Life is too short, enjoy your pasta


I always have a feeling, life is too short.

It becomes a sentence to convince myself thousands of times when I want to give up. I didn't like climbing because I felt it is a tiring thing."Life is too short" support me to climbed an active volcano named Morapi in Yogyakarta for 9hs. I still remember the sky in 3am, the most beautiful sky I have ever seen. I've seen some meteors as well. Seeing thousands of stars shining in the sky and muslims pray in 3 am in fasting month. It convince me to jump into the sea from 5m hight and made my ass painful for a week. Well, I will stop talking about my funny story for this moment.

Few days ago, Danny and I watched some videos about when I was 12, I joint an English talent competition on the TV(I'm surprise I still can find the video), I had a mushroom haircut(believe me, it was HORRIBLE, I do no wanna back to school after that haircut). I still feel a bit uncomfortable to see my haircut, but life is too short, why not to have a mushroom haircut.

About food and dishes, I also like to try different things and try to make it. One late evening, I watched Eat Pray Love again in the mid-night. This movie was talking about a women named Elizabeth(Julia Roberts) was unhappy in her marriage. After finalising her difficult divorce, she spent the next year traveling the world. She spent four month in Italy, eating and enjoying life(Eat). She spent three months in India, finding her spirituality(Pray). Lastly she finished her year in Bali, Indonesia, looking for 'balance' of the two and fell in love with a Brazilian businessman(Love).

I watched Italy part in 12am, Julia Roberts started eating her pasta. The whole screen is her pasta with soft cheese on the top. In that moment, I decide to learn how to make a tasty pasta.


I found some potato in my kitchen. Also I have onion, cucumber and lamb left.
