's leaving permanently and no coming back. Grr it's not good you know). See picture below, two friends that leaving are Listy and Kemas.

So, we've been together for the last four years and over. Listy's like my first buddy at campus and Kemas used to be my ex for only one month. Hahaha stupid thing to do that time. But we end up as friend, good friend. We called this team as "Gila" (you may say Lunatic). I'll tell you the names, in order from left to right. Man in black, Irya. Gigantic chubby girl, Peppy. Girl in pink shirt and flowers is Listy. Next to Listy is Kemas. Girl in pink polkadot is me. The girl in black is Vera. The guy behind me and Vera is Andhy. There supposed to be eight of us, but the missing guy, Janjun, is somewhere out there. Hahaha no no. He's out of town. Later I'll update his picture.

What so funny about us is that we rarely speak much lately, whenever we hang out. But when we're separated, our Blackberry group is always busy. Posting silly pictures, insulting, throwing bad jokes, mostly slapsticks, asking to go out, and many more. Stupid how technology changed life and habit. But there's also one stupid thing to do, we usually fight for each other to have our favorite song played along the way while we go out. It mostly happens when we go out with Irya's car, cause his car has a player that can be connected through Ipods or phones, easy like plug and play. Some of us cheat to have our songs played twice, but some is okay just to have it played once. Hahaha. Miss it.

So, Listy and Kemas are the first ones who graduated from eight of us. They should be having a graduation day on November, but UGM cancelled it due to Merapi volcano. They came here just to take certificates and spent few days hanging out with us. When they had to leave this town, we arranged a surprise. None of us said able to drive them to the airport, but actually we have already waited for them there. Hehehehe. Yes, sweet things and surprises are our ability.

We rarely saw Kemas in tears, in contrary Listy is a maudlin baby. That day we saw him tearing, ah never thought this farewell would be that hard. We gave them those flowers, forced them to take pictures on the plane and at Soekarno Hatta airport right after they landed, then post it on Twitter. They made it of course.

Along the way back home, five of us (Irya, Peppy, me, Vera, and Andhy) stayed in silence. None of us even say any words. But suddenly Andhy said something. "Losing only two made a difference, quite a difference. Jogja is not the same anymore." We're drowned on our mind. Yes, Jogja is different now. I think it's the time, to get out. And finally get together again in Jakarta. Wait for us guys. See you when we see you in couple months.
