good riddance (100 moments of my 2011)

2011 is on the edge and I'm thankful for every little thing that has happened this year. I've met new people under different horizon and taste a lot of new experiences that burst in my tounge like ecstasy. So, these are the 100 pictures of every sweet, tender, harsh, fun and esoteric moments in my 2011. Actually, I've chosed 'em from thousand pictures that settled down as digital pieces in my laptop (no kidding). I don't publish 'em all, because there are few things that I want to keep for myself. Thank you everyone for every color burst that you had splashed to me this year. Can't wait to spread another bursting color again next year :D

I don't remember the date, but it was a sunny Wednesday in October. It was the first time we met after separated in six months. It was a beautiful and delightful moment :).

Ichak came to Surabaya and spent the time by street-photography-ing around the downtown. The picture was Gugun, who tried to save his film under Ichak's bag. Haha.. and Ichak teased him by doing some pole dancing :)).

fell aslept. I think Gugun might take this picture. all i remember is it was Sunday morning in October, and taken at Bagong's house in Malang.

a preparation before a gig (Malang). met some new people like komang, hilmi and emil (the ones who didn't get busy with laptop)!

Novan and Vina!  (hihi..)

beautiful, delightful.

Oh, it's almost 2012. Time runs so fast and many things have collided and crashed to the moon this year. In January to April, i went through a cold dark phase with my lyubovnik and finally in a hazy Monday, we exploded into thousands of blitzkrieg pieces. I went through a damp phase after it. You know... that phase when you feel like bumping into things and you can't stop dropping everything. He had been my golden best friend. He wasn't just a lover or a boyfriend, he was more than that. I had never been so close to a person before (i don't talk too much with my parents and they're too busy with their own circle of jobs, so you know.). It was like a finally happened noon-mare. I thought we would be cool together, but I was wrong. So, he and I decided to jump to the ocean, but in different direction. I had no map and I swam in the damp ocean myself, floating softly like a sponge, in vain. 

One day, I heard a news from a raven, he said my lyubovnik had already found a new ark. All of the sudden, something bhang my head and I was in mute for some minutes. I didn't run to tears. I was like numb. Then, i just floated away to another ocean. I didn't find any ark, but i found some boats that I could sleep for awhile and didn't get wet and salty. I also found some new friends, like the raven, the sea horse, the lilac mermaid, the fluffy polar bear who never settled his mind in a correct place, and also the seagull. I found myself sinking, floating and flying above the ocean with them. In one sunny Saturday, I received a mail from the cliffman. It was wrapped in a blue envelope with a golden stamp on the right edge of it. It said, "we have to meet under the forest's willow tree at 10 a.m next Wednesday." . I asked the cliffman, "Hey, who's the sender?". But I heard no answer, no voice, only the humming wind. I gazed around at the black sand shore and there he was, looking small in the middle of the yellow summer haze and sailing on his wooden boat to the minty forest across. And i stood still with my toes buried under the shimmering black sand.

 I finally brought myself to the only willow tree at the minty forest. It was a chillwave-y day, filled with the sun flares that tasted like lemon liquor. There was nobody there, the willow still aslept and the mayflies flew around its branches in a delightful breeze. Then, i heard somebody practicing my name. I though i knew that voice. I turned around and stared at the brown eyes over my shoulder. And as you can tell, yes.. it was him. He sank me in a tender hug and I was drowned between his arms, that felt like esoteric aquamarine ocean. We didn't say anything and sank ourselves into our own silent ocean in an hour or so. I could hear the seagull whistled from another unknown island of palm trees and the sun leaks touched our melting skin like an eternal kiss from the Goddess. It was beautiful. It was delightful. I know that until now, that we are beautiful, we are delightful. And I know one day, we will still be beautiful, we will still be delightful.

cherry bombshell

yeap, new hair colour! as red as cherry bombshell :D. i dyed it a couple days ago by myself and i'm glad the result turned out so splendour!

took this pic a month ago for my photography class at college's community. this is the only pic that i like best from 26 pics of lousy photo session. i mean.. i hate to capture girls in the way of dt class (engh.. y'know who i mean). actually the model was swell. but i hate the way the tutor gave a skank image to her). i don't know if it was me that became such a hater in every mainstream and popular stuffs or it was just a foolish photo session. blaaah... i also won't tell you a lot of good news, cuz i think i don't have that much goodness recently.  but yeah, i think my life's going splendour now. i have a nice freelance job as a photographer, though sometimes i'm tired because it consumes my whole weekend, that supposed to be a relaxing time. i have an inamorata who always makes me feel happy with little thing that he does. hmmm... i think that's all, i've told you, i don't have so much things to be told. and also, i'll post my newest picture of myself in my new hair-colour (yes, it's not black anymore!). see ya, kiddo! don't forget to catch the flares under the armpit of the sun!
