Instant Love

         One of the thing that bothered me when I read a book is instant love, I don't understand why an author decide to make their male and female protagonist to fall in love exactly in the first time they meet, it's not romantic, it's absurd. There is a case when the main character is a soulmate who fated to be together and made for each other and when the male protagonist meet the female protagonist for the first time, he/she/or they just BANG! suddenly head over heels over each other for the next minute, the so called 'Fate' is definitely loose a brake. Love need time to invest then grow so I don't believe in instant love, think again, even instant noodle need times to be ready, moreover love, right?

Danur by Risa Saraswati My rating: 3 of 5 stars Synopsis "Jangan heran jika mendapatiku sedang berbicara sendirian atau tertawa tanpa seorang pun terlihat sedang bersamaku. Saat itu. mungkin saja aku sedang bersama salah satu dari lima sahabatku. Kalian mungkin tak melihatnya.... Wajar. Mereka memang tak kasat mata dan sering disebut... hantu. Ya, mereka adalah hantu, jiwa-jiwa penasaran atas kehidupan yang dianggap mereka tidak adil. Kelebihanku dapat melihat mereka adalah anugerah sekaligus kutukanku. Kelebihan ini membawaku ke dalam persahabatan unik dengan lima anak hantu Belanda. Hari-hariku dilewati dengan canda tawa Peter, pertengkaran Hans dan Hendrick—dua sahabat yang sering berkelahi—alunan lirih biola William, dan tak lupa: rengekan si Bungsu Johnsen. Jauh dari kehidupan "normal" adalah harga yang harus dibayar atas kebahagiaanku bersama mereka. Dan semua itu harus berubah ketika persahabatan kami meminta lebih. yaitu kebersamaan selamanya....

Epitome

Sewing machine and a book, two things that accompanied my everyday life constantly, if not sew then I'm reading or vice versa beside doing other basic human activities, that's pretty much I do. Kinda boring yeah, but since that two things is a few of things that I like to do, it's not that bad. I go to the big city almost once every months to do bargains and seek a little adventure and learn the art of life in big cities and spent my life in the countryside for the rest.  I'm not the most friendly person around, not chatty and have a sense of humour that need a time to get used to find it funny.  This blog is created a few years ago and I do crappy job to keep it alive, I find it hard to update it often with my limited english skill combined with my lack of responsibilities. So this year I want to make a purpose for this blog to be a place where I learn to write properly. I'll write about random observation of my surroundings, mundane things that intrigued me an...

Greeting from 2015

Wow, so its been two years I skip writing here. It's 2015, I'm still sew, reading books more than last year, my english skill hit a rock bottom than ever and begin to draw again. Took two years to gain a courage to start draw and still a baby step now. I'll rambling talk about books, exact book, that trigger this desire to write again. So I read this YA books about an alien, not my usual things yes, it's an enjoyable book at first but given it a YA, angst all over the place, the drama and heroine who keep doing stupid things again and again make me tired more than read man-eating dragon, war, decapitated theme book. I'm in denial phase that I can't sit well anymore with YA books, enough amount of teenager drama can make my eyes fall out of socket bcs its rolling too much but in other hand I believe there is a worth searching YA-gem that not involved love triangle, too much drama and angst filled every inch of the paragraph. 8.9.15
