• Dear April

    Dear April, It’s been a while since we last talked. How could that happen? I thought I had no idea. We had started as strangers, then grew closer and closer until I could read your mind and vice versa, and then we became strangers again. What do people say about the hottest beginning always has…

    Somewhere Along the Way

    Somewhere along the way, on the train that ran at speeds up to 198 mph, or at the busy station with people rushing with a cup of coffee in their hands, you silently crept back into my mind. Maybe I should have erased all your photos that are safely stored under a folder titled ‘Flash…

  • Tête-à-tête

    Hello, It’s been a few months since the fallout, but we’re okay. At least, I pretend we’re okay. As much as I want things to get like it was at the first time, I really can’t disremember about what you did.  I know you meant well, but sorry, that didn’t turn out great. Saying the…

  • Twenty Twelve

    I cannot thank God enough for this year. Things in my bucket list have been ticked off one by one.

    Most people will go to Brussels, Antwerp, Leuven, Liège, or even Ghent when they visit Belgium. Not many know that this little town has so much to offer, probably more than other cities ever do. This town is located in Flemish Region, one station away from Ostend, 20 minutes by train from Ghent. For youngsters, Bruges…

  • A Letter to Someone from the Past

      “Here’s a cheer for Karma, who has done its job beautifully.” So, how does Karma treat you, dear? Feeling alright? Remember when I said there would be a time when you were gonna be suffering and miserable and I would just laugh at you while watching you from a distance?

    Twelve Days of the Past

    Going back to my hometown has always been one of my top priorities ever since I left it seven years ago. If not for staying, than a visit would be just fine, I thought. I’ve never adjusted living in a big city, even more in Jakarta, as I said before in here. I’m never used…

    The Aftermath

    Nobody told me you would come without saying hello and recede without bidding adieu. By the time I realized that you had been there, you were far gone. It’s like wanting to capture the sunset at dusk and doesn’t realize it until it’s over.
