Why time in Jogja ran so fast that taking five-day leave seemed very short for me? Once stepping down from the airplane, i took a deep breathe, relaxing my exhausted body after an-hour air journey.  

Then, what did i do? Having taken my luggage at home, shortly i went to Gudeg seller in Janturan. Ignoring the chilling wind, i cruised its amazing night. It remains same for me. Gudeg seller are scattered along the street. Jogja is still a beautiful city, especially in the night. I like the glimmering lights of Jogja, though in Jakarta i often see such thing. 

Spending almost six years in Jogja, it was very hard fot me once i had to leave this city. Hence last week, I took my time enjoying every corner of Jogja in five days. I visited interesting spots, i met my old friends, i spared my time with my mom and dad, and i spent my time with my close friend.

I should take a longer leave next year as i haven’t been even satisfied with my last time being in Jogja. Hhmmmm, i still have unvisited itineraries. Let me short them out….Siung beach, Melting Pot, Sate Karang (hhhmm food is my passion), and many more.

I schedule to visit Jogja on the third week of November and of course in last December, when i manage to spend new year eve with my family and my close friends. The later will be longer than the former and i convince will be more interesting as well. Surely, i can’t hardly wait……

I love Jogja….very much:)

WD: Waduh udah ngga bisa mba. Udah penuh semua.
T   : Oh ya udah. Pesenan saya ntar sore dicancel aja.
WD: Oke
Rabu 18 Oktober 2006
Rio to Thea: Thea ntar sore jadi?
Thea to Rio: Jadi Yo. Di Plangi ya.
Rabu 18 Oktober (17.45-till drop)
Akhirnya semua berkumpul. Aku, Rio, Abi, Kala ma Yuan. Minus Liza yang katanya bakal nyusul. Seperti biasa, Plangi selalu penuh di jam-jam segitu. Karena ga dapet tempat duduk, setelah menghabiskan air mineral dan teh kemasan, kita mutusin untuk magriban dulu. Berjejal dengan puluhan orang yang juga pengen salat di mushola yang kecil, kita akhirnya berhasil menunaikan shalat dengan selamat? Kenapa selamat? Saking kecilnya tuh mushola, dan banyaknya orang yang mau sholat, kondisinya mungkin bisa disamain kayak sholat di masjidil haram yang penuh dengan orang. Udah syukur ga keinjek apa kesikut.
Habis itu kita mengitari lantai 3A Plangi buat cari resto yang cozzy. It’s not about food but also bout the place. Resto yang cozy memungkinkan kita mingle dengan enak. Pilihan jatuh ke sebuah restoran Thailand yang chic. Sayangnya tempatnya masi penuh sehingga kami mesti nunggu sekitar 10 menitan. Sambil menunggu tempat, kami pun ngobrol. Topiknya beragam, tapi yang paling seru pas ngomongin gaji ma THR…hehehe.
Ga kerasa tempat buat kami dah available. Kami pun masuk dan mulai memesan menu. Merasa asing dengan menunya, tanpa ragu kami memanggil waitress untuk menjelaskan apa saja yang ada di menu itu( sori ya mas). Lha daripada pesen tapi ga taunya makanannya aneh. Kan rugiiiiii….
Setelah selesai memesan, kami lanjutkan acara ngobrolnya. abi mengeluarkan HP barunya yang 3G enabled. Kerennn. Yang lain cuma bisa bedoa semoga bulan depan perusahaan bisa ngasih HP kayak yang Abi punya. Amiennnnn
Tak lama, pesanan pun datang. Pesenanku Stirred seafood and tofu with rice terlihat enak. Ternyata emang bener. Rasanya enak. Sambil makan kita terus ngobrol sampe si Liza datang menyusul.  Lalu dimulai lah photo session pake HP barunya Abi.
Udah lama banget kami ga ngumpul kayak kemaren. Three months ago seemed so long that we almost forgot to go home as it was near to nine o’clock. Time to get to home. Menyenangkan sekali bisa meluangkan waktu kayak gini. In between the hectic office activities, to have and enjoy such moment is precious.  Kapan ya bisa ngumpul bareng lagi? Mungkin di penghujung tahun 2006. Seperti kata Abi, “Bagaimana kalo kita ke Sukabumi?”. Hhmm terbayang Salabintana trus rafting di Citarik. Ayo!!!! Siapa takut!!!!

Tergerak untuk nulis review ini pas baca sebuah majalah wanita yang memilih album ini sebagai choice of the week. Personally speaking, i totally agree with that magazine’s choice. Album Jazz in the City merupakan kompilasi dua puluh lagu-lagu bernuansa jazzy yang pernah ngetop di Indonesia. Lagu-lagu yang ada di album ini pernah populer di tahun 80 an sampai lagu-lagu yang populer di tahun 2000 seperti Feeling Good nya Michael Buble ato High and Dry nya Jamie Cullum. Buat aku, lagu-lagu di album ini paling enak dinikmati sambil tiduran dan baca buku…hhmmm such heaven:). Aku suka semua lagu-lagunya tapi favoritku adalah A Love That Will Last nya Renee Olstead (ring back tone ku)dan Besame Mucho yang dinyanyikan oleh Rosa Passos(aku suka lagu ini sejak kecil karena mama sering banget nanyi lagu ini). Oh ya..suara indahnya Basia juga bisa kamu nikmati di lagu Water of March lho!!!

What I thought wasn’t mine
In the light
Was one of a kind,
A precious pearl
When I wanted to cry
I couldn’t cause
I Wasn’t allowed

Gomennasai for everything
Gomennasai, I know I let you down
Gomennasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought wasn’t all
So innocent
Was a delicate doll
Of porcelain
When I wanted to call you
And ask you for help I stopped myself
Gomennasai for everything
Gomennasai, I know I let you down
Gomennasai till the end
I never needed a friend
Like I do now
What I thought was a dream
A mirage
Was as real as it seemed
A privilege
When I wanted to tell you
I made a mistake
I walked away
Gomennasai, for everything
Gomennasai, Gomennasai,
I never needed a friend,Like I do now
Gomennasai, I let you down
Gomennasai, Gomennasai, Gomennasai,
Gomennasai till the endI never needed a friend
Like I do now
