To-Read List for Holiday... by Me.

Fellas, people, helllloooooo! Let me inform you all that this week I have four days for final exams and after that I can be free from this... dungeon. Kidding, it's just university. I know it is not important you, anyone! But I am soooo happy, I could die! :333 So what's the problem if I tell you about it? *don't answer! It's a rethorical questions*

I have few plans tho for this break. Well, it's not well arranged yet, but I do know what I wanna do, at least for the next three months. Let's hope I don't die of boredom. In other side, I have broken up with Janne :" May he rest (from this relationship) in peace. I hope you are happy now, babe.. I mean 'dude'. And I hope he will read this blog sometimes! :p

Anyway, let's focus on the purpose why I want to bother myself to write this goddamn post, while tomorrow I have a bloody exam. Why? Because I am so excited! Soooooo excited, not because tomorrow is the second day of final exam, but there are some books waiting for me to read them this holiday :p OK, it sounds good tho.. and at some point it sounds lame for avid readers out there. Hey, I'm just enjoying myself, I don't care what people would say about this.

So here are the books on my list :

1. Cinta di Dalam Gelas (Andrea Hirata)

This is an interesting book, because there are actually two books in one package. I did read the Padang Bulan, so this holiday I must finish the other side of the book.

2. The Geography of Bliss: One Grump's Search for the Happiest Places in the World (Eric Weiner)

Ahah, I bought this book when I was still a high school kid. I know I must finish this book now or never. I have read it actually, but I have always stopped in the middle of the book. I think I got lost and now I have to go back from the start, for the second time.

3-4. The Buru Quartet (This Earth of Mankind - Bumi Manusia and Footsteps - Jejak Langkah, but I haven't bought the other two books of this quartet yet : Child of All Nations - Anak Semua Bangsa and House of Glass - Rumah Kaca) by Pramoedya Ananta Toer

When I bought these books, my father seemed unpleasant. Everyone knows Pramoedya! These books are serious one, I see, but I really really want to read these books. I need to up grade this brain. I read the reviews, and maaan, it looks so damn good. I haven't bought the second and the fourth book, tho. First, because those books were sold out and second... I don't have enough money :p

5.  Please Look After Mom (Kyung Shook Shin)

I was surprised when I found this book was sold for Rp20.000,00 only! I went on internet and read the review, man it's so good, it even has more than 3 stars on goodreads (not four, but 3.7) so I bought it immediately. I don't read book which is written by asian author much actually (and by asian, I mean other authors than Indonesian), this book will be my second. I have no certain reason, not because I am a racist or what. Maybe because I don't find many Asian's translated books that I'm interested into. My bad. The first asian's book I read was... Soji Shimada's Tokyo Zodiac Murder. It was a very good book! I even cried in the last part of the book. Now let's give a try to this book :)

Okaaaay! Oh, I'm too lazy to post any pictures of it :p So, this is all, people, for the book stuffs. I will try to write some reviews of the books when I finish reading it. And also my first year in university review, I won't forget. So, okay. Have a nice day, and wish me luck for the exams! :)

Patah Hati Maksimal

Seminggu yang lalu, saya ngegodain Ika habis-habisan gara-gara Zayn Malik keluar dari 1D. Sebagai orang yang nggak nge-fans sama 1D ini adalah bahan yang mengasyikkan untuk ngerjain temen yang suka suka suka banget sama 1D *Take a note that I am not a hater either! I was joking around*

Si Ika emang kayaknya rada kesel gitu gara-gara Zayn keluar. Dan saya pun move on dari perkara Ika dan Zayn Malik. Saya kembali hidup normal, tenang, bahagia, syalala.. sampai akhirnya hari ini saya ingat semua makalah yang harus dikerjakan saya buka facebook. Ada notif komen dari status mbak-mbak ND yang menge-tag saya, itu udah lama banget, sekitar setahun lalu kalo nggak 2013. Saya baca komen-komen barunya...

Ada link ini

Saya nggak ingat makalah saya lagi. Saya cuma nangis. Nangis sambil izin repost.

I just can't believe it. I've been listening to them since 2008, I was only 13 years old girl. I was only middle school kid. I remember I had bad times back then in high school and their songs took me away from my life. I also remember back then in 2009 when Ryan and John left the band, I read them on the newspaper. I cried.. so hard. Ryan was my favorite member of the band and he made me dreaming that someday I could date someone like him.

After that, P!ATD isn't the same for me. Their songs aren't as great as before. Something was different but I wasn't sure what that was. I prefer their old songs than the songs on their 2 newest albums. 'Vices & Virtues' was quite good tho, but I just don't listen to 'Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!' so much. I only like one or two songs in that album. Don't get me wrong, I am now almost 20 and still listening to them, their old songs mostly tho.

No Ryan, no Jon, and now no Spencer. This news hurts my heart. I know it's a cliche but I grew up with this. Anyway, I am just a fan.
