on the fourth avenue, the night said hi and the rain wiped away my tears as the sky played its finest overture wrapping my stone cold heart with the gladness of warmth when I glanced the lonely street, I yearned for your eyes looking deep into my wound and telling me, ‘it’s gonna be alright’ […]

Cannonball
Title: Cannonball Artist: Damien Rice Album: O Enchanting melody, heart-touching lyrics, beautiful song Still a little bit of your taste in my mouth Still a little bit of you laced with my doubt Still a little hard to say what’s going on Still a little bit of your ghost your witness Still a little bit […]
Lonely Girls
“Lonely Girls” is a song written and played by one of my favorite band, Suede. This band marked my teenager years and I personally think that Suede is the it band for the 90’s era. If one day I make a screenplay about my adolescence years, “Lonely Girls” will be my ultimate soundtrack. The key […]
Transatlanticism
Title: Transatlanticism Artist: Death Cab for Cutie Album: Transatlanticism Listening this song, my mind wanders elsewhere. Swaying my heart, embracing a longing heart, humming a hymn to come home. The Atlantic was born today, and I’ll tell you how: The clouds above opened up and let it out. I was standing on the surface of […]
“You Deserve to Be Loved”
Selama ini, semenjak kita masih kecil, masyarakat mengajarkan bahwa… Sebagai perempuan, mungkin kita untuk diharuskan untuk belajar menata rumah, berbicara yang halus, berkarier di bidang yang tidak menghabiskan banyak waktu di luar rumah, tidak boleh pulang malam, jangan terlalu sering bergaul dengan laki-laki (supaya tidak disangka murahan), jangan terlalu sering mengkritik, jangan tertawa lebar-lebar, jangan […]

A Letter from Jakarta: Dear Franz Ferdinand…
Dear Franz Ferdinand, Thank you for coming to Jakarta, wiping our tears while our medias are busy exposing corruption that makes us gasping for just a breath. We’re singing “Fallen are the virtuous among us, walk among us, never judge us”. Playing music, dancing, moving, you burn the fire in us, “this fire is out […]
[petak umpet di bus kota]
duduk di bus kota aku mengenangmu takdir rupanya suka main mata kulihat tawa-tawa kecil kita cubitan mesra gerutumu manismu pongahmu dan aku yang menggeleng-geleng ada di dia, di mereka, di dia, di orang itu laki-laki di depanku, perempuan di belakangku lama kubiarkan takdir merengek-rengek menyeretku untuk membalas ajakannya kuberi permen, ia merengut kubelikan susu, ia […]
Peace, Love, and Rock ‘N Roll
Sudah genap dua minggu, saya kembali menjadi budak kapitalis, demi meraup sesuap nasi dan kalau bisa, sepasang sepatu Louboutin dan segepok tiket keliling dunia. Hari pertama, saya lalui dengan santai-santai saja, mengenal lingkungan kantor, menghafal nama rekan-rekan di sana, berusaha mengendus gosip-gosip insider, mencatat orang-orang kunci yang harus saya sambangi kalau saya butuh ini itu.
