Sinopsis:

Kepadamu, aku menyimpan cemburu dalam harapan yang tertumpuk oleh sesak dipenuhi ragu.

Terlalu banyak ruang yang tak bisa aku buka. Dan, kebersamaan cuma memperbanyak ruang tertutup. Mungkin, jalan kita tidak bersimpangan. Ya, jalanmu dan jalanku, Meski diam-diam, aku masih saja menatapmu dengan cinta yang malu-malu.

Aku dan kamu, seperti hujan dan teduh. Pernahkah kau mendengar kisah mereka? Hujan dan teduh ditakdirkan bertemu, tetapi tidak bersama dalam perjalanan. Seperti itulah cinta kita. Seperti menebak langit abu-abu.

Mungkin, jalan kita tidak bersimpangan….

Anime - Kuroko no Basuke

Screen shot of the opening

This time I wanted to share one of my favorite anime, Kuroko no Basuke. Recently, I got addicted to everything about Kuroko no Basuke.

It was actually a manga Tadatoshi Fujimaki. Right now, the manga has been published until chapter 186 (well, I saw it in manga online). As for the anime, the first season has ended at episode 25 (my friend said that there was the second season).

Kuroko no Basuke (Basketball which Kuroko plays) told about a high school student named Kuroko Tetsuya. He was the sixth phantom man who got appreciated by The Generation of Miracles. He did not have any physical abilities or other abilities. Despite of that, he was in the main team. Kuroko always said that he was a shadow. He would be stronger if the light is also strong. Kuroko’s light in his junior high school was Daiki Aomine, who had the same style of playing basketball with Kagami (Bakagami as Riko called him).

Kuroko no Basuke reminds me of the days I got addicted to Slam Dunk, another basketball’s anime. Kuroko’s calmness is like Lukawa in Slam Dunk. Well, maybe they have some big differences though. :p

Anyway, just watch this anime. You will like this anime. When I watched this anime for the first time, I directly fall in love with Kuroko. Well, enjoy it! (^____^)

Trip - Bali, See You Soon

Tanah Lot photo by Rei

That was an amazing four days three nights journey. Going to a place I never visited before was amazing, especially Bedugul and Tanah Lot.

I had a trip to Bali for my university’s assignment. We went there to practice speaking with foreigner. Aside of the assignment, I enjoyed the trip; even though I got sick on the journey because of some matters. But I still enjoyed it.

We went to Sanur, Kuta, watching Barong, shopping in Krisna and Joger, going to Tanah Lot and Bedugul. I liked most of those, but I like Tanah Lot and Bedugul the most. Bedugul has fresh and clear air. It also has a beautiful lake covered by fog. Tanah Lot was also amazing. The wave touching my feet was wonderful. The view was also beautiful.

I hope I could go there again. And next time, I want to bring my family along.

Éclair merupakan salah satu novel mbak Prisca yang diterbitkan. Tapi, baru di tahun 2012 ini saya bisa membacanya. Thanks to Dheril who has lent me this novel. Karena kantong yg tak kunjung menebal, alhasil saya selalu gagal untuk membeli novel ini padahal daftar wish-list semakin panjang. T____T
