Third Party Lover
There's no chance to remake
Time to end this mistake
One is staying, the other one is departing
They know it was just a summer fling
She is waiting
And the ring slowly loses its shine
Time is ticking
He knows to whom he must say "be mine"
Turn back
Reverse
Return

Sweetest Hello From Mare
Ugh, I know and fully aware that I'm kind of late to post the introduction thingy, but here's mine anyway ;D So... Hello there! My name is Mare. In Latin it means "sea". Nice to meet you all, and thanks for pay a visit to this random but fun and (hopefully) useful blog of ours! Have you noticed that not only the blog's but also all of the admins' names are basically came from ocean related thingy? Yeah, I guess I can say that we shared same interest in that field. Although I had some traumatic childhood experience in the sea, which had some drowning and big waves included that caused me to not be able to swim anymore, I still love it no matter what. Just by staring at the sea will bring peace to me. I can spend hours just to stare at the blue sea and the blue sky above it. Those two added with music and some sweet snacks are my stress reliever.
Anyways, this post is supposed to be a "get to know me" post, right? So here we go. About me, huh? Well, there are some random trivia about me that can describe me as a person, better than my name did. First of all, I'm an Asian girl. A not so well behaved girl, who's about to become a woman soon. Hehehe, I realized that all this time I've never acted my age. So yeah :p I wear full-frame glasses all the time. Not only because I have a bad sight which means I totally need it for a better vision, but also because it helps me to make my face looks even better. I utter complete nonsense most of the time. I REALLY hate it when there are spaces on my bangs. Before take a picture, I'll ALWAYS make sure that there are none first before straight a pose lol. I also bite my nails. I really want to overcome it but it can't just be cured right away. It's a habit. I love rain but totally hate thunder. Truth to be told, I'm the biggest pet peeve, I guess. I'm easily bored and easily distracted, which is bad, I know. I'm easily touched, which means easily cried too. BUT I have a great sense of humor and fun to be with. There's no one alive that is more me than me. That is truer than true. I'm Daddy's only daughter and awesome friend, I could be a caring sister too. Sometimes it feels like my Dad spoiled me too much, but who am I to ignore such a bless? Thus, his number is on my speed dial number 1. And oh my best feature would be my... Hmm, I'm not quite sure. My Dad said my eyes, whilst my Mom said my lips. For me, I would say my nose is. Although some people making fun of my nose because it looked like pig's nose they said, idk why but I still find my nose uniquely good and attractive.
I'm quite delusional for my own good, you know. I focus on fantasies too much. I have so many feels towards fictional characters. I've been into this anime and manga world since idk, elementary school? Anime and manga are part of my childhood (like Harry Potter). And to be honest, I thought that I already over this phase like 5678 years ago. But well, here I am, drowning back to this world full with fictional characters that I so freaking hope to come to live lol. I read and make fanfictions sometimes, err scratch that, most of the time. Who am I kidding? -__- I love to write although I'm not that good with words, but I've been doing this stuff since middle school. So I guess there's no point in denying that I, deep down, actually want to have a job that revolve around writing.
Like I stated earlier, I'm such a crybaby. Like seriously. Especially if my period time is about to come. Screw those stupid female hormones. I cried everytime I watched Finding Nemo, always on the same parts. So does with Kabhi Kushi Kabhi Gham and many other. I'm the type who's seeking for happy ending whenever I watched a drama. I will stop it immediately if I know it'll turn into sad ending. I hate sad ending so freaking much. I can’t handle "angst" very well, especially if there's "death" included in it. Because once I attracted to sad things, it will wounded at the core. Blame my wimpy heart. They said curiosity kills cat, but I love spoilers. They said gluttony is one of the 7 sins, but I love food so much. Food and hot/handsome guys are like... heaven on earth <333 Oh but since food is too mainstream now, I'll say that sleep is my new friend. You just can't imagine how rotten my sleeping pattern is. Another thing is, I’m childish and kind of scaredy cat. Well, that’s my youth speaking, which is also my charm, I guess.
I'm only good at one thing, procrastinating. I'm such a lazy bum. And since sloth is my biggest sin, my motto seems like revolve around it. "If I don't have to do it, I won't. If I have to do it, I'll make it quick. Stress is caused by giving a fuck." Which is bad, I know, but hey I'm just being honest here. Toy Story 3 is like the saddest movie ever cos it is the proof that our childhood is really over, and I really love it to the core. It feels like I'm not the only one who thought that toys were alive. As long as we still cherish those moments, then it will never be over. Truth to be told, I don't have any role model. I don't want to be the same with anyone, I want people to remember me as me. Lol cliche, huh? But seriously I don't. Maybe, I'm just too ignorant, idk. I have so many interests, but as I stated before, fictional characters are my main interest. Reading and writing (non academics related of course) also my main interest and my favorite things to do too. Heck, I'd still continue to read even when the black out occurred. My favorite books are mostly the ones that revolves around fantasy, gangster, romance (duh?), adventure, and real life thingy. I'm such a picky reader (MUST HAVE A HAPPY ENDING). Some of my fave books are Harry Potter especially the last book (Deathly Hallow) by J. K. Rowling, Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, 1Q84 by Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami, Four Seasons of Love (Summer in Seoul, Autumn in Paris, Winter in Tokyo, and Spring in London) by Ilana Tan, Hanafiah Family (Lukisan Hujan, Putri Hujan dan Ksatria Malam, Pesan Dari Bintang) by Sitta Karina, and also Thoughtless, Effortless, and Reckless by S.C. Stephens. I love listening to music, but don't give me ballad because I might barfing unicorn just by hearing it. In order to be able to getting me hooked with it, that music must has ear-catchy intro, addictive melodies, and attractive chorus. I prefer easy listening ones. I don't care if they're labeled groups or indie groups. Not that I care what is mainstream or not anymore, since anti-mainstream becomes mainstream nowadays. I love K-Pop, K-Indie, and K-HipHop a lot. Some of them are BIGBANG, 2NE1, Lee Hayi, Jay Park, Raspberry Field, Standing Egg, Urban Zakapa, Milktea, Peppertones, Leesang, MFBTY, Zion T, Tasha, etc. I also love listening to anime soundtracks since those kind of songs talks not only about love related thingy. And don't forget about Glee cast. I adore their voices. I love all of their covers most of the time, because mostly their covers are far batter than the real ones. Movies, huh? First of all, mostly I hate it when my favorite books were turned into movies. Because the movie version usually sucks (except anime in some cases). But still, the cast is lovely. Yeah, I'm talking about Harry Potter here. I love The Notebook, The Vow, 500 Days of Summer, Habibie & Ainun, Up, and etc (mostly anime and disney movies though). My all time favorite series is of course one and only Friends.
Since I love fictional characters and BIGBANG a lot, so currently I'm in a relationship with people who doesn't even exist and people who doesn't even know about my existence AAAND also my laptop (who btw has a relationship with internet, yeah we're doing threesome here) who always provides my needs with feels (about those people) till I drowned within it. My current obsession is TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A SLENDER BODY LIKE MANNEQUIN. That's actually my obsession since high school which I always failed to do so. And also One Piece. OMG don't make me start something that I can't even finish, I can spend hours just to tell you about my overwhelming feels toward this fictional story. Thus, Japan is one of the places that I want to visit so bad. I want to visit them animation studios and see how they work things out there. I also wanna visit Korea again, I miss Korea so bad, heck I even miss the elderly who gave ginseng candy to me :'p London is a place that I must set my feet on someday, so does Paris and Rome.
I'm not that good with fashion either. Although vintage fashion attracts me the most, I guess simplicity suits me better. I always grab anything that looks good on me and I always wear the first thing that caught within my reach everyday. But I gotta say, polkadot never fails to attract me. My friend even called me 'polkadot girl'. I love vanilla so freaking much, thus my signature fragrance is vanilla. I've never did once change my perfume's fragrance because I can't take my heart away from vanilla essence <333 The first thing I do when I wake up beside stretching is putting my glasses on. I can't live without my glasses after all. Seriously it's just scary not being able to see things clearly, and all you see is blur images. My weirdest habit is... I love talking to myself. Especially in front of mirror. Ugh, please don't picture it in your head, it feels weird. I have a few wishlist(s) actually, like going on a vacation with family, graduate before summer ends, new smartphone, my own car, also G-Dragon's solo concert ticket, AAAAAAND passionate love lmao. And oh I want to be able to draw anything too. Since I suck at art, I envy those people who can draw and sketch.
This is the last random thing in this post, if I were animal I would be an nocturne owl, I guess. This is solemnly because I can handle sleepless night very well. Beside, owl is still categorised as bird right? And birds can fly. I really want to fly through the sky and feel the breeze of the wind. That must what peace really is.
And that's a wrap! Those are random trivia about me that you should know. I will end it with some favorite quotes of mine. See you in another post then. Ciao! :D

Jordan Lawlor
This kid is amazing! He is the new multi-instrumentalist of M83, and he's only 19 years old. God, he's still so young and sooo talented.
Get To Know BADA
Hi everyone, my name is Bada and this is my first post in this brand new blog. Im so excited to post in this blog because this blog was created spontaneously by 3 of us ( ya I know, we are so random ). We created this blog because we thought its gonna be fun if there are more people organizing one blog, as the content will not be monotonous and we can keep this blog posted regularly with anything we found interesting, amazing. This blog was also created to make our days as student ( not to mention our final year lol ) more productive, because sometimes we tend to just throw ourself in the corner of our room sleeping if we have nothing to do, this blog is meant to motivate ourself and keep us productive even in a fucking lazy days, cool. Well, enough raving, Im just gonna go introduce myself yay :)
So as you all know, I already mentioned my name, its BADA. That means sea or ocean in Korean. I go with this name because I love sea. I remember there was one time when Im so obsessed with a particular fictional mythical figure called Nyi Roro Kidul. That was a long story to tell, but briefly I found that this character is so cool. She lives deep beneath the South Sea ( without a gas tank ), she is uber beautiful that even the Sultan would fall for her, she is powerful that she can do some magic tricks, and other jawdropping abilities she has. Call me nuts for idolizing this figure, but frankly, I actually never intentionally idolize her, it was just coincidence. It all started from jokes I usually told to my friends about this figure, but later on it became a habit, and people started to relate me with this figure, weirdo. Other than that, I see sea as a symbol of hope and dream. Why?. Because its endless, we can dream and hope as big as we could, the possibility is also limitless, just like the sea that has no limit. So keep dreaming big guys :), you will never know in the end of the day you will find yourself living your dream. But always keep in mind that there's no ocean with no waves and storm, so keep alarmed but stay cool just like the gentle sea breeze. Third reason why my name is Bada, because I love Korea, I love the language, I love the culture, I love most things about Korea. I will tell the rest of the story of my obsession to Korea in other post, since this post is getting too long.
Back to myself, I have some interests that I've been keeping on doing for quite a long time. The first one and my ultimate interest is drawing. I love to draw ever since I know how to grip a pencil. I remember when I was younger, the wall in my house was full of my masterpiece. My mom used to get mad at me when she found me out drawing on the wall again and again, because I literally drew anything, from rainbows to giant anacondas. My interest in drawing continues up until right now but I rarely publish it to other people ( even some closest people around me might not know I can draw ), its more like a self therapy for myself and self satisfaction. Some people already told me to be bold with this skill so that I can excel on it, but I never really listened, since I was a very realistic person, I didnt think I can live with being an artist. But when I grow older and maturer, I started to realize that the best job in the world might be the thing you enjoy the most. But I keep practicing, no regrets, I still find drawing enjoyable and the most awesome thing in the world. Since I love to draw, I also love things related to arts or visual arts. I love graphic design, photography, interior design, product design, and anything about visual design.
Besides drawing and visual design, I also love to travel. Finding out some new places, getting lost, seeing new cultures are always a bliss for me. I love backpacking and I hate travelling in a tour. I hope I can have a job related to travelling, that would be super cool. My dream destinations are exotic places in South East Asia, right now Im dying to go to Angkor Watt in Cambodia, Luang Prabhang in Laos, and Pagan in Burma. Im also dying to visit Europe, Viena, Geneva ( these two I heard a lot in the class during lecture lol ), Prague, Italy, Paris, Islamabad, and many more. But on top of those, I always ant to explore my own country, Indonesia on the first hand. This country is sooo georgeous but the government is busy dealing with other stuff so the tourism endorsement ( which is so fucking important for our income ) is left neglected. What a shame!. I hope I can make a change in the future, with the smallest effort I could do.
Moving on to the role models in my life. Thinking about this stuff, I actually dont know how to answer this since I dont really have a specific one. I dont really follow one specific person's idea or whatever ( well Nabi Muhammad is exception isnt he? ). But talking about person who has biggest influence on me, I would say they are my parents. They've been raising me with super awesome values and great efforts that I can be who I am right now. Im forever grateful to have them in my life. Thankyou mom and dad for the lessons of life you've taught me. My dad taught me how to be a gentle, responsible, honest, faithful, and how to love arts, while my mom taught me of being a hardworking, social, and a strong one. They are a perfect role models for me
The best physical feature I might have maybe are my eyes. I love how they look since they are just in perfect size for me I guess, not small not big. And I've been getting many compliments from my Korean friends about it ( well, korean is one of the most honest and mean society when it comes to judging physical features, so I chose to believe on it ).
Books. I do like to read, but Im a really picky one. The first chapter would be the one which decide whether I will continue reading that book or not. I like reading fantasy, true story, and some casual novels. My all time favorite books are The Alchemist-Paulo Coelho, Le Petit Prince-Antoine de Saint Exupery, Harry Potter-JK Rowlings ( My favorite one is "The Goblet of Fire" ), and Supernova-Dewi Lestari ( My favorite is "Pangeran, Putri, dan Bintang Jatuh" ).
Movies. The same thing with my reading taste which is more in a mainstream side, I like to watch mainstream movies too, Hollywoods yay. Hey, entertainment is all about how to be entertained and have fun, so dont think to much ( well at least this is my shallow principle lol ). But nowadays I like to watch vintage movies, I found them having a unique charm ( Ask where to find them?. Go to PrimaNet! ). I like documentary movies too, especially the ones with social issues or historical theme.
Music. Currently Im in a love hate relationship with Korean Music. I listen to KPop, their Indie Music, and their folk music. I can say their soft power is so strong that it can easily penetrate anyone, dang!. Once again being in the mainstream side, but whatever guys hahhaha. My favorite singers and groups ( labeled and indie ) are K.Will, Huh Gak, Ailee, Ali, Nell, Baek Ji Young, Davichi, Noel, Geeks, Standing Egg, Urban Zakappa, One More Chance, Busker Busker, Sistar. Besides the contemporary music, I like listening to the their folk song and music as well. I learned how to play Korean traditional instrument called Bbuk and Changgu and I love it.
Current obsessions are : Not to gain weight, speak French and Korean well, Make use of my skill so that it can earn penny.
One of my favorite thing to do is waking up early, grab my headphones, and go ride my bike to enjoy the morning breeze and beautiful early morning sky color. I hope I can do it more often :).
My fashion taste and daily outfits screams simplicity and casual. Most thing I would wear to go to campus are t-shirt and jeans. I love plaid shirts and hoodie too, they are awesome and comfortable. But the fashion statement that will always present in my everyday outfits would be a pair of hi-top sneakers, super awesome and give a little bit of "hit" to your outfit. Oh and also glasses. I love huge glasses, for some reason it fits my face quite well.
I dont wear perfume that often, only when I feel like wearing it. But my favorite scent is the scent that is not too strong and overwhelming. I like the scent in the calming, easy, musky one. Right now Im wearing the scent called Sunshine, which smells like the men moisturizer lotion from Etude House lol.
First thing I would do when I wake up in the morning is going to toilet
My weirdest habit I have is singing out loud on the street when I ride my motorbike. I often put on my earphones while riding and I often sing along loudly to the song I listen. Well since nobody will care that much because I am riding on the street. Besides singing, sometimes I ramble in english or in korean, pretending I'm having a conversation with someone. Please dont judge ;D
My wishlist rightnow are : New Smartphone and an Ultrabook
If I were an animal, I would be a dog. I can be loyal to someone once I know that person well, but I can bite some strangers that get in my way ( though I bite elegantly )
One thing I could not live without are my glasses. I had this very unpleasant experience when I travelled by myself to Jakarta and I broke my glasses. It was so tough to even see your surroundings, looking for the right terminal in the airport, and read building's name. That was one crappy experience cant be repeated in my life ever again.
Last but not least is a simple quote by me, "Life is an endless struggle between you and yourself, not between you and anyone else". So be confident and keep your chin up!. Show the world you've conquered yourself :)
So that's few things about me, I hope it gives you a better picture of myself and my personality. Have a great day :). I will try to keep posting regularly.
So as you all know, I already mentioned my name, its BADA. That means sea or ocean in Korean. I go with this name because I love sea.

Some people already told me to be bold with this skill so that I can excel on it, but I never really listened, since I was a very realistic person, I didnt think I can live with being an artist. But when I grow older and maturer, I started to realize that the best job in the world might be the thing you enjoy the most. But I keep practicing, no regrets, I still find drawing enjoyable and the most awesome thing in the world. Since I love to draw, I also love things related to arts or visual arts. I love graphic design, photography, interior design, product design, and anything about visual design.
Besides drawing and visual design, I also love to travel. Finding out some new places, getting lost, seeing new cultures are always a bliss for me. I love backpacking and I hate travelling in a tour. I hope I can have a job related to travelling, that would be super cool. My dream destinations are exotic places in South East Asia, right now Im dying to go to Angkor Watt in Cambodia, Luang Prabhang in Laos, and Pagan in Burma. Im also dying to visit Europe, Viena, Geneva ( these two I heard a lot in the class during lecture lol ), Prague, Italy, Paris, Islamabad, and many more. But on top of those, I always ant to explore my own country, Indonesia on the first hand. This country is sooo georgeous but the government is busy dealing with other stuff so the tourism endorsement ( which is so fucking important for our income ) is left neglected. What a shame!. I hope I can make a change in the future, with the smallest effort I could do.
Moving on to the role models in my life. Thinking about this stuff, I actually dont know how to answer this since I dont really have a specific one. I dont really follow one specific person's idea or whatever ( well Nabi Muhammad is exception isnt he? ). But talking about person who has biggest influence on me, I would say they are my parents. They've been raising me with super awesome values and great efforts that I can be who I am right now. Im forever grateful to have them in my life. Thankyou mom and dad for the lessons of life you've taught me. My dad taught me how to be a gentle, responsible, honest, faithful, and how to love arts, while my mom taught me of being a hardworking, social, and a strong one. They are a perfect role models for me
The best physical feature I might have maybe are my eyes. I love how they look since they are just in perfect size for me I guess, not small not big. And I've been getting many compliments from my Korean friends about it ( well, korean is one of the most honest and mean society when it comes to judging physical features, so I chose to believe on it ).
Books. I do like to read, but Im a really picky one. The first chapter would be the one which decide whether I will continue reading that book or not. I like reading fantasy, true story, and some casual novels. My all time favorite books are The Alchemist-Paulo Coelho, Le Petit Prince-Antoine de Saint Exupery, Harry Potter-JK Rowlings ( My favorite one is "The Goblet of Fire" ), and Supernova-Dewi Lestari ( My favorite is "Pangeran, Putri, dan Bintang Jatuh" ).
Movies. The same thing with my reading taste which is more in a mainstream side, I like to watch mainstream movies too, Hollywoods yay. Hey, entertainment is all about how to be entertained and have fun, so dont think to much ( well at least this is my shallow principle lol ). But nowadays I like to watch vintage movies, I found them having a unique charm ( Ask where to find them?. Go to PrimaNet! ). I like documentary movies too, especially the ones with social issues or historical theme.
Music. Currently Im in a love hate relationship with Korean Music. I listen to KPop, their Indie Music, and their folk music. I can say their soft power is so strong that it can easily penetrate anyone, dang!. Once again being in the mainstream side, but whatever guys hahhaha. My favorite singers and groups ( labeled and indie ) are K.Will, Huh Gak, Ailee, Ali, Nell, Baek Ji Young, Davichi, Noel, Geeks, Standing Egg, Urban Zakappa, One More Chance, Busker Busker, Sistar. Besides the contemporary music, I like listening to the their folk song and music as well. I learned how to play Korean traditional instrument called Bbuk and Changgu and I love it.
Current obsessions are : Not to gain weight, speak French and Korean well, Make use of my skill so that it can earn penny.
One of my favorite thing to do is waking up early, grab my headphones, and go ride my bike to enjoy the morning breeze and beautiful early morning sky color. I hope I can do it more often :).
My fashion taste and daily outfits screams simplicity and casual. Most thing I would wear to go to campus are t-shirt and jeans. I love plaid shirts and hoodie too, they are awesome and comfortable. But the fashion statement that will always present in my everyday outfits would be a pair of hi-top sneakers, super awesome and give a little bit of "hit" to your outfit. Oh and also glasses. I love huge glasses, for some reason it fits my face quite well.
I dont wear perfume that often, only when I feel like wearing it. But my favorite scent is the scent that is not too strong and overwhelming. I like the scent in the calming, easy, musky one. Right now Im wearing the scent called Sunshine, which smells like the men moisturizer lotion from Etude House lol.
First thing I would do when I wake up in the morning is going to toilet
My weirdest habit I have is singing out loud on the street when I ride my motorbike. I often put on my earphones while riding and I often sing along loudly to the song I listen. Well since nobody will care that much because I am riding on the street. Besides singing, sometimes I ramble in english or in korean, pretending I'm having a conversation with someone. Please dont judge ;D
My wishlist rightnow are : New Smartphone and an Ultrabook
If I were an animal, I would be a dog. I can be loyal to someone once I know that person well, but I can bite some strangers that get in my way ( though I bite elegantly )
One thing I could not live without are my glasses. I had this very unpleasant experience when I travelled by myself to Jakarta and I broke my glasses. It was so tough to even see your surroundings, looking for the right terminal in the airport, and read building's name. That was one crappy experience cant be repeated in my life ever again.
Last but not least is a simple quote by me, "Life is an endless struggle between you and yourself, not between you and anyone else". So be confident and keep your chin up!. Show the world you've conquered yourself :)
So that's few things about me, I hope it gives you a better picture of myself and my personality. Have a great day :). I will try to keep posting regularly.

Meet Jūra
Hi, welcome to this newly born bloggie! My name is Jūra, one of the admins of this blog. Jūra is a twenty-year-old girl who has a serious and ridiculous memory problem, that Jūra can hardly recall someone's name by only recognizing her/his face. This is a big problem for Jūra. Oh, I almost forget to tell the meaning of my name, Jūra is 'sea' in both Latvian and Lithuanian. Sea is closely related to oceanic things, well I named myself with this name simply because I love beaches so much, it feels so relaxing by even only imagining that we are at a beach, listening to the waves like our favorite songs, lay down our body on its white and warm sands, oh... So refreshing.
I'm a real music addict, I can tell that music is one of my biggest interests in my life. I don't know, it's like my second belief I've been embracing currently. Well, this is even the first thing that I do when I wake-up in the morning, because it gives me energy to open up my eyes and gives me spirit to get my ass off of the bed. I listen to various kind of music genres (from folk, post-rock, trip-hop, to hardcore, or even dangdut), and also listen to thousand bands from the old ages ones, mainstreams, and independents (like Culture Club, Maroon 5, Little Dragon, Sigur Ros, Beat Connection, Bag Raiders, Celine Dion, Alesana, and so on). It depends on my current mood. This could be a reason why I'm (fortunately) able to sing, and being a main vocalist in my highschool band (this band still exists up until now, anyway).
I also crave for some arts, and highly apreciate those people who have such talent and interests in arts. Since I don't draw or paint, I envy people who are able to do that to the moon. Hey, for readers who are mastering these activities, teach me some, would you?
Some of my role models in my life are musicians or artists, but there are only three persons that I considered as the most influencing role models in my life. I place Daddy, my most favorite man in the world on the top of the list, because to me, he's a great advisor in my life. He taught me everything, from a simplest thing like 'sholat' 5 times a day to some of bigger lessons of life. He is also my favorite partner to discuss everything, from simple issues, politics, religious-related things, arts, and many interesting issues (we also discuss and update about entertainment gossips). The next one is Suzzanna, it's because she's beautiful but she scares everyone by only remembering her appearance in her horror movies. Her acting is very remarkable. It really inspires me a lot and I think she is the best icon of Indonesia's horror movies, I dare say. And I want people remember me like they remember Suzzanna, pretty and scary at the same time. And the last person is AECI, she is a really nicest mate of mine and my closest bestfriend ever. She is clever and wise, she also taught me many things related to academic things and some of life lessons, she motivates me to do great things and chase for achievements to make people proud of myself. She always has great advices for me to take decisions to make my life much way better. Oh and I considered her as my second sister and her family as my second family :')
I like to read books (but not a bookworm, for sure), I read novels and also handbooks about politics. My favorite books are: "Waktu Aku Sama Mika" (because the story made me cry like a baby! So touching! T_T) and Dynamics of Diplomacy, because this one is the first handbook that I finished (it means I've read the whole chapters) in my entire college life. And I'm very keen on watching movie! This kind of activity is the most effective way for me to learn many things in such a whole interesting complex package (stories, casts, soundtracks, movie scripts). Some of my fave movies are Titanic, Cin(T)a, Pride and Prejudice, The Number 23, and Mr.Nobody.
As a normal human being, I also have some weird habits, but the weirdest one is whenever I meet up with girls, I usually take a glance at their boobs first before I look at their faces. I'm straight by the way, and it's not because I envy the size of their boobs, big NO (mine have satisfying cup size and that fact is pretty intimidating for those girls with flat chests). But, I just don't understand why I keep doing this gross habit up until now.
My favorite things in the world are: gadgets because they are very useful for a modern lazy-ass like me; eggdrops biscuits because it tastes so good and cute; durian because this has a heavenly flavour and you'll feel more exotic after eating this fruit; banana and apple because these two are perfect when they are mixed in a bowl with oatmeal; Hello Kitty because it's simply cute and really representing me as a cute girl (puke); and fragrances because it will keep you away from kind of odd magical body odors.
I have found a favorite and signature scent, it's rose, it smells so good to me. The flower itself has a feminine and elegant look but it has thorns to protect itself from threats. It really represents a woman. As women, we may look weak and fragile, but, actually we do have a great power inside that will come out whenever we face problems or simply to protect ourselves from some threats. That is why I feel like a real woman when I spray rose perfumes and or rub my body with rose lotion/body butter.
I really like my dark complexion, and I'm proud of saying that it is my best feature of my whole body parts. This tanned-easily skin makes people easy to remember me as an exotic girl ;p
And having such skin tone doesn't limit me to do some fashion experiments. I don't like being casual, or mainstream in wearing outfits. Honestly I really like to be the center of attention, so that is why I'm often being experimentally ill in fashion. I don't continuously wear tees and jeans some couple of days in a week. I love to mixmatch my current outfits to invent a new quirky-odd-chic appearance. Like being androgyny and feminine at the same time by wearing a dress which combined with a man's shirt. It's really fun, trust me!
My current obsessions are: to be graduated as soon as possible without doing much tireless efforts and get a job as a journalist or reporter for VoA (how could I even think of that?!), and... (drum rolls) Jared Leto. Holy Kitty, he's my current biggest obsession and also most sinful distraction! I just don't understand why he could get 25-year-old look at 41, stay young, hot, and seductive! I really like the moment when he's asked by this question "what turns you on?" and naughtily he answered the question by asking back "what doesn't turn me on?" Kyaaaaaakyaaaaa what a horny rape-able uncle!
There are some things that I really really really want to do and want to get currently. First, I wish Daddy is willing to buy me a DSLR and Polaroid camera. And for things I want to do these days are backpacking and learn to play guitar. I have imagined and dreamt of travelling (as a backpacker) to some places I really want to visit. Here are the lists: Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Scottland, The Netherlands, Germany, Bhutan, Myanmar, and South Korea. These countries are quite interesting to visit and to explore. But I have to earn and save huge amount of money. So that is why in the same time I feel the urge to learn to play guitar. I want to make my own music (songs) and sell them to earn money hahahaha. Well these are just some of my wishlists, I hope it all will be done as soon as possible, though :p
I've seriously dated 3 guys in 20 years of my life. One at Junior-High school (it only lasts for a month and 10 days), the second one was when we're at the second year of college (2010-2011), and the latest one has officially ended on January, this year, and it only lasts for about 3 months. And, Glenn Freddly's song, titled January reminds me of him and our quickie-express relationship hahahaha. So, now I'm single but mingle but delusionally taken by Beat Connection's Thomas (Tom) Eddy who really looks like my hottie-hunk senior at college!
If there's one thing in my life that I can't live without, I will say it must be a religion. Why religion? Because, to me, it spiritually leads us (humans) to keep our every "step of life" in a rightest track. God creates us, and we're nothing without God. I believe that someone who embraces one religion faithfully will do better things than the "independent" believers. Well it's just my humble opinion.
And if I were an animal, I would be Lutung Kasarung, since that kind of ape has black furs, smart, and there was a legend about Lutung Kasarung in Indonesia. And I want to be a legend too :p
So that's all for my long and random mumbling. Sorry this is too long for an introduction. But hopefully, it will inspire you who read my brief (?!) "about me". Oh and, one last thing, I want to include my own quotation as a closing of The Introduction of Jūra:
"I am the ocean, you are the waves, and they are just the swimming dolphins" (Jūra Seewier).
To me, this quote of mine has a deep meaning. Ocean and waves are like two things which impossible to be apart, just like you and your partners or your beloved ones (families and friends). Ocean will always need The Waves, they have a mutual re-enforcing correlation. And the dolphins refer to the people that surround you, the outsiders of your primary relationship, they could be the nice ones or the bad ones. But if you're united like Ocean and The Waves, you'll be too strong to be taken down. So, live happily and hold the ones you love close, be united and unbreakable.
Nice to meet you,
Sincerely,
Jūra
