Acquaintance
I saw him standing on a bridge this morning. At a friend he was smiling.
I stood at his blindspot: captured by his eyes but not his vision.
Becomes awkwardly funny each time I remember,
that a mere month ago,
He used to be able to see his own reflection in my eyes.

30 Days of Life Images Day 17 Beauty
Nothing is as vain as a peacock <3
so fabulous, dandy, and… beautiful<3
I always love peacock’s feather, the pattern and the color. I also like to try on some make up with no where to go :) My favorite eye shadow is “Merak Kasmaran” (“enamored peacock”) from Sariayu color trend 2009, Pesona Jawa Timur (“the enchantment of East Java”)
These pictures, the whole process, are one-man show. Number of people involved: one person. Just me. the whole make up, photo shooting, and also the editing. I’m even the model myself :|
But i reaaaalllyyy enjoy it! :)
I know it’s nothing but a narcistic photography, but with more effort :p
And seeing the final result, i’m quite satisfied. I hope you also like it :)

in fields of dawn and forest of the night,
and when you stand before the candles on a cake,
let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make”

This is to someone whose birthday is today :)
I searched everywhere but seems like the number 2 candle is sold out…
30 Days of Life Images Day 14. Hate
I hate it when i accidentally step on my beads container so that those tiny beads scattered everywhere. Like what happened just now.

30 Days of Life Images Day 13 (What do you think of) Love
Today it came to my mind that love is like medicine.
When you’re sick because you fall in love (auch ♥), then some love is the medication.
It would help you to feel better—if you consume it with the right dosage.
Sometimes inflicts addiction.
You also need to take it regularly in certain period of time.
And don’t forget—too much of it will kill you.
Today the person i care the most is sick, and I wish i could do something to the make him feel better. I hope some “love” will do. Get well soon, Hon :)
30 Days of life images Day 12. Communication
What a coincedence that this card arrived today to answer the daily theme :p
This is my favorite kind of communication—how to keep in touch with someone far away. My beloved (and also lovely) L sent this card from her hometown Singapore, which was supposed to arrive around my birthday 2 weeks ago. But apparently due to the Holiday season, the post company delayed delivering it, and just today it arrived at my door. Unfortunately, i went out with my mother the whole day, and it rained very hard then, so when i got home and found this card, it was already soaked wet :( I’m sooo sorry L! But the card is nevertheless beautiful :) (tho’ the graphic is not shown in the picture above)
L and i are both “romantic” people :p we appreciate sending cards or any mails by regular post. When we were in the Netherlands, we used to send each other postcards when one of us going somewhere abroad (Most of the times we travel together, though :p).
30 Days of Life Images Day 11. stray animal
flawless white fur,
beautiful blue eyes,
then how could he be a stray cat?
He was not a stray cat. He belonged to me, once. Our beloved pet. At least when i went to the Netherlands in summer 2010 he still was. When i came back, he wasn’t there. My brother said he’s been missing for a months. I thought he died of food poisoning or get stolen for he’s so lovely. But the my bro assured me that he was still alive and somewhere around in the neighborhood.
This afternoon, when i took a walk around my neighborhood to find objects for today’s theme, i incidently found him. He sat on a stone wall of a dentist’s house on Jalan Madura.
That eyes, he didn’t recognize me anymore. When i reached out to him, he ran. I felt like Dayang Sumbi and he was my Sangkuriang :( I observed that his face was full of scratch. But by his attitude, i can proudly say that he already become an alpha male. Untouchable, uncatchable, untamed.
I looked at him in vain, thinking that i did not find my long-lost pet. Instead, i find an appropriate object for today’s theme:
a stray animal.
30 Days of Life Images Day 10. A Special Person.
He’s special because he’s always on my right.
He wears a bracelet, identical with mine, both of which he bought upon his trip to Eastern Indonesia.
He wears it on his left wrist, i wear mine on the right.
So when we’re holding hands (and he’s always on my right side) those bracelets will meet.
When we walk side by side,
when we cross the street,
when we watch movie at theater,
He’s The Mr. J 9 who called me “Miss J 10”
and I call him,
“Mr. Right”
:)
30 days of life images Day 9 (b). Teacher
I have another thought when preparing for today’s theme (I’ve been posting double posts for 3 days now… i know. Sorry.) I wasn’t sure i would meet any teacher today, because i would have a date in Ciwalk and anything else so i wouldn’t make it to visit any school to take a picture of a teacher. But then i look inside my bag and found this “Indonesia Mengajar” Book. I took it with me almost everyday because i haven’t finished reading it and hoped I can read it during my spare time, traveling time between one place and another, anytime.
Yeah, why not? This book was about Pengajar Muda (young teachers?) distributed to remote areas throughout Indonesia. A program that I am currently participating in (more info about this program: http://indonesiamengajar.org/)
But then (when i took this picture), i haven’t checked my e-mail. I did not realize that today there would be an announcement for the first selection stage.
And it wasn’t until 30 minutes ago that i knew i passed it. I passed the first selection, thank God. The second selection, direct assessment, will be held during the end of this week, am still waiting for further information about it. Hope I’ll succeed until the last selection process :)
Hopefully i can achieve being one of these “teachers”, 4th batch ;) (Pengajar Muda angkatan IV :p)
Wish me luck… till the end :)
