//Finally, johanna wattime na.com is live//
ade gue pacaran. tapi skolah ngak ngebolehin. papi mami juga ga dukung. sebenernya gue juga gak dukung, tapi dia jd sembunyi2 gitu. idk it's right klo dia jd lbh fokus ke mengejar cewe dari pada ke sekolah. so, i'll just back up his decisions. it's his life anyway. siapa sih yg gak butuh dukungan? selama dia tau gue mau dia maju, whatever it takes, i'll just say what i need to say and his choices are his. period. tuhan tolong adikku...

Rambles: nga penting

yak selamat datang semuanya, saya memang sudah males mengupdate banyak hal dalam bahasa inggris. bukan karena saya ndak senang banyak orang dari luar indo yg mengerti apa yg saya tulis, namun ya karena hati sedang ingin biacara dalam bahasa ibu. jadi, ayam sori bagi anda2 yg tidak mengerti bahasa lidah saya. saya indo tulen. saya sayang indo. ntar klo saya balik, saya benerin indo dikit2. mulainya dari anak2 muda. ok? saya akan mematikan computer dan segera kembali kedalam kesibukan yg baru saja terganggu oleh pemilik rumah ini. jadi, mari-mari. saya mohon diri. puuunteeennn...

Poem of Growing Up #5: Old Slimes

Image
I wish you a belated merry christmas. New year's knocing on your door, and yet you're still thinking of the clothes you used to wear, its warmth, its enclosing grip eroded with the slime that used to stanin you. Have we gone back to a point where we once succumbed? You promise me you won't return, So put your hands beside my eyes, Dad, and keep me walking straight. Hug me tight so i can't move. I'd rather die in your arms then stranded in death's kiss

ini johanna reporting failure.
saya ngak pernah suka cowok dan akhirnya persue any of them i figured, they are not the one and they should never be selama ini, saya sadar kalau pilihan saya ini benar masalahnya, gimana kalau cowo yg selama ini udah saya tunggu, yg uda claim spot di hati saya sebelum saya sadar, akhirnya saya kikis keluar dari pikiran saya dan menjadi salah satu dari kelompok besar cowok2 yg terlupakan tapi saya juga ngak mau coba2 celana dalem sebelum beli. saya mau langsung ambil celana dalem, rasain bahannya, check ukurannya di pinggang untuk 5 detik, dan langsung beli.

Bahasa Indonesia dan kata "cinta"

Saya baru mengajarkan arti kata "cinta" dan "suka" ke satu teman vietnam sesaat dalam perjalanan keliling Leavenworth. Dengar dari teman-teman indo, ternyata ada satu arti dari kata "cinta" yang saya ngak pernah sadari sebelumnya. see, here in the states we can say: "i love this cake!" but in indonesia, it'll be awkward: "aku cinta kueh ini!" but we use the word "suka" which is equivalent to "like" and use an auxiliary word to make it more extreme: "aku suka banget kueh ini!" lucu ya, ternyata orang indonesia cuma menggunakan kata "cinta" untuk mengungkapkan emosi mereka, dan bukan sebagai expressi. i like that. great job bahasa :)

Poem of Growing Up #4: In Wait

so what's in a man that women search for? what makes them worthy of her hand that she would put her heart into loving him, and her mind into respecting him now what's in time that women run back, towards vanity, the reminiscent of the youthful charm that they once own what's in time that men work, with pain to reach a goal which will only get higher as they reach the one before what's in time that we can't wait, or think that we might not get what we're looking for if we just wait i've had enough of imagining what could be and what couldn't be. i'll just wait.
