Melody of The 6th String

I'm so happy today.

And excited.

This afternoon, Tanti, my coworker, brought her guitar. For the past few days, we've been talking about doing a cover song and upload it on SoundCloud. So far, it's just an idea, though, and I'm not even sure we will do one (although I'd super excited about it!), but considering the lazy atmosphere during the holiday season, bringing guitar is, without any doubt, a joyful remedy.

To be honest, I (almost) didn't do any work today. I was too distracted by the music and singing. There weren't that many songs that we practised, but it was incredibly fun. Tried to do some (very basic) chords, too, but I could almost play nothing. Hahaha...

But still, it was so fun!
I love music, and I always envy those who can play instruments. So far, the only instrument I can play is my own voice, and it's not even that good. That's why, I'll gladly grab the chance to learn instruments if there's one.

So fun.

Really, reaaaaally fun.

Can't wait to try the strings and sing again!

About seven years ago, right after I finished high school, I found blog. Thanks to Indonesian most-famous comedy writer, Raditya Dika, I started this form of what I previously thought as an online-diary. Yep, previously.

Soon I learned that it's not just about the small things you do in life, but also your thoughts, your concern, your moments, your world that you're willing to share with whoever reads it. You don't just babble. You express.

After I enrolled to university, I wrote less and less. At that moment, sharing your life through words, for me, was exhausting and time-consuming. And also more boring. Activities like hanging out with new friends, tweeting, etc, turned out to be more exciting.

Then I completely stopped blogging when I got my first job.

It's only lately that I realized I need to write again. 

Sure it might be hard to start something which I've abandoned for quite a long time. My fingers and brain feel stuffy and heavy. But it is exactly why I have to start doing this thing back. I'm not a person who can say what's in my mind verbally and spontaneously. Thus, words are my refugee to speak my mind.

So, last but not least, welcome to this blog. Grab your coffee and enjoy the drizzling story of my life. :)
