The Smarter You Are, The Harder to Find Love (Not Talking About Myself)

I miss the old flame that I used to have when I had this crush with any seniors at high school. Like any seniors. I had a lot of crushes. And it was so much simpler to love new person. When we were young. What about now? What about today? *the chorus of Westlife's song* As I get older, finding love is never easy. It is complicated. Too much drama. More intricate. So yeah, it is much simpler when we were young. We never have second thought about how hurt it was to experience a breakup. Or to hurt someone. While falling in love has became harder, letting go the old flame, past love has even been harder than that.  Like an old saying, we fall in love with people we can't have. Or we fall in love by chance and we stay in  love by choice. It is about our choice. The problem is we never use that choice to leave from a certain situation. We choose to stay and cry in the river.

Big Bad Wolf 2016

Wohoooo finally! The so-long waited. The biggest Book Fair ever held in Jakarta, I mean where they sell imported books.  Big Bad Wolf is the EO for this site, Book Xcess Online  I have been following them since last December. And now it is happening.  So I got a vip ticket for the day before the opening and that was on Friday. This ticket is limited edition. After holding a farewell party for Adel, that Friday night Hana and I went directly to ICE BSD where they hold the book fair. And it was almost empty. I enjoyed strolling, finding some books that have been on my list. I looked for any Haruki Murakami books, and found none. Feel sad about how limited their collection of fiction works :'(  But I managed to buy only 3 books since I have no cash left. They cannot accept any debit payment for BCA or other banks. The next day I went to the book fair again with my brother and had successfully spent almost 600 thousands Rupiahs for  12 books! That is too affordable!  S
