Kami hanya sekumpulan. Bertujuh dan delapan.

Kami hanya makhluk warna-warni, diserang tak berdaya. Dengan senyum di wajah.

Matahari, awan, matahari lagi, lama. Peluh dan keringat, juga erangan keluhan, yang datang bertubi-tubi. Tanpa ampun, hanya ada, sekumpulan yang menemani.

Kemudian, kami berkeliling. Berdiri dalam lingkaran, menyanyi dalam irama, berlari dan berlomba. Dengan rempah di kepala.

Beri kami semangat, dan harapan. Beri kami alasan. Apakah kumpulan tidak cukup? Mungkin kumpulan hanyalah bagian kecil, hanyalah cuilan tanah.

Di sana! Kumpulan lain, persis seperti kami. Terlunta bahagia, tapi tampak kecil seperti kami. Oh, sudahkah kita berkenalan?

Kalau sudah, mari bekerja sama. Dan kita hias langit dengan warna-warni kita.

Ketika ruang adalah dinding dengan kalimat singkat, ucapan selamat ulang tahun dan raut wajah buatan. Waktu adalah urutan kata terjalin rapi, ataupun tidak. Tidak ada alinea. Hanya dibatasi oleh huruf, angka, mungkin simbol.

Bawa kami ke padang rumput, tanpa alas kaki, tanpa teknologi. Hanya angin dingin, rintik hujan, dan canda tawa. Lari, lari, dan berguling. Kami hanyalah para pengejar tawa, pencari teman, penggelar kebahagiaan.

Ayo berkumpul, menjadi satu, bertemu muka. Tanpa layar dan papan ketik. Bersentuhan tanpa komentar singkat. Tanpa pembatasan karakter, yang hanya dihitung seratus empat puluh.

Ayo, kita berkenalan.

I’ve just read Angga’s post the other day and suddenly, I just pop a thought. Do you have someone you secretly adore? Someone you don’t know, someone far off from your daily life. But you’ve just cross them on his/her blog, website, or in some social network? Oh well, I do.

The name is Diana Rikasari.

You probably know her and said, “Ooh, I know her!” Yeah, Diana Rikasari is one of the top fashion blogger in Indonesia. Many teen monthly magazines featured her blog—Hot Chocolate & Mint, which is by the way, is the second most popular blog in Indonesia (courtesy of Stratego.com). Many clothing shop send her package of free stuffs just to be featured on her blog. The latest for this unstoppable fashion beauty is, Bloop Endorse releases a new line called Diana Rikasari for Bloop Endorse. It is probably because her fashion blog had influenced many fashionista in Indonesia.

But, the thing I really (secretly) adore about her, is not about fashion. You know that I’m not a fashion geek, I’m just a girl with everyday T-shirt and blue jeans. Here, let me tell you a story. In my first semester during TPB year in college. I happen to go online a lot, fortunately ITB has an amazingly fast connection that allows me to meet heaven. I don’t go blog, nor sign up to social network. I go surf a lot, I research things a lot. Then, I happen to cross line with an amazingly gifted artist that named herDeviantArt page, poop-art. I just fall in love with her works, especially this one called The Great Escape and the one called Being Alice. I saved every works that she made (yeah, it’s creepy -__-‘). What makes me fall in love is, the tone of color she used in her works and the imagination inside of it. I thought, “It is amazingly adorable and beautiful!”

Years later, (oh you know how this story is going to end) I just happen to know Diana Rikasari’s fashion blog. And hell yeah, she happens to be the legendary artist I admired a lot, back there! Isn’t it just a small world afterall? Now, without realizing it or not, I happen to open her blog a lot, and also her DeviantArt page.

Tell me, do you also have one? :P
