Food Review
Milan Pizzeria Cafe is the perfect place to eat and hangout for three reasons. The first reason is that the place is very aesthetic and comfortable. Milan Pizzeria Cafe, which is located in Margonda Raya street number 514, has vintage interior design complete with old barrels, cans, and even a vinyl player. There are also art pieces hung around the place, which really caught my eyes as I walked in. The most impressing thing that fills this little restaurant is the swing seat for the outdoor seating. Not only pleasing the eye, the cool and dim atmosphere makes the restaurant so comfortable to hang out and relax. Furthermore, Milan Pizzeria Cafe has good service. The little number of staff did not bother me because all of the them were very friendly. One of the staff told us that the food will be ready in 20 minutes, but in fact it only took them between 10 to 15 minutes to get all of our order on our table. The last reason is the price in the restaurant is rather cheap for its quality food. This restaurant is excellent for college students who want to eat out, but don't want to spend a lot of money. Milan Pizzeria Cafe's menu consists of basic italian food and lots of appetizers. I actually tried their cheese penne and classic pizza, which consists of meat and cheese, and I think it is really great, especially for their price. This restaurant also has promos such as, discount for groups of people from five to more than fifteen people and discount for every time you show that you have followed the restaurant on Instagram. To sum up, Milan Pizzeria Cafe is an excellent restaurant because of its comfortable and wonderful interior, great service, and inexpensive price.

Redemption?
Over my trip to Singapore a couple of weeks ago, I bumped into some realization when I see this work of art.
This is on of the art installations in Singapore Bienalle in Singapore Art Museum (also known as SAM), Teluk Blangah by Ahmad Abu Bakar. When you enter the museum, this installation will be the first thing that catches your eyes. When you look past it, your mind immediately just thinks that "Wow this is a really nice installation. Looks rad.". The installation itself is a handmade boat filled with lots and lots of glass bottles with writings on them, there are also writings on the frame hung on the wall next to the boat.
So here's the story behind this installation: The people who wrote on the bottles are convicts of a prison with their own prison sentences for various reasons. All of these convicts are given the chance by the artist to write whatever they want on a piece of paper that will be glued to the bottles, and some are hung on the wall. What changed me after this installation is the sincere apology and regret of these people.
The other interesting part of this installation is that we could contribute. Ahmad Abu Bakar provide some paper for us to reply to the "message on the bottles". Each paper has a serial number of the convicts, and if we want to write to them we could just write their serial number and write our message and put it in the box provided.
I'm glad to know that some people still could pick themselves up after they fell. I'm glad that almost each and every people that wrote on those bottles are willing to change and they know that they screw up, and even one wrote to whoever read it to never do what he did. It made me think. Some of these people may never see the outside world again, one guy already been in prison for 20 years and going, what's the use of their regrets and their plea for redemption when they actually don't have time to act what they think? Will they family know that they've changed, that they actually want to make a change? Knowing that they will never act out what they have written, I think, will never make them be at ease. Will they forever wonder what world will be if they never commit to any of those fellony? Talking here not seeing the fact whether heaven and hell exists, will they be ever at peace?
I don't think any people want to be in that position, to know that they don't have time to prove anyone how much regret you feel and that you want to change. I personally think every people has the right to change.

Night.
It sad that I get attached to a person so fast I don't think I can live without them.When the fact is, I could disappear and no one couldn't even bother to look.

My View on Beauty
What is beauty anyway? Is beauty even objective to who a person is?Your type of beauty could not even match my type of beauty.
Who cares if you bleached your hair off when you flaunt it?
Who cares if you cut your hair so short, your chubby cheeks are ready to explode?
Who cares if you want to wear tight pants even with your big thighs?
Who even cares if you do not obey those 'fashion rules' when you feel like you are on top of the world?
Beauty is not having the perfect skin, flaunting fashion sense, long luscious hair, or even a particular type of body.
Beauty is you being yourself.
Beauty is waking up everyday smiling.
Beauty is cherishing every moment you have, and everybody you have.
Society says what society wants to.
They may screech, and they may judge, but they could not bring you down.
Next time you look at a mirror, smile,
because who the fuck cares about what they say about beauty when you're confident and rocking your own personal style.
Stay positive,

Teater Sastra Presents : Multimonolog Selingkuh
Multimonolog Selingkuh
by I. Yudhi Soenarto
Saturday, 26th October 2013
Taman Ismail Marzuki
I've always wanted to watch theatre. I'm really honored and glad to have the chance to break my theatrical virginity to Multimonolog Selingkuh by Teater Sastra UI.
Multimonolog Selingkuh tells the story through seven perspectives: a village girl turned independent career woman named Ida, a sadomasochist drummer named Zaki, a successful businessman named Hendrik, a lawyer named Fahry, a shaman named Ki Pujo Asmoro, a feminist activist named Rita, and a film director named Vijay. The whole story is centered around Ida, Zaki, and Hendrik, whilst the other four talked about how the story of those three is relevant in society matters.
I can't really explain much about the storyline of this play because it's too intricate to put into such limited words, but all I can say this play is sick. Sick in two connotations, sick as in really breathtaking and marvellous, and sick as in disgusting and disturbing. The play actually warned the audience of how disturbing it's going to be by applying age limits (17+), but truthfully, I did not see any of those coming. You may cover your ears at some times, if you're one of those people who doesn't stand graphic sadism. Despite the disturing parts, I love how the tension in the play was built very carefully, and how every details in the character, lighting and music supports the whole play very nicely. My only critics for this play is that one time when the lights changed too fast, I just assume that the character supposed to stopped talking by then, and the characters slipped their tongues a few times, but it's actually not that bad considering that you supposed to talk on a 3-hour play with no breaks.
Props to Yoga Mohamad who played Hendrik Panggabean because his bataknese was straight on,
and props to Rachman Muchlas who played Ahmad Zakharia because his gestures were so good, I could actually predict that he's a psychopath from the minute he talked. Also, props to all the cast and crews for making Multimonolog Selingkuh happened, and thank you for giving me the beautiful first-time theatre experience, especially Mr. Yudhi Soenarto, golly I can't wait for your class, mister, because you are a downright, excuse my words, badass.
Here are some photos that I took during the play.

A Post about Death
It's been a pretty depressing week, and I'm going to post more about depressing stuff thanks to the new episode of Glee that I just watched, the Quarterback. So apologies in advance.
Death.
A scary topic to even talk about. I personally am a person who is scared of death. The idea of death the first time I know it made me cried for weeks as a little kid. Something about death scares me so much that I'm terrified to wake up in the morning back then.
But what is death, really? Being absent in the real world as your spirit roams into whether it's heaven or the infinite universe. No, death is so much bigger than that in my opinion. Being dead is being away from the people who cared, being dead is making them sad for a long period of time. Being dead is not being able to hug people, being dead is not being able to say that everything's going to be okay. Being dead is knowing that your time to actually make a change for yourself and other people is up.
It's scary how death could creep by your doorstep without you knowing, and just immediately struck you as fast as lightning, and poof you're gone. That probably scares me the most about death, that it could come at any time and you didn't even have time to say goodbye or hug people or fistbump people or just smile at them just so they know that everything's okay. Because for me personally death is not as painful as them who you left. Death could be peaceful, but death for those who you left could feel so much worse.
Maybe I'm overreacting, maybe some of you say that death is a natural thing, and we will all be dead someday. But, can you help feeling helpless to what death is? Maybe it's ready to strike in a few moment and you wouldn't even know.
just waiting...
