Note for Self: an Unplanned Day Can be a Pleasant One

Fourteenth of February is commonly known as St. Valentine's Day. It is the day of love celebration, especially for couples. Well, you know that already, don't you? I'm not the kinda guy who plans a series of romantic event 3-4 months before d-day. I just go with the flow. You feel me, mo-fo?

On this year's val's day, I didn't plan any super duper specially romantic thingy with my boo. Shit, did I just use the term 'boo' as a substitute for girlfriend? Well, what the heck, there's always first time for everything. Okay, back to the f-ing subject. So, I didn't plan anything for this special day. I started my day at 12 pm. Yep, I'm not a morning guy. So, don't like that? You can click that red 'x' mark on the top right of the screen if you want to, a-hole! So I woke up and asked my self, "Hmm, what should I do on this lovely day full of love?" My mind speaks again on my behalf, "Well, a 'gurah' would be nice." It was my stupidest decision of the day, but not for long term engagement. It turned out that 'gurah' is very painful during and after the process. WHAT? You don't know what 'gurah' is? What are you? Some kind of a new breed of brain disintegration fucked up experiment lab rat? 'Gurah' is an alternative medication to get rid of slimy stuff from your respiratory organs. The 'gurah' man scoops some kind of icky liquid into your nose. Then you sit with head on your knees and wait for a long one shitty hour to let all the slime gets out from your body through your nose and mouth. While you wait, you'll feel a simultaneous brain freeze. After the process is done, you'll have a very bad headache. Headache is bad, imagine a very bad one. Yep, that's it. The aftereffect will last for at least 6-12 hours after the medication.

I went to the 'gurah' place using public transportation, alone. So there I was, after the medication, sat with a bad headache on a public transportation going back home. I laid my head on my bed as soon as I get home, it was 3 pm. I slept for about two hours. Then my lovely girlfriend, who suggests me to do 'gurah', I hated her for that, arrived and awake me from my zombie sleep. My best friend gave her a ride to my house. My mood was as bad as a bad mood can be. But, when I saw her smile, I remembered that it was Valentine’s Day. Love was in the air, but the 'gurah' pain still lingered. So, we talked, laughed, and helped my mom preparing party dishes for the opening of my mom's new distribution depot. After my mom left the house, we kissed and... . Hahaha. Enhance your imagination, my friend. So, you know, we did our stuff. Yuck, dude, not that kinda stuff. Wow, your mind need to be cleaned and cleansed. Then, we moved to my room and took a nap, a real nap. No, we didn't do that. Come on! I'm being honest here. Appreciate me a little, show some respect, FRIEND.

Then we woke up at 8 pm. Long story short, we went to Cilandak Town Square and bought a couple of beers and some snacks. Oh, my aunt and uncle accidentally met us and drive us there, lucky us. So, we sat on a small park at the parking lot. Again, we talked, laughed, and talked. It was not fun, it was blissful. It was a moment to remember. The green grass, the abstract shape of the trees, the dim lights of the lot, the black cloudy sky, the cool breeze of the wind, the chat, and us was perfect. We sat there for three hours. Oh, how I love her… Wait, you don’t envy me for that? What the funk? You should envy me! That is why I wrote this shit! Well, what the heck, I don’t give a rat’s ass.

So, when we thought things couldn’t be better, her father called and told us that he was at the same place and asked us to have a late dinner. Free rides, free dinner, envy me now? Then, after we filled our gas tanks, her dad offered us whether to have a cup of coffee or not. Well, what do you expect? Who can reject an offer like that, a cup of hot coffee in the rare coldness of Jakarta weather? So, chit chat pop dooby doob woop woop, 2.30 am. It’s time to go home. I said goodbye to Ninda. WHO’S NINDA??? She’s the girlfriend I’ve been talking about, you fool! Oh, I haven’t told you her name, huh? Hahaha. My bad. Well, her name is Ninda. So, I said goodbye with a little kiss on her forehead. I wanted to give more, but her father was standing five six feet from us. I didn’t want to give a bad image. Hahaha. That was my unplanned pleasant day.

Note for you:

live an unplanned day once in a while and enjoy anything comes at your doorstep on that day.
