a curse

: my life to me.

i just hope it is not infectious to other people.

lopsided loops

hey, god!
let me ask you one thing:
is it possible that a person
gets everything s/he wants
and continuously
be the spotlight
when at the same time
another person
gets screwed every single time
and repeatedly
overshadowed?

a girl needs a mother

because friends have their own problems
and fathers or boyfriend hardly listen
at the same time journals cannot respond
while colleagues are just people at work
one has to keep things professional with.

so, even when mother rarely gets the sense;
a girl needs a mother,
for she knows how to make things better.
or at least seem bearable.

end

before we part ways and bid goodbye to each other,

let me sing you the cure's i'll stop the world and melt with you.

but i guess whatever that was,

it is now over.

paradox

he always misses her no matter what she did. it is either love, naivety, or plain stupidity. and she, despite her longing for something better, has since been attached to him as well as could no longer bear the thought of pain he would have to endure if she left him. it is either love, charity, or empathy.

she would never dare to dream that what they have is forever, but he seemed very confident that they are meant for each other in all eternity.

none of them knows for sure what the future holds for both of them, but they have decided to be for each other at least until fate decides otherwise.

squished

jakarta has taken its toll on me.
this time, i am desperately longing to leave.
9 millions people in 740 square kilometre
is definitely a crowd.
am not sure i can take walking from dharmawangsa to blok a or further every evening.
even when i don't really do anything at work.
but, i guess my fate and fortune is not going to change.
at least not anytime soon.
