How Was Your 2011?

2012-01-06T15:20:00.000+07:00

These are my 2011 highlights. So here they are :

January

Big family trip to Bintan and Singapore with mom, dad, brother, sister, aunty, uncle, and all of my cousins. That was a very good trip to boost my mood on the beginning of 2011
NeYo concert. Unfortunately, I lost my first digital camera – Sony Bloggie – there. So it was such a very sad beginning :”(
Senja screening. My first short-film script. And I’m happy with the result of the film.

February

Manado trip with Oci. C’mon Ci let’s have another trip together!
Volunteer for Erwin Gutawa’s concert. Became a volunteer means I got a chance to watch the concert for free.
Junior high school mates (read: GG) coming to Bandung. That was a fun 2 days 1 night trip.

March

Live and Rocking by Blackberry. Yeah because of free ticket so I wouldn't missed it. Attending this concert made me realize how krazey K-Pop fans are :P
I had an interview with one of the famous radio network in Indonesia for social media position. But because they located in Jakarta and I should stayed in Bandung for college, so I must let go that chance. Too bad.

April

I tried for a musical theater audition and failed :P but that’s making me more keen to try and try.

May

Mom, Nadya, and Dimas visit to Bandung. That was memorable because I could counted how many times they visited me there.

June

Mom, Dad, Nadya, and Dimas another visit to Bandung
Had the courage to follow MC casting for a TV show. But naaa, another failed :P
Followed Greenpeace volunteer orientation. Though I was only came once and never taking part on their other activities but the orientation really opened my eyes about the environment condition around the world especially Indonesia.
Summer trip to Bintan.

July

My first internship. At one of my favourite bookstore. Ak.sa.’ra. So happy. Met a lot of new people. Had many experiences. And so much fun. Thank you Mbak Dinda for the opportunity :-)
Had the courage to cut my hair in an extreme way. Pixie hair and I love it. A few shampoo could reduce your expense.
Eyang Ko’s funeral. That was my first time having a sad moment with my closest relative. Rest in peace Yang :_)

August

Bali trip with Mondang. Seeing another side of Bali, very first time diving. Such a fun trip with Mondang and Kak Busuk :-)
Gaby’s wedding. Finally I got friend who already married.
Voice of Indonesia audition. And I got it! VOI is a group of singer sharing their joy of singing coming from different ages, religion and social backgrounds.I went back and forth Bandung - Jakarta - Bandung almost twice a week but that's not a prob. This is one of my best highlight of 2011 cause i got so many cool experiences about music with them.

September

New phone. And broken in the next 4 months cause my fault T.T
Performed with Dewargon at Ekel’s brother wedding. I missed the guys so much and had time with them was such a mood-booster.
Java Soulnation was awesome. LMFAO especially. They successfully made all the crowd shuffling.

October

Performed at musical theater: Opera Batak at Taman Ismail Marzuki. Hoping VOI and I could perform it again on another occasions and another country. Amen

November

The Script concert. They made all the crowd sang along but that was too short performance.

December

VOI Christmas Performance at Jakarta’s mall; Plaza Indonesia, EX, Pacific Place, Central Park, and Mal Taman Anggrek. And I could finally put make up from blush on to fake eyelashes all by myself. And VOI really cures my longing with music and stages after Dewargon's long vacuum.
20th birthday. When 20th started, people having bigger responsibility for their life. It’s like the phase of mature life for some people.
Another trip to Bintan and Singapore with family for a week. But KKN on January 2nd to Subang made me had to come back to Bandung on January 1st. I wish I could stay a little bit longer oh I wish.

And so many other ups and downs.
But I’m being thankful cause God giving me many wonderful opportunities so I could learned from all the experiences.
Let's hope 2012 will give You and I another surprises.

Dance at NYE Party

2012-01-01T02:35:00.001+07:00

Welcome 2012!

Bintan Island part 2

2011-12-31T17:19:00.001+07:00

The 2011's day with the bright sun and wide smile.

I thanked 2011 for giving such a nice experiences and beautiful memories.

And now we're so ready for 2012!

NYE with the sand,wave, beach, under the night sky with the stars wohoooooo

Bintan Island part 1

2011-12-31T17:12:00.000+07:00

And here it is, my fifth time to Bintan island. For your info, Bintan is located in Kepulauan Riau 10 kilometres from Batam Island. Mostly tourist, international, came from Singapore because its only need 45 minutes from Singapore by ferry. And sometimes it's a lil bit hard to find local tourist. It's a very quiet and calm place for your gate away from city life.

Another sad news, my four months old Sony Ericsson SK17i fell off from my lap when i went outside from car. The screen was cracked and the touchscreen no longer working anymore. Geez why am I so careless with all of my gadget?!!!? That’s why I’m so not in the mood for tweeting :|

But not let the bad mood kill you, let the white crystal sandy beach cheers you up!

Three Days Walking

2011-12-31T16:25:00.000+07:00

chocolate cake and chocolate mousse at IKEA <3

The next morning we went straightaway to Singapore.When it comes to Christmas, I love how Singaporean decorating their area especially Orchard and nearby with the lights and all the cute decorations. Hunting for all the good discount stuffs. We didn't want to miss it, right?

And by the way, although its been said many time many ways MERRY CHRISTMAS to you :)

Booo for L*#n air

2011-12-31T15:06:00.000+07:00

Four hours delay. That was the longest delay I've ever had. At first, they said it was because the late coming plane from Tanjung Pinang, therefore we would boarding on 4pm. But the fact, we were on board on 5.30pm. Really wasting time, money, and energy. They "provided" us food, but hey it wasn't about tummy-problem. We were too tired to confirm the cause. L*#n Air should really re-manage their management and improve their quality.

But after a really long and tired journey, finally we got real foods special from Tanjung Pinang :9

White and Purple Party

2011-12-18T17:48:00.000+07:00

Thank you mate for coming. Family, junior high, senior high, college friends. I cherished every moment with you all. Once again, thank you :)

I'm happy to be finally twenty :))

thank you for the photo(s): jethro, pringgo, jodia, aang

Night Surprise

2011-12-14T21:58:00.001+07:00

After spent the day without having any thought for another surprise. Kemarin malam tepat disaat publish Twentieth, really? , tiba-tiiba gue dikasi kejutan sama wanita-wanita plus satu laki kunyuk Fikom yang berhasil bikin gue seriously surprised.

Jam saat itu menunjukan pukul 20:30, gue lagi di kamar Ratri nanya-nanya tentang UAS besok (yang ternyata memang gue sengaja untuk "digiring" ke kamarnya). Si Roso baru sampe rumah disertai dengan "Assallamualaikum" dan dibalas "Walaikumsalam" sama Ratri. Si Roso nyamper ke kamar Ratri, "Mbak El, aku ada kado di kamar kamu." Sontak (ce elah sontak bahasa lo) gue lari ke kamar donk. "Aaa apa tuh~"

Pas dibuka pintu wah gelap dan setelah gue lihat lebih dalam ada Nicholas Saputra lagi *sensor*. Gimana gue gak seneng coba. Tanpa pikir panjang gue menoleh ke Oco dan tersenyum lebar sambil berkata, "You know what I want Co." *tutup pintu*
Naaa hanya khalayan semata~

Gue buka pintu kamar, ada 8 cewe binal dan 1 cowo yang tak kalah binal nyanyi Indonesia Raya (lo pikir heh?). Nyanyi Happy Birthday sambil bawa martabak coklat kacang dikasih lilin 20 tahun :""")

Sumpah akyu kaget sampe berkaca-kaca lho guys. Kaget dalam arti sesungguhnya. Untung gak ada yang jadi suster ngesot, jadi surprise ini selamat dari berbagai kekerasan dan hal membahayakan.

Thank you ceman-ceman (Melly, Oci, Oco, Fanny, Aang, Ratri, Bana, Twenty, Fida, Indra) for closing my night sweetly. Kalian tau ga, seharian aku ngidam martabak lohhh. Dan kalian bawa pengganti kue tart yang tepat. Peluk satu-satu :")

Twentieth, really?

2011-12-13T20:00:00.001+07:00

Ya Tuhan aku 20 tahun hari ini. Tapi hari ini terasa biasa aja sih ya seperti hari-hari lainnya. Mungkin karena gue lagi UAS dan yaalloh Perencanaan Evaluasi Komunikasi Pemasaran plus Metode Peneletian Kuantitatif berhasil bikin gue mabok. Doakan aku ya guys hasilnya oke.

Ada beberapa highlight of the day nih:

Ada "orang lama" tiba-tiba nyasar di depan pintu kosan gue jam 6:30 bawa kue pake lilin 3 biji. Disaat gue masih teler karena baru tidur jam 3 pagi buat ngerjain tugas pra-syarat UAS yang tiada ujung sekaligus belajar sekaligus balesin tweets and sms happy birthday :P, tiba-tiba nyasar aja kan orangnya sampe Bandung. Kalo bocahnya baca, njir niat banget lo hahaha. Tapi makasih kuenya lumayan buat nyemal-nyemil hehe

Kali ini gue mencoba iseng tidak mempublish tanggal ulang tahun di facebook. Dan ternyata memang sedikit yang nge-wall. Tapi twitter terus berbunyi oh senangnya. Whatsapp juga lumayan. Dan masih ada yang sms tengah malem dan tetap ingat sama tanggal ulang tahun gue. Dan buat kamu yang paling pertama sms, aku peluk sama cium yaaa :-* #centil.
Pokoknya senang lah bahwa ternyata banyak banget yang masih perhatian dan inget sama gue :") aku terharu.

Dan sebagai tambahan. Disaat UAS gue udah mau beres tinggal satu mata kuliah yang tidak ada catatan tertulisnya, tiba-tiba tadi sore gue menemukan semua kumpulan kertas file yang gue anggap hilang raib entah kemana yang membuat gue luntang lantung pinjem catatan orang sana sini buat fotokopi. Sedih gak sih looooo, helloooo? Klo gue sih sedih banget. Secara gue anaknya dedikasi tinggi dalam urusan catat mencatat. Disini gue merasa terpuruk, gue bagaikan dicabik-cabik, semua seakan sia-sia tak ada guna *lebay*
Pftttt cuma bisa mengumpat *azek*. Ya mau dikata apa. Pokoknya guys pelis banget doain hasilnya maksimal bin sensasional.

Dan inilah SMS paling sensasional 13/12/11:

Gesti : Happy birthday mba L tersayangssss semoga slalu mendapatkan yg terbaik. Sukses yaw! Cipok :3
Gue : Oh udah piling pasti gesti. Suer hhaahha. Maaksih bu gesti semoga semakin muslimah...
Gesti : Hakhakhak. Kok tau ciiiii ;;) Amin deh. Smg kamu jg makin kristinah, jgn lupa bljr solat lg L #ngasal :p

Anjir nyet KRISTINAH, dipikir gue penyanyi dangdut kali. Iya sih Muslim jadi Muslimah ya tapi masa Kristen jadi Kristinah harusnya Kristenah *sama aje*

SMS berikutnya dari Andrew Tumbelaka:

"smoga jd anak yg lbh baik lg di usia lo yg udh mncapai kepala 3 ini=D hahahahaha.. yg jelas slmt ulg taun yaa..God Bless you :)"

Dalam sekejap, gue merasa siap untuk dikawinkan dan jadi ibu rumah tangga. Punya keluarga kecil dengan 1 suami dan 2 anak. Memasak dan membuatkan segelas kopi untuk suami sepulang kerja. Mengganti popok anak kedua dan mengajarkan matematika pada anak pertama. Kepala 3 coba umur gue.

Ya dibalik semua peristiwa pasti ada hikmahnya. Pokoknya gue merasa santai di hari perdana umur 20 tahun. Beban semakin berat tapi hidup harus dibawa ceria.

Can't wait for Sunday :D

One Day

2011-12-07T22:18:00.001+07:00

One Day. One of my favourite novel. Hmm maybe the most favourite one. My summer reading back in June 2011. I'm so in love with it. Sweet and heartbreaking at the same time. And I'm so excited knowing there's a movie of it. Too bad no cinema in Indonesia screen the film. Big booooo. So let's spin the DVD!

(-)
I hate Emma's outfit. She's not that old fashioned. That fringe dress she wore on the scene "i love you Dex but i don't like you anymore" makes her thigh look wider. And the green tosca pencil skirt in '04 scene looks as if its 90's.

Why there's no India and Paris scene when they wrote letters to each other? Why there's no scene when they spent holiday together with each other lover? Why there's there's no scene when they finally played scrabble together?And lotta why oh why...

(+)
Though the storyline's too jumpy but the director got the picture of every year stories beautifully. All the set are exactly like what I've been imagining. The apartment they first met. Dexter's parents house. Largin It show. Emma's Spanish fast food restaurant. The hills.
Really put a smile in my face.

Anne Hathaway was a lil bit odd with the accent, sometimes good but much gone, but still she fits Emma Morley both behaviorally and physically. Jim Sturgess always got the moment especially when he grew older.
Ya they aren't a best couple but they've good chemistry and complete each other. They do really impressed me.

(Conclusion)
For people who never read the novel, they won't get the chemistry they've been built since 15 July 1988. So i do really suggest you to read it cause it's good :)

Guinness Arthur's Day 2011

2011-11-13T20:09:00.001+07:00

Hello Cosmic reader. Here's the review of the Guinness Arthur's Day on Central Park, November 12th 2011. I came on 8pm right at the opening performance by Mike's Apartment. So here they are...

Mike's Apartment
It's my first time watched them. They played several tracks from U2 and Coldplay. They also played one of their songs title "Alay", and I could say it's a funny song with catchy lyric. As a Jakartans, public transportation is "Kerasss brooo" :) If I wasn't wrong, they only played one of their own track. I actually prefer them to give balance portion between their own songs and other artist songs.

Gugun and The Blue Shelter
Still remember the first time I watched their live performance on 2010 as a guest for Java Jazz audition at Bandung. It was like love at the first hearing. Three guys with a real talent. And got a chance to watched them again as an opening for The Script is still amazed me. I really enjoyed their performance.
One thing really annoyed me is there was this group stood beside me and when GBS played one of the girl said,"Berasa keren banget deh." (They think they're cool, huh?). Damn, I was laughed inside and felt pity for them not to enjoy such a cool performance from local musician with international talent. Yeah, I know it's about taste. But sorry girl, you're so tasteless. And when Gugun asked the crowd,"Do you enjoy our music?", one of the guy from the group screamed,"No!"
Geez are they deaf? Haha

The Script
Wohooo The Script oh The Script. I've been waiting for them since so long. Thanks Fanny and Kak Ayu for helped me bought the presale ticket.

They have strong fanbase here in Indonesia, huh? The crowd sang along in almost every 13 songs they played. I was waiting for If You See Kay and Long Gone = Dead Walking, too bad they didn't play it. At first I'm shocked all the crowd could sing out loud their lyrics, but in the midst when I looked at the giant big screen on my left right side, I realized all the lyrics were displayed there. Ohhhh pantes....

I first listened to them on 2008, the very time they had The Man Who Can't Be Move on the music market. And the gotcha feeling after listened to the song led me to CD store and bought their first album. Still remember, I played their CD on one of my friend's car and I was so excited suggesting them to listen and buy it. But they weren't realize how good is their songs, until they got The-Man-Who-Can't-Be-Move fever. This song ever became hits on Indonesia, aimed for the broken hearted people who couldn't forget their past and still hoping for a good chances ( read: galau). Maybe I'm one of Indonesian who listened to theirs before another Indonesian recognized their meaningful romantic songs. The Script always making sweet-mostly-sorrowful lyrics with a very ear catchy tune. Though when my mom listened their Science and Faith album, she thinks all the track heard all the same. Haha

And I'm feeling stupid till now, not to recharge my phone so I didn't got any chance taking picture of the euphoria there. It was a total off right after I arrived at the venue. Dang. So I didn't have any documentation and need to get picture stocks from others.

Btw, after the concert, Ucan, Selly, Mute, and I decided having late dinner. Then we went to Roti Bakar Wiwied at Fatmawati. When we arrived and ordered, I realized half of the customers also came from Arthur's Day. I knew it cause all of them wearing the same entrance sign bracelet as I am. So from West Jakarta to South Jakarta they decided coming to the same place like us, fulfilled the hunger with toast. Such a coincidence.

So the conclusion, It was too quick one hour performance. Me wanting more from The Script. And too bad there's no free flow of Guinness. :p

Gosling as Jacob not-that-jacob-twilight

"Seriously, it's like you're Photoshopped!" hell yeah \m/


how good it feels? after seeing that picture above? seriously you asking me mr. Gosling? Menurut L!

I like the movie. It's funny, entertaining, nice twist with the story of one problematic family, a babysitter who like older guys, and one super hot guy.
Special note for the hot guy: It's blood-rushing for every gesture, expression, word, gaze. and style. Killing mehhh please... o.O

I'm a Barbie girl in a Barbie world

2011-10-22T06:02:00.000+07:00

When I was a girl there's nothing fancy than playing Barbie. The little wardrobe, imitation mini pearl accessories with 3 floor colorful house, accompanied by Kelly and Ken.

Your girlfriends came along and you playing as a glamour socialite or princess or career women or sporty one. We decided and addicted.

Not my childhood toy but my childhood 'Barbie' !

Chillin

2011-10-20T20:30:00.000+07:00

Finally mid-test was over. But still a lot of new tasks awaiting for me. And all the tasks trying to tell me, "Dear, Karina. You'll meet me a year later. Sincerely, Thesis"

But let's chill a bit with a cup of coffee and another novel to read with the lovely weather in Bandung.

Inspiration comes in this very right time, doesn't it Ang, Fan?
:))

outfit hectic at the dark backstage

Opera Batak Re-Run
October 12th 2011
Teater Besar, Taman Ismail Marzuki Jakarta

My very first time musical theater
very first time on a huge theater stage
very first time my profile on a show booklet

Thank you Kak Rio and Voice of Indonesia. Bandung - Jakarta - Depok for rehearsal wasn't a big deal. I do love all the Batak's repertoire and the dance routine. I'm proud to be the part of it :')

Sorry For Party Rocking

2011-09-26T19:52:00.001+07:00

Depapepe ~ Oh gosh how i hated myself for missing 'Summer Parade' song. Blame the traffic jam. I came on their 2 last songs. This guys were awesome with all that beauty melody i've heard since 2008. Wish i could come earlier.

Mike Posner ~ Girls attraction, aight? Please Don't Go, Cooler Than Me. I stood beside the speaker and i think the bass was too much compare with the treble so i was a lil bit deaf. But i enjoyed his energy.

LMFAO ~ LMFAO Rock the beat and rock the show! It was the first time i wasn't really enthusiastic to stand in front of the stage. Not because i'm not fascinated but because i need a 'huge' space for shuffling! Haha. So took the middle space at festival. And they did really good work with the beat. Everysong i'm shufflin tetetetetetetet ~

Thanks Cimeng and Oco for the night xo

Boys with Boy (?)

2011-09-14T12:33:00.002+07:00

Back Home

2011-08-20T20:05:00.002+07:00

note: it's better readable if you scroll down the page and read first from the "August Trip" post and so on :)

Last day oh last day. Baru rasanya kemaren jatoh dari motor, baru kemaren nyelem di Tulamben, baru kemaren ngelawak di tempat gaul, eh sekarang udah pulang aja.

Kembali lagi dengan rutinitas, kemacetan, kuliah, tugas, Jakarta, Depok, dan Bandung.

Terima kasih diucapakan buat:

Kak Busuk a.k.a Kak Erik a.k.a kakaknya Mondang. Karena Mondang sering ngatain Kak Erik,"Busuk lo!", jadi gue buat panggilan sayang buat Kak Erik dengan Kak Busuk. hehe. Serta teman-temannya Kak Busuk.

Sriti yang irit dan lincah. Membawa gue dan Mondang menuju ujung-ujung Bali sampe muka gue dekil kaya anak kampung, kaki gue belang gara-gara pake sendal jepit diterpa sinar matahari, dengkul gue borok gara-gara jatoh nyusruk trotoar.

Bali yang malem adem, siang panas, ramah, cantik, genit, centil, dan gaul.

Dan Mondang yang jadi supir, temen patungan, temen ngelawak, temen ngegembel dan ngegaul.

Next trip nabung ye bro!

TAMAT :)

Day 8

2011-08-20T20:00:00.001+07:00

Tepat tanggal 17 Agustus, 66 tahun yang lalu, Indonesia merdeka. Dan di tanggal ini gue dan Mondang mewujudkan keinginan tependam untuk ke Pasar Sukawati. Aksesoris lucu dan baju barong memanggil-manggil. Pagi hari adalah waktu yang tepat buat belanja disana karena banyak dari penjual yang baru buka toko dan mereka berharap panglaris. Jadi mau dikata lo nawar serendah apa, insya alloh, pasti diiyain. Ibu-ibunya sampe pasrah kita nawar sampe murah banget. Kapan lagi dapet kalung segede gaban cuma goceng. Sukawati, i love you dah.

Sorenya menuju si bar diatas batu yang saban hari gagal dikunjungi. Datang jam 4.30 udah ngantri aja. Ngantri buat turun pake evalator. Tempatnya emang bagus terutama saat sunset. Kebetulan kita dapat momen sunsetnya juga lagi keren banget. Tapi harga minuman dan makanannya mahal banget bokkkk. Masa Coke aja 65 ribu belum sama tax. Ya jatohnya 80ribu lah.

Dan disana musti mesen minuman minimal 2 gelas (entah harus dua atau bergantung jumlah orang yang datang) karena saat gue bayar bill waitress nya ngomong,"Maaf mba, seharusnya minimum pembeliannya 2 gelas. Tapi karena mba cuma berdua jadi gak terlalu keliatan. Gak papa kok."

Ini dikarenakan gue dan Mondang yang cuma beli satu gelas minuman buat berdua. hahahahaha

There's nothing wrong about it, right? Kan biar gak penasaran kaya apa sih tempatnya :p

Day 7

2011-08-20T19:55:00.001+07:00

Hari ini adalah hari gaul sedunia buat kita berdua. Pagi-pagi kita sarapan di Bali Bakery di antara bule-bule. Sebagai penikmat berat makanan berbahan dasar tepung, gue katakan pastry nya enak banget. With the black coffee the bread is so tasteful.

Berputar-putar cari toko oleh-oleh yang fixed price dan ternyata mahal-mahal banget. Yang kaya gini bikin gue dan Mondang pengen ke Sukawati dan nawar gila-gilaan. Pokoknya harus ke Sukawati gak mau tau.

Makan siang di Warung Italia. I ordered Spaghetti aglio e olio and it tasted too oily with too much garlic with no spicy taste at all.

Double Six, Seminyak. Waiting for sunset. Rekomendasi Kak Busuk membawa kita ke La Plancha. Salah satu kafe di pinggir pantai Seminyak dengan payung dan kursi warna-warni. Dari berbagai kafe yang tersebar di sepanjang Double Six, La Plancha inilah yang paling rame. Dekornya asik, musiknya oke, harganya juga wajar lah.

Sunsetnya udah abis berlanjutlah kita ke tempat syabi bertitel Kepala Kentang. Disini kejadian agak memalukan tejadi. Masuk sana rame banget. Hampir semua kursi penuh. Kita langsung cari spot paling asik. Ada kursi kosong yang buat bobo-boboan dengan view langsung ke pantai. Dengan pedenya kita berdua langsung duduk disitu sampe tidur-tiduran.

Panggil waiternya dan doi langsung bilang,"Maaf mba untuk di bed ini minimum paymentnya 500ribu." Mateee. Itu mah bisa makan nasi babi Bu Oka ampe muntah haha. Diliatin bule-bule yang mungkin udah tahu kalo pengen duduk disitu ada minimum paymentnya dan melihat gaya gue berdua yang gembel maksimal, dengan muka malu tapi berusaha (sok) cool gue berdua segera beranjak.

"Eh duduk situ aja mon kosong."

Gue melihat kursi kosong yang nampaknya memanggil gue berdua *lebay*.

Baru duduk nih, tiba-tiba waiter yang lain menghampiri,"Maaf mba, meja ini udah di reserved."

Buset dosa apa gue mau gaul aja banyak halangannya hahaha.

Day 6

2011-08-20T19:45:00.001+07:00

It's rafting time! Setelah sebelumnya gue pernah rafting di Sungai Ayung, di daerah Ubud, kali ini gue dan Mondang rafting di Telaga Waja, Karangasem. Ya perjalanan kali ini yang pasti, basah. hehe

Sore hari kita berencana mengejar sunset di bar atas batu yang lagi hip banget buat gaulista yang datang ke Bali. Gue sama Monic muter-muter gak nemu itu tempat. Ternyata selidik punya selidik, kita salah arah. Sunsetnya juga udah mau beres. Ya sutralah. Masih banyak waktu.

Untuk menghibur diri yang gagal nemu lokasi, belanja-belanjalah di surf outlet yang tersebar di daerah Denpasar. Diskonnya bisa sampe 90%. Meskipun barangnya udah ada yang dekil, ya tapi worth it lah asal teliti sebelum membeli. Kapan lagi beli sendal Roxy cuma 20 ribu.

By the way, setelah kemaren-kemaren liat bapak-bapak yang pada lomba gerak jalan di jalanan protokol kali ini dalam perjalanan ke lokasi rafting, gue dan Mondang liat anak SD lagi lomba gerak jalan di jalanan pinggir sawah. Lucu-lucu banget deh. Tapi lawak banget soalnya gak cewe, gak cowo pada pake bedak, dan karena keringetan bedaknya pada luntur. Pake ada anak cowo yang bibirnnya dilipstikin segala. Mikir apa ye emak sama gurunye.

Day 5

2011-08-20T19:35:00.001+07:00

Tujuan hari ini adalah Ubud. Di Ubud lagi ada persiapan buat Ngaben keluarga Puri Ubud, yaitu ibu dari Bupati Gianyar, untuk tanggal 18 Agustus nanti. Sayang, tanggal segitu gue udah balik ke Jakarta. Baru persiapannya aja udah rame apalagi hari pelaksanaanya. Turis manacanegaranya aja udah tumpah ruah. Ketemu Shireen Sungkar pula. Gue sama Mondang jadi inget Agus, Goldy, Leon yang pernah naik gunung bareng doi. Hahaha

Ibu Oka, here we come! Ya tujuan kali ini adalah menyicipi nasi campur babi yang konon kata orang enak banget. Menuju Ubud bersama Sriti memakan waktu 2 jam dengan kecepatan sedang. Nasi babi campur spesial dengan potongan daging babi pedas, babi goreng, kulit babi, sosis babi; enak banget bro. Yang paling gue suka adalah babi goreng ditepungin, crunchy crispy mantab banget deh. Sambal matahnya juga nampol banget pedesnya uenak farah. Bahkan gue masih bisa membayangkan rasa sambelnya di mulut gue.

Makan lagi di Nasi Ayam Kedawetan. Nasi campur bali nya enak juga loh. Garingnya kacang tanah, lembutnya sate lilit ikan, suwiran ayam pedes. Karena masih kenyang sama masakan Ibu Oka, jadi kali ini kita sepiring berdua. Berbasis pada moto yang kita anut sebelumnya.

Kenyang makan kita memutuskan ke Pasar Sukawati yang kebetulan searah pulang. Nasib sial, jalanan menuju arah Sukawati ditutup karena ada pawai menjelang 17 Agustus dan juga ada lomba gerak jalan! Teteeep. Padahal kita udah 1/2 jalan menuju sana. Jalan dialihin dari lewat gang kecil, jalanan rusak, jalanan sepi sampe rame lagi. Udah setiap nanya ke penduduk lokal, petunjuk arahnya pake mata angin,"Ya adek lurus aja nanti ke arah selatan, ada perempatan ke arah utara. Nanti liat patung gede belok ke arah barat."
Set dah. Sampai muak nanya orang. Sebagai pelajaran mungkin gue harus bawa kompas kalo ke Bali. Muter-muter gak karuan selama 1,5 jam dengan harapan belanja-belanja di Sukawati dan taraaa tiba-tiba gue balik lagi donk ke Ubud. Lo bayangin deh coy gue udah berpuluh-puluh kilometer meninggalkan Ubud dan melewati berbagai jenis jalanan dengan harapan bisa ke Sukawati, ehhhh malah balik lagi ke Ubud. Buset udah gak mood banget dah. Macet dimana-mana pula. Sampe pegel, pantat gue mati rasa sumpeee. Akhirnya kita memutuskan untuk balik ke Denpasar dan sampe ke rumah dengan memakan waktu 4 jam.

Please pijitan pantat gue.

Day 4

2011-08-20T19:14:00.002+07:00

Seru-seru-seru. Ikut tur dengan Kak Busuk and friends. Ada Ka Priska, Ka Hanny dengan pacarnya dari Denmark, Martin. Diving and sight-seeing tour. Menuju ujung Bali, yaitu Karangasem.

Diving di Tulamben. Tulamben is famous for the wreck of US Army transport, Liberty ship in 1943. Ini kali pertama gue diving. Cuma dikasih penjelasan nan singkat, langsung disuruh nyebur ke laut bayangin. Percobaan pertama cuma nyemplungin kepala di air biar paham cara napasnya yang harus pake mulut. Agak panik tapi oke, (mencoba) paham. Setelah itu didampingin Bli Ketut, dive instructornya, dibawa makin ke dalam. Dipencet tombol ini-itu yang gue gak paham tiba-tiba gue udah sekitar 2 meter di bawah laut. Awalnya santai lama-lama beneran panik, berasa sesek napes. Gue minta naik. Udah ngambang di permukaan laut rasanya lega banget. Disuruh tenang. Akhirnya dibawa perlahan kembali ke bawah. Semakin dalam ditemani air biru super jernih dan puluhan diver. Kiri, kanan, depan, belakang cuma ada air sama pasir. Dengan bimbingan Bli Ketut, menjelajahi kedalaman laut hingga 14 meter, tiba-tiba di depan mata gue ada kapal karam segede gaban dengan karang warna-warni yang udah nempel di badan-badan kapal serta ikan kecil warna-warni yang imut-imut. Saat itu komen gue cuma,"Ih lucu..". Menyelam sana-sini, berganti lokasi dan gue langsung," WOW". Entah itu ikan apa, jenis apa, tapi ikannya gede banget ada kali 2 meter dan jumlahnya banyak banget banget. Belum lagi jenis ikan lain yang ada di sekitarnya dengan warna dan ukuran yang beragam. Gue nganga-senganga-nganga-nya. It's beyond beautiful. Sayang gue gak punya kamera under-water, rasanya pengen gue abadiin apa yang gue lihat di bawah laut.

It's my very first time diving and its successfully took my memory of the wonderful view of Indonesia's depth-sea view. Wanting more actually.

Setelah berbasah-basahan dan ternganga-ngangaan di Tulamben, kita menuju Tirta Gangga. Tirta Gangga is a water palace for the Kingdom of Karangasem back then. Cantik banget tempatnya.

Gak berlama-lama di Tirta Gangga, kita lanjut ke Taman Ujung. And once again, it's beautiful also. Kalau Tirta Gangga adalah tempat mandi barengnya para raja, ratu, permaisuri, sohib, sobat, dan besfrennya; nah Taman Ujung adalah tempat tinggalnya. Bagus sekali. Apalagi kita dateng kesana sekitar jam 5, jadi cahaya senjanya pas banget.

Karena areanya luas, banyak warga lokal yang santai-santai, olahraga, bahkan pacaran. Kalo kata Kak Busuk, ini Senayan-nya Karangasem. Lihat ke kanan ada yang lagi peregangan dan dengan cacatnya diikutin gayanya sama Kak Busuk. Lihat ke kiri ada AGK (anak Gaul Karangasem) lagi santai sore sambil pasang lagu Tokyo Drift lewat hape, gaul gelaaaa. Lihat ke belakang ada ibu-bapak umur 40an, lagi memadu kasih di pinggir danau, ibunya bersender di dada bapaknya sambil si bapak ngelus-ngelus pala ibunya. Mesra sekali ya. Kata Kak Busuk,"Jorokin aja." -___-

Setelah itu kita pulang. Dan karena menjelang 17 Agustusan, banyak acara dimana-mana jadi agak bikin jalan tersendat. Nampaknya lomba gerak jalan hits banget nih di Bali. Bapak-bapaknya bersemangat dan penuh stamina. Mereka jalan dan teriak yel-yel. Rasanya gue sama Mondang pengen buka kaca terus tereak,”Semangat!!!!!”

Hari ke-4 sangat menyenangkan dan penuh kenangan. Azek

Masih ada 4 hari lagi lohhh.

Thanks Kak Hanny for the full-team photo :)

Day 3

2011-08-20T19:04:00.001+07:00

Karena udah ada Sriti si Honda beatz lincah dan menggemaskan, hari ini kita menyusuri pantai di sekitar Jimbaran - Pecatu - Uluwatu. Pantai Suluban, pantai Padang-Padang, dan pantai Dreamland. Suluban is best for the surfer's wave and view. Padang-padang is like a secret little island. Dreamland have the nice gradation of water color and best for getting wet with the salty water.

Hari ini kita bikin tato biar ada kenang-kenangan. Gretong pula. Agak permanen kayanya ni tato.

Tato gara-gara kita jatoh dari motor. Bukan jatoh yang menggenaskan seperti keserempet motor atau mobil. Bukan juga jatoh karena kelewat ngebut. Jatohnya karena si Mondang lagi mau muter di jalanan yang super sepi dengan aspal yang mulus. Putaran 180 derajat terasa sempurna saat tiba-tiba di derajat ke 178 doi malah ngegas bukan ngerem. Ya wasalam nyusruk lah di pinggir trotoar. Ada bapak-bapak lagi duduk di bawah pohon langsung bangkit dan kaget sambil senyum-senyum.

"Gak papa dek?"

"Hahahaha gak papa pak." ketawa berusaha terlihat cool sambil ngangkat motor

Gue langsung nengok ke Mondang ngebisikin,"Gimane sih lo mon lagi sepi-sepi begini jatoh."

Nengok lagi ke bapaknya sambil senyum-senyum,"Pak pantai kesana ya pak?"

"Iya masuk lewat situ." sambil itu bapak ikut senyum-senyum

Gue berdua cekakak-cekikik dari ngangkat motor sampe masuk area pantai. Jatoh macam apa itu, ngelawak gila. Gue kira kita sehat walafiat. Eh ternyata lutut sampe betis depan Mondang kebeset ampe bedarah. Gue luka di dengkul kanan. Siyal. Boro-boro tato keren yang ada nambah lagi dah koreng gue.

Day 2

2011-08-20T19:00:00.002+07:00

Hari yang agak garing karena gak ada kendaraan dan kita cuma di drop sampe Kuta. KUTAaktau mau kemaneee ini coy. Jalan kaki muter-muter panas-panas dari ujung ke ujung. Numpang duduk di bawah pohon di pinggir pantai, diajak ngobrol sama tukang papan selancar berkulit gelam. Saking lamanya duduk sampe ditawarin latian surfing gratis.

Sempat menggaulkan diri makan di warung membuat-verb-2. Sepiring berdua. Di hari ini gue bikin moto berdua Mondang "Kalau bisa berdua kenapa harus sendiri" (baca: patungan). Mohon maklum, namanya juga setengah backpacker.

Arrive!

2011-08-20T18:56:00.001+07:00

Setelah pengutak-atikan jadwal flight secara suka-suka oleh maskapai AA yang tadinya jam 3 jadi jam 5 lalu jam 7, dengan inisiatif Mondang yang sangat besar dia akhirnya nelpon AA dan kami sukses dapet flight jam 3 sore.

Sampai Bali jam 5.45 WITA, teputer-puter di bandara cuma untuk nyari gerbang keluar mobil supaya dapet taksi murah. Cabut ke kosan kakaknya Mondang yang punya paviliun buat diinepin. Konklusinya, hari pertama diisi dengan menyendok sepiring nasi dengan kentang balado dan teri bawaan nyokapnya Mondang buat kakaknya. Karena kita berdua sungguh gak punya itinerary apapun. Pengen ke Lombok ternyata lumayan mahal juga. Diputuskan nabung untuk next trip dengn tujuan mendaki di sono yang katanye mahal banget itu.

Hari pertama gue nyapu, ngepel, ganti seprei, ngelap-ngelap kamar. Mau kata di Jogja, di Bali, kerjaan gue sama Mondang pasti ngebabu. Calon istri yang baik nih tinggal nunggu siapa yang mau minang.

August Trip

2011-08-20T18:55:00.003+07:00

Sepertinya Bali udah jadi pilihan liburan bagi beberapa kalangan anak muda masa kini. Sebenernya pergi ke Bali juga ngedadak. Punya tiketnya sih udah dari 9 bulan lalu cukup dengan membayar 10 ribu. Biasa, maskapai penerbangan yang satu itu lagi ngadain promo gilazzz dan nemulah harga tiket super miring untuk tanggal 10-18 Agustus 2011. Lucky me *sombong*

Mendekati bulan Agustus gue masih gak tau mau ngajak siapa untuk trip kali ini. Setelah men-cap-cip-cup-belalang-kuncup siapa yang bisa diajak nyusahin diri, akhirnya gue ajak Mondang a.k.a Monic dangdut. Doi salah satu penyanyi terkenal dari tepian Cimanggis. Rumahnya dekat Mako Brimob, pas Nazarudin ditangkep dia bikin private show di sel tahanan Nazarudin. Kata dia sih bayarannya gede. Kalo demand lagi turun dia biasanya nge-hibur para anggota Brimob. (Mon ampun mon gak maksud mon)

Kebetulan kakaknya kerja di Bali jadi kita dapat banyak informasi tempat-tempat gaul, asik, seru, rame, sepi, jarang orang tahu, dan kawan-kawan.

Because i got 8 days full of stupid things together so i'm going to tell you the story for the each day. Let's start!

Communication Management 2009

28 people (actually there're 29) of my creative-smarty college mate. Finally mid semester was over. I think i put a big effort for this one. But theory communication frustrated me because i was too focused study on political communication, which were scheduled on the same date. Ahh, just hoping for the best.

This is Friday. I've planned to have short visit to Ujung Genteng with Melly, Ratri and the others. But Melly all of sudden have family thingy on Saturday. Only Ratri and Adil who stick with the plan. Just imagine i walk behind and see them as a couple enjoying the beach waves. haha nah, just kidding. So plan doesn't go well.

Now am ending inside this comfy bedroom. Seeking for a bags of idea.

Two free tickets of Live and Rockin concert for my last week saturday night. Got one from the giveaway on internet. Thanks Ucan for the info in the middle of Friday night. And got the other from Spice magazine quiz on twitter. Lucky me i got it and kindly gave it to my sister. A lil bit review about the event.

Suede. Honestly i never heard any of their songs. Don't blame me i'm not into their era. Though the lighting were superb. Similar with what i saw on Temper Trap (same promoter, Ismaya). Seems they were the most-awaited performer that day.

Shontelle presented her sweety performance with the pinky dress - silver beads bra - ruffle in the skirt. She was 'okay'. Beside i only know T-Shirt and Impossible. But her DJ got the heat of the crowd and was the only interesting part of the whole show, in my opinion.

Taio Cruz came with his famous songs like Break Your Heart and Dynamite. Dancing along but worried about my sister who suddenly looked pale and shed tears while previously watching 2PM surrounded by their lunatic fans.

*mau curhat jadi ganti bahasa*
2PM sebagai pembuka sudah cukup bikin suasana panas terutama suasana hati. Bukan karena artisnya tapi karena fansnya. Ya ampun coba deh jangan dorong-dorongan dan sikut-sikutan loh. Dorongnya bener-bener pol sampai gak ada udara. Hingga belasan bahkan puluhan penonton, mayoritas cewek, diangkut sama security karena gak kuat berada di barisan festival. Termasuk adek gue -_-".
Sorry to say, ini fans paling gak banget yang pernah gue temuin dalam sejarah gue nonton konser. Mereka gak mau ngalah, dorong orang dengan sekuat tenaga dan sungguh seenak jidat.
Entah mengapa kok mereka gak tertib banget. Sedikitpun gak menikmati musik. Sibuk sama kameranya masing sambil teriak-teriak dan teteuppp dorong-dorong.
"Ya ampun si ini ganteng banget ~kya kya."
Ah absurd deh. Untung badan gue besar jadi bisa menopang diri dengan baik :p

Bahkan Ucan, yang menjebak gue untuk ngantri dari jam 4 biar dapet paling depan karena dia suka Nichkun, harus menghadapi keanarkisan fans 2PM. Dia pun gak suka dengan perilaku mereka yang berlebihan. Ini bukan masalah posisi diri yang salah (mungkin ada yang mikir: ya salah sendiri nonton di depan) tapi ini masalah ketertiban dalam menonton konser yang harusnya diisi oleh orang-orang elit karena dari yang gue lihat mereka pake wristband putih, yang artinya mereka beli tiket dengan trade-in BB (sedangkan gue biru karena jenis tiketnya invitation).

Once again this is just my opinion. I'm just being honest.
Somehow I also will be super excited if i had a once-in-a-lifetime-chance to watch my superstar live concert. But it would be better if we'd act orderly so other audience would also have a pleasurable once-in-a-lifetime experience. Whoever you are guys, next time you watch a concert please watch it orderly :D

Dan secara gue dateng dari awal acara sampai selesai, gue bisa eksplor orang-orang yang datang. Kalo awal, yang datang wasalam dah.
Namun makin malam makin 'panas' apalagi setelah bubaran Suede. Dicomot satu bisa kali yak :b

Secara nonton konser ini gretong ya bok, menikmatnya ya harus sepenuh hati. Bandung-Depok-Kemayoran kurang 'deket' apa coba.

Sabtu malam ditutup dengan roti bakar dan wedang jahe jam 1 pagi karena sushi yang cuma numpang lewat dan Supermoon yang gak ada super-supernya.

Dan maaf kalau ada salah-salah kata :)

There was someone whoever gave me a box of chocolate.
There was someone who ever gave me a bouquet of flowers.
There was someone who ever made me a chocolate with his own recipe and i tried so hard guessing the ingredients specifically .
All were happened in valentine. Year(s) ago valentine.

And today is valentine. No chocolate or bouquet of flower.
Just internet connection, 53rd Grammys, munchies, friends, and a maxi grasp of hope and love.

The City of Churces

2011-02-07T12:33:00.008+07:00

Right after all the business during three weeks holiday finally i had such a religious escape. With my travel-in-crime, Oci, we went to Manado.

Intermezzo. My mom's sister-in-law, who is my aunt, has sister. Her sister has husband who is my aunt's brother-in-law. And in Manado i stayed with my aunt's brother-in-law family.

Okay forget it. Too complicated.

I'm a greedy eater. There, pork everywhere. I hail pork, Ragey notably *really you guys, the pork-eater, should try it*. Also the hardcore taste of the sambal or chili. Sambal roa, sambal rica, dabu-dabu. Even they eat fried banana with chili. Tasty. Got horrible stomachache on third day. I had gained 3 kilos for only 5 days. Insane, huh? Luckily i already lost it after back home.

In Manado we could see a lot of churches every meter of the street. Christian is the major religion here. We had a chance to see Bukit Doa, Bukit Minut, Linau Lake, Tondano Lake, Kema Beach, Waruga. The trip had opened my eyes about the mighty of God.

Thank you for your kind hospitality Oma Evi, Tante Maya, Om Obby, Om Reli, Tante Siska, Om Heri, Tante Esye & family, Tante Fonny & family, Om Michael & family. We had a pleasure trip.
And also thanks Tante Mona who suggested Manado. Om Ruddy and Tante Hilen who contacted their relatives in Manado so we got a warmest stay.

Planning to go back there for the chances of diving Bunaken and sight-seeing Tangkoko National Reserve :)

Where are you Bloggie? :(

2011-01-24T21:01:00.002+07:00

Argggh. A mix up feeling between happy, sad, pleased, disappointed, and MAD.

Before.
Neyo was superb. He's sweet, attractive, sexy, and vulgar (specifically with "One in a Million" part). I still couldn't believe that i had a chance to see his live performance. And lucky me, i got the front row. Left side second row. Got plenty of photos and his live performance's recorded.

But but but !
After all the wild orgy with the dance and sing along thingy.
I LOST MY BLOGGIE !
Damn!
I feel messed up. I didn't remember how it was gone. The last thing i remember, i took photos with Melly after Neyo's performance and put it inside my purse. Then i accompanied Melly bought tee's outside the concert hall, still in the Istora area. There, i opened my purse put some sticker and postcard from the tee's booth without notice anything bizarre. Outside the concert hall we went around to see couple booths. Decided to take another photos with Neyo's background and when i tried to reach the Bloggie then tadaaa it was exactly not there. I shocked. Speechless. Panic attacked. :''''((
Desperately got no idea was it took by thief or fell down when i opened my purse. Stupid me.

We had asked the committee, the sweeper inside the concert hall and i realized it's completely gone. Clueless.

Bloggie accompanied, documented,recorded all the occasions and feeling. Much. Too much.

This is the pos t when i got Bloggie for the first time. Not even a year :'(

Oh God give me the power of let go, please!

Better Late Then Never

2011-01-17T23:03:00.004+07:00

It's so effing late, but Happy Cosmic Year 2011. Woot woot.

I had so much to tell. Big family vacation to Bintan and Singapore on New Year which i got sea sick on a first day. Pathetic. But i enjoyed the rest amusing week. Tough i wasn't so entertained by the huge fireworks at Marina Bay. There were no countdown (at my spot) so when it was happened with the light and boom sound for about 5 minutes, i was like "Okay that's it? Already 2011?"
Ya but i shopped and got 85% of my wish-lists :p

After the lovely vacation, i've dedicated my time to study. Geez, final test semester already? It was so hard to gather the spirit when you were still in vacation atmosphere. Brought all the papers, notes and handouts from Bandung. Back to Bandung a night before the test. SKS(Sistem Kebut Semalam) was the chosen one. Caused of that, i wasn't really sure about my only-three-days final tests result. Please God give me the best-est!

And now it's time for another holiday. Rumor says we'll have one free month. Perhaps i'll be piggy if practicing "The Art of Doing Nothing" the whole month.

Still i have my Dutch's and Senja film editing also another fashion tips articles. But i really wanna go travel. Sadly i don't find anyone who interesting to join my trip. Anyone?
Okay let's browsing!

SeaSickness T.T

2010-12-28T22:38:00.006+07:00

Liburan memang selalu menyenangkan. Tapi keadaan akan berbalik kalo pake sakit-sakitan.
Oke jadi hari ini saya bangun jam 4 pagi harus ngejar flight jam 8.20. Ceritanya mau ke Bintan. Kali ini sama keluarga besar rombongan 10 orang untuk hari ini(dan lusa akan bertambah menjadi 17 orang)
Semua berjalan baik-baik saja. Saya bangun paling pagi dengan keadaan badan super segar karena tidur tepat waktu. Mama yang kasi perintah harus bangun sepagi mungkin karena jam 5 musti berangkat dari Depok malah baru (di)bangun(in) jam 4.30. Heboh, rempong, alhasil berangkat 5.15 dengan doa semoga tidak macet karena hari ini hari senin. Untungnya lancar jaya 1 jam udah sampe. Meskipun dalam perjalanan agak ngelawak gara-gara keluarga Tante Dadut kunci kopernya ketinggalan di rumah.
Pesawat gak delay, sampe Batam tepat waktu, langsung dijemput buat ke Pungkur, pelabuhan domestik super abal yang bakal ngebawa kita naik ferry kecil ke Tanjung Uban.

Dari awal naik petugasnya udah bilang lebih baik duduk di belakang biar gak heboh kena ombak yang kebetulan lagi keuncangnya hari ini ditambah gerimis dan angin yang gak santai.
Belum ada firasat buruk. Santai menikmati ombak. Diombang-ambing berasa naik wahana Dufan. Saya ngantuk, saya nutup mata, ketiduran bentar. Bangun-bangun udah sampai di pelabuhan Tanjung Uban yang lagi-lagi gak mencerminkan pelabuhan. Musti naik mobil lagi buat ke penginapan di daerah Bintan Lagoi yang makan waktu 1 jam dengan jalan yang berliku-liku kanan hutan kiri pantai kadang rumah penduduk dikit-dikit.

Sampai kamar Dito, sepupu saya, mabok laut membuat minyak kayu putih menjadi pengharum ruangan secara instan. Dalam hati,"Jiah doi mabok laut."
Gue masih cool. Agak mual tapi taraf aman belum siaga. Berlanjut dengan ajakan makan siang BUFFET ALL YOU CAN EAT! 10 desert, pilihan buah&es krim, 5 jenis salad, 6 menu utama, 3 gubuk berisi pilihan makanan yang langsung dimasak koki. Tapi karena sadar dengan kondisi perut yang gak bersahabat makanan diambil dengan porsi wajar cenderung sedikit."Tumben Karin makannya sedikit."
Nah berarti porsinya kurang wajar kan alias kedikitan.
Kembali ke kamar perut begah. Tiba-tiba status siaga diberlakukan. Perut mulai nyampah berasa dikudek-kudek gak karuan. Sendawa-sendawa gak jelas yang pengen keluar cuma nyangkut di tenggorokan *iuh*. Badan lemes gak jelas.

Sodara handai taulan bekecipak-kecipuk dengan air. Menulis-nulis dengan media pasir laut. Sedangkan saya : Tidur.
Ahh sungguh bukan saya banget. Pepatah"Kalau tidur mah di rumah aja" malah saya langgar.

Bangun tidur para laki-laki penerjang ombak(jiah padahal kerjaannya cuma maen-maen aer sama foto pake rumput laut ditaro kepala) baru aja pulang. Jam 6 ternyata.

Pas mandi status saya berubah menjadi Awas. Meledak dah tuh isi perut keluar lewat mulut *anjir jijay*
Lemes banget sob. Berasa bocah anoreksia ini. Tulang-tulang pada sakit kena air dingin.
Makan malem lagi-lagi all u can eat dengan pilihan jauh lebih banyak apalagi dessertnya ada tiramisu, cheese cake, chocolate lava cake.
Babiks. Saya bahkan gak napsu buat makan. Ngeliat mereka makan aja saya eneg. Saya pun cuma ngambil buah sama jelly. All u can eat rugi bandar ini.

Kembali ke kamar dengan badan tetap lemas. Dan terbantu dengan si kuning mungil nan pedas menyegarkan, Tolak Angin. Yoi I lop yu pul deh enter wind's medicine.
Besok final AFF IndonesiavsMalaysia. Berada di sebuah kepulauan milik NKRI yang ditempati banyak orang Malaysia. Seru nih ah kalo nobar.
Semoga besok udah sembuh. Udah ke pantai sekeluarga besar kok malah mendem di kamar.

Kalau mau tidur mah di rumah aja. Hehe

"Hello Nineteenth, i am scared of you. You make me feels old. Haha"

That's my tweet after replied all the mentions on my twitter and post on my facebook wall. Ya 19th feels much kinda different with 18th. It feels like you're getting closer to 20th. And you're being compel to be mature and must prepare for facing the real world out there. haha lame

By the way, i had so much fun today. Had my monday morning routine. After that forcing my thumbs to push the keypad and keyboard saying Thank you. Oh dear friends you're such a kind persons with your words and wishes, i feel really blessed to have you all. Got a call from grandpa and mom. Also heard grandma said happy birthday via voice mail. So cute.

Then got a meeting with Film Seken to discuss about our film production. Ahh c'mon guys we're almost an half year with all the pre-production. Let's start the shooting!

Couldn't stay too long because gotta catch my Dutch's course. And today lesson is about "Gefeliciteerd" haha really fit with my day.

And the night is the best part of all. Met the girls on karaoke. Singing and dancing like crazy. After that we had a small lovely dinner at Sanade. Such a cozy place with good taste, fast served, and friendly servant.
The girls gave me three surprises with the cake, blueish blouse with cute-travel-clothes bag, and surprise coming from Ekel and Bimon :))

Back to Buds. Sleep with the new ages full with passion, smile, hopes, and dreams.
Thank you all. I love you :*

Haterlijk Gefeliciteerd Putri Karina !

So today is Islamic New Year holiday. Staying all day long at Budasel.
Woke up with the limp body caused by this-suddenly-peptic ulcer. For the past 3 days at Depok i never ate late otherwise i ate like a hungry dumbass. My mouth couldn't stop chewing, drinking, swallowing lot of kind of foods. Sweet revenge for anak-kos \m/. And this ulcer is the stupid bad effect i should suffer caused ate TOO MUCH food ckck

Then i watched cable-tv from Fanboys (Star Wars really drive die-hard-adult-fans crazy, huh?) to Twilight (Not the big fans but the romance thingy between human and animal is amusing me :p). Also worked on Basic Logic's assignment about Preposition. Oh geez it's so hard to make sentences and conclude them logically.

Connect through this wire to kill the boredom. And hated the other new layout-update from Mark Zuckerberg. Booo

Tomorrow is Grandpa's birthday. Once again i couldn't be at home to celebrate his feast with the whole family. Sorry Opa :(

hey little brother and sister good luck with your semester exam :*

RUN!

2010-11-29T20:10:00.004+07:00

While wait for buffering let me tell you something:

This is the very first film i've ever made. Though i ever made some experiments with handphone video camera back in highschool. Since junior high school i wish i could be a Film Director (btw i ever had a plan to attend film school).
But ended up at communication faculty isn't a bad decision at all. Got a chance to produce this short film for management communication 2009's orientation or stand as I-Comm 2010 with other 9 terrific crews from our-coincidence-production house-name "kotakide production"!

Huge thanks for -> all these awesome people!

A week for script revision, a day for reading, two days of shooting at GOR Pajajaran, and three exhausting yet fun days of editing at Jawa's (seriously i love this place no matter how "tidy" his studio is (: ). We thanks God for the wonderful weeks and all the miracles during all the process.

Three days ago was the premiere of RUN with 2 other films from another teams. First is Fajar di Hari Minggu from Tesdung and friends (i like the detail shoot). The second is Halaman Terakhir from Vindy and friends (perfect tense music scoring and benyo-hanged-at-the door scenes was really shocking).

We're newbie. We're still learning. But we created this film full with passion and hard work.
Still we need your suggestions and criticism. Enjoy :D

Back to the stages for the past 3 weeks. After GPN then Nasi Pejabat (closing of Gonzaga Festival 2010). It felt so good to be back at the place we're belong to, the place that developed us to be A person. Thanks to you all :)

2010-11-05T10:40:00.005+07:00

Was made 3 months ago. We were going to perform at GPN but the show was canceled that day. So there we were, gone-in-a-secs excitement, at Mike's apartment tried to cheer ourselves because of the officials anticipation with that organization.

Let's spread "Cintaku" for all the people in the world. Especially for Merapi, Mentawai, Wasior, and other parts of the world. God speak!

Hey Ben 10!

2010-10-18T00:19:00.006+07:00

You're growing too fast because playing that GTA and Bully too often.
You know too much with saying inappropriate words and phrase.
You're playing too much until your scores are really worst.
You're being peevish when you didn't get what you want.
You’re a seeker-attention when my friends came over.
You're watching cable TV too much so you’re acting goofy about having date with your girlfriend at movie and fine dining.
You're playing game too much that your English amaze me.
You're listening radio too often, Katy Perry and Black Eyed Peas could make you grooving.

Grandpa said that you got huge guts to have a fluent English conversation.
Grandma and mom said that you will be a playboy.
My friends said that you will be an annoying teenager in the future.

Nevertheless.
You keep mom joyful with your appearance.
You listen to my unimportant story while i was being superly-mellow.
You make sister laugh when you are in her room.
You make dad proud because you are his one-and-only-manly-partner.

Time moves fast. Date flies fast. You're 10 like Ben (Ben 10, your favorite cartoon :p)

We fight. We cry. We laugh. We smile. You’re still the little baby that growing and knowing too much.

Happy 10th Birthday, Dimas Aditya Tjondro!
My superfun, duperannoying, luperloveable, fuperhyperactive brother.

Sorry for not be home. Have a wonderful and special birthday party. Hoping Father Jesus gives you perfect weather, lots of your mates and relatives are coming over and give you massive gifts.

Be good and keep silly. I love you.

hugs and kisses,

Kakak Karin :)

summer parade

2010-10-03T21:49:00.004+07:00

We're drinking cappuccino. You turn on the lighter and smoke the cigarette. We talk a lot. Rain are falling like a shooting stars. The self-timer work by itself makes some memories.

Got myself a new looked. Got yourself a new cut. Still got ourself a quality thoughts.

Let me wish for another summer parade!

let's go!

Kolese Gonzaga

2010-09-17T14:44:00.007+07:00

Ini tulisan empat bulan lalu. Tadinya mau saya langsung publish tapi entah mengapa saya urungkan niat tersebut. Pas lagi organize file di netbook tadi siang sambil ngerjain tugas liburan, eh tiba-tiba nemu. Yo wes saya publish aja deh. Panjang banget loh ini. Sekali-kali curhat deh. Gpp kan?

Happy Reading! :)

Sabtu 1 Mei 2010
11.00-16.45
Dajok. malam minggu. sendirian

Saya itu mudah di stimuli, saya itu mudah di provokasi, saya itu mudah terinspirasi tapi saya selalu mencoba untuk meresepsi apa yang saya dapat.

Setelah membaca e-book milik Pandji dimana pada bab awalnya membahas tentang perjalanan akademisnya satu hal yang menarik mata saya dan membuat saya langsung berhenti membaca, mempersiapkan cemilan, dan tetap fokus adalah saat ia bercerita tentang masa SMA. Saya gak mau kelewatan bagian ini. Karena kisah masa SMA saya terlalu menarik untuk dilewatkan dan kebetulan SMA saya sama dengan Pandji.

SMA Gonzaga. Belum genap satu tahun setelah kelulusan saya di tempat ini. Sebentar lagi sih memang satu tahun. Selama satu tahun seakan saya tidak pernah kehabisan cerita akan sekolah ini. Saking seringnya menulis Gonz di timeline twitter padahal saya sudah kuliah semester 2, saya sering dipanggil “anak Gonz” oleh beberapa teman kampus.

Twitter sebagai sebuah ajang curhat colongan dan pamer colongan menjadi tempat seseorang bisa merasakan senang, sedih, kesal,dan perasaan campur aduk lainnya. Nah disinilah saya bisa lihat teman-teman SMA yang saya follow sering menulis i miss gonz, kangen gonz, #galaugonz.

Sampai beberapa minggu lalu teman saya mengupload credit title Year video angkatan kami. Kebetulan lirik dan nadanya saya yang buat. Entah lagi dapat inspirasi apa saat buat lagu itu tapi setiap saya dengar lagu itu saya selalu jadi sedih dan terbawa emosi. Saya masih ingat, awal kelas 3 saya diminta tolong oleh Dewi Maya, ketua Year Book, membuat lagu untuk Year Video. Dengan kebiasaan saya yang suka menulis lirik dan mencari nadanya dengan bersenandung, saya langsung merekam suara saya di handphone milik Jethro yang waktu itu saya pinjam untuk contact person Gonzaga School Meeting 2008. Terciptalah lagu berjudul Satu. Diiringi oleh Michael Jundeo semuanya menjadi lebih emosional. Tadinya mau dibawakan secara full band tapi akhirnya hanya dengan iringan keyboard. Tapi ternyata hasilnya ya lebih dan lebih.

Saat video itu diupload muncul banyak komentar dari teman-teman. Intinya semua kangen gonz. Ya memang wajar sih karena kita pun “baru” aja lulus. Tapi ada satu komen dari Goldy, ” udah kuliah woy.. masa gonz mulu.. -_-“. Benar memang, udah kuliah kok masih terperangkap masa lalu. Tapi saya timpali dengan “kangen selama bisa ”. Ya menurut saya buat apa menghindari rasa rindu kalau memang kita merasakannya, toh gak ada yang dirugikan selama kita masih tetap bisa maju dan berkembang. Yang salah kalau kita terbelenggu dalam masa lalu akhirnya hidup kita jadi stuck di tempat. Salah banget itu.

Kembali ke twitter. Timeline teman saya Edwin Djaja sering banget menulis Gonz dalam updatenya. Yang lain juga banyak sih tapi dia yang paling menonjol :p

Apa sih yang membuat saya tergila-gila dengan Gonz hingga saya gak habis-habisnya membanggakan almamater saya ini hingga sekarang disaat teman-teman kampus saya yang lain nampak biasa aja dengan almamaternya?

Saya kangen Gonzaga tidak hanya sekedar teman-temannya, suasana kelasnya (bukan berarti saya gak kangen lho. Kangen banget malah), tapi yang saya rindukan dan jelas banggakan adalah SEMUA nya. Komunitas yang ada di dalamnya, nilai-nilai yang ada di dalamnya. Saya dibentuk di Gonzaga. Berlebihan? Bagi saya tidak. Saya merasakan apa yang saya butuhkan dalam proses kedewasaan saya, ya selama di Gonz ini.

Sampai sekarang saya gak habis pikir kok bisa ada sekolah yang seperti itu. Saya masih ingat pertama kali tahun 2006 berada di ruang ujian. Sumpah itu soalnya susah banget. Bahasa Inggrisnya wow, Fisikanya ebusett. Praktis lembar jawaban saya sepi parah dan saya pasrah.

Pengumuman. Saya lolos tapi masuk cadangan urutan 19 atau 13 (saya agak lupa). Ya jadi hitungannya tetap belum lolos. Klo memang serius ingin masuk saya dan orang tua harus menghadap Pater Heru.

“Rin kalo uang pangkalnya kemahalan kamu jangan kecewa ya.”itu ucapan mama sambil menuju ruang Pater Heru
“Iya ma.”

“Kamu serius mau sekolah disini?”
“Iya Pater.”
“Ini nilai tes kamu 3,4 lho.”

*Shock*

Gila mikir apa saya dapat nilai tes 3,4 tapi masih bisa masuk cadangan. Berarti yang lolos otaknya kebuat dari apa.

“Pater,tapi bukan berarti saya harus bayar lebih karena anak saya masuk cadangan kan?”
“Ya bu kita melihat dari kondisi ekonominya. Tidak mungkin kalau orang tuanya satpam tapi kita bayar setara dengan yang orang tuanya direktur.”

Saya sadar sekolah ini tidak mengejar materi tapi lebih kepada keinginan dan keniatan siswanya.

“Iya Pater saya mau sekolah disini.”

Dan di hari pertama Masa Orientasi Siswa semua terlihat seragam. Saya belum menemukan yang spesial dari sekolah ini. Dengan arsitektur jadul; disandingi oleh fasilitas yang megah seperti hall basket,lapangan bola, dan aula. Tapi apa sekedar fasilitas?

Setelah MOS selesai dengan atribut yang super duper absurd, saya menemukan banyak kesenangan, kegembiraan, kegilaan di tempat ini. Batik bebas, pake kulot jadi bisa ngangkang sesuka hati, kemeja gak usah dimasukin, warna sepatu suka-suka hati. Punya jatah absen 12 kali selama 1 semester. Sayangnya saya terlalu rajin jadi gak memanfaatkan kesempatan cabut ce ilee. Intinya bebas tapi harus bertanggung jawab!

Teman-teman seangkatan yang kompak tidak peduli status, suku, agama semua diperlakukan sama dan mampu berbaur. Ringan tangan, rajin menolong, baik hati boleh nebeng gak usah bayar uang bensin hehe, bisa diajak susah bisa diajak hedon, gila, dan norak.

Oh iya belum lagi senior yang gondrong, muka sangar, baju asal-asalan. Waktu MOS mah ihh serem kaya preman semua.

Tapi begitu MOS selesai dan udah kenal sungguh asik-asik sekali. Ngumpul bareng, bisa ngobrol apapun suka-suka, ngegebet senior cwo gak usah takut ditindas senior cwe hehe, kadang-kadang suka noyor(kurang ajar emang :p), dan kapan lagi bisa manggil senior gak usah pake “Kak” meskipun udah angkatan jebot yang udah tua dan saya aja gak kenal. Gak ada ketakutan. Yang penting kita bisa menghormati dan tetap segan sama mereka. Kita semua keluarga.

Tradisi komunitas Gonz yang selalu saya ingat adalah tebeng-menebeng. Yang bawa mobil “harus” merelakan mobilnya ditebengin. Yang kelas X nebeng kelas XII ataupun sebaliknya. Lintas angkatan deh satu mobil. Terkadang isi mobilnya bisa melebihi kapasitas seharusnya. Mobil sedan isinya bisa 8 orang. Dari situ muncul banyak geng tebeng-menebeng dan geng tujuan pulang. Dari geng Kopaja 605(arah tujuan Pondok Gede), geng Bintaro, geng Pamulang, geng Cibubur, geng Cimanggis, dan saya adalah anggota geng Depok! Bahkan kalau udah keluar dari area sekolah yang bawa mobil pribadi nemu anak gonz yang nyangsang di jalan nungguin angkot kadang suka ikut diangkut. Pernah ada cerita dari angkatan lama, ada yang pake batik di pinggir jalan diajak nebeng, ternyata setelah diangkut bukan anak Gonz, gara-gara pake batik aja makanya diajak nebeng haha.

Dan juga tradisi dadah-dadah melambaikan tangan setiap pulang sekolah. Seru banget loh itu. Begitu bel pulang sekolah, yang naik motor, naik sepeda, naik mobil buka kaca dan melambaikan tangan, ”Pulang ya pulang.” Kalau gak dadah-dadah dan gak buka kaca dibilang sombong. haha

Tiga tahun disini saya banyak sekali belajar. Poin-poin yang selalu saya ingat

· 3C (Compassion, Conscience, Competence)

· Ad Maoirem Dei Gloriam

· Nilai-nilai yang luar biasa (kebersamaan, kesederhanaan, kejujuran)

Dan sejujurnya ketiga poin tersebut selalu saya bawa kemana-mana dan telah menjadi bagian dari diri saya. Doktrin Gonzaga berhasil masuk dalam diri saya. Seiring berjalannya waktu doktrin yang saya dapat tidak ditelan mentah-mentah namun diolah sedemikian rupa sehingga dapat dipraktekkan di dalam kehidupan.

Seperti apa rasanya?

Bisa jadi novel kalau saya cerita lebih banyak lagi.

Hanya saya dan yang pernah menjadi bagian dari masyarakat Gonzaga yang tahu makna itu semua. Tidak ada yang dapat menggantikan Kolese Gonzaga. Hanya sebuah kalimat pendek untuk mendeskripsikan itu semua “Saya Bangga Pernah Menjadi Bagian dari Kolese Gonzaga” :)

Simon Cabaret - Phang Nga Bay - Phi-Phi Island - Bangla road - Pathong beach

August 23rd-27th 2010

The place where women and "women" are getting harder to differ.

The place where gay couple look so easy to find in public places.

The place where we could see foreign men hand in hand with i-have-known-she-is-men.

Actually i believe Indonesia got more interesting place.

By the way, today is my first day of third semester. Back to Bandung after 2 months. Getting homesick. Typical. But i think this week's going to be ineffective. Next week for about 1o days i'll have lebaran holiday.

Now going back to daily routine. Starting as a student of communication management major. GANBATTE!

Mrs. Hogenson on The Incredible ?

Yeah i think Mrs. Hogenson is much look alike me. Although she's short(which is so different with me) but she's smart so that's fine.

My auntie who cut my bang called me "Meilan" because i look alike chinese.

See my lovely reliable red backpack behind me? Am going to Jogja today on 9pm with Mondang and Ervay. Had a bad experience using 36riburupiah's train a year ago but there's nothing much left in my pocket and we'll spend a week there. So facing the pickpocket, stinky and stuffy air, the possibility to burping and farting all the time, akua and mijon seller distraction while sleeping, using Progo is the unwise decision.

Not packing my things yet. Too busy(and lazy) to move my ass from this couch.

Wish me have a safe trip ;)

The Hip Country

2010-07-13T19:06:00.004+07:00

Sharing sedikit tentang perjalanan ke Singapore tanggal 7-9 Juli kemarin.

Supir taksi cewe. Mukanya mirip Felis pula. Rasanya sama kaya waktu saya naik angkot Cicaheum-Ledeng sama Fanny dan Ratri. Waktu mau turun teriak dengan lantangnya,"Kiri bang!". Pas kasi duit, jiahhh supirnya cewe. Dan mungkin gak ada bedanya sama supir bus transjakarta yang malah lebih jeger karena bawa bus segede gaban gitu.

Berkunjung ke sebuah studio yang lagi hip banget di kalangan keluarga Indonesia.
Lagi ngantri mau masuk eh dicolek sama Devita. Ebuset dunia kecil amat ya. Udah masuk, lagi jalan penuh kebimbangan menentukan arah, eh malah ketemu temen "ehem" dekeetnya Ratri, si Bimon. Tambah kecil lagi dunia. Dan si mak tiba-tiba ketemu temennya. Selama kuping mendengar nyaris Bahasa Indonesia semua. It means Dufan is so old fashioned :b

Naik arung jeram Jurasic Park yang isinya saya, Dimas, dan Nadya. Sedang kan 6 sisanya 1 bule cewe dengan anak-anak dan keponakannya. Naik wahana saya berasa masuk kelas conversation. Nilai plusnya saya jadi berasa kaya di film. Si Dimas, adek saya, gak mau kalah. Dia sok ngomong caper,"Ooh so wet." kalo ga "Wow i'm scared"-.-

Akhirnya makan nasi Briyani yang udah diidam-idamkan dari 6 bulan lalu. Dan yang kali ini piringnya pake daun pisang. Nah setiap meja dikasih teko minum eh tiba-tiba masuk seorang India, buka mulutnya, dan dia langsung minum aja ya kan dari teko yang ada di meja lain. Gak kena mulutnya sih tapi kan iuhh banget. Jadi rada gak napsu deh :/

Yang paling oke adalah saya dapet CD OST 500 Days of Summer yang ya alloh susah banget nyarinya di Jakarta. Pernah cek di Gading harganya sampe 300 ribu rupiah. Bisa kere seketika. Sedangkan saya dapet di HMV dengan harga 120ribu rupiah. Dan akhirnya nyerah juga untuk beli CD&DVD Jason Mraz Beautiful Mess-Live on Earth yang bikin mupeng melas ngarep dipunya si Nadka.

Dari Singapore saya menghitamkan diri di sebuah pulau menarik di Indonesia. Next post okay ;)

Snackie Oh.

2010-07-04T16:14:00.006+07:00

the crispy lusty snack i eat all the time. toast+cheese slice+ceres+butter. oh god, they're such a gorgeous multiple choice of tremendous fat that i made into a snack i called "heavenly melt". and sometimes put it and soak it into a glass of hot or cold milk chocolate. it's getting fatty madly melty.haha

oci and i had a plan to have diet and do a lot of exercise in order to be ~~delightfully~~ sexy (jethro said it's an inappropriate phrase haha). we had 1 month and 3 weeks to go. less of carbo much of sweat. yeah but it sounds so hard to do considering that i'm on holi-heap-fat-day. so far still had nothing to do. 2 months of holiday. online all day long. nothing so interesting to do. gonna off from the boring routine 3 days later with my family. let's get some fun! ;)

let's make some plan!

Dajok to Budasel

2010-06-16T13:20:00.003+07:00

Selama satu tahun saya jadi penghuni Dago Pojok 32 yang bapuk bejamur dengan sinyal XL yang hanya muncul di spot tertentu tapi fasilitas oke punya. Banyak cerita di tempat itu apalagi di minggu-minggu pertama kuliah. Dimulai dari ospek, belajar bareng, kerjain tugas bareng, tempat nunggu mata kuliah selanjutnya, tempat temen kampus numpang online dengan wi-fi “vira” yang asoy, dan yang paling sering jadi tempat numpang buang hajat. Nasib wc kostan lebih bagus dari wc kampus. Apalagi jarak ke kampus yang cuma 10 langkah kecil. Yang menemani saya dengan Indovision dan Indosat M2 setiap hari apalagi malam minggu. Yang membuat saya bisa tiba-tiba #galaugonz dan ingat masa lalu. Tempat dimana saya menciptakan blog ini.

Hari Minggu kemarin saya dapat bantuan dari Lala dan Congor yang kebetulan lagi jalan-jalan ke Bandung. Makasih banget lho untung ada kalian. Sekarang saya jadi warga Budasel alias Bukit Dago Selatan. Ya saya pindah kostan. Teman kampus saya, Mellya, bikin rumah dan dimanfaatkan jadi kostan biar ada yang nemenin dia. Nah saya salah satunya, bersama Oco dan Ratri. Karena konsepnya yang memang untuk rumah tinggal, semoga di Budasel semangat belajar semakin tinggi, kreativitas semakin merajai. Dan jangan sampai tempat ini membuat saya jadi pengen ngemil terus , males olahraga, eh jadi gendut.

notes : Yang pengen kuliah di Bandung, hati-hati kurang olahraga bisa membuat kalian gila(terutama yang cewe). Makanan Bandung yang enak dan murah ditambah udaranya yang dingin bisa bikin kalian melar dalam sekejap.

:)

my latest post gave you a suggestion bout being active in the concert.

But while i waited(note:WAIT not WATCH) for pitbull after saykoji's performance,there were a bunch of girls behind me.and these girls were super annoying .i thought they were too hyperactive.it's a concert,b*tch not a club.they screamed near my ears,wore a mini,smelt bad kinda cigarette.the java crew gave water,they got it opened it and the water splashed out and made my body became wet.

Hey put this on your mind b*tch,"it's a CONCERT not a CLUB"

but then, when pitbull getting started,DJ gave an awesome choices of nowadays songs from B.E.P to Lady Gaga.all the crowds were going nuts seriously.they danced and sang along.tadaaa,pitbull came into the stage.with the formal suit,a black sunny,shinny bald head,and the way he "shake that thang" ;tendor was getting hot.

forget about the bad experience that ruined my mood while waited;i screamed,jumped,danced,put my hands up in the air like dozens time.hey it already started after i waited ,baby. so it was a right time for being hyperactive.cause when a music starts,all you need to do is dance!

overall the concert was freaking awesome.thumbs up for the crowd who didn't stop dance from beginning until closing.dance-able beat from pitbull's songs made the crowd getting mad from one song to another.finally,i could attend a concert with an active(too active) crowd.even though there were 2 girls at the front row just stood still and almost did umm,nothing.fyi,i've got the third front row.and i saw manohara and her tall body with that wedges(melly who stood beside mano said her armpit smelt bad hahaha).and also nikita willy with a fully make-up and heels (what on earth were you thinking about wearing a heels to a concert?)

Pitbull ,u're hiphoping my night. \m/

baru saja kembali dari Soundlicious.acara administrasi negara unpad.dago tea house susananya mendung-mendung dingin romantis aduhai.musik yang disuguhin juga pas banget.kalau punya pasangan lebih mantab lagi(desperate mode:on).saya datang saat adhitia sofyan main,musisi yang saya selalu dambakan untuk lihat secara live.kesampean lah disini.pas bawa adelaide sky,saya mau nangis(cengeng) liriknya ughh banget.agak sedikit mengingatkan masa lalu.sayang dia gak bawa deadly storm lightning thunder.it's one of my favourite song.apalagi versi rekaman yang ada suara petirnya beneran.merinding. selain itu juga ada the trees and the wild,endah and rhesa,mocca,white shoes and the couple company.

setelah nonton kampoeng jazz kemarin,soundlicious,dan beberapa konser lainnya di bandung maupun jakarta saya ingin sedikit cerita tentang kebiasaan penonton indonesia yang cenderung pasif di beberapa acara yang menampilkan artis dengan kualitas oke.jujur ya saya lebih seneng lihat alay-alay joget gak jelas di acara musik yang nampilin ungu daripada lihat orang yang datang ke suatu acara musik yang menampilkan deretan musisi oke hanya untuk gaya(diri di paling depan panggung tapi cuma diem gak gerak).diam dalam arti sebenarnya lho.tidak nyanyi,tidak ikut bergoyang,bahkan sedikitpun bergerak setidaknya menghentakan kaki atau kepala,dan tidak ada ekspresi.jadinya saya berpendapat orang datang acara musik untuk sekedar tampil(dress up is a must!) bukan untuk menikmati musik yang disuguhkan.sebagai contoh ya,waktu saya nonton the ting-tings di soulnation tahun lalu saya diri di barisan kedua dari depan panggung.kalian tau kan musik the ting-tings seperti apa.dan penonton yang diri di paling depan hanya DIAM dari awal-hingga akhir acara.tangannya ditaro di pagar pembatas.speechless kali ya liat bule.saya sama randra gemes banget liatnya.

sebagai orang yang tidak hanya menjadi penonton tapi juga pernah ditonton,menghadapi penonton pasif itu sungguh menyebalkan.kenapa?karena kita jadi menebak-nebak,"sebenarnya kalian menikmati gak sih?" memang kenyataannya diam adalah cara beberapa orang untuk menikmati musik yang ditampilkan.tapi klo musiknya upbeat terus cuma diam itu saya suka gak ngerti.klo memang karena malu,please deh jangan malu.dalam musik gak ada kata malu malah adanya gak tau malu.kalo kiri kanan kalian pasif jangan peduliin.dalam hati bilang,"woy man musiknya asik gini kok lo malah diem sih."

rasakan deh saat kita larut dalam irama , menonton suatu acara musik jauh lebih bermakna dan menyenangkan. kami para musisi menampilkan musik untuk kalian nikmati.jadilah penonton yang aktif.

resapi nadanya,ikuti iramanya,mari berdansa :)

pengantar ilmu manajemen komunikasi : buat event / penelitian / penyuluhan

pengantar ilmu jurnalistik : buat tabloid

komunikasi lintas budaya : performance budaya (swiss/betawi)

ya itulah 3 tugas akhir semester 2 dari 8 mata kuliah yang kesemuanya berbobot 3 sks.

jadi bayangkan betapa rusuhnya keseharian saya hingga awal juni nanti.semua adalah masalah skala prioritas.pintar-pintar mengatur waktu.

untungnya kelompok saya udah dapet event buat mankom.kelompok saya kerjasama dengan Sekolah Sinematografi Storylab(yang kebetulan saya adalah salah satu muridnya :p)dalam acara ManggaMalamMingguan.

hayuu barudak bandung sok atuh datang :D

untuk tabloid ,kelompok saya ambil tema "Seni dan Budaya Bandung".sedang dalam proses pengerjaan.agak ribet tapi beruntungnya di bandung seni dan budaya emang gak pernah mati buktinya bulan april dan mei banyak acara yang bertemakan budaya.jadi rasanya kok pas banget ya.

nah yang performance budaya ini saya masih bingung.budaya yang diambil aja masih gak tau apa.sedangkan minggu kedua bulan juni sudah harus presentasi budaya tersebut dimulai dari seni,gaya berpakaian,hingga makanannya.

nah itu baru 3 mata kuliah .masih ada 5 lagi.sejauh ini belum ada tugas akhir tapi dosennya suka aja kasih tugas mingguan.ayo-ayo semangat kaum selaw 2009.tapi untungnya sebanyak apapun tugas itu saya asik-asik aja.ya gimana gak asik tugasnya bikin tabloid,bikin acara.

cause when you're happy you always have a great day ;)
