Corrine by Metronomy

Saya bukan fans bangetnya Metronomy sih, baru tau band itu juga setelah nonton konsernya di Bengkel, Jakarta. Hahaha nonton konser tapi gak pernah denger musisinya :-p. Tapi setelah itu jadi tau mereka dan dari beberapa lagunya sangat catchy dan saya suka. Corrine adalah salah satu judul lagu mereka di album The English Riviera. Corrine corrine corrine...bagus banget sih namanya!

Sketsanya di buku, pake pensil warna dan drawing pen. Ngeditnya pake apps Typic Pro di handphone. This style wasn't so me...tapi lagi pingin lebih 'neat' aja. 

The Chronicles of Twenty-Something

Okay, just thinking and wanting to write it. I'm trying to sums up what was going on in my circle of friends nowadays. And yes, including mine. So here they are:

• The 22 y-o world biggest problem: Her career has just started.

• The 23 y-o world biggest problem: Nobody's loves him.

• The 24 y-o world biggest problem: She has all the confidence in the world, but little achievements to show.

• The 25 y-o world biggest problem: Confused. She seem to enjoy both cartoons and news. Everything is confusing.

• The 26 y-o world biggest problem: He know it isn't exactly what he thought it would be.

• The 27 y-o world biggest problem: His ex-lover is getting married.

Pelangi Island, Jakarta : Behind Story of Teri Kacang Diving Club

Oke, kemaren-kemaren saya lagi males nulis. Jadi mari sekarang aktifkan kembali blog ini. Anyway alamat domain saya yang www.vforvieta.com udah gak aktif yaa...sekarang saya balik lagi pake dot blogspot dot com. Kenapa? Ya itu tadi, males ngurusnya. Ntar deh domain itu saya beli lagi pas web nya emang udah nggenah.

Marilah mulai ceritanya. Jadi gini, pada bulan April saya dapet rejeki pergi ke Aceh gratisan dari P3I karena udah ngebantuin bikin e-book Citra Pariwara 2012, diajakin bos saya *thanks Boss!, cerita lengkapnya bakal saya tulis di post selanjutnya, kapan-kapan hehe. Nah pas di Aceh itu saya ditraktir discovery diving (istilah buat diving tanpa lisensi) di Iboih, Sabang. Gak tau kenapa, tapi seinget saya masih bagusan dasar lautnya Karimun Jawa deh daripada di Iboih, yah tapi pokoknya tetep hepi karena udah lama kan ya gak discovery diving dan akhirnya punya foto underwater keren hihi. Oh iya, buat pertama kalinya juga di sana ketemu sama Lion Fish huhu aku suka. Nah dari situ, ada obrolan tuh sama sang bapak bos, Pak Ricky Pesik, yang juga diver kondang di Indonesia Raya. Eh segitunya gak yah? Hahaha abis bapaknya ini mungkin udah log lebih dari 200 kali di Indonesia, pastinya ada tulisan "Ricky Pesik was here" dimana-mana. Kata Bapak (panggilan saya ke pak bos), kalo emang tertarik buat nyeriusin dengan ngambil diving license, ntar bakal beliau subsidi. Hore! Langsung ngangguk-ngangguk. Singkat cerita, saya dan lima orang anak kantor Satucitra Advertising lainnya memulailah cerita perjalanan kami menjadi penyelam berlisensi pada akhir bulan April 2013.

Happy The Legal Age Day, Mila!

Mila ini pacarnya Randha, temen SMA saya yang ngerayain ultahnya yang ke-21 di taun ini. Berhubung mereka pacaran berjarak Jakarta-Singapura, jadi proyek ilustrasi berseri ini (dengan seenaknya) baru saya beresin selama dua bulan hahaha. Maaf ya, Ran lama :-p. Aduh Mila tapi kamu cantik banget hehehe.

Umur 21 saya waktu itu lagi ngapain ya? Kayaknya masih kuliah dan belum punya duit buat ngerayain n bikin hari itu spesial, jadinya saya sekarang lupa saya ngapain ya? hahaha.

What Does Travel Means To Me?

Freedom.

In longer words:

...of being in moment, stepping outside my circle line, living new places with new cultures, having fun, breathing in everything, making mistakes, learning myself and the world, losing my way, getting tired, experiencing things first hand, falling in love with people, appreciating a thing what I called home.

Celebration of Love!

Minggu depan, tepatnya tanggal 6 Juni 2013, dua orang temen saya di kantor, Iru dan Iqbal akan menikah di Makassar. This is only a little piece for celebrate their massive love! I'm sooo excited! And happy too... :-)

Short Story #1: I Want You To Know But I Don't Want To Tell You

(Notes: I ain't good in English writing. For practicing, I make short stories. This is my first, inspired by destination romance I heard on the road does happen. Yes, romance, yes. That's one of reasons that keeps life alive, right?)


It was fine January night in Penh’s Hill the first time I met you when I was wandering. In the middle of my first ‘lost in translation’ moment a while, years ago… I saw your face.
Deep sort of way I intrigued my book I only read once and did not think or speak of much with others that night… I saw your face.


Loved it in quiet. You and me were quiet.
