End of The Year List

December 27, 2017 by Prisanti Leave a comment

The period between Christmas and New Year usually is the most ‘uncertain’ one. It’s like hanging between two close holidays. Unlike 2016 which felt really fast, 2017 is running really slow for me. Looking back, I did many things and also lost as much. Anyway, these are things that caught up my eyes lately.

To be honest, I have these things with ceramic. I’ve been collecting local ceramic products for these past years and really happy when I visited Dib(uang) Sayang at Kineruku earlier this year. I’ve been taking home products from Kar Jewelry, Tacit, and others. I also never missed any Clearance & Reject Sale from Tekuni. So, finding Lisa Junius’ works is an instant joy. I love the perfect indigo products and the dreamy vibe that comes from it. I fell in love with these vases and these are certainly my favorite of them all.

Ordinary Days and Small Common Things

December 26, 2017 by Prisanti Leave a comment

Having struggled with ulcers as a result of the high presence of gastric acid (baca: maag akut) these past days made me forgetting this fun challenge. This should be my last post of #7daysofblackandwhite, which I really enjoy because I get to see many lives in a different way. Though I hate not seeing colors or not getting a chance to write any caption, I agree that taking pictures in black and white made you a little bit melancholic at times (I actually wrote all captions on this blog and you can see all my posts for the past 7++ days here :P).

The Priority Confusion

December 23, 2017 by Prisanti Leave a comment

Di sebuah pembicaraan grup WhatsApp seputar KPR, salah satu teman saya bertanya apakah ada di antara kita yang menganut paham ‘millennials‘, yang tidak lagi menganggap penting tempat tinggal yang tetap sebagai sebuah kebutuhan. Di sebuah kuis tentang Which Millennials Are You? (yang mana saya lupa apa link-nya), saya ingat pernah mendapat hasil Conservative Millennials, yang katanya tipe millennials yang masih menganut nilai-nilai agama dan budaya. Sehingga, saya sendiri masih menganggap keberadaan ‘rumah’ maupun ‘tempat tinggal’ yang tetap sebagai suatu kebutuhan yang utama. Terlepas dari semua itu, menurut saya ini sungguh menarik.

The Everyday Lives

Saya sering membaca anggapan bahwa yang namanya kanal sosial media adalah tempatnya dokumentasi yang sudah terkurasi. Semua hal yang indah-indah saja. Lalu ada juga beberapa anggapan yang menyatakan bahwa di balik semua itu ada usaha dan cerita yang tidak diperlihatkan. Dan rentetan penjelasan klise yang menurut saya kita semua sudah paham runutannya. Menurut saya, fenomena ini menarik untuk ditilik.

The Glows

I see many lives every day. Swarming, glowing, fading.

These days, there are many problems in the world that we cannot untangle. There are many things that we cannot survive alone. I just wanted to say, life is precious. No matter how long, no matter how fast.

Life is still life.

When a life is gone, there will be an empty chair at the dining table, an empty room in the corner, a piece of heart that’s taken.

It is too cruel and unrespectful to degrade a value of life by occupation, race, religion, or even names. I think, there is no life that is more important than the other. It is our constant learning to always try to empathize with other people and not see things only in our limited view.

In our remaining time of life, let’s just try to toss kindness around and giving support to people who need one.

I hope you all have a nice day, lovers of all kinds.
