future, they asked.

"Eh, udah SMA ya? Udah gede ya cepet bener... mau kuliah dimana ntar?"

Duh, pertanyaan basa-basi banget. Yet the never-answered question.... Betul 'kan? Apa hanya saya yang setiap ditanyain ini mengalami a second sudden freezing moment? Yahaha lebay banget. Maksud gue, perasaan tiba-tiba hening gitu, jadi mikirin... "iya juga ya.. gue mau dimana, ya?"
Karena yang namanya kuliah itu udah benar-benar berkenaan dengan jadi 'dewasa'. Karena abis itukan kerja, dsb dsb.. Beda sama SMA. Dulu saat gue masih SMP, gue pikir SMA itu berarti udah dewasa banget ya (ketahuan bgt korban sinetron). taunya nggak juga. Biasa aja. Jiwa raga gue sampe sekarang masih forever young, tuh.

Yaudah jadi gue udah men-list mau masuk mana aja. Rencana yang agak nonsense, tapi nothing's wrong to dream big. So bodo amat. Haha.

FTTM ITB - Bandung, Indonesia
Ini tujuan utama gue untuk S1. Pengen gila masuk sini biar kayak bokap gue <3 antara="antara" british="british" dia="dia" fti="fti" gilagak.="gilagak." ini="ini" iniiii..="iniiii.." ke="ke" lebih="lebih" ndustri="ndustri" p="p" pengen="pengen" petroleum....="petroleum...." sama="sama" tapi="tapi" tetep="tetep" total="total" udah="udah">



Yale University - Connecticut, US
Adaw. Ini tujuan S2 gue. Renacanya sih..... gue pengen kesini lewat beasiswa Fullbright. Doain ajalahya haha masuk top 20 universities in the world loh.



Columbia University - New York, US
Fyi ini universitasnya Cinta Laura. Hebat banget doi bisa masuk sini krn ini juga masuk Best 20. Gue mau ambil engineering :3



Uni of Oxford - Oxford, England
Sekolah di Inggris kayaknya seru juga ya? Budayanya seru banget. Anyway, lulusan 14 ada yang masuk sini kok. Jadi, bukan gak mungkin (;



Sorbonne University - Paris, France
Awalnya gue gapernah denger univ ini. Ternyata ini cukup bagus dan Andrea Hirata dapet beasiswa kesini. Yaudah gue juga jadi pengen..... gara-gara seseorang hehe :3



The Uni of  Tokyo - Tokyo, Japan
Satu-satunya universitas di Asia yang gue idam-idamkan. Gakdeng, gue juga suka Nanyang Tech Univ. Tapi lebih suka yang iniii :3


Harvard Law School - Massachusetts, US
Huf. Inimah mupeng parah. Pengen banget Law Schoollllllllllllllll~ jadi seimbang science dan social gue :D
Bukan mustahil. Taugak kenapa? :3



See? Nggak mustahil kaaaan.

Kenapa S2 pengen di luar semua, Net?
Simply, bosen di Indonesia. Haha sok banget ya. Bukan gitu -___- gue udah lebih dari 10 tahun belajar English, no use dong kalo gue ga praktekin sama native? Daaan mau banget jadi murid internasional. Bayangin lo sekelas sama orang-orang dari negara-negara yang berbeda. Ugh. Lovin that circumstances!

Intinya.... dream big. Karena dunia ini juga big kan. Hehe.

First Law of Motion

"An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force."
— Sir Isaac Newton


Jadi ceritanya, ternyata emang semua benda itu punya sifat males. Karena udah nyaman di comfort zone-nya masing-masing. Kecuali kalau ada yang nyuruh, barudeh kita gerak....

Padahal rugi banget ya kalo males. Hahaha

This is. Heartbreaking.

Bullying is the use of force or coercion to abuse or intimidate others. The behavior can be habitual and involve an imbalance of social or physical power. It can include verbal harassment or threat, physical assault or coercion and may be directed repeatedly towards particular victims, perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexuality, or ability.[2][3] The victim of bullying is sometimes referred to as a "target". — Wikipedia.

So here, you got the major point already. Yes I am talking about this issue; bullying.
I've been familiar with this word since I was in the last grade of elementary school. That time I really had no idea such thing would go serious; like please a 11 year old kid would never care about punching, pressing, hurting... , right?
I'm not an activist, nor an admin of quoting twitter account. But when I see something not right, my sarcasm just blows up in mind.
Here, I don't want to talk much. These 2 videos might explain everything:









Both are the victims of Cyberbullying (type of bullying through internet). The first one—Amanda, has died bcs of suicide. The second; is supported by Nick Jonas.
Each kid has the different problem. But that doesn't mean they deserve bad treatments right? Well, all living human. Even for animals. I mean look at yourself, you did mistakes too didn't ya? How come people be trying to ruin someone's life, telling him/her what to do and what to don't while they are also not that good? Man this is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

How to explain..... this is inhumane. Don't do this, please. We know words can hurt people thousands times more than any weapons. Too skinny, too fat, too ugly, too curly, too black, you cud never please society.. Being strong is apparently the only option.

No one wants to get hurt. 
No one wants to be against the world alone.
No one wants to be mocked and joke. 
No one wants to live in an oppressed and fearful life...
Because being bullied hurts, so much. You'd never understand until you feel it yourself, mates
#StopBullying. Respect.

One Thing to Learn

"Things don't always go as planned, Mr. Angier. That's the beauty of science."
— Nikola Tesla (The Prestige, 2006)


Anyone knows about The Prestige? It's a British-American mystery thriller that was adapted from a novel with the same name. I was watching it and suddenly I found an interesting quote. There's a character named Nikola Tesla, (btw Nikola Tesla did exist in the real life. He was an inventor, physicist, mechanical and electrical engineer, and also futurist.) starred by David Bowie. Yes people, David Bowie that musician. He was the one who stated that quote.

And well.. Don't you agree with this quote? I do. I mean, it's true that we can't expect what's going to happen next. For planning things, you may. But making it always come true? You totally can't. You can pray constantly, make wishes, so on.. but if it's not meant to be, it won't happen. 

Anyway. How if things we wish end up don't happen? For me (and I believe for everyone also...) it's the most painful thing. For those who've already read my post about AFS (exchange program I followed) must have known. Btw too bad I've deleted that post lol it hurts. Yes, I've imagined, expected I'd pass the selection test. But it was 'cause I've done my best for the preparation, for sure. But who knew that I..... failed? And yeah that time after I checked there wasn't my name on the list, I was burst into tears.
Just fyi I am a great stalker. I didn't know why, I stalked some people who passed the 1st stage. Knuw what? This just made my heart broken. I mean I didn't see their excitement! I don't know whether they didn't really show it on socnet or they weren't grateful enough. What I know is, if I were one of them, then I'd feel like I was the luckiest person ever. Because I REALLY. WANTED. IT. For God's sake I think I wanted that thing more than anyone else. So it's fair if I cry because I fail, right? Losing something you really want is heartbreaking. It's not an overreaction.

BUT GUYS. I'm trying to refuse my sadness. I really know how it feels if your struggles aren't paid. Yet I still remember that God directs my life. So then I try to understand that AFS isn't my thing :) it was sooooooooo hard in the beginning, but one day I'll be no longer mournful over that! 

Pals, it's funny how sometimes things don't go as planned, but the unplanned ones do and even better. So if something you wished comes true, then be pleased for it. But if it doesn't... chin up. No one knows exactly what God's planning.
Moreover, if things always go according to our plan, life will be so bored, won't it? 

Cheers, Neta.

"If loving you is wrong, then I don't wanna be right
If being right means being without you
I'd rather live a wrong doing life.."
-Luther Ingram


Feels like it's been a very long time since my latest post. I'm back, folkies!
After being busied by my school's stuffs (high school life! no wonder), finally I got back here again. So how's everyone doing? :)

That song lyric I placed on top is interesting, isn't it? It tells us about a guy who fell in love with the wrong person. He had been married and had children, so I concluded that it's forbidden.
Anyways, this song reminds me about teenagers nowadays.. No, do not think that most of teens are in love with married person -_-. I'm thinking about.. falling in love with person with the different religion.
You guys got what I mean? Well. I (and most of my friend) went to public school, so it's really different with my junior high school. I used to be in class with another students who got the same belief with me, but now everything's different. (Reminder: I'm not talking about the religion, ok?) Well for those who've never been to kind of environment like this, it must be hard for the beginning. Me also. It was hard for the first 3 months. You need to watch your words, your habbits and so on because you have friends whose custom is different with yours.

Being in the public school is evidently easy.. until you realize you're falling in love with guy who got different belief with you. Admit it, those who went to public school surely have ever been falling in love with person with different religion at least once, haven't you guys?? (or is it just me? o___o)
2 months after entering the high school, I broke up with my (ex) boyfriend. It didn't make me any desperate or something. I thought it wasn't a serious problem, 'cos my life still goes on. The very serious problem was when I realized.. I felt in love with the wrong guy at my new school. The first time I thought it was fine 'cos I was just goin' to admire him. I didn't think to make any relationships. But people, I wanna tell you don' start the fire. I meant don't ever fall for a person whom you think you're virtually not supposed to fall with. Even for admiring, (because most of cases) admiring is the beginning of loving. Trust me.

I'm a person with a curiosity. I started to think and ask some people, "Do you think being in love with the different-religion-person with us is forbidden? I don't understand why? Because basically we're praying to the same God, aren't we? The difference is just about our way to call The Almighty. Do you think it's a sin? Because I'm not sure having relationship on our age will be last until the marriage. I mean.. is it okay to have relationship with those who have different religion, at least just for now...?"
Then a friend of mine (she's also Christian) answered : "I don't really understand, but my mom told me don't start the fire. If you're having that forbidden relationship now, in the future you'll think it's fine to marry them."
Oh well. Then I found a good Bible verse that answered my question
2 Corinthians 6 : 14
Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

Yes, for Christians, it's written in our Bible. Our religion against relationship with different belief. And I'm pretty sure it's also for another religions.
So for my Christian friends and also non - who have that forbidden relationship.. I understand you very well. I understand your mindset because look, I'm also a teen :) the choice is yours.. I just wanna tell you : if you've known already it's wrong, why still continued? It's hard to accept that we were born different, but look.. I think God has saved our true mate in our future? Maybe not now, pals. Maybe later.

Whoever you are folks, a Christian, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist, do not give up your life just for your forbidden love. That's just for the moron with no brain. Yes, that song by Luther Ingram is fool; for me personally. Why imposing self with trespassed thing while there are lots of good things in our to do list? =)
Sorry for a long post and those who disagree with my thoughts!

Love,
Neta
