diet&gym diary part1

2008-02-07T21:28:00.000-08:00

yknow how i've always wanted to be thin and eat healthily, yet it hasnt been achieved for so long since robbie williams was still a member of take that.
i'd always lose my motivation.
but just recently, d company i worked in has been willing to help giving me a push, by presenting a med check up result (d result was not good).
that piece of paper says 'exercise!!!' and there's another paper saying what foods to avoid.
geezzz

ok, so i'm 158cm tall and 50kg in weight.
d instructor at d gym claimed i need to get my butt to d gym at least 3x/wk (that's a LOT) and lose weight around 2kg (eeeekkkk!!! nobody has EVER told me to lose weight straight to ma face!).
i really am sorry for taking that blood test.
ohh... and my fat content is 25%, which is still ok (good grief).
my cholesterol is above avg soooo i need to cut down on fried foods (not possible) and crab meat ( no way)

eniweiiiii, i'm gonna put it in ma blog so that i wud either be embarassed or be motivated=ppp

DIET
this is my weakness. i cant diet. period.
and what's ironic is that my main squeeze needs to GAIN weight, so when he's eating, i'm eating.(sigh)
but when he's not eating, i forced him to. =)))
good thing i dont like rice, so i dont eat rice most of d days.
also been eating fruits n yoghurts for breakfast , most of the times.
mmm what else?
ok, today, 8th Feb, i ate apple n yoghurt for breakfast.
then i had gado2 for lunch PLUS a couple of gorengan (just a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit) and krupuk (my biggest weakness)

FITNESS
i did pilates this morning. already went 3x to d gym this week.
that's quite good, eh?

me plannin to seek help from an acupunture doc. maybe it'll stop myself from having second servings or pigging out all over =ppp

1st week is this week.
result : aching body, still 50kg

d year 2008 - YTD

2008-02-07T20:49:00.000-08:00

2008....
it's gonna be a year to be remembered, i tell ya.
well, for me, at least.
nooo, not bcoz britney got herself into rehab again (will people remember her in the future?).
and definitely not bcoz heath ledger was found dead, butt naked (too bad he's gone, tho)

the opening of the year was quite exciting!
1)went to prambors bdg for an on air promo of 'Dateless' (great experience!!)
2)got to meet d editor of jkt post (soooo exciting)
3)will finally perform the oh-so-difficult-yet-beautiful condong dance this weekend

other things...emmm..still a secret, hohoho.
one thing that is no secret is that my cholesterol level is above average! eek!!
d med check up result kinda gimme a slap in d face.
ok, i know since a long time ago that i need to lose some excess baggage from my bulging tummy.
but cholesterol?? what is THAT?
now i have to be VERY SERIOUS in doing my food combining thing ( why do i feel so hungry all of a sudden?)
and EXTRA MORE SERIOUS in going to d gym (ugh... feelin tired already!)

other thing that i need to get serious on is my WORK.
i need to get myself together! everyday is a battle and i feel like GI Jane trying to rescue myself from these bombing works.

my resolution for this year is to see things from a positive light.
sooo... i am trying to do that. just be calm, or have a go-to-hell attitude.

another thing that i'm excited about is my beau (or boo, as Jay Z wud have said it)
he gives me some kind of peace and calmness- and a reason to go home early +)

ohhhh it's raining heavily rite now...
gosh, i hope there wont be another flood going on.
hate to be stucked in traffic jam bcoz of it.

btw
i'm thinking of writing something like 'a girl on a budget' right here in ma blog.
since i luuurve to get cheap but chic stuffs, why not share it to ya all??
we can all have a really great look with less cash!! woohoo!
oh, and maybe i'll put some writings about my trip to beijing.
cant upload photos from d office tho (sucks)

cheers!!

Dateless - my new book!!!

2007-12-10T19:31:00.000-08:00

finally.... the time has come...

and that time is N.O.W

my third book has been printed and is ready to be distributed and displayed on shelves!!!!

it's coming to all gunung agung book stores in jabotabek + jabar, and to all indo maret all over jabotabek

(so no excuse if u r too lazy 2 go 2 d mall. just go 2 ur nearest indomaret!!!!)

it will reach gramedia as well but in march 08 (too long. just go to gn agung/indo maret)

ya Allah thank you so much for i've been waiting for this moment for so long! hopefully my Jombless readers would simply LOVE it, as this book is another joyful adventure of my wonderful character : AMEL

if you have read Jombless, u know how exciting, fun and hillarious Amel was when she was desperately looking for a job. Now, in Dateless, an even more exciting, fun and hillarious side of Amel when she's terribly desperate looking for a boyfriend through a series of incredibly funny, annoying and unforgettable dates!

and for you who have not read Jombless, no worries! u can also read Dateless with ease as it is a different story from Jombless (but it wud be great if u read all Amel's delightful attempt to achieve her goals in life =))

so what are u waiting for?

go get it and tell me what you think about this book to my email yulia064@yahoo.com

looking forward to hear you all!

cheers

yuls

ps: i will inform when i have a book promo so every1 can come!!!

cinta vs cocok

2007-11-06T02:03:00.000-08:00

i seriously think i should write this down
why?
bcoz i feel obligated to do so (taelaa)
i told tasha about this, and she immediately recognise where she's at

i read an email from cosmo mailing list, and it's quite good to read.
ok, i lied.
it's a very good read, coz it gave me some kind of an enlightening =)) and an understanding of what i've been trying to understand (ribet amat ya nulisnya..)

it was called "cinta vs cocok"
honestly, i dont remember the details, and i dunno why, somehow i deleted the email !!
the point is...
mmmm...
the metaphor for this, is...
a house...or home.

example :
i love spacious homes, with large windows spreading from side to side, along with olympic size swimming pool plus a beautiful big garden with tulips from here to there.
but, i dont FIT in this kind of homes. WHY?
bcoz, i dont like to take care of tulips (gardening is not my thing), i just like looking at them. and i dont like cleaning my own drawer, let alone a big house!
if, somehow, i get this dream home, i may not take care of it well, unless i put xxxtra effort to hire a gardener, maid, etc... these xxxtra helpers may drag me down ( high cost, labor issue, etc).
in the end, i may be unhappy bcoz of the many things to do to maintain this big house. and, i would not like that house as much as i did in the first place, coz i have a LOT to think of just to take care of it.

for a lazy girl like me, the best pick would probably be a small yet stylish home, or an apartment. it's not big, yet it's comfy. i may not have a tulip garden to go with it, but i would feel happy to live there as it is less hassle. it's a place i look forward to come home to, after a long day of workin.

.....do u get my point? (nooooo...)

the point isssss....
sometimes what we love, isnt exactly the right thing for us.
i looove cold drinks, but they're not good for my asthma
i looooove bingeing on chips, but they're not good for my diet
now u get what i mean?

the story made sense to me
one of the mistakes that i always did was thinking,'things will work out'
n d brutal fact is, it never did
it got worse and it's tiring

no, i'm not saying that you should get what fits you rather than get what you love.
hell, noooo....
i'm saying that, you have to be realistic, in some ways.
sometimes we are blinded by things we want to get
posh cars, big houses, fancy things...
we should always ask ourselves:
do I really need that?
can I maintain that?
do these things make me happy in the long run?
if mostly NO, then go get yourself a nice small car and a nice small house =))

memories...

2007-11-01T03:29:00.000-07:00

well well...apparently i have a lot to write today =)

somehow, when i was peeling my almost expired mangga in the pantry, i remembered how my mom used to do that when i was little. my siblings and I usually waited for the 'pelok' (i dont know the bahasa word for it, let alone the english!) coz we thought it has the most chunk of sweetness compare to the ones cut in pieces.

then..somehow some old memories came to my mind.

my first perfume....it was electric youth by debbie gibson! geez.. it was a gift from my sis. i remember saying 'this is not as expensive as the bday gift i gave u!!!' which was very rude, hahaa.. n my sis said,'klo liat kado jgn dr harganyaaaa - which means: dont judge a book by its cover, you ungrateful b*t*h!'

my first cd...it was kylie minogue's! OMG! why d hell did i get that? guess i was a bit locco hearin d locomotion =ppp and yknw what, the first live concert i saw was kylie minogue's!!! good grief~~ well, it was a few years later after i got my first cd. so when i went to the live performance, she was already singin 'better the devil you know'. so it wasnt that crappy... i think =)) now i regret why i didnt go to stevie wonders' concert, it was supposed to be my first encounter with an int'l star!!! but at 8, i guess staying home n watchin snoopy comes home was the best bet (i cant believe i let the ticket went off to my sis' friend!).

another thing that i regret was not going to Oz with my parents in 95. why? bcoz at that time, i thot participating in the school's music fest was the best thing ever! in which of course, i later found out, it wasnt beneficial for me, at all. geeeeeeeeeeezzz... now i dont know when i'd visit the koalas unless i really have extra $$$ just to hop in to the plane.

i remember ...when NKOTB was the hype and i had a HUGE crush on Jordan Knight!! i thot i was going to marry this guy, for sure! i didnt know how, but i was certain! i spent my savings just to get my hands on his pics on the mags, books, bags, cd, laser discs (yeaaa... that huge version of DVD =pp), e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. it was the first and the last celeb that got me obsessed. nowadays, i'm smart enough to spend my $$ on something more valuable... like clothings and shoes =pp

i remember ...my mom used to buy me these expensive children clothes, branded Bambino. the price was about HK$2000 for three items! (currently 1 HK$ = Rp1120) that was the most posh clothes i ever had... up till now. i dont know why my mom bought it. but hey, at least i can say i used to have that kind of clothes =)))

i also remember... my mom used to have this fur coat. the color was grey. i remember thinking it was an odd coat, coz it looked huge and heavy but felt soft and comfy. not really sure whether it's genuine or faux fur. not really sure where it is now! hey, maybe she still keeps it? for old time sake? maybe i can wear it... in the name of fashion.

i remember... when i was little, my dad used to take me to his office. my favorite was his office in HK. it was a spacious room, had a set of sofa, had wide windows from side to side, looking over the HK starferry harbour, and you could see boats, ferries, crossing over from HK to Kowloon. it was a great view. i dont know why my dad took me to his office quite often. and i dont know why at that time i was never bored hanging around in an office (unlike now, hohoho)

another memory about my dad.. when i was already in bandung, i sent him a bday card, with a comic that i drew on it. turned out, my dad liked it and my mom told me he brought it to the office and showed it to everyone =) which reminds me... good thing i went to UNPAD coz the tuition fee was cheap, hence my dad was able to stay home and enjoy his retirement (no need to work for xtra $$).

oh well, it's already 6.30 now. i better go home and sleep!!! =)

what's up with all those songs u hear on the radio ?

it's a wonder how they can relate to your current situation.. or maybe it's just me who keeps finding similarities out of it?

i bet everyone has his/her moment when you turn on the radio and then a song pops out, and somehow at that time, you can hear so clearly what the lyrics are... and you think ,"wait a second! this song speaks for me!!! i'm sooo feeling it rite now!!!" and you wonder how does the deejay know how you are now?

for me, it wasnt just a song... there were many! every song that came out was somehow related to me!! hebat nih si JakFM, hohoho...ge-er..

tp bener deh, some songs that i usually dont like, suddenly caught my attention as the lyrics were somehow describing what i'm going through recently...

i think thursday mornings in JakFM are packed with lovey dovey songs...but this morning is slightly different than the previous ones...coz as i said earlier, somehow they're playing a drama of my life with those songs! Geeezz..

apart from a quiz about beyonce's song- for which i thot the prize was a free entry to her concert and turned out it wasnt!!! - others played this morning were mostly sad songs. yknow, even beyonce's dejavu sounded sad all of a sudden (yes i remember the video with her dancin like simba in the wild, but still..)..or maybe i was sad cos i didnt get that freakin buy 1 get 1 beyonce live in concert ( ooohhh... why is it soooo da*n expensive???)

anyways, some people have their own fave love songs. i remember my sis lovin daniel beddingfield's 'if you're not the one' like crazy. at that time, d song was a serious hit. i have to say it got boring after hearing it 3 times every hour. and just when i was thinking about it, that song came out this morning!!! zzzzzzzzzz.... that radio can read my mind, i tell ya! only this time, i feel (again) the song was played for me... (ge er mode ON) and i remember my wawa sayin the lyrics were so beautiful. when she said that, i was like "yeah rite (eyes rolling)". but after a few years, this morning to be exact, i realised that... she's rite (kmane ajeeee...).

i have my own fave love songs (i prefer listening to RnB, but i also have that gimme-ma-kleenex moment). i think i have a lot. there's this song from brian mcknight, one last cry. everytime i hear it, i feel sad. not really bcoz of the lyrics, but bcoz of brian's voice...so heartbreaking!ckckckk.... but my most fave is a song from carpenters (yeaaa...it's so ancient!!).. i dunno the title,it goes something like " why do birds.. suddenly appear.. everytime u r near.." is it 'close to u'? ya pokoknya itu lah... there are some newer versions, but i only like the carpenters' one. it's in the voice, really... well the melody is also great, kind of like a song you would hear while riding a bicycle by a lake in the park on a bright summer day with flowers around. it's a very simple song, yet it's so perfect...

hoaaahhhmm.... i feel sleepy... maybe it's bcoz of hearing those love songs...Zzzz

2007-09-17T02:46:00.000-07:00

i started this week with a sore throat
-cough-

ok, so my mom has a point when she said
'anything cold/refrigerated is your enemeeeeeehhhh....'
and of corz being a normal daughter that i am, i didnt listen to her as always
but i have to admit the effect is somewhat suffering now
yesss i cud hear my mom sayin 'i told u soooo....'
with a glee on her face, chasing me with a handful of vick's vapourub that smells like burnt mentol
(no, i dont like mentol)

and when i got back to my heavenly limited-space-rented room
i freely munched on a cold apple
thinking 'ha ha, i can eat whatever maaaaahhh'
then finding myself feelin a bit sore in the wee morning
and it went worse after sunlight
ahhhh what a perrrfect way to start a Monday!

so here i am
feelin a bit weak and desperately longing for water to run through my throat
lookin at the clock, ticking... hoping it wud magically be maghrib time in an instant
and realise it's still one hour away...
what shud i do???

i'm sorry, what's that? work, u say?
hell, no!
work does not get my mind off my painful tickling on my throat here
maybe i shud try something else...like...sleeping?
hmmm
sounds interesting...

2007-09-12T20:20:00.000-07:00

a few days ago, i had an interesting and fun chat with one of my dear colleague at d off...
she's a very straight forward kind of person and truly honest.
i admire her for that, as not many ppl are like that
oh, and she's also very funny =)

some memorable quotable quotes from her:

"when you're over 30, you dont really want to get married"

"there are only 2 types of guys in this world. gay and bastard"

"why would you settle for less, when you have been living a good life on your own?"

"why would you sincerely be willing to share the electricity bills with your spouse when you usually just think about gucci bags?"

"hey, cowo! ehh...miskin??? ehhh cowok kaya! gay??? "

i truly find her very sarcastically hillarious... she's amazingly open about what she wants =)
well, at least she knows what she wants
unlike some people...
people like me, for instance
hell, i cant even think of a type of guy that i like
yes of course justin timberlake is somewhat close to perfection
but cmon, he doesnt live nearby
so let's be realistic
(unless if he lives around d neighbourhood....oh, stop it!)

september ceriaaa...

2007-09-02T18:52:00.000-07:00

noooo, i'm not gonna write vina p's lyric
(it's too 80s for me)
d title seems perfect for ma blog, so be it

sept 1, 2007

i dyed my hair black. let me rephrase that.
i dyed my hair d same color as that gothic girl who marry frankenstein in the adam's family.
so it's xxxxtra b.l.a.c.k
i thot i looked a bit odd, as it's been a while since i had a black hair n i didnt know my skin is so pale.
i look dead. not dead gorgeous. just dead.
but woohooo, halloween is next month so let's just say i'm prepared for it.
and lookin d part of a horror movie - i cud pass as a corpse bride-, i spent my wknd watchin...
supernatural ! (how appropriate)
yes yes, the two brothers, killing demons
it's quite an interesting story... i was totally glued to the tube..
well of course lookin at d cute boys didnt hurt either

sept 2, 2007

it's been almost a year since i quit bali dancing class to pursue what i thot was a career path
(it's actually just a path to stressful bliss)
so today is d day when i start to do it again
feelin a bit lazy coz i have 2 get up early on a sunday, somehow i have this spirit that drives me to dance
(a barong spirit? cud be. unleash d dancer in u!)
aahhhh.....i realised i missed it so much...
the beauty of an artistic gesture...the beauty of the pain...
realising i'm too heavy to be a dancer after sweatin like a pig...
but i luv it!
i luv the dance..it's called 'condong'
a dance that i have to master before doing 'legong'
it's soooooooooo beautiful!!! i luv it...even tho it's painful like hell and i cud hear my bones n muscles crying for help, sending out an S.O.S
but it's a sacrifice i'm willing to take!!!
noone can ever be too old to learn!!! crack!(whoops...is that my ankle?)

after sunset....
i moved out from my perfectly spacious home to a small room near d office
only brought d essentials (clothings, bags, shoes)
moving in was really quick n a no-sweat activity
(maybe it's bcoz of the A.C)
but really, it only took me 10 min to put things together and voila!
it's done!
thinking i'd be on my own from this day forward,
it felt good....to a certain extent

this morning
i felt liberated...from going to d office at 6am, to...
sleepin till 7..
by 7 i was still in bed. YES! IN B.E.D
i almost cried out of joy
then as i was humming happily on my way to take a shower...
what shower?
there's NO shower!
a slight of panic coming in to me...
what shud i do? what shud i do?
shud i just go to the office gym n get a heavenly shower there?
what? what?

"mbak...mau mandi ya??? ambil air di ember itu yaa"
a voice of help, must be coming from above
i saw d perfect pair of gayung n ember... not really sure when was d last time i use gayung to bathe
noooo i aint spoilt
i can do this
so it's ok, i aint complaining...yet

here comes d bride....!!!

2007-08-26T16:37:00.000-07:00

when ure single and someone asks u to accompany her/him to a wedding exhibition,
u should be ready... or be aware!

be ready coz it may turned out to be a wedding talkshow for limited guests- meaning : all of them are the blushing brides to be(!)
be aware coz the M.C may come to you and ask the ever so terrifying question of them all," so when is the date?" Eeeeeekkkkkk!!!!

feelin absolutely like an alien among the happily lookin brides to be,
i tried to distract myself from the wedding bells atmosphere by trying on some lancome make up that were set on each table for, what else, a beauty class (!) for a girl that longs to be the most beautiful bride ever coming straight out from a fairy tale book (cinderella syndrom, if i might add)
but before i could say ,'Oohhh..lipgloss!' the talkshow started and the ever so wicked M.C just had to say," come come ladieeeessss... i'm sure you're all nervous for the BIG day!"
big day my ass you party pooper
"but have no fear! we're here to help!"
yes, help me get d hell outta here in a snap!
...but first, do these make ups come for free?

well, i dare not, i repeat, dare not touch those alluring make ups no more
i was too stressed to figure out which girl the M.C would approach next
with these room full of 'i'm gettin maaaaaaaaaarrriiiieeeedddd' face-lookin girls
being relaxed was an absolute no-no
n even tho my sis tried 2 assure me that ' he will not come 2 u!'
i was not convinced at all
not at all, i tell ya!
he's a devil in disguise, that M.C!

i could let ma hair down a bit when the bridal fashion show started
n when most girls were so excited lookin at the glamorous wedding gown and probably thinking they might have to go to the gym 5x/day to fit in it,
all i could think of was ,"how can i get those bagels without people noticing?"
somehow the show was just a short one and we're back in talkshow misery
-just my luck-
still feelin a crave for a snack, i hoped and hoped that a knight in shining armor wud come n save me...
n bring me some crisp waffles with maple syrup on top while he's at it

thankfully my sis decided to leave early - much early!
i almost jumped out of my perfectly bowed chair and ran to the exit
but of course i did not...
i'm very proud of myself
especially when i didnt even try to grab a piece of bagel on d way out
now that's a miracle

it's hard 4 me 2 let u go

2007-08-23T19:22:00.000-07:00

ok

it's official now

my tooth is dying.

it's dyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinggg!!!!!! huaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...

i just cant accept that! especially when i went to another dentist to get somewhat support for my dear tooth, she was so astonished by the goodbye-world-hello-tooth-heaven look of my ever so suffering little piece of tooth hanging desperately, that she just smiled and said 'there's nothing i can do dear...'

wha... i was hurt! i mean, cant you do something with your magical dentist tools here???
arent u supposed to nurture my sick tooth and give it a therapy????good grief!!!
and to think i will be one tooth less... that's scarrier than scary spice havin a child with eddie murphy and not getting the child support that she deserves!!! (eddie's been playin a real life donkey nowadays...eeeekkk)

back to my aching tooth..
so now i just have to make a decision on whether i should go to the dentist today or not...
i really dont want to let this tooth go!!!
i really dont!!!
the pain is quite intriguing, i have to say.
but i really dont wanna be apart with it.....i realised i love it sooooooooooo much!!!
hikshiks
you know the sayin "you dont know what ya got till ya lose it"
hah! that's so freakin true!
now i just cant help thinkin why i drink 5 cups of coffee a day.
it's been eating up my calcium i bet! geeezzzz
i dunno if it helps but i'm stockin up on calcium by overeating yoghurt since yesterday

d fact is, i'm gonna lose this tooth sooner or later
but i aint gonna give it up without a fight! hosh hosh
oh toothie....i'm gonna miz uuuu..
in fact, i miz u alreadyyy...huhuhu

2007-08-19T23:06:00.000-07:00

i have to thank my cousin for pointing out a couple of things last week

thanks to my depressed and tortured soul (kok kaya nama band ya?), last wk i decided to call my psychologist cousin, seeking professional (and free, hohoho) advise!

so i called her...
'been goin bananas latelyyyyy...pls help???'
in which she replied
'get ur butt over here n we'll sort things out'

so i went..

bandung is already a great place to be in
so just being there gives me a little lift
especially when you can lulur+steam for 45k! well, that's another story...

eniweeeeeeeeeeeeeii
i went to my cousin
thinking maybe she cud prescribe me somekind of valium or whatever
but then decided it's not a smart choice (even tho it's tempting..)
i'd rather put the $$ in a good use
such as getting some diet pills
so i just talked to her
telling her this n that
bla bla bla
she listened....asked me questions...
then...voila! she knew exactly what's been bothering me!
'wow...this is more magical than harry potter marrying genie!'i thot
(bummer for those who havent read the last book =))

then
she gave me a 'bonus' advise....in finding that 'someone'
i thot
'oh great! just gimme a free consultation or a free massage at the spa , but pleaaseeee....not this!!!'
but thinking she did this coz she cares about me
as she worries how i dont really give a damn about it
she lighted up a cigarette and said,
'if u still can find someone, then do it.'
and i said
'wellll..i dun really think about thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat'
in which she commented
'i was like that, too. but got carried away. i dont feel lonely, never ever.'
so i just kept quiet
then she added
'you just need someone to call your own. i didnt realise that until recently.'

it didnt really hit me, as i was thinking
'whaaa...but u r a certified n professional psychologist who analyses insane and not so insane people, but u cudnt figure out why we need someone until recently???come oooooon'
but then i reeeeeeeeeeeaaaally thought about it
thinking
'why d heck am i still single?'

of corz i remember my other happily single friends
flaunting the 'no boy no cry' attitude

but then again...
it doesnt solve anything
or does it?

hellloooooooooooooooooooowwwwwww

do you ever get the feeling when everything is just wrong wrong wrong????

so

kabar-kabari dunks!
i'd love to go there!
akhir taun yuuuuu.... what do u sayyyyyyy??? Ayyyyeee!!!!

a new way of life =)

2007-07-11T01:01:00.000-07:00

i'm trying to take good care of my health seriously now...
and i think i may have found the right way to do it...

south beach diet
been doing it for 3 days now..and this is not so hard to do!
i can eat chicken, meat, cheese, nuts, tofus...3 times a day! isnt it great???
ohhh...the catch is, i'm not allowed to eat any carbs, sugar and fruits for 2 straight weeks.
i rarely eat rice, so it's really not a big deal. (BUT i do love chips, potatos,etc... so it's kinda sad)
what bothers me at the beginning is the fact that fruits are not allowed. i usually depend on apples to make myself full. but surprisingly, i dont feel the urge to binge these past 3 days.(hopefully this will continue for long..)
i think sugar, salt and carbs were the main reason of making me craving for food. with this diet, i dont feel weak, i dont feel hungry, i dont crave....amazing! no need to count calories, set portions, whatever! just follow the mantra : no carbs, no sugar, no fruits for 2 wks! havent seen the result yet (hv i lost any weight? dunno! but i feel great already! isnt that the most important thing?) will update u on that!

Yoga - pilates
been doing it since early last week at the office' gym. i also have a yoga video! it's not as easy as it seems. i can really feel the benefit already =) hopefully i can do this forever! it calms my mind.

Food combining
i'm planning to do this after my south beach diet plan. food combining is really not about dieting, it's about taking care of your body's digestion system and i think it makes sense that some food are not to be combined with some other. i used to try this a while ago and my body felt good, skin looks brighter.

udah bbrp bulan ini gw kerja dari pagi (6.30an) sampe malem (paling cepet jam 8 lah)
capek..itu pasti!!
bulan agustus kmrn gw sempat masuk RS cuma gara2 : stress!!!
tp waktu di RS gw lebih stress, krn ga bisa ngapa2in..pingin buru2 keluaarrrrrrr
apalagi dokternya ga ada yg keren, jd tambah males deh gw, hihihihi
pdhl awalnya si suster sempat gosip klo dokter gw ganteng,
malah pake maksa2 gw nyisir rambut segala!
"aduh sus, saya sih ga peduliiii. pokoknya saya mau pulaaaaaaaaaaanggggg...!!!"
tp si suster keukeuh,"yakin nih mbak? ntar nyesel looooo.." trus lsg ngeloyor pergi.
gw sebel bgt, tp mikir juga, wah klo emang beneran keren ni dokter kan lumayan
ada hikmahnya gw masuk RS !
but how can u look pretty in a hospital pyjamas?
luckily, the doc aint hot, so no regrets! hahaha
dan pas akhirnya gw boleh pulang, bsoknya gw udah ke kantor lagi.
people thought i was crazy
but... i am!!! where have they been????

very very healthy, in fact
she used to be sooo quiet

u know my mom's gonna kick u out if ure naughty!!!
but i'm sooo proud of u
coz ure getting smarter n smarter everyday!
like when u open our garage door to get in
n when u got lost, u waited for my parents to pass by
n when u paired sandals in the garden
amazing!

apuuunnngggg

workin' zombie

2006-02-02T19:05:00.000-08:00

so this is what it's like working in a well-known big company..
eventually, u're becoming a zombie!

blkgan ini gw pulangnya lbh malem dr biasa
sekitar jam 10 kurang lah
kerjaan gw bener2 gila
dan pd akhirnya gw bener2 cuma bisa ngerjain
mau panik juga udah ga ada hasilnya
paling2 curhat ama temen lah satu2nya pelipur lara
walaopun kdg2 omongan mereka agak ga jelas juga
sbtlnya bukannya gw budek, tp krn sambil curhat,
gw sambil kerja juga
tp mungkin 80% kerja, sisanya teriak panik n dengerin nasihat orang

udah bbrp hari ini juga gw selalu nelpon temen2 kantor gw
mencari teman senasib n spjuangan
tnyata ada temen gw yg emang udah rutin plg midnite
jd klo gw bilang 'gw bisa gilaaaaaa....'
mereka cuma komen,'iya...iya...' dg santainya
udah bukan sesuatu yg baru lagi
welcome to this company!
apalagi klo lo judulnya cuma asisten, bukan d big boss
ya udah aja, kerja rodi pun diberlakukan ke semua khalayak
klo kt temen gw si andre,' don't worry yul. u'll get to the point where u just don't care anymore!'

n semua org yg gw tanya pasti inti jawabannya tuh sama
klo mereka kerja tuh udah ky zombie aja
udah ga mikir, ga merasa, yg penting dikerjain aja
krn emang udah ga ada waktu buat mikir n merasa stress
jd bener2 just do it n see what happens

mimpi gw juga udah gak ada indah2nya
gmn mau indah, lha ini mimpiin kerjaan!
duh! bener2 work has taken over my whole freakin' life!

tp keadaan terburuk pun masih ada yg cukup menyenangkan
yaitu d fact that many people actually care about me
mulai dr yg menasehati gw pjg lebar, nelponin nyuruh pulang, sms humor2 garing,
dateng ke meja gw to listen to my probs n try giving solutions, yg ngasih support,
sampe dianter pulang malem2
really really appreciate all of these people
pagi ini, gw lbh appreciate lg sm bos gw yg kaget pas tau gw plg mlm
si bpk ini lsg ngomong heart to heart spy gw ga boleh diem aja
klo kerjaan byk, mesti bilang ama dia spy distop
just to see my boss concern of his sub ordinat is enough to
make me feel grateful n respected

ohhhh..pengen cepet2 bsok..
ke bdg, ktmu temen2 kuliah gw..
walopun cuma sehari, tp lmyn lah

c u 2morrow guys!

the bird that sings

2006-01-30T15:47:00.000-08:00

Every person has a road that he/she chooses
Mine is a straight and narrow one
I don’t look right nor left
My mind is set to go a one way street

One day as I’m walking my way to the future
A bird comes flying towards me
At first , I don’t really bother
But the bird flies around me
So I really have to stop and notice the strange creature
Its face is kind and gentle
The bird seems to be quite unsure
It smiles at me and then flies away

A few days later , the bird comes back
This time, it flies around my head a couple of times
And then it starts to sing!
It sings one of the most beautiful songs in the universe
It is a song that everyone would like to hear
It is a song that I have been avoiding, yet longing, to hear

The bird starts to get on my nerves
I close my eyes and cover my ears
Trying to concentrate on my feet, walking fast, thinking..
“ignore it! Ignore it!’
but I can’t
the bird won’t stop singing and follows me around
so I stop n open my eyes and my ears
the bird smiles happily and sits on a tree
there, it starts to sing again

Now I can hear the song very clearly
It is full of promises, hopes and dreams
Listening to it makes me half joyful and half heart broken
It reminds me of some good and some bad memories
A part of me wants to stop the bird from singing
But a part of me misses hearing that song
Then, I build up a courage to speak up,
‘Please stop singing.’
The bird looks at me and I look away
‘I want you to hear me sing.’it says.
I still can’t look at the bird, but I have to make sure it won’t sing another tune.
‘Just stop it. I’ve heard it before.’
‘but this one is different.’
‘Oh, please! They’re all the same!’
‘No! each bird has a different song.’
‘Every bird says that! So what’s the difference?’
‘Not every bird is telling you the truth.’

Its statement pauses me.
I look at the bird, trying to figure whether it is lying or not.
It smiles at me, even winks at me
‘do you think I’m lying , my dear girl?’
I hesitate for a moment before answering,’Probably!’
‘why do you think that?’
‘because most birds like you, lie about everything. Everything that you sing is usually just a bunch of lies.’
‘how many songs have you heard?’
‘just too many.’
‘do you still remember them?’
‘I don’t want to. But when you sing it, I remember.’
‘So when I sing, you don’t actually hear me sing. You’re actually hearing songs that other birds used to sing for you. Is that correct, my dear girl?’
I never thought of it that way!
Hmmm..maybe this bird has a point
Pretty smart for a bird!
‘well, maybe you are right. So what?’
‘Are you gonna let me sing now?’
‘ I’m not so sure.’
‘why? It’s just a song.’
‘when I listen to that song, it makes me dream for happiness.’
‘happiness is good, isn’t it?’
‘ it’s not good when it’s just a dream. I want it to be real.’
‘dreams can be real.’
‘I just don’t want you to sing,ok?’
‘why not?I want to sing this song to you.’
‘why me? Why not somebody else?’
‘coz you’re the one that’s on my mind.’
‘What? Oh, thanks but no thanks!’

I start walking again
Hoping the bird would fly away and won’t come back
But the bird is quite persistent
This time, it sings a bit louder
I have to admit the song is beautiful
Like I said, it is full of promises, hopes and dreams
I stop and listen
At some point, I want to throw a huge rock at the bird
But something stops me
The song hypnotizes me

‘you look sad, dear girl. Did I sing badly?’
‘no. I think you sang very nicely.’
‘but you don’t seem very happy. Why is that?’
‘coz I don’t believe in this kind of song anymore.I’m sorry.’
‘do you want to believe in it?’
‘I wish I could, but I won’t.’
‘where are you going?’
‘what?’
“I asked you where you were going?’
‘Oh! Mmm..wherever my feet takes me.’
‘why not go where your heart takes you?’
‘I don’t have a heart anymore. All I got is my brain.’
‘Has someone stole your heart?’
‘No. I buried it.’
“what? Why?’
‘it’s better that way.’
‘what if someone wants to dig it up and put it where it belongs?’
‘where is that?’
‘in your soul.’
‘you’re a strange bird who talks, you know.’
‘your heart is dying, my darling.’
‘what? I thought it was already dead!’
‘It’s not. You listen to my singng and so it proves it is still alive.’
‘yeah..yeah..whatever..’
‘i’ll sing for you again, everyday..until you’re ready.’
‘ready for what?’
‘ready to listen with all your heart.’

Then the bird flies away.
I look at the sky, wondering where it goes.
Then I realize, I miss the bird very much.

life oh life!

2006-01-25T00:12:00.000-08:00

udah semingguan ini jakarta ujannya gilaaaa bgt..
ujan badai..!!!
n sbg cewe pemberani nan gagah perkasa
gw paling males ujan2an n berkuyup2
n payung gw gak cukup kuat buat nerjang si angin topan
alhasil dia selalu kebalik
dan gw selalu keujanan
NASIB!

mau ga mau, gw harus berbetah ria di kantor
mulai hr ini gw pindah ke lt4
tnyta lmyn asik juga
walopun gw ditaro di akuarium ga jelas
dan tempatnya msh berantakan
tp enaknya ada pemandangan krn skrg gw mhadap jendela
i looooooooove jendela!!!

eniwei,
gw tuh sbtlnya males juga nangkring di ktr ampe mlm

n ujan badai itu sangat tdk ramah
apalagi jln jd super duper macet
ga ada pilihan kaaaaaaaaannnn

kdg2 gw pikir, gw ini udah pusing mikirin kerjaan
sampe pas tau sepatu pink kesayangan gw digigitin si apung
sampe blenyek n ga cantik lagi
gw cuma bisa pasrah
(tp sempat gw ketokin tu spatu ke moncong si apung! abis bete!)
sama pasrahnya pas gw ditunjuk jd mc buat acara cheers di ktr
mau ngelawan udah ga ada tenaga
yah..biarkan sajalah..hikshiks!

gw sebel ama hp gw yg mulai ngawur batrenya
bocorrrrrrrr.... sebeeelll
sama sebelnya dgn niat diet gw yg..yah cuma niat doang!

duh hari ini gw sensiiiiiii bgt

you're on my side when noone seems to listen"

2006-01-18T04:12:00.000-08:00

hari ini gw baru masuk kantor
stlh dr senin-selasa gw di mega mendung ikut training
seru juga tuh!
namanya 'impactful communication n presentation skill'
tdnya gw pikir bakal boring berat
tnyata menyenangkan n gw seneng aja udah nambah2 ilmu!
apalagi gw tuh paling susah presentasi
grogiiii...guguppp...macem2 deh
pas kmrn itu kan qta divideo tape dr awal sampe akhir
jd ketauan progressnya
ternyata beda bgt lho seblum n sesudah training!
walopun msh rd gugup, tp udah lebih calm n poised
so that was very helpful indeed!

yg paling gw inget dr training kmrn adalah..
anjing siberian husky yg menyambut qta di gerbang !
lucuuuuuuuu bgt!
bener2 ky serigala gtu, pk melolong segala!
wow! wow! sampe skrg gw msh mikirin si chika (nama tu anjing)
gw sempat nyamperin mau meluk dia
abis lucu bgt ky boneka bulu yg guedeee
tp pas dia lompat2 mau nerkam n memamerkan giginya yg taring semua
gw jd ragu
alhasil gw cuma bdiri deket dia sambil mikir2 knp matanya bisa biru bgitu
BULE? probably!

yg org2 paling inget ttg gw adlh..
gw doyan makan!
yah gmn dong..

oia..
minggu kmrn gw sempat ke gramed mau beli karton
trussssssss
pas gw lewatin tumpukan 'buku laris'

for the self-insecure people

2006-01-13T01:12:00.000-08:00

ada lagu india arie yg gw sukaaaaaaaaa bgt!
lagunya tuh sederhana bgt, tp liriknya cong...
DAHSYAAATTT!!!hehehe

mungkin dahsyatnya ya buat org2 ky gw
yg berusaha keras untuk mencintai diri apa adanya
susah tauk buat menerima segala kekurangan yg ada dlm diri sendiri!
n like other girls,
sometimes i feel like i need to lose weight
wear the right clothes,
hate my nose, etc
it's really hard to accept yourself
when the image you see everywhere is
supermodel-esque

so i think this song is truly inspiring
n setiap gw lg ga pede berat
i think about this song n i would feel better!

coba deh baca liriknya
mnurut gw sih, it can really calm you down
(oia, tulisan 'india arie' di lirik ini gw ganti jd 'yulia', hehehe)

Video - India Arie

Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul

I'm not the average girl from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
But, I learned to love myself unconditionally
Because I am a queen
I'm not the average girl from your video
My worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
No matter what I'm wearing I will always be Yulia

When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
Every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
And I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
My feet, my thighs, my lips, my eyes; I'm lovin' what I see

Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose?
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but, what she knows
But, I've drawn a conclusion, it's all an illusion, confusion's the name of the
game
A misconception, a vast deception
Something's gotta change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion
ain't nothing that I'm sayin law
This is a true confession of a life learned lesson I was sent here to share with
y'all
So get in where you fit in go on and shine
Clear your mind, now's the time
Put your salt on the shelf
Go on and love yourself
'Cuz everything's gonna be all right

Keep your fancy drinks and your expensive minks
I don't need that to have a good time
Keep your expensive car and your caviar
All I need is my guitar
Keep your Kristal and your pistol
I'd rather have a pretty piece of crystal
Don't need your silicon I prefer my own
What God gave me is just fine

how 2 tell if it's luv?

2006-01-12T00:56:00.000-08:00

gw baru ngeh klo ternyata ada blog gw yg ilang
yaitu yg judulnya 'how 2 tell if it's luv?'
kmana ya larinya blog itu?
masa keapus?
hmmm....

gw jd inget, waktu kmrn table speech di toastmaster
gw bilang,'i dont have a boyfriend, BUT i have a dog!" hehehe
i loooooooove my dog
walopun si apung mau diusir ama emak gw
tp gw bharap dia ga kmana2
soalnya dia tuh udah jd kesayangan keluarga gw
tbukti dari kegiatan rutin ngintipin si apung dr ruang tv
SETIAP HARI
hahahaha
kayanya tiada hari tanpa ngomongin apung
bokap gw juga hobi bgt cerita2 soal si apung yg ngikutin dia keluar pagi2
'pingin ikut jogging ma bapak tuh dia!'
emak gw, yg punya love-hate relationship ma si apung
pernah disambut si apung stlh seharian ga ktmu
trus dia ngaku2 klo si apung,"kangen ama mamah!"

rumah gw kan pintunya bolong2 n pk kaca
nah, si apung tuh suka ngintipin kita dr balik kaca itu
lucu bgt dehhh
dia itu lucu krn penakut abis n rd2 bego juga, hahahaha
'dasar dodooooolll...!!!' teriak si teteh

i think apung really gives us something to talk about
n always makes us smile
cuma nyokap gw resah krn dia bilang
klo di rumah ada anjing
pahala kita bkurang setiap harinya
yaaa klo udah ngomongin ky bgitu gw ga tau deh
cuma gw ga tega klo si apung dibuang
bukannya ntar malah lebih dosa ya?
dan i dunno why but i tend to like people who loves dogs

eniweiiii
kok jd ngomongin love to ur dog ya

hmm..how to tell if it's love???
answer:
if u think about d same person for...ever!
tp ga bisa jd indikator juga sih
misalnya klo org itu pny utang n ga bayar2
pasti kpikiraaaannn terus! bukan love tp loath!

isi blog ini kok ga penting bgt ya?

Oh My!

setelah lebih dr sebulan gw absen nari,
kmrn gw mulai latihan lagi..

ternyata...
badan gw lsg berontak, ditandai dgn betis yg kram2, jari2 kejang,
dan mandi keringet...byuuurrr!!!!
gerakan pun jadi ngawur, konsentrasi buyar, haus gila2an!
pertanda badan sudah tidak lentur karena dikikis umur
encok dan salah urat melanda!

dan emang dasar lagi sial,
pas nari di depan si pak kompyang (yg punya sanggar) beserta grup gamelannya
-yg notabene bapak2 semua-
kain bali gw dengan cantiknya melorot..ROT!
malu aku...uuu..sebel aku..uuu.. benci aku...

untung aja semua org bertindak sangat profesional
(baca: ga ada yg ketawa ngakak sambil jungkir balik saking gelinya)
sambil cengengesan antara malu, bingung n panik
gw buru2 ke pinggir, ngeberesin kain, trus..lanjut menari!
ckckckckck...
untuuuunnggg... gw pake celana legging di balik kain sial itu
klo enggak, bisa heboh dunia akhirat!

kmrn gw n teteh ke plaza indo gara2 ada gosip
zara diskon sampe 50%
tnyta, banyak org yg bminat
sampe2, kita mesti rela antri buat masuk doang
kok jd kayak di dufan bgini ya..
wahana : zara , atraksi : segala produk zara berharga miring
turned out : atraksi kurang menarik buat gw
apalagi pas ngelirik barang2 lucu yg harganya masih selangit
(tnyata ga miring2 amat diskonnya!)
gw memutuskan untuk mundur teratur drpd mimpi buruk
kalah sebelum perang!!!

perjalanan berlanjut menuju mango
yg ternyata..masih sale juga!
pelajaran yg gw petik : mango di Plz indo ini lebih bagus diantara mango yg lain!
n walopun dia udah ngumumin diskon dr bulan kmrn
brg2nya msh lmyn byk n bagus2...
dengan senjata kartu kredit dan semangat jihad (relakan gaji demi belanja)
gw n teteh mulai gempar n panik sambil gaya2 di depan kaca (??)
ahhh.. i love shopping!

selama perjalanan pulang...
sambil mengelus-elus kantong belanjaan dgn hati ceria
tiba-tiba gw teringat
minggu kmrn kan, gw baru beli2 baju !
trus..gw sempat beli2 buku juga!
trus..anting2!
ehhh..waktu itu juga makan2 di luar..
WEKS!
berapakah tagihan kartu gw bulan ini?

tunggu jawaban dr misteri ini...hehehe

klo lg stress, ngemil yg banyak!

2006-01-06T04:39:00.000-08:00

jam 19:39 lewat 40 detik...
di kantor gw, lt 12..
bingung mau ngapain..
kerjaan seabrek...
monitor gw berisi layout yg harus diresize..
meja gw penuh cd n print out artwork yg mesti gw kerjain juga..
otak gw mikirin kpn gw ngumpulin bahan prstsi ke2..
sambil bingung ntar pulang naik taxi atau nginep aja di sini
abis klo naik bis gw rd capek (n takut juga ama org2 di deket lampu merah..)
tp naik taksi gw juga ga yakin 100%

saking bingungnya mau apa
otak gw tuh kayanya 'froze'
jd skrg gw dengerin lagu sambil nyari2 gambar
n dikit2 bharap dpt wangsit atau ilham atau apa lah
yg penting si file ilustrator sialan ini bisa diunlock
tp emang gw lebih banyak ngunyah drpd mikir
udah 2 kantong gede kripik gw makan
n gw feeling guilty krn program makan sehat gw gagal total
hmmmppphhhh...
what a day!
sbtlnya..what a week! seminggu ini bener2 hectic
i feel so tired
so helpless
so desperate
so stressed out
all i can think about is work..work..work..
is this d life i want?
maybe...
coz i like getting my work done
n if i cant do that, i'd be really sad n furious n nervous..

am i not smart enough to do this?
so many obstacles.. so many things i dont understand..

gw lg denger lagunya 311 yg love song..
lagunya tuh..cuocok bgt ama suasana hati gw saat ini(ciehHH)
cuma kata2nya itu bikin sedih juga
biasanya gw ga suka lagu yg mendayu-dayu
tapi ini tuh... ya beda aja..
it feels different..maybe somehow i can connect with this ...rythm???
soalnya liriknya ga banget....
tp nadanya itu...takes me to another place..
kaya di awang-awang..apaaaaaa coba!!

kynya gw makin ngaco nih...
wish me for d best ya...

cheers

Live n Learn!

2006-01-02T17:55:00.000-08:00

Learn from the people around u….

Pengalaman adalah guru terbaik… or so they say…
Gw sih setuju bgt ama kalimat ini.
Malah gw mau nambahin klo pengalaman orang lain juga bisa dijadiin pelajaran buat kita semua… beneran!

Dulu waktu si teteh masih jualan kue ke makro, gw sempat heran, kenapa dia hobi banget nengokin dagangannya di sana. Bisa sehari 2 x dia ‘memantau’ ke sana buat ngecek kuenya udah laku berapa! Hihihihii…. Saking seringnya, dia sampe ga enak ati. Soalnya kburu ngetop sering wara-wiri di sekitar situ. Alhasil, suatu hari gw didaulat buat gantiin dia ngintipin dagangannya itu, “ayo de! Lo liatin ya macaroni gw tinggal berapa biji!atau lo pura-pura beli aja !” duileeeeeee…ya udah deh, gw terpaksa ikut2 sok sibuk milih2 kue di antara para pembeli, sambil ngintipin dagangan si teteh berupa arem-arem mi dan macaroni schotell.. setelah ngitung-ngitung, gw buru-buru mundur (takut disuruh beli beneran!hahaha) n nyari si teteh. Tapi..lho? kok tu anak ga ada ya? Wah…apa gw ditinggal? Setelah nyari2 dgn panik, akhirnya gw menemukan kk gw itu lagi ngintipin kue-kue dagangannya…..di balik kerumunan pisang ambon! Ya ampyuuuuuun… ni anak mau main petak umpet atau mau nyolong pisang? Huhuhu…

Tp emang dasar karma, gw pun melakukan hal yg sama setiap ke toko buku : yaitu ngintipin buku2 gw…dibeli ga? Laku ga? (sbtlya orang jualan itu emang perlu ngintip ga sih?). Kaya minggu lalu waktu gw lg nyari buku desain, gw sempetin buat nengokin kabar kabari si jombless, buku gw itu. Pas ada cewe yg lagi baca2, gw deg-degaaaaaaaan bgt sambil komatkamit baca mantera ,”beliii..ayo beliii..” pernah juga gw menata buku gw supaya lebih keliatan n menonjol dr buku lain, tapi si mbak spgnya lebih cekatan menata kembali ke posisi semula! Hiiii…nyebeliiiin..

Pelajaran lain yg gw dapet dr org lain adalah..jangan membenci sesuatu krn bisa kualat ! misalnya gini… bokap gw tuh dulu paling sebel ama orang cina. Pokoknya dia sebel aja! Eeehhh…ga taunya dia malah ditugasin ke hong kong selama 6 taun, which means dia mesti kerjasama orang cina yg sebenar-benarnya!hahahaha.. gw inget banget dulu dia bilang,”dimana-mana cina! Kanan-kiri-depan-belakang!” ya iyalah… namanya juga hong kong! Trusss.. gw pernah punya temen yang benciiiiiiiiiiii bgt ama etnis ini. Kayanya adaaaa aja celaan buat org cina. Tragisnya, temen gw ini tampangnya cina abizzzz…(dia org palembang) ..jadi aneh kan, muka cina tapi benci cina! Lebih tragis lagi, waktu dia lagi asik-asik bersepeda ria ,tau-tau dia dilemparin batu ama anak-anak sekitar situ , karena disangka orang cina! Kualat..kualat…

Bbrp minggu lalu, temen gw (cowo) cerita kalo ternyata..after 6 years of marriage, dia memutuskan klo his wife is not his true love (!).. bahkan dia bilang ada orang lain yg ternyata lebih cocok jadi true lovenya! How saaaaaaaaddddd….. walaupun dia bilang dia ga melakukan stupid thing such as having an affair, tapi tetep aja sedih karena he doesn’t love his wife anymore. Jadi dia menjalankan hidup ini karena merasa ada tanggung jawab aja thdp istri n anak2nya. Wow! This is so heartbreaking. Tp mungkin banyak yg ngalamin ky bgini. Coz people say marriage is totally different than ‘pacaran’ n many cannot cope with each other’s habit. Does marriage kill the relationship? Dengerin cerita temen gw ini really gives me the creep. Apalagi his wife is also working, jd klo menurut gw sih, istrinya itu mungkin juga capek abis kerja, mesti ngurus anak n suaminya, so she doesn’t have the time n energy to give affection, attention, etc to her husband. Temen gw si Ira juga cerita kalo ada temennya yg baru nikah bbrp tahun tapi udah il-feel ama istrinya, coz she’s not as attractive as she used to be. Tapi how can u be attractive klo tiap saat mesti ngurusin popok bayi? Mau ngurus anak di rumah salah, mau kerja juga salah. Girls are just as human as guys.. why can’t guys understand that n stop expecting girls to be superwomen?

Other lesson that I’ve learned adalah.. sometimes being a genius is not always the key to success. Klo gw pikir2, banyak temen gw yg pinter tapi kok career pathnya kurang oke (mksd gw , untuk ukuran sepinter dia, mestinya dia udah jadi apaaaaa gtu). Yg gw liat adalah, cara pikir bbrp temen gw ini agak …mmm…menghalangi jalan mereka untuk maju. Misalnya, ada temen gw yg pinter tapi terlalu takut untuk..berubah, atau mencari sesuatu yang baru. Dia ga mau cari kerjaan lain karena..takut ga betah! Atau..ada juga yg udah diterima di suatu perusahaan minyak asing dgn gaji yang uhuy tp ditolak karena.. dia gak mau keluar dari jawa! Ya ampyuuuuuuunnn… jd semua ini sbtlnya ada di mind set. Kdg orang yg biasa2 aja bisa jadi maju karena dia mau berusaha dan bekerja keras. Klo org itu pinter, tentunya bisa jadi nilai plus-plus. Tapi coba aja liat, ada orang yg pendidikannya ga nyampe sma, tapi karena dia mau belajar dari pengalaman, dia bisa maju n usahanya menghasilkan omzet sekian juta. Jadi, pinter aja ga cukup buat jadi orang sukses. Perlu ada kemauan yang kuat.

Wah panjang amat ya blog ini..hehehe…jd malu…
Yah maklum lah…abis gw lg sakit di rumah so what else can I do than write a really long blog? Hahhaha…
Udah lama ga nulis blog yg bodor.. mungkin bawaan stress juga nih, hihihi…

ada yg mau kasih gw ide buat presentasi packaging ga?hueeelllppp...!!!

i've met him!!

2006-01-01T02:41:00.001-08:00

pernah gak, baru pertama kali ktmu ama seseorang, trus lo langsung merasa,"hey! ure d one i've been searching for!"
gw pernah! n it happened a few days ago...

is it love at first sight? i dunno...

pertama kali kenalan, yg ada di pikiran gw cuma,'this guy is cute.'
but after a few hours talking to him, something hit me,'this is it!this is it!'
i felt connected to him instantly!

what makes him sooooo attractive???
pertama, physically, he's good to look at
but d most important thing adalah..
he's really smart and funny!
what a deadly combination!
dan itu gw dapatkan hanya dlm bbrp saat ngobrol aja!ckckck...
very excited about life.. knows what he wants in life..
aware of what's going on around him..
can be very silly at some point.. very fun to be around with..
very friendly... funny.. knows how to have a good time..
can turn a dull moment into a blast..
what can i say..??
amazing..!what an amazing guy!

but as always...some guys are just too good to be true
n just when i was about to get to know him a bit better
he dropped d bomb ,"...gw punya cewe..bla.bla..bla.."
well..well..
who's d lucky bitch, i wonder..

unfortunately, gw bukan tipe cewe yg punya motto
'seblum janur kuning, hajar bow!'
coz i really don't wanna (i'm just not dat kinda girl!)
n luckily gw ga ktmu dia lagi
so it's very easy to let go

but meeting dat guy gave me something to think about
now i know what kind of a person i want to spend my life with
well, obviously i want him, hehehehe
but since he's taken, i should find somebody else
that might be similar... warm, smart, funny,..
coz i felt really really comfortable with this type of person
n dats just what i've been looking for

hopefully
this year
i'll meet more people like dat
and hopefully, they're all single n available! hahaha!
wish me luck!

wanted : someone to look after me

2005-12-30T20:12:00.000-08:00

one of my wish list for next year..!!!

waktu gw ikut chatter club 2 weeks ago, they asked me why i didn't have a boyfriend.
and i said, i wasn't looking for one. i was looking for a soul mate..!!tee-hee..!

so there it is..
but where is he?
i dunno

and where is chitra sari dewi? ...?? who's dat????
itu loh..karyawan abn amro yg ilang sejak 23 des 05 kmrn...
serem yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
terakhir kali itu dia naik taksi mau brkt kerja,
n sampe skrg blom ktmu
hopefully,
she'll be found safely and unharmed..amiiinnnnn...!!!!
i think dat should be on anyone's wish list for new year

as a girl who often uses taxi for transport..i am very concern about this..
serba salah deh tingal di jkt
mau naik bis salah dicolek-colek cowo gilak
mau naik taksi juga takut dirampok trus dibuang entah dimana
pokoknya, jadi cewe di jakarta tuh susaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh bgt
every girl should be looked after in this city!
tp klo ga ada yg jagain, well u should look after urself!
which is kinda hard..sometimes..!!
how can a girl be independent when the society and environment don't allow it?
gimme some answers people...!!!

ok
maybe i need a bodyguard more than i need a boyfriend!!!
maybe every girl should have one!
skrg gw jadi takut mau pulang kantor malem-malem...
tp si citra itu kan hilangnya pagi2 ya
jd when is d safest time to go out???

td pagi gw baca dialog jumat-nya republika
normally i don't read it, tp disodorin emak gw so i had to
tp bacaannya bagus juga
ttg manfaat sedekah
apa aja ya? nih gw kasih tau :
1. menangkal bala / bahaya/musibah
2. mendatangkan rizki
3. menyembuhkan penyakit
4. memanjangkan umur

mungkin gw bukan muslim yg taat 100%.. but i know for sure that sedekah is a great way to help u in life. just trust me on this one!
knp gw bisa bilang bgitu? mmm... i won't tell u, hahahaha...
let's just say, i have some experience..
so I should encourage people to give sedekah bcoz.. ur wishes may come true!voila!

nah, stlh gw baca ini, then there's more reason to give sedekah
yaitu ya apalagi klo bukan untuk menangkal bahaya
klo lo sedekah di pagi ini, kesialan yg seharusnya dtg, bakalan ga jadi dtg
sekali lagi, walaupun gw bukan ulama
tp gw tau n yakin seyakin yakinnya, klo this is so true
klo ga percaya, coba aja sendiri!
trus klo lo punya keinginan..pingin ini itu..coba deh banyakin sedekah
yg pasti, klo kata si bacaan dialog jumat ini,
sedekah itu mendatangkan kebaikan
kebaikan bisa berarti harta, jodoh, karir,apapun yg baik bagi manusia
n segala kebaikan itu sebetulnya adalah rizki

gw jd inget, waktu puasa kmrn ada ustadzah yg bilang
'segala kesalahan itu dtg dr manusia. dan segala kebaikan itu datangnya dari Allah.'
i will remember this FOREVER! how true..!

kok jd kaya ceramah agama bgini ya?
sbtlnya mksd gw adalah
banyak2 deh beramal, atau nolong orang lain
gw juga kurang beramal nih, makanya mudah2an ...insya Allah..
taun depan bisa lebih banyak lagi..
dan semoga aja dengan banyaknya kita beramal
kita juga dijauhkan dari segala macam bahaya...
(so no need to hire a bodyguard!)
amiiiiin...!!!!

let's greet this new year with a prayer..

peace y'all!

what's d deal of happy new year?

2005-12-30T02:27:00.000-08:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR...!!!

why do people say dat? do they really know it will be a happy new year?
i mean, just because the year number is changing from 2005 to 2006
doesn't necessarily mean it will be something different/happier?? or does it?

new year is just an excuse to stay up late n have a party all night long
it's just an excuse to eat a lot coz u have a resolution next year for NOT eating as much!
also an excuse to say,"taun depan gw akan lbh baik"
why do people need a new year to improve themselves or to do something?
why can't they just do it when they can?

sure...by the end of the year, people tend to be surprised (!!)
bcoz most people think they haven't done much that year
and then they promise themselves to do something better next year
make a list of things to achieve..
on 1st january, people cheer
is it bcoz of their hope and faith for the upcoming year
or is it just bcoz of the holiday?
but by the time the date turns into january 2,
they are all back to their routines..their old habit..
so nothing's really changed!
and then..it's allready another end of year!
how silly is dat?

yess...there are some people who are actually getting better each year
n those people may say 'happy new year!'
coz they've experienced that a new year can boost their motivation
or maybe dats just it?
new year means new hope?
therefore it gives people some kind of motivation? or dream?
n dats what people expect from every new year?

but can u really expect something better from a bunch of numbers?
what makes people think something 'new' is always something 'better'?
does it always have to be like dat?

for me..new year is..well..a new year!
and i'm also one of those people who always think
next year will be better!
but now i wonder...why do i think that?

..well..have a happy new year anyway

i love shopping!

2005-12-27T01:38:00.000-08:00

do u know dat shopping can make u happy?

ok, mungkin teori ini blum disahkan dgn penelitian lebih lanjut
but to me, shopping is d best cure for sadness (n boredom)!hohoho..

coba aja, klo abis beli baju/sepatu/tas baru
pasti bawaannya semangat mau ke kantor!
hebat kan???
apalagi klo dpt barang bagus yg murah! waaaaahhh...
undescribable feeling!

pokoknya klo ada yg lucu, i HAVE to buy it
soalnya klo gw tahan2, pasti malah kepikiran n ga bisa tidur!
kaya pas hr minggu kan gw ke puri sbtar trus sempat liat jaket lucu
tp krn buru2 jd ga sempat nyoba2
alhasil seharian kmrn gw kpikiraaaaaaaaaaaaan terus!
mau gambar blue band jadinya malah jaket..jaket..
untung aja si teteh berbaik hati nganterin gw ke sana td mlm
dan untung si jaket msh ada!
klo ga ada, pasti gw jungkir balik depan belakang kanan kiri!
n srkg gw udah tenang....hihihihi

i looove shopping
dats why gw harus kerja, even when i'm married (someday)
soalnya gw ga mau dibilang ngabisin duit org lain
n i dont want to be told dat i shouldnt buy this n that
coz i know what i'm doing
mksd gw, i dont spend money like crazy
always calculate what ure buying!
n dont go overboard!
if i want to have something expensive/branded, i'd aim for leather bags/wallets/shoes
why? coz they are timeless n it wont be outdated!(hopefully)
so it'll be like an investment!
of course u can spend a little more on beautiful gowns/cocktail dresses
it's for that special occassion (u'll never know when ure gonna need it, right?)

so whenever u feel d urge to shop
better check ur bank account
got money for ur necessities?
any money left for 'pengeluaran tak terduga'?unpredictable things???
baru deh ngacir ke mal
n shop till u drop..!!

ps : always,alwaaayyyss FIT clothes b4 buying! if it doesnt suit u, just leave it!
no matter how cute it is, if it is not flattering 4 u, DON'T buy it!

surrender..!!!

2005-12-26T21:45:00.000-08:00

i looove this song..! ini lagu dari album the brand new heavies yg all about the funk.
stlh gw baca liriknya..kokkk...it's so..(isi sendiri)...???hihihii...(apaaa coba!!)

ayo..ayo..udah pd dngr kan lagunya? nah ini ada liriknya,
so we can all sing along!! musiikk....

surrender - the brand new heavies

Did you ever feel like there was
something gonna happen and then,
realize a part of you had died
perhaps created something better?
See I'm getting ready
to drop this feeling heavy.
I've been experiencing
feelings I can't hide.

So relax, try to let it flow.
Let our pre-concepts go.
No more hesitating.
Ooooh, things are gonna change.

Get up, get out, and breathe it in.
It's worth living.
There's something waiting to begin.
So let it!
Surrender, give in.
Let go to the feeling.
Just feel this feeling.
Surrender to what you're feeling.

Have you ever tried resisting
a feeling left you reeling,
cause you realized that you'd been
playing safe for so long?
You'd forgotten how good something tasted,
realized the time you'd wasted.
Sometimes it's good to do
a thing you want to...mm-misbehaving.

So unwind, let me let it go,
everything that you know.
I will give you something
that will blow your mind.

I want you to know that this is here now.
I want you to show me what you're feeling.
I want you to see how good this could be.
I want you to know this kind of healing.

tell them u love them!

2005-12-22T23:05:00.000-08:00

kmrn mlm, sepulang kantor,
gw n taz berpetualang ke pasar bunga rawa belong
demi mendapatkan bunga cantik for our moms

i have to thank taz coz gw baru tau di situ ada pasar bunga
selama ini gw cuma beli di jln utamanya
tnyata, masuk ke dlm tuh bener2 ada pasar yg lmyn luas
n semuanya jualan bunga!
OMYGOD, bunga2nya tuh bagus2 bgt (n fresh)...
byk macemnya pula n murah2!
tadinya gw mw beliin mawar, tp kurang sreg
trus sempet mau beli carnation pink yg imuuutt bgt
ehhhhh
tau2..ada bunga krisan kuning yang OH-SO-BRIGHT
gw lsg bikin pnyataan:"taz, i think i'm in love w/ this one!"
(i dunno why, but fresh flowers always make me happy!)
so in the end, gw n taz beli 3 buket bunga krisan
yg sebuketnya tuh isinya segepok!
ga sia2 deh gw n taz jalan kaki ampe ngos2an ! totally WORTH d sweat!

mantan2 gw bukan tipe yg mau ngasih bunga
bokap gw juga bukan tipe yg suka ngasih bunga (!)
pdhl emak gw suka bgt ama bunga2
dats why taun ini gw kasih emak gw bunga 4 mother's day
coz flowers are special, a special gift for a special person

td pagi temen gw bilang klo dia ga ngasih selamat hari ibu ke nyokapnya
soalnya nyokapnya tuh cuek n keluarganya tuh ga ngerayain bgituan
tp dia sbtlnya pingin juga show affection to her family

keluarga gw juga bukan yg ngerayain hari ibu
baru bbrp th ini aja gw membiasakan diri untuk ngasih selamat ke nyokap
kasih kado or whatever
coz i think she'd be happy to know that she is appreciated
dan baru bbrp th blkgan ini gw ngerti
dat u have to tell ur loved ones dat u love them

biasanya kan qta underestimate kluarga sendiri
n males klo mesti bilang,'i luv u mom' etc
pdhl, it's important
coz sometimes people NEED to hear it
jd klo lo pikir 'ih, ngapain sih ky gtu!'
atau 'ah emak gw tau kok gw sayang ma dia'
maybe u should think again!
u dont have to say 'mah, aku sayang mamah'
kynya gmn bgt n kaku gtu!
tp bisa dgn bilang,'makasih ya mah, udah bikinin sarapan'
atau 'makasih ya mah udah nungguin aku pulang'
well.. these are what i said to my mom last night
n she had this huge smile on her face
so it may mean something 2 her..
krn kdg2, setiap org pingin dihargai
pingin tau apa yg selama ini dia lakukan untuk kita itu dianggap bguna atw enggak

gw n teteh juga dlm bbrp th blkgan ini lebih affectionate
mksd gw, qta ga malu2 saling bilang,"i love my sistaaaahhh.."
(klo si teteh biasanya bilang,"wawa! do u know dat i luv uuuu..????")
n we like to hug each other (gila ya qta,hihihi)
do u know that if u touch someone u care about, it gives warmth
and it may heal all wounds..
jd klo udah nikah dll, try to always hold ur partner's hand..
it's comforting..
gw punya spasang uwak yg udah aki-nini, n they still hold hands
n they help each other to walk (coz they're sooo old!)
i could just cry!
i really wish, i'd be like them when i'm old

so my point is...
when u care about someone, let them know
bcoz they NEED to know
if u can say 'i luv u' to ur girl/boyfriends
then u MUST say it 2 ur family (or d people who are close to u)
ESPECIALLY ur mom n dad
if it's 2 hard to say, u can write it in cards..
just write something..even the simplest thing like
'makasih udah ngerapihin kamarku yg berantakan...'
coz maybe,they're wondering if u care...

new year, new me

2005-12-20T00:15:00.000-08:00

hari ini gw bener2 ga kpingin kerja
biasanya gw rd semangat, tp today..well..gw bener2 mogok

gw lg pingin main niiihhh..pingin ktmuan sm temen2 gw
lg pingin curhat..pingin ngobrol..pingin dicurhatin..blablabla..
akhirnya gw malah mikirin mau beliin apa ya buat emak gw
since mother's day is coming in two days from now..

td temen2 gw pd niat mw beli bunga
sbtlnya gw juga kpingin beliin bunga di rawabelong situ
tp gw pingin beliin kado juga..(tp jgn yg mahal2..hihihi)
apa gw ke mta aja ya ntar..liat2 M&S..
soalnya taun lalu gw beliin nyokap paket M&S yg oh-so-cute
(n kotaknya msh disimpen ama emak gw saking cantiknya!)
hmmm..taun ini ada lagi ga ya yg ky bgitu
lumayan tuhhh..moga2 harganya juga ga naik..
d problem is..gw rd males klo jln2 sendirian
dulu sih waktu msh kuliah gw hobi bgt ngider2 sendiri ky anak ilang
tp skrg gw tuh ga betah jln2 sendirian
i dunno why!

ihhh gila ya, taun baru tinggal 11 hari lagi..
another year..another hope..

i think i've done allright this year
n i'm really grateful for the things that God has given me throughout d year
ive made loads of mistakes, but also achieved some of my dreams..

klo last year gw bharap jd kurus
next year i'll just be happy w/ my own body
klo last year gw bharap dpt cowo baik
next year, gw bharap dpt cowo lebih baik dan keren (ha!)

tadi gw sempat lihat2 FS temen2 gw yg udah merit n pny anak
after i saw their children's pics, i thought..' i like being single n carefree!'
no worries..no fuss..no responsibilities..
maybe it's true what they say..
when uve been single for some time, ure getting used to it, is happy with it,
and will not exchange it for something uncertain like..um..i dunno..some guy?
the q is : do i really need a guy?
(i need a driver, dats 4 sure!)
i think my friend worries about me gara2 biasanya gw sibuk minta dijodohin
n udah sekian lama gw ga ada kbr
"lo udah pny cowo ya de?"she asked
"blom"i replied
"lha? trus? kok tumben ga minta dicariin?"she asked, again
"emang gw ga nyari" i replied, again
"ha? knp?knapaaaa???"she yelled
"i lose interest"i yawned

so there it is, the new me
what i've learned from this year..

dreams do come true (if u work n pray hard enough)
some people are really nice n warm (w/out any romantic intentions)
good friends will support u, bad friends put u down
sharing ur life w/ people who cares can make u richer n smarter
make others happy n u'll be happy too
life is great if u enjoy it
exercise relieves stress
tortilla chips do not relieve stress!
shit happens

well..that's it, i guess.

accept my old self

2005-12-18T05:29:00.000-08:00

gw sadar klo umur gw udah ga imut lagi
udah 27 gtu lohhhh...!!!(pengumuman! pengumuman!)
dan recently, gw menemukan the downside of being old:

when i looked into d mirror, i found something strange below my left eye..i analyzed..wondered..n then, to my horror, i realized..it was...my very first, ever, ... (take a deep breath, darling!)
WRINKLE!
OHGOD!OHGOD!OHGOD!OHGOD!OHGOD!OHGOD!

it was just a slight line, but it is what it is : a damn freakin' wrinkle! geeeeeeeeeeezzzz....
now i have MORE reason to hate my old self!

blkngan ini i'm having a huge down fall with my confidence. i mean, i aint got any left!
i dunno why, but i don't feel my best, lately.
...and it may have something to do with my body.
actually, it's the main reason!
i cringe at weight scale,avoid mirrors, n hate the thought of shopping clothes!
how strange! (coz i love 2 shop!)

gw lg mikir2 mw ke akupunktur buat nahan napsu makan gw yg smakin brutal (bisa ngalahin kuli2 bangunan gtu cong!)
soalnya gw merasa badan gw nih lg beraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaattt bgt
mau dibawa jalan tuh ga enak bgt n bawaannya malessss mlulu (emang udah bawaan sih..)
sampe2 minggu kmrn gw mogok nari (malah udah sebulan nih ga lthn)
soalnya gw ga bisa melihat sisi keindahan dari lenggokan si perut buncit ini
n sumpah gw skrg ngerti knp penari balet itu cungkring2
krn klo gendut dikit geraknya susah bow!thalang oleh lemak!fat kills art!
apalagi klo liat guru gw yg kurus bgt ky wayang golek, bikin gw sakit hati!hu3..

tp gw boleh bangga dikit krn udah 2 minggu ini gw bhasil ke gym! plok plok plok!
ya..ga sering sih...heheheh..tp at least 2x seminggu lah! bisa! bisa !
n tau gaaaaaaaaakkkk
i found out that doing exercise can ease my mind
kdg2 klo gw udah mumet bgt ma kerjaan, gw nekad ngacir ke gym selama 1/2 jam
n after dat, i feel refreshed n ready 2 do another round of work (n a huge meal)!
ckckck.. d magic of sport!

nahh..olah raga udah mulai rutin..
tinggal makannya aja nih yg mesti dibenerin lagi
udah 2 bulan ini gw makannya 'ngaco' (translation : banyak bgt sampe sakit perut n pusing!)
so i must do something about it
apalagi gara2 keriput sialan itu! gw jd mesti hati2 milih makanan! hu3..
trus mungkin gw harus lebih rajin ngurus kulit gw! make it glow, girl! (??)

wah udah ky new year resolution bgini ! mentang2 bentar lagi taun 2006..
OHMYGOD! then next year i'll be OLDER? mamaaaaaaaaaaaakkkk...!!!
new year's coming, still single ! ckckckck...

what i think..

2005-12-18T02:27:00.001-08:00

"Lately, have u ask urself d reason of ur existence?"

sms ini gw terima bbrp hari yg lalu, tepatnya jam 1 pagi. waktu itu jawaban gw adalah:

"i dunno. to rule d world, maybe?"

to be honest, gw sebel knp temen gw-si rudi- tiba-tiba nanya beginian. apalagi di saat gw lagi sibuk meraung-raung ttg kerjaan gw sambil guling2 di kasur! hmmm.. mungkin dia bosen juga denger ratapan gw yg ga abis-abis menyesali nasib sejak gw nelp dia di kantor sampe pulang n curhat semaleman suntuk.. hehehe... truly sorry for him, hahahaha..! dan yg bikin gw tambah sebel, pas gw masih semangat juang nyerocos ttg betapa deg-degannya gw mhadapi hari esok, temen gw ini dengan teganya ... ketiduran! (pdhl baru juga jam 2 !)

sms dia ini blum gw hapus krn it actually attracted my sense of being (taela!). tadi pagi gw baca lagi n it got me thinking...apa ya??? dan sampe skrg, gw blom tau jawabannya.

i like talking to people. oh, let me rephrase that. I Love talking to people. especially d ones who are smart, have goals and always curious about life. the best thing about them is dat after a discussion, i would think about what i should do with my own life. so they really inspire me with their thoughts.

gw bukan org yg filosofis, jadi klo temen2 gw ini udah ngomongin hal-hal tingkat tinggi seperti kenapa kita ada di dunia ini, trus apa tujuan cinta (buset dehhh.., dalem amat!), pasti gw cuma bisa terbengong-bengong, manggut2 ga peduli, atau mikirin mau beli cemilan apa besok!

bbrp hari y lalu, rudi ngasih tau gw salah satu penemuan terhebatnya dlm misteri kehidupan: " apapun yg kita lakukan ini sebetulnya adalah ibadah untuk menuju ke Atas. dan menikah itu landasannya adalah ibadah, bukan karena cinta. tapi Allah tidak melarang qta untuk mencintai orang yg kita nikahi." pada detik itu juga, yg gw pikirkan adlh: "ha?! lo ngomong apa sih ruuudddd???gw ga ngerti !" hehehe..

tp si rudi itu emang paling pinter mpngaruhi org, krn sampe skrg gw masih kpikiran sama kata-katanya itu. sialan! gw jd mikir, apa mksd dia itu ya? coz rud, i cant imagine being w/ someone i dont love, so i dont agree w/ ur words of wisdom (in fact, i dont understand what u meant!). why would anyone want to marry someone they dont really care about?

hmmm...gw jadi inget lagu whitney houston (it's not right, but it's ok) yg di dlmnya ada lirik terbaik di dunia --> "i'd rather be alone than unhappy" -->what a genius!
this is my favorite wording ever!
i think that's what describes how i am feeling now n i guess those words are what i've been hanging on to.

having a relationship is tough. n i dont even believe in love that lasts forever. mnurut gw, what keeps a relationship strong is friendship, not love. when u love someone, u expect them a little more than who they really are, and the people that we love also have d same expectations. when one or both party cant fulfill those expectations, hearts will break. but friendship is all about accepting one another, and not to bother about other's imperfections.

so that's my opinion. serius amat ya blog ini? what is happening 2 meeee...??? mamaakkkk...
abis gw sebel dibilang tlalu pilih2 klo nyari cowo, coz i dont pilih-pilih, i'm just trying to find someone that makes me feel comfortable with. THAT'S IT! but i'm hard to please, so it's not an easy task.

to rudi : love can drive people nuts (..n i dont even like nuts. i prefer almonds! hahahaha...!!)

...jd apa ya d reason i exist?

apung can be healed!

2005-11-27T18:47:00.000-08:00

sabtu kmrn akhirnya dokter hewan (drh) yg gw tunggu2 dtg juga ke rmh...

why would i need a vet? ya buat nyuntik vaksin anti rabies ke apung, anjing kampung gw yg makin hari makin lucu aja..huehehehe

si apung tuh super jinak, malah agak penakut.. mungkin dia trauma ama orang, gara2 dipukulin minggu lalu itu..kmrn pas diperiksa drh, dia diem aja..pas disuntik juga diem aja. duh.."baik bener ni anjing!"kata si drh. dia sendiri ampe heran knp anjing sejinak ini sampe dikeroyok orang. trus kan gw cerita klo those bastards bilangnya si apung gigit anak kecil, makanya digebukin. tp klo kt drh, kayanya ga mungkin dia gigit, soalnya dia jinak bgt! mungkin dia digangguin/dilemparin trus nyakar, tp jadinya malah disangka ngegigit. duh..malangnya nasibmu pung..

yg bikin gw seneng adlh, waktu si drh meriksa kaki pincang si apung. katanya.."ga ada tulang yg patah kok. bisa diobati n bisa sembuh!" tadinya gw pikir dia itu lumpuh permanen! kt drh, kemungkinan dia pincang krn kena benda keras atw..digebukin! mamaaaaakkk...!!!

bokap kynya seneng2 aja ada si apung. malah dia bilang,'ni anjing klo bersih cakep juga!' cuma nyokap aja nih yg msh ribut2 ada anjing di halaman rumah. smoga aja dia berubah pikiran (bdoa..bdoa..)

what can i say..i love this dog. kmrn gw ma teteh mandiin dia pk shampoo johnny andrean..tp kok dia tetep bau ya?huehehe.. payah juga ni.. niatnya sih gw mw bawa dia ke salon anjing, spy skalian dibersihin kutu2nya n dikasih obat anti kutu! eh tnyta ngurus anjing itu mahal juga ya..ckckck..
untung gw ga pny cowo (lho?). dan stlh dimandiin, si apung rd lumayan juga! klo kt nyokap, dia ini ky dalmatian soalnya badannya totol2 gtu..(yeah..yeah..) tp emang si apung ini tampangnya ga malu2in kok..cuma dia ini klo difoto kok ga mw diem..!duh! trus dia tuh ga bisa gonggong, bisanya cuma nguik nguik doang (ni anjing apa kambing sih?)

wah gw jd kangen ma anjing gw..lagi apa ya dia? hihihihi...(kok cekikikan??)

poor doggie...

2005-11-22T01:45:00.000-08:00

td mlm qta kedatengan tamu..
seekor anjing kampung yg sumpah buduk buanget, kurus..n pincang

awalnya gara2 si teteh mw masukin mobil, tp ada anjing yg duduk di depan pager
pas dia turun n buka pager, tu anjing menyingkir..sambil tertatih-tatih
tnyta..kaki kiri belakangnya pincang (!)
hwaaaaaaaaaa.....

trus si teteh teriak2 manggil gw
"wawaaaa..there's a doggie in our house!! pincang waaa.."
gw lsg keluar 2 see d li'l thing
awwwwww.... poor li'l doggie!
si mamah sempat takut n bilang klo td sore tu anjing sempat dikeroyok
ama segerombolan anak2 sma
mereka bilang tu anjing gigit anak kecil
but i don't buy it
mksd gw, d doggie looked really ill n hopeless
klopun dia gigit, pasti gara2 diganggu/dilemparin
(gw heran deh ama org2 yg suka ngelemparin anjing
dasar ga punya perasaan
ya pantesan aja digigit! dasar oon!)
anywayy.. gw n teteh yakin bgt ni anjing adlh korban penyiksaan penduduk
apalagi liat badannya yg kerimping n lemes n budukan n byk luka n pincang
pas gw sodorin makanan, dia dieeemmm aja
pdhl tadinya mw gw taro di luar rumah makanannya
tp tu anjing diem aja, cuma ngeliatin...duhh..kasian deh
akhirnya gw n teteh ga tega jd qta biarin aja dia di halaman depan
trus pas dikasih makan lsg lahap gtu!
akhirnya semua sisa makanan yg ada qta kasih aja
trus abis mkn dia tidur gtu
awww...poor doggie..

sbtlnya ortu gw rd kuatir tu anjing rabies
n gw sempat mikir klo si doggie betah nangkring di rmh
bakal gw panggilin vet buat nyuntik dia
ya kan takut aja klo tiba2 gigit
cuma kmrn itu dia bener2 jinak n ga ada tanda2 gila sama sekali
n akhirnya si mamah sih gpp si doggie tinggal di rumah
'tp sampe dia sembuh aja lah' katanya
yahh..klo gw sih, mw dia sembuh juga
ya tinggal aja di situ
drpd klo ke luar ditimpukin lagi

gw cuma mau bilang
klo sampe gw liat lo-lo nimpukin anjing
gw janji
LO SEMUA BAKAL GW TIMPUK BALIK!!!!
sembarangan aja nimpuk2 binatang
GW AKAN MEWAKILI PARA MAKHLUK TAK BDAYA INI
(hosh hosh hosh
cape juga ya teriak2..)

**LOVE EVERY GOD'S CREATURE**except snakes, reptiles,...

2005-11-14T22:32:00.000-08:00

but watch out! masih ada prstasi2 berikutnya! olala...

wiken kmrn gw sempat bengek ngik nguk gara2 tlalu semangat nyanyi2 di rumah sodara!
jd ceritanya..kan ada acara kluarga gto..trus pas di sana tuh..ruamee bgt
n spt biasa, gw selalu menjadi org yg paling sibuk cari2 makanan (laperrrr..)
sampe ponakan gw kagum,"bi ade dr td makan terus ya?"
lagian para bapak2 n ibu2 itu kok malah pidato2 keluarga dulu! yg bener ajaaa..
ketauan bgt deh sisa2 orba msh nempel abisss.. ceramah..pidato..sambutan..gilee
mana saat itu gw udah luaper ngiler ( n batuk2 ) gara2 kena asep si abang sate
alhasil..gw melarikan diri ke bagian rumah yg satu lagi (untung tu rumah gede!) n tnyta..
sepupu2 gw lg pd asik2 nonton tivi sambil ketawaketiwi plus ngemilin risoles n kue mangkok!
ahhh senangnya duduk2 di sofa gede sambil nonton discovery..(sambil makan pula)
trus i spotted a piano.. gw baru inget klo sodara2 dr nyokap tuh byk yg bisa main piano
wah gw jd kepingin bljr main piano lagi..huhuhu..
tnyata sodara2 gw ini pd kocak2 n seru2 abiiizzzzz.. pokoknya i had fun bgt di sana
emang sih..para sesepuhnya rd2 hobi berpidato..buktinya, abis makan, masih ada acara cerita nostalgia! jaman perang pula! plis dehhhh...
tp yg generasi 'baru'nya (ini juga umurnya udah 30-an ke atas gtu) seru2 n pas yg lain pidato, qta menyingkir ke ruang lain buat.. nyanyi2 ! teh eva, sepupu gw yg bertindak sbg pianis, semangat bener tang teng tong dan yg lain krn ga ngerti not balok dgn senang hati menyanyi sepuas hati.. tmasuk gw..hehehee.. dan tnyata, saking semangatnya teriak2 (bukan nyanyi deh, gw ngaku!) gw sampe..ngiiiikkk..nguuukkk.. wuaduh mampus kacang bungkus! gw bengek!
untung gw ga sampe pingsan tkapar tak bdaya..lagian kan tengsin klo sampe masuk UGD gara2..
"td saya ..ngiiikkk... lg nyanyii...hhnggiiikkk...dokterrrr...hhhngiiikkkkkk!!!"
gw di sana ampe sore..n lmyn capek lho nyanyi2 itu.. apalagi sambil kejer2an ama sodara lo..
wahhh...itung2 olahraga lah..

ehhh..gw mesti cabs dulu nih..buhbye...!

'tis d day after lebaran...

2005-11-05T18:25:00.000-08:00

lebaran is d best excuse to eat like crazy...

spt yg udah2...tiap lebaran pasti gw makannya extra banyak. apalagi gw doyan bgt ngemilin kue2 di stoples bening itu...my all time favorite : kue putih salju! biasanya nyokap sampe bela2in ngumpetin kue2 itu spy gw ga bisa ngambil...hiii!! niat ama ya! tp aneh.. tahun ini dia ga ngumpetin lho! mungkin dia pikir pcuma aja, toh akan gw abisin juga ,..hehehe..

gw heran klo ada yg bisa nurunin berat badan pas puasa, krn buat gw itu ga pernah tjadi. biasanya sih...turun setengah kilo (dikit amat ya!), trus pas lebaran naik 2 kg (!). jadi ya ga ngaruh lah... sbtlnya gw ga kpingin makan banyak... biasanya gw suka feeling guilty gtu klo udah ngabisin satu stoples kue beserta cemilan2 lainnya.. tp yahhh..since it's lebaran, i'd forgive myself (maap lahir batiinnnn..!) and .. continue eating! hohoho!

ehhhhh..tp lebaran kali ini berat gw cukup stabil. gw sempat kagum.. pdhl pas nimbang, gw udah prepare 4 d worst n takut2 ngintip jarum timbangan.... GA TAUNYA! i'm not dat heavy! why..?? i wonder??? apakah input makanan gw berkurang dr tahun2 sblumnya?? hmm.. stlh melihat tumpukan stoples yg isinya tinggal basa-basi...i don't think soooooooo... jd..knp bisa bgini ya??? apa timbangannya rusak? atau... mungkin karena... dedikasi gw untuk nyetrika selama 2 jam setiap pagi? BISA JADI!

terus terang gw heran sama keranjang jemuran di rumah gw. kok..ga abis2 ya??? pdhl gw udah bikin target, dalam 2-3 hari beres spy bisa lanjut ke project berikutnya (taela..). tapiiiiii.. setiap gw datang ke kamar setrika...sulap kelap kelip cuh cuh! tumpukan setrikaan semakin menggunung ! kayaknya setiap gw nyetrika...PUFF! muncul baju kusut baru! ( how magical!) waduh.. klo ky gini, susah nih bikin time linenya...hehehehe.. ahhh... i miss rahayu so much! kpn ya dia balik? huhuhu..

gw sempat bete nih kmrn..gara2 baru sehari stlh lebaran..gw udah di -sms gila ! sueebeeeelll.. sbtlnya sih penyebabnya simpel aja : gw sms temen (cowo) buat berlebaran ria, mana udah lama bgt ni org ga ada kabarnya: "hoi! pa kbr? met lebaran yaa.." eeeeeeeee.. dijwb ama cewenya yg kynya macan bgt "jangan sms si X lagi ya! dia udah pny cewe!" duileeeeeeeeeeeee..... ampun mbak, ampuuunn... hiii..!! d moral of d story : klo mw sms temen lama, selidiki dulu apakah pacarnya galak atw psycho! hii.. gw cuma mau ucapin...maap ya mbak pacar temen gw.. sumpah mampus gw cuma pingin lebaran doang kok..siapa jugaaaaaaaaa yg mw rebut pacar situ! ge-er amat!

it's a jungle in here!

2005-11-05T17:34:00.000-08:00

lo suka binatang ga? klo gw sih...suka banget. . tgantung binatang apa dulu..

klo anjing, beruang kutub, lumba-lumba, pinguin, anjing laut...gw sukaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bgt! setiap liat mereka di animal planet, gw suka gemesss pingin nyubitin those cute furry animals!!! apalagi klo liat anak beruang, anak macan, anak anjing laut kutub,...ya ampyuuuuuuuunnnn... pingin gw gigit-gigit..!!! guemeesssss... gw sempat pny cita2 pingin ke aussie buat nyolong koala la la.. tp apa daya...ga ksampaian! (belom kali yaaaaaaaaaaa... keep ur fingers crossed!)

tp ga semua binatang gw suka... malah sebetulnya..banyak yg gw ga suka. misalnya..kucing. gw ga tau knp gw ga suka kucing..(mungkin krn gw suka anjing??hmmm..) tp gw suka cheetah, yg sbtlnya msh sodaraan ama kucing. klo gw piara cheetah di rumah, pasti kuereeennn... dan klo ada cowo jail yg nyebelin, gw lemparin cheetah klaparan aja biar mampus !(ngomong2 cheetah, kok gw jd pingin makan cheetos ya?) gw juga ga suka ama yg namanya.. tikusssss....hiiiii... ini gara2 pas kmrn gw ktmuan ama tikus got yg lg survei ke dapur di rumah n i just had to screeeaaaaaaaaaaammmmmm..."tikussssssss!!!" dan si mickey mouse kampung itu just had to jump up and down in front of me (dia pikir ini talent show apa?) before running away to ... i dunno where!

klo dipikir-pikir...rumah gw ini sempat dijadikan tujuan wisata binatang2 yg gak cukup layak buat dilestarikan : nyamuk, semut, kecoak(yg ini jarang ada sih..cuma geli aja), cicak cicak di dinding...diam-diam merayap.. nyokap gw tuh kdg2 suka aneh. misalnya..dia suka ngasih nasi buat..cicak! gw sempat terpana penuh kekaguman waktu nyokap nyodorin nasi di jarinya buat cicak di tembok yg keliatannya udah dipengaruhi globalisasi dan modernisasi sehingga ga makan nyamuk lagi, tp makan nasi! untung ga minta rendang! emak gw juga suka nabur nasi di halaman "Buat burung... kasian kan klo laper.." kdg2 dia nyisain makanan buat tikus juga! lho? tp stlh tikus itu jd betah di rumah (ya iyalah.. makan gratisss!!), emak gw malah jd terminator tikus!

saat yg paling menegangkan dalam hidup gw adalah... waktu ngeliat ada uler di rumah ! alamaaaaaaaaakkkk.. mana gw tuh paling anti sama yg namanya uler. Kecuali tas kulit uler, gw paling ogah liat sosok meliuk-liuk yang menggelikan minta diinjek itu! heran..kenapaaa mesti gw yg ngeliat! apalagi waktu itu gw lg di kamar si teteh! untuuuuuuuuuuunngg..gw liat! klo enggak..trus tau-tau dia udah di samping gw sambil ngitik2 ,"heelllllooooo..ssssssssss..!!" bisa mati kaget gw! gw sempat antara pcaya ga pcya pas liat tu uler meliuk buru2 buat nyungsep ke tumpukan tas si teteh. detik berikutnya gw loncat2 ke luar kamar sambil teriak histeris manggil nyokap, bokap, rah..siapa aja deh! mana waktu itu udah malem jd lebih serem aja kayanya! si babeh tpaksa jadi pawang uler dadakan berbekal tongkat kedukan sampah buat nge-getok si uler gila (semua uler itu gila kan?). after many attempts and dangerous stunts ( spt menyiram karbol n lompat2 panik), that hideous snake mampus juga. (what a relief!)

gw heran klo ada org yg suka ama uler. i mean... ulerrr gtu loh! (mantan) cowo gw tuh salah satu org yg cinta ama uler. dia sampe piara gtu di kamarnya, di samping tempat tidur, spy bisa dia liatin tiap mw bobo . terus terang gw ngeri ngebayanginnya, apalagi uler dia yg dulu pernah lepas n jjs di rumahnya. hiii...!! suatu hari dia bilang mau ngenalin piaraannya si uler n buaya ke gue !!! sbg cewe yg baik n penuh perhatian, gw bilang," klo sampe gw ktmu ama tu uler n buaya, i sweaaarrr i'll kill 'em n turn 'em into a stylish handbag!" hmmm... mungkin ini salah satu sebab knp gw ga langgeng ma dia...hehehehe..

size matters!

2005-11-05T14:53:00.000-08:00

gara2 waktu toast master kmrn ngomongin 'weight does matter', gw jd kpingin nulis2 ttg topik ini..coz it matters a lot, especially for girls who are insecure about their appearance, ya gak?
have u ever noticed that clothes size are getting a lot smaller nowadays? it's true! bahkan baju2 buat anak kecil pun dibuat dgn ukuran nge-pas badan !( even little girls have the pressure to look slim!) i find it quite hard 2 find the perfect fit for myself..which is kinda depressing sometimes !
waktu sma n awal kuliah, gw sempat rajin berdiet ria. tujuannya apalagi klo ga lain dan ga bukan ya spy keliatan cihuy sumuhuy bin uhuy. celakanya, gw ini doyan bgt sama yg namanya makanan. jadinya selama proses diet ini gw merasa tsiksa bgt, walopun pas timbangan turun tuh rasanya giraaaaaaaang..bgt! dan biasanya yg jadi penyemangat untuk diet adalah : pas pny cowo atau pas ada gebetan! wahhh...ini sih judulnya 'gw rela mati lemas demi elo hai cowo lucu!'. dan kasus ini ga menimpa gw doang..tp banyaaaaaaakkkk bgt temen gw yg ky bgini (hayo..ngaku aja deh loo...!!!)

contoh kasus : first date ama gebetan. gejala : panik, bingung, stress mw pk baju apa, dandan ky gmn spy si gebetan makin kesengsem ama qta ( syukur2 klo ditembak!). psiapan : ga makan dr pagi sampe malem demi menghindari perut buncit saat memakai kaos ketat, trus creambath n ngeblow di salon spy kinclong n spy lupa ama perut yg keroncongan. saat nge-date : pura2 ga laper n pesen minum doang sambil senyum2 ga jelas. pas pulang : senyum2 lagi (cape ya jd cewe), tunggu si gebetan pergi, langsung ngibrit ke dapur, buka kulkas n lemari.. sikaaaaaaaaattt..!!

penyemangat diet yg lain adalah: klo mw ktmu ama saingan atau cewe yg berpotensi merebut cowok lo, hahaha! ky temen gw yg biasanya cuek aja makan ini-itu, tau2..kok rajin senam n makan sayur doang? usut pny usut, tnyata dia n cowonya bakal ke kondangan n gosipnya siiihhh..bakalan hadir pula mantan si cowo yg klo kt org2 sih..aduhai suit suiiit. temen gw panik doongg.. takut sang cowo tiba2 tsadar klo cewenya pny byk lemak cadangan buat tinggal di kutub utara ! "Duuhhh..mudah2an berat gw turun cepeeeeeetttt...!!!"doa dia setiap hari. tp mw secepet apa sih klo diet cuma dalam waktu bbrp hari? dan yg bikin bete adalah, pas kondangan, si mantan itu ga dateng pula! duileee... alhasil temen gw yg kecewa berat krn batal tampil itu lsg berontak dengan menghajar bleh setiap makanan di kawinan itu , sampe dibawa pulang segala pake tisu! (ini lebih malu2in deh kayanya..)
klo dipikir2..ngapain ya qta ky bgitu? trying so hard to impress some guy.. hahaha! pdhl pas udah jadian nih..biasanya beratnya mulai naik naik ke puncak gunung. apalagi klo si cowo udah bilang,"i luv u just d way u r.." wahhhhhhhh.. udah deh! bablas angine! mau makan sekarung juga cuek, sambil ngeles," kan lo mw nerima gw apa adanyaaaaaaaaa..."

tp jd cewe tuh emang susah. pinginnya sih nyantai aja ga usah repot2 nyiksa diri bgitu. tp apa daya, guys respond better to good looking girls kan? klo cowo bisa kliatan appealing krn kebaikannya, nah klo cewe bisa keliatan cantik ya.. krn dia keliatan cantik!

anyway...for u girls out there, just take it easy lah. it's ok if u wanna look fabulous, but do it right.
truss.. for u guys out there.. pls ..never tell ur girls that they look 'a bit chubby' coz even though u quickly added 'but u look great, honeeeyyyy..!', trust me..they'll freak out!

this is 4 u,put!

2005-10-28T19:20:00.000-07:00

a friend in need is a friend indeed... this is a good phrase, don't u think?

ok put, (as in, anindita putri, temen sma gw yg skrg kerjanya jd arsitek sekaligus desainer interior jadi klo lo mw bangun/renov rumah just give her a call - see... gw promosiin kan lo???) i just had 2 write this blog 2 say how grateful i am that u were there to comfort me when i felt like crap! hahahahaha...!!! (a big tengkyu 2 u too, wawa!)

tp bener lho..when u feel crushed, u should call ur friend and pour your wounded heart and soul coz it would make u feel sooooooooo much better! I knew i just haaaaaaaaaaaaaddd 2 call u right from the very beginning when i felt like.."heyyy..i think something's bad gonna happen!" and u know what? Something did gone bad (!) and i just had 2 call u zillions of time to give u every single detail of how horrible it was! Even when ur battery went out I just had to yap-yap all over the place and kept calling everyone until ur battery is charged again! geezzzz....

i remember what u said about "being sensitive is an advantage", well..i don't see it, put! if i had it my way, i'd rather be not. u know, sometimes we're both so sensitive that we exaggerates and really, when i think about it, why do we have to think about it? like, why should we feel like crap over some guy ? i mean.. why ??? are we overreacting or something? it's just not right.
here's the thing put..i'm a cancer, n u r too, and my sis, whom i'd pour my heart into, is also a cancer. cancers are just...so marshmellow! we cry over silly things..it's odd! but it's a great thing to have cancerian friends coz they know exactly how i feel and even though we laughed it off , we're still hurt inside and will always remember the pain (klo gw sih gtu. lo gmn?). i read about cancers being so loving and sensitive that it hurts them most of the time. (how tragic!)

anywayy... all i wanted 2 say is.. we should all put our best friends' name in speed dial to avoid any burst of tears and public humiliation, coz really... if u keep it 2 urself, it won't be pretty!
peace, y'all!

santai...santai..!!!

2005-10-28T01:04:00.000-07:00

udah 2 hari ini si rahayu (alias asisten emak gw di rumah dan malaikat penyelamat buat kita semua) mudik ke kampuang nan jauh di mato. tanda2 kericuhan di rumah blum tlihat. krn biasanya siiihhh.. nyokap gw jd super duper cerewet klo anak2nya ngacir tanpa nyapu2 n ngepel2. emak gw ini tmasuk hebat juga lho. dia bisa ngomel2 seharian dari pagi ampe malem sambil beberes, ngelap2, masak, nyuci dan nyetrika ! ck ck ck... gw jd inget si teteh yg pny kekuatan ajaib yaitu bisa nyetir di tengah kemacetan sambil dandan lengkap (pk maskara n all..), makan nasi goreng, maki2 mobil yg nyalip sambil nendang tape bututnya yg sering ngadat ga ada suara jamie cullum laki-laki idamannya ('jamie loves meee..' she says. yeah..right..)

back 2 my mom.. emak gw ini emang doyan beberes. bengong dikit, beberes! suntuk dikit, ngelap-ngelap! duileeee... aktip benerrr.. dulu emak gw pernah nginep di kos gw. truss.. tangannya ga bisa diem. pinginnya bebereeeessss mulu. klo org lain mah belanja cemilan buat di kos, emak gw sih beli glass cleaner ama lemon pledge! gosok sana, gosok sini..sampe bunga2 potpoury gw dilapin satu-satu! stlh kmr gw licin tandas kinclong mengkilap wangi cemerlang indah surgawi, emak gw bingung mw ngapain! akhirnya..kamar mandi kos-an gw jd sasaran berikutnya! temen2 kos gw sempet panik, gara2 kamar mandi jd extra wangi, bersih dan rapi, kirain salah masuk kamar mandi ibu kos!

kasian emak gw, krn bakat gosok sana-sini andalannya itu tidak menurun ke gw. yahh..gmn ya.. ini kan salah dia juga sering ngatain gw jorok. jadilah gw anak yg...ya itu, .. sbtlnya gw tuh ga jorok2 amat sih...kamar gw rapi kok. cuma itu, debunya banyak bener..hahaha.. pdhl gw alergi debu! nah lo! gw juga ga suka barang bserakan di kamar..tp klo di lemari sih...that's a different story!

gw jd inget kt nyokap, "anak perempuan kok jorok!" lha..skrg kan jaman emansipasi! ya gak? ya gak? lagian dulu waktu gw msh di perut nyokap, ortu gw ga satupun mikir yg lahir bakalan cewe. mereka yakin seyaquin-yaquinnya klo ni anak adlh: cowo. pake nyiapin nama muhammad segala! pas lahir cewe, bingung deh! alhasil, selama seminggu mereka mikir2 nyari nama yg cocok secocokcocoknya..dan jadilah nama gue : yulia! ya ampuuuunnn.. nama bgitu aja mikirnya lama benerr..! sebel! makanya..klo mw pny anak tuh siapin dua nama! jd gak keder!hu..

klo dipikir2, gw ini rd nyusahin juga, he3. selain penyakitan, gw ini klo tidur buset dehh... dan ini sudah tbukti sejak kecil! jd waktu itu gw ngintilin ortu gw ke hotel horison di ancol(skrg udah ga ada ya). nah, ortu gw ke acara kantor, gw main2 ke dufan. abis itu gw plg n bobo di kmr. pas ortu gw mw pulang n ambil kunci, kt resepsionis udah diambil. trus pas mrk ke kamar, ketok2, kok ga dijwb. diketok lagi, dibel, digedor, ditlpon terus2an..ga dijwb juga. diteriakin..ga dijwb. sialnya, org hotel juga ga pny kunci serep! alhasil, pintu kamar didobrak paksa n pas semua org masuk sambil ribut2 panik, gw msh tidur pules di samping deringan telpon...dan baru bangun bsok paginya!

gw juga suka lupa. dulu waktu msh SD, gw ma kk gw naik taxi bareng ke sekolah. pas turun dan taxinya jalan, gw tiba2 merasa ada sesuatu yg kurang..apa ya.."teeehhh!! tas ade ketinggalaaann..!!!" si teteh n aa lsg lari2 ngejer tu taxi sambil teriak2,"stooopppppp!!!" tp gw juga ga mw kalah teriak2,"bukaaaaannnn..bukan di situ.." "dimanaaa????"sahut kk gw cengo. "di..rumaaaaaaaaahhh!!!"stlh itu, gw ditinggalin aja gtu , kebingungan..hu3..

gw lg ga enak badan niiihh...dr td kepala pusing n hidung gw melerrrr...pileeeeekkkkk... lemeeeesss....untung hari ini gw ga puasa, jd lmyn lah ga ampe pingsan. gw seneng dehhh...udah bbrp hari ini gw jd tempat curhat temen2 gw..hehehe..kayanya gw tuh sok pinter bgt ya kasih tips2..yah..sekalian promosi buku gw kali, hahahha... anyway... i feel honoured coz it seems like they trust me w/ their feelings. seru juga sih dengerin mslh2 mereka. kdg2 gw sampe ikut2 emosi..hahaha..wah..klo yg ini mah biasanya klo ngomongin cowo! gw sih selalu menekankan ama temen gw,'if u're not happy, why bother?' hahaha..

gw jd inget kt temen gw yg merasa mungkin udah saatnya dia manut ama cowonya. wahhh.. klo gw sih, ga stuju! sori dori mori aja nih. kepatuhan itu ada harganya, yaitu : respect. klo cowo lo ga respect ma lo, ngapain juga cape2 ! ga perlu deh maksa ikutin perintah org lain klo lo sendiri merasa ga sreg (klo lo ga keberatan sih, ya tserah lo..). lama2 lo sendiri yg tsiksa! intinya, a good relationship must work both ways.

oh well... gw sbaiknya ga ngasih saran apa2 ttg a good relationship, apalagi gw lg ga pny cowo. sok tau beneerrrr.. gw jd inget kt si putri,"yul, kok banyak cewek seumuran kita yang berkarir juga tapi dengan mudah dapet cowok yang dare enough to say “will you marry me ?” oooohhh... damn it... that really kills me! sbtlnya gw juga suka mikir ky bgitu sih put..sebel ya... how others are so lucky! but u know what, maybe they're not so lucky ! a married friend even envy our freedom to do our thing without worrying to change diapers! jadi ga usah lah banding2in dgn org lain, we have our own happiness!

oh well..that's all 4 now..gbye everyone!
peace, love and harmony!

i simply remember my favorite things

2005-10-22T23:54:00.000-07:00

helloooooooooooooowwwwww....

it's been a while since i wrote my last blog. long time no see! so how r u guys?
miss me? hohohoho...

if u're wondering why i'm writing in english, it's because my presentation date is near and
i really have to practise my speech (which i'm still not sure what it's about).
i think my GM (that's general manager, u looney!) is overly worried about me not being able
to ace this presentation and afraid i'll make a fool out of myself.
well, i'm paranoid myself and looking back at what i've done in the past three months..mm..
let's just say,"ngomongin yang lain aja yukkkkkkkkk...!!!"

gmn klo qta ngomongin hal2 yg menyenangkan aja? hmm? setuju? setuju?
ya harus setuju lahhh..ngapain ngomongin yg susah2? capek kannn..
kaya misalnya kenapa dpr tiba2 gajinya naik 10 juta pdhl kmrn2 kan baru naik..(tanya kenapa!)
makes u wonder...jgn2..dana kompensasi bbm itu larinya ke... (buat pe-er di rumah ya!)
trus seorang kakek bernama wadiman yg meninggal krn sesak napas saat desak2an demi ambil dana kompensasi yg cuma seuprit..
atau dirjen pajak yg napsu bgt ngejar target wajib pajak 10 juta jiwa sampe org yg udah meninggal ikut2 dikirim surat npwp! (gw bisa bayangin acara misteri bakalan lebih getol, penampakan saat ngikutin roh-roh...antre bayar pajak!)

tapiiiiiiiiii...gw ga mau ngomongin itu. malessssssss...

(gw saranin buat lo-lo yg lagi sedih/murung/bete buat bikin list ini juga, drpd bengong n kesambet surat wajib pajak! nah lo!)

"when d dog bites, when d bee stings, when i'm feeling saaaadddd
i simply remember my favorite things and then i won't feel so baaaddddd..."

klo lo doyan film the sound of music, pasti tau deh lagu itu (jadul bgt yak!)
nahhh..yg membuat gw hepi itu adalah...(not in particular order)

bisa melakukan pekerjaan gw dgn baik, on time, cepet, mudah n most important thing, bener alias ga ngaco! gw paling ga tenang klo kerjaan gw ga beres n lebih panik lg klo gw ga bisa ngerjain!(hii!) jadi, klo gw bisa pulang kerja tanpa beban, i feel happy!

ngadem...as in..ngadem di ruangan ber-ac pas siang2 bolong. wahhh... rasanya nyessssssss bgt!
instant happiness!

minum es kelapa muda yang dingiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin banget atau sirop abc rasa mangga pake es byk2...segerrrrrrrr (puasa yul, puasa..)

ktmu sama temen2 lama..kayak jumat kmrn gw buk-ber ama temen kos gw dulu, trus ktmu damar (temen smp gw), trus ktmu si putri juga (my best friend since high school!). seru aja bisa ngobrol2, cerita2..mlm minggu gw buk-ber ama temen2 smp gw trus jln2 ke pim 2 (which was loaded with ABG jkt)..seneng bisa kumpul2..gw juga merasa bisa bljr banyak dr mereka krn they have different backgrounds..ada yg kerja di bank, jd psikolog, ada yg dokter, arsitek, entrepreneur, reporter, guru..makes my world colorful!

liat segerombolan bunga matahari...they never fail to make me smile!

ktmu anjing lucu...pingin piara anjing! huhuhuhu..oia, selain itu, gw juga pingin piara beruang kutub dan lumba lumba buat nemenin gw di rumah..(abis rmh gw sepii..)

pas ke mall barangnya lagi bagus2 n pas baru gajian dan pas lagi diskon gede2an (!) n pas bayar dapet hadiah pula! wahhh..passs bgt tuh...

dikasih kado yg lucuuu bgt (apaan cobaa?)!

tidur nyenyak tanpa gangguan...

makanan apapun yg diatasnya pake lelehan keju mozarella yg buanyaaaaaaaaaakkkk..bgt

ngemil banyak tapi timbangan ga naik

jalan2 ke tempat yg baru, unik, bersih, nyaman, great view, great atmosphere, great people

nyobain resto baru trus makanannya uenaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkk...(money well spent !)

ngelihat review buku 'things to do b4 30' gw di milis, website dan majalah..heehhehe...tp bener lho, gw seneng bgt. baru2 ini gw dikasih tw ditha klo buku gw ada di femina edisi lebaran. lsg deh gw beli!
norak kan...hehehehe..tp yg penting kan gw seneeeeeeeeeennnggg...

nari n main gamelan...bener lho, nari itu bikin seneng (dan bikin sakit pinggang juga!). trus udah 2 minggu ini bljr gamelan lagi. kayanya canggih bgt deh gw ! hehehe.. (tp msh kalah jago ama si bule yg mirip chris martin itu sih..)

bensin naik! mohon maap lahir batin!

2005-10-14T16:30:00.000-07:00

Sabtu, tgl 1 Oktober 2005 adalah hari yang sangat bersejarah. Karena, di hari ini sebagian besar orang Indonesia merayakan hari ‘mari yuukkk kita sumpahin pemerintah dengan kata-kata paling kotor yang ada sepuas-puasnya sebelum puasa’.

Siapa sih yg gak bete pas tau harga bensin naik jd 4500 ? Gimana sih?? Gue emang gak ngerti soal inflasi, deficit, subsidi , bla bla bla. Yang gw tau cuma harga2 bakalan naik dan itu udah cukup membuat gw stress panik keki dongkol bete sebel benci de el el. Sangat menyedihkan !
Pagi-pagi baca Koran udah dapet serangan jantung ! 4500 ! r u kidding??

Begini ya , gw bener2 kecewa dengan kenaikan harga bensin ini. Dan menurut gw, gak perlu repot-repot lah bikin pernyataan sekitar ½ halaman di Kompas dengan judul ‘Kita Bantu Rakyat Miskin’ dihiasi foto sby yg sedang memandang entah kemana ( pengarah gayanya siapa sih pak?). Karena terus terang, pernyataan itu sangat tidak menghibur (kecuali klo guntingan koran itu bisa dipake buat beli bensin gratis !). Dan sbg rakyat indonesia yg kreatip, judul itu telah diparodikan jadi ‘Mari Kita Bantu Rakyat Menjadi Lebih Miskin’. Nah, gak indah bukan??? saran gw buat pemerintah , lain kali cari judul yang gak bisa diplesetin dong.. ! Trus knp sih mesti naikin bensin passssssss mau puasa? Kenapaaaaaaaaaa..?? tau gak sih, gw kan ga dpt thr krn msh probation??? duh!
tp mungkin gw tau knp ! mungkin pemerintah memberikan waktu bbrp hari bagi penduduknya untuk mencaci maki habis2an sebelum ramadhan trus membersihkan diri dari dosa dengan berpuasa. Atau..mungkin pas lebaran nanti mau buat pernyataan lagi di koran bertuliskan,” bensin naik ! mohon maap lahir batin!”

Dear pak sby, kalo bapak sedang membaca blog saya saat ini, ada satu hal yang sangat ingin saya tanyakan pada bapak dari lubuk hati yg paling dalam, yaitu,”Lha? Bapak ikutan friendster juga toh ? Add saya dong pak!” Saya pasti kagum klo bapak ikutan friendster. Tnyta bapak gaul juga ya ! Pokoknya bpk harus add saya, karena saya gak sabar kepingin isi testi yang panjaaaaaaaaaaaaannnggg banget buat bapak .

Salam

jinny oh jinny..

2005-10-13T21:39:00.001-07:00

Gue gak takut sama yang namanya hantu, karena hantu itu ga ada. Gw juga gak takut sama yg namanya jin, walopun gw tau mereka ada. Kenapa gw tau? Karena di rumah gw (dulu) ada jinnya. (sumpah gw ga boong. Boleh tanya ama org2 di rumah untuk memastikan kebenarannya!)

Rumah yg skrg gw tinggalin ini, dibangunnya sekitar akhir 80-an. Tapii, gw sekeluarga selalu tinggal di rumah dinas, jadi dulu rumah gw ini sempat ditinggali sodara, dikontrakin, dan pernah kosong juga. Sbtlnya gossip ada jin di rumah ini udah ada waktu sodara gw tinggal di sini. Dia pernah cerita ma nyokap klo malem2 ada suara ngorok (!) di kamar sebelah (pdhl di rumah tuh ga ada siapa2 !). Cuma nyokap gw ga pcaya n mikirnya sodara gw cuma ketakutan aja tinggal sendirian di situ. Bbrp tahun stlh itu, rumah gw kosong dan biasanya tiap minggu ortu dateng buat ngeberesin rumah.

Suatu hari, bokap gw ke rumah sendirian. Pas dia lagi asik2 ngepel, tau-tau…SIM SALABIM! Lap pelnya ilang ! Bokap kaget dong. Tapi dia sok cuek n ngambil lap pel lain trus mulai ngepel lagi. Gak berapa lama kemudian…ABRAKADABRA! Lap pelnya ilang lagi ! Bokap lsg ngibrit pergi (entah krn takut atw krn keabisan lap pel!) n bikin pernyataan resmi klo rumah ini berpenghuni. Pas rumah itu mau dikontrakin, ortu gw nge-cek kondisi rumah. Ternyata, wc di kamar mandi tengah mampet. Hmm..mungkin pipanya rusak. Dipanggillah tukang buat ngebenerin. Selidik punya selidik… ternyata ga ada yg rusak..cuma…ada 2 gulungan lap pel di dlm pipanya !

Nyokap baru bener2 pcaya klo rumahnya tercinta ini dihuni oleh jin yang usil n punya bakat jadi si komeng ‘uhuuuyyy..!’. menurut nyokap, mungkin krn rumah ini ga pernah disolatin. Jadilah dia sibuk sholat di tiap ruangan sambil nitip pesen,”klo kmu jahat, pergi dari sini ! klo baik mah, mangga we..(lumayan kali ada satpam gratis)”

Selama rumah ini dikontrakin, gw ga pernah denger ada masalah. Sekitar th 95-an, gw sekeluarga pindah ke sini. Tahun pertama sih, ga ada kejadian aneh (walopun nyokap sempat heran knp bunga sepatu warna putih di halaman belakang berganti warna jadi merah putih pas deket2 17-an). Nah, pas gw lg mau ebtanas.. kan gw pny kebiasaan belajar jam 2 dini hari. Jadi malemnya gw tidur dulu. Krn gw tidurnya ky kebo, wekernya mesti yg kencengnya se-RT dong. Minggu2 ptama, gw bisa bangun dgn sukses. Pas bsoknya mau ebtanas…gw bangun. Tapi..kok kayanya udah agak terang ya di luar ? gw cari tu weker di meja samping..lha! kok ga ada? Gw jalan ke ruang tengah nyari jam. Tnyata..udah jam 5 lewat! Pdhl gw mesti brkt jam 6 kurang ! gila bgt kan tuh! Ga sempet belajar bo! Alhasil gw lsg ke kamar si teteh, siap2 mw ngamuk, krn gw yakin dia yg ambil (abis, siapa lg coba?). tp di kamar dia juga gak ada. Kmana ya….tau-tau… TIK TOK TIK TOK ! kenceeeeeeeeeeeeeeng bgt bunyi tik toknya. Pdhl, ga pernah tu weker bunyi tik tok bgitu! Gw cari2 kan. Mana ya? Semakin deket ke kamar gw, bunyi tik toknya makin kenceng. Dimana? Dimana? Klo jatuh dr meja kan mestinya di bawah sini, di samping tempat tidur. Wong wekernya besi bgitu, ga mungkin mental kmana2 kan? Lagian pasti kacanya pecah. Ga taunya…jreng jreng jreng! Weker besi gw ada di kolong tempat tidur, di sudut paling pojok, berdiri tegak, tanpa lecet sedikitpun!

Bbrp lama stlh itu, ada lg kjadian aneh. Suatu hari, gw lg tidur di kamar teteh. Tau-tau.., ada yg ngegubrak pintu. GUBRAK! GUBRAK! Sumpah gw pikir tu pintu mw roboh. Abis keras bgt ky mw didobrak ! si teteh dgn pedenya lsg teriak,”Buka aja mah! Gak dikunci kok (krn nyokap suka bangunin buat solat subuh)”. Hening. Sunyi. Senyap. Teteh buka pintu, celingukan, ga ada siapa2. trus dia ngiter ruang tengah, ada bokap. “Pak! Tadi gedor2 pintu ya?” “enggak.” Kata bokap. Lha…siapa yg gedor ya? Teteh balik ke kamar. Diem. Semenit. Dua menit. Tiga menit. “De! Lo denger ga tadi?” “Iya, gw denger.” “Ya ampuuunnnn! Kirain cuma gw doang yg denger!” trus si teteh lsg tidur dgn pulesnya. Ternyata dia cuma mau mastiin dirinya gak gila.

Tapi si jin ini pernah baik lho.. yah, gw ga tau pasti apakah dia yg melakukan ini. tp entah knp, qta sekeluarga mikirnya ya..dia. Ceritanya waktu itu plaza senayan baru jadi, trus gw sekluarga ke sana. Nah, pas gw di toilet, cincin gw gelinding n nyemplung masuk ke lubang di kamar mandi. Mau diambil gak mungkin lah..dan berhubung bukan cincin emas berlian, gw ga maksa nge-bor tu toilet. Jadi ya gw tinggal aja, walopun gw suka bgt ma tu cincin. Passs seminggu stlh kjadian itu..tau-tau..eng ing eng…!!! Cincin itu dgn manis, cantik dan bersihnya ada di meja rias nyokap gw! Ck ck ck..hebaaaaaaaattt! plok plok plok! Suit suiiiiiiiiiitt..!! si teteh sempet ngusulin,”coba lo buang ke laut. dibalikin ga ya?”

Sbtlnya pnglman2 itu lucu juga ya, walopun pd saat itu sempat bikin gw sebel. Untunglah keluarga gw ga takut ama yg bgituan, jd qta cuek2 aja tinggal di sini. Buat yg pingin main ke rmh gw, ga usah takut lahh..lagian udah lama ga pernah ada kjadian2 aneh lagi di rumah gw. Cuma ya orang2nya aja yg aneh..hehehehe.

Tau gak gimana caranya supaya abis buka puasa gak langsung zzzzzzzz……???

Sejak hari pertama puasa, gw tuh bener2 ga tahan ngantuk ! Boro2 mw tarawih. Nonton tivi aja ga sanggup ! Ngantuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuukkkk bgt ! asumsi gw, ini gara2 perut kekenyangan krn kbanyakan makan. Abis gmn dong… kan laperr…huhuhu..

Wik-en ini kayanya cepet bgt ya. Blom puas leha2, ehh udah mw senen lg! ampuunn… Jumat kmrn gw bener2 frustasi gara2 komp ga bisa nge-print. Senin bsok gmn ya? My life depends on it ! Duhhh..mana helpdesk di ktr gw tuh sama sekali ga membantu. Pusing!

Plg kantor gw lsg ngacir ke hard rock café di plaza ex buat ngejar nonton Gigi yg lagi promo album (repackage) ‘raihlah kemenangan’. Gw kepingin bgt liat (n denger) armand nyanyi jd ya gw emang niat utamanya bukan liat press conference. Eeeehhhhhh…ga taunya mereka ga manggung which means armand gak bakalan nyanyi ! huhuhu..kecewaaaaaaaa…kecewaaaa.. Tp lumayanlah bisa liat personil GIGI krn gw jd tau klo dewa bujana itu ga tinggi dan armand looks better in real life ! Ehhh.. trus gw baru tau klo wartawan itu sigap bgt ya..bukan sigap ambil gambar, tapi sigap ambil makanan! Mungkin krn lg puasa ya..kikikkk..Cuma gw sempat bete soalnya udah kayak mau rebutan minyak aja! Untung gw lebih sigap ! hehehehehe….oia, gw sempat foto2 di hard rock..norak ya..sempat tengsin diliatin org2..tp cuek deh! gw yakin yg lain juga pingin foto2 cuma not gutsy enough aja, hehehe…(btw, hasil fotonya lucu juga tuh..)

Sabtu kmrn si babeh ke cimahi trus gw ma teteh nebeng ke bandung. Awalnya qta leyeh2 di rumah emak di cipaganti, trus inget mesti balik jam 2 jd qta lsg panik bikin rencana jalan2 kilat. First stop : anata salon di setiabudi. Lho? Iya nih, emang si teteh ada2 aja kpingin potong rambut di bandung. Hasilnya oke juga sih. Lumayan.. mana murah lagi! si teteh lsg ngapalin nama hair stylistnya ( tp gw yakin bsok juga dia lupa ! ). klo gw sih..cukup pijat refleksi, hehehehe.. iseng amat ya ! abis nyalon, qta dijemput tovic trus jalan2 ke ciwalk. Oia, tovic ini salah satu org yg paling berjasa dalam karir gw krn dia mau nerima gw kerja di kantornya ! hehehehee.. waduh vic, maap ya klo dulu gw kacau bgt ga bisa apa2 ! untung ada lo yg selalu membela gw, hehehe. gw juga kagum bgt sama si tovic. Pertama, karena dia pinter bgt but never brags about it. Kedua, krn dia masih betah aja nangkring di telkom ! ck ck ck…dibayar brp sih vic? Loyalitas lo tinggi ya. Where’s ur sense of adventure?? Bandingkan dgn gw yg tiap taun beda nama perusahaan !! Hehehehehe…ampun vic, ampuuuunnnn…

Ehhh…klo ada yg kpingin dpt uang kaget buat lebaran, caranya gampang tuh.. tangkep aja buron bom bali 2002.(gosipnya, mereka lg liburan di mindanao) Kan amrik mw ngasih imbalan 11 juta dollar tuh..10 juta klo dpt dulmatin, 1 jt klo dpt umar patek.( klo gw jd si umar pasti gw bete. “Sialan! Gw cuma dihargai 1 juta ! “) ayo..ayo.. who wants to be a millionaire? (berita selkpnya baca kompas sabtu kmrn!) Aneh ya, knp amrik sibuk ngurusin bom bali. Wong pelaku bom wtc aja ga ktmu! Ck ck ck… gw jd inget sama bang osama . sbtlnya bener ga sih dia dalangnya? yg bener sih, dia ini lebih hebat dari david copperfield. buktinya, klo si david mah cuma bisa ngilang bbrp detik. lha si om osama ini ampe bertaun-taun ga ktauan ada di mana ! hebat kan? mestinya dia jd tukang sulap aja. Hii..kok jd ngelantur bgini ya? abis gw sebel tiap liat berita di koran/tivi klo ga ngomongin flu burung, bom bali part 2 (saking ngetopnya mesti dibuat sekuelnya), gempa di islamabad, atau dana kompensasi bbm yg sumpah gw ga tega bgt liat segerombolan kakek-nenek bdesakan demi duit 3oorb buat 3 bulan. worth it gak sih? yahhhh..gw emang gak cukup pintar buat ngomongin hal-hal ky bgini. Tapi gw cukup jeli ngeliat kalung manik2 yg super lucu di ciwalk kemaren.(lho?) Bener tauk! kalungnya lucuuu bangeeeeettt ! mana murah lagi ! gw lsg beli dua ! asik asik asik asik asik asik….

Hmmm..kynya gw mulai ngantuk nih jd ngomongnya kmana2.. mungkin krn mabok kolak pisang jd rada ngaco, hehehehe..apa seeeeeehhh??? Oh well… bye bye for now..cheers!

la..la...la..

2005-10-13T21:37:00.000-07:00

Heihooo…

Gmn hari pertama puasanya? Klo gw sih..ya..spt yg sudah diprediksi sejak jauh-jauh hari, pas buka lsg ky org ngamuk gtu..he3..ampunn..ampunn.. semoga pahala gw ga berkurang gara2 kerakusan gw..amiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnn

Bbrp hari yg lalu gw baru ngalamin yg namanya dpt paket distribusi dr kantor. Ternyata..isinya banyak bgt ya. Pdhl yg bulan2 kmrn blom gw ambil, baru yg oktober doang ! Pertama kali nyampe meja, gw lsg penasaran n ga sabaran gw buka, pingin tau isinya apa aja..siapa tau ada kalung berlian atau apa lah…ternyata.. timbunan sabun lux dan rinso (!). Panik, gw lsg teriak2, “buat apa? buat apa?” Mas totok lsg memberi saran,”buka warung aja!” Pas buka dus kedua yg tnyta blue band semua, gw teriak2 lg,”buat apa? buat apa?” Pak Ricky lsg dtg memberi solusi,” buat bikin kue yul!”

Masih blum puas teriak2, gw teriak lagi,”bawanya gmn? Gmn?” “Ya gampang. Cari aja om-om yg mw bawain.”jawab si kelik. Hmmmmmmmm.. menurut gw, ini bukan solusi yg baik. Knp? Krn di sini lebih banyak abang-abang drpd om2. Yah..pasti ujung2nya gw minta jemput teteh atw bokap. Tapi cara nuruninnya gimana ya? Apa gw lempar aja lewat jendela? Brp ya kecepatan dus ini dr lt 12? Hmmmmmmmm…..kayaknya ga mungkin deh..klo si teteh disuruh nangkepin dus di bawah, dia pasti ga kuat. Klo dilempar satu-satu gmn? Hmmm..

Alhasil, stlh memandangi dus-dus ajaib dengan penuh rasa kagum, gw memutuskan untuk membiarkannya menumpuk di bawah meja. Yah..siapa tau pas gw dtg bsok, dus ajaib itu bisa berubah jadi baju n kue lebaran (mejik!).

Selain dus2 sembako itu, masih ada satu dus lagi yg isinya mixer buat ngaduk adonan. Lho? Kok bisa? Mmm..sbtlnya mixer ini hadiah dr acara outbond 2 minggu lalu. Hadiah apa? mmmmmmmm… hadiah krn gw berhasil jd orang paling malu2in di acara itu ! Hiiii… gaaaaaakkkk, gw gak mw cerita! Enak aja lo! Pokoknya nista bgt deh..hehehehe. Intinya, dlm sekejap, gw lsg jadi ngetop krn insiden 22 sept itu. Anywaaaaayyyyyyy….(alihkan phatian !) mixer ini rencananya akan gw hadiahin buat emak gw krn klo buat gw ya gak guna juga gtu loh…apalagi motto hidup gw adlh “gak bakalan belajar masak sebelum dilamar” . Jadi yaaa…buat nyokap kan lebih bermanfaat. Dan pas gw cerita ke bo-nyok, mrka jd semangat bgt nyuruh gw bawa dus2 itu ke rumah. Duileeee… klo dpt gratisan aja, semangaattttt…!!!(gw juga sih..he3)

Oia, buat yg lg nyari kado buat pacar/pasangan/gebetan/org2 yg lo sayangin (taela!), gw pny usul yg sangat bagus, yaitu beliin buku ! Bukaaaaaaaaannnn… bukan buku gw.. (tp beli buku gw juga gpp kok! sangat dianjurkan malah !). Judul nya ‘Cinta itu adalah kau dan aku’ (love is me n u) karangan Ashley Rice. Sbtlnya sih isinya ga penting bgt dan baca 10 menit juga beres !tp kata2nya tuh lucu bgt ! gw ma teteh lsg jatuh cinta ama buku ini n qta sempet rebut2an (pdhl sama2 udah baca) trus baca keras2 ber ulang2 (gila ya qta). We even read it to each other ! wawaaaaaaaaa… si teteh malah selalu bawa2 ni buku setiap mw bobo (dia pikir guling kali!). anywayyy… the words can make u smile n want to read it over n over n over…. Favorit gw adlh:

“untukmu, segalanya akan kulakukan

misalnya, akan kubersihkan rumahmu..

akan kucucikan mobilmu..

atw menangkap capung untukmu ! (??)

akan kuberikan apapun yg kudapat

tapiii,untuk mlakukan semua ini

aku harus sangat suka padamu dulu..

(dan memang aku suka padamu!)”

Awwwwwwwwwww…..co kyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttt…!! Kikikikkk..

Oke, mungkin klo cowok yg nerima buku ini as a gift gak bakalan kleper2 ky gw n teteh. Jadi mungkiiiiin, sebaiknya lo-lo yg cowo aja beliin buat cewenya ! ayo..ayo..belii!! murah kok cuma 18ribu! Make ur loved ones happy ! cheers..!

how saaaaaddd.....!!!

2005-10-03T22:32:00.000-07:00

another monday...hu3

jumat kmrn gw pny byk rencana, yaitu jln2 ke bdg seharian di hari sabtu, trus nonton launch album the brandalls di hari minggu. tapiii..ya cuma rencana doang ! kenyataannya, hr sabtu gw n the gank (baca: bokap, nyokap, teteh) makan siang di papadam trus gw n teteh jln2 bentar ke plangi. ( iklan : klo lo doyan makan kari/gule yg bumbunya berasaaaa bgt, makan di papadam deh ! makanan india gtu n yummy bgt. trus yg paling enak itu papadam yg di citos krn menunya lkp n bisa icip2 sblm beli!)

oia, pas di plangi gw ngeliat ada cowo lucuuuuuu bgt... wahhh klo inget dia gw jd senyum2. abis gmanaaaa gtu..he3. gw sempet malu sih gara2 temen2 dia nyadar bgt klo gw ngecengin si cowo itu. alhasil mereka rajin ngawasin gw ! hu-uh ! ga bisa liat org lain seneng !

anywayyy... lo tau kan klo breadtalk udah dpt logo halal dr MUI? nah, pas tau, gw lsg semangat ngasih tau temen2 gw. tp tanggapan mereka rata2,"so what? kmrn2 juga gw makan kok, ga pk nunggu halal!" hu3.. tp gw seneng ama roti breadtalk, nyam nyam..roti boy juga...uenaaaakkkkk.. (dr td kok ngomongin makanan ya?)

sejak bbm dinyatakan naik, gw mulai mengatur strategi. misalnya, lsg beli sepatu 2 pasang (krn klo ditunda-tunda kan ntar lebih mahaaaaaaalllll...!!) trusss.. skrg mata gw udah ga warna-warni lagi krn soft lense bening lebih murah ! hebaaattt..hebaattt..plok plok plok !

sbtlnya klo urusan hemat sih gw udah tbiasa. ortu gw bukanlah ortu yg mau beliin anaknya apa aja. pasti susah deh klo minta apa2 sama ortu gw ! gw inget bgt, waktu msh TK, gw minta dibeliin sepeda roda tiga. trus ama ortu gw malah dikasi celengan (!) sambil bilang,"ayo nabung ya buat beli sepeda." stlh celengan gw penuh, baru deh dibeliin tu sepeda. sbtlnya gw sangsi jumlah gocapan dan jigoan di celengan gw itu apa cukup ya buat beli sepeda? trus waktu gw SD pingin pny kamera buat foto2, nyokap lsg nge-diskon uang jajan gw buat "ditabung untuk beli kamera". Intinya, gw gak mungkin dapet sesuatu tanpa berkorban alias 'nabung yok nabung'. Ga ada tuh cerita gw nangis2 sambil guling2 di lantai supaya dibeliin sesuatu. Mau jungkir balik ky gmn pun ortu gw mah gak bakalan ngasih! Jadi, buat apa buang2 energi ? Makanya gw suka takjub klo temen2 gw dibeliin mobil, pda, handycam, dll. Klo gw sih, boro2!! Mungkin ortu gw ini bisa melihat masa depan.. mungkin mereka tau harga bbm bakal naik ky skrg ini makanya gw diajarin nabung dr kecil. Hebat kan? (sbtlnya nyebelin sih)

ohia..akhir bulan ini gw harus presentasi di kantor. (doain ya spy sukses...) sejak minggu lalu gw udah panic attack n sok sibuk nanya2 bahan n tips trik ama bos gw, mas totok (guru gw!), sufi, agus, teteh, bokap, nyokap, bantal, tivi, pokoknya siapa aja yg mau dengerin rengekan gw ! gw bingung bgt nihhhh.. sbtlnya gw udah dijadwalin buat konsultasi dulu ama tante ellen (hrd) sebelum prstsi ntar. tp kynya dia lg sibuk jd tertunda...tolooonnngggg..panik nih paniikkkk...!! saking pusingnya mesti nyiapin bahan, akhirnya gw nulis2 blog! lho??

beneran lho gw sbtlnya stress bgt mikirin ini. gw merasa ga siap bgt..apalagi gw tuh paling ga jago presentasi. duhhhhhhhh...deg2an booo!! doain ya doain ya doain ya doain ya

ps : klo pny contoh presentasi yg bagus n menarik, kasih gw dong...!! pingin nyontekkkk..

boy oh boy oh boy..

2005-10-01T05:06:00.000-07:00

Belakangan ini ada bbrp temen yg nanya,’kok msh ga pnycowo sih? Tlalu pilih2 ya?’

Hmmmmmm
Bingung gw jawabnya

Sbtlnya, gw ga pny kriteria khusus dlm mencari cowok.Yahh..pinginnya sih dapet yanggantengbaiksopanpinterramahsupelkreatipgaulenakdiajakngobrolperhatian
penyayangkayamapandst…Tapii..tau sendiri lah susahnya cari yg ky bgitu.Klopun ada, biasanya mereka punya cewek yangcantiksexylangsingkerenbaikrajinsenyumramahpinterngetopjagomasak
aduhaibikinsiriklakilakilain. tul gak? tul gak?

Menurut gw, klo mau dapetin ‘soul mate’ ya haruspilih2. lha, mau beli sepatu aja milih2 dulu, apalaginyari cowok, ya ga? Saran gw adalah, jgn sembarangannyari, no matter how desperate (and old) u are !Mungkin salah satu kendala gw adalah, gw bukan cewekyg suka diatur-atur, dilarang2, apalagi disuruh2 ! misalnya:

Cowo gw (diperankan oleh akang keanu reeves) : “de!Beliin batagor dong di pasar mayestik sana ! janganlupa saosnya yg banyak n jgn pk jeruk nipis !”
Gw : ha?
Cowo gw : “beliin batagor ! trus sekalian deh amasate ayam 10 tusuk plus es cendol elizabeth dan esputer pake duren sekalian! klo duitnya kurang tambahinsendiri!”
Gw : *$?@#$!!!

Trusss.. menurut gw, 90% cowo yg pernah gw temui itu kurang pengertian dan gak perhatian.

Contoh kasus:
Gw : cowogw, aku abis kerja lembur ampe jam 3 subuhmau pulang gak dapet taxi gak ada yg anter lagi ujanderas bgt byk petir guntur guruh mega soekarno dan adatopan badai katrina, banjir 2 meter di atas kepalaplus gempa tektonik skala richter 7. Jemput gw dong !
Cowo gw (kali ini diperankan oleh craig david) : sorry, no can do babe ! sibuk nih
Gw : sibuk apa?
Cowo gw : nonton bola !
Gw : @#$*^@* !!!

Jadiii..klo ada yg bilang gw ini punya kriteriatinggi, jawabannya adalah..mungkin juga sih..he3..
sbtlnya gw ga cari yg aneh2 kok
if i could find someone whom i would feel most comfortable with, then there's noone else i'd rather be than be with him. it's that simple ! ( tp ga byk org yg bisa ky gini, trust me!)

peringatan ! : rata2 cowo itu baik pas pdkt doang! BEWARE OF THE REAL PERSON BENEATH!

bis sialan yang kutunggu..kutunggu..

2005-10-01T05:04:00.000-07:00

Dicari : cowok/cewek (siapa aja deh) yang berbaik hatimau anter jemput gw setiap hari naik mobil nyamanber-ac dengan jok empuk bisa buat tidur2an sambildengerin musik dan nonton dvd.
Klo ada yg berpikir gw ini matre, berarti org itu blumpernah ngerasain naik bis di jakarta raya indonesia(tidak) jaya.

Cuma ada satu kata yg bisa mendeskripsikan pengalamannaik bis di ibukota yg penuh polusi ini : ‘merana’.Say what? Merana. Apa? Merana. Sekali lagi ! Merana .Yang sebelah sana mana suaranya? MERANAAAAAAAA…!!!!

Sungguh daku tidak berbohong klo gw kepingiiiiiinbanget gak naik bis di jakarta. Klo di London, okelah… (walaupun gw ga tau ky apa, tp pasti better thanPPD dan mikrolet!). Kadang2 gw sendiri merasa kagumama diri gw sendiri krn mau naik bis. Alasan gw relaber-bis ria adalah:
1. klo naik taxi tiap hari boros bgt (mending buatmakan), apalagi skrg bensin naik !
2. tabungan gw ga cukup buat nyicil mobil
3. bokap gw ga cukup kasian melihat anaknya kepejretdi dlm bis untuk ngebeliin mobil

jadi emang udah suratan takdir gw harus menderitaberakrab ria dengan angkutan umum. Makanya klo ada orgyg nanya,”kok lo males dandan sih de?’, gw suka sebel.lha, what’s the point gtu loh? Mau dandan ky gmn juga,bgitu lo naik bis ya wassalam aja. Rambut ngacirkemanaa, bedak berganti debu, baju kusut.. useless bgtdeh. Boro-boro pny pikiran mau ngeceng di kantor! Yangpenting mah, selamat sampe tujuan aja lah! Tau sendirikan rata2 sopir bus punya mental pembalap F1 ygbawaannya pingin ngebut dan nyalip. Pokoknya setiapnaik bis, banyak2 dzikir dehhh…

kdg2 gw suka sediiiiiihhhh bgt klo naik bis.Contoh kasus : suatu hari gw pulang kerja malem, abislembur. Waktu itu kantor gw masih di daerah pondok indah. Nah,bis yg ke arah rmh gw tuh cuma ada dua, satu AC dansatu lagi metro mini. Gw jarang bgt naik yg metromini,soalnya 70% penumpangnya berwajah kriminal. Sayangnya,bis Acnya itu munculnya suka-suka. Klo pingin dtg yadtg, klo lg bete ya dia ga dtg2. saking jarangnya dianongol, sekalinya ada, pasti penuhhh bgt. Dan gwselalu naik bis itu dgn gaya bangau alias berdiri pakesatu kaki (sumpah ini true story!) saking penuhnya gtuloh! klo lo mikir gmn cara menjaga keseimbangan berdiri gaya bangau, jawabannya adalah: sangat mudah ! caranya : pastikan penumpang di sekeliling memejret anda hingga megap2 kekurangan oksigen. dijamin anda gak akan jatuh, meskipun bis nge-rem mendadak sekalipun ! yulia's believe it or not!

Anywayyy.. pas hari itu gw lg capeeee bgt, dan blue bird itu susah bgt dicari. Akhirnya, gw naik bisAC yg stlh 1 jam nunggu, dtg tergopoh-gopoh krnkeberatan penumpang. Pas gw naik, tnyata gak cuma gwyg naik, ada bbrp org di blkg gw yg dorong2 maksapingin naik. Pdhl udah gak muat lg ! akhirnya muka ,tangan dan setengah badan gw pun dgn suksesnya nemplokdi jendela depan kayak boneka tempel buat di kacamobil. Betapa cantiknya gw! Selama perjalanan, gw nemplokaja gtu di jendela ky telor ceplok. nempel,gak bisa bergerak. Nah, selamaperjalanan itu gw ngeliatin mobil2 di samping dan adamobil sedan berisi dua penumpang lg ngobrol sambil ktawa2. Sumpah detik itu gw rasanya kepingin nangisbombay saking sedihnya (sensi bgt ya gw). Pdhl tuhsedan biasa aja, bukan mercy atw apa lah. Cuma gwsedih aja krn mereka tuh ga menderita ky gw. Sempet sih gw menitikkan air mata, tp bener2 cuma setitik, ga pkkoma atau tanda seru, karena gw lsg sadar klo ternyatagaya gw yg kayak cicak kepejret di jendela ini jadi atraksi yg sangat menarik danjadi tontonan khalayak ramai ! oh nasib…

pernah juga gw ngalamin kejebak macet 3 jam (iya benertiga jam!) di dalam metro mini. Jd waktu itu lg ujanderas dan gw ga bisa milih2 mw naik apa. Pokoknyaapapun yg dtg lsg gw naik. Nahhh…di dlm metro mini(qta singkat jd mm) yg bodynya udah mencong ke kirikaya menara pisa saking byknya org yg bergelantunganinilah tiga jam dari masa hidup gw di dunia ituberlangsung. 20 mnit, 30 menit, sejam…setelah sejamsetengah, org2 mulai capek dan keluar dr mm dan duduk2di trotoar (ujannya udah reda) sambil ngobrol2 danmerokok. Tau2, setelah lebih dr 3 jam, mobil2 disamping mm mulai berjalan ! smua penumpang lsg kembalike posisi semula. Yang tadinya gelantungan kembaligelantungan, yg tdinya kepejret kembali kepejret, ygtdnya bau kelek kembali bau kelek. Setelah semuamerasa udah siap di tempat masing2, kokkk..mmnya ga jalan2 ya.. apamogok?? Apa bannya kempes krn keberatan beban?Bukaaaannn…bukan itu jawabannya..yang bener adalah:..si sopir masih ngopi2 dulu di warung !aaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh…!!!

Itulah. Itulah knp gw kepingin bgt ada yg mau anterjemput gw pk mobil nyaman ber-ac dengan jok empuk bisabuat tidur2an sambil dengerin musik dan nonton dvd.Klo lo pengguna bis di jkt spt gw, u’ll understand why!

RALAT ! RALAT !

2005-10-01T05:03:00.000-07:00

Mohon maap bagi para pembaca blog gw yg sebelumnya. Itu loh..yang cerita ttg gw nge-intvw anak AFI. stlh gw ngobrol2 ama tomiboi yg emang ngefansdancintabanget sama AFI, gw baru tau klo yg gw intvw kmrn itu bukan tiwi, tapi..YONGKI!(bener gak tom? bener ga???) jauh amat ya dari tiwi ke yongki? anywaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy.... terbukti sudah klo gw ini bukan penggemar setia AFI kaaaaaaaaaannnn???huhuuhuu... Maap..maappppphhhh... kesimpulannya: mesti lebih rajin nonton AFI..huhuhu...inilah akibatnya klo tlalu setia pada tv kabel !(abis acara lokal ga ada yg beres siy, tul gak??tul gak ???)

oh..monday blues..!

2005-10-01T05:01:00.000-07:00

Pagi tadi gw ga byk kerjaan, nyantai abis lah..sekitar jam 2, gw ditelp tomiboi buat ngacir sebentar ke ph ngeliat launching album AFI 2005. nyampe di
sana, ada rieka roeslan (eks the groove itu loh)trus qta lsg misuh-misuh n rapat mendadak dengan tema: gimana caranya nge-intvw rieka? Stlh ribut2 kecil, suruh2an, dorong2an, doa2an, qta b2 ngedeketin rieka dan ternyata, dia ramah bgt ! selesai ngobrol2 ga jelas (ga ada psiapan bgt bo!!)n foto ama rieka, gw balik ke kantor (rajin ya gw, hehehe). Sampe kantor, gw memutuskan untuk ke poliklinik krn kepala gw pusing n rd mual. Dgn pedenya gw masuk ke poli n bilang mw ktmu dokter.
Suster : ”Mbak mau ke dokter?”
Gw : “Iya. Saya gak enak badan nih.”
Suster :“Kerja di sini mbak?”
Gw (sambil nunjuk2 id dgn sewot) :“Iya ! Ini id saya !”
Suster (raut muka bingung sambil ngeliatin id gw) : “Mmmm”
Gw (baru nyadar klo id yang gw pake bukan id kantor tp id explore magz) : “Oalaahh..”
Suster ( senyum penuh kemenangan) :”Tuh kan..”
Gw (malu abis pengen nangis) :”Maap ya mbak..salah id..hehehe..”
pelajaran pertama hari ini : sesuaikan id card dengan gedung yang anda masuki !
Pas mau pulang kantor, gw sempetin mampir lagi ke ph. Tnyata panggung udah kosong tp msh ada sesi intvw ama anak2 AFI di ruang atas. Sbtlnya gw bukanlah penggemar AFI, jadi yaaa..gw ga kenal sama satupun finalis AFI yang gw temui itu! Untung ada tomiboi yang cintamati sama AFI, jd gw sok pede aja nge-intvw tiwi, salah satu anak AFI itu. Setelah ngobrol ngalor ngidul, gw tanya dia paling deket ama siapa di AFI.
Tiwi : “ama dewa.”
Gw (sambil cengarcengir kuda dan senyum menggoda minta ditimpuk) :”kalo ceweknya, siapaaaaaaaa???”
Tiwi (bingung) :”lho, dewa kan cewek????”
Gw (kagetbinsyok) :”Oalahhhhh…(baca: sumprit gw malu banget pingin nyusruk ke bawah meja sambil nutupin muka pake kantong kresek)”
pelajaran kedua hari ini : nama dewa itu ternyata unisex !
Oh well…segitu aja cerita hari Senin gw. Smoga bsok2 better than today !!!

my super duper power

2005-10-01T05:00:00.001-07:00

Gue punya kekuatan superduper. Kekuatan super duper gw adalah : bisa makan terus-terusan dari pagi sampe malem tanpa merasa kenyang sedikitpun! Hebat bukan? Ajaib bukan ? Sejujurnya, gw gak bangga sama sekali sama kekuatan superduper ini. Klo cowo makan banyak sih, gpp (malah bangga!). Lha, klo cewek makannya banyak kan keliatannya gak imut banget ! Gue yakin seyakin-yakinnya kalo kemampuan mengunyah tanpa henti ini adalah warisan dari bokap gw yang suka keringetan tiap abis makan. Sayangnya kekuatan bokap gw ini dilumpuhkan oleh kapten diabetes mellitus yang mengharuskan dia jauh-jauh dari kue dan gula. Dan lebih disayangkan lagi, kemampuan super dupernya ini diturunkan pada anaknya yang paling bontot, yaitu gue. Sbg cewek normal, gw pingin terlihat cantikmenariksexykerenaduhaicesplongtopbangetdehpokoknya. Tapi gimana caranya klo makan gw barbar bgini ya? Duhhh..gak anggun c sasmi banget deh gw.. Efek dari kegiatan kunyah-mengunyah ini udah mulai kelihatan..terutama, di bagian yang paling gw sebelin : pipi gw!!!Pipi gw. Pipi gw .Pipi gw. Klo Titi Kamal dianugrahi body sexy, gw dikasih pipi tembem. Betapa menyenangkan dan indahnya dunia ini! Gw sebeeeellll banget liat muka gw nan bulet bagai bakpauw ayam ekstra isi 50% ini. Huhhhhh…sebelsebelsebel!! Harus diet nihhhh…haruuuuuuuusssssssssss….. (ahh..nulis panjang2 ky bgini bikin gw laper..cheese stick tadi mana ya???)

yulia dari explore

Gue baru tau klo jadi reporter itu asik juga. Well, setidaknya jadi reporter dadakan kayak gw ini. Beruntunglah gw karena pny temen yang bikin majalah nun jauh di Surabaya sehingga klo ada liputan di Jakarta, gue bisa bantuin dikit-dikit dan ganti profesi jadi jurnalis (!). Awalnya gw gak pede dateng ke acara kayak begini soalnya gak punya press id (takut diusir gw !). Tapi, setelah dibuatin id oleh Explore Mags, gw mulai berani tampil (to Dyah : id cardnya bagus juga tuh). Liputan pertama : konser amal untuk Chrisye di rcti. Tadinya gw sempat gak yakin mau dateng gara-gara nungguin supplier di kantor. Untung dia dateng n bisa cepet-cepet beresin kerjaan dan jadilah gw telpon si teteh (kk gw) buat nganterin ke rcti yang notabene lumayan deket ama rumah gw.

Pas nyampe di ruang serba guna rcti, gw ma teteh ( seorang stylist yg biasanya gaya klo ke acara fashion show) kayak alien di antara kerumunan wartawan lainnya. Bayangin aja : nyaris semua reporter yg dateng berpakaian hitam-hitam (emang ada dress code-nya ya?) sedangkan gw n teteh ber-pink ria plus kalung bola-bola warna-warni menjuntai panjang dengan sepatu flats model ballet ! Mau gak mau kita kelihatan ‘kinclong plok plong’ dan menyingkir ke pojokan berdua untuk menghindari ketenaran yang berlebihan. Setelah nunggu-nunggu lmyn lama, para reporter plus dua cewek ‘kinclong plok plong’ ini digiring ke sebuah tenda ber-ac yang diisi kursi-kursi plus gubuk makanan (kayak kawinan) dan disuruh nunggu lagi ! Ternyata kita gak bisa masuk ke studio berbarengan karena gak bakalan muat. Jadilah semua digilir buat masuk : “Kelompok 1 masuk! Kelompok 2 nunggu dulu deh sambil icip-icip makanan.” Gw sempat kecewa. Untung makanannya enak-enak, jadi bisa sedikit terhibur, hehehe. Cuma bete juga sih, soalnya baru masuk studio ‘n nonton bentar, udah disuruh keluar lagi. Kan capek ! Tadinya gw ma teteh udah kepingin pulang aja. Tapi setelah lihat susunan acara, kita penasaran juga pingin lihat Ada Band (tepatnya: kepingin lihat vokalisnya !). Untung turuntungtung, pas kedua kali masuk, ada beberapa penonton yang pulang dan kursi yang dibeli undangan seharga 2,5 juta itu disabotase para reporter yang bete mesti bolak-balik keluar masuk. Ternyata reporter itu banyak yang setia kawan ya. Buktinya mereka saling bantu. Bantu cari posisi buat foto, kamera, Bantu kasih info n bantu ngasih duduk buat gw n si teteh (teteh duduk di tangga sih, tp lmyn bisa nonton dengan jelas las). Kesimpulan dari acara ini adalah: studio 4 rcti kecil ya ! Oia, rio febrian suaranya bagus juga.

Liputan kedua: Pamer artis Sony BMG. Lokasi : Planet Hollywood yang letaknya sebelahan banget dan satu rt rw ama kantor gw. Bener-bener kesempatan buat menghibur diri di antara kerjaan kantor dan tentunya, kesempatan makan siang gratis tis tis (ini yg paling penting !). Gw tpaksa menculik Taz, sekretaris kantor yg lg sibuk berat tp lg bete ama bosnya jadi cuek aja ngacir tanpa meninggalkan pesan dan kesan, untuk menemani gue. Sebagai dua orang cewek yang manis, sopan, lugu, dan baik hati, kita yang paling pertama nyomot makanan dengan rakus begitu MC bilang ‘makanan sudah tersedia’. Mungkin klo kita gak mulai, orang lain gak akan makan. Coba, kasian kan klo kelaperan?? Setelah puas nambah broccoli n cheese yang sumpah enak banget, mulai deh acara musik live-nya. Sayang, tugas kantor menanti (plus si Taz udah dicariin), jadi kita balik lagi ke kantor sebelah. Gw sih sempat balik lagi sekitar jam 3 kurang buat melihat pertunjukkan terakhir. Ehhhh..ternyata, band yang terakhir ini yang paling oke. Namanya Bondan Prakoso & Fade 2 Black. Sumpah lagunya seru banget n keren abis. Gw pingin banget jejingkrakan tapi inget mesti balik ke kantor jadi terpaksa ditahan sekuat hati. Pokoknya, band ini ‘highly recommended’ dehh.. kapan lagi ya mereka manggung? Gw jadi pingin lihat lagi..lho kok jd nge-fans begini ya? Kesimpulan dari liputan ini : dari ujung rambut sampe ujung kaki gue bau rokok kok kok!!! (untung gw gak bengek nyium bau rokok!).

All in all, gw seneng banget bisa dateng ke acara ky begini. Seru deh pokoknya. Kapan ada liputan lagi ya??

bukuku sayang, bukuku malang

2005-10-01T04:55:00.000-07:00

Belakangan ini, sisi ke’norak’an gue terkuak dan mencuat begitu hebatnya. Semua itu terjadi, gara-gara buku gue selesai cetak dan mulai diedarkan ke toko-toko buku (khususnya gramedia…!!! Sekalian cari yaaa…kikikikkk..tuh kan noraknya keluar…) Awalnya, gw malu buat cerita ke temen2 klo gw tuh lagi bikin buku. Pokoknya, selama proses editing dan naik cetak itu, yang tau hanya segelintir aja (gak nyampe 10 orang deh pokoknya !). Terus terang, gw sempat takut kalo2 ni buku ga jadi diterbitin ! Kan malu klo udah ‘ngemeng’ sana-sini gak taunya cuma ‘asbun’ alias asal bunyi doang!

Suatu hari Kamis (tepatnya tgl 8 Sept 05), saat gue lagi dijamu supplier di suharti dan merasa sedikit bete krn gak bisa makan (lagi puasa bo…!!! Mudah2an pahala gw berlipat2 krn berhasil menahan godaan ayam goreng nan kriukk itu !), iseng2 gw telepon teh tety (head editor gw) n tanya2 soal kelanjutan hidup si buku yang gak nongol2 itu. Ehhhh..gak taunya, dia bilang buku gw udah selesai cetak n mulai diedarkan ! Mata langsung berbinar, jantung berdetak cepat , senyum mengembang lebar, dan godaan untuk mencomot ayam hilang seketika ! Spontan aja gw lsg cerita sana-sini. Gaya ceritanya juga sambil lompat-lompat, teriak2 girang, suara melengking dan tepuk2 tangan. Entah knp gw bisa menemukan koreografi seperti itu. Yang pasti, setiap cerita ke orang lain ttg buku gw, gerakannya bisa sama persis (!) : lompat-lompat, teriak2 girang, suara melengking dan tepuk2 tangan ! Oia, dan setiap selesai cerita pasti dikasih ending “ Beli yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…..! Beli yang banyak !” Sayangnya, semangat tinggi yang ditunjang dengan cerita sambil lompat2 kegirangan itu sangat bertolak belakang dengan pendistribusian buku yang sembunyi2 dan merayap pelan. Bbrp temen yg ketularan ‘semangat’ sempat kecewa wa waw krn gak nemu buku itu di toko buku terdekat. Gimana nih? Pikir gw. Langsung aja gw telp teh tety dan protes ini-itu. Untung aja dia sabar ngadepin gw n bilang klo distribusi emang gak serentak. Butuh waktu bbrp hari untuk menyebar dgn merata. Ohhhh..bgitu ya… Gw pikir, begitu selesai cetak, lsg tersebar luas seantero nusantara!

Tadi malem gw nemenin kk gw liputan fashion show di mal Kelapa gading. Iseng2, gw ke gramed buat ngecek keberadaan buku gw. Setelah cari sana-sini dan tanpa hasil, gw tanya ke mas penjaga toko (kita sebut aja mpt). Si mpt mencari data di komp dan… ada ! tapi dia bingung, ditaronya dimana ya… trus dia bilang,”Bukunya ada sih mbak. Di bagian anak2 !” APAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA??????? Syukur alhamdulillah gw bukan pengidap jantung akut. Sayangnya, gw pengidap asma kronis, jadi ucapan si mpt itu sempat membuat gw sedikit sesak napas. “Kokkkkkk… buku anak2 sih mas? Judulnya aja ‘things to do before 30’ ! itu kan buat cewek dewasa!!!”protes gw sambil ngatur2 napas. “Iya ya mbak. Bentar ya saya cari.”jawab si mpt sambil sibuk nyari2 di tumpukan buku2 chicklit. Setelah tanya sama temen2 mpt yg lain dan menciptakan sedikit ‘commotion’ di gramed, mereka menemukan buku gw di bagian ‘BUKU ANAK’ , bersanding mesra dengan cerita ‘Malin Kundang’ dan ‘ Lutung Kasarung’. BETAPA MENYEDIHKAN ! Para mpt sibuk berkumpul di sana sambil ngebahas knp buku itu dikategorikan buku anak dan tidak sempat melihat diri gw yg sibuk memajang buku gw di bagian chicklit sambil mikir2 gmn caranya supaya gak nangis histeris dan ngelemparin karyawan gramed di sana dengan buku gw yang malang.

Hari ini gw mau protes (lagi) ke penerbit gw dan ngadu tentang pengalaman tidak menyenangkan kmrn. Semoga aja, pihak gramed buru2 mengatur ulang buku gw supaya diletakkan di tempat yang tepat. Jadi, klo kalian mencari2 buku gw dan tdk menemukannya, coba deh ke bagian buku anak2. siapa tau ada di sana !!! Hu-uh !
