Things Around..

This is by me for me. I am trying to know my self. I’ll write about things around my life– instead of books, reading, traveling, movies, swimming, yoga, blogging, etc, etc. I will write about five things and perhaps someday (if I get the click!) I will write about other things. Anyway, you’re welcome to read and comment as this is not really private for me. Or leave it whenever you get boring. Ready? Grab a chair — are you standing now? Gosh! strange question! Get Set Go!

I thought about my turtle. Hejo, I used to put it in balcony every night – when I came home) and a whole day during Sunday while I am at home. Now I keep it inside the house, after its kidnapping last December. I feed it twice a day, am, pm. Sometimes, it has to vast at least two meal’s round while I decide to stay overnight outside unplanned, sure it happened twice. I am cruel? Yes but I already anticipate with extra meal before I left.

Saturday — I can take extra hours sleeping, while I wake up. I open the door and I saw Hejo turn its body around and so it can see me. The funny thing is it does that way as if it wants to be seen by me. I get it. Hejo is hungry. Hejo, you know what? I always think;- do you satisfy with your food? Someday if I am not too busy I’d like to give you little fish and that would be your bonus.

A: When did I fall in love?
B: If the lady says about love it must be a long time ago.
C: Gosh, you did?
D: Oh you ever have been in love.
E:
B: Forgot the past, don’t let it ruin you
A: I am happy now. Don’t worry about it.
C: Let’s get lunch.
D: Café bla bla bla has good food and good place. Why don’t we go there?
B: You should find another one soon.
E: Yeah I hear the food is delicious.
B: Did you see new movie lately? Could we watch a movie after that?
A: Ok let’s go.

A is me, others are my best friends–a lady and three men. Love is forgotten subject but in silent–I knew they’re thinking about me. Half of that conversation is fiction, but that’s our communication model.

I bought you last year.
Eight months, eleven days, two hours about that time.
Now you’re standing in that rack. Silent and quiet. Plastic– still wrapped your body.
How many times I planned to paint your body.
How many times I grab you and I touch you.
How many time I put you back at where you’re standing now.
You’re still patient.
Wait.
Wait.
Wait for my right click.
You’ll be painted by that time.

….it’s about canvas.

I dream about a cozy room for my own. Book shelves cover its wall from floor to ceiling. I didn’t decide yet whether it’s white shelves with white themes and one red couch or one seater white couch adjacent to the standing reading light or black shelves and one broken white couch with an ethnic pillow with red themes that I make by my self. Of course I will choose wooden floor and I will put plant in one of its corner. Once a week I will change the plant.

The window, I’d like such as French window –without too much detail. It’s wide and tall, from floor to top. It’s releasing sun light and much fresh air so I don’t need aircon. The door should be a solid wood. But I will let it open so everyone could come and join me reading a book anytime. Sorry I only have one couch, but we can lie down on floor or sit there. Don’t worry, it won’t too cold. There will be many magazines on floor from construction to green topic, but perhaps you’ll get disappointed because I don’t have fashion topic. I’ve decided to forget that topic a long time ago– I used to like it.

Of course you will find books there, hundreds or perhaps thousands about religion, management, history, art, arch, engineering, and others subject that I love. Though, may be I give those all to my future children or to non profit org when I die. I need a corner to put my map collections and a small globe will show you where the maps corner is. It is near my painting kits near the pot plant. As you will see some unframed paintings there with a thin layer of dust perhaps.

Ah dreaming and wishing. A foul only dreams. Fortunately it’s still free. Jeff Bezos taught us how to dream, and who knows someday my dream become reality.

My heart is blanket with a warm happiness. I saw my tiny garden has many colors. The Mini Chinese Orange (Citrus…) changed into yellow—I love the fragrance of its flower! Euphorbia Milii are blossoming– peach, almost white (because it near green actually), and baby pink, at other side I saw big beautiful red flower (I still didn’t know the name is), Cocor Bebek /Kalanchoe Pinnata shows its flower, little tiny red, lettuces – Lactuca Sativa (my new project), avocadoes– Persea Americana are growing.

I such have a warm relation with them; I like to touch every single of leaves, feel their structures and textures. I read some people talk to their plant as if they talk to human. I never do that but I feel they know if I love them. I have a little secret. I let the caterpillars and others organism live there. I don’t want to disturb the nature and I keep the small ecosystem in my tiny garden balance. The citrus is favorite place for the butterflies. If you ever saw my first posting in this blog;-that was a picture of one of twin butterflies that just delivered out from its cocoon. It adapted and stayed still on a leave for a while. I was very happy at that moment and wondering what it thinks about the new world.

Dreaming, for the people like me, I dream to have a small warm house with a wide garden. I’d like to nurture exotic plants especially the extinct species. Why? It will feed my soul. For now, I am happy with all that I have. I choose “easy-home plantation” considering I am a nomad. By the way, I always bring my plants moving every time I did, so they are nomadic actually.
