Northern Downpour: When I was 15

Few days ago, I rode my motorcycle from campus and I unconsciously sang Northern Downpour by Panic! At The Disco. I don't know why I sang that song. The song was released long time ago when I was 15 but in fact, it hasn't been erased from my memory.
When I was 15 and a 9th grader, I wasn't a great fan of Panic! At The Disco but one of my friend was. She showed me lyrics of the band's songs then we tried to interpret the lyrics together. Don't ask why we did that. We were just 15 years old and interested in the lyrics.
Now I'm 20 and I listen to the song again. It just makes me calm, for some reasons I don't know.

Conan for Healing

The title sounds strange, I know but it's quite true.
Last October, many people that my family knew died. One of them was murdered. Another one was my close friend.
The murder case was quite shocking until now. I thought I would only know murder from the news or fictional stories. Never in my life did I expect someone my family knew would experience it. However it happened.
Since that time, I couldn't read my Conan comics, considering that almost all cases in Conan are murder case. I was like, "There have been so many death recently without me including the fictional ones."
Yesterday, November 17th, I went to a bookstore and bought Conan. When I saw Conan, I told myself, "Why not? It's been a long time you haven't read it. Just try. You used to like it and you may still do."

I Want to Send Letter

Recently I'm interested in snail mail. I've even written one for my friend in Yogyakarta (I hope she gets it today).
Since I have some friends abroad, I actually want to write letters and send gifts to them but there are some problems. First, I can't share my home address to people whom I met online. Second, sending snail mail abroad is quite expensive for me.
If my journalism club had basecamp, I would use the basecamp address to send letter. Oh, maybe next time I'll write more about my journalism club.

Hello Again

I haven't posted in this blog for quite a long time. Hello, I come back and I will write again.

Nut and Pepper

They come, stay, then go. They sometimes pour this town with some nuts, sometimes pepper. People don't know who they are. Once upon a time they wear rainbow coloured robes, other time black shirt. They even have floral and stripped clothes. However, still people don't see who they actually are.

Note
Recently a friend of mine told me, or challenged me, to write fictional story. I myself don't write fiction often so I wrote this post as an attempt to write fiction. I just wrote what came to my mind so don't burden your thought by thinking who "they" are in that story because I don't even want to know. If I find out it will be nice, if I don't then I will still be fine. What do you think about this post then?

World Suicide Prevention Day

I've just known that today, September 10th 2014 is World Suicide Prevention Day. Keep on living, everyone!
This is a quick post. I will write more later. I just want to say that no matter how bad we feel about our lives, we can still find good things actually.

Some Disney Songs and Leo Tolstoy

I watched some videos of old Disney songs: "Beauty and the Beast" and "A Whole New World". I then thought it would be good if there was a violin cover for any of the songs and I found a violin and piano cover of Beauty and the Beast. The cover is beautiful, in my opinion. I opened Google while the song was playing and today, Tuesday, September 9th 2014, Google celebrates Leo Tolstoy's 186th birthday. I viewed the amazing Google Doodle and listened to the beautiful cover. I took that as treat for myself.

P.S. To be honest, I haven't read any of Leo Tolstoy's works. I have ever read Anna Karenina synopsis, not the novel.
