"Interviewer: What makes you happy?
Alexa Chung: This is a disgusting answer,
but hanging out with my boyfriend makes me happy."
(As told to Elle UK magazine, April 2010)

If This Is Interesting, Well, Think About It

"So hard to let go of a long term relationship.
Is it because you really love your partner so much
or
is it just because you're used to be with your partner
that you can't imagine living life without them?"

I once asked this to a close friend who's currently been dating her boyfriend for almost 3 years and who's previously dated her ex for 4 years. She paused, thinking for a while before finally saying "You're right. They're not quite different."
This has been caught in my head for months and this thought came simply because I was never able to stay in a relationship for a long time. That close friend of mine said "It could happen that we were still in love but well, I can't lie on the second thought, though."
What I mean with the second thought is that the relationship gets more universal, just like your relationship with your brothers or sisters at home. If somebody asks you "Do you love your sisters? Do you love your brothers?", the most probable answer is "Yes, I do" because it's kind of been programmed in your mind that "He's my brother, I love him. She's my sister, I love her" instead of asking yourself "Do I really love them? If yes, then why I do?" In my opinion, it's sort of the same thing regarding to long term relationship. My statement is also based on someone who's been married for more than 20 years who once said "Been married for more than 20 years then when you look at your spouse, it's more like looking at your sibling. The same person who you sleep in the same room with, the same face you look at when you wake up and before you go to bed. The only difference is you have children from them."
This is such a random thought but kinda scares people (who's been in a long term relationship) when I ask them about this cause they can't even tell whether it's more the first thought or the second thought. So, well, which one are you?

Sweet Escape

Went to this superbly cozy place last Saturday night with him.

(Picture taken from here)

It's Burgundy Dine & Wine, located on Jl. Maribaya No. 163 Bandung.
A cozy yet far-away-from-city-crowd place.

And here are some pictures taken by me and him.
Kinda messy and random. Well, amateurs, though. :p

This is my Prawn Pasta and Hot Mint Cappuccino.
(The pasta looks kinda messy cause I already ate it the moment this picture was taken)

This place has always been a favorite!

It's All Fair Game, Anyway

Always love girls in bands. ♥

Extraneous

She said I'm not her star
Just because I couldn't sing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star'
He said I'd much better be locked in a jar
Just because I threw him on a face with a strawberry jar

They said I'm no longer their shoulder
Just because I couldn't cry nor make them feel better
You said I even get worse
Just because I'm never able to ride a horse

So, what is a star?
Something hanging in the sky so far?
What is a jar?
Some place to lock somebody like me in?
Well, what is a shoulder?
Some place of mine to put all the burdens on?
And what is better?
Some word used to defeat you in any way forever?

Okay, stop questioning
Too many questions only make them ask for some action
And I know I can't pay attention
Just because I got nothing to lie on..
