"One of the reasons I love flickr is for how it allows us to peek into the lives of others and see what/who they love, what they do, what they are about. Sharing the gifts of their lives. There are SO many levels of that kind of 'life' on your photostream...in your work, in your art, in your love for those around you and everything you show us with your photos.... it never ceases to amaze me. And it inspires more than you know. Thanks for being you."

I don't know what's going on with me. I feel like no one, again. This year has been tough, I know, but one thing that I didn't notice much earlier was the aftermath. I'm not sure how long it takes for me to recover.
It's like, the higher I go, the more lonely it is. I lost my passion for writing, been doing lots of photography and suddenly I stop. My heart is playing tricks, I know should beat it, but I don't know why I let myself get drown in it. Every day I wake up and it's like, what mask am I going to wear today? I grow weary and tired. The burden feels so heavy, I feel like no one's there. Or maybe it is somehow true? That no one's really there? I feel numb. Where to go from here? I used to be strong, did I? Then what happen? Can somebody please explain to me? Maybe I need more time to cover up the pain? Since when I start losing the grip? The higher I go, the more lonely it is...

The world we live in is filled with the characters, objects, images, and in a general way all that constitutes the virtual reality of theater develops. We are trapped inside that theater, and I am in love with the digital artist. Labels: Almost Honest |

I'm not an early riser and everyone I know has noticed that *ops. But sometimes I'm forced to wake up early and actually I enjoy it. No, I'm not forced to wake up early because I have classes in the morning. I don't have any morning class ever since I graduated from my bachelor degree and sometimes I grin stupidly because I feel so mature and sophisticated because of that. Call me lame, but whatever :p I have every right to enjoy this private pride! *grins This morning I woke up early because I had to attend a medical examination in CBD. Until today, I didn't realize how peaceful it was to walk in the City early in the day. It was not crowded at all, and the air felt really, really fresh. But most of all, what probably I love most is to get on the train early in the morning and just zoom out with a good book on my lap. Today's book was On Writing by Stephen King. Another book that I swept from RMIT library. I keep on thinking that, as an author, I can never go far. I'm always trapped in a cliche, no matter how far I want to bail. For a long time, I think it's just me, no other author has ever doubted their talent. Not even once. This is the basic foundation that made their creation envious and worth a best selling. Apparently... I am wrong. Stephen King has proven it. He kept hearing his teacher saying why he wanted to waste his talent, why he wanted to waste his time, why he wanted to write junks. Heaps, heaps of junk. That's what I call all my novels project. "The reality is harsh, I should've realized the limit to my talent a lot sooner". This sentence was written on Departures, a Japanesse movie that I recently watched. It was just the right movie at the right time for me. The story line was just... flawless, encouraged me in ways that I couldn't explain. Writing is a lonely job, King once said on his book. Having someone who believes in you makes a lot of differences. There's someone who knows. They don't have to make a speech, just believing is usually enough. How wonderful those sentences to me... It made me realized that for so long I've forgotten that I've people who believe in me. Not even once stated their doubt. And recently, I found someone to talk a lot about my media. It's such a revelation. Today another idea was born. Al I have to do is framed it. I've currently a trilogi project, probably this one should be postponed. I want to work on the new one. I don't know why but the story line moves me emotionally. I just love it, I can't explain why. I'll post about this new idea further more, cause now I gotta run for classes. Take care!

*Dear Friends* ,
* Tahukah anda* kalau orang yang kelihatan begitu tegar hatinya, adalah orang yang sangat lemah dan butuh pertolongan? * Tahukah anda* kalau orang yang menghabiskan waktunya untuk melindungi orang lain adalah justru orang yang sangat butuh seseorang untuk melindunginya? * Tahukah anda* kalau tiga hal yang paling sulit untuk diungkapkan adalah : Aku cinta kamu, maaf dan tolong aku * Tahukah anda* kalau orang yang suka berpakaian *warna merah* lebih yakin kepada dirinya sendiri? * Tahukah anda* kalau orang yang suka berpakaian *kuning * adalah orang yang menikmati kecantikannya sendiri? * Tahukah anda * kalau orang yang suka berpakaian *hitam *adalah orang yang ingin tidak diperhatikan dan butuh bantuan dan pengertian anda? * Tahukah anda * kalau anda menolong seseorang, pertolongan tersebut dikembalikan dua kali lipat? * Tahukah anda* bahwa lebih mudah mengatakan perasaan anda dalam tulisan dibandingkan mengatakan kepada seseorang secara langsung? Tapi tahukah anda bahwa hal tsb akan lebih bernil ai saat anda mengatakannya dihadapan orang tsb? * Tahukah anda* kalau anda memohon sesuatu dengan keyakinan, keinginan anda tsb pasti dikabulkan? * Tahukah anda* bahwa anda bisa mewujudkan impian anda, spt jatuh cinta, menjadi kaya, selalu sehat, jika anda memintanya dengan keyakinan, dan jika anda benar2 tahu, anda akan terkejut dengan apa yang bisa anda lakukan. * Tapi jangan percaya semua yang saya katakan* , sebelum anda mencobanya sendiri, jika anda tahu seseorang yang benar2 butuh sesuatu yg saya sebutkan diatas, dan anda tahu anda bisa menolongnya, anda akan melihat bahwa pertolongan tsb akan dikembalikan dua kali lipat.

My mum said that she's old now and the doctor told her that something was wrong on her knee.
I'm here and I haven't done much to make her proud. I feel so guilty I almost burst into tears. Suddenly I feel so lonely... Labels: in my darkest hour |

Okay. Today was definitely not a good day for me. For starter, I woke up late. Again. Even though I have promised my friend that we would meet at campus for lunch. I did not know why I was kind of hazing this whole day, I figured that it was hard for me to focus on every single thing. I screwed up the refill machine in the library, causing a very long queue behind my back. Luckily there was this indian guy helping me to deal with this monster machine. Okay, not its bad, it was my bad... I thought the machine was the same machine like the one I got in my previous uni. Dear, it won't hurt to ask...! Then after seeing my lecture notes, I was... uhm, shocked. The one I got in my Bachelor Degree was totally different from what I got now. Apparently business did not required a lot of power point. My first lecture note for Digital Video & Audio was 29 pages, and video & audio got a totally different lecture notes so I was required to print both. Gee... now I started to question myself why I jumped from business to art. But whatever... it's now or never... once in my life I gotta do what I really want to do. I've done business to satisfy what my parents wanted, alright... Apparently I chose the wrong printing location, thus my documents never came out on the printing kiosk. Imagine... I was queueing 3 times, still I didn't find my documents. Gee... I loathed this kind of feeling, being stucked in some new place with no idea about what was actually going on. After hesitating (which I wasn't actually sure why), I approached the service desk. The person told me to take the stair to level one and asked one department called R something (I forgot the name). And I WALKED OUT from the library, tried to find level one. Tell me how stupid was that? Oh my, I really did not pay attention to what he just said. I felt so silly, I found him smiling when I came back to the library, and my face was all flushed with embarrasment. Aaagh...! Another hazing stage attacked me while I was doing my laundry. I was supposed to put all my wet clothes to the dryer. I took it out, put it to the nearest machine, put $4 to the machine, then... gee, I realized that I just put them inside ANOTHER WASHING MACHINE. Yes, true, I tried to wash them twice in a row. I could not help myself but laughed about it until 2 Chinese girls starred at me, confused. Oh my, what was wrong with me today? Later on that day, I went to Starbucks to buy a shot of tall Java Chips. Maybe coffee would wake my numb brain. As the barista flashed her smile, she asked me whether I had a good day and I just smiled in silent. I've met her before and she wrote my name wrongly. Too far from being correct. It was supposed to be D-E-S-H-I-A, but she wrote A-L-I-S-H-A. Pardon me but perhaps she was on her hazing stage, just like me. "Can I just grab your name for your coffee, please?" She asked, still smiling while my head was up above the sky thinking I did-not-exactly-remember and a pang hit my heart with no valid reason. A stressful, surreal, blur. "Deshia..." I said, not expecting that she would spell it right. Even my friend sometimes spell it wrong and I was already okay with that. I mean, whatever. Then she put my order on my desk and I saw D-E-S-H-I-A was written perfectly on my cup. I blinked as I reached for it, suddenly felt so happy. Finally someone spell it correctly without me telling them how to spell it! Yay-ness! Oh wait... Ugh... this would probably mean that I was the only person who stayed hazing for the rest of the day. Aw, that's sad... Labels: it happens everyday |

"Gosh, are you drunk, Deshia?" My housemate asked me when I emerged from my room this morning. I blinked my eyes and shook my head, tried to refocus my eyes but everything was hazing. I was having a painful headache due to my lack of sleep last night. I was trying to recreate my short story that I have written for my class last week. I showed it to my tutor and to my friend and both of them said that I've built a creepy situation rather than tension. So I was up the whole night thinking about how to built tension, and ended up lack of sleep. Yet, I still did not know how to build tension, and ended up creating a drama. "What time is it?" I asked my housemate. "It's 7.20. Hey I like your hair anyway. You just woke up but your hair looked so straight and smooth." I was about to groan because apparently I woke up an hour earlier but then ended up smiling after hearing her compliment. "Thanks, I do nothing. Sometimes I hate it because it's weakling. Got to go back to bed before I have to run to my class." And I ended up woke up late. My other housemate, the one who always sings anytime, anywhere, was using the bathroom for ages until I didn't have time to take a bath. Gee! But that was okay, because this chaotic morning was paid by an idea for my short story. The idea came randomly. I adored one of my classmate, her name is Alex. She has these bright gray eyes, framed with a perfect long lash (I wish I'm expert with eye make up!!), and she used to be a marketing person until she decided to quit and started writing. Sounds familiar, eh? :) Her calm appearance and her mysterious smile gave me an idea of creating a character. Following my friend's suggestion, I NAMED my character now. Hahaha... thanks for your advise, though I'm no good in picking up names or title. And so I won't bother you anymore with the idea behind my story. Here goes, my small piece of work from my final Creative Writing class. Enjoy! *** Bitter Goodbye I sit here on the train, try to look for meaning in words, but I find none. I look around and I see that everybody tries their best to make it theirs. Some make it, some fail, some are too hopeless to even try. I'm still sitting here on the Lilydale train, endeavoring to get back on track. Labels: my own fairy tale |

Hi there, whoever it is outside there... I'm sorry for breaking my own promise and abandoning this blog for almost a month. It's not that I don't have things to be written. As a matter of fact, I do have plenty of stories to be told, but it's kind of private and too sensitive I wish I just can erase them from my memory. You won't believe it, I myself pretty much do not believe these kind of things can happen to me. It was so freakin' twisted, I'm glad I still have strength to fight back after what I've gone through. I cannot say that I've nothing fun lately, but my days are currently filled with farewell I've no mood to share anything in particular. I loathe farewell as much as I loathe blood! And the first farewell was said by... RMIT. Yes, you heard it from me. I applied in RMIT, Deakin University, and Swinburne University at the beginning of April and has been rejected by Swinburne University because I don't have any sufficient working experience. The letter came just few days after I sent the letter required by them that listed why I want to study Master of Entrepreneurship in Swinburne. Yes, the letter that I sent to my friend and both of us made fun of it, putting silly reasons over there before erasing them and began to write something that (hopefully) looked sophisticated/intriguing. And then the offer letter came from RMIT and Deakin University, which practically made me jumped around with happiness. I chose RMIT, and to my surprise, they closed the application without informing me about the latest date of making payment. Yes, again, you heard it from me. I lost my chance to attend Master of Commerce in RMIT, just lika that. Just because of a simple miscommunication. And to top it up, I received that news when I was queueing in the bank, about to make a payment for RMIT. Tell me how fabulous was that? And my short holiday in my hometown? Gee... let's say I came home for disaster. I didn't want to mention it, no thank you. I pretty much tried to make up some stories about it for my Creative Writing class to free my hidden emotion and thank God it worked. I don't know if you can feel my dissapointment in the paragraph below, well I tried to make it blurry because I don't want to blurt it matter of factly in front of some people that I just met. All I want is a chance to put everything in its right place so that everybody's happy. As I turn up my iPod's volume, I stare blankly and let Maybe Tomorrow from Stereophonics make me wonder. I so want to get back on track I am willing to risk everything for it. Is that too much to ask for? My friend says everything is everything. The more you lust after it, the less you do have control of it. But who cares when everything in me means everything and nothing at the same time? It's full inside, yet it's empty inside. I've gone through a year of failure, thus I think I am through with redemption and resilience. I don't want to, I cannot move on when everything inside me is still trying hard to fit it. I feel like a jigsaw in the puzzle, endeavor to find its spot on a bigger picture somewhere. All I want is a chance to put everything in its right place so that I know what I am. What is that you try to say?
You know, when you start creating something whether it be sound or a drawing, that flow and vibe you get that doesn't want to make you stop what you are doing but create more of it. Back to the flow, I like it because it's my own style, my own beat, and it's corrupted in my own way. So I guess you can say your own path. Either way, I am easily influenced and inspired by music. A lot of things can inspire me but a few can really touch me. So, why not applying for Arts, instead of doing business again? So I did, I applied in Swinburne, who rejected my application earlier. And I got accepted. Now I've met my classmates with all their experiences, I'm in doubt. I showed my subjects to my friend, who is currently doing Master of Arts as well, and he said not to worry about it. Okay... if later it makes me worry, I'll come and haunt you!!! On the bright side, my creative writing class has encouraged me to write again. I liked the way the tutor always brought some objects to the class and asked us to express what we felt after seeing the object in minutes. It really trigger my numb imagination, and I started to pay more attention on what has happened around me. Last Sunday I borrowed some books from RMIT library about writings, and I have to say that I'm impressed to know that some author also thinks that finding inspiration may not always be the case. don't force yourself to find inspiration. Wait for inspiration to find you because then will it have more meaning and you will really enjoy it. So I'm off for now... pursuing my-almost-forgotten-writing-project. See you around, and don't get bored! Labels: Almost Honest |

"Maybe the feeling just went away..."
or "You can't blame the blueberry pie. It's just, no one wants it" Is that what happened to me lately? Would I be able to finally see the blessing in disguise behind all these troubles? Labels: in my darkest hour |

I do not want to turn 21 when both of them are nowhere to be found.
I do not want to turn 21 when all facts are misleading and has swept me off the ground. I do not want to turn 21 just to face a more complicated reality. I do not want my birthday. I just want to arrange the pile back to its place, and shout at them to let me take care of my life, which has been obliviously ruined by them. Is that too much to ask? Labels: in my darkest hour |
