Tenerife Sea - Ed Sheeran



Mungkin setiap orang punya satu lagu yang paling dia suka di dunia, lagu tersebut sangat berarti dan berpengaruh di setiap kehidupannya. Kalau buat aku sendiri, lagu tersebut adalah Tenerife Sea - Ed Sheeran. 

Sudah bertahun-tahun saat kali pertama lagu itu dirilis sampai sekarang, lagu itu masih jadi urutan nomor satu lagu yang paling aku sukai sedunia. Bahkan, sejak jadi user Spotify, lagu itu selalu nangkring jadi lagu teratas. 

Karena lagu Tenerife Sea juga, aku jadi ingin sekali ke Tenerife. Melihat laut Tenerife, stargazing di Mount Teide yang katanya cocok untuk mengamati Milky Way itu. Karena lagu itu, aku juga jadi suka sama kata 'Lumière', dan memakai kata itu dimana-mana.

Lagu Tenerife Sea dari Ed Sheeran juga sekaligus menjadi lagu yang menunjukan eksistensiku di alam semesta ini, bahwa ada seorang perempuan bernama Vinka yang hidup dan bernafas di bumi ini dan menyukai lagu Tenerife Sea. 

Setidaknya, sudah 5 orang mengingat lagu yang aku suka. Aku senang ada orang yang mengingat hal remeh-temeh tentang aku; Perempuan yang sangat biasa dan suka lagu Tenerife Sea. 

Terima kasih ya, untuk orang-orang yang mengingat lagu yang aku suka di dunia. Setidaknya lewat orang-orang yang mengingat itu, keberadaan aku yang kurang dari debu kecil di luasnya galaksi ini akan diingat. 

Untuk Ed Sheeran, terima kasih sudah menciptakan lagu yang sangat indah. 

"Lumière, darling, Lumière over me"

Supernova

  Million bulbs in the void, bursts into a piece as its light disperse, like a supernova, we dwell in the fading light, fight against gravity and grow red, restart, become blue with fury, sedated by dark, concourse into the blackhole, turning it into a singularity, succumbing to the demise, reconciled with eternity. We were once scintilation, before we collapse into one, so what are we now? -vic

To Be Small Before the Divine

The storm within me has known no rest. It visits in the hush between dawn and prayer, when the world still slumbers, and my thoughts grow loud. The earth spins swiftly on its axis, chasing the sun with relentless haste, yet here I stand—tethered, heavy, slow. My soul lags behind the march of men; I watch the days unravel like threads slipping from weary hands. I meet countless faces, radiant and certain, yet within me, doubt stirs like a restless tide. I ask myself,  Who am I in the vast decree of His creation?  A breath among storms, a grain among mountains, a spark that flickers, known only to the One who kindled it. The world teaches us to run—to build, to gather, to proclaim our worth upon fragile pedestals—but my heart whispers another truth: that to diminish oneself before the Divine is the only way to truly rise. For what glory can man claim when his end is dust, when his pulse is but a loan from the Almighty? I have seen men boast of their light, yet forget that light ...

My September in the Midst of Chaos

(I made this on September, 3rd, 2025)   This September feels so heavy in Indonesia. Everywhere I turn, the news is filled with protests, anger, and heartbreak.  The unrest began in August, when public anger erupted over lawmakers’ lavish housing perks—benefits so excessive they felt like mockery against the struggles of ordinary people. That anger only deepened with the tragedy of Affan Kurniawan, a young motorcycle taxi driver killed by an armored police vehicle during a demonstration. His death, caught on camera, became a symbol of injustice and sparked a wave of grief and rage. That image has stayed with me, as it has with so many others. Now the unrest has spread across the country—Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Makassar. Protesters fill the streets, government buildings and police stations are burned, and casualties keep rising. Security forces respond with tear gas, arrests, and armored vehicles, while leaders seem distant, even absent. Watching President Prabowo attend a m...
