Novels

tadi siang pergi ke book fair di Istora Senayan. dan begitu sampe sana... saya langsung kalap. duit abis cuma buat borong novel-novel ini:


dan temen-temenku gak ada yang ngerti. hahahahaha. well, buku-buku yang kubeli mencerminkan duniaku. selain dari buku My Stupid Boss 4, 4 buku lainnya itu genrenya death, gore, sama vampire. ceritanya bagus dan gak pasaran pula. 

terus pacar komentar, "kamu psycho banget sih..."

if I were psycho, I'd be out there doing it, making my own psycho story in real life instead of trapped in my parallel universe, reading and writing it. 

lagipula, semua itu gak selalu berarti psycho. genre-genre ini ngajarin aku pelajaran hidup. contohnya, di balik kesempurnaan pasti ada kerapuhan. 

it just take some darkness and fierce beauty to see the awesomeness in it...
