That's What Friends Are For

A few months ago while i was in highschool, it was my senior year. and i was so worried about college stuffs. i really wanted to study in University of Indonesia. it had been my dream for so long. it was after SIMAK. i applied for faculty of medicine in UI, but it wasn't my luck, i didn't get in. i got rejected. i was so down when i heard the news. i cried and i became doubtful about my dream. i thought that getting in to that university was far away from my ability.

But then my friends and my teacher supported me. i became a hard-worker. i studied all the time. there was no time for having fun while i was trying to reach my dream. and then, two of my good friends, Faradina Alifia Maizar and Raihan Arlan, they took me to Ratu Plaza. they wanted to buy some dvds, and they asked me to came along too. so there i went, for that one day, i tried to have some fun with my friends.

Turned out that they have a favorite dvd store. the sellers there, they already knew them. cause Raihan and Dina oftenly come to that store and buy bunch of dvds. so when i went there, i was surprised that the sellers welcomed us very warmly. then they (the sellers and Raihan and Dina) talked about some stuffs. i was quiet all the time. and then, one seller, asked "Ini kalian bertiga pada masuk mana kuliahnya?" i didn't answer that question. oh, Dina got in to faculty of economy University of Indonesia through SIMAK, and Raihan also got in to faculty of medicine in UI. they both got in to UI through SIMAK. but i didn't.

Then Dina answered "masuk UI." then the seller "oooh! hebat hebat! ini yg cowok masuk UI juga?" "iyaa." and then the seller asked again "kalo ini yang satu lagi?" i knew that she was talking about me, but the minute i was trying to answer that question, Dina answered "dia masuk UI juga"

I didn't say anything again after that. i dont know why, maybe i was so sensitive back then, but i felt touched by what she did to me. remember, i was so down when it happened, i was questioning my ability to get accepted in UI. so, every support that i get from anyone would mean a lot to me.

Well, i had been studying everyday until it was the time for UMB test. it was my second chance to get in to UI. i got the confidence back cause i studied very hard. but when the announcement day came, again i got a bad news. i didnt got in. i was rejected again. you could never know how down i was back then. also knowing that SNMPTN would be held a week from then, and it was my last chance and i hadnt prepared anything for that test.

I lost my spirit to study again, but then thanks to my friends, and also my teacher, they supported me. Raihan and Dina, they sent me messages via bbm, the text showed how much they supported me. i was gonna post in here in my blog, but then i decided to keep it personal. but after i read that texts, i started to study again.

And then, finally, good news! i got in to UI! and that was not just because of me, it was all because of the people behind me that keep supporting me when i was so doubtful about myself. so all i want to say is thank you, thank you for believing me. you guys have seen my best while i was at my worst. and for that, i owe you big time. so once again, thank you!

:)

my friend told me:
if you read a book,don't read the chapters.
the story will never ever change.
it stays the same.
Move On.

hmmmm well,thankyou for cheering me up after this kind of day. the bad day.

never mind

when i had a bad day,no matter what the reason was,i always wanted to go home.and today,i was having a really really bad day,and thank God, i was finally at home.not really at my house,but i mean with my friends.with my really really good friends,who i feel comfortable with.i don't need to talk about my problem,but they already make me forget about it.they really are my people.my favorites.and thanks to God,finally at the end of the day,i feel much happier than i've felt today.

the greatest bonfire

i've just had my best bonfire in my life.i've experienced bonfire several times,once in my elementary school,once in my junior high,and three times in my high school.and the latest bonfire i've had,is the most memorable one so far.

it's not because it just happened recently,but it's because it is the moment when practically everybody in that place shared their thoughts,their stories,and their feelings(hehe) at that time.and another one good reason is that's the bonfire that my friends made,it's not made by my teachers,or by someone i don't know,it's made by my friends and i mean this literally.

we made it since it just the woods untill the fire came up,and i must say that it's not easy.first,it was raining.so,we had to wait till the rain stopped.then,we gathered around and tried to light up the fire.when we poured the gas,there was just a little fire,not the big fire like our wish.so we tried to find another thing to light up the fire even more.we used dito's axe-it's a perfume-,but still it's too little.we can't call it bonfire if it was just that little.then there we were,trying to find another thing.we burned tissues but nothing happened.we almost canceled the bonfire,and we said such things like "katanya anak ipa,tapi ga tau cara nyalain api" or "aduh coba bisa kayak hermione,bisa nyalain api terus dibawa2 di botol".some of us were dissapointed when the fire didn't work,so we kept trying to light it up.

then i had an idea,maybe a stupid one,but i didn't care,so i said to my friends "eh kalo minyak kayu putih bisa ga?".then my friends laughed,i already predicted it.but one of them asked me to took it.so i took it,and i handed it over to my friend.he poured a little of it first and kabooooom,the fire was bigger than ever,but still not big enough.we "hurrraaaaaayed",well at least we found thing that could light it up.and then my friend do the stupid thing.he threw the bottle away!i mean,we still need it to light up the fire because the fire wasn't big enough.and there was more in the bottle to make the fire bigger,but he threw the bottle away,so then we didn't have anything to light it up.hahahaha get it?

after that,we all had no idea anymore.in that desperation to make a bonfire,my friend had an idea.he took his skybattle towel and he twisted it around and around.and then there it was,slowly but sure the fire became bigger and bigger.so we "hurrraaaaaayyeeed" again now that we could make a bonfire.and it turns out to be my most favorite and memorable bonfire in my life.

so after that,we woke up some of our friends who were still asleep,it was about midnight i guess,i didn't remember the time percistly.so i sang "wake up everyone,how can you sleep at time like this?" to my friends who were still asleep.i know i didn't have a good voice-i admit it- and maybe that was why they were awake.hahahaha.

then,we gathered around the bonfire and shared our thoughts.thoughts about our class,our friends,and our experience,and also some of my friends took pictures.one by one,my friends talked about how they felt about our class,including me.i also told them how happy i was to be in this class.and i was surprised by some of them,because it was almost everybody that was in that place shared their stories.and i guess,it was their really really deep and true feelings.for example,i never thought that one of them was scared of not being accepted by us.i never knew it,untill then.so we talked along,untill it was about 3 in the morning.the time just run so fast when you're happy.after that we sang a song together.oh ya,i wanna tell you that some of my friends,when they were talking,they cried..so i guess,it was really really one moment that was so precious to share.i really wanted to cry too,but i couldn't.i was laughing sooooo out loud with my friend,tissa.i didn't know why we were laughing while the others were crying,but it just happened.hahahah i guess,we always find something to be laughed about.after that,we sang a song.it was "ingatlah hari ini" by project pop.heeem,it was a moment in my life that felt like a movie.and there it was,tissa and i cried.while everybody stopped crying,we cried.hahahah i do not know why.and it just felt like a movie again,when somehow after we sang that song,the fire burned down.ahhahauah can you call it a coincidence?don't think so.

well,that's all.that is my greatest,my best,my most favourite,and most memorable bonfire ever in my life.

*thankyou all for giving me that precious moment to share


*and sorry for my terrible english hehehe

bring back my bonnies to me

to my dearest class,XI IPA 1,i made this one especially for all of you.

whhheeheeeeeeewww!gue baru kira kira satu jam yang lalu balik dari puncak.kan ada acara perpisahan kelas gitu deeeeeh.dan wwwhoaa ternyata seru sekaliii!meskipun mungkin kalo lo satu sekolah sama gue,dan melihat kondisi kelas gue dari waktu ke waktu,lo akan melihat betapa suramnya kelas gue.kayaknya kelas gue itu THE REAL IPA dibanding kelas2 ipa yg lain.pelajaran pa nasuki,sibuk ngerjain soal.pelajaran pak arifin,hening kayak kuburan (bingung kan,kok bisa bisanya pelajaran pa arifin hening?).pelajaran pak yusuf,tetep aja masih hening,tapi itu sih paling gara2 yang ngajar dia,dia kan punya suatu efek yang membuat orang-orang yang dengerin dia pas dia lagi ngomong,diserang rasa kantuk yang ruaaaar biasa.dan yaah mungkin emang begitu,tapi ga apa apa kok.karena ada sesuatu yang jauh lebih penting dari itu semua.hewheewwhew,kayaknya gue bakal kangeeen banget sama kelas gue yang ini.sebenernya kelas gue biasa aja,bukan kelas yang paling ribut (pastinya),bukan kelas yang paling heboh,bukan kelas yang paling berisik,bukan kelas yang paling paling paling deh pokoknya.tapi ga tau kenapa dan ga tau sejak kapan,gue mulai sukaaaaa banget sama kelas gue, meskipun kadang yaaa suka kesel kesel juga dikitlah sama beberapa orang,tapi kan itu wajarlah yaa.sebenernya ga usah jadi kelas yang paling berisik atau kelas yang paling heboh buat bikin lo merasa nyaman di kelas lo,tapi yang dibutuhkan itu sebenernyaaaaa apa ya,gue sendiri juga ga tau hehehee.gue pun ga pernah kepikiran sebelumnya kalo gue bisa ngerasa nyaman dan ngerasa bakal kangen sama kelas gue ini,yang penuh dengan orang-orang aneh yang bener-bener aneh maksud gue.freak mungkin lebih tepat.tapi sebenernya semua orang itu freak sih,ga ada yang ga freak.tapi ternyata dari waktu ke waktu,setelah mengalami banyak hal yang bikin gue kenal sama anak-anak di kelas gue,gue jadi semakin suka sama mereka(bener lhooo kata pepatah,tak kenal maka tak sayang.uehueuuahua hanya sekedar intermezo saja).dan sekarang setelah gue sadar gue telah melewatkan waktu satu tahun bareng mereka semua yang freak dengan cara mereka masing-masing,gue jadi pengen lagi sekelas sama mereka semua.tanpa terkecuali lhoo.(sekedar intermezo lagi,ternyata bener juga kata pepatah yang lain,you'll never know what you got till it's gone,heheheuha).ohya terus ada satu hal lagi yang bikin gue ngerasa dua hari di puncak bareng mereka yang baru saja gue lewatkan,adalah dua hari yang udah ngasih banyaaaaak banget cerita cerita baru ke hidup gue.hal itu adalah kita sebenernya punya beberapa tempat tujuan yang niatnya pengen kita datengin pas lagi di puncak,salah duanya (heheh bener ga sih) adalah pergi ke curuk dan cimori.tapi ternyata ga jadi karena berbagai macam alasan.daaan ternyata dengan kita cuma di main-main di villanya prilly aja,udah nyenengin banget.meskipun kerjaannya tuh kalo ga nonton dvd serem yang bikin rumah penuh dengan orang-orang yang jejeritan,main ayunan sampe mabok(gara-gara tissa,ngajakin main ayunan dari matahari belom terbit sampe mataharinya udah tinggi),berenang sampe menggigil,bbq-an sampe perut mau meledak gara-gara stok daging yang superduper banyak,ngabisin cemilan(khusus buat ini gue ga ikutan,biangnya tuh sebenernya intan),main sama si kelinci yang ternyata manja sama semua orang yang baru kita beli,main twister sampe paha kram(i mean this literally), atau cuma duduk-duduk di teras aja ga membuat kita bosen sama sekali.you can find fun everywhere,as long as you get your best buddy anywhere(hahahahha itu baru kata-kata yang gue bikin sendiri).tapi bener kan?mau ngapain aja,kalo ngelakuinnya bareng temen-temen lo,pasti bakal kerasa berkali-kali lipat menyenangkannya dibanding kalo ngelakuinnya sendirian.yaaah pokoknya juntrungan dari semua hal yang gue tulis kali ini adalah gue sayaaaang sekali sama kelas gue.

somewhere between all our laughs,long talks,stupid little fights,and all our jokes,we became good good friends

a story to share

heeey!i wanna share my story about my bestfriend.she is a great friend of mine,she is someone that i practically grew up together with.i've made friends with her since i was in kindergarten untill in junior high.she's like my sister to me.but even the closest sibling argue with each other sometimes.that happens to me too.we've argued soooo many times till i can't count,from the little arguement till the huuuugggeeee one.but still i knew that in the end of the day (or the week sometimes) we would be friends again,no matter what.even though there's no apology from either of us,but still we'd be friends again,it just came natural you know.that happens when you know someone sooo well,that it makes you and her/him don't need an apology to make up.right?

but now we go to the different schools.and sometimes,distance and time can change your relationship.i haven't met her since a couple of months ago,and now i miss her.yeah,i do.loosing someone you usually spend your days with,gonna remind you all of the small things you've been through with her/him.even though the thing you remember's just a simple one.for example,i remember when i and she went to the cinema together but we watched different movie.i watched harry potter3,and she watched spiderman2.remember when those movies were in the cinema at the same time?that was when it happened.i am a harry potter big fan,and she is a spiderman's.so instead of watching it together,we decided to watch different movie.simple,but it makes you remember.

you know the quote that says "boys come and go,but friends stay"?(i don't know the exact quote,but at least that's the point).i think the right one for me is many people come and go in your life,but only true friend will leave the footprints in your heart.hahahhaa cheesy yea?but it's true,well at least for me.

bye.
