Detox: Day 3

I couldn't write much about what happened during day 2 because I was just trying to survive the day. I was lacking of sleep day that, since I slept at around 1 AM and woke up seven hours later, but I couldn't get myself to sleep.

I had a very long and exhausting day. Mom and I were driving around Tegal Lalang to find some furniture for my bedroom and I could feel the tingling sensation allover my body the whole time we drove out. Now, this tingling sensation is an old friend of mine. She usually comes whenever I was about to faint due to exhaustion, lack of sleep, lack of food, or simply standing for an hour straight at the field, with scorching sun, waiting for the weekly Monday Flag Ceremony to be over. Thank God I didn't faint. I brought an apple with me to munch on and it helped a bit.

Eating just apples this past three days made my tongue sore, the kind of sore that you get after eating a bucketful of pineapples. I have never experienced anything like it whenever I eat apples before, so this is a bit off for me.

My Granny Smith Apple was long gone by the middle of the day, so I switched things up with some local apples named Apel Malang. It was sour, but slightly sweeter compared to Granny Smith. It had a more crumbly texture too and the skin was less bitter. One point at night, when I was at the most hungry I have ever been through out the day, I couldn't finish my apple and put it back in the fridge thinking to myself, "Hey, maybe I'll make some apple juice for tomorrow." I'm already sick of eating apples.

And, by the grace of God, it's day three. In 24 hour, I can enjoy that yogurt and granola that my Mom bought at Coco Mart. I can munch on deep-fried salted squid that Mom made yesterday, in which I couldn't eat and had to tame myself not to go berserk and devour the whole thing in under a minute. I can go to Nalu Bowls and enjoy my bowl of J-Bay. Life is going to be awesome by the end of this detox, I can tell!

During my detox program, I have been doing nothing but having a quality time with my laptop. I wrote, I watched Riverdale, chatted with my boyfriend, made some calls to my best friend who is currently studying down under, write again, abusing my Spotify with its' Mood & Genres playlist, sleep, write again, and sleep again. It's been one hell of an unproductive weekend, but it's okay.

I'm thinking about making this detox thing a regular schedule, you know, like once every two weeks wouldn't be so bad. Don't you think?

Detox: Day 1

Hari ini adalah hari pertama gue memulai program detox, atau detoksifikasi. Jadi, untuk tiga hari ke depan, gue hanya akan mengonsumsi buah apel pada jam-jam makan dalam seharinya, agar segala racun dan apapun yang jahat yang bersemayam di tubuh gue akan berpindah ke jamban.

Dalam tiga hari ini, gue akan mengonsumsi apel, dan hanya apel. Selamat tinggal Taco Casa, sampai jumpa semur babi bikinan Ibu gue, jangan deket-deket gue Pringles, sampai nanti seember yogurt dan sekantong granolla dengan segala coconut flakes dan banana bits yang dibeliin Ibu gue di Coco Mart. Kalian semua harus menunggu untuk bisa sampai ke lambung gue.

Gue baru bangun satu jam yang lalu, seketika meraih handphone gue dan mengingatkan pacar gue untuk shalat yang khusyu. Kemudian baru sadar bahwa Jakarta ketinggalan satu jam dari Bali, tapi udah terlanjur ngingetin shalat. Ya udah lah, ya.

Siang ini Ibu gue masak, semacam, opor babi yang keliatannya menggiurkan banget. Sengaja pas gue main ke dapur untuk nggak melihat opor tersebut lebih dalam lagi, karena nanti muka gue nyemplung panci, ga lucu, dong.

Makan siang yang di rapel dengan sarapan pagi hari ini adalah apel ijo, atau versi bulenya Granny Smith Apple.  Kecut dan padat, cukup mengenyangkan untuk beberapa menit ke depan. Kalau sekarang, sih, masih tahan-tahan aja. Yang bikin iman goyan itu adalah ngebayangin opor babi di dapur itu, lho. Astaga.

Apel kedua hari ini. Kelaparan gue makin meledak-ledak. Ibarat kembang api yang dikirain melempem karena nggak nyala-nyala meskipun udah diapiin, namun tiba-tiba PYAR!! nyala. Dari tadi kepingin banget makan nasi dilaukin apapun yang gurih dan berasa, macem ayam dan sambel kecap, atau nasi campur babi, atau nasi goreng pakai kimchi. Padahal gue nggak doyan kimchi, tapi kayaknya enak aja gitu di mata gue. Apalagi pakai potongan gurita yang dimasak bareng gochujang, astaga.

Meh. Mood gue udah buyar kemana-mana dan badan gue makin lemas. Perlu asupan babi guling dan Milkshake kayaknya, nih.
