WHAT SHALL WE EAT?

of foods on film, some more foods and other stuffs.

[lunerin]

Current mood? not in the mood.

Fave person? nobody.

Numbing myself away, a cup a day...

Upsetting over every single thing possible.

On a roller coaster once more, back here in an intersection.

Can I blame the retrogrades? Supposed not.

"It's alright I'm okay, I think God can explain.

I believe I'm the same, I got carried away..."

Here's my thought early this morning,

the world would go on, even when I'm no longer here.

It would keep on moving, even when everything else feels like ending.

Oh, the joyful thought at 2 AM!

What fun, right?

Anyhow, I ordered coffee, donuts, and whatnot today. A little pick me up to face this dreadful-yet-not-so-bad-Wednesday.

Guess, I have no self control after all...

How my heart behave,⁣

I don't think I'll ever understand.⁣

How memories come rushing back,⁣

I would never be ready for.⁣

It's summer again.⁣

Time for new lovers, they say.⁣

An ice cold bottle in hand,⁣

To chase the blues away.⁣

Can I have a fresh new beverage this time?⁣

Unopened, unknown, one that was never been here before.⁣

I need to quench my thirst.⁣

But not with a false freshness nor the dissapointment.⁣

⁣

It's kinda scary to long for.⁣

And I'm restless already, waiting here with sweats dripping more and more.⁣

Several friends bid farewell to their loved ones this week.⁣

They can't even said goodbye directly to the person.⁣

All they could, was to say goodbye afterwards.⁣

That must have felt... hard. Sad. Devastating. ⁣

⁣

I do hope the memories remains, like a certain taste that linger.⁣

The sweet, sour, bitter from the person they've shared it with.⁣

And so one day, when they'll eventually meet again, somewhere, they'll remember these flavors.⁣

These vivid aftertaste that was once shared together.⁣

I write sins not tragedies.⁣

Wish i could say so, ⁣

well we could try to do so,⁣

starting today.⁣

⁣

We'll see how the future goes.⁣

Sinful, passionate, and lustful, perhaps?⁣

That could be interesting.⁣

A nice change from tragedy, dare I say?

⁣

Just like a plate filled with fritters topped with grated cheese, chocolate flakes, and condensed milk. Sinful.⁣

I had trouble sleeping. Again.

I had dreams, some of it consisted of you and the thought of being with you.

I saw you in those dreams, the way I finally saw you again that day.

It was a hunch, sent by my burried feelings and denied longing.

It came true.

I didn't dream of you after.

Perhaps I let you go, the way you let me be.

Perhaps the plot thickened or it was simply the end.

We smiled and waved.

I started writing and sent some notifications.

I wished I could despise you, but could I really?

"Is this enough?" You asked.

"It is, but, no. Not really."

Why did you ask? Did you see something in my face?

What was it?

What was it, really?

"...clouds of sulfur in the air

Bombs are falling everywhere

It's heartbreak warfare..."

Drunk on Mercury Retrograde

I'm not a drinker, if anyone asks.

Not a regular one, let alone an addict.

Yet on a foreign land when the heart felt somewhat heavier,

and the mind casted by thick and heavy fog,

a cup or two made things seem lighter, even on 4 PM.

As shallow as it sounds, feeling tipsy and sleepy was nice.

Why, tho?

It was one of my favorite place,

where being lost in translation is normal.

My usual happy place, my dream home, my absurd realm...

A corner where things always felt familiar yet unknown.

5,782 km later, it occurred to me. Did that one particular planet got anything to do with all this?

How things turned upside down, moved forcefully with a ridiculous force and speed.

Perhaps, nobody was ever crazy.

Perhaps, life was never hard and tiring on the first place.

Perhaps, March was moved to a shelf labeled fiction.

Perhaps, another cup is waiting in the end, with a clink and loud cheers to welcome us all, back to the non-fiction reality.

Perhaps... perhaps... perhaps.

Oh! How convenient, my darling dear.

Before another hotel room session, to celebrate the return of tumblr here in indonesia, let us remember one cup of soy milk from the 9th floor, somewhere in KL, few months ago.

Here's to a fun 4 days ahead. Tokyo, I'm coming!

Stop! Doing what you keep doing to me...

Comfort

it’s ok, you can have some comfort food to compensate the discomfort. It’s totally fine.

not.

Shall we talk about current events?

Of how people getting stupider.

Of how we are also meaner to each other (humans and animal and basically toward every. single. thing)

Of how we, well maybe me, rolled my mental eyes way too many times in such short period of times.

Of how things are becoming more and more tiring?

Of how I hate myself and put my feelings in the most discomfort periods by thinking about those things mentioned above.

Of how, in the end, I should control my way with comfort foods.

... oh so comforting...

Happy (belated) National Coffee Day

This was a glass from last Saturday, from a cute coffee shop placed in an old colonial building right across Jakarta Kota Train Station. I was bringing my YOLO spirit, so I ordered: Ice Coffee + Coconut Water + Citroen Extract. It tasted... kinda bizarre, so un-coffee! But the (regular) coffee smells great and the place is cute. Will come back and order their regular coffee offerings next time. 

On a side note: I had a big cup of strong (instant, from a sachet. Sue me!) Vietnamese Coffee earlier today, it kept me awake and surprisingly stopped my migraine. Coffee cures, guys... Coffee is the answer!

Ice Citroen Coffee (i think) - Semasa Cafe

There are days when everything felt a little longer,

where things are exaggerated.

The glass is full;

filled with emotions and feelings, 

till it only a drop away from falling out of the brim.

These days won’t be here forever, 

of that I am sure,

but on days like these,

all I can think of was this:

(that) Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting!

including me

*If you watch kungfu movies, you’ve seen this one before. It’s called tanghulu, a chinese version of candied fruit on a stick. I saw it on a Chinatown market in Singapore. 

[lunerin]

we’re almost there…

we’re almost get to the heavenly  soy-milk-and-hotel-room-still, once more. 

so we must hang in there.

we’ll get there soon.

tho there might not be any window with natural lighting… we’ll make it work somehow.

and somehow the guitar’s playing, somewhere.

“Take my heart by the hand And lead me back to your room And sing me your tune…“

[lunerin]

feelings...

are exactly as pictured. 

It was fine and sweet and all,

at least, eventually it will be alright as it always does,

but things look messy and smeared all over the place, at the moment.

“Before opening the box, did you not know what’s inside?”

“Of course I did!”

“So, before actually seeing it, you did had the saw-it-coming-type-of-hunch, yes?”

“Ummm, uh-huh.”

Life is like a box of carrot cake.

No matter how messy it is,

you’d eat it anyway.

and so since life is also made of mixed feelings,

so...

yeah...

“I had a week that came from hell...”

Not really, but quite true.

So I lazed off at home, editing some pics and doing some Youtube marathon and then it hit me hard. DANG!

I want coffee so bad at 22:00, Sunday night. So hard, I know, right? So, I’ll just post a very late star-shaped-toppoki from a freezing Jeju Island instead. A little reminder that the weather won’t always be humidly hot all year long, and that monsters within you (and those creepy clowns) could be gone, any day now...

Any day now...

Sweety!

Haven’t had McDonalds ice cream for quite some time, ‘till I ran into it in Thailand. I’m onboard! With all the sweet promises of Thailand’s very own dessert toppings (but they ran out of some, meh.)

They were about 50% sweeter for my liking. And the toppings was too funky. But they’re easy on the eyes, no?

adulthood

Had a runny nose and this mild yet still crappy mood, so I decided to not to adult today. Watched Youtube, ate instant cup noodle and made some instant coffee for myself... But, wait. I think that could be considered a very adult weekend, no?
