"Livin' in a Dream"

What's the meaning of "livin' in a dream"?

Does it mean you dreaming about something and it happened and you living it? Or are you living a life that isn't real?

For me, I prefer taking the second answer. Living in a dream means that you live in a dream. To put it in other words, your life isn't real. You're life is sadly only a fantasy. You know, like that one song from Queen. 

"is it a real life? is it just fantasy? caught in a landslide. no escape from reality" 

(And the next verse is got more interesting)

"open your eyes, look up to the sky and see"


Living in a dream means that something you expect is happening, but it will soon gone. It's not gonna be here forever, and you're not gonna be there forever.

I don't believe that "living in a dream" phrase. I mean, for someone like me, all the things that I've dreamed of never come alive. I don't know either my dream is too high I can't reach, or is it me who doesn't have the ability to reach it.

I've read some sayings that said "don't lower your dream, but make yourself high enough to catch it". Hmm... no. Sorry, but I'm not that kind of person. I'm the person, who lowering my dream just so I can reach it.

Some people said "never stop dreaming" "don't give up on your dream" and else. Do their dreams really do come true? I'm curious. 

Don't get me wrong, but I also have dreams. I made it all up in my head. Keep wishing and praying and work as hard as I could, to make them come true. I made a list of it to be honest. But none of them ticked (yet). For now, to me, a dream is just a dream. Until I have one of the list ticked.

And I'm still on the question "When do I get to taste that 'living in a dream' thing?"

For now, I'll just have to be grateful for what I have in life. For what God has given me.
I believe there are so many people like me, making a dream, chasing it, trying to live it. I believe I'm not alone :)

Long Weekend(-ing) in Surabaya

Okay, so. This is the first post from this page. I just want to tell you that this is the first time I write about TRAVELING. Don't expect too much from me (who has been on a hiatus for a very long time. lol) . So, hello from me! Let's the journey begin!! It started last week (5th May 2016 for  Ascension Day  and 6th May 2016 for  Ascension of the Prophet  Mohammad)  was a very long weekend here. For all the employees they have 4 days off, from Thursday to Sunday. I think that's the longest weekend 2016 ever have haha. Since I'm not an employee, nor a student, I have all day as a weekend HAHA. But, to be honest, I never know how does it feel to have a long weekend holiday. So I decided to make a trip for this long weekend. For your information, I'm living in Malang , a small city in the east part of Java island. But I'm "originally" from Jakarta (a big metropolitan city where I was born and lived until I went to college here) . 5 years al...

My Life Journal

I have no idea what this is, but my friend once told me that  “Writing journal can help one person to feel better after pouring down their feelings and stories.”  So here I am, trying to make one. I’m trying to make a journal, my life journal. I kinda doubt it actually, because there’s nothing interesting that’s going on in my life. It’s just me, my room and loneliness. I don’t really do much thing in a day. I don’t do anything at all, sometimes. I just lay in my bed, watching Youtube, scrolling down my Instagram feeds, thinking about life, thinking when will I graduate. Thinking about missing some people in my life, friends, family, best friends, boyfriend. My life is kinda boring. But I never get bored of it. I enjoy my life the way it is. I enjoy how I spent the day laying on the bed until its dark outside, I love watching some creative Youtube videos that inspire me (but still don’t motivate me). I like being inspired by the pictures on Instagram that people pos...
