It’s aaaaalways exciting to review my year back, looking
backward to the up and down moment and mixed feelings. Two years before, I did
(literally) monthly year review (
2010 and
2011), this time….gonna do it in a
refreshingly different way. Inspired by my blogger fella, muthia syarifa yani,
who did it first with her top 10 everything in my 2012 life, I’m gonna do
mine…. “A (so-many-highlights) year in my life (2012)” dari yang paling penting
sampe yang paling gak penting.
Spending the new year (2012): bandung, with the babies. Sleeping,
instead of galauing the no-pacar condition.
Song that so-2012: someone like you-adele. Like fireworks-katy
perry at 2011
Best buddies:

Saddest moment: Seeing my mom cried, in front of my eyes,
because of her heartless and selfish daughter, me. (July 26th)
Most unlucky moment: riding motorcycles, 2 hours lost in
mountain, uphill road, didn’t wear jacket, jurang di kanan kiri, carrying my younger
sister with no helmet. Arrived at Joger bedugul and had no money, my ATM card
left. Went home and…. Flat tire on the way back. (August 20th)
Most ngenes thing: cemong. Facial laser to clean the cemong
up from my face. Spf 50 sunblock from Natasha skin doctor special only for weekend

On boyfriend’s birthday: struggling to get….ice cream then
culling-culling (ngecul) over the night. Rainbow cake hunting, gift hunting
(the hush puppies, baju koko, bolu). Ngobroling at strawberry café. Next day,
the battery ranger prepared the “ramuan” to “flush” him but the bloon udin give
him the ramuan back, iyuh….so there was midnight kejar-kejaran between coach
and the ranger even up to the FT (faculty of engineering). And (again) the
bloon udin left his motor demi gak dikejar sama budi sampe hampir jatoh, the
other did the escape dengan lari terluntang-lanting and maximizing the
speedometer a.k.a naik motor ngebut-ngebutan. (june 24th-26th)
