happy new year wish a happy life

Wow! it's been sooooo longtime since my last writing.. and again, this time, I need to make a confession..

Hell yeah, to me, this blog is more like a redemption in this new age of technology filled with any kind of social media-internet-based savvy, I used to write my diary back then in the 90s but as that way didn't appeal anymore, so I have to consent to this new mode.

All is done to keep me SANE!

Ok, just so you know.

So,  this is a new year, AGAIN! And what have I reached this year? I still don't know. Yeah, that's the beauty! The joy of living is in its mystery. I do believe that. Life, to me will have no meaning when I already know what happens next.

Hmpff, it do sound cynical, well  I am not the nicest person on earth. No need reminders on that fact. And that's the reason why I write this time.

I do something, no, I do things wrong back in 2011 and many years before that.

But I think, the worst is in the last of this year. I think, I've hurt many of my friends and for that, I do regret and sorry. I want to be prejudice free this year and beyond. I pray this year I can be so much better and so too with my relationship with others.

GLAMOROUS MORNING

It's 8:36am on Saturday.

I'm sitting here at my computer with a cup of hot green tea in my hands.

The weather is scorching as usual, but I am still looking out of my balcony watching the silent buildings out there.

So this is what it's going to feel like on my morning every Saturday in Jakarta.

I thought I would just sit down at my computer and give it a whirl before I head off to do.. I don't know.

Good morning world!

Firts Published Report!!

Whaaaa!! My first published news report!! Wickeddd!!! 

So, my first report is finally published and the last hit I checked is 421!! So awesommmeee!! 

Knowing this, the feeling is just a bliss. All of the weariness during the investigation on the spot is all paid only by seeing my name that is typed in a small corner at the end of the article. 

Thanks Rabb for giving me this opportunity to feel this kind of feeling. Being a newbie journalist is not that easy. Especially when I have to interview people. Before this, I've been always shy and can't open a conversation with others especially strangers. But now, with this profession, I'm required to be brave!!

Ok, as long as God with me, nothing's to fear about. This is the link to my published news:

Me with one of my correspondent; lovely Lucy from San Fransisco!!!

 

I was talking with TEITURRR!!!!!!!!

How many times you've dreamed yourself having conversation with your favorite musician? Me??? millions times! And somehow, I had this opportunity to ask one of my musician heroes; TEITUR, about a petty question.. This is the very short conv. I had on his facebook wall:

Me:
Hi.. except your own song, what is the most played song on your play list right now? ♥

Teitur:
Ars Nova, a very good choir.

Me:
Nice. I'm not familiar with that but I was just Googling it. It sounds so peaceful. Thank you for your time answering this. Always love your music ♥

Teitur:
Cool. It's the Danish one.. I think there are several Ars Nova choirs if you google.

Me:
Yeah, I found example of Ars Nova composed by Guillaume de Machaut, performed by Capilla Flamenca from Wikipedia, hahhaha..


Ohh, I'm so happy, even though today I had a bad day since I lost my mobile phone

GEDUNG SATE: 1 2 3, Poseee!!

I've been living in Bandung like more than seven or eight years, and this is the first time I took pictures in front of the very famous Gedung Sate. Well, I didn't feel anything at all though but blushing when people staring at my poses, lol..

What makes me amazed the most of living in Bandung is how people appreciate their heritage so much. People in Bandung, especially Sundanese people, have special way in preserving their cultural heritage. I'm not talking about physical preservation and stuff, but I'm talking about how Sundanese people living the heritage up in their soul. And I feel very lucky to be a part of that spirit now!

Indonesian No. 1 food: BAKSO!!

Hati saya sedang SAKITTT!!

Ya, saya menulis post ini dalam Bahasa Indonesia karena saya tidak ingin ada seseorang yang mengerti soal ini. Hati saya sedang sangat sakit sehingga saya akan menulis soal Bakso. Yeah, bakso! Siapa yang tidak suka bakso??? Semua orang Indonesia suka, apparently!

"Bakso umumnya dibuat dari campuran daging sapi giling dan tepung tapioka, akan tetapi ada juga baso yang terbuat dari daging ayam, ikan, atau udang. Dalam penyajiannya, bakso umumnya disajikan panas-panas dengan kuah kaldu sapi bening, dicampur mi, bihun, taoge, tahu, terkadang telur, ditaburi bawang goreng dan seledri. Bakso sangat populer dan dapat ditemukan di seluruh Indonesia; dari gerobak pedagang kaki lima hingga restoran."(Disadur dengan penuh kesadaran dari Wikipedia / terlalu malas u berpikir :p)

BAKSO BELAKANG MONUMEN Dipati Ukur favorit saya!!!

Bagi saya, jatuh cinta itu seperti makan semangkuk bakso! Awalnya saja yang enak, setelah menghabiskan setengah mangkok, saya akan merasa mual dan jijik.. tapi, saya perlu makan bakso, karena dengan begitu saya masih merasa kalau saya hidup. Yeah, menginginkan sesuatu adalah ciri2 dari jiwa2 yang hidup kan???

Cinta itu seperti bakso, kita tidak akan tahu apa yang ada di dalam bakso itu (yeah, ini versi lain dari kata2 ibu Forest Gump! kalau saja di US ada bakso, pasti dia akan bilang begini alih2 mengandaikan kehidupan dg sekotak coklat :p). Apapun yang kita temukan dalam bakso itu, mau urat kek, mau daging cincang kek, tetap saja kita akan terkejut, hanya saja, masalahnya, apakah kita akan menyukai kejutan itu. Ugh!! Saya TIDAK SUKA isi bakso saya sekarang ini!!!!

Perasaan diacuhkan bercampur dengan keinginan untuk lepas dari seseorang yang datang bersamaan membuat saya ingin meledak sekarang ini. Saya sangat menyukai pria ini, tapiiii.. ada sesuatu dari kami yang membuat hal ini tidak mungkin terjadi. Yeah,, sudahlah, mari kita makan bakso rasa masochist saja kalau begini caranya. Dan dari semua hal yang bisa saya pikirkan, saya hanya bisa mengatakan "saya merindukanmu, tapi tidak juga!!"  :'(

Jakarta-Bandung by Train

Cipularang Highway from the train window

Beautiful rice fields

peeking twilight

Here are some of my shot from my my sister's bed room window.. Gosh, how lucky she is to have such beautiful view every morning and evening (YY") HOW ENVY!!! I meant, look at the sky! They're just soooo beautiful that make me cry (T__T)

BFF

What makes best friends? Is it only all about the fun and the hang outs?? NO. Best friends is people who you can trust your life with. They are not only random people you have good times with. They must be people you can call when the most amazing things happen in your life, and when the most horrific times happen too.

I am so lucky to have best friends. Sharing with people who I can confide in with my all types of stories is just relieving. And for that, I would like to say thank you to all of my best friends. Thanks for keeping up with me and my attitudes. Yeahh, I know I'm so much to handle (-__-!)

LOVE YA'LL!!!

Good friends will always stand side by side in any kind of situations..

And you will never know where you'll find them.. Let the destiny leads your way to them.

Best friends are more than any BFF rings. It is deeper than that. But I just love the ringssss!! 
They're so cute and so affordable, yeah, that's what I call friendship.. LOL

Best friends will put smiles on your face and your heart.

Ice Creammm!!

ice creammmm

I just can't believe this. Instead of writing inspiring paragraphs, I just putting more pictures in my blog. Ugh, maybe I'm a visual person rather than wordy person.. *gosh, I don;t even know whether my words is appropriate.

Well, after all, a picture says thousands words, right?? So, why would waste words to show what I have been through if a picture will do..

MIDNIGHT TIME OUT-ed!!

When I first decided to do this blog, I planned that it would be great. I would write the deep and smart stuff just like many cool people does. But it just turned out to be the opposite. It's full with silly, shallow and narcissistic photographs craps. Gosh, what am I doing here.. What has happenned to me?

Am I loose my passion in writing things that are valuable? Or is it because of my habit in writing cheesy stuffs when I was a content writer that makes me this way? 

To be honest, firstly, with this blog, I intended to make people see this world is unfair. There are so many unfairness in this world, I used to hope to open people's eyes to see that kind of things through my blog. But look what this blog ends up? Instead of talking about gender equality or the future of the united nations, I was just busied with pictures and poses (- -")

Well, it actually is not that bad. No matter how, this is the reflection of my life. Maybe I am not that deep, but I'm happy. But I swear to GOD, I'll make my next posts more sterling. Until that time,, keep on coming back here. ^__^

Zooing

Last week I went to the zoo. Yeah, well. I obviously don't approve zoo-ing. Really, I never support the idea to put animals on the cages and people pay some money to witness their misery. It is just heart-breaking to me to think of such situation. But once again, human are just helpless. We don't know the best to do this things instead. So, what will be let it be.. Just don't lose hope in our better future. So, here are some of my captures on KEBUN BINATANG BANDUNG.

I like this shot,, the emotion is really felt. It really like one in comics..

In order to dive deeper into the water, crocodiles swallow small stones that increase their body weight.

Tigers have excellent binocular and color vision. The night vision of a tiger is 6 times better than humans. And way better than MINE!

Female and male black bears cannot tolerate being around each other except when they breed. Hmmm sounds familiar. Well, it's just another procreational story, LOL

Do you know that baby camels are born without a hump? The hump on the camel’s back is actually a lump of fat.

Elephants have a slower pulse of 27 and for a canary it is 1000!

Get up CHIMPZ! Do not be near the King's feet, okay!

Orangutans are very intelligent. They have been known to use found objects as tools. They use leaves as umbrellas to keep the rain from getting them wet. They also use leaves as cups to help them drink water.

Such an adorable pose.. LOL

Cam Whore-ing at the Rooftop ^^V

Yes, the title itself is already pretty much explaining on what has happened. So, enjoy.. Ohh, I felt like I'm a super pictures capture-er, MUWAHAHHAHA.. Thanks for being my VICTIMS, I mean models girls ^^

 

Dorks are HOTTT!!!

When people ask me about the physical type of guys I like, honestly.. my best answer is just like what I'll show you here. I like underdogs! Dorks are hot ^^

True, when we say DORKS, first things that come cross to our mind must be those nerd dudes with no social skills and not very attractive. But that is just what make them so special.

I don't know why but there's something about their clueless and innocent look. Well yeah, maybe I love the way they perceive the world that is different with others. Dorks set their own standard in valuing things and that what makes them so lovable.

#1: Paulie Bleeker.. who's not falling for this dude?? He's sweet, loyal, and fertile, LOL

#2: Adam Kira! I always love ASPIES. Aspies are mysterious and sweet <3

#3: Jonas Bjerre! He's my loveliest dork actually. I've ever seen him live. And his attitude is so soft. His motion is so gracefully between shyness and sweetness.

#4: Fregley!! Can't wait to see him grows older, stay dork-ey Fregley!! jajaja..

#5: Rajesh Koothrapalli, well yeah.. Indian guys are always HOT to me, LOL especially Raj, his awkwardness when meeting girls makes me melt.

#6: Erland Oye, his bluish eyes and musical genius is just enough for me!!

#7: Marshal Eriksen!! Nothing to say about this dude but cute, cute, and cutttteeee!! He's always good at games. He wins every games quirk-ly and oddly..

 and the list goes ON...
