So this is my first card in this month. Ugh, haven't receive lots of postcards like few months before. There is because I've been so busy with school and some stuff.  I don't have much time for writing postcards, I'm sorry if I was being absence. 

This one came from Honza, from Czech Republic. 

it's such a surprise because I thought he would send me a postcard about his country, but he didn't. 

Hi Honza, if you read this, thank you so much for the postcard. It's nice to get a postcard from a cold land named Norway :) I wish I could travel there someday.

Birthday Card from My Lesbian

On a sunny Sunday morning (24/3), Martha and I was working on Kineforum. I was as infodesk and she was working on Indonesian Movie Poster exhibition. I came to her just for looking around the exhibition area, because I was so bored on the infodesk. 

and in the exhibition, I found a bunch of art postcards. Its limited postcards which had made by Gambar Selaw community. 

Whilst I was looking for the postcard, Martha came to me. Then said, "Alfi, pick one as you like, its as your birthday present."

"Oh really??" asked me so happy.

She was nodding.

and I said, "No, please pick one up for me, choose one that you like."

and after saying that, I went back to my desk.  *endconversation*

and today (4/4), I met Martha in the corridor at my campus. 

"Alfi, wait! I have something for you. I have choose the postcard that I like."

'

Dear Martha, my beloved lesbian, 

thank you so much for remembering my birthday. :)

"Why??" I asked her with a confused face. 

"Umm, yesterday I went to a bookstore, and I saw a bunch of postcards, and suddenly it reminded me of you. So, I just bought it for you." answered Lira with big smile :)

wow, I was surprised, I mean, my birthday is still few weeks later, but she had already give me a present. You might think its simple thing. But not for me, it means more than simple. Its kind of the real friendship is. before this, Lira have sent me a Christmas card, here.  

Lira, thank you so much for remembering me, thanks for being there, for share things that we had in IKSI.

Chirstmas Light from Bayu

It was sunny Saturday morning, and I received a green wrapped package.  Without reading the sender address, I've already know who sent me this present. 

Here is the message: 

His name is Bayu. A friend of mine. Few couples weeks ago, we decided to do a present exchange for celebrating Christmas. This is my first time to do this with a friend. (well, I had done this in elementary school, but it doesn't count :P )

I thought this is great idea. You do a postcard exchange, why not if I try a Christmas present exchange.  

I know it seemed very late to received a Christmas present, but who cares? Still, it is so exciting! 

Bayu had made this present before Christmas. Don't you, Bay?

Before I received his present, I've already sent him a present. I bought them while in Kuala Lumpur. Actually, I was confused what should I give to him as a present. As long as I remember I never give a present to guys. (Well, I have, but mostly chocolates) And for Bayu, I also did the same. I gave him a pair of Malaysian chocolates. Ugh, I was not creative. Sorry if you are disappointed, Bay :(

Bayu, if I may compare your present to my present, is not comparable. You made me something, but I didn't, I only bought it. I felt embarrassed. 

First, you made me a postcard, really nice postcard. 

Second, you made me this. 

yes, a t-shirt. 

a limited Coldplay t-shirt edition. How cool that was?

come on, admit it, if its good, is it?

Well, don't get envy with me :)

As soon as I received this present, and because I have an interview that morning, so I grabbed this t-shirt, and put on my body. I wish this t-shirt will be my lucky t-shirt, that's why I wore this to a interview, to wish getting a fortune of it. 

Today, I wrote this post in Sunday morning, I wore this t-shirt with shorts to sleep, and it felt so comfortable. 

Dear Bayu, if you read this. I just want to say a big thank you for your efforts. I really appreciate and very like your works. Its amaze me. Really. :)

sincerely, 

warm regards from Sunday morning, 

Alfi Yusrina
