How It All Ends, Reborn

Two-thousand twelve had passed.
For me, it has been a year of reinventing myself. It's the aftermath of 2011. It's rebuilding it all, reshaping it all, and finding everything beneath the ruins. 2011 was all assuring that I am okay. Though it's a hard long walk along the year. But, I was starting 2012 with so much hopes and faith and optimism.

And yes it is.




First quartal.
January's always a beginning. Not big, still subtle, but you know you're taking the first step. I'm so glad that I get to meet new friends by joining church activities. It's also the start of my DIY things. At first, I just need a let out, a place to let go of any feelings inside. Accessories making and flower arranging was taking it's turn as the let out and it's becoming a thing just to keep myself busy, but it was super fun. It's also when I got my own real project to handle at the office. I got to collaborate with architects from San Francisco. And as the project's moving really fast, I get to learn a lot in such a short time. April will forever always be my favorite month. I got to spend my birthday with my family, and my friends. Presents and the attention is uber-sweet. And April is the month I started my 24x365 project. 

Second quartal.
It may not yet be the turning point of 2012, but this is the starting point. Hanging out with new friends, enjoying work so much, and I'm starting to feel so happy again. This is when I found my old-self again, through a good-friend of mine. I'm starting to remember how was I. Bought new guitar, starting to do stuffs I used to love to do. 

Third quartal.
After a very impulsive attempt, this is when, in the first time of my life, I cut my hair really short, and pretty boy-ish. Turning over from accessories making to singing and doing music covers as my keeping-busy activity. I went to Singapore to watch Sigur Ros, solo travelling. This might be the most memorable moments of 2012. Everything's like coming into place. Starting the running habit, not yet a routine habit, but I'm getting there. Coming to the end of the year, I spent a lot of time with friends and also enough with family. Though to be honest, family time's still not that much, but I still try to find time.

Closing the year, I was so glad to have my family and my friends by my side. 
The aftermath of 2011 brings me closer to new friends who now holds special places in my heart.
2012 opens doors to a lot of things, love, life, heartbreak, starting over; to me and to the people around me. Everything happens so fast I'm still grasping it in.

I didn't really have anything in mind starting 2012. I just wanted to go through the year, making the best out of it, and finding everything along the way. And it turned out pretty good. I couldn't ask for more for 2012. It has been a wonderful transition. And now, 2013 is the year I've been waiting. BIG plans for 2013. I'm hoping for new adventures, new love, and a better me.

2013 will be a year of faith, and I am very excited about it.
Universe, bring it on again!

And My Heart Goes Nananana

I never thought, listening to someone voice, for just a little bit, and most importantly where the voice is spontaneous, could make you long for the presence of that person. Like you miss them and you want to enjoy their presence.

So then I went and did this cover version of one of my favorite song by Adam Sandler on The Wedding Singer. It represents, the sweetness of someone's presence.



But then again, I wish I had a chance to say "Hello, I miss you", oh there I just did :)

Sigur Rain

The best experience ever. It's a dream come true. Never thought I would experience this. I was shivering since the beginning. Enjoying it too much it feels like a sweet lullaby. 
Nearing the end suddenly it rains. As the encore starts, the rain was getting heavier in rhyme with the beat of the song. And after the last encore, the rain stopped. It was magical. 

I was in awe. Literally in awe. I just couldn't believe it. I was still covering myself with ponchos (I was pretty sick the day before, didn't want to get worse) when I saw other people were already taking their umbrellas and ponchos of.

Magical. Goddish.
