well it has been one tough week for yours truly. the anaperancis reports that had to be done were putting in a lot of stress, as it took even more than three nights to finish it. it's not the content that mattered as the group was done with it days ago. it was the layout design that has been putting me in so much stress, not to mention the papers i was about to use (took me about 20 minutes just to pick the type of paper i thought was suitable). yup, /that/ was the perfectionist side of me. well to add up all the stress, everything went fine until 4 PM last Sunday. shut down my laptop, brought it back to Depok, and the minute i was trying to turn that thing on, it kept on rebooting. oooonnn and ooonnnn and ooonnn. and that was it, i was COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED. the stress level suddenly jumped high, and i really didn't know what to do.so then tommy told me to reinstall the OS, i did, well sadly enough i realized by then that obviously i lost the Corel Draw program, one program i used to make those reports looking more beautiful. and there goes those 3 endless sleepless nites... slept that night feeling uneasy, woke up early in the morning, and felt all desperate knowing that i can't even print those reports as i didn't have the printer-driver with me. so then i walked through Gang Sawo with franky, looking for a place to print those reports, got frustrated again when i realized i left one of the files needed at my room. there i went with franky to take the file, then he was being extremely nice, offering to print the reports in his place instead. in the end, the report reached p'ucok on time. however leaving me still very much stressed out. :P more things happened in the rest of the day, threw my stress level waaaaay up that it reached a point when i just had to break down and cry. called my mom in the evening to tell her about the whole matter, and she did good on calming me down. a lot more things are following that matter though, still have to face more tough days at least in the week ahead. i wonder why i seem to be a magnet of complicated matters. i'm now even thinking of writing a novel about my own life, it's been interesting hahahaha oh well, still have to smile, head's up, and off we go to face life! :) i don't think i'll ever be able to thank you enough. really, it meant the world to me. like i said, even tough girls can fall sometimes. so thanks, for being there and for /always/ being there. :) to vara, wadi, & didit, doain yah.. it's gonna be another loooooong day for me. wish me luck, and /do/ stay around. i'd always need my friends.

current state: feeling woozy..'twas another long nite. setelah rapat selesai jam 9 malem, bima yang belon pengen pulang, putur yang emang lagi pengen jalan, dan gue yang kemaren emang lagi pengen being anywhere but home akhirnya memutuskan untuk jalan ke Citos. got there around 10 PM, ordered 3 cups of coffee, the started to discuss about the MoU. dan ternyata...MABOG! gue ga pernah menyadari kalo yang namanya bikin MoU itu asli sulit banget. every freakin' single word harus jelas artinya apa, musti jelas apa aja yang mau ditulis, jangan sampe ada repetisi poin yang mo disampein, intinya untuk jabarin poin2 apa aja yang mo kita tulis akhirnya makan waktu 2 jam. begitu kelar asli teler banget... oh, terus ketemu intan tengleng. apparently dia tidak mengenali kami bertiga sebagai senior2nya, which is good daripada gue musti berbasa-basi buang2 senyum. dan citos emang 1 mall yang ga pernah mati mo ampe pagi juga. jam 12 kita pulang itu masih cukup rame, kalo ga inget2 bima mo ada tanding Dekan Cup pagi ini dan gue yang masih banyak banget kerjaan2 laennya, aga2 males pulang sebenernya. cuma ya gitu, nyampe rumah, tenaga lagi full banget, langsung mulai kerja lagi. jam 3 akhirnya mutusin tidur, ini bangun 10 menit yang lalu dan kepala woozy banget. ugh. anyway, ada yang sms gue komentar kalo posting gue sebelum ini membuat gue keliatan despo banget. really???? padahal ga maksud loh. emang kemaren entah lagi ada angin apa, anak2 lagi banyak yang nge-sms gue, which in a way reminded me how i haven't seen them for a very long time. baru berasa aja kangennya. ya udah sih, gitu doang. apa salah pembawaan tulisan gue ya ampe jadi keliatan despo? o_O Corel bikin bete. berkali-kali nge-hang pas gue lagi tengah2 nge-design buat laporan Anaperancis. terus ni pagi dah niat banget gue mo nge-print semuanya biar cepet tuntas tas tas.. ehhhhh baru sadar kalo: 1. printer gue dodol jeprut. dipake nge-print keluarnya selalu grejel-grejel, kayak yang keabisan tinta gitu. 2. printer bokap oke punya, tapi PC-nya ga punya corel draw. AAAARRGHHH!!! >_< now let's see.. what do i have fo finish for these 2 days.. 1. the freakin' laporan anaperancis 2. tugas CIS 3. tugas SIA yang nomor duanya bikin bingung karena kok ada yang abis disesuain malah jadi negatif yah? 4. MoU untuk Al Izhar egad. man, i'm surely back to the normal life. a life yang sedang sangat tidak sehat though. bah. Friday, March 25, 2005
missing..missing alot of people, especially my 2nd family. namely kyubi, yang setelah kita sms-an tadi baru sadar kalo terakhir kita ketemu ternyata been a year ago. lalu oniichan, yang terakhir ketemu udah months ago. dan dengan gantengnya pas ulang taun malah lupa gue selametin gara2 gue ga inget kalo hari itu tu tanggal 10 (maaaaaaaaaffffff....). isman & donna, yang ntah dah berapa lama ga ketemu, setaun aja sih lewat banget. andi, God knows how he's doing now. pengen ikut ke sono deh.. fuahhh.. then my girl friends. tadi sms-an ama anin, baru berasa juga kalo gue dah lama banget ga ikut girls night out mereka. anin, lany, meutia, the trio yang senantiasa tidak henti2nya bergosip sama gue hehehe then my coffee-friends, ini sih ga usah ditanya gue kangennya udah kayak paan tau. to think kalo dulu gue sempet ga maen bareng mereka, dan jadi deket banget setelah di-ditch ama my ex-bestfriend. God surely has His own way to make my life interesting. then bayu & tara, miss the old days. really happy pas ni 2 pada lagi balik ke jakarta dan nyempetin utk pegi betiga ama gue (plus fajar yasin yg nyusul kemudian sih memang..). then my dearest cousin yg sekarang lagi asik ke new york (IRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!). miss our endless no-brainer conversations *grins* *sigh* but mostly. a time alone spent about two hours having coffee alone at the Bakkoel Koffie PIM. been a while since the last time i did this (spending a time alone). quite soothing and easing my mind after spending days sleeping at 3 in the morning because of all the works i had to deal with in the past week. PIM lagi rame kayak es cendol though, itu aja yang aga2 bikin males. kalo seandainya tadi sepi, i'd definitely enjoy my time more. :P however it reminds me that my lifestyle is just so expensive. sekali ngopi di luar aja at the very least would cost me Rp 15k. lately i can have coffee in coffee-shops or cafes for like twice a week. well considering the fact that i rarely get satisfied with only one cup of coffee, it /does/ get really expensive. itu baru dari segi ngopi. belon kalo gue mulai bergabung bersama cewek2 utk kelayapan ke sono-sini. duhhhhh... berat di kocekkkk... T_T just noticed that.. isi blog gue itu sebenernya basi banget. kemungkinan tuh cuma 3: my personal rants on my constant hectic life, guys that have been going around in my life, AND my diet hahahahaha heran kok masih pada mau baca. :D Thursday, March 24, 2005

Performed by Tokyo Jihen Lyrics: Shiina Ringo Music: Shiina Ringo Single: Sounan (10/20/04) Romaji by Pocky one song that has been in my playlist, and being repeated over and over again. ga tau yah, ini lagu kedengeran fun banget ajah. previously gue dah ada mp3 lagu ini, cuma ga pernah gitu notice. pas nonton kyuuto manggung minggu lalu bawain lagu ini, baru ngeh kalo ini lagu enak banget di kuping. ^^ so.. finally back to normal life you know you're back to your normal life when it's even simply hard to breath as your schedule is getting really tight, that you're going from one meeting to another, making reports for hours only to find out that there are still a pile of more reports to make, and yet with all those stress you can still smile around and enjoy life. i'm referring that "you" to myself. *grins* so yes, as you might've noticed, the gap between one blog entry to another is getting farther because i'm EXTREMELY busy at this moment. been dealing with many final assignments which involves some real clients (ya toh, teman2??), and also some other projects that have been taking a lot of my attention. i've finally reached the right dosage of stress, belum sampe yang bikin gue pengen nangis, tapi ga terlalu santai juga. however, kualitas tidur jadi rusak banget. uda beberapa malem ini gue kesulitan tidur karena merasa masih banyak hal2 yang musti dilakukan. sekali2nya tidur, for the first one hour gue bisa bangun every 10-15 minutes simply to write down some things yg gue baru inget kalo itu harus gue lakukan on the next morning. when that hour passed, i'd woke up every hour seolah-olah badan gue menanti pagi utk kemudian kecewa karena masih berjam-jam dari pagi, jadi maksa tidur lagi. begitu jam 5 kebangun lagi, baru girang soalnya dah beneran pagi jadi gue bisa bangun dan mulai beraktivitas. jehhhh... tau banget sih ni badan butuh istirahat, cuma kayak yang ga mo kompromi sama otak, beuh. >_< yesterday was one hell of a day. dimulai jam 9 dengan presentasi di al izhar. dari yang gue sangka bakal dihadiri oh well let's say... 3 people maybe (bu eka, pak bronto, sama bu bustanil arifin), in the end yang dateng tu ada kali sekitar 15 orang. dari tiap unit dateng, dari kepengurusan dateng, guru2 dateng, anaknya bu bustanil dateng, direktur utamanya juga dateng, aga2 bikin gue grogi. anyway, the presentation went really well, scope seperti dugaan gue akhirnya meluas lagi (which reminds me kalo bener2 harus segera bikin scope definition dan tu klien gila mending buruan tanda tangan daripada ntar tiap ketemu ada lagi yang ditambah2in), tapi basically ni project finally has been approved. budget pun mereka izinkan untuk dibengkakkin karena mereka nambah2in requirements sendiri, dan gue-bima-putur pun langsung tersenyum huehehehehe anyway, the presentation ended around 11 AM, then rushed back to depok utk ketemu ama kelompok Anaperancis gue bahas laporan2 yang musti dikumpulin both ke klien sama ke pak ucok. jam 1 akhirnya gue sempetin makan, terus lanjut rapat lagi sampe jam 2. jam 2 berangkat bersama hadyan dan franky utk ketemu sama Oliver ngasih weekly report ampe jam 2.30. jam 2.30 ketemu pak ucok utk nanya several things yang kita blon paham, jam 3 berangkatlah gue bersama wadi dan feha ke citos. one hour passed being accompanied by a cup of coffee sambil bahas several things while waiting for the others to come. bima dan arief menyusul, yenni dan josef akhirnya juga datang, dan rapat dimulai akhirnya jam 5 (dan TOLONG YA TEMAN2KU SAYANG, kalo dibilang rapat jam 4, mbok ya jangan telat2 datengnyaaa... bikin gue mabog ngatur jadwal juga niii... kalian tegaaa... T_T). setelah melalui perdebatan yang cukup alot tentang proyek kecil kita yang belum punya nama itu, akhirnya jam 6 rombongan kembali ke depok. jam 7 baru nyampe kamar kost, gue dah disambut oleh ryan, sate, hadyan, dan franky untuk ngelarin laporan2 tahap 1. rapat kilat selama 15 menit utk menentukan pembagian tugas, dilanjutkan dengan ryan dan sate yang ngacir duluan karena mo belajar MetProg sementara kami bertiga mulai lah ngoprek2 dokumentasi gila itu. jam 10.30 masih belon kelar juga sementara kepala dah ngebul banget, we ended up ngaso di luar kamar sambil curhat2 (banyakan gue sih yang curhat hehehe thanks for listening ya, had..). acara ngaso selesai, kami melanjutkan ngerjain laporan jam 11 malam dan akhirnya semua pun usai jam 11.30. asli pas itu rasanya gue dah mo tewas... bener2 kalo seandainya ga nyekokin badan sama caffeine & suplemen, gue ragu badan gue masih bisa jalan terus. mandilah saya jam 12 malam, dan melanjutkan kerja hingga jam 2.30 pagi. well, the work paid off. sebagian besar laporan dah kelar, tinggal dibikinin template-nya biar rada lebih cantik, dilengkapin beberapa bagian yang kosong (fran, te, yan, buru kasi ke gua!), then it's finally done. . . . . at least for now though. untuk minggu depan sih curiga ga jauh2 beda kepadatan jadwalnya, mengingat for the sake of proyek Anaperancis, masih harus ketemu klien setiap seminggu sekali. MSI juga blon gue urusin perusahaannya berhubung ada 1 bapak itu yang senantiasa menghindar tiap dikontak dan bikin gue mo gila. PPM masih harus konfirmasi lagi ke pak thalib tentang detail tugas, terus langsung off utk mulai ngubek2 PT SANGU. 56production masih harus rapat juga utk ngebahas ke depannya precisely mo ngapain aja dan apa aja yang harus dikasi ke klien dalam sebulan ini. CD Profile masih blon sempet lagi ngontak2 perusahaan utk nyari sponsor (tommy, maaf...), sementara OSPECS-UI masih mengawang sejak ada kasus perpindahtanganan dari pak benny ke denny itu, in which gue dah pasrah. apapun yang terjadi ya terjadi lah. jetto minggu ini ga ada manggung, which is quite relieving, jadi paling weekend ini gue ama anak2 mo ngerapiin lagu kita aja sambil mulai ngulik lagu2 baru. lagu yang gue bikin juga baru kelar sampe verse sama solo, giliran bridge ama reff blon tau mo diisi ama chord apa, wuhhh... moga-mogaaaaaa kita lolos utk ke album kompilasi itu. ^^ yup, back to normal life. on the other hand.. i just realized how i really have no time for relationships now. mr. nice yang awalnya masih gue tanggepin simply for the sake of being polite belakangan mulai bikin gue aga2 lelah dengan sms2nya yang typical cowo pdkt (dah makan blon? jangan sampe sakit ya.. kamu lagi ngapain? kapan ya ketemu kamu lagi..). bukannya apa2, masalahnya kalo ngereply ga mungkin 1 sms kelar, pasti bakal berlanjut terus. nahhh.. denger2 ngetik sms juga cukup ngabisin waktu, apalagi di kasus2 kayak tadi malem pas gue lagi tengah2 bikin laporan ama anak2 sementara dia masih ngirim sms nonstop. blon lagi ngabisin pulsa, yang bikin gue ketar-ketir karena bulan ini gue banyak banget nge-sms ama nelpon pantaran kebanyakan musti ngontak anak2 urusan proyek maupun tugas. tadi malem keliatan banget kalo dia dah mulai frontal, yang simply akhirnya gue juga ikutan mulai frontal utk aga2 menolak. pertanyaan2 dia dimulai dengan bintang gue apa, dan nanya karakter orang utk bintang seperti gue tu apa. ya gue sebutin lah mulai dari ambisius, seneng hal2 yang menantang, dominan, lebih seneng ngambil role sebagai leader, etc. dia melanjutkan dengan pertanyaan2 what if ada orang laen di hidup dia "dalam satu kapal" (??????) yang mau ambil role utk mimpin itu, dan love life-nya gemana. gue bilang mana gue teong, dah mulai detailed soalnya. ya gue bilang terus terang kalo gue personally siy ga suka diatur2, pengen dibiarin jadi diri sendiri aja. kalo co-nya ga terima ya udah, tinggalin gue ajah. it's a matter of "take it or leave it". ever since, dia ga reply lagi sms gue hehehe ga tau deh apa dah nangkep pesan yang gue coba sampein ato emang dah ketiduran aja XP anyway, ya.. this whole process with mr. nice in a way akhirnya ngingetin gue kalo gue lagi ga punya waktu utk ini semua sekarang. kerjaan2 yang lagi bikin gue pretty hectic, stressed, dan at the same time extremely exicted dah cukup nyita perhatian dan gue jauh lebih cinta sama itu semua sekarang. well that plus the fact that i have no certain feelings buat dia dan because he's simply just not my type. diet's been going good though terakhir nimbang dah mencapai 51.5 kg, dari yang sebulan lalu gue masih di perkisaran 54.5 sampe 55 kg. nice! celana dah melorot semua, dg solusi either gue pake sabuk ato pinggangnya gue gulung2 kayak sekarang. makin semangat ikut kelas bodyCombat, meskipun kesulitan banget cari waktunya belakangan ini. gotta jet, have another class to go. cheers. ~still..

np: L'Arc~en~Ciel - A Silent Letterand finally, java jazz festival.... the report! not quite sih.. considering the fact that i didn't watch like every single artist performing on that day, and with the fact that i only came on the second day. but oh well, here it is, dedicated to people who didn't manage to come... KALIAN MENYESALLL.. HUAHAHAHAHAHAHA *maniacal laugh* so yes, it was one fine day, 5th march 2005. as the clouds started to..... hehehe ngelantur deh gue. jadi ceritanya gue berangkat hari itu dari rumah sekitar jam 1 siang, setelah janjian dengan beberapa teman, including the long lost mr. fabulous yang hari itu berencana dateng juga (obvious though, dia ga dateng mah ada yang aneh dengan dunia hehe). berangkat lah saya dengan adik tercinta dan temannya. berjalan-jalan riang menyusuri radio dalam diiringi rintik2 hujan ketika tiba2 dalam usaha untuk berbelok kanan, terlihat oleh ujung mata saya sebuah bus Metro Mini yang JELAAAAAS banget keliatan mo nyeruduk. well.. dengan hebatnya, supir gue yg "GUANTENG" MUAMPUS itu keukeuh lah dia mo belok kanan. problemnya nih ya: 1. itu jalurnya tu Metro Mini, hak dia mo terus sekalipun kita yang lagi mo belok. 2. it's a METRO MINI FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!! mereka punya hak 1000% utk nyeruduk dan nabrak simply for being Metro Minis! dan sesuai dugaan... terjadilah tabrakan antara metro mini dengan mobil bapak saya... yang kebeneran hari itu kami lagi mengendarai mercedes... MO NANGIIIISSSSS.... T_T well the good part is that akhirnya keluarga kami jadi punya alasan utk menendang supir satu itu keluar, 8 years full of stupidities, mistakes, and cockiness were more than enough. so well... it was a blessing in a disguise *nyengir lebar* np: L'Arc~en~Ciel - Hitomi no Jyuunin anyway, perjalanan dilanjutkan dengan taksi merk tidak jelas yang apparently ternyata memang baru diluncurkan sebulan yang lalu (gue lupa apa). sampe lah di sana sekitar jam 2-an. setelah dimaki-maki sama ibu2 polwan ee' yang ngomel cuma pantaran gue ngelewatin pintu x-ray itu beserta tas gue (harusnya tasnya ditaro' di meja instead of gue pake terus), sampailah saya di lobby JHCC yang langsung disambut dengan nyanyian oleh paragita! guess who did i see? ILHAMMMM!!! wuehehehe jadilah gue penonton yang cukup berisik. soalnya pas mereka selese nyanyiin satu lagu penonton laen tepuk tangan dg sopan, gue malah tereak "WUEEEE... ILHAAAAMMM.. CUIT CUIT CUIIIITTT..." yg sayangnya tampak cukup berkonsentrasi dengan piano dia sehingga ga denger gue tereak2 hahahaha anyway, overall i'll give a 7.5 out of 10 for paragita's performance. gue ga tau apa karena mic-nya yang aga2 dodol ato apa, tapi suaranya ga gitu kedengeran. dan ya... i don't know, maybe it's just because i expect alot more from paragita. abisnya paragita gitu lohhhh, mana di java jazz pula, jadi kan gue expect mereka would come up with a BANG BANG! instead of crick crick.. (maap, penggambaran gue lagi aga2 aneh). however utk ilham sendiri, got to give him props. ham, sumpah gue ga pernah tau elu bisa maen jazz dan SEJAGO ITU PULA! ee'!!!! kenapa anda tidak pernah ceritaaaa, tau gitu kan kalo kampus ada acara2, gue bakal ojok2in elu biar maen. so yes, ladies and gentlemen, despite the so-so performance of paragita, i'd have to say that ilham himself was playing flawlessly. dan gue ga gombal. :D sambil nunggu ilham itu lah tiba2 terjadi sesuatu yang tidak gue sangka2.... gue melihat adek gue... merokok!!! shock lah saya.. terus mikir2 bentar, inget2 umur dia, ah ya iya juga sih. smp kelas 3 emang lagi masa2nya mencoba segala seinget gue memang, gue malah pertama kali ngerokok kelas 2 smp. but then, ketika gue perhatikan lebih seksama cara dia merokok, asli bikin ngakak. rokok masuk mulut, rokok keluar mulut, dan bulllll.. keluar semua tu asep ga nyampe sedetik kemudian. another way of saying kalo itu anak emang ga narik ke dalem hehehehe oh well, kalo emang cara dia gitu sih, i do believe that it's just a phase. she'll get over this soon. np: L'Arc~en~Ciel - Anata anyhoooo, kembali ke acara tadi, setelah paragita usai, bingung lah mo ngapain. sempet kenalan dengan beberapa orang yang waktu itu ikut nonton di sebelah2 gue, terus say hello tu raymond yang masih ngutang payung ke gue sejak 2 taun yg lalu, gue pun kemudian bertemu dengan adong (yang ga berubah sama sekali deh gantengnya bapak satu itu *drools*), yenni dan rio, mas yugo, beserta ilham yang join kami tidak lama kemudian. lagi mikir2 mo ke elfa's singer, ehhh stage 2 (persis di seberang stage 1, tempat paragita manggung) lagi disiap2in. muncullah beberapa wajah2 muda yang bikin gue cukup interested utk menonton. ya gemana nggak, this is jazz we're talking about, and i was looking at some... i don't know 18-19 years old lads preparing their band? ya.. kombinasi menarik lah. begitu mereka mulai maen, ASLI KERENNNNNNNNNNNNNN... dan ada sesosok orang yang tampak cukup familiar. memegang lead gitar, maen enjoy abis, dan ternyata.. randy KI 2004! EH BUSET. SUMPAH KERENNNNNNN... apparently band mereka, jazzyphonic udah biasa manggung di Zoom - Wisma Nusantara lt. 20. which btw hari Minggu ini mereka tampaknya mo manggung jam 20.00-21.00an, kalo yang mo nonton monggo lhoo.. gue tadinya kepengen juga tapi Jetto manggung lagi di Avenue, jadi ga bisa hiks! tengah2 lagi nonton itu, gue dan yenni kemudian beranjak ke ruangan lain dan nonton Elfa Secoria Band. again, itu juga keren abis, and the room was packed! kita keluar bentar lagi utk liat jazzyphonic dan kecewa pas denger mereka bawain lagu "Just the Two of Us". band-nya sendiri keren, tapi vokalnya ga kena dan yaaaa ga gitu oke lah. masih jauhhhh lebih bagus pas mereka bawain lagu2 Chick Corea. anyway, gue pun kemudian balik ke Elfa Secoria Band. pas Elfa's Singers muncul, lebih menggila lagi lah kami2 para penonton. it was really fun, they sang some latin songs, and more fun songs. mereka ciao, masuklah Harvey Malaiholo. bagus sih.. tapi ga tau yah, agak terlalu nge-pop mana menye2 pula lagunya, jadi penonton aga2 berkurang pas ini. dan pindah ke ruangan lain buat nonton Maulana Brothers. belum sempet bener2 dengerin, gue keluar ruangan lagi untuk cari cemilan yang kemudian kecewa karena percaya gak.. Aqua gelas seucrut itu harganya GOCENG!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'.... gue in the end prefer utk beli kopi starbucks yang dari segi harga masih lebih worth it. . . . utk kemudian kecewa karena kopinya ga panas. hadohhhh... anyway, back to the Maulana Bros. room, gue sempet papasan ama Daduy '99 yang sedang mencari belahan jiwanya, mr. fabulous, hehehe dan ketemu juga dengan anggita, lira, rully, dan ika. Maulana Bros. in the end was ya... keren kali yah sebenernya, cuma it's the kind of jazz yang gue ga pernah bisa ngerti dan gue ga gitu enjoy. jadi yaaa... akhirnya bosen. berjalan keluar lah gue utk kemudian bertemu lagi dengan some more people, ada rombongan vita yang akhirnya menemani gue utk nonton Iga Mawarni. she was GREAT! suaranya husky banget, beraaaaaat abis, bikin gue inget pas pertama kali denger syaharani, setipe2 gitu juga. bawain lagu2 dari album2 dia dan several more songs yang bikin cukup enjoy, sekaligus bete karena itu lagu2 cinta semua. bleh. keluar lagi karena ngerasa aga2 penting jadi harus nyari air minum buat nenggak aspirin. ehhhh malah ngeliat counter merchandise, jadi deh gue belanja.. beli tas postman bag sama kaos. kaos nyari ukuran M/L ga ada, akhirnya maksa beli S/M yang pas dipake sih sejauh ini yaaaa ngepassssss banget, biarin deh.. jadi motivasi biar lebih kurus huekekekekek ga berapa lama akhirnya rombongan pun berkumpul (gue, rully, ika, vita, putur, anggita) dan kami memutuskan untuk nyari makanan di luar JHCC mengingat yang di dalem mampus2an mahalnya. jadilah beli bakpao di seberang JHCC dan bertemu dg mr. fabulous! sempet rada pangling gara2 dia ternyata naek 10 kg sodara! ampun deh.. perasaan dulu sampe bela2in minum susu Weight Gain aja ga naek2, ini pantaran ngerjain TA malah jadi gendut huakakakak gue ga mo ambil TA ah kalo gitu. XP the show went on dg Deviana Quartet yang AMAZING!!! sumpah bagus banget!! drummer-nya juga jago banget, istrinya si wong aksan itu yang murid IMD juga. mereka bawain beberapa lagu daerah, brazilian songs, lagu2 indonesia jadul ("Sepasang Mata Bola"), dan aransemennya kereeeeennn. asli itu salah satu tontonan yang paling bikin puas. mereka kelar, gue dan anggita mampir bentar liat Shakila yang simply the best lady-singer of the night for me! suaranya kuat banget, artikulasinya bagus, sampe2 pas pertama denger gue kira dia penyanyi negro. dan dengan sangat sedihnya gue harus segera beranjak untuk nonton Earth, Wind, & Fire Experience. penantian sejam ngantri di luar dg berjejal-jejal yang ga manusiawi ternyata worth every single minute of it as the Earth, Wind, & Fire Experience performance WAS TRULY FLAWLESS!!!!!! lagu2 hits mereka ngalir nontop, mulai dari In A Stone, September, That's The Way of the World Today (eh.. lupa gue judul benernya apa..), dan ditutup dengan encore performing Let's Groove dan Boogie Wonderland. KYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! gayanya keren banget, ga ada sedikit pun salah pitch, nadanya tepat semua, persis sama kayak EWF yang asli, huuu huu.. kalo ada mereka perform lagi di mana gitu, GUE HARUS NONTON! ya wis lah.. reportase terpaksa diakhiri dengan buruk dan begini doang soalnya gue ngejer pulang ke kost secepatnya mnengingat ini mo ujan deres. hehehe ciao!

sebenernya banyak cerita, tapi blon keluar mood nulisnya, jadi ntaran aja yah.. biar banyak sekalian ajah. sama mo komentar:menyesallah kalian semua yang ga dateng! Friday, March 04, 2005
ga inget sih pernah mention ini ato ga, tapi mungkin di luar emang kondisi tim-nya yang oke banget, maybe it's actually my long lost obsession yang bikin gue enjoy banget kerja bareng 56production. you see back 6 years ago, my ex-bestfriend (don't ask, long story) and i used to have this dream of building our own magazine. we even set some targets for the years ahead (faaaaaaaaar ahead...). as our first step, we built the first al izhar high school magazine, both the printed and the online version. it was really great that time. i worked as the editor and she was the chief-editor. it lasted for two years before every single member of the team started to get all busy, my friendship with her was tearing apart and well... that was when i knew that my dream was crushed.and now, this company profile project in a way makes me feel like i'm building that dream again. you see, 4 out of the 7 members /were/ my colleagues in the Chronicles (our high school magazine), and so glad that we still have the chemistry. then the fact that this whole project is all about printing, and making some "articles" (another way of saying the "content"), rapid meetings and intense work to finish everything before the deadlines, woooohh!! even talking about it already makes me feel SO excited! ^_^ i still have no clue though about what are we going to do if well.. let's say (bismillahirahmannirrahiim) this project would be a success. 2 options are still available: (1) the team ends here. so after this project, we'd be back to our respective lives. (2) we might just built a small company, something that bima, chicha, my mom, and me have been thinking about. the earlier option is something well... okay, i guess, considering i'd always busy with other stuffs anyway. but the latter is something... EXTREMELY CHALLENGING! haven't decided anything yet for now, still wanna see the outcome of this current project. life's back to normal (note: still have problems on the coffee dosage though.). back busy, back occupied with things, back with all planning (short term AND long term), back getting panicked at all times, back feeling tense, back with the stress....... you get my point. *grins* just realized another thing after i got an sms from my dearest cousin, there's this fine thin line between loving someone unconditionally AND simply being extremely stupid. and i wonder where do i stand. *smirk* ok then, back to work!

AYO, NDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!! *ga jelas*mata kayaknya makin item, tidur tadi malem makin kacau setelah kebanyakan mikir dan kebanyakan caffeine. dosis masih blon turun, kemaren baru berenti setelah cangkir ke-5, sinting. gue lagi menggila dengan toni braxton, maksudnya jadi maniak banget sama album "Secrets"-nya. ini dah mellow tingkat tinggi, soalnya sampe titik bisa relate hampir ke semua tracks-nya huhuhuhuhu anyway, entry hari ini pendek ajah. soalnya mo ngetek kursi buat kelas CIS bentar lagi. cuma mo bilang, to dila & meta, thanks. for everything. and you know what, you two really should meet. quite sure that you both would really click, wong karakter kita bertiga sama semua begini ko. dan mari kita bertiga bersama-sama ke new york city!! to i-guess-everyone-knows-who-you-are (*grins*), some things just won't change, i think. namely my feelings. just like you said in one of your previous entries in the old blog, "...no matter what". cheers. :) so let's move on, people! seek what the future holds!

"First thing Monday morning,I'm gonna pack my tears away Got no cause to look back I'm looking for me a better day" ----------------------------------- [Let It Flow/Toni Braxton] np: L'Arc~en~Ciel - A Silent Letter Gile.. makin addicted sama lagu ini jech (Ko AK TM). spent a while to have a chat with raden last night, a case which i can really relate to. raden akhirnya ngasi tau anggow kalo dia udah pacaran sama dewi, which langsung disambut anggow dengan banjir bandang (my way of saying "nangis berember-ember") dan raden yang langsung merasa bersalah. kebayang sih jadi anggow, pacaran udah 3 taun, putus belon ada itungan bulan, tau2 raden dah punya pacar lagi. ya iyalah stress. ga tau kenapa, dari sana terus kita malah jadi ngomongin lagu2 l'aruku yang "berkesan" banget buat kita. raden bilang pas putus ama anggow, dia dengerin "Hitomi no Jyuunin" terus nangis pas lagi mandi kayak di video clip Toni Braxton yang "Unbreak My Heart" hahahaha gue nyahut dg bilang gue ga boleh lagi sendirian di tempat sepi terus dengerin "A Silent Letter", soalnya dah pengalaman beberapa kali pasti gue bakal nangis2 bego. gawat ni l'aruku, asli dah.. efek lagu2nya cukup seru memang. gue bilang kalo aja Minggu kemaren jadi manggung bawain album Real, asli.. ga kebayang deh gue pas bawain "A Silent Letter" bakal kayak apa. then raden bilang supaya simpen tu air mata buat manggung this weekend. minggu lalu ternyata pas kita bawain lagu itu di Avenue, raden dah nangis. dia mo nemenin gue nangis lagi pas manggung minggu depan hahahahahahahahaha goblog, nangis kok ya direncanain. XD anyway, it's funny to see that you really know that you have a lot of great friends when you're in trouble. people would just come by to check whether you're okay or not, or simply letting you know that they'll be around when you need 'em. small gestures, but really.. in times like this, it means the world to me. so to all my bestfriends, especially dwi, bima, wadi, feha, vara, obeth, sate, anggia, lany, dila, and to my dearest cousin, thanks. knowing that y'guys are just being "there" is simply relieving for me. i've lost 4 pounds in the past few days, which makes me happy knowing that i've been working really hard for it in the past months and just right now when i'm not even trying for it, i've lost it. but not really happy in the other hand knowing the process. masa' kalo mo kurus harus beginih? some bad habits are coming, namely a big increase in my daily coffee-dosage. had 4 cups yesterday, 3 the day before, and 2 just this morning (and this is only 8:43), and several more cups coming for the rest of the day. then another bad habit that i've stopped for years, which however makes my dearest friend, bima, seems to be happy knowing that now he has a partner in crime heheh (hetsss jangan mikir yg ngga2 dulu, gue ga nyolong ato apa kok XP) been dealing with some troubles on sleeping as well. you see, i find it hard to get myself to sleep as a lot of thoughts keep on going in my mind even before i go to bed. then once i can get to sleep, i'd wake up every 2-3 hours, simply waiting for the morning to come. then i'd wake up around 5-5.30 and relieved knowing that it's finally another day, and i'd wake up. duh badan gue cape.. aneh rasanya ngeliat ini semua, kayak ngulang sejarah 3 taun lalu. although kondisi gue sekarang udah jauh bagusan, mungkin karena ini bukan pengalaman pertama gue ngerasa gini dan mungkin jg karena umur dah nambah. glad to know bahwa some people yang ada 3 taun lalu utk console gue, sekarang tetep masih ada di sekitar gue. syenang.. ^_^ well.. enough of my rambling on this. let's talk about other stuffs. first, utk siapapun yang terganggu dengan isi blog gue yang tampaknya sangat personal, ya.... ga usah baca aja kali lah ya. i mean, it's /my/ blog anyway, dari awal gue punya ya emang buat gue nulis apapun yg lagi gue rasain, jadi obviously memang bakal personal. okeh okeh? then, jetto batal manggung Minggu lalu, which is a blessing in disguise utk gue karena mood gue lagi ancur banget. gara2nya bokap dimas kena serangan jantung, dan berhubung bassist itu jauh lebih sulit dicari replacement-nya dibandingin guitarist ato vocalist, kita putusin batal aja. jadi manggung berikutnya masih tanggal 6 Maret ini, dan setelah itu beristirahat panjang dulu sampe april. like i've said before, kangen juga bisa spend weekends di rumah. then persiapan utk my grandma's 80th birthday dah makin seru. gue kebagian ngelatih generasi ketiga utk nyanyi2, dan bakal nyanyi jg di band-nya generasi ketiga. terus juga kebagian utk bikin film buat diputer pas ulang taunnya itu. and trust me, ini dah mulai mabog. blon lagi masalah gaun. ternyata kita semua dapet kain yang seragam, tapi gaunnya mo kayak apa jadi masalah masing2. ME. in a GOWN. imagine that. terakhir pake dress tu pas prom, and it's been a real while. duhhh mo jahit di mana pula kalo baju2 model begini. what else... ah yes, urusan company profile AIPL masih jalan terus. gue cukup semangat utk yang ini. mungkin juga karena gue nyaman banget di tim yang ini, dan semuanya punya kinerja yang bagus. di luar itu, so far it's been going good. tinggal bawel2in pihak sana supaya utk teken MoU aja neh. ¬¬ kuliah dah mulai bikin mabog. tugas2 mulai banjir. SIA belon kelar tugas 1, ehhh tugas 2 udah di-launch. CIS juga, terus PLBO dah mulai mikirin proyek, tambah lagi DAA yang rutin bikin waswas. pak didit sih ngajarnya enak banget, ga bosen malah. cuma tense-nya itu lhoooo... takut banget kalo ampe ditunjuk. hiks. semakin sibuk setiap saat, which is great cause it helps to get my mind off things. berasa akhirnya mulai "hidup" lagi pas gue liat loads of things i have to do for the next couple of weeks, or maybe months. work /is/ life, at least in my terms. *winks* anyhooo... to fafa, beb (plus ferry), dils, sya, miss you people SO MUCH! coffee breaks (and cigarettes, especially to fafa) are extremely needed at this moment. kapan kalian semua kembali ke jakartaaaa.... T_T lastly, as we all have heard, telah berpulang Haryanto, a good friend to all of us. semoga amalnya diterima di sisi YME dan diampuni semua kesalahan2nya. may his soul rest in peace, dan semoga semua keluarga, pacar, dan teman2 yg ditinggalkan bisa tabah dan kuat hati. song of the day: Count on Me Whitney Houston & Cece Winans Count on me through thick and thin A friendship that will never end When you are weak, I will be strong Helping you to carry on Call on me, I will be there Don't be afraid Please believe me when I say Count on... I can see it's hurting you I can feel your pain It's hard to see the sunshine through the rain I know sometimes it seems as if it’s never gonna end But you'll get through it Just don't give in cause you can... * Count on me through thick and thin A friendship that will never end When you are weak I will be strong Helping you to carry on Call on me I will be there Don't be afraid Please believe me when I say (Please believe me when I say) Count on.... (You can count on me, oh yes you can, ahhh) Ohhh I know sometimes it seems as if We're standing all alone But we'll get through it Cause love won't let us fall repeat * There's a place inside of all of us Where our faith in love begins You should reach to find the truth in love The answers there within, ohhhh I know that life can make you feel It's much harder than it really is But we'll get through it (we’ll get through it) Just (just) don't (don’t) give in... |
