Mood :  Annoyed
Music : Nothing. Just the sound of traffic outside the WARNET.

Sebel! Sebel! Sebel! Komputer tersayang rusak!!! Well, sebenernya bukan komputernya sih, lebih tepat monitornya!!! Kira-kira 3 hari yang lalu, hujan turun gila-gilaan. Deres banget! Aku lagi maen komputer waktu tiba-tiba ada suara geledek banter. Bersamaan sama suara geledek itu, monitorku ngeluarin suara 'CLASH!' kaya suara listrik korslet itu lho. Setelah itu monitor mati total sedangkan CPU masih jalan. Akhirnya tu komputer aku shut down (aku udah hafal cara shut down tanpa mouse, cukup pake keyboard aja) en aku langsung telpon Babe. Besoknya tu monitor aku kirim ke Malang biar sama Babe bisa dikirim ke service resminya di Surabaya.
Sebel banget gak bisa internetan di kamar kos lagi. Tapi barusan aku ditelpon Babe. Kata beliau aku bakal dikirimin monitor yang ada di rumah selama yang punyaku itu diservis. Kalo Babe udah nggak repot baru tu monitor bakal dipaketin ke sini.
Aku gagal menang lomba flashfic di BlogFam. Well, gak heran sih, mengingat jam terbangku yang dikit banget (ini lomba pertama yang aku ikuti, dan flashfic yang aku kirim itu cerita pendek ke-tiga yang berhasil aku tamatin). Tapi Mas Hafiz dapet juara 1 flashfic. Salut juga aku. Sekedar tambahan, aku dapet 3 suara di pemilihan flashfic/cerpen favorit. Cuma selisih 1 suara sama pemenangnya en setara ama 2 ato 3 flashfic/cerpen lain yang juga dapet 3 suara. Mengingat tulisan-tulisan pengarang lain yang ciamik tenan, aku seneng juga dong kalo tulisanku ada yang suka.
Karena keyboard-nya warnet yang gak nyaman, terpaksa postingan ini aku akhiri sampai di sini. Sebenernya sih ini alasan doang, aku cuma males nulis banyak-banyak kok.

Mood :  Melancholy
Music : Brian McKnight - One Last Cry
I'm feeling a bit melancholy these days. And no, it's not because of the upcoming bloody Valentine's Day. I don't even celebrate it! I myself would like to blame my Filipinos friend, Ray. This is the story :
Ray and me were chatting three days ago, and I found that he likes classic music as well. Then I asked him if he had my favorite song "Canon in D" by Pachelbel in mp3 format. He asked me if I had Kazaa, and I told him that I didn't. He told me to download the program and search the song by myself. I followed his suggestion and downloaded Kazaa immediately.
After I installed the program, I searched that song and found at least 20 different versions of it (and until now I've downloaded about 15 versions of "Canon"). "Canon in D" is my favorite classic song ("Schindler's List Theme" by Williams, "Moonlight Sonata" by Beethoven, and "The Four Season" by Vivaldi are following not-so-closely behind). Among all those versions of Pachelbel's "Canon", my favorite ones are the one sung by Vienna Boys Soprano Choir (OMG! It's sooooooo INCREDIBLE!!!), the solo piano version from "Lifescapes" album, the best version from "Best Classical Hits" album (it was played in strings instruments), and the piano version by George Winston. I'm sooo damn lucky!
I've downloaded a few video clips as well (most of them are L'Arc~en~Ciel's) and another songs. Most of the songs are melancholy, romantic, sappy, fluffy kind of songs, like "My Valentine" by Martina McBride, "One Last Cry" by Brian McKnight, "Heal the World" by Michael Jackson, "Until the Time is Through" by 5ive, "This I Promise You" by N'Sync, "On Bended Knee" by Boys II Men, "Hitomi no Jyuunin" by L'Arc~en~Ciel, and various others. Now tell me, should I feel melancholy or should I feel happy in getting my favorite songs? *grins*
And to add the melancholy feeling, I've just finished reading the newest (not last) chapter of a Harry Potter angst-y fanfic. And this is a SLASH fiction, of course. I can't believe I CRIED while I was reading this fanfic. But then again, I often cry reading fanfics or watching angst-y movies.

Mood :  Accomplished
Music : The Stand Up - Hateshinaku Tooi Sora ni (OST Kyou Kara Maou)
:: Indonesian Mode ON ::
Nya...nya...nya... Akhirnya berhasil juga diri yang gak tau malu ini menghapus segala rasa gak percaya diri dan mengirim sesuatu ke SINI!!! Ho...ho...ho...!!!! *ketawa a la Shin-chan selama sepuluh menit*
Tapi karena males, jadinya cuma nulis flash fiction aja. Soalnya sindrom 'nulis-cerpen-gak-pernah-selesai'ku sampe sekarang kayaknya blom ilang/sembuh. Kayaknya aku bakal ngirim satu lagi. Mudah-mudahan ada ide yang mau mampir di otak bututku ini.
Hari jadi juga ke Toga Mas liat acara "Sambar Menyambar PETIR bersama Dee". Wuih, Dewi Lestari iku asline ayu puol yo! Anaknya persis banget sama Marcell, lucu (anaknya, bukan Marcell)! Tapi gak jadi dapet tanda tangannya. Soalnya waktu aku keluar dari bagian buku-bukunya, panitia udah terlanjur ngumpulin buku-buku yang mau ditandatangani. Aku males (baca : malu) kalo maju ke depan sendirian nyerahin buku itu. Tapi bukan berarti aku datang tanpa arti lho. Tujuanku datang kan ngedengerin bincang-bincangnya itu. Nah, kalo yang satu itu aku puas banget. Ngedengerin segala jawaban dan penjelasan langsung dari pengarang emang muasin banget. Gak rugi deh udah dateng. Salah satu alasanku nyoba nulis hari ini adalah gara-gra ngedengerin pengalaman Dee sendiri. Ternyata seorang Dee yang buku-bukunya keren banget itu juga pernah gak pede nulis cerpen karena tidak suka terpaku pada aturan penulisan cerpen majalah (yang kudu segini halaman, tulisan segini, spasi segini, de-el-el) dan akhirnya gak pernah ngirim cerpen.
Nulis flash fiction ternyata asyik juga. Yah, ada juga gunanya suka baca fanfics pendek dan drabbles. Tema lomba cerpen dan flashfic itu adalah 'Cinta'. Seperti biasa, aku milih dua cowok sebagai tokoh utamanya (yeah, in THAT kind of relationship). Setelah hasil lomba itu diumumin, aku bakal ngeposin fic itu di blog (ato aku bikin website khusus buat hasil karyaku ya?)

Still feeling a little nervous about the upcoming storm, but definitely feeling better.

Mood :  Nervous
Music : Sonata Blue - OST Maria-sama ga Miteru
I'm nervous. I'm so nervous. I'm too damn nervous! I got some news yesterday about a big storm that is going to hit Yogyakarta. This is just a prediction. The Sultan got a spiritual warning about that. Well, I usually don't believe things like that but it was reported that meteorological prediction was able to confirm that. AAAARRRRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!!!! Oh My Dear God Allah, The Mightiest and The Most Merciful, please help us!
Oh yeah, remember something. I got VERY unsatisfying marks this semester *cries*. Well, I never studied seriously by the way. So how could I even expect to get good marks? My best mark was Islamic Studies, of which I got an A. Well, I have to do better next time, I guess. I plan to be more serious in second semester.
