Finally :)

In 6 months, I won't be sitting on where I'm sitting now. I'll probably be busy in some place else, doing something I've been longing to do. 

Yep, I'm moving.

Home <3

 What are you doing, Chiki? You silly lil' cat :3

 I will definitely miss Dimas, Dylan and especially my mom.
Ga pernah pisah, selalu bareng-bareng. Nanti, kita bakal beda benua T^T


I've experienced most of my firsts here. Thank you, Cinere, for everything.
And thank you, Jakarta, for being something I can call a home for the past 17 years of my life. :)

Mr. Right

My girlfriend's got a boyfriend, funny
He doesn't make a dime all day
And all her girlfriends' boyfriends with money
What more can i say?
It's true
He never made it through a day of school
The only thing he studied was you
He knows your body better than you do

Maybe i'm your mr. right
Baby, maybe i'm the one you like
Maybe i'm a shot in the dark
And you're the morning light
Whoa
Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best of me
When i'm the worst for you

My girlfriend's got a boyfriend, running
To catch the bus to meet
To meet up with the boyfriend's girlfriend
Who's stunning
she's such a sight to see
It's true
The moment he layed eyes on you he knew
The only wish he wanted came true
He knows he's lucky that he met someone like you

Maybe i'm your mr. right
Baby, maybe i'm the one you like
Maybe i'm a shot in the dark
And you're the morning light
Whoa
Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best for me
When i'm the worst for you

You can always change your mind
And you can't change mine
I know you can't change mine

Maybe i'm your mr. right
Baby, maybe i'm the one you like
Maybe i'm a shot in the dark
And you're the morning light
Whoa
Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best for me
When i'm the worst for you

- Mr. Right by A Rocket To The Moon -

Ada cerita sedikit dibalik lagu ini. If you wanna know, keep reading.

Lagu ini dikasih sama mantan terakhir gue, for me. Tapi kayaknya (mungkin) dia juga bermaksud nyindir mantan gue sebelum dia. Nyebelinnya, dia gamau ngaku.

 
Kenapa gue bilang nyindir?

"My girlfriend's got a boyfriend, funny
He doesn't make a dime all day"

"He never made it through a day of school
The only thing he studied was you
He knows your body better than you do"

"Maybe this is sad but true
Baby, maybe you've got nothing to lose
You could be the best of me
When i'm the worst for you"

"The moment he layed eyes on you he knew
The only wish he wanted came true
He knows he's lucky that he met someone like you"

"Maybe i'm your mr. right
Baby, maybe i'm the one you like"

Hmmmph. x___x
For those who doesn't know my story and those 2 exs, won't probably understand what I'm trying to say. But for those who know, uh, horay? :-x

Mungkin ada pembaca blog ini ga begitu bisa bahasa inggris? Google translate it.

Oh, honey honey honey. Kalau aja pertemuan kita lebih baik dari kemaren, kalau aja timing nya lagi ga kayak gitu. You are, my mr. right.

Jawabannya:
I'm stuck with a guy that I know has caused me nothing but pain. But although I know he's really bad for me, I can't resist him in my life. I should leave him, but somehow I keep coming back for more. And what I did, give me more pain each day.

1.29.2011

Sincerely me,

Are you scared of getting hurt? I do. Especially by the one you really loved. That's why, I swore to myself never to let myself fell in love ever again. I did once, I'm still 16 and reckless. Up until now, he is still the one for me. Don't get this the wrong way, what I meant by the one is... I have never ever found a guy that is like him, even thou I've dated a few others after dating him. Not, the one as in "I'm still crazily in love with him til' I die". I was terribly selfish back then, insecure, childish and well... pretty much a 16 years old would do. Until the moment I wrote this, I still can never understand why did I do all the things I did during the months we've dated. It's been 2 and a half years since we broke up, and I still can't get over the fact that I let someone as good as him go that easily, maybe you can call it as something that I regret. And I won't let this off my mind as easy as it sound to you, before I can talk to him about us - whenever that is. I'm hoping soon, or you know at least less than a year, cause this keeps messing with my head and with my relationships with other guys after him. Hopefully that won't be too hard cause thankfully, I've been talking to him every once in a while since Idul Fitri on September '10 up until now.

Anywho.
I think, I'm in love again. Unfortunately, this person didn't realize it until a few days earlier (well, at least that what he's been trying to tell me). I give my all to him, with some expectations, saddening. Our months of relationship are filled with jealousy, backstabbing, cheating, all kind of stuffs that wouldn't have happened if only we know each other better before we decided to be a couple. But yeah, that's in the past. Another lesson to be learned. The thing that really makes me sad is, after all we've been through, all the pain he have caused me, all the shits and lies he has told me... He suddenly decided to just walk in to my life again after I struggle for a month trying to get rid of him, and us. It just pissed me off. I've avoided him successfully but then, I get weak and fall for him once again. I don't mind letting him come back into my life, but not now. Not when I'm trying all of my guts to try to forget everything between us. Not when all he can say now is "I love you", "I just realized that you've loved me so much and I did all that to you, I'm sorry". Can't you see it's breaking my heart? I've loved you, so much until I realized as days goes by, I am expecting less out of you, cause I know... I'm starting to understand, how to love a person fully without asking anything in return. That is why, even thou you did all of that, I'm still fooling myself and letting my self get hurt by still staying by your side. Until I can't stand it anymore and decided to let you go, even if it's breaking my heart so badly cause letting you go would be the last thing on my mind. What's more heartbreaking was, letting you go was something you asked for from me.

Now, I know you're reading this, even thou I'm not so sure if you fully understand what I've been mumbling about... All I'm asking is:

What do you want from me now?
Are you gonna keep doing what you're doing now?

I won't (at least, I'll try) have any contacts with you in any ways until you can tell me what do you want from me. Cause all I can give you as an options are: either we try once again to be a couple, this time for real. I'm sorry but I just can't deal with the fact that we still text, call or see each other as if we're still a couple, but we're not. The second option is, back off from my life until my feelings are neutral towards you.

Yeah, Melin in love is indeed a scary Melin.

23 does not read "wise"

I have never seen a grown up acting so childish, as childish as you. While I thought by going out with you might make me feel like I’m a kid again, cause I will be spoiled, but it turns out… you are the one that needs to be spoiled (a lot) more than me. I thought by avoiding to date guys with the same age as me, will make me feel more relax. Cause if I date – and have dated a few – guys with the same age, our emotions are both unstable, so we fight often and all. So I chose to date you, but I guess, age is really only a number. Thanks for reminding me about that.

Where have you been?

Oh, i know
That i am here
And you are there
But we still have our love
We move just like the moon and sun
The sun comes up, the moon rolls down
A world apart, but they don't make a sound
They know their love spins us round

I've been to heaven, i've been to hell
I've been to vegas, and gods knows where
But nothing feels like home, like you babe
I love you more than you will ever know

Oh i've got my car and my guitar
A couple pills, a couple scars
But i made a wish on a lonesome star
Star oh star, you shine so bright
Wont you grant me one small wish tonight
That i won't die on this destructive path of mine

I've been to heaven, i've been to hell
I've been to vegas, and gods knows where
But nothing feels like home, like you babe
I love you more than you will ever know

Than you will know
I love you more than you will ever know

H+11: eye liner, propose and the game

 
Gw gatau ini hal yang biasa aja, buruk, aneh atau bagus tapi... Gw gampang banget ke influence tontonan yg lg gue tonton. Kayak wktu itu gw nonton Gossip Girls terus-terusan, and all I wanted to do is put on eyeliner. Eveywhere. I. Go. Aneh bet yak? HAHA, padahal waktu gue nonton itu gue sama sekali ga suka dan ga bisa pake eyeliner.  But now I kinda can't live without it (lebay), but my boyfriend isn't a big fans seeing me using make up, zzzz 
 
Terus pernah pas lagi ngikutin serial F.R.I.E.N.D.S di Star Movies all I wanna do is hang in a coffee shop. Ngobrol, cuci mata, nulis novel, etc. Pokoknya apa aja deh asal di coffee shop. But then I figured out that:
1) gw ga suka pergi sendirian
2) gw ga doyan minum kopi
3) boros amat gw mau leyeh-leyeh aja di coffee shop.
HAHA, I know I'm so weird and random --" but seeing all those 6 people always hanging out in the same place everyday, bikin gue jadi kepengen nyobain apa yang mereka selalu lakuin.
And for now, gue lagi suka-sukanya banget sama this geeky yet sexy Architect, Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother. So far gue baru nonton sampe season 3 episode 12 (might continue it later on tonight, teehee) and I LOVE THIS SERIES! Ahh, all the fun and wild stuffs they're doing... I've always wanted to experience it in my life. Especially Lily and Marshall's 10 years (and on going) relationship, I mean... WOW! They've only had sex with each other (See, this is ultimately rare for western culture), they're a weird in-a-cute-kinda-way couple and they always somehow manage to deal with all their problems and down sides. It's amazing. Well, even thou it's only in a movie but still... "Awww"

Secara gw tipe orang yang yah, as I've mentioned earlier above "easily influenced", satu dari banyak hal yang udah bikin gw rada berubah adalah... Now I always talk and write in English. Well, gue emang selalu ngomong pake Bahasa Inggris sih tp itu buat ke orang rumah dan temen-temen Global. Pernah beberapa hari lalu gw nyadar "Gw jadi pake bahasa Inggris mulu yah ngmg ke Ucup?" trus I asked him if it's weird to see (or in this case, read my text) me always talk in English. Then he said "Iya rada aneh, tp gapapa bagus. Sekalian aku jg memperlancar, hee" Tapi walau pun begitu gue tetep ngerasa ga enak, soalnya my tone jadi beda ngomong sama dia. It's as if I'm talking to a friend, not to a boyfriend. And he felt it too :( I'm sorry... As you can see, my recent posts are mostly written in English too.

Another thing that influenced me is, last night I somehow bisa secara sangat amat random mikir sesuatu yg absurd yet fun yet adventurous... And I talked to Ucup about it:

Me: Pu... Sini deh, aku tiba-tiba mikir sesuatu yg random banget tapi seruuuu!
Ucup: Apaan Nyu?
M: Gini, yah well... Aku rada terinspirasi sama series F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Hmm, misalnya kalo nanti hubungan kita ga berhasil terus kita putus terus ya kita move on kan. Nah tapi, misalkan by the age of yaa umur maksimal kita diharuskan udah berkeluarga tapi kita ga berkeluarga-keluarga juga... Kamu mau nikah sama aku gak?
U: *bengong* *senyum nahan ketawa* Kamu lucu banget sih pikirannya Nyuu...
M: Yee, ini tuh seru tau! Jadi bisa dibilang kayak apa yaa, we already have a backup plan untuk masa depan! Soalnya dari pada nih kita buang2 waktu lagi buat nyari calon, kenapa ga sama yang pernah sama-sama jadian aja pas dulunya?
U: Haha dudut. Hmm... Emangnya kamu mau nikah sama aku? Aku ga peka loohh, ga sensitif...
M: Tenaaang, sekarang udah mau bulan ke 7 kita jadian jadi aku yaa udah mulai kebiasa lah. Jadi kayaknya misalnya di masa depan aku sama kamu lagi, ga bakal kaget deh! Wlee ;p
U: Pfftt, nyebeliiin!
M: Hehe, gimana sayaaang?
U: Yaudah, tapi kalo sama-sama single kan?
M: Yaiyalaaah!
U: Ok, aku mau
M&U: *pinky promise*

So there you go, secara ga langsung gue udah ngelamar Ucup pffftt (  - .  - ")

Another thing that influenced me. If you're wathing HIMYM, you'll probably know that Lily & Marshall use this "pause-unpause" method if they're fighting. Jadi misalnya lo lagi berantem heboh, tp tiba-tiba you don't want to fight about it you'll say "pause" habis itu keadaan antara lo-pacar akan seperti biasa pas lagi adem ayem. Tp itu tergantung partner lo jg lagi pengen pause ato ga and when you feel like talking about it again, you'll say "unpause". I thought this method is uber cool, I'm gonna start using it. MUAHAHAHAHA :D

So yeah, bisa di konklusikan kalo gue gampang banget kepengaruh sama tontonan. Especially movies/series yang punya meaning di balik cerita-ceritanya. Ga cuma sekedar asal mensajikan konflik tanpa ada buah yang bisa dipetik, like most of national TV programs now. Sheesh, ironic.
  "Walaupun" bukan "karena" ! Aku ke kmu dan kita!

H+9: History used to be fun, until....


I'm such a stupid girl. Kenapa sih gw musti sok-sok tegar, sok-sok pengen tau, sok-sok ARGHHHHH.

Intinya:
kenapa gue sekepo itu?

Belajar dari hubungan gue yg sebelumnya, gw pikir I've learned my lessons dengan ga kepengen tau tentang masa lalu pacar gue sekarang. Karena, the last time I'm in a relationship I know too much and semakin banyak gue tau... semakin tinggi rasa penasaran gue untuk mencari tau lebih dalam lagi soal masa lalunya. STUPID. Gosh! But guess what? Rasa penasaran gw menang, dan gw kali ini dengan sengaja mencari tau super duper ultimate dalem tentang masa lalu pacar gw. Dan hasilnya? Yeap, I'm hurt. That bad.

You see, I kinda see this as uh... a suicidal that I did to myself. Sheesh, can't stop saying how stupid I am. Hal yang lebih buruk adalah setelah gue tau tentang masa lalunya (dan yaa kemungkinan emang gue ga bakal suka), gue ga bakal berhenti make itu buat dijadiin bahan-bahan sarcasms ke dia. Sometimes he's chill (on the outside) about it, but sometimes we fight about it.

Enough with the history already! AND PLEASE, for the love of God. MOVE ON, dude! Can't you see ME?

H+8: Where will I stand 5-6 years from today?

Boleh gw jujur? Gw pengen banget nikah. Gw pengen punya seseorang yang bisa gue temuin (selain keluarga inti) dari pagi-pagi buta, siang, dan sebelum gue memejamkan mata di malam hari. Gw pengen bisa ngerencanain segala macam hal dari yg paling sepele, sampe yang paling besar sama dia. I'll tell you a secret, gw paling suka belanja kebutuhan rumah di Ace Hardware or you know, like the one in Senayan City? Ah, milih-milih furniture, TV, kebutuhan dapur, kamar mandi, dll excites me! Kayaknya super duper ultimate seru :D Itu hal pertama yang paling gue nantiin if I'm married, tentunya setelah punya tempat tinggal sendiri.
 
Tapi, gw udah planning kalo gue nikah nanti gue gamau langsung punya rumah sendiri. Gw pengen tinggal di apartment minimalis, ga terlalu deket sama kota, dan cuma punya 1 pembantu yang pulang-pergi setiap harinya. Kenapa gw milih apartment, karena gue rasa awal-awal nikah kayaknya kemungkinan untuk punya rumah langsung tuh quite impossible (kecuali suami lo udah kerja lebih dr 10 tahun, dan penghasilannya super wow). Oh, it reminds me of a random conversation I had with Ucup a week ago:
Ucup: Tapi kamu tau kan, aku pengen banget punya rumah sendiri. Kalo bisa sebelum nikah udah punya rumah sendiri.
Me: Iya, tapi itu susah banget loh Pu. Cause you know, it's you. Dan bisa-bisa kalo kamu nunggu punya rumah dulu baru nikah, bisa-bisa kamu udah lebih dari 30 tahun! (fyi: Ucup susah banget disuruh hemat/nabung)
Ucup: Iya sih... Emang kalo kamu maunya gimana?
Me: Kalo aku mau nya nanti kalo awal nikah, pengen tinggal di apartment sama 1 pembantu yg pulang-pergi tiap harinya.
Ucup: Apartment? Ga seruuu! Ga ada tetangganya, ntar ga bisa main
Me: Yee, tetep main dipikirin! Think of it this way, kalo kamu udah punya rumah sendiri pas awal-awal nikah it will be uber boring! Kamu masih berdua aja sama istri kamu, belum ada anak kan? Yaa kecuali kalo pas nikah kamu udah umur 30 baru lah langsung punya anak gapapa, aku sih gamau punya anak cepet-cepet (kalo nikah di bawah umur 25) mau pacaran dulu lagi yang halal kalo habis nikah hehe. Nah terus, emang siap gitu ngurus rumah? Rumah itu ga gampang loh ngurus ini itu nya. Tapi kamu mana mikir yang begituan, kamu kan cowo. Cowo cuma bisa mikir 1 hal, dan sblum 1 hal itu ke-cek list kamu ga akan bisa mikir yg lain, beda sm cewek. Terus kita bakal spent most of our time setiap harinya not at home, we'll be working jadi buat apa punya rumah dulu? Apartment kan gampang, it's not as big as a house, terus bersih-bersih udah ada pembantu, security udah terjamin, pkoknya you have anything you want for a fresh marriage life if you live in an apartment. Well, ya itu menurut aku ya. Aku sih maunya gitu...
Ucup: Iya sih ya, kalo cowo kan mikirnya cuma 1 dan bakal fokus ke situ. Kalo cewe kan mikirnya banyak, mikirin kerjaan lah, mikir masak apa lah, dll... Apa lagi aku ya! Aku mana bisa mikir begituan, males
Me: Beeeegitulah...
Ucup: Ih si sayang pinter deh! Ga nyangka... Unyuu menyeee, udah mulai cocok jadi istri hehe

I guess, secara ga sadar gue udah ngeplan secara garis besar soal my marriage life. Like for example: I want an outdoor wedding, with simple decoration dan engga mau sama sekali resepsi di gedung! SUMPEK! Terus I want 2 children, twins, a boy and a girl... 3 will be okay, but 3 is enough. I don't know, is it just me or is it really every girls habit to plan out their D-Day?
Tapi itu bukan berarti gue pengen buru-buru nikah. NOPE. Sama sekali t-i-d-a-k. Na'ah. Umur termuda gue mau nikah is probably 24-25, lebih muda dari itu err kayaknya engga deh. And besides, gue selalu mikir this way "Well, you see... Lo pasti berharap lo nikah cuma sekali dan gamau cerai kan? So that means, once you're married you'll lose your freedom that you used to have when you're single. AND, kalo lo udah nikah and eventually punya anak... You can't be selfish, you can't just think about yourself. You have your husband (or wife) and your kids to think about. Then why rush into marriage? Lo hidup cuma sekali, muda cuma sebentar dan sisa hidup lo... Lo bakal habisin untuk ngurus anak dan pasangan lo, and you can't turn back. Jadi, nikmatin masa muda lo selagi lo bisa. Cause once you're married, you have to commit to it and you can never say 'ah I wish I didn't get married too soon'. Cause believe me, I've heard and seen that a lot. Dan gue gamau jadi salah satu diantara mreka. Gw mau, when I am married... Emang udah pure siap dan gue udah yakin sama pendamping gue yang insyallah bener-bener bisa ngertiin & nerima gue apa adanya."

Pffftt, I sound so old! (   -  .  - )

Anywho. Yeah... Marriage is great, but I guess I'll see you in the next 5-6 years from today. :)
