50 THINGS THAT MAKE ME HAPPY

By Amalina Elvira - Januari 02, 2017

Think that it may become my first post in 2017..

I appreciate my 2016 life. every second, every minute, every day and night.

2016.

you taught me things. a lot. broken hearts, disappointments, achievements, new experiences, happiness, and others I couldn't mention them one by one. those get me into a feeling of being so grateful and blessed. I swear.

I didn't live my life on bed of roses, neither glass of red wine. there were a lot of pros and cons in 2016. and I used to live with it. every tear that went down my cheeks, every anger that broke things, made me into who-I-am. a stronger, braver Lina. throwback to the moment I needed to attend TNT (kinda 3 days training) when it was OSCE-week-prep, the moment I got acute stress on things because trusting wrong person , or the moment I was so happy because having best friends.

I was once wanted to make 2017 resolutions, but it ended up making this post as THINGS MAKE ME HAPPY :) hope it will be able to show how I really appreciate 2016 as once of my biggest changes.

Review : A Wrinkle in Time

By Amalina Elvira - Desember 26, 2016

Dedicated to one gave me this book : Andra. freaky. skinny. jeany boy.

ps. this time, I swear, I'm trying to make better review because the previous one isn't clear enough to give you informations about the book, so good luck for me!

A Wrinkle in Time.

read the tittle and I didn't have any idea about what the book would be. saw the cover, I guessed it would give me more about realities. Nice. it was unexpectable. at first. then, I read almost 40 pages, I still thought that it would tell me more about Meg's or Charles' life, recognized that a lot of people thought they were idiots, I would be happy to see their perspective of life. But I was wrong. for the second time. I told you, the book told me more about finding their missing dad, against the dimensions. once, they succeeded their mission, rescued their father, Charles was left inside the IT (I wouldn't tell you what it really was) that it forced Meg, the one who knew Charles best, to went back and got him back.

This book was actually fulled by tricks and words, I had to think and guess where the story would go, and again, it ended up by whole-night-spent because the story was so much interesting (and unexpectable).

the good things are this book let the reader, you yes you, to imagine first what will happen even it ends up so far from your imagination. This book also gives you A LOT of quotes, because there's person (I'm not sure if it's a person) who talks with latin words. yeaaa and also good plots.

but unfortunately, I expect too much, after reading almost 150 pages I am really happy and antusias every time Meg and Charles tesser (this word sounds really cool) against the dimension. but at the end, after all their problems are solved, after find their father, after get Charles back, they're suddenly fall in the yard of their home, without knowing how they can be there. I am wondering why and how :(

but overall, the book is SO MUCH good, I am one loves poem and tricky words and I still find it inside, nice!! happy to wonder what book will be my next review!

love,

Lina

Review : Story For Rainy Days

By Amalina Elvira - Desember 21, 2016

Ended up with this very unplanned trip. We (Neo and I) finally did it!! Firstly planned to go to Jogja at 7a.m by train, we ended up going there at 9a.m. Alhamdulillah, it was all smooth ........and gentle :P

okay *back to topic*

this is actually a highly requested book review because I often post page of this 'Story for Rainy Days' book on my instagram or even snapchat and a lot of people ask me for its uniqueness. so I decide to make my second review (first is Wreck this Journal, you can find it on my so-prevoius-post) to give you at least information about this book, and if you find it interesting, you can easily buy it at Gramedia, 110k (If I'm not mistaken).

From the very beginning, you will see a very simple cover with white-based-watercolor-illustration and the uniqueness come from its very handy size. Honestly, I am so confused, whether to buy this book instead of 'The Book of Forbidden Feelings' but end up buying this book because I prefer book with a story to prose-only book. Surprisingly, this book also has very unique illustrations made by its own author, Naela Ali.

at first, I read some pages, and find very interesting yet beautiful words, but still, keep the story going. I feel so desperate, several times, imaging how if I were the girl on the book. so. so desperate. I really enjoy how Naela illustrates how the girl actually feels so desperate when her-only-lover have read the exactly same book she gave him, this is really a girl's feeling book. Writer really has good skill of writing poem inside a story. and FINALLY, it comes to the happy ending, I am so relieved that the girl-who-has-been-so-desperate finally find her own happiness, marry to a man she already loved for years, everything is so good.

PS. every word of this book, you can make it as quote or even caption :P so enjoy!!

Turning 21

By Amalina Elvira - Desember 16, 2016

Laying on my bed, realizing that it has been almost 2 months after my last post. I'm back with pictures-included-entry XOXO. I know It's too late for uploading birthday photos because it's already a month after my birthday, but I love to share togetherness drawn in these bunch of pictures.

ALHAMDULILLAH...

God gives me things I've never expected before. Great things happen everyday, every time, and happiness, blessings keep coming to my life just like waterfall.

That day. November 13th, I stayed in Yogyakarta because my parents was there. It was so nice to finally had birthday dinner with my mom, dad, and my twin sister. The next day, I woke up with a flower bouquet right beside my pillow, and that was tearing morning, I was touched. Really. I loved to remember that I have a really great family, who loved to sit around squares meters having a cup of tea, who talked about everything, love life, money, college, my future. Everything.

several days after, I forgot the date. My friends suddenly came to my house. At midnight. I was really shocked to know Mirfan have climbed my two-meters-fence just to wake me up. PS: well I'm a good sleeper. Then we finally spent night together. thank you!

I think that was two weeks after my birthday, when I got two gifts in a day, Thanks for those-who-I-won't-mention-the-name for the gifts, perfumes, clothes, everything. Even I'm still smiling every time I remember how these people gave me the gifts. LOL. I was eating that time, and suddenly they put the gift right in front of me, without saying a word, A WORD.

at the night we had My-other-birthday-dinner, I (again) FINALLY got a unicorn and a book )that I knew it was a bestseller book). I've NEVER EVER expected to get a unicorn, but here, I have guys that know me TOO well :))

last! my super lil soloist sister, kak Ifa, who suddenly came to my house right a day before I have final test. She was totally insane, I knew that she was a new driver, and SHE TOOK THE CHALLENGE, to went to my middle-far house, at MIDNIGHT, brought me bunches of donuts that I myself couldn't eat it all by myself (obviously) and again, a flower bouquet.

you know, for all this time, I often feel that I'm alone and no one understands me, but remembering things that they (your friends) have done to you will always makes you believe, that you're loved and blessed. Thanks God for this whole 21 years you have given to me, the happiness, sadness, experiences, everything:)

SEE YOU!

XOXO,

I trust wrong person

By Amalina Elvira - Oktober 25, 2016

I trust wrong person.
The day I told him everything, like everything.
The day I realized that it was my biggest mistake in life.

I trust wrong person.
I told the story to a backseat killer, and gave poison to the friend of mine.

I trust wrong person.
Then he gave me pills to drink.
intoxicate. and I'm drunk into it.

I trust wrong person.
and realized that I might be the dumbest person on earth.

I trust wrong person.
Wrong person.
and I stumble.
fall.

dear friends of mine,
I'm so sorry. deeply sorry.
For things I don't know it will make your life gets harder.
For thing that I'm so unthankful for having friends like you.
For things that I'm stupidly do.
I trust wrong person.

I don't know what to say, what to do, or even what to think.
I'm afraid.
I'm confused.
I'm so sorry.
I'm way too far from the word "you are sorry" because things have broke into pieces. I know.
and I'm sorry....
for trusting wrong person.
for making your life harder.
for breaking your life.
for everything.

I'm sorry.
