Seal And Heidi

Last few days or perhaps last few weeks I watched Oprah's Show, the most famous TV show in America. Really, she has a super power to influence other people thought. And what I like the most from Oprah's Show is she always has something worth to talk about. She is really good at explore her guests thought. And make jokes. If she has a chance, she always makes jokes. haha.

One of my favorite episode is when Seal and his wife Heidi Klum came to her show. There are a lot of things I learned from that celebrity couple. Seal is a singer and Heidi is a top supermodel. Basicly and usually, after get married celebrities like them become hard to find the right time to be together. Like you know yourself from the news that after they get married for a while or maybe if they get lucky for years -- they get divorce. And when they get divorce, they come up with all the reasonable reasons to cover the basic question whay they get divorce.

But this Seal and Heidi give me a new and different perspective about how exactly a marriage should go on. I don't know if someday they will get divorce too but so far from that Oprah Show, all I can see is they are in love and happy. Aawww..they are look lovely.

Seal said at that show that priorities plays a main role in a marriage. Or at least his marriage.

He said he is busy, he has a lot of things to do but his wife has his first priority above all. His wife first, then his family, and then the job. He said he learn from his father who did so much not good things to his mother and he learned from that so he can do so much better for his future wife.

Seal said that before you start to love your wife as a wife, you should put her in a position as your bestfriend. You should love her as you bestfriend because you don't want to disappoint your bestfriend. She is you partner for life though.

At the other road, I don't understand why some time people get bored with his/her couple after they've been in a relationship for years. I mean, someday you are going to marry your couple (hopefully) and it is a never ending journey, you will spend your lifetime with him/her. And you should be forever in love in him/her. So why that boring thing happen anyway?

I still don't get it.

I learned something from the preach at the church yesterday. The pastor is celebrating his 34th Wedding Anniversay (congratulations, Sir). And he shared then that there are conflicts in a marriage. You can't deny it. There is no perfect marriage. At the beginning of his marriage, he found so much troubles with his wife. Marriage is about making two human beings become one. And like I and other people know this for so long, we are all different. Especially when we talk about the differences between women and man. It tooks a lot of patient and changes over and over to make it better.

This is a part I like the most: The Pastor said, "I know I can't change my wife from being so stubborn and hard if first I can not change myself. "

Hmm.. that's a good one.

Anyway,recently my mom almost always preaching me about you are already 21 this year. This is the right time for you to meet someone good and get to know each other. Then she start to dreaming and bubblin' about her own imagination about her own daughter.

She keep tell me stories about her friends who her friend's daughter get married and so on and so on.

And I just like...

" .........................................................."

Oh mom, if I already found a good man and if I finally falling so much in love with him, you don't have to tell me all those stuffs. The fact is I haven't found that man. Hah.

But I believe there is a good timing for everything.

I patience with God timing. =)

It's All Wrong But It's Alright

Greetings y'all.

I know I decided to stop writing for a while in the last entry of mine. I thought at that moment that it will take a long time to get ready again, to get up and walk and cheer up again. I thought I will through the same pattern which you know; you will need time to escape for a moment, you learn to accept all those problems, and the move on slowly but sure. But something really bad happened after I wrote my last entry and I feel like betrayed.

Some people that I recognize them as some of my favorite people on earth, push me down and put me in the condition which I can' stand it anymore. I don't understand until this time why they chose to did that to me instead of try to cheer me up. Really, I don't understand the reason, their way of thinking. But the main point is what they did made me cry. I cried so hard and loud untiI feel my eyes hurt and I kind of hardly breathe. I felt like a panda at that night. Gee..

Then I remember I talked to God while I am crying and said,

"Is this what You want? I prayed everyday to You asking for a power to hold on and I am hold on. But this time, what they did to me right now is out of my power. To see me cry like this, is this what You want?"

I am not a cry baby, I am not a type of person who always cry everytime I have a problem but this is really really out of my power to hold the tears. I really-really can't stop myself cry at that time. So I cry anyway.

After I can stop myself from crying, something happened. Before and during I cried, all I felt is like full, hard, heavy feeling. But after I cried, after I talked to God that way, all I can feel is relieve, free, light feeling. Suddenly I am no longer feel sad or depress. It's just like someone or something take away my burden. And if it's not God who did that, I don't know who else.

Maybe I need to cry aloud some time, to clean up to wash away every burden I have.

And He clean me up.

Now, I really don't care what they said about me.

I will live my own life and not anyone can bother me.

You can call me sensitive. That alright.

You can call me talking like rubbish here. Oh..that's really alright.

All I can say is you don't know what I've been through all this time.

Even if you know (in fact one of those people who did this to me know what I've been through), you still did that to me.

It is all wrong. But it's still alright.

In the other side, I know this is some kind of test from above. I've been reading a bible every night and it's useless to read it everyday if I can't practice it in the real life. It is hard to not hate them who did that to me. But I try to obey someone who has a bigger power in everything.

He said I have to love them like I love myself.

He said I have to forgive them who hurt me, even if they hurt me a thousand times and ask me for forgiveness for a thousand times too.

He said I have to seek peace and try to get it.

He said I have to obey everything He said because what He said is good for me.

So I obey. =)

Back to the real life, this next semester is going to hard for me. I need to work as a part of my internship program for approx. 2 1/2 month and I am going to get through the hardest part in my Communication Science program which is....KOLOKIUM. Good and beautiful name in front but really deadly if you put your head into it.

Kolokium like I said before is the first part of my final assignment which is called Skripsi. yeah.

In this Deadly Kolokium, I need to prepare my topic for my communication research which is details here is a very important thing. I have to have perfect reasons why I choose that topic, and they - the judges or whatever you can call them- are going to ask me why I choose my topic. And they will ask the details. They will ask like: why I choose to choose that topic, why you are going to do that reasearch in this area or this place, why you pick this research object, why do you want to research this, and the other whys. All based on data, not my opinion.

I start hating why.

I have 7 books in my room right now and I think it's going to be a lot more.

I have to read them, pick the theories carefully, and start to write my kolokium proposal.

So have a blessed day everyone!

I am really fine right now. I am ready to write again this time. Fight!!! (^.')o

Oh yes, I am cheery merry person once again.

hauhauahuhauahuahauhauhau.=D

p.s: It is my blog! I can write anything about everything here. Get used to it please.

Thanks to Vipe for her loving entry and her loving Aerosmith's Dream On lyric. That's really sweet babe.

I do thank you.

Sing it with me, sing for the year

Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear

Sing it with me, if it's just for today

Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

B.P.G.I.N.D.W.M.Y (Be Patient God Is Not Done with Me Yet)

Hei all, sudah lama sekali kayaknya saya tidak update ini blog. But strange, I don't miss it. haha

Belakangan ini ada banyak kejadian yang banyak membuat saya down, banyak membuat saya banyak berpikir ulang tentang segala sesuatunya, dan membuat saya benar-benar harus menata segalanya mulai dari awal lagi. Pheww. It's hard. It's painful.

Dari segala hal yang ada di dunia ini, ada suatu hal yang pasti yang aku yakini benar. Bahwa dibalik setiap peristiwa buruk dan masalah yang muncul dalam hidupku, selalu ada campur tangan Tuhan didalamNya. Saat ini, ketika aku mencoba untuk mem-flash back kembali apa yang terjadi dalam hidupku di masa lalu, aku benar-benar jelas melihat disitu ada Tuhan yang membuat aku menjadi lebih baik. Aku menyadari bahwa justru melalui masalah dan peristiwa berat yang aku alami, disitulah aku dijadikan lebih baik. Justru dari masalah-masalah yang membuatku jatuh berulang kali, dari situlah kedewasaanku dibentuk. Dia yang mendidik aku menjadi seorang manusia yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya, setiap hari. Dan memang, ketika aku lagi diproses melalui masalah-masalah itu, tidak pernah ada jalan yang mudah untuk melaluinya. Dan karena bahkan aku tidak bisa mengandalkan teman-temanku, aku hanya bisa mengandalkan diriku sendiri. There are no more best friends for me. There are only good friends.

Bible, prayers, and tears are my new best friend in the moment. haha. And Job (Ayub maksudnya) is the perfect example.

Baru-baru ini ada banyak kejadian yang aku alami sendiri maupun yang dialami temen-temenku yang membuat aku mengambil kesimpulan bahwa seorang pria yang benar-benar baik itu jarang ada dan jarang ditemukan. Bahkan para pria-pria yang aku kenal dekat, aku kenal lama-pun ternyata tidak sebaik yang aku kira sebelumnya. Ada yang mengeluarkan statement yang pada akhirnya tidak bisa dia penuhi sendiri, ada yang tidak mau mengakui apa yang kelihatan jelas telah dilakukan, ada yang seringkali tidak respect bahkan dengan teman cewek mereka, and so on. I keep hear that stories, I experienced it myself some of that.

I am not talking about a perfect man. A man who think that he is perfect is not perfect at all. The thought that he is perfect is the unperfectness in him.

Now I see more clearly, they are not men yet. Still boys, still not growing up. Ah..they are only age 20-21 though. What I expect. hehe. Maybe I expect too much.

Now I see that finding a good man is a hard thing to do. Maybe there is a lucky factor in this. Maybe if you lucky enough, you will get a good man. A grown up mature man.

And hopefully, I am lucky enough someday. Amen.=)

So here I am now, with the rest power I have in me trying to fix my broken wings so I can be able to fly again. And until that time, I decide to not writing anything in this blog or in any other thing. Like I said, I need to be fixed. I need to cure my pain first.

Dan ketika aku sudah benar-benar sembuh, tidak ada satu orangpun bahkan dari orang-orang di masa laluku yang bisa membuatku jatuh lagi.

I will throw away my past, and always welcome my future.

God is transforming me right now.

And soon you will see the new me.

A better me.

A stronger me.

Ohh..don't think that I will look sad or look miserable. I will stay cheer up, I will sing I will dance I still do whatever I want to do to keep me happy. Only, maybe I am not that cheery merry person anymore.

Fragile Aquarian

Musim liburan gini, kayaknya gw bakal lebih sering deh update entry di blog. Habis gimana, ga ada kerjaan sih.hahaha.. But I hope I will find something to do, so saya tidak harus menganggur seperti pengangguran begini. hehehe

Kemarin habis dari gereja, gw ada acara BBQ-an di rumahnya tus2 di daerah barat sana. Dan satu hal yang buat gw seneng banget adalah ada seseorang yang sangat saya kangeni, sangat saya pengen temui menelepon sayaaaahhh. hauauhauhauhau. Ipan called me, and I am soooo happy. I just miss him so much, and I just feel like I am in the middle of time when I need his present the most - but he can not be there with me. Dia baru pulang ntar akhir 2009, dan gw pasti bakal meluk dia deh begitu dia pulang nanti. Dan sekali lagi, dia selalu ada disana walaupun hanya melalui sambungan internasional yang lelet di saat gw butuh seseorang yang bisa dengan sabar mau dengerin setiap keluh kesah gw. And he is cheered me up! So thank you pan...so much thank you.

Gw akhir-akhir ini baru aja menyadari ternyata banyak hal di sekitar gw yang gw hargai dan banggakan -- tempat gw bergantung selama ini ternyata yang menjatuhkan diri gw sendiri. I need someone who really care about what I say, someone who care about what is in my mind and what I feel. And my best friends failed me. All I need is a friend who sitting next to me while I'm crying. No need to speak a word, silence will be fine. But no one there, and no one can't.

Ipan said I need to be strong. Don't cry. But how can I not cry when I know that I'm all by myself to face this battle in my thought and no one there to lift me up? I am not that strong, but I am trying.

I throw a statement yesterday in the msn about something. And the tragic thing is my best friends, who notice that statement make a joke over my words yesterday. Do they ever realize that I almost mean what I said??? That it do break my heart in the time I'm saying that words?? Sad, they make it a joke. But it's not a joke at all. Now I know that's what best friends are not for.

And they failed me twice.

Di gereja kemarin, pendeta disana ngomong tentang sesuatu.

Pertempuran paling hebat dalam hidup kita ada di pikiran kita. And I am now in the battle of my thought, fighting for survival and a battle between being good or being bad. Being wise or being fool. Being a friend or being a foe.

Something that look nice in the beginning, raise me up. But then I realize that nice thing is not that nice anymore. And it fail me down.

Something that made me down for years, something that made the most dark level in my entire life and I need years also to get up and walk again --- fail me again, for the second time.

Maybe it is my fault to give them a chance - a chance to almost destroy my life. Maybe it's me who being a fool. I don't know.

But here's a thing. Don't ever come back and ruin everything again. I am over it. Now I am trying to build my life start from piece to piece again, so don't ever-ever come to destroy it again.

I used to believe in fairytales. About its never ending love and happiness, about the right prince and that true love kisses - that someday you will find your prince, fall in love and live happily ever after. I used to believe in forever.

But I guess it's all too good to be true.

• Happy Birthday Ipan!!
• p.s: June 23rd 2008.
• Thank you for being there, when nobody there.

Little Mars Boy: "it's what they do that matters, not what they say."

Happy hOOOOOliday!!!!!!

Heloow all, how's life? how's holiday?hahahaha..musim nganggur sudah tiba, saatnya segala sesuatu yang berhubungan dengan perkuliahan dan stres pensiun untuk sementara.

Hari ini gw bangun pagi-pagi sekali. Pagi ini tadi gw udah bertekad bulat buat jogging. Yes...jogging sodara-sodara. Bagi teman-teman saya semua, kalian pasti pada buka mulut saking ga percayanya gw jogging. hauhauhauhau.

Ga tau dapet angin dari mana, akhir-akhir ini gw jadi sadar untuk menjaga kesehatan gw. Akhir-akhir ini juga gw sering buka situs How Stuff Works, yang gw temuin tidak sengaja, dan disana gw dapet banyak pengetahuan baru tentang health. And doing the exercise is something important to do. So, inilah saya dengan ngajak Edo tadi pagi, akhirnya gw jogging keliling kompleks Araya selama kira-kira 40 menit. ahakahak. Sebuah terobosan baru yang tidak pernah terjadi sebelumnya dalam hidup sayah. Ternyata dunia di pagi hari itu jauh lebih indah dan lebih sejuk.Di Araya sana, gw sambil menyelam minum air banyak banget. Selain jogging, disana gw nemuin banyak banget rumah sangat keren luar biasa. Huah... I love architecture so it's like found heaven while you are on earth. Gw jadi betah deh di sana, meskipun kadang kita berdua sering kesasar gitu karena ternyata jalannya buntu. Tapi ndak papa deh, di saat kita kesasar-kesasar gitu gw nemuin banyak rumah bagus nan keren. Huahhh...=DYang tidak gw sadari berikutnya adalah setelah jogging ini, seluruh badan gw akan pegal-pegal karena sudah ga pernah olahraga selama bertahun-tahun. T.T

Anyway, happy holiday all. May your holiday bring something new to you, whatever it is.

Oya, gw baru aja blog walking, dan gw banyak menemukan banyak entry bagus disana.

Apapun masalah mereka, mereka telah berhasil menemukan cara untuk bangkit dari kejatuhan mereka.

Just like them,

everything or everyone can try to hurt me, but I won't let them hurt me.

I will find my happiness and strength, and no one can take it away from me.

I will dance, I will sing, I will do whatever to make myself feel free and happy.

I will fight for everything I deserve and throw away everything I don't deserve.

And guess what, I deserve to be happy and to love and to be loved and to be someone great in the future.

• Vipe's It's Not a Dead End Just a Little Rocky Road
• Christa's Holidays I'm Comiiiinggggg!!!!!

btw, it is time to let go. =)

Just Like The First Day

Hari ini adalah hari terakhir sayah untuk pergi ke kampus dan ngerjain ujian. hauahuhauhauhauhauauahuau. oye.oye.oye.

Lain dari hari-hari kemarin pas ujian yang isinya cuman tegang, stres, kebeban, tapi hari ini kayaknya dunia serasa berdamai dan hidup terasa indah.hahaha. Hari ini adalah my last day of never ending torture, dan hari ini jadwal ujiannya sangat-sangat swt. Ujian pertama gw jadwalnya jam 7.30 dan yang satunya lagi jam 13.30. Dan berhubung gw ga pengen mati nganggur di kampus, jadinya gw memutuskan untuk dateng buat absensi ujian yang pertama (soalnya ujiannya udah dilaksanakan lebih dulu, jadi tadi ke kampus cuman buat absen doang), pulang, ntar berangkat lagi ke kampus buat ujian yang kedua. Ga tau kenapa, tadi pas gw dateng ke kampus, gw jadi ngerasa kayak pertama kali gw kuliah. Padahal gw udah tiga tahun kuliah, tapi tadi gw kerasa kayak ini hari pertama gw kuliah. Ada feeling-feeling excited gitu. Terus tadi juga ketemu temen-temen gw karena kebetulan kita semua ngambil kelas yang sama. Dan habis absensi, kita duduk berame-rame dan mulai ngomongin soal rencana liburan. Kita mulai plan buat nginep-nginep rame-rame kayak setahun lalu, terus tadi temen gw Arinta juga ngajakin anak-anak Fikom CC buat kumpul-kumpul. Huah..holiday is coming and there is only excitement for having a lot of fun.

We will have fun, go mad! Owww yeaaahh..=D

Tapi setelah liburan tengah tahun gini, kita semua bakal jarang ketemu karena kita semua bakal magang beramai-ramai. Yuni, Lili, Tansil pada magang ke Jakarta, sementara yang lainnya magang di tempat yang beda-beda. Setelah magang kita sibuk Kolokium alias skripsi tahap I-nya Fikom (jagoan number one Fikom pokoknya, TA ajah harus dua kalih). Jadi otomatis kita bakal jarang ketemu padahal selama bertahun-tahun ini kita selalu ketemu di kampus.

Jadi acara-acara yang udah di plan sama temen-temen gw ini mungkin aja sebagai tanda perpisahan nggak langsung kita, karena sebentar lagi kita akan berjuang buat jalan kita masing-masing. Bukan yang kayak dulu-dulu..kalau nggak masuk-- minta di TA-in, tugas dititipin, kerja tugas bareng-bareng, cari bahan ujian rame-rame, ga masuk juga rame-rame..we depends on each other. Tapi kali ini, kita harus berjuang sendiri.

Time is running so fast, and sometimes we don't realize it running so fast, until we realize it when everything is almost in the end of the story. Gw kadang masih ga percaya kalau gw udah di ujung-ujung semester dan sebentar lagi gw bakal skripsi. Gw udah ga lagi harus ngambil kelas, senin sampai sabtu kuliah, and other stuffs. Baru kerasa kayak kemarin adalah hari pertama kali gw kuliah, dan sekarang gw harus percaya ini hampir akhirnya.

I think I need to enjoy every moments of every second in my life. Bad or good, it will be our moments of our life that will never come back for twice. And I think I need to treasure what I have along with what I've been through, include all of my friends.

Orang-orang bilang masa-masa SMA adalah masa paling indah. Tapi masa kuliah gw juga ga kalah indah. I thank God for my old friends back in high school and I do love and treasure them. But I also treasure my friends at university, and I do love them the same.

p.s: KOBE...FIGHTING!!!!!!Hidup Lakers!!! Hidup Lakerssss....Ayo berjuanggggg!!! Fight!!!

Angkhot

Hari ini adalah hari sabtu. Dan sabtu minggu ini merupakan hari sabtu paling kelabu dan sekaligus paling melas dalam sejarah kehidupan saya. Penyebabnya cuman satu. Angkot. Kalau di bahasa Thailand-kan jadinya angkhot. hauhauhauhauahuahauhau.

Hari ini kelas Not for Profit PR gw lagi merealisasikan project kelas yang menang tender pas presentasi beberapa minggu lalu. Project yang dilaksanakan sekelas 50 orangan ini temanya adalah Little Heart, yang diselenggarakan di Yayasan Pondok Kasih. Nah karena tiap kali pertemuan rapat gw-nya nggak pernah dateng dan datengpun gw ikutnya cuman sebentar doank, jadi otomatis gw nggak ngerti apa-apa soal itu project. Gw cuman tanya-tanya dari temen-temen gw yang ikutan rapat.

Nah dari yang gw denger dari temen-temen gw, ini kegiatan dilaksanakan di sekolah milik Yayasan Pondok Kasih. Lokasinya ada di Keputih, bekas TPS di Surabaya. Gw, ga pernah tahu dimana Keputih. Dan dari yang dibilang ama anak-anak, di Keputih itu rawan, jadi jangan bawa barang aneh-aneh. Karena daerah itu rawan, kita nggak boleh keliatan mencolok. Karena kita ga boleh keliatan mencolok, jadinya kita semua berangkat dan pulangnya naik angkhot.

".........................."

Dari hasil rapat itu, imaginasi gw ama temen-temen gw jadi kagak karuan. Gw sama yang lain udah mikir yang enggak-enggak. Pertamanya nggak ada yang bilang ke gw kalau kegiatannya itu dilaksanakan di sekolah. Dalam bayangan gw, kegiatan ini dilaksanakan di ruang terbuka gitu, deket tempat pembuangan sampah, banyak rampok-rampok siap ngerampok, anak-anak kecil rebutan dengan sadis, and so on lah. Jadi tadi pas gw berangkat ke kampus, gw bener-bener ga bawa apa-apa. Cuman HP CDMA dan uang 10 ribu di kantong. huhuhu. Rambut dikuncir, nggak usah macem-macem, pokoknya jangan mencolok. Oh God.. gw udah kayak mau pergi ke pedalaman Irian Barat aja. Sampai di kampus, semua udah pada masuk angkhot masing-masing. Seumur hidup baru sekali ini gw naik angkhot. Yang hebat, angkhot gw adalah angkhot pertama yang berangkat. Dan guess what, angkhot gw adalah angkhot yang terkakhir yang sampai di tujuan. Gw ga tau deh dimana salahnya.

Pas udah sampai, gw ama Nita kebagian jaga pos 3. Jadi tuh anak-anak ntar disuruh rally ke pos-pos, dan di tiap pos ada game-nya. Gw ama Nita kebagian game puzzle. Ini puzzle bukan puzzle biasa. Puzzle-nya berasal dari gambar hasil print yang dilaminasi gitu, terus digunting sesuka hati. Jadi bukan puzzle yang bentuknya steady gitu, yang ini piece puzzle-nya tidak beraturan bentuknya. Sangat sederhana banget sekali. Pos kita berdua terletak di bagian luar sekolah. Pos yang lainnya ada di taman tengah sekolah. Jadi cuma kita berdua yang ada di taman luar sekolah, bersama ibu-ibu yang nungguin anak-nya, ama mobil-mobil, dan angkhot-angkhot.

Gw ama Nita ga tau berapa kelompok yang bakal dateng ke pos-nya kita. Jadi kita asal duduk, asal nyediain puzzle biar kalau ada anak-anak dateng mereka bisa nyusun, duduk lagi nunggu kelompok berikutnya, nyiapin lagi, dan seterusnya. Hasilnya, gw ma Nita jadi nggak ngerti sudah ada berapa kelompok yang udah dateng ke pos-nya kita. Tapi kita cuek, duduk lagi, sambil nebak kalau masih ada kelompok lain ntar yang bakal dateng.

15 menit sudah berlalu, tapi tuh anak-anak belum dateng juga. Kita masih duduk-duduk sambil dengerin lagu sambil ditemenin angin, angkhot, dan lain-lainnya.

Lalu tiba-tiba si Lele, MC acara pas itu udah mulai ngomong lagi lewat TOA. Kita denger. Gw ngeliat Nita, yang juga bertanya-tanya ama gw. Gw langsung ringkes tuh puzzle gajebo (ga jelas bo) terus masuk. Yak, bagus, ternyata di dalem udah sepi, mereka pada masuk ke aula atas, dan tinggal kita berdua yang ketinggalan di luar. Terima kasih yah teman-teman. Kalian sangat-sangat melupakan kami. hauhauhauahuahuahuahau.

Gw jadi curiga, jangan-jangan nih panitia sengaja nyomot kita berdua karena dianggap paling tidak niat sedunia buat ditaruh di luar, dikasih tugas pos paling gampang (suer, pos-pos yang lain tuh semuanya keliatan seru-seru), dan sengaja ditinggalin gitu aja di luar. ahakahakahak..of course itu cuman imaginasi gw aja. hahaha... I know they don't have that thought.

Tapi apapun tugas yang dberikan buat gw, setidak suka apapun gw sama tugas itu, harus gw laksanakan dengan baik dan dengan sepenuh hati. Learn to have a heart like a servant for God.

And a servant doesn't choose his/her task by him/herself. But they simply do the best whatever the task is.

Overall, hari ini adalah hari paling melas of the month gw, tapi sekaligus hari paling tidak terlupakan yang akan gw kenang sampai nanti jadi kakhek dan nenekh.

And oh..God is good, really.

p.s: film The Happening? film jayus tingkat tinggi. Kayaknya Mark Walberg salah terima tawaran peran deh. Dia disini, no keren at all.

Shakespeare Fever

Akhir-akhir ini kalau lagi online, gw sering mampir ke wikipedia. Gw suka baca artikel-artikel pengetahuan umum plus fakta-fakta yang sebenernya ga penting tapi penting juga sebagai tahu-tahuan doang. Misalnya fakta bahwa jenis keju yang paling banyak dijual diseluruh Amerika adalah keju cheddar. Keripik kentang ternyata ditemukan tidak sengaja ketika bos kereta api Amerika pada waktu itu (gw lupa namanya) terus mengeluh karena kentang goreng-nya dia terlalu tebal, jadi lembek gitu. Karena kokinya sebel, akhirnya si koki motong kentang-nya tipis, terlalu tipis bahkan. Jadi pas digoreng malah jadi keripik ketimbang kentang goreng. Lalu kota Manhattan New York adailah tempat paling buruk buat star gazing karena polusi udara yang begitu parah. Hal-hal ga penting tapi penting kayak gitu yang gw suka dari wikipedia. Gw juga suka baca artikel tentang orang-orang jaman dulu kayak Beethoven, Mozart, sejarah Rusia, and so on. It's just like enlarge my knowledge. And I know it's good for me.

Hari ini, gw baca artikel tentang William Shakespeare (sulit banget sih nulis namanya) plus karya-karyanya dia. Dan kayaknya gw mulai suka deh ama karya-karya klasik-nya dia. A Midsummer Night's Dream, Julius Ceasar, Cleopatra and Antonius, Othello, dan yang lainnya. Kayaknya gw bakal mulai hunting film-filmnya si Shakespeare deh.hauhauhau

Oya, gw juga wikipediaing (karena ini bukan google jadi gw ga bisa bilang goggling.hauhauhauhau) Audrey Hepburn (really Vipe, gw juga penasaran ama film-nya dia yang itu), dan gw nemuin sebuah puisi yang di tulis Sam Levenson untuk cucu-cucunya. Puisi ini juga yan kemudian dipopulerkan oleh Audrey, yang ditujukan untuk anak-anaknya.

Time Tested Beauty Tips

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!

--Sam Levenson --

6 days left to the freedom!!!!!

God Rocks

Setelah sekian lama saya struggling sendiri ga tau mau magang dimana semester depan, akhirnya hari ini saya dapet kepastiannya. Akhirnya saya dapet juga tempat magang. hauahuahuahauhauhauhauhauha.........=D

Aduh senangnya. oye.oye.oye.oye.

I feel like I want to hug someone. ahakahakahakahak.

So terima kasih kepada R.S Spesialis Husada Utama tercinta, yang walaupun awalnya mbuletisasi pas ditanyain kepastian tapi akhirnya dia bilang iya juga ke gw. They said YES. Ahhhh...it's a beautiful word of the day. =D =D =D

Hari Selasa sampe Kamis ini gw ada bimbingan sama dosen pembimbing gw yang dulu pernah gw sebutin judes tigkat tinggi, and the blah. Dan yang namanya image, kalau udah kadung kuat tertanam di kepala, pengaruhnya bisa luar biasa. Image-nya di dosen gw ini, paling ga di mata mahasiswa Fikom penjurusan Corporate Communication adalah judes, baiknya sama cowok doank, ngambekan, nakutin. Dan begitu mendekati hari Selasa kemarin pas bimbingan, gw udah ketakutan tiga per-empat mati. Gw takut rancangan proposal gw dibabat habis sama dia, gw takut di caci maki, ditampar

dengan kata-kata, and so on lah. Kesimpulannya gw panik sendiri. Apalagi pas nulis jadwal bimbingan itu, gw orang pertama. Jadi gw takut gw dihabisin pertama kali pas gw lihat dia pegang tuh jadwal.

Tapi nggak tau dianya lagi enak hati hari itu atau pas bimbingan ternyata dia nggak se nakutin biasanya pas di kelas atau gimana, tapi selama bimbingan itu dia nggak judes sama sekali. Apalagi pas nama gw dipanggil (yang ternyata dia manggilnya acak) terus proposal gw diperiksa, dia cuman betulin judul proposal gw karena teorinya udah bener, cuma gw-nya aja yang salah membuat judul. Huahuahuahau...Gw udah kayak bakal masuk neraka tingkat 7 aja rasanya. Tapi ternyata gw cuma disuruh ganti kalimat judul. That simple. Ahhh..bahagianya hari Selasa.

Hari ini gw bimbingan lagi yang kedua kalinya. Temen gw tadi sebelum bimbingan ada yang bilang kalau kita ntar pasti ditanya alasan pemilihan judul proposal. Yang itu gw udah isa jawab. Terus ternyata ada yang kedua. Nanti juga ditanya alasan pemilihan tempat. Itu yang gw mati. Dan gw kembali ketakutan paranoid panik ga karuan. Hebat memang image yang muncul dari diri Ibu dosen saya ini. Padahal gw tahu kalo dia nggak senakutin pas dia ngajar, tapi tetep aja gw ngerasa panik bukan main. Takut ada yang imperfect pada proposal gw.

Tapi ternyata tadi dia juga baik. Bahkan senyum-senyum ketawa. Gw jadi lega. Apalagi tadi proposal gw udah beres, tinggal di ACC sama dia. Ahhhhh......indahnya hidup iniii. =D

Sehabis gw bimbingan, gw telpon tuh Husada Utama buat mastiin gw diterima apa enggak disana (sambil bohong sedikit sih ama Ibu-nya. Gw bilang hari ini deadline terakhir proposal.hauhauau). And thanks God akhirnya dia bilang OK tinggal tunggu proses HRD-nya. ahahahahahahaha...Akhirnya beres semua.Thanks to God. If I allowed to say in another words, I would like to say " GOD...YOU ROCKS!!!!!". hahahahaha..You do rocks! So many many thank you.=)

Proposal magang = DONE.DONE.DONE!!

Urusan Ibu Marketing = no progress at all.

Produksi Jurnal Korporat = suruh buat 3 soal konseptual sendiri, dijawab sendiri. Semakin sulit pertanyaannya, nilainya semakin baik.

Not-for-Profit PR = idem

p.s: To Ibu dosen pembimbing saya, maafkan atas penilaian saya terhadap Ibu selama ini. Ibu ternyata ga seserem yang dibilang orang-orang kok. You rocks too!! haha

p.s 2: Thanks to Fritz, untuk semua bantuannya. You are superb!!

The Gong And The Siksaan Sebelum Libur Panjang

Helooowww...hauhauhauhauhauau. Rasanya sudah seabad saya tidak online. And it's nice to be back. Minggu-minggu terakhir kuliah memang menyebalkan. Udah banyak tugas, nggak puas tugas masih aja ada UAS tulis ntar dua minggu lagi. Belum lagi gw juga mulai panik gara-gara progress Ibu marketing belum jalan. Si Ibu lagi hamil jadi dia banyak kena morning sickness and the blah. Jadi otomatis dia banyak nggak masuk, dan kemudian berimbas pada gw belum kerja apa-apa. Padahal jadwal berangkat ke Jakarta-nya tanggal 9 ntar. Jadi pada intinya, gw mati minggu depan ini. Mau nggak mau gw harus mulai kerja, nggak peduli disambar petir apa kena banjir badang. Yah..mudah-mudahan banjirnya nyampe ke Jakarta sih, jadi kantor-kantor pada tutup semua.huahuahauhauhauhuahua..

Anyway-niway...hari Jumat lalu gw diajak Lili buat nemenin Davis, anak transakom (transportasi dan akomodasi)-nya Communication Day buat kembaliin gong. Gw heran ama anak-anak ComDay. Kenapa mereka pinjem gong aja sampe jauh banget di Sidoarjo. Kenapa ngak pinjem di sekolah-sekolah gitu. Kan biasanya mereka ada yang begituan. Pas gw tanya ngembaliin dimana, ternyata ngembaliin gong-nya di Sidoarjo. Ok, gw masih biasa aja. Pas di mobil, itu gong dimasukin ke bagasi. Nah, berhubung itu mobilnya Davis kecil, jadi terpaksa tiang gong-nya harus dimasukin lebih dalam dan akhirnya harus nongol gitu sampe di jok tengah. Gw duduk di jok tengah. Jadi bisa dibayangkan kalau seandainya cara nyetirnya Davis rada ngawur dan pas belok-belok dia terlalu ngebelok, gw bisa-bisa kena hantaman tiang gong. hauhauhauhauhau..OMG..ngak keren banget. Jadi sepanjang perjalanan ke Sidoarjo untuk kembaliin tuh gong, gw harus megangin tuh gong supaya nggak goyang. Kalau ngak, nyawa gw jadi taruhannya. ahakahak

Seumur hidup gw, gw ga pernah pergi ke yang namanya Sidoarjo. Jadi ini pertama kalinya gw ke Sidoarjo dan itupun untuk kembaliin gong. Gw pikir pertama yang namanya Sidoarjo itu kota kecil yang yang ngak ada apa-apanya. Emang sih gw pernah denger Sun mal apa gitu..Tapi gw kira paling mal-nya ga besar-besar amat. Gw juga ngira tuh Sidoarjo kotanya kecil jadi bakal sepi. Tapi ternyata gw malah melongo sambil terkagum-kagum pas gw udah sampe di Sidoarjo. Begitu masuk kotanya, langsung udah ada Rumah Sakit. Terus langsung masuk perumahan di kiri kanan jalan. Udah gitu, di jalan utama pas masuk Sidoarjo udah keliatan ruko-ruko gede, plus mall-nya, plus ada waterpark-nya. Gw jadi kayak orang katrok yang baru dari desa deh kayaknya. Sidoarjo itu ternyata ngak seboring yang gw kira. Mungkin yang buat gw bingung cuma satu. Ini di jalan utama- nya Sidoarjo aja udah ada bertumpuk ruko, mall, ma waterpark. Nggak kayak Surabaya yang kalo mau ke waterpark aja mesti ke barat. Kalo mau ke mall, di seluruh penjuru mata angin juga ada tinggal milih. Emang kota Sidoarjo cuman sepanjang jalan utama itu ya? huahua.

Happy June all!! Mari sama-sama kita sambut liburan panjang yang sebentar lagi akan tiba.

Dan ketika saat itu tiba, yang ada hanya having a lot of fun dan kebebasan. Fight!!! (^.')o
