Trilogi Warna

-
Warna Tanah, Warna Air, then Warna Langit are three graphic novels' titles.
They are stories of a young Korean girl named Ehwa and her mother.
Upon how they embrace love, meet love, and then wait for their lovers.
The author, Kim Dong Hwa, tells his stories so poetically you can't help but feeling rather melancholic.

He uses various flowers as symbols. Hollyhock, tiger lilies, bunga labu, bunga lonceng putih, bunga kastanye...

Trilogi Warna makes waiting seems so romantic, using flowers as metaphor of love growing inside one's heart...

For falling in love is a wonderful feeling, even after heart breaks we don't give up.
The idea of love is beautiful, it warms your heart.
So we wait.

Longing
Waiting
Waiting for the right person
Waiting for the right person to make a move
Dreaming of the right person
Who sees you
Understands you
Loves you kindly,
Loves you unconditionally.

"Aku sedang mendengarkan hujan... Kedengarannya seperti langkah kaki, dan... terdengar seperti jerami yang sedang dijalin menjadi tali...Entah mengapa, untuk suatu alasan suara hujan hari ini begitu mengusik..."
— Kim Dong Hwa


"Kekasihku tiba, tapi bukan menyambutnya,
Aku hanya bisa menggigiti ujung celemekku dengan ekspresi hampa -
Betapa kikuknya diriku.

Hatiku merindukannya, sebesar dan senyalang bulan yang purnama
Namun aku malah menyipitkan mata, tatapanku
setajam dan setipis bulan sabit.

Namun bukan aku melulu yang bertingkah begini.
Ibuku dan ibu dari ibuku sama konyol dan canggungnya saat masih gadis...

Tapi cinta yang datang dari hatiku meluap-luap,
Seterang dan semerah besi panas dalam tungku pandai besi."
— Kim Dong Hwa

Hello! How's it going guys? Not all rainbows, reindeer, unicorns, and lollipops for me. But I'll survive. Today I'm going to do another post about manga. from Otoyomegatari - Kaoru Mori One of my all time favorite mangaka is Kaoru Mori. She's known for her manga Emma, Shirley, and most recently is Otoyomegatari or The Bride's Story. The last one, Otoyomegatari, is the most beautifully drawn manga I have ever seen. Oh-La-La!! The details are exquisite. It is sharp, charming, and realistic. Mori tells her story not only by words but most of the time through pictures. Loud ones. The other thing I love about her work is she often draws the smallest aspect of the characters' life but somehow relevant. Small aspects that you rarely see described by other mangakas. For example, the chapter about trousseau. Rather than describing everything with talking bubbles, Mori draws details and more details. Even the stitching process. Absolutely magnificent.

Cooking During Pandemic

-
 Due to the endless time spent at home, because of the corona virus, most people take up the hobby of cooking. I did too, for some time. But after I got pregnant, another impact of the pandemic I guess lol (BLESSING IN DISGUISE OK), I don't cook as much anymore. Because during the first weeks of my pregnancy I feel nauseous and vomit so much, I was very sensitive to smell and tastes.  I did made a youtube video of my cooking though. Who knows when I'll cook as much again in the future. Klik this link for the vid! https://youtu.be/dkY0KLennUM #didapuraja GEGARA CORONCES
