Tentang Angan dan Masa Depan

Setiap orang pasti punya mimpi dan cita-cita masa kecil. Begitu pun saya, sejak kecil saya bermimpi menjadi seorang astronot. Saat itu saya mengagumi kehebatan astronot yang bisa melampaui langit hingga ke luar angkasa. Saya pikir astronot adalah cita-cita yang tertinggi karena tidak mungkin ada yang melampauinya. Namun, mimpi itu kian pudar dan kabur. Beranjak dewasa, saya mulai menemukan realita yang lebih nyata. Lulus SMA, kuliah, lulus, kemudian bekerja.

Suatu ketika saya menemukan barang-barang usang di sudut rumah, yaitu sekotak penuh rapido dan penggaris cetakan huruf berbagai ukuran. Ternyata barang tersebut milik mendiang kakek yang tak pernah saya temui. Beliau adalah seorang arsitek, walaupun tidak menyelesaikan studinya di perguruan tinggi negeri, ia aktif mengajar di perguruan tinggi swasta ternama juga aktif menjadi konsultan pengawas konstruksi. Kurang lebih begitu yang diceritakan mama. Seketika tumbuh angan-angan untuk melanjutkan perjuangan mendiang kakek menjadi arsitek.

Tahun 2009, saya mengikuti ujian nasional dan Ujian Saringan Masuk ITB. Dengan angan-angan menjadi arsitek, saya memilih SAPPK dan FTSL sebagai pilihan kedua padahal katanya memiliki passing grade yang lebih tinggi. Alhamdulillah, saya diterima di SAPPK dan setelah 1 tahun menjadi mahasiswa TPB, akhirnya saya diterima di Jurusan Arsitektur. Setiap semester saya disibukkan oleh Studio Perancangan Arsitektur yang sangat menyita waktu, 8 sks setiap minggunya. Berbagai tugas saya lewati mulai dari menggambar paprika, membuat mock up shelter, merancang rumah tinggal, asrama, hotel, kantor, hingga perancangan tribun sirkuit pada tugas akhir.

Tidak terasa, sekarang saya sudah menjalani tahun ke-4 saya, baru saja dinyatakan lulus dari tugas akhir. Tersisa 2 bulan kerja praktik, lalu saya akan menjadi sarjana teknik, dan menjadi arsitek.

Mungkin.

Tetapi saya selalu ingat kata-kata dosen favorit saya, "...setiap orang itu sudah menjadi arsitek, arsitek untuk hidupnya...".

Spotlight!

"People change. Feelings change. It doesn't mean that love once shared wasn't true or real.

It simply means that sometimes when people grow, they grow apart."

How Could You?

"for all the things that you said

for all the lies that we pledged

for all the very best days

how could you do this to me?

the things we did to stay sane

the walks we had in the rain 

the places we used to hang

how could you do this to me?

for all the love that we shared

for all the times that we bled

for all the path we walk down

how could you do this to me?

your laughter under the stars

the times i slept in your car

the people we made fun of

how could you do this to me?"

What if

"What if i give you my smile?

Are you gonna stay for a while?

What if i put you in my dreams tonight?

Are you gonna stay until its bright?

What if i do ignore you?

Will just walk away and cry?

What if i did disappoint you?

Are you gonna say goodbye?"

Book Binding for New Semester

Hopefully this semester is the last semester of my study. I made a perfect mood booster for facing my new semester, it was a new notebook for my study. I made it myself. Here is a bit sneak peak, how i made my new notebook.

At first, i bought some double side pattern paper and laminate them so that the cover get rigid. I use a coptic stitch book binding for my new notebook, and here is the list of my preparation :

front and back cover

pages (at least 3-5 signature)

needle

thread

scissors

The good thing of using coptic stitch binding is it requires no glue and perfect for making a sketchbook, because the book will completely flat. You could see the coptic stitch book binding instruction from this link :

The instruction very clear and easy to follow.

Now, i'm in love with some cute stamp too.

I bought some pattern, there are a man with a glasses & moustache, two bird in love, two chick with their mom/dad, happy quote, and some pattern. I use the black china ink to give some ornaments in my new notebook. :)

Whatever Will Be, Will Be

When I was just a little girl

I asked my mother, "What will I be?

Will I be pretty, will i be rich?"

Here's what she said to me

"Que Sera, Sera

Whatever will be, will be

The future's not ours to see

Que Sera, Sera

What will be, will be"

Welcome Home Ton & Tom!

Yesterday, i bought two penser fishes, and gave them name Ton & Tom. Ton has orange fin & tail and Tom has the white one. I also bought a new aquarium for Kimmy & Dolly, they need a bigger one, so that they can swim freely and stay healthy. I put Ton & Tom in my old aquarium instead. I hope all my fishes stay healthy and have a long lifespan.

And don't forget to say hello to Ton & Tom! Welcome home!

"you ask me to write down the word love

i didn't know the first letter, nor the rest

i took the entire alphabet upside down

but graves merely fraud words

don't ask me to write down love anymore

this letters of mine isn't enough

do not even suffice for your name"

Ubiet & Dian HP     

"being in love means being yourself and love will find a way..."

Kimmy, Dolly & Cody

On my 20th birthday in October 2011, i got present 3 little goldfish with a round aquarium. They all belong to Oranda Goldfish Family, particularly in species of Red Cup. They are characterized by a prominent raspberry-like hood in their head, fat belly and a pretty long tail. I gave them the name : Kimmy, Dolly and Cody.

One day, the aquarium got cracked and my dad bought me a bigger aquarium. I was so happy because in a bigger aquarium, I could attach a water filter for them. It would make the water much cleaner than before. Nowadays, my fishes seem happy and healthy in their new aquarium. 

Goldfish eat a lot and digest fast too. Because of that, they make the aquarium cloudy, so I have to clean the water frequently. One time, something bad happened, my fishes got sick. They got some black dot on their head and tail. I was so worried about them, I gave some medicine to stop their sickness. Afterwards, the dot reduced and they got better.

Later on, in one morning, after I had woken up, I checked my aquarium. I was shocked. One of my fish was dead, Cody was gone. I was very sad and upset. Since then I promise to myself to take care them much better.
