Mixed Feelings

Well, so much to write. So much to tell. I just couldn't express it.This week was kind of tough and messed up. When you couldn't be happier yet sadder. It's not that I was born to be an egoist or something. But everyone has dreams and by dream I mean everyone expected it to happen as soon as possible. If you think I'm always fortunate, no big NO. I've faced failures, probably more than average people did. I just want to declare that I'm so overwhelmed right now but the other side of me surrounded by deepest sorrow. Well, you have to sacrifice one, to get the better one or even the best. Don't let trivial things tear your life. It's easy to make decision as long as you have God as the guide and dreams as the pathways.

68 Years Ago

68 years ago, dreams successfully excited the 'independence' atom from the electronegativity of colonizer's tyranny. 68 years ago, there are thousands innocent bodies, left unconciously on the roads because of defending a red-white colored cloth. 68 years ago, this nation was just a wreck where slaves lived and where they were tortured.

I'm not a nationalist nor a person whose feeling of nationalism is abundant. I am rarely proud of being born and delivered in this country. But it doesn't mean that I don't love this country (I used to), just because I don't say it doesn't mean I don't love it. 10 or 20 years from now, I'll make this country as superpower as America, no more jobless, no more homeless, no more uneducated society.

Even many contries that I (inshaAllah, would) have visited, which are famously gorgeous, But my village and home, only there I feel truly happy, My land that I won't forget, I am proud of you.

MERDEKAAA INDONESIA!

Coming Back to Reality

I used to imagine reality was a place that is far away from the earth, hundred, thousand, or even billion light years away. I define reality as the place where probability still exists, where your sleeping pattern and reading list are screwed up, where your expectations are less-likely to be realized. Ever you heard the Parallel Universes theory? or the Schrodinger's Cat one? It's a notion that there are many kinds of 'we' in reality. It's like when you're eating buy-able cuisines in this part of universe, in the other part you're living broke with nothing to eat and in the other part of universe you're drinking a cup of coffee in a beautiful palace. And that's all happened at the same time. I always wonder what the other 'me' will do if the parallel universe really exists. Are they living in a reality which has small difference from what I'm living or they are living in all-of-their-expectations?

Ephemera and Ephesus

 If I could come, I would. It's worth my time, it's worth my whole life. I'm not gonna run, I'm just gonna walk. I know the air is going to smell different, the smells of 1000 years old carbonate. It's not polluted, it's not harmful. The history gives the scent. I'm not gonna waste every liter of the oxygen. Travels to the Library of Celsus. I'm gonna borrow the book, spending my entire life inside there. Temple of Domitian, Temple of Hadrian and the gorgeousness of Temple of Artemis. I wasn't talking about Percy Jackson. It's Turkey. The place where never-cease-to-amaze-you histories belong to. You wouldn't believe it. I know you wouldn't.

This is Your Life

 “This is your life. Do what you love, and do it often. If you don’t like something, change it. If you don’t like your job, quit. If you don’t have enough time, stop watching TV. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop; they will be waiting for you when you start doing things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. All emotions are beautiful. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Open your mind, arms, and heart to new things and people, we are united in our differences. Ask the next person you see what their passion is, and share your inspiring dream with them. Travel often; getting lost will help you find yourself. Some opportunities only come once; seize them. Life is about the people you meet and the things you create with them, so go out and start creating. Live your dream, and wear your passion.“ - Tumblr

Prologue

 

 So, here I am, on the first 6 days of August. The dog days are almost over, but they aren't really hot days because the rain pours down sometimes, the global warming has affected the climate so much. The first semester a.k.a freshman year will start in September and I didn't go anywhere, still at my home, with a bunch of dreams that I wrote on my binder book trying to enjoy my life as best as I can. Been reading so much books that I probably need to change my glasses lens because of the nearsighted thing.

Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey

Been on Youtube and finally found Cosmos: A Space-Time Odyssey trailer. Well if you never heard of it, it's a TV series that will be aired on Fox in February, 2014. The best part is it will be presented by my favorite astrophysicist of all time(after Carl Sagan), Mr. Neil deGrasse Tyson. It's actually a follow up of Cosmos: A Personal Voyage which was presented by the genius Mr. Carl Edward Sagan B.A, BSc, MSc, PhD

Virtual World Strangers

"1. A person who does not know or isn't known in a particular place or company

2. A person one does not know"

- Oxford Dictionary

  

For me the real definition of stranger is they who come to your life, you barely recognize them and try to understand them. Strangers can be everywhere, whether it's abroad(foreign) or domestic, whether it's young-adults or person who is on it's mid-late 50's, whether it's in real life or virtual life. Strangers are different from people whom we met in the real life, you judge strangers like you judge character in a book, you judge them from their personality, their words, the way they write, because you never behold them, even it's a direct glance so much different if it's compared to judge a real life people or character in a movies, we mostly judge them from the way they look, even though many people do say "I don't judge people by their face" they can be honest but in other hand they could be lying.

The Age of Worry

Know your fight is not with them
Yours is with your time here
Dream your dreams but don't pretend
Make friends with what you are

I've been living for 17 years in this world and by 17 it actually means transition phase,  from a labile teenager into a young-adult. I'm in the age of worry. When you find yourself not good enough. Over-thinking almost everything.
