One Year

Been listening to: Tegan and Sara - Someday

One year ago was one of the happiest days in my life. I got a new friend. One that I've been longing forever. My camera.

It's such a weird thing to do that I let myself connected emotionally more than I should with the things I own. But whatever. So... I named him Sirius. Yep, seriously. Hahaha. Skip this post if you want because it'll sound as if I'm crazy and started talking to an object. But actually, I'm also talking indirectly to myself.

My cousin will tease me to have this typical pose with my camera if he saw this post but whatever! 

I'm Loki's mistress! I do what I want! 

Some people *cough Mama cough* will always try to separate us and don’t understand that I just need to take you everywhere and take pictures of everything. They don't understand why I need to do that, to go through the trial and error process. They don't understand why I'm taking pictures of those 'unimportant' things. They don't know that some of those pictures could turn out to be a beautiful picture that made me happy at the end of the day because it makes me feel like I've accomplished something. But they don't know what I'm capable to do with my photos now, instead they'd say, 'Why don't you learn to take those kind of pictures?', pointing at certain examples. They don't know that I can take those kind of pictures, they don't know that I can edit them in some certain ways, they don't want to know that I did the learning from the errors mostly by myself.



Sirius… We haven't go to a lot of places. We haven't seen enough of this world. You haven't been out there enough to capture the beauty out there with me. You might be bored to death (wait… you're a camera), stuck in your dry box, as much as I'm bored to death stuck inside a house when I just want to be in the wild. I know. But have faith in me. Someday I'll go out there, with you, to see more of this world and come home with tons of stories and pictures to share. Just wait. Mark my words I might be something someday. 

And if it's not crazy enough, let me just say… I LOVE YOU, MY CAMERA!!! 

Okay, that was crazy, indeed. Sorry. Coming back soon with post about Idul Fitri and so on. 

Good Friends and Good Times

Been listening to: Mumford and Sons - The Cave

Hola semua warga dunia, siapa saja yang baca postingan ini. Semoga puasanya lancar-lancar aja ya, nggak kayak jalanan yang semakin padat menjelang Lebaran. Puasa gue sendiri lumayan lancar, berhubung nggak ada kegiatan juga selain nyampah di rumah. Hahaha

Hari Sabtu kemarin gue buka puasa bareng teman-teman tersayang *cuih. Sebenarnya rumah kita cukup berdekatan, tapi lumayan jarang ngumpul-ngumpul kayak gini. Dan kalau udah ngumpul, rasanya nggak mau pulang, walaupun capek karena ketawa terus. Dua hari sebelumnya gue juga ikutan ngumpul untuk menentukkan menu dan budgetnya karena kita mau pesan tempat. Setelah selesai dan yang lain masih asik ngobrol, gue minjem sepedanya si Retno yang ternyata nggak ada remnya. Gila, gue pikir remnya masih berfungsi dengan baik, hampir aja nabrak portal gue. Begitu gue tanya dia nyengir-nyengir aja. “Ada kok, remnya… rem kaki.” Nah itu dia. 
Oke, lanjut. Hari H tiba dan untungnya kita beneran pesan tempat, karena mall di hari Sabtu itu ramenya amit-amit. Begitu sampai di tempat makannya, mbak resepsionisnya udah siap menghadang, begitu dikasih tahu kalau kita udah pesan tempat, dia langsung senyum lebar dan mempersilakan kita masuk.

Oh iya, beberapa foto disini merupakan hasil jepretan temen gue, EKY (ngomong sama dia harus pake caps lock). Tapi ada juga sih jepretan gue, tapi pake kameranya EKY juga. Soalnya gue nggak boleh bawa kamera sendiri. Birokrasinya ribet. Huh.

Kemudian… ketemu dengan wali kelas. Oke, jadi ini rasanya seperti kualat sih. Tadinya emang sempat berniat untuk ngajak beliau tapi akhirnya nggak jadi. Malu deh… Akhirnya kita ngobrol-ngobrol lah, terus foto-foto sebelum akhirnya beliau memisahkan diri untuk makan bersama keluarganya. Di meja sebelah.

Somebody dropped a date to her tea...

Setelah makan, minum, ngobrol, dan saling ledek, kita beranjak ke tempat lain. Eh bayar dulu, tapi. Setelah bermusyawarah (asik) akhirnya kita memutuskan untuk… karaoke. Berhubung weekend jadi tarifnya lumayan mahal dan takut kemaleman juga, walhasil kita memutuskan untuk karaoke selama satu jam aja. Nggak berasa banget, tapi ya sudahlah, lain kali lagi ya… Btw, ini pertama kalinya gue karaoke-an sama sohib-sohib gue ini. Kalau sama teman kuliah sih sering. Diawali dengan lagu-lagu galau, kemudian berlanjut ke lagu yang bikin goyang. Dan beginilah jadinya.....

Duet maut dan EKY si fotografer. Cukup punggung lo aja yang nampang di blog gue, KY. HAHAHA

Picture in a picture. Di momen yang sama.


Ini Srimulat banget haha


Satu lagi!

Apa yang terjadi pada teman-temankuuuu?? Hahaha

Masih belum puas ngobrol juga ternyata. Akhirnya kita pindah tempat lagi ke McDonalds, makan es krim, dan intinya sih gangguin pengunjung lain. Maafkan teman-teman saya, semuanya, mereka emang ribut banget.  :p

Different angles. 


I was busy okay


Kalo foto yang ini judulnya: "Penuhkan Saja SD Card-nya Diah". Foto mereka banyak banget gitu -__-

Wuah pokoknya kenyang banget makan dan ngobrolnya. Tapi kalau bisa nambah sih pasti nggak nolak. Hehe

Hai, cowok-cowok... tunggu aku ya

Baiklah. Sekian dulu, saudara-saudara sebangsa dan setanah air. Lebaran sebentar lagi, mudah-mudahan puasanya tetap semangat karena di akhir-akhir gini sih biasanya godaannya semakin berat... hehe

Sampai jumpa di edisi berikutnya!
