Kali ini gue mau curhat tentang musik. Yep.

Karena seperti biasa, gue dan Aghnia nongkrong di IndieCology sembari belajar dan mengerjakan tugas. (Ya, kedokteran dan teknik bersatu untuk belajar bersama, nggak make sense juga sih sebenernya). Dan Indie ini menjadi tempat favorit kita, kita juga udah punya meja sakral sendiri: di indie-middle, disamping jendela. Kalopun meja itu dipake orang, kata Nia masih ada meja yang bisa mengawasi (gue sebenernya juga ga paham her kind of mengawasi itu yang kaya gimana), dan tetap di middle. Pokoknya tempat sakral kita itu di middle, deket bar nya Indie.

Okay. Back to the topic.

Biasanya kita kalo kesini dari sore, daan seperti biasa. Jam-jam siang-sore itu pasti lagunya galau. Apalagi Raisa. Tapi kalo udah menjelang maghrib gitu, itu pas banget prime time nya playlist mbak-mbak sama mas-mas Indie: Ada muse, Linkin Park, yang Alternative-Rock gitu, dan juga Adelle (well, at least galau tipe Adelle lebih mending daripada Raisa). Dan.. Suasana di Indie Middle ini bak booth karaoke banget. Gue sama Nia juga sering nyanyi ngikutin lagu-lagu di Indie tanpa peduli makhluk-makhluk di sekitar. Mungkin ini kali ya yang bikin kita ketagihan kesini. Hoho.

Nah, kemaren, diputerlah lagu-lagu lama. Gue sama Nia jadi semacam nostalgia. Ngomongin lagu-lagu jaman dulu 2000an, jaman MTV, dan gimana band-band sekarang tuh albumnya ga sebagus album mereka yang dulu-dulu. Dan ngomongin musik emang gapernah abis sama ini bocah. We have the same taste.

Dari mulai ngomongin gue jadi suka lagunya The Cure, lalu kita nyanyi bagian “Show me, Show me, Show me” nya, trus tiba-tiba nyambung nyanyiin Ramones. Trus abis itu ngomongin Album-album kompilasi jaman dulu, ngomongin Linkin Park jaman dulu, ngomongin kalo dulu lagunya Fort Minor itu bagus buanget. Ngomongin Paramore yang bagusnya cuma album 1-2 doang, ngebahas kalo dulu ada Evanescene, trus ngebahas MTV awards, ngomong 30 Seconds To Mars dan album pertama-kedua nya yang bagus dan album ketiganya yang bagus banget, nyanyiin lagunya Queen yang Bohemian Rhapsody dan dimantepin pas bagian Bismillah. Ngomongin Foo Fighters, dan Dave Grohl tentunya, dan Nirvana sambil niruin bagian “Yeah” nya doang di Smells Like A Teen Spirits.  Dan Incubus dengan vokalisnya yang ganteng dan suaranya yang oh my lord bikin deg-deg-an. Intinya ngomongin lagu-lagu jaman dulu dan jaman childhood kita. Kesimpulannya adalah: MUSIC WAS TOTALLY WAY MORE AWESOME BACK THEN.

Bahkan dulu jaman-jaman Chris Brown baru banget (jaman masih pake baggy pants and baggy shirt yang keren pada jamannya), jamannya Ne-Yo, Usher, itu aja keren banget. Ga cuma Alternative ato Rock doang yang totally awesome, musik-musik begitu dulu juga keren sekali. Dulu jaman Justin Timberlake dengan Sexy Back dan My Love nya, Hoobastank, M2M trus Marion Raven keluar dan ngeluarin album solo, nah TATU juga ada, dan maaaasih banyak lagi.

And music nowadays were full of EDM. I’m not saying that I don’t like EDM at all. I like David Guetta, tapi cuma sampe album Nothing But The Beat. I like Zedd, Calvin Harris, Hardwell, Armin Van Buuren, Paul Van Dyk, Gesaffelstein, sama Swedish House Mafia. Menurut gue sih yang bagus itu doang. Kalo DJ lain kadang tunes nya too much, bikin sakit telinga. Tapi ini no offense loh ya, Cuma pendapat gue pribadi aja sih.

I’m not saying that music nowadays are bad. No. They’re just good, but not as good as back then. Cuma musik sekarang kebanyakan ga remains in our mind, our heart. Jadi denger beberapa kali, bosen, yaudah.

Mungkin karena jaman udah beda kali ya. Tapi emang beda baget sih. Ato mungkin karena gue ini nostalgia jadi perasaannya beda. Tapi intinya good music remains. Mau itu lama atau baru (walaupun kebanyakan yang lama-lama :p). Dan setiap orang punya taste masing-masing. J

Tapi gue juga ga kuno-kuno amat lah. Gue masih tau lagu-lagu sekarang yang baru baru itu. Gue juga suka. Sebut deh siapa, Pitbull, Jay Z, Fun, One Republic, Lorde, Eminem, dan lain-lain (gamungkin disebutin semua kan? Banyak banget). Cuma, mungkin belom se remain lagu-lagu dulu di dalem hati. :p

And thanks I had my childhood life full of MTV and Guitar Hero. J

It’s been a really really looong time since I write my very last post huh. It’s over 2 years ago, maybe.

And here I am now, I’m in my sophomore year in my university life. Yes, and yet I haven’t reach the only thing that i want: a good GPA. Excuse me, it’s not that I’m not studying or anything, I just sometimes am not good in answering the whole questions L But screw that! I still have this 4th semester, and the next semester, and up 4-5 semester to fix my GPA. #PrayForAnis. Keep on fighting, you have to be better-er.

Okay. Now I want to talk about what exactly my uni-life’s going right now. Yes, I never write any of that in this blog (well, I’m too lazy to write right now, it’s different from when I was a highschooler).

I study those civil engineeringf stuffs at Civil Engineering and Environmental Department, Gadjah Mada University, right now. The very first time I entered the building to attend the lectures, I was like: Oh, okay. It’s my life right now, you have to deal with those numbers, formulas, blablabla. And yes, I was really not into the environment there. I mean.. I didn’t really socialize at that environment. I did the tasks, I met assistant, I met my group, I attended lectures, then I went home or I met my boyfriend at that time. There you go, you may say that I’m a Mahasiswa Kupu-Kupu (Kuliah-pulang Kuliah-Pulang). At that time, I thought that I had enough life: Lectures, some friend, and my-that-time-boyfriend. That’s all.

But things changed after the first semester. At the second semester I joined events. And yes It changes my perpective. I met my dearest friend, and become closer and moore closer. Her name is Aca. And of course I began to know ‘em. I began to enjoy my every moments with them. I met crazy fellas. I met seniors, I began to know my seniors whom I didn’t wanna know at all before. Then I started thinking: 

OKAY I’M IN LOVE IN THIS ENVIRONMENT, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN THIS WHOLE TIME YOU SHITHEAD? And I realized that I really need another life, and this environment brought me what I really need. They trusted me. And yes, I love em all. And I enjoyed every single time to be there. I let my crazy side went crazier with them, with my friends at class. And we laughed together. Talked shit and trashy things together.

Days passed, I met another guy. And yes, he opened my new perspective. Eventhough now we’re not together just like how we used to back then but what he said to me always remains: “You need to explore yourself. Socialize more. You’re not that stupid to let your uni life goes flat.”

And yes of course. The 3rd semester goes really well in social life –except my love life. I know this environment more than before. I know more friends. And that time, I was so damn happy having times with that fellas (but I’m not really happy in one thing: love life. Excuse :p). I really enjoyed their happines. And up until now, I love to capture their moments. To see their happines is a kind of huge happines to me. Looking at their laugh and scream by viewfinder always fascinated me.

So, what’s the point?

It’s enough, I had my first semester doing nothing and that’s awful. And now I feel more loose, more human. Happier, of course. And I won’t let any single minutes of this awesome life wasted.

And I thought that,

Don’t let any single thing hold you to explore yourself. You can’t reverse the time. Enjoy every single moments that you have. Fall in love with the moments. And don’t let yourself to be bounded. Break the limits. Know more people, more and more and more each day. Socialize, because you will meet a lot of people in the future and maybe they will help you in the future. And always be good. And laugh more, you need to let your crazy side out of yourself sometimes, it’s really okay to be nuts. Don’t let anyone distract you or forbid what you wanna do. Just.. be happy, do what you love more and be good to another people. Don’t overthink about what another might think. Just.. be good. J
