Hi there! (again)

Sudah lama saya tidak menulis apa-apa di blog ini, padahal sebenarnya banyak yang mau saya tulis. Yah, apa daya, akses ke internet terbatas dan sialnya hal ini tidak bisa dilakukan via telepon genggam saya.

Sejauh ini hidup telah baik-baik saja pada saya, dengan segala tawa yang bisa dibawanya pada saya dan juga banyaknya kegiatan yang bisa saya lakukan. Hidup sedang menjadi tidak membosankan :)

Saya baru berulangtahun beberapa hari yang lalu, nyaris seminggu yang lalu, dan sekarang saya sedang bergumul dengan novel-novel yang menjadi kado istimewa dari orang-orang istimewa saya. Tidak lupa, novel yang saya beli sendiri.

Bicara tentang novel, saya sebenarnya sudah lama tidak membaca novel. Selama ini, dengan Hallyu wave yang menyerang seantero dunia dengan sensasinya, saya ikut berenang-renang di dalamnya: terpukau dan terhibur oleh semua yang bisa ditawarkan ombak itu. Jadilah, hobi saya membaca novel sesaat terabaikan.

Namun, setelah saya menerima novel di tangan saya, keajaiban itu kembali.

Saya kembali dibuai imajinasi dan kata-kata penulis, membiarkan diri saya terbawa perwujudan cerita-cerita novel itu dalam benak saya. :) Sensasinya menyenangkan... dan istimewa. Kemudian, saya menyadari satu hal. Menonton, menyanyi, mendengar... semuanya menyenangkan. Semua menghibur dan bisa mengisi waktu. Yet, reading is at a whole different level. It lets you shape your own world, your own entertainment.

So, readers, read! :D

Have a great day!

Thank You :)

The smile
That you give to me and everybody else as well
The kisses
That you write in your messages to me and everybody else as well
The way that you listen to my stories
The way that you remember every part of it
The way that you treat me so nicely and everybody else as well
The way that I know I'm no part of your inner circle
The way that I know you treat me as one of your friends and no more

But even those are enough for me to thank you
For making my day when you tell me I'm beautiful
For taking care of me the night I was with you,
talking until almost midnight and I didn't want the night to end
Well of course those are enough for me to thank you
For being sweet in any way you could
To me and everybody else as well

Now that I know you might not remember
and that those are just a spark in your life
But I still need to thank you for being with me in those moments

So thank you, and thank you, and a thousand more thank you :)

A. P. H.

White as an empty sheet of paper
Green as a young leaf of lettuce
Was what we were defined


Blue as a swallowing ocean
Blue as the high sky
Blue as they refer to sadness
Was what followed


But I still remember
I keep remembering even though it hurts as hell
But I still remember
I keep remembering even though hatred comes

Blaming you was always an escape
From the shame and regret for being so naive
My heart was a beautiful flower made of glass
and I was so careless in treating it
So, it was not your fault that it is broken now
It was not your fault that I believed in everything

Now, it is another shame to keep remembering
It's another shame that my real emotion is hatred toward you
It's another shame to be chained to the times with you

But will you wait and see,
I'll be free and look back to us with a smile
...and I'll give us an appropriate goodbye.
