Coffee and Contemplation - 1

on
  It was a pleasant evening, and I always order a Japanese iced filter whenever I spend time at this particular slow bar in Jakarta. As I sipped my 50k-something coffee, my mind began to contemplate the passage of time. Ten years ago, I only paid 18k for the same menu item, the same beans. I understand how inflation works, and I know that coffee crops depend heavily on nature to thrive. Yet, as I sat there, I realized how drastically prices have skyrocketed over the last decade—not just for coffee, but for everything. Even though my salary has increased fourfold in that time, I still feel as though my buying power has weakened. It wasn't just the price of the beans that bothered me; it was the realization that the cost of living is quietly eroding everything I’ve worked for. I won't go into the weeds of government mismanagement, but it reminded me of a scene in The Trial of the Chicago 7 , where Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s character asks Sacha Baron Cohen’s about his contempt for hi...

Tripl3 Play: My Kind of Relationship

on


Let's play another MTv Tripl3 Play. Since Google changes the way Youtube official account videos linked, I can't put those videos here. Suck, right. But let see if this little cheat work. Click on every link to know my Tripl3 Play videos. Let's play!

My kind of relationship usually start with this where my fangirl mode is on. I went crazy over a guy. Obsessive. I want him and no others will do. I knew how it works. Showered him with attention, until the boy is mine. Then again, you lose nothing when I became your fangirl. I am an ultimate fangirl who will open your opportunity in career. Really.

And he's in my palm! So we move on with this where we spend weekend together. Oh, don't worry about the bills, I love to pay. We're living in a dream any couples will do. You can kiss me anytime, anywhere. I treat you like a king, like a baby, like a savior. I can be your lover, your mother-hen, your best partner in crime. I could be anything. You won't get enough of me. And the best part is I never said 'terserah'. I'll do all the planning. You can sit back and enjoy.

But the worse thing about fangirl is I'm so possessive. I want you forever. I want you 24/7 a week. I can't if you're not around I want you only for myself! Beside you need nobody else. Only me. Only us. And I can be nasty if you don't go according to my words. Oh, baby, let's be alone together, where I can own you for myself without anyone whispering on your ears saying how crazy I am.

So at the end, the guy lefts. And my heart is broken. But not for long. Because even when I dressed like a nightmare, and follow you until you love me, you will love me. At one second in your life you will love me. See you around my next mistakes.
