As Lovers Go

She said, "I've gotta be honest,

You're wasting your time if you're fishing 'round here."
And I said, "You must be mistaken,
I'm not foolin'.
This feeling is real."

She said "You've gotta be crazy,
What do you take me for?
Some kind of easy mark?"
"You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion
But I swear that you've got me all wrong."
All wrong
All wrong
But you've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier
I'll be yours, my dear
And I'll belong to you
If you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is tailor made what's the sense in waiting?

And I said "I've gotta be honest,
I've been waiting for you all my life.
For so long I thought I was asylum bound,
But just seeing you makes me think twice."

"If being with you here makes me sane
I fear I'll go crazy if you leave my side
You've got wits, you've got looks, you've got passion
But are you brave enough to leave with me tonight?"
Tonight
Tonight
You've got me

I'll be true, I'll be useful, I'll be cavalier
I'll be yours, my dear
And I'll belong to you if you just let me through

This is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is tailor made, what's the sense in waiting?

And this is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is tailor made, what's the sense in waiting?

And this is easy as lovers go
So don't complicate it by hesitating
And this is wonderful as loving goes
This is tailor made, what's the sense in waiting?

As Lovers Go - Dashboard Confessional

I Wonder..

If we could hate someone that much.

Have we ever loved them that much?

Was it love, or was it the feeling of being loved that we love?

January the 1st

I start this morning with a nice cup of coffee, and a bowl of fried banana. Lovely morning.

2025 please be nice :)

There are days I try to learn watercolor.

Somewhere in March'24..

Hi, there!

On this hot summer morning, I feel that I have to write something. I finished my first glass of coffee. It's 9.30 am in the morning here in Chiba, and my mind is already all over the place. Well, this happens a lot. But it's okay, tho.

In 30 hour-ish, I'll be reaching Haneda to reach home.

Ngopi Pagi.

 Good morning from my first glass of coffee! :P

Dua minggu terakhir ini, setiap pagi habis subuh, disini lah tempat saya duduk, buka laptop ditemani segelas kopi susu anget. Entah usaha buat buka file presentasi disertasi, baca buku, atau entah cuma duduk sambil watsapan sama temen yang udah bangun. 

Sejak punya anak, kayaknya saya hampir selalu butuh waktu-waktu yang kayak gini. Waktu sendiri, usaha buat recharge diri sendiri yang kadang berhasil kadang enggak :P Seringnya emang butuh waktu sendiri dulu pagi-pagi sebelum mulai rusuh nyiapin anak-anak makan atau sekolah. Karna kalo nggak kapan lagi yekan?

Dulu sering juga di lantai atas outdoor sambil liat langit sama toren, kadang-kadang Kijing ikut ngopi bareng. Ada masanya pagi-pagi kerjaannya scrolling atau post IG Kotak Mainmainan supaya ngejer audience pagi. Ada masanya bangun kesiangan dan udah harus pakepuk nganter sekolah lagi. Biasanya saya jadi cranky nih kalo paginya udah sembrawut gini haha. Tapi ya mau gimana lagi. Sampe anak-anak segede gini, rasanya masih butuh terus me time macem gini. Yang beda dari waktu ke waktu mungkin cuma templatenya aja, disesuaikan seiring anak-anak bertambah gede.

Dulu pas anak masi bayi, bangun pagi bisa gara-gara harus nyusuin. Me time atau ngopi pagi berenti karna anak nangis lagi minta nenen lagi (bete tapi kerap terjadi wkkw). Lama-lama anak udah ngga nenen tapi harus nganter sekolah. Lama-lama anak udah ikutan solat subuh jadi me time nya bedua wkwkkw. Nanti lama-lama ganti anak-anak udah nggak tinggal sama kita jadi me time terus :') Life must go on.

If you are a new mom (or old mom also, haha), don't forget to take care of yourself first before you take care of your family. This a self-reminder for me, too, because apparently sometimes I also forget :P

Lah tau tau nasehatin orang wkkwkw

Q.S. Al-Insyirah 5-6

Otsukaresama deshita

Kemarin, entah kenapa rasanya down banget, mentally breakdown. Sampe akhirnya mutusin buat pulang aja kerumah, dari pada di lab tapi pikirannya kemana-mana. Akhirnya beberes dan turun ke bawah, ke parkiran sepeda.

Sampe parkiran sepeda papasan sama aki-aki yang suka ngurus parkiran.

Dia tau-tau bilang: "Otsukaresamadeshita"

Lah langsung nangis deh depan sepedah.

Ya gini deh yang namanya mental breakdown.

“Otsukaresama deshita” (お疲れ様でした) artinya “Terima kasih atas usahamu” atau “Kamu sudah bekerja keras.” Ungkapan ini digunakan untuk mengungkapkan rasa terima kasih dan penghargaan terhadap seseorang yang telah melakukan pekerjaan atau usaha dengan sungguh-sungguh. Ini adalah cara sopan untuk mengakui dan menghormati usaha keras dan kontribusi yang telah diberikan oleh seseorang.
