I saw a cute guy was playing a bass guitar with his left-hand at church last Sunday. I was melting of him, of his smile, of his laugh, of how he played his guitar and how he made jokes with his friends. I was thinking that his face is so familiar, it's like someone who I adore, oh yeah, his face is like my favourite singer. I mean, it's totally! 99% like my favourite singer, but I remember that my favourite singer is a right-handed and the 'cute' guy is left-handed, so they're a different guy. I sat in a chair right infront of he played his bass. He wore a blue-white plaid pattern. He is so stupid, I mean he's like my first Prince Charming. What he did are so stupid things and always made me laugh and smile. But I wouldn't show it!
I was really into him, into his face, into his smile, into what he always did. "Samantha!", shouted my big brother. I glanced to the source of the voice. "Nothing!", teased my brother. I was grumble and turned around to the 'cute' guy, but I couldn't see him anymore. "Where is he?", I asked myself. "It's all because you, my brother!". "Are you searching for me?", someone talked to me and when I saw, it's him. Yeah him! The 'cute' guy. I was frozen. He smiled to me. I was more frozen, I need some fire to thaw me.
"Hi. Don't be like that! Come on! I'm Timo and you?", he introduced himselves to me and let me sit beside him. I was more and more frozen. I needed my big brother now, where is he? My face was so pale, I needed some oxygen. I know I was excessive, but it was true, you can feel it by yourself. "Oh! Hi! I'm Samantha!", I said after a few minutes to let the fire thaw me slowly. He smiled again and again. We talked much. We loved Physics and music. He sang a song for me with his guitar. Okay! He's so cute! When I wanted to walk away from him, wanted to grab some water, I was falling and ...
"Auucchhh!", shouted me, 'cause my little sister tread my foot because I was blank. I was realize that the 'cute' guy came and introduced to me were just my imagination, huh? I was limp.
"Timo!", shouted the keyboardist and the 'cute' guy that I adored, answer the keyboardist. So, it was true! His name is Timo! And he really smiled to me :) I smiled him back.

First Prince Charming
I don't believe with the word of luck. I don't believe with the novel story that everyone is so easy to get their "Prince Charming" just for the first sight. Actually, I really don't believe with "First Love at First Sight", I don't know why..
Kenapa di novel maupun film-film, sang penulis dengan gampang sekali menulis cerita yang seorang cewek dan seorang cowok dapat saling jatuh cinta hanya pada pandangan pertama?
I really don't believe it! Okay! I mean, it doesn't work in my life. Every guy that I see, they are just "cool" -__- Talk about my first love, I didn't love him [I mean my first Prince Charming, for me] at the first sight. We introduced ourselves, we were being friend -- bestfriend and knew each other that we loved each other. Not like in the novels or movies. The first thing that I remember is the feeling of 'falling in love'. Ya know, it's like we can't sleep every night, there's just him on my mind, we can't forget him, what he does and what he talks. Four years I loved him for who he is.
My bestfriend and I loved the same guy, yeah, it's him, but we never fight -- we didn't know why. My heart didn't hurt at that time. I tried to always love him as like his promise that he'll love me forever and always! I never loved the other guy. But... "Who's the guy and who's the girl?", I asked myself. "Why am I always text him first, why it's like I need him so much?". I was confused. I tried not to text him and slowly my love for him was dull. I hope everything was gonna be okay! I hope...
He loved the other girl as the answer of my heart questions. He lied to me. He said that he wanted to love me forever and ever! But now? He lied to me for six months. Six months, I still loved him. I tore all of the letters from him. I deleted all of his messages and his number in my handphone. I threw all of the stuff from him into a shoes box and I think my dad was throwing it, really throwing it! Goodbye!
"He always in my heart forever! I said "Never Ever Be Replace" and I promised it! I'll never break the promise!" -- My Quotes :]
He said that he'll love me always and forever. He said that he will follow me wherever I go. But now, just "Yeah, I loved her" -- yeah, that sentence made my heart was so broken, made my day was so dark and made me was so ill and feel didn't have any hopes anymore. Because, he was my medicine for my heart, he was my sunshine in my day of his laugh and all of his stupid things that he always did. How he played his guitar and drum were my smile and it was the first thing that made me melting. He was always be there for me, whenever I needed him. First time, I got super headache, I couldn't sit and I just wanted to cry, and I just could search his name on my phonebook and text him that I needed him, and he supported me.
I cried at the time he admitted. I locked my door and cried alone in my bedroom. No one knew, except me, God, my heart and him. "Don't cry!" I still remember, what he told to me by texting. "Hey! Cry or not, it can't return the situation as before, right?, I said to him. Simply he just said "Yes". Oh, I hate when he just said as simple as like that!! Yeah, the last time he texted to me, he said "What's about your birthday party?", but I couldn't reply his message, 'cause my handphone was low battery. I replied it the next day, but he didn't reply me messages anymore until now. He gave a last "Happy Bday" greeting to me when I was 13 years old.
But, now I told myself that I just want to focus on my school and my future. Let God set who's my Prince Charming for me in the future ;] I miss him. I miss when we were texting, I miss when he smiled to me, I miss when he tried to talk with me, I miss when he always wanted to help me but he was so shy. We never talked each other in four years, pathetic!

Jika sesuatu itu bisa seaneh cinta
Berlari ke mana pun
Akan buntu oleh untaian angin
Jika kehidupan itu adalah jalan tanpa ujung
Akankah ada cabang yang berbeda
Untukku dan untuknya?
Jika harapan tak lagi ada
Masihkan boleh mengharapkan keajaiban?
Berpaling untuk menemukan serbuk peri
Atau semanggi berdaun empat
Jika waktu hanyalah detik yang berputar
Ingin kukacaukan mesinnya agar diam
Memutar jarumnya pada sebuah masa lalu
Jika perpisahan selalu akhir dari pertemuan
Apalah arti sulaman panah cupid?
Jika kemarin menjadi terlalu sempit
Haruskah aku mengejarnya?
-- Puisi Chiara di novel "Separuh Bintang" karya Evline Kartika

Tips Menulis dari Luna Torashyngu & Primadonna Angela
Kamu punya bakat nulis? Pengin jadi penulis novel tapi nggak tau darimana mulainya? Gimana cara ngirim naskah kita ke penerbit dan supaya naskah kita bisa diterima untuk diterbitkan jadi sebuah novel? Tip-tips dibawah ini mungkin bisa membantu. Tips-tips ini ditulis berdasarkan pertanyaan yang sering ditanyakan pada luna lewat email, Friendster, atau YM.
Gimana sih cara ngirimin naskah ke penerbit sampe bisa diterbitin? Dan syarat-syaratnya apa aja?
Gampang kok. Yang pertama kamu tentu aja harus bikin naskah novel dulu hee..hee..hee... setelah itu diprint dan dijilid. Lalu kirim ke penerbit yang kamu mau. Biasanya setiap penerbit mencantumkan alamatnya di buku terbitannya. Jangan lupa tulis juga alamat lengkap dan nomer telpon kamu, jadi kalo misalnya naskah kamu diterima, bisa cepet dihubungi. Lalu tinggal tunggu kabar dari penerbit.
Berapa lama kita menunggu kabar naskah kita?
Rata-rata penerbit memberi jangka waktu 3 bulan untuk menyeleksi naskah. Bisa lebih cepat, bisa juga lebih lama, tergantung kesibukan mereka dan banyaknya naskah yang masuk. Jadi sabar aja yaaa...
Apa ada format tertentu dalam membuat naskah novel? Kira-kira berapa batas minimal dan maksimal naskah kita?
Sebetulnya nggak ada format baku dalam membuat sebuah novel. Umumnya penerbit emang mensyaratkan naskah diketik 1,5 spasi diatas kertas A4. Tapi itu juga nggak begitu kaku. Kalo nggak ada kertas A4, bisa pake ukuran lainnya (folio atau quarto, asal jangan pake A3 yaaaa... kegedean). Hurufnya juga nggak usah macam-macam. Cukup huruf standar aja (Times New Roman, 12 pts). Soal banyak halaman, yang penting jangan terlalu tebal (apalagi untuk penulis baru) tapi juga jangan terlalu tipis, hingga nggak bisa jadi buku. Mungkin sekitar 80 - 150 halaman dengan ketikan 1,5 spasi A4.
Lalu bagaimana dengan ilustrasi cover? Apa kita harus bikin sendiri?
Tentu aja nggak. Nggak semua orang punya bakat menggambar/melukis. Setelah buku kita dipastikan akan diterbitkan, biasanya pihak penerbit akan menunjuk salah seorang ilustrator mereka untuk membuat ilustrasi cover novel kita. Kita boleh aja ngasih masukan, atau ide, mo bagaimana cover itu nantinya. Beberapa penerbit seperti GPU akan menunjukkan draft cover yang udah mereka bikin pada penulisnya untuk mendapat persetujuan sebelum dicetak. Tapi kalau kita punya bakat gambar, bisa aja kita bikin cover sendiri. Hal itu bisa dirundingkan dengan pihak penerbit.
Saya ingin memakai nama samaran untuk buku saya. Apakah saat mengirim naskah ke penerbit saya harus tetap memakai nama asli saya, atau langsung pake nama samaran?
Saat mengirim naskah, tentu aja harus pake nama asli. Soal mo pake nama samaran / nama pena di buku kita kalo diterbitin, bisa dibicarakan nanti dengan pihak penerbit. Saat penandatanganan kontrak juga kita harus pake nama asli kita, agar suatu saat nggak timbul masalah. Dan lagi, pihak penerbit berhak tau data-data diri kita yang sebenarnya dong, walau mungkin hanya untuk arsip mereka dan nggak akan mempublikasikannya tanpa izin kita. Jadi nggak masalah kita mo pake nama samaran kayak apa, awal ngirim naskah harus menyertakan data-data asli kita, termasuk juga nama asli.
Boleh nggak kita kirim naskah dalam bentuk disket/CD atau email? Kan lebih praktis...
Walau ada beberapa penerbit yang memperbolehkan mengirim naskah dalam bentuk file, tapi umumnya penerbit (terutama penerbit besar) menginginkan naskah dikirim dalam bentuk print-out. Setelah naskah kita udah pasti diterima, baru mereka minta filenya. Dan sebaiknya memang yang pertama kali kita kirim print-outnya, dengan berbagai alasan. Pertama mungkin dari segi kepraktisan bagi penerbit. Naskah yang diprint lebih mudah dibaca dimana aja, nggak harus di depan komputer. Jarang ada orang yang mau berlama-lama di depan komputer hanya untuk membaca naskah, apalagi kalo naskah yang masuk banyak. Hal itu juga akan membuat naskah kita cepet dibaca dan diambil keputusan diterima/nggak. Yang kedua adalah demi keamanan. Walau biasanya penerbit menjamin kalo naskah yang masuk nggak bakal di plagiat/dibajak, baik oleh mereka atau pihak lain, tapi siapa yang bisa menjamin 100%? Walaupun hasil print-out juga bisa dibajak, tapi nggak segampang naskah dalam bentuk file yang bisa dicopy dan diedit dengan cepat.
Apa kita boleh mengirim satu tema cerita ke berbagai penerbit sekaligus?
Kalo menurutku sih boleh aja. Silahkan mengirim satu judul cerita ke berbagai penerbit sekaligus. Tapi kalo misalnya nanti cerita kita diterima oleh lebih dari satu penerbit, kita harus memilih hanya satu penerbit saja.
Tips membuat novel yang bagus?
Tips membuat novel yang bagus? Nggak ada. Kalo kamu pengin nulis, tulis aja. Jangan pikirin teori menulis, format tulisan, atau bagus atau nggak tulisan kamu. Pokoknya tulis aja apa yang ada di pikiran kamu. Setelah itu kan bisa dibaca dan diedit lagi. Dan setelah itu jangan ragu-ragu nunjukin tulisan kamu ke orang lain. Ke keluarga atau temen kamu. Buat apa nulis kalo cuman disimpen aja. Minta pendapat mereka, dan jadikan itu sebagai bahan revisi sebelum kamu kirim naskah kamu ke penerbit. Dan kalo naskah kamu ditolak, jangan putus asa. Kamu bisa revisi naskah kamu, liat apa kekurangannya (biasanya penerbit ngasih alasan kenapa naskah kamu ditolak), lalu kirim lagi ke penerbit lain atau ke penerbit yang sama juga boleh. Atau kamu bisa bikin cerita lain yang lebih baik. Pokoknya jangan cepat menyerah dan pede aja...

Walaupun hasil print-out juga bisa dibajak, tapi nggak segampang naskah dalam bentuk file yang bisa dicopy dan diedit dengan cepat.
Apa kita boleh mengirim satu tema cerita ke berbagai penerbit sekaligus?
Kalo menurutku sih boleh aja. Silahkan mengirim satu judul cerita ke berbagai penerbit sekaligus. Tapi kalo misalnya nanti cerita kita diterima oleh lebih dari satu penerbit, kita harus memilih hanya satu penerbit saja.
Tips membuat novel yang bagus?
Tips membuat novel yang bagus? Nggak ada. Kalo kamu pengin nulis, tulis aja. Jangan pikirin teori menulis, format tulisan, atau bagus atau nggak tulisan kamu. Pokoknya tulis aja apa yang ada di pikiran kamu. Setelah itu kan bisa dibaca dan diedit lagi. Dan setelah itu jangan ragu-ragu nunjukin tulisan kamu ke orang lain. Ke keluarga atau temen kamu. Buat apa nulis kalo cuman disimpen aja. Minta pendapat mereka, dan jadikan itu sebagai bahan revisi sebelum kamu kirim naskah kamu ke penerbit. Dan kalo naskah kamu ditolak, jangan putus asa. Kamu bisa revisi naskah kamu, liat apa kekurangannya (biasanya penerbit ngasih alasan kenapa naskah kamu ditolak), lalu kirim lagi ke penerbit lain atau ke penerbit yang sama juga boleh. Atau kamu bisa bikin cerita lain yang lebih baik. Pokoknya jangan cepat menyerah dan pede aja...

Lovasket 3 by Luna Torashyngu
Sinopsis:
Vira memulai karir sebagai pemain basket profesional. Dan ternyata itu nggak gampang. Selain harus mengatur waktu antara kuliah dan bermain di klub, Dia juga harus mengatur perasaan dan emosinya saat bermain. Apalagi Vira bergabung di sebuah klub baru yang mayoritas pemainnya berusia muda dan minim pengalaman bertanding, membuat dia dan teman-temannya harus bekerja keras agar bisa bersaing di kompetisi klub tingkat nasional. Tapi Vira ternyata sangat menikmati profesi barunya tersebut. Bersama Rida, Vira dan teman-teman seklubnya menjalani kompetisi yang panjang dan penuh intrik itu, terutama saat bertemu dengan musuh lamanya.
Sayang, perjalanan karir Vira nggak berjalan mulus. Cedera lama yang selama ini menghantui dirinya kembali datang ditengah-tengah musim. Bahkan kali ini, cedera yang menimpa cewek itu bukan hanya membuat Vira harus berbaring di rumah sakit dan absen bertanding, tapi juga membuat dia harus melupakan mimpinya sebagai pemain basket. Vira terancam lumpuh total.
Tentu aja Vira sangat shock menerima kenyataan itu. Untung ada Niken, Rida, dan teman-teman lainnya yang selalu menghibur dan membantu, termasuk Stella yang tadinya bermaksud akan meninggalkan dunia basket untuk selamanya, kembali hanya demi Vira. Mampukah mereka membangkitkan kembali semangat hidup Vira dan membuatnya kembali mencintai Basket walau dia tahu nggak bakal bisa berjalan lagi untuk selamanya?

“Persahabatan sejati datangnya dari hati. Kalau kita selalu mengingat arti persahabatan yang kita miliki dalam hati kita, kita akan merasa selalu dekat. Persahabatan tersebut akan tetap abadi selamanya, walau kita berjauhan dan mungkin nggak akan pernah bertemu lagi.”-- D'Angel : Rose by Luna Torashyngu
