To start click on the above link yaa
Ok ok ok so this is what I did last Saturday in Bandung. I had a good Saturday night but I was home at 12am-ish already. Because I was still a bit hyped so I couldn't sleep yet, I tried to think of something to do. And then I looked at my MP3. And then something "weird" just suddenly crossed my mind: "Hey, what if I try, to search for a dangdut radio station, and listen to it for at least 1 hour??"
So I did.
And I'm glad I did.
I was laughing and giggling by myself for the first 30 minutes, and then Wudhi said hi on YM then we laughed and giggled together hahaha. This is good!!!
Radio yang gue dengerin judulnya Rama FM 104.7, semboyannya Geboy (kl ga salah sih...because they said that alot!)
Potongan lagu pertama yang gue denger,
"Lara hati....ku lara hati..suami lupa diri...sudah mabuk judi, juga mabuk minuman, masih saja kakang tergoda janda kembang..tak sudi ku tak sudi..."
background lagunya: everybody..everybody start rockin'..house..music..jump jump!
huahahahaha.....liriknya keren, backgroundnya juga keren (ga singkron sama tema liriknya padahal tapi who cares yang penting geboy!
The second song (yang beberapa saat kemudian gue dapet judulnya adalah keong racun, soalnya ada yg ngerequest tapi penyiarnya bilang "yah Keong Racunnya udah diputer euy kang Wawa...yang laen lagi atuh? Salam2nya, sepesialnya buat siapah..?". And the song goes like this:
"Dasar kau keong racun, ey baru kenal langsung ngajang tidur. Ngomong nggak sopan santun, kau anggap aku ayam kampung? Mulut kumat kemot matanya melotot, lihat bodi denok pikirannya jorok. Mentang2 bohai aku dianggap jablai. (dst.)
hihihihihi yang ini keren juga...but again, who cares yang penting geboy!
Dan yang terakhir, ini yang dahsyatnya...keluar pesan2 dari Bang Oma yang lalu dilanjutkan dengan nyanyian beliau...dan ternyata bener loh bok....dia ngomongnya mendesah2 gitu, selama ini gue cuma denger2 dr film2 atau joke2 aja kl niruin Rhoma Irama, ngomongnya pake mendesah2 gitu kannn....gue pikir pada lebay eh ternyata emang begiiituuu!!
And here it goes:
"Kaloh semuah sudah mendengarkhan Rama...ngaphain..mendhengarkhan yangh lhainh..Ghebhoy..Marhih...khitha samakhan shuara...Haaaaaa (sambil dicengkok2in..kalo ngga ahli mah susah mo ngikutinnya, kontestan American Idol jg ga ada yg bisa lah...dan lalu lagunya masuk disertai dengan intro gitarnya yang terkenal itu)
Kita manusia yang berketuhanan...tentu tak pantas bersikap seperti setan. Kau dendangkan kesesatan...kau dewakan nafsu syeetan...tiada lagi halal haraaaammh..(dst.)
Ahahahaha gustiiiii.....this is gold!!
Yah eniwei I had a good laugh that night hihihihihi....toop top lah
Ok on a more serious note...mungkin alasan kenapa dangdut itu populer dan merakyat, adalah kalo loe perhatiin teksnya, bahasanya lugas banget ya. Gak pake kiasan2 (example: Kla "bulan merah jambu luruh di kotamu"), ga pake bahasa inggris2an yg susah dimengerti, pokoknya bahasa lugas and literal lah. ;p

Taksi Bombastis
Ahh...
Hari ini adalah hari yang cukup produktif sepertinya. I finished two out of my three projects which deadlines are before the end of this month. The other one is about 60% done so I can work on it from home tomorrow (public holiday yay!) and continue on Friday should I find myself caught up in the abundance of games and chinese novels in my room (eh he he he).
Hmm..so...what is the thought of the week ya...
Oh iya! Para pengguna jalan (especially cars (to be even more specific, taxis!)).
1 kesimpulan: Gelo!
You know what?This is actually from Friday. I remember distinctly, it was a pink (or salmon, maybe) taxi. Taxi Mersindo no 008. Kan gue nyetir di Tendean nih...itu teh jalan 2 jalur yang (of course) jadi 3 jalur karena pada ngga bisa deh liat jalanan lengang dikit...sepertinya aturan mesjid kebawa2 ke jalan raya ("kalo ada saf kosong ntar diisi setan loh"...begitulah guru2 agama waktu masih sekolah dulu memotivasi kita untuk merapatkan barisan..hh). Yah eniwei...ini taksi teh ya...ngagokiiin banget...jadi kalo mobil depannya dia udah jalan teh...dia ngga langsung maju gitu..jadi kayak ada delay sekitar 10 detik sebelom dia maju. Lumayan lama loh 10 detik teh, terutama kalo loe adalah mobil yg dibelakang si taxi pinky itu! Sekali-2kali mah gapapa lah gue masih mafhum lah...nhaa secara ini lagi ngantri lampu merah kan berarti cycle maju-brentinya banyak tuh kalo kita masih jauuuuuh dr lampunya. Duuuh sebel banget deh pokonya mah.
Makanya teman2 sekalian....inilah salah satu bukti kenapa sarapan itu penting. Karena kalo loe kurang sarapan energinya jadi kurang, dan darah jadi kurang terpompa ke otak, trus jadinya proses mekanisme otak loe jadi kurang lancar. Otaknya mo muter juga males (iya..iya...gue tau ini asumsi yang sangat besar sekali untuk perilaku si tukang taxi itu, tapi udah deh biarin aja.). Nah eniwei....tengah2 jalan akhirnya taxi itu udah ngga didepan gue lagi..dia pindah2 jalur jadi pokoknya udah di depan lah udah ga keliatan..seneng dan lega lah gue..lalu gue melanjutkan perjalanan sambil bernyanyi...
dan beberapa saat kemudian.....
Ciiit.....!! gue ngerem mendadak gara2 ada mobil nyalip tiba2 ga pake sen ga pake pelan2 ga pake otak ataupun hati nurani (huh!). Gue deg2an dan langsung lemes karena ternyata di depan gue itu....udah ada sedan pink bertulisan: Mersindo - TARIF BAWAH - 008...
hiks...

Late lunch and a wifebeater shirt
Did you see that??
Itu kejadian hari Sabtu kemaren waktu gue makan di Caza Suki...
You would think that the management would kindly suggest the gentleman to put his shirt back on? Nope they didn't.
It was pretty disturbing as I can't stop turning my head towards that guy and felt a little sick to my stomach everytime.
Not mentioning the time when he helped himself to the buffet..still with the wife beaters on..I was just hoping and praying silently that he wasn't sweating..They had just refilled the buffet with fresh meats and vegetables and yet I lost my desire to get more food. Luckily I was pretty much full when he started getting food from the buffet line. Hhh.....bastardo...
People are just so damn......interesting! You'll never know what they're gonna do and how outrageous they can act!!

Balada si nenek di hari jumat
Huffff......tauuu gaa sihh
Dasar si nenek pelupa...
Jadi begini ceritanya, gue teh tadi malem dapet bb baru dari tante atiw (hiehie), trus ud semangat tuh mo buru2 make...jadi sebelom tidur g ud set up semuanya..trus ud bisa tuh nyala segala macem...tapi datanya kan masih kosong tuh, bangsa2nya address book, bbm contacts, aplikasi facebook jg belom ada...yaudah g install lah tu desktop managernya...biar datanya bisa gue transfer dr bb yg lama ke bb yg baru. Eh....udah semangat2 gitu, tauunyaa data cable bb g yg lama ketinggalan di kantor...ugh sebel bgt gue...dan g jg rada gemes kenapaaa jenis colokan bb yg baru ini harus beda ama bb yg biasa sihhh? dia pakenya yang lebih kecil giituuu...kan jadinya repottt.
Tapi ngga papa...gue masih bisa bersabar...bawa aja bb yg barunya ke kantor besok...urusin semuanya di kantor..gampang lah..beres...hehehe. Yaudah gue rapihin semuanya, bb barunya pun gue charge, trus gue plastikin lagi dengan khidmat, disiapkan untuk dibawa ke kantor dan siap dipakai untuk keesokan harinya. Dan gue memandang bb baru itu dengan senyum terharu penuh kasih sayang, ngga sabar menunggu esok hari, lalu gue pun tidur.
Dan pagi datang...
Dee and tante atiw said good morning, and I happily replied. But then a second later, gue baru sadar. Dudul, bokap gue kan juga punya blackberry, brarti punya data cable juga dong!!
Ngeeeeng....tau gitu kan semua urusannya udah bisa beres tadi malem dan gue udah bisa dengan riangnya pake itu bb baru hari iiiniii. Ugh...! Yaudah g langsung nyalain laptop lagi mo nyoba transfer data saat itu juga, terus gue nyamperin bokap minjem data cable. Ternyata bokap lupa naronya dimana dan harus dicari dulu. Hhhh...ga jadi lagi soalnya ntar kesiangan kalo pake nyari2 dulu mah.
Tapi ngga papa...minor setback...gue tetep pada rencana awal aja...ngurusin semuanya pas udah di kantor...sokay sokay...dan gue pun meneruskan rutinitas pagi gue dengan tetep ceria.
Dan gue pun sampe di kantor...
Dengan semangat gue menyiapkan semua2nya...bb baru dikeluarin dari plastiknya (juga dengan khidmat), bb lama dielus2 dengan juga penuh rasa sayang....berterima kasih atas pengabdiannya buat gue selama ini..menemani di saat macet dan ngantri..trus gue mulai menyambungkan bb lama gue ke laptop, back up datanya, dan memulai proses transfer data. Hhh (tersenyum dengan arif dan tenang)....here we go..
"okay we're half way there...." sekarang tinggal mindahin datanya ke bb baru...dan gue pun mencoba menyambungkan data cablenya ke bb yg baru. Dan lalu gue tersadar....bahwa bb baru ini butuh data cable yang berbeda..
...
...

kupret
data cablenya ketinggalan di rumah.

ahhh....kenyangnyaaaaa....baru balik lunch tadi di Bellagio sama Medina, mbak Wenny, mbak Shinta and mbak Hani. Makan ikan patin bakar yumm...enakk....dan amat mengenyangkan dan murah hihihi. tapi trus tadi pas mo pulang eh di luar ujan gede gituuuu.....jadilah kita naek taxi beramai2 pulang ke kantor (beramai2 tuh spellingnya with 1 or 2 rs sih?)
yah eniwei....my current wants for today: jagung bakar dan jalan2 di sepanjang Michigan Avenue!
Ya..ya..ya....saya tau memang tidak nyambung, saya tau. Tapi boleh dong, namanya juga wish list.
Pengen nonton 7 pounds juga euy, my mission of finding a movie that can really make me cry masih belom terpenuhi. Kayanya terakhir gue nangis nonton The Bucket List deh, itu juga bentar doang nangisnya, ngga ada 2 tetes2 acan..
Aku merasa rugi untuk membayar tiket film drama tapi filmnya ngga bisa bikin gue nangis. Rugii...ii
Next...mari kita bahas mengenai 1 topik yang menurut gue cukup perlu untuk diketengahkan. Sebenernya gue udah mau membahas ini sejak lama tapi belom sempet2 aja. Eh apa udah pernah gue bahas ya? Yeah well anyway secara gue udah lupa, jadi kita bahas lagi aja ngga papa.
My current (and has been for a while) pet peeve: Bapak2 yang udah berumur, berpakaian seperti ini: tshirt & jeans, dengan lengan tshirtnya dilinting.
My question is: why???
Gue ngga tau mereka bermaksud apa dengan melakukan hal tersebut. Soalnya jelas2 diliat dari segi akal sehat maupun estetika, ngga masuk aja gitu, ngga bagus. Nggak ada bagus2nya!!
Apakah mereka bermaksud untuk terlihat lebih muda?
Karena menurut saya gagal tuh usahanya, kalo emang niatnya itu sih.
Apakah mereka bermaksud untuk mengikuti trend?
Menurut saya ini juga gagal. Karena trend lengan dilinting sekiranya sudah berakhir berbelas2 tahun yang lalu.
Apakah mereka bermaksud untuk menciptakan trend baru?
Menurut saya ini kurang berhasil. Karena jelek.
Apakah mereka bermaksud untuk menarik hati wanita2 muda dengan menunjukkan bahwa "nih saya masih trendi loh, lengan baju saya dilinting"
Menurut saya ini juga bukan rencana yang efektif. Karena wanita2 muda yang mau sama mereka, kemungkinan besar mengincar sesuatu yang lain dan bukanlah pembuktian ke awet muda an mereka dengan lintingan lengan baju tersebut.
Jadi kurang lebih emang ngga ada alesan yang cukup bagus atau kuat untuk pelintingan lengan baju ini.
Oleh karena itu....sadarlah wahai para bapak2 sekalian....

Hooooo...kaay....
This is my third post for today. THIRD!
Some of you may wonder..."what the heck is she doing? blogging writing nonsense in the middle of the day?"
Well..I'll tell you what, I am wondering the same thing too..
It's just that...I can't do anything else today because I just can't. I don't feel like I have the energy, nor do I want to do anything else. Plus, I don't know why but my keyboard keys feel really plushy and comfy...I just love the feel of them on my fingers...haha
Hm...quite full, just ate a big Mozza burger from A&W, after thinking before that "I wasn't going to eat lunch because I'm too lazy to chew" nonsense....turned out that I ordered that big burger and finished it (slowly but sure)...took me about 30-45 minutes ish to finish that big thing.
Dan sekarang....tinggal urusan sakit perut. Now that I am full....I feel the need to empty my stomach and go to sleep. On my cozy...cool...bed...nice.....(mulai ngelamun)

Ngeburn CD aaah...tadi di sebrang gue beli CD kosong buat diburn2 trus didengerin di mobil. Harus cari yang dungces dungces nih biar gue semangat nyetirnya dan ngga bosen kalo misalnya macet gitu...better than blackberry (no it's not.) hehehe
Truus...ini aja g lagi menutup dunia luar gini, pasang earphone sambil dengerin beyonce "Diva", abis ini Gigi yang Diva..hehe samaaa yaaa
ni earphone kenceng juga ya...padahal udah seminim mungkin volumenya, ga bisa dibikin lebih pelan lagi, kalo dipelanin lagi mah udah nol alias mute.
Lah kok yang nongol savage garden ya..yaudahlah gapapa enak juga kok (dih padahal playlistnya juga gue yang nambahin sendiri ga sampe 5 menit yang lalu kok ngga nyadar gitu siiih)
Huwaa...perutku kembung sekaaliii....
*sigh*
fly fly to the moon and back...la la la....
enak tuh...bisa jalan2...
kalo misalnya bisa jalan2 gue ngga mau sih ke bulan tapinya...kurang menarik ah kayaknya sepi2 aja gitu. Mana dingin lagi (sotoy mode: ON)
enakan juga liburan ke mana gitu...hiking..atau naek sepeda ke ancol...lewat jalan tol...lebih menantang daripada jalan2 ke bulan

ad: butuh jamu kuat
Ah..kenapa ini siii...gue mo ngelanjutin kerjaan gue kok ga bisa2...padahal udah tinggal 2 training module lagi trus beres deh...
Pengennya cuma nulis, nulis, dan menulis. Tapi lieur juga da ngga ada ide mo nulis apaan...
Tadi malem sebelom tidur tiba2 gue laper berat gitu jadi nyari2 makanan.....
Hooooo mungkin gara2 itu kali ya makanya gue ngimpi yang aneh2 gitu terusnya...huehuehue make sense make sense
Akan tetapi ini imbasnya rada panjang, jadi lelah letih lesu dan tak bergairah gini --> *potensial untuk dijadikan bahan iklan jamu kuat *
Weh padahal gue punya red bull loh 1 kaleng lagi di kulkas...tau gitu gue baawaa...ini mah mo keluar makan siang juga males (ga mungkin banget sih hahaha).
Eh tapi bener loh lagi males ngapa2in gini..
Hmm..terus apa lagi yaa....haduh ini mp3 gue sudyah sekarat pula batrenya...jangan ikut2an gue dong cil (namanya kecil item, atau item kecil...tergantung emaknya aja lg mood pengen manggil apa)..kamu harus bersemangat dan berenergi! Biar gue bisa lanjut mendengarkan radio lagi, menemani ke tidak semangatan gue hari ini.
Ahh dasar orang yang tidak berterima kasihhh! Udah dikasih long weekend, masuk kantor bukannya refreshed rejuvenated, malah nongol2 dengan muka Garfield full-on..ditambah pegal2 sisa dr mimpi2 ga jelas dan ga maju2 kerjaannya.
Maju dong ah (apaan sih)
Jadi inget helm doremonnya Presya....
random sekali sih ini...
hm...

Stinky Carpet and X-Men
*sniff sniff....*
itulah hal pertama yang gue lakukan setelah keluar dari lift yang baru sampe di lantai kantor gue. Iiih karpetnya bau apeeekk...kalo misalnya kantor gue di basement atau lantai dasar yang kira2 memungkinkan kena banjir mah gapapa, masih make sense. Lah ini posisinya di lantai 12, masa bisa banjir...kecuali..kalo misalnya smoke detector tiba2 nyala trus fire sprinklernya jadi membanjiri karpet, bisa juga...tapi kayanya engga deh (keukeuh). Untuuuung yang bau karpet di jalan masuk menuju kantor gue aja, tapi di dalem kantornya engga. Kalo sampe di dalem kantornya sendiri juga bau apek, beuh bisa ijo muka gue deh pas pulang ntar (lieur, maksudnya).
And moving on to the next topic...
Taadi malemm gue mimpi aneeeehh...gue ngga inget lengkapnya gimana deh pokoknya for some reason, I was with a guy in my dream, he kind of liked me but then heard somewhere that I like XMen...then he asked me "u like xmen, huh? so you hate the other xmen? (I was assuming he was talking about the bad guys, Magneto's bunch)...it sounded like a normal question, right? But the way he said it, he was really...I don't know keliatannya napsu aja gitu trus ud mau marah2 ngamuk gitu misalnya gue bilang "iya gue ngga suka penjahat2nya" gue sampe takut. Jadinya gue diem aja dan dia kayak yang udah siap mau nerkam gue gitu...dan tiba2 dia ngejar gue sambil teriak2 "jadi kamu nggak suka sama Beast ya???? Menurut kamu Beast itu jelek ya? You think you're better than him? huhhh???"
Buset deh gue sempet bengong sesaat terus gue ngacir lah..buset ni cowok, perasaan sebelom2nya kelihatan seperti orang normal...jadi ceritanya kejar2an deh sama dia..dan g ternyata salah satu member XMen gitu soalnya gue bisa ngacir cepet banget kayak terbang jet gt deee...
Naaah....belom selesai nih...abis tu...ga tau gimana caranya, tiba2 dia ud ga ngejar g lagi, tapi jadi berubah. Dia jadi cewek gitu dan gue jadi superhero cowok (nah loh). Dan ternyata dia itu some kind of a witch dr grup yang jahat, kayanya cantik tapi dia ga ada mukanyaaaa...bajunya sutra biru melambai2 gitu deh. Ga tau gimana pokoknya dia jadi nempel terus ke gue (yang adalah laki2 ;p) dan bilang "I am not going to let you go...you will be stuck with me forever..nyahahahaha". Dan gue dalem hati kayak yang...dih ni cewek agre banget sih trus g bilang aja ke dia "eh lepasin dong...gue mau pergi nih...lepasin dong..." tapi ga lepas2...Ga tau gimana dia jadi setan terus ahirnya gue baca2 Al Fatihah gitu deh...akhirnya lepas juga...
Trus gue balik ke "markas" Xmen gue...eh disana udah heboh. Ternyata gara2 gue "panik" tadi, kekuatan gue bikin reaksi kacau. Pas gue liat ke langit, udah kayak mau badai gitu, yang udah bergulung2 gitu dehh...temen2 xmen gue pada yang: eh dikontrol dong tuh kekuatan loe, tanggung jawab tuh balikin lagi!
Tapi ga biiisaaaa.....susah banget soalnya udah lumayan gawat. Sampe temen2 gue ama atasan2 Xmen gue juga urusin tapi ga bisa juga. Akhirnya kita sampe ngambil 2 sisters dr penjara yg kekuatan mereka ada hubungannya ama nuklir. Rencananya mereka bakal mengalirkan nuklir itu ke badan gue, buat boost, biar storm gede banget yg berasal dr badan gue itu bisa gue kontrol (and yes, I was still a boy there..hh..). Iiituuu yaaa.....those 2 sisters...ternyata kekuatan lainnya adalah bisa menciptakan some kind of sexual hysteria gitu deeh...pakeannya juga yang anonoh (*baca: ga senonoh). Pokoknya jadinya atasan2 gue yg pada kalem2 gitu jadi cekikikan sendiri...trus jadi centil2 dan pake2 make up gt yg cowok2nya..untung gue ngga terpengaruh dan gue minta bantuan asisten gue (cewek asia gt, don't ask me why) yg sama2 ngga terpengaruh buat nyelesain semuanya deh...
Tapi sayang, sebelom semuanya beres, gue udah kebangun.
Dan anehnyaaaa pas baaangun, badan gue pegel2 semuaaaaa.....!!! Dari tengkuk, the sides of my body, tangan, pinggang...hmm...padahal gue tidurnya ngga gerak2 gitu...posisi g pas mulai tidur td malem dan pas g bangun kurang lebih sama kok...dan selimutnya jg rapi..brarti g tidur ga banyak gerak kan? Cuma g pegel2 kayak yang abis berantem2 beneran...hayo looooo
Uhh...aneh2 aja ni mimpi. I mean, when somebody asked "anybody have a dream about XMen?" I want to be the ones who raise their eyebrows, thinking that it is a silly question...instead of being the ones who raise their hands....dudul...
Aand...how I became a boy in my dream was beyond me. You can ask anybody I am 100% girl, girly, girl!....right?
itulah hal pertama yang gue lakukan setelah keluar dari lift yang baru sampe di lantai kantor gue. Iiih karpetnya bau apeeekk...kalo misalnya kantor gue di basement atau lantai dasar yang kira2 memungkinkan kena banjir mah gapapa, masih make sense. Lah ini posisinya di lantai 12, masa bisa banjir...kecuali..kalo misalnya smoke detector tiba2 nyala trus fire sprinklernya jadi membanjiri karpet, bisa juga...tapi kayanya engga deh (keukeuh). Untuuuung yang bau karpet di jalan masuk menuju kantor gue aja, tapi di dalem kantornya engga. Kalo sampe di dalem kantornya sendiri juga bau apek, beuh bisa ijo muka gue deh pas pulang ntar (lieur, maksudnya).
And moving on to the next topic...
Taadi malemm gue mimpi aneeeehh...gue ngga inget lengkapnya gimana deh pokoknya for some reason, I was with a guy in my dream, he kind of liked me but then heard somewhere that I like XMen...then he asked me "u like xmen, huh? so you hate the other xmen? (I was assuming he was talking about the bad guys, Magneto's bunch)...it sounded like a normal question, right? But the way he said it, he was really...I don't know keliatannya napsu aja gitu trus ud mau marah2 ngamuk gitu misalnya gue bilang "iya gue ngga suka penjahat2nya" gue sampe takut. Jadinya gue diem aja dan dia kayak yang udah siap mau nerkam gue gitu...dan tiba2 dia ngejar gue sambil teriak2 "jadi kamu nggak suka sama Beast ya???? Menurut kamu Beast itu jelek ya? You think you're better than him? huhhh???"
Buset deh gue sempet bengong sesaat terus gue ngacir lah..buset ni cowok, perasaan sebelom2nya kelihatan seperti orang normal...jadi ceritanya kejar2an deh sama dia..dan g ternyata salah satu member XMen gitu soalnya gue bisa ngacir cepet banget kayak terbang jet gt deee...
Naaah....belom selesai nih...abis tu...ga tau gimana caranya, tiba2 dia ud ga ngejar g lagi, tapi jadi berubah. Dia jadi cewek gitu dan gue jadi superhero cowok (nah loh). Dan ternyata dia itu some kind of a witch dr grup yang jahat, kayanya cantik tapi dia ga ada mukanyaaaa...bajunya sutra biru melambai2 gitu deh. Ga tau gimana pokoknya dia jadi nempel terus ke gue (yang adalah laki2 ;p) dan bilang "I am not going to let you go...you will be stuck with me forever..nyahahahaha". Dan gue dalem hati kayak yang...dih ni cewek agre banget sih trus g bilang aja ke dia "eh lepasin dong...gue mau pergi nih...lepasin dong..." tapi ga lepas2...Ga tau gimana dia jadi setan terus ahirnya gue baca2 Al Fatihah gitu deh...akhirnya lepas juga...
Trus gue balik ke "markas" Xmen gue...eh disana udah heboh. Ternyata gara2 gue "panik" tadi, kekuatan gue bikin reaksi kacau. Pas gue liat ke langit, udah kayak mau badai gitu, yang udah bergulung2 gitu dehh...temen2 xmen gue pada yang: eh dikontrol dong tuh kekuatan loe, tanggung jawab tuh balikin lagi!
Tapi ga biiisaaaa.....susah banget soalnya udah lumayan gawat. Sampe temen2 gue ama atasan2 Xmen gue juga urusin tapi ga bisa juga. Akhirnya kita sampe ngambil 2 sisters dr penjara yg kekuatan mereka ada hubungannya ama nuklir. Rencananya mereka bakal mengalirkan nuklir itu ke badan gue, buat boost, biar storm gede banget yg berasal dr badan gue itu bisa gue kontrol (and yes, I was still a boy there..hh..). Iiituuu yaaa.....those 2 sisters...ternyata kekuatan lainnya adalah bisa menciptakan some kind of sexual hysteria gitu deeh...pakeannya juga yang anonoh (*baca: ga senonoh). Pokoknya jadinya atasan2 gue yg pada kalem2 gitu jadi cekikikan sendiri...trus jadi centil2 dan pake2 make up gt yg cowok2nya..untung gue ngga terpengaruh dan gue minta bantuan asisten gue (cewek asia gt, don't ask me why) yg sama2 ngga terpengaruh buat nyelesain semuanya deh...
Tapi sayang, sebelom semuanya beres, gue udah kebangun.

Pagi yang Aneh + Manda yg lg kesel...Not a good combo
Pertama2, sebelom kita mulai marilah kita berdoa bersama2, semoga sang penulis blog yang manis dan baik hati ini segera dikaruniai kesembuhan yang bener2 sembuh (bukan sembuh penyakit yg satu trus penyakit satu lagi langsung nyusul seperti sekarang! ahhh geramnyaaa dirikuuu.....ngga selesai2 ini penderitaan tubuhkuuuu)..Aaaamiiiiinnnnn (melototin yang ngga ikut ngaminin)
Huff...whuusaaa..hh.....everything's going to be allright girl...whooo...saahh...
Well....berhubung hari ini (lagi2) gue ngga ada kerjaan....hell it is so darn often I don't have anything to do here and have to ask around for things to do, which is actually on my job desc.."it is the junior consultant's responsibility to ask for something to do should he/she does not have anything to do so as to maximize his/her value to the company",...heck I dunno...as somebody who was always on the go and busy doing something, doing nothing for a long period of time can actually be excrutiating. No wonder I got all this endless sickness that are caused by stress (at least that's what I read from the internet). I mean...you can ask around for things to do for so long...until you start to wonder if they really need you here. Dan sekarang jadinya gue gatel2....really annoying, annoying itchy SOB that attacks my palms and the soles of my feet!! I can't even walk because of it, it's reaallly...reaalllyy annoying.
Okkay....whooo..saahh....restrain your inner preman oh dear Mandy.....whoo...saahh..
Darn it I really2 need something to do to take my mind off of this itchy SOB...(restraaainn....!). Ok2 sorry....what I meant was I really need something to do, to work on, to take my mind off of this darn tootin' itches...(how about that for a PG-13 version? much better?)
Well anyway...tadi pagi gue liat bbrp hal aneh...
1. There was a guy, standing on the sidewalk...facing the wall, feet shoulder-width apart (just like somebody who's taking a piss) and I was like..OMG is that guy for real? Why is he taking a piss on the side of a road that is filled with people passing by??
And it turned out that the dude was actually just talking on the phone. But why would he stood that way anyway while he could just...oh I don't know...stand up straight? Like normal people? Weirdo..
2. There was another guy standing by the side of the road with a girl...they looked like they were either trying to cross the road, or waiting for an angkot or bis or whatever public transportation that they need. So what's so weird about that??
Oh...nothing weird....except that the guy was wearing a full-covered motorcycle helmet and I was pretty sure that the dude does not have any intention of riding a motorcycle because...the circumstances and the fact that there's no motorcycle parked around the area clearly shown that the guy did not or was not planning ride a motorcycle.
So I guess he was just trying to be careful crossing the road by wearing a helmet. Phew...talking about safety precautions!! Nice..haha
Hm...soo......back to the issue of my doing nothing at work.
Do I feel guilty about not doing anything while getting paid?
Hell no...this can already be categorized as a torture and I deserved to get something out of it!!! *hosh..hosh..hosh...--> ceritanya lagi emosi
To think about sitting on a desk from 8:30am-5pm doing nothing!! Oh how I feel like my youth is wasted..I could've taken a class somewhere..maybe taking French and dance lessons? Minus the this and that diseases, because I'm sure I will not be frustrated if I am busy doing something! Boy wouldn't that be a huge plus...
So I don't know guys....what do you think....should I quit or should I go on? That is the major question...hmmmm

Amid the Grieving, A Rare Act of Sportmanships
-Associated Press-
The coach never considered any other option.
It didn't matter that his DeKalb, Ill., High School basketball team had ridden a bus two and a half hours to get to Milwaukee, then waited another hour past game time to play. Didn't matter that the game was close, or that this was a chance to beat a big city team.
Johntel Franklin scored 10 points in the game following the loss of his mother.
Something else was on Dave Rohlman's mind when he asked for a volunteer to shoot two free throws awarded his team on a technical foul in the second quarter. His senior captain raised his hand, ready to go to the line as he had many times before.
Only this time it was different.
"You realize you're going to miss them, don't you?" Rohlman said.
Darius McNeal nodded his head. He understood what had to be done.
It was a Saturday night in February, and the Barbs were playing a non-conference game on the road against Milwaukee Madison. It was the third meeting between the two schools, who were developing a friendly rivalry that spanned two states.
The teams planned to get together after the game and share some pizzas and soda. But the game itself almost never took place.
Hours earlier, the mother of Milwaukee Madison senior captain Johntel Franklin died at a local hospital. Carlitha Franklin had been in remission after a five-year fight with cervical cancer, but she began to hemorrhage that morning while Johntel was taking his college ACT exam.
Her son and several of his teammates were at the hospital late that afternoon when the decision was made to turn off the life-support system. Carlitha Franklin was just 39.
"She was young and they were real close," said Milwaukee coach Aaron Womack Jr., who was at the hospital. "He was very distraught and it happened so suddenly he didn't have time to grieve."
Womack was going to cancel the game, but Franklin told him he wanted the team to play. And play they did, even though the game started late and Milwaukee Madison dressed only eight players.
Early in the second quarter, Womack saw someone out of the corner of his eye. It was Franklin, who came there directly from the hospital to root his teammates on.
The Knights had possession, so Womack called a time out. His players went over and hugged their grieving teammate. Fans came out of the stands to do the same.
"We got back to playing the game and I asked if he wanted to come and sit on the bench," Womack said during a telephone interview.
"No," Franklin replied. "I want to play."
There was just one problem. Since Franklin wasn't on the pre-game roster, putting him in meant drawing a technical foul that would give DeKalb two free throws.
Though it was a tight game, Womack was willing to give up the two points. It was more important to help his senior guard and co-captain deal with his grief by playing.
Over on the other bench, though, Rohlman wasn't so willing to take them. He told the referees to forget the technical and just let Franklin play.
"I could hear them arguing for five to seven minutes, saying, `We're not taking it, we're not taking it," Womack said. "The refs told them, no, that's the rule. You have to take them."
That's when Rohlman asked for volunteers, and McNeal's hand went up.
He went alone to the free throw line, dribbled the ball a couple of times, and looked at the rim.
His first attempt went about two feet, bouncing a couple of times as it rolled toward the end line. The second barely left his hand.
It didn't take long for the Milwaukee players to figure out what was going on.
They stood and turned toward the DeKalb bench and started applauding the gesture of sportsmanship. Soon, so did everybody in the stands.
"I did it for the guy who lost his mom," McNeal told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "It was the right thing to do."
They may not remember our record 20 years from now, but they'll remember what happened in that gym that night.
? Dave Rohlman, head coach of the opposing DeKalb team on what his players will take away from this experience.
Franklin would go on to score 10 points, and Milwaukee Madison broke open the game in the second half to win 62-47. Afterward, the teams went out for pizza, two players from each team sharing each pie.
Franklin stopped by briefly, thankful that his team was there for him.
"I got kind of emotional but it helped a lot just to play," he said. "I felt like I had a lot of support out there."
Carlitha Franklin's funeral was last Friday, and the school turned out for her and her son. Cheerleaders came in uniform, and everyone from the principal and teachers to Johntel's classmates were there.
"Even the cooks from school showed up," Womack said. "It lets you know what kind of kid he is."
Basketball is a second sport for the 18-year-old Franklin, who says he has had some scholarship nibbles and plans to play football in college. He just has a few games left for the Knights, who are 6-11 and got beat 71-36 Tuesday night by Milwaukee Hamilton.
It hasn't been the greatest season for the team, but they have stuck together through a lot of adversity.
"We maybe don't have the best basketball players in the world but they go to class and take care of business," Womack said. "We have a losing record but there's life lessons going on, good ones."
None so good, though, as the moment a team and a player decided there were more important things than winning and having good stats.
Yes, DeKalb would go home with a loss. But it was a trip they'll never forget.
"This is something our kids will hold for a lifetime," Rohlman said. "They may not remember our record 20 years from now, but they'll remember what happened in that gym that night."

KITE
I hid myself from failure and fear
O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
Don't hide yourself inside till I'm old
O my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see
I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all
They tell themselves that each word from your lips
Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall
Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
Don't hide yourself inside till I'm old
O my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see
I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips
Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me
Over the twilight you're listening for me
Darling, go to sleep
Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be
Loved so deep
Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string
Till you cut through my tether and changed everything
From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same
So I darted back quickly to spell out your name
And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite
You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight

Faint
Yak Valentine's Day akhirnya secara resmi diharamkan sama MUI Jabar...hihi it's kind of funny....makin banyak hal2 yang difatwain haram sama MUI, kayaknya kok makin ngga credible aja ya tu? At least buat gue pribadi sih gitu ya....jadi makin ngga ada artinya aja deh.
Ini juga bukan berarti gue pendukung Valentine's Day ya...gue sih go with the flow aja...mo ngerayain hayu...mo ngga ngerayain juga hayu...Banyak sih emang yang berpendapat kalo "kasih sayang itu kan harusnya tiap hari...ngga cuma pas valentine's day doang". Iya kok bener...gue setuju...cuma ya nice aja juga buat couples buat punya 1 hari special dimana kita bisa ngelakuin something extra buat someone special kita. Realistically speaking...ga mungkin deh tiap hari pasangan kita ngasih bunga/kado lucu/permen kan...ga ekonomis juga mending duitnya ditabung buat masa depan hihi. So...buat yang emang ga ngerayain Valentine's Day...bisa juga kan hari special itu dirayain misalnya pas setaun jadian...atau yang emang udah common maybe like wedding anniversary...or something like that lah...So true...couples don't have to celebrate Valentine's Day..for whatever reasons including religious. But they do need to pick a day as a special day for both of them. Keeps the romance alive, if you know what I mean ;)
Yah eniwei..kok jadi ngelantur gini ya hehehehe. Gue akhirnya udah masuk kerja lagi hari ini albeit being a rag doll figure (head lolls on top of the chair, that type of thing)..masih lemes banget lah intinya..tapi the good thing is I felt better when I woke up this morning...and just hope that it doesn't deteriorate any further than it has been up to now. Ohh..still 2 more hours to go...wish the time can go sooner...getting faint nih...huhuhu I wish somebody could drive me home. Tadi sih rencananya pergi mau dianterin aja tapi berhubung supir bokap ngga masuk hari ini jadi gue nyetir ndiri deh...Man...so not looking forward to the drive home..lemes abis
Yah eniwei lagi....am so sorry for missing Edhy's wedding last weekend. It sounded like so much fun. I was looking forward to go, heck, I organized the trip! But because of this gosh-darn virus I had to stay. But it's good that I still got a chance to meet Roberto. Well, congrats2 Edhy, you're officially a husband now!!! Yay Edhy!
Ini juga bukan berarti gue pendukung Valentine's Day ya...gue sih go with the flow aja...mo ngerayain hayu...mo ngga ngerayain juga hayu...Banyak sih emang yang berpendapat kalo "kasih sayang itu kan harusnya tiap hari...ngga cuma pas valentine's day doang". Iya kok bener...gue setuju...cuma ya nice aja juga buat couples buat punya 1 hari special dimana kita bisa ngelakuin something extra buat someone special kita.

Ngeeng
Oh dear Lord what's happening to me. Feeling full of spirit but my body betrays me. One thing after another hits me through and through, from a little thing to a bigger issue. I need to just keep going on and on. But how can it be when it is my own body and my own mind that hinder me.
So, no support from my physical side, and constant maze from the emotional side. What do I have left?

Brrrrrr.......
Aseli dingin bangettt disiniii. Sering banget ngga sih gue ngeluh ttg dinginnya kantor gue? hihihi...you would think this girl will eventually wisen up and bring a jacket to work and just leave it there just in case the temperature drops again to fridge-level like now (my fingers are purple!)
Tadinya hari ini gue ada jadwal meeting ma klien, ketemu ama dir um nya sekalian. Tapi akhirnya ngga jadi and diundurnya sampe hari Selasa (today's Thursday) next week. Wew....hehehe
Gue kok jadi sangsi ya ini project bakal jadi..yah we'll see dehh
Waah minggu depan mo ke Pemalaang...mo jalan2 naik keretaaaa..semangat deh soalnya udah lama ngga naek kereta. Terakhir naek kereta kalo ngga salah waktu sebelom gue hijrah ke Amrik deh, waktu tol Cipularang belom jadi, jadinya gue kalo travel Jkt-Bdg senengnya naek kereta.
Moga2 kereta yang ke Pemalang kayak Parahyangan. Soalnya gue pernah nyoba naek Argo buat jkt-bdg juga, tapi gue ga sukaaaaa.....walopun katanya Argo supposedly lebih baru, lebih cepet n lebih modern (jadinya lebih mahal juga ituuuu). Gue lebih suka Parahyangan soalnya goyangnya lebih kerasa hahahahaha. Hehhh jangan pada mikir jorok dulu dongg (yes, you Budi...haha gue nembak langsung gt), maksudnya kan enak gitu serasa lebih keayun....jadi bobonya lebih nyenyak...Sama dgn teori gue bahwa tidur di mobil itu adalah tidur terenak dan ternyenyak soalnya serasa dibuai, goyang2 gitu kann...hehehe
Trus2...gue juga belom pernah ke Pemalang...kalo kata temen gue Joko the pilot sih, aerial view (alias pemandangan dari atas)nya Pemalang itu bagus...jadi penasaran. And...to attend Pemi's wedding....ahirnyaaa gue (insyaallah) bisa dateng jg ke nikahan temen St. Louis...selama ini g skip mulu krn gue ngga pernah ada di lokasi yg memungkinkan. Aryo, Ro'i, Yoyo....hiks hiks maap ya guyss....gue jg pengen banget dateng hiks hiks. Untung gue udah sempet ketemuan ama Ro'i dan istrinya yang lagi hamil (hihihi lucunyaaaa).
Truuus....apa lagi ya...gila nih gue kayanya sedikit demi sedikit mulai keilangan kreatifitas gini..apa gara2 jarang di stimulate ya? Mungkin gue harus lebih sering berkarya lagi before it's too late and I lose all my creative juice huhuhuhuhu
