City of Blinding Light

I've decided to move out from Jakarta for some reasons and trying to build my nest back in Yogyakarta, the city where I grew up as a teenager. Despite all the shocks--people who know me best will definitely understood "the why factor"-- I'm trying my best to ensure and motivate my own self that I'll be just fine =) After couple days in Yogya, I went back to Jakarta yesterday to finish the "unfinished" stuff I left here. Being a visitor in Jakarta is somewhat nicer than being a tenant in this cramped city.

I drove along the city with different perspectives. At some point the city looks sweeter with its flickering lights. I don't know it was probably I took my time to "really" observe and enjoy the city without the hush and harsh. As far as I remember I had never have a time to really enjoy the city... I didn't have a time in fact to even think about Jakarta besides its crazy unbelievable traffic and pollution in which gave me a headache. Shockingly and eventually the city is at ease...

I smiled last night with Adele's song "Chasing Pavement" on the other side of my sense, I'm happy to finally make a peace with this city. I'm still waiting one thing ...only one thing to be accomplished in this city before I pack my bags and fly to Yogyakarta... One thing which I believe will giving me a peace. The city is the one and only city that successfully flipped the other side of me--the fun, the wild,the crazy,the evil,the lust,the ego...and indeed the love and the friendship. It makes me understood how good and how bad I could become as a person... none of other cities have ever done this before. Jakarta oh Jakarta! lol

Now, I want to relax and chill, take off all my "self-protection" and "superwoman" costume--which helped me to protect my self to be able to survive here previously--and just being me... naked and no mask in this city of blinding light =)

Thanks Jakarta!
