MOVE!!!

2011-05-15T01:13:00.002+07:00

My dear friend, Samuel, had offered me my own domain for my own blog for as long as I can remember. Finally, a few months ago, I gave in. I said, I am now ready for my own domain, as long as he teach me EVERYTHING there is to take a good care of it. It was a deal and he even PAID for it. (considering he might not be able to give me any present this year, I am HAPPY). So, I now have a new 'home'

I Crave You

2011-01-09T01:58:00.003+07:00

I never know that you can say "you crave a boy" before hearing this song. but, well, it's a song, there's no right or wrong grammar in a song. anyway, Besides all the Katy Perry songs, this song has been playing and replaying in my head. enjoy!Flight Facilities feat Giselle - I Crave YouWhy can't you want me like the other boys do? They stare at me while I stare at you Why can't I keep you safe

I know I'm almost 4 years behind, if I want to post this thing on my blog. But I don't give a damn. I still think that this is THE MOST BRILLIANT thing in the world regarding friendship!So, thanks to Samuel who never gets bored on telling me how great the show is.

Small Trip: LÜneburg

2010-12-19T16:02:00.015+07:00

The next stop in my Small Trip was Lisa's hometown: a town called Lüneburg. Well, as I wrote before, the focus of this small trip, besides experiencing new things, was to see how Lisa lives her daily life. Her hometown Lüneburg was a part of her daily life for about 20 years. Lisa was born in Lüneburg and her parents lived in the same house for around 22 years now. This town is a really big part

Teman Baik (Bagian 10)

2010-12-15T18:03:00.005+07:00

Setelah bermacam-macam tulisan tentang Teman Baik, akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk membuat tulisan ini. Di edisi ke-10 ini aku akan bercerita tentang salah satu Teman Baik yang sudah aku temani sejak tahun 2007. Ingatan aku tentang pertemuan pertama kami agak kabur, sebenarnya. Mungkin kami berdua pernah bertemu sebelum tahun 2007, tapi aku benar-benar tidak ingat. Yang

I 'found' this song in a funny way. I was watching a showbiz news, I think it was on VOA, and there was a report about Sara Bareilles's concert somewhere in USA. I never heard of this song before the news, but I was so interested on the concert review, I watched it 'till the end. Out of my curiosity, after watching the review, I downloaded the song. and guess what? I freaking like it!!!and I was

Alright, my third post about my small trip in Europe. This time, the highlight is a small town called Mainz.And again, you're maybe wondering, what is Mainz's significance so that I just have to visit it?Well, back to the reason where I want to know basically everything about my hostsister's, Lisa, life, Mainz is a big part of her life. Lisa goes to University of Mainz, or nowadays they call it

Okay. I just HAVE TO post this on my blog. I'm sorry. I just simply have to. For the records, I know nothing about this Korean fever, which I think is bigger than the Bieber Fever in Asia. I mean, take the whole country of Thailand for example, a huge number of people are crazy about Korea. And I know some girls that are head over heels about Korea. The korean drama, the boybands, the hair, the

2010-11-07T22:14:00.025+07:00

Here's the second post about my small trip in Europe. Before telling more stories about my small trip in Europe, I should tell you that I wouldn't have been able to do any of the trip if I didn't go for a year to Canada. Without realizing it, my Canadian experience has countless effects in my life. This story below wouldn't have existed if I didn't go to Canada for a year. The next part of my

Teman Baik (Bagian 9)

2010-11-06T13:09:00.003+07:00

Akhirnya, I came to my senses, aku menendang kemalasan aku dan memutuskan untuk melanjutkan tulisan tentang Teman Baik. Di Bagian 9 ini, aku mau memperkenalkan teman-teman baik yang aku 'temukan' sekitar satu tahun empat bulan yang lalu. Mereka adalah teman-teman KP Pertamina. Aku gak bakalan pernah bisa melupakan pengalaman Kerja Praktek aku selama 1,5 bulan di Balikpapan. Pengalaman itu membuat

2010-11-06T12:34:00.005+07:00

I don't even remember the first time I heard this song. It's been too long of a time. To be honest, when I first heard the song, I was not a big fan. I think the song was just too slow, the melody was too whiney, and the singer was someone much older than me (and not cute too) It's not until I really read the lyrics that I love this song. Plus the countless number of time this song was chosen

Small Trip: Weisbaden

2010-11-05T00:03:00.011+07:00

So, thanks to Eat Pray Love the movie, after watching it I got self-actualized. Unlike after reading the book, I got nothing!My self-actualization resulted that I had to kick my own lazy ass and start writing about a little trip I made around Europe. It was a fairly small trip, considering I only spent a month in the continent and only went to 4 countries. So I thought, since I was only traveling

Wisuda

2010-10-28T22:59:00.007+07:00

Entah mengapa, aku sama sekali gak ada ide, aku belom pernah membahas soal wisudaan di blog aku. Mungkin karena aku gak mau pamer-pamer kalo aku mau wisuda, waktu aku diwisuda.Mungkin karena aku gak mau ikut-ikutan banyak banget orang yang cerita soal wisudaan diblognya. Mungkin karena aku sibuk, sebelum dan setelah wisuda. Mungkin juga karena aku emang belom berniat aja waktu itu.Selama 4 tahun

Stay The Same

2010-10-23T21:23:00.010+07:00

I was back behind my car again for a couple days, but somehow the radio played this song a lot!I wonder why...this song was popular back when I was still in grade 7. I remember one of my good-good friend was asked to sing a song, back when we were in grade 7 and he actually sang this song with all his heart. It wasn't like his voice was good, it was pretty bad, actually. plus all this cool-guys

2010-10-20T01:33:00.007+07:00

I think it's always funny how people changes to see things differently. For example, this song that I wanna talk about. It's really funny how I was avoiding it, until it became one of my most favorite songs ever since the last few years. I just read that this song was first released in 1995. Back when I was just a little girl. I liked the melody but I wasn't old enough to really get the meaning.

That's why, with my heart suffering more than ever, my advice is that you, having finished

I have been meaning to write this song on my blog after graduation, but I guess it just slipped my mind. Until couple days ago, I put my iPod on shuffle and this song was played and suddenly I had the urge to put it on my blog.

Friendship is A Party

2010-09-02T21:35:00.002+07:00

I am now really pissed. In my 23 year of life, I have never give so much effort to a relationship called friendship. and believe me, I have a lot of friends. and my friends come from all around the world. But I never give so much effort to a friendship like what I have been doing in the last few months. To be honest with you, I don't consider myself as a good friend. The way I see a friendship is

Ospek: Ya atau Tidak?

2010-09-01T11:37:00.004+07:00

Aku benar-benar tidak mengerti kenapa orang-orang sampai saat ini masih memperbincangkan soal ospek ITB dan membuang muka terhadap ospek-ospek yang dilakukan oleh banyak universitas lain.Yah, sekarang sih memang sedang tidak ada berita soal ospek. soalnya ospek terpusat ITB udah berakhir sekitar sebulan yang lalu. Tapi tunggu aja, kalau nanti ada berita sedikit miring tentang ospek pasti semua

I don't know why I feel that I need to write one more posting about Thailand. So, here are some of my miscellaneous thoughts about Thailand. about the people, habits, and unique and different things that I can't resist, in random order-of course. 1.

2010-08-24T21:02:00.018+07:00

My trip in Thailand was ended in Bangkok: The City of Angels. I was really happy about my stay in the city because I got to stay in a really cool hostel called Lubd, which means "good sleep". The hostel was right under a BTS Station and it was across the street of MBK and in walking distance to Siam area. The most fascinating thing about Bangkok is the transportation system. Aside from the

The Free Land - Phuket

2010-08-22T23:23:00.012+07:00

So, my second stop in Thailand was Phuket. here's the thing: I love beach. Beach is one of the most fun places I like to go. there are lots of freedom when you're in a beach. you don't have to worry about your clothes, because you're going to take it off, anyway. you don't have to worry about how you wear your hair, because it's gonna be wet, anyway. you don't have to worry about screaming out

The Free Land - Chiang Mai

2010-08-22T04:41:00.016+07:00

Okay. I finally talked myself out of laziness and wrote this.I'm gonna share a little bit of my traveling experience. This time, I went to Thailand. Back when I was still in Canada, I met a Thai girl named Jariyamart Chawandit, or Jo for short. To be honest, I never really wanted to go to Thailand. To me, Thailand wasn't very appealing. It's just a south-east asian country, similar to Indonesia.

Host

2010-08-15T10:36:00.002+07:00

I think it's in my gene. My family simply likes being a host. well, maybe with my sister as an exception. (my sister hates being the center of attention, therefore she would rather choose not to have the urge to be a host)It's true. ever since I was little, my parents have had friends, family, and family friends come over to our place. My mom would be busy in the kitchen for two straight days. In

Selain sahur dan buka puasa, taraweh adalah bagian yang paling penting dalam Ramadhan bagi aku. Intinya, perbedaan Ramadhan dan bulan-bulan lain itu paling terasa saat sahur, buka puasa, dan taraweh. Waktu kecil, sampai sebelum kuliah deh, aku selalu rajin taraweh. Alasannya macam-macam. mulai dari gara-gara disuruh ngisi buku ceramah, sampai ngeceng-ngeceng centil. Ngisi buku ceramah sih alasan

2010-07-25T14:06:00.002+07:00

" 'I Wanna Hold Your Hand.' First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That's what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blow job or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can't hide.

Aku gak pernah punya deh fase galau dalam hidup aku. Kalau ada perasaan-perasaan menggelikan gitu, biasanya aku nulis, nyanyi-nyanyi kayak orang gila, nonton film romantic-comedy, atau nonton film pure-comedy, demi mengalihkan perasaan-perasaan itu. Akhir-akhir ini kadang suka curhat, tapi ke beberapa orang tertentu saja. NAH, demi mengkombinasikan (hampir) semua yang aku sebutkan diatas, nih ada

Minggu Pagi di Victoria Park

2010-06-21T06:43:00.003+07:00

Semuanya bermula dari seorang teman yang nulis di twitter kalau film Minggu Pagi di Victoria Park itu lumayan bagus, sayangnya udah hampir hilang di bioskop. Jadilah kemarin, setelah mengerjakan revisi dengan malas-malasan, aku dan Dede memutuskan untuk menonton film ini. Tanpa menonton trailer filmnya, tanpa tau cerita film ini tentang apa, tanpa mengingat Victoria Park itu dimana, aku langsung

Disney and Pixar has done it again!!!Toy Story 3 is the BEST Toy Story ever!!!I remember the first time I watched Toy Story. I was really small, grade 5, maybe. and I was fascinated by it. I was, also, still small enough to imagine that my toys did actually talk to each other everytime I left them alone. It was a wonderful moment, watching Toy Story. Toy Story 2 didn't leave that huge of impacts

2010-05-23T23:09:00.002+07:00

I finally watched Shrek Forever After. I don't know if it's just me or it is really the publication's problem, but I really didn't hear much about this movie. I mean, with Shrek, Shrek 2, and Shrek The Third, the publication went crazy. The teasers and trailers were everywhere and everyone was talking about them. Even people who were not big fans of cartoon turned into Shrek's biggest fans.Shrek

As today was my last exam in ITB ever (I hope, at least), I went out to celebrate it. I'm exaggerating. I know. LOLI went to watch Robin Hood and it was weird. I'm not saying it's bad. I'm also not saying that it's good. It was just an okay movie for me. Yesterday, before watching it, I was eavesdropping to my friends conversation about this movie. they said it was bad and the weird thing was

Kalau ada yang bilang ada orang yang gak butuh sebuah geng untuk hidup.

I was wondering around on Sunday when Tomo asked me to go for a movie the next day. I asked some people around, it turned out only Denny and Sara that were interested to go with us. So we ended up going to movies together. But this previous beginning of the week is not an ordinary movie watching routine. It was something else. It was a marathon. I watched three movies in two days. what do you say

I have no idea how many uncle and aunt I'm supposed to have. I am overwhelmed by my own family. To be honest, I am not a fan of my extended family, as I am an egocentric individualist. Sure I like being with some of my cousins. they were a lot

I just watched It's Complicated this morning.I really wanted to watched the movie the minute I saw the trailer on TV, somewhere.I got excited about when it will be released in Indonesia and got disappointed that I don't think it did or will be released.Suddenly, my friends were like, "I

This kind of thinking was the kind that just came to your mind without you even realizing it)Instead of blabbering about how much I'm missing while sick, I decided to blabber around

I just understand that line in this pas week.I mean, I don't want to claim anybody to be my BEST friend, because secretly I know I can't always count on to any of my friends. In other words, none of my friends would jump out of a bridge for me and I wouldn't even think asking them to do it for me, in the first place.That is why I call most of my friends my CLOSE friends.I have CLOSEST friends,

2010-03-16T14:23:00.004+07:00

To my friends who have a "special someone" (or on their way of finding one): I know you have found someone who is extra special, and I know you both have a special "bond", or whatever, that you and I will never have. But we have another bond, we're best friends. Or does the best friend bond disappear as soon as you meet somebody else? Maybe it does, maybe I just don't understand that because I

My (Very-Extremely) Late Birthday Present

2010-03-16T12:18:00.009+07:00

Come to think of it, on my 22nd birthday, I didn't get more than three presents.I didn't even get anything from my parents or sister.I got a cake from my dad's friend and family (thanks Lia and Ping-Ping!) and a Kalimantanese bag, which I really love (thanks Cella, Cita, Frisda, Pras, and Tere!)So, when I got a birthday present from Sara on Friday, I was really happy!It was a my very own

Terinspirasi dari artikel di Kompas akhir minggu lalu, kalau tidak salah Kompas Minggu, 7 Maret 2010, tentang hubungan antara Orang Cina di Kampung Melayu.Aku juga udah lamaaaa banget pengen nulis tentang ini, tapi agak takut dibilang menyinggung SARA, jadi selalu ditunda-tunda.Setelah nonton film MILK, tentang kaum minoritas homoseksual, aku jadi pengen nulis lagi soal Orang Cina.Kalau boleh

Parents' Thoughts: Dating

2010-03-07T21:14:00.008+07:00

I am not yet bored telling the stories about what my dad told me towards dating.It was one night before my friend's wedding and I went out with my mom and dad for a dinner.On the dinner table, I told them that one of my classmate is gonna marry the following day.To my surprise, my mom said,"Wow. More and more of your friends are getting married, and here you are, still single."I was surprised but

Yeah!again and again I went back and forth to the cinema, for two days in a row!I was loving it!So the first day was a very random day.It was Tuesday and I was in a very bad mood.I wasn't sure why but I was just randomly asking Samuel and Tomo for lunch. When we were eating (very unworthy lunch at Rice Bowl, by the way, it was expensive, small portion, and not good), Tomo was like, "Hey, let's

Tanpa terasa sudah mau pemilihan Presiden KM lagi di ITB tercinta. YUP! bener-bener TIDAK TERASA. soalnya kepemimpinan Presiden KM yang kemarin menurut aku bener-bener tidak terasa. mengecewakan, gampangnya. Jauh sebelum Pemilu Raya KM ITB mulai, aku dan beberapa teman sudah membicarakan beberapa teman seangkatan yang mungkin akan maju jadi calon Presiden KM. Benar saja, salah seorang dari calon

A Blushing Moment

2010-03-01T11:29:00.002+07:00

So this morning I left for university not expecting anything. In fact, I was extremely lazy because today's Monday and I was struggling from long weekend hangover. I came to my 7 am class and to be honest, I was only absorbing about 50% of the lecture that my Professor told in class. When he said the class was over at 8.20 am because he was preparing for a seminar of some sorts, I was really

Jadi semester lalu aku ngambil mata kuliah yang bernama Apresiasi Sastra. Banyak teman yang melihat aku dengan tatapan tidak percaya. "Ngapain sih lo ngambil kelas begituan?"Banyak juga teman yang mencibir dan menganggap bahwa aku cuma mengambil mata kuliah itu semata-mata hanya untuk mengejar nilai. Jawaban aku biasanya, "enggak kok. Aku emang suka."Iya. Aku memang suka karya-karya sastra.

Samuel ym-ed me on Wednesday. He said something about a cinema's promotion that we could get to watch maximum of three movies for only Rp 17.000 (around US$2) in Blitz Megaplex with Mastercard promotion. The next thing I knew, Samuel, Gisha, and I were driving to Blitz to take advantage of this offer.One of the movies that we watched was Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightening Thief.I had

Things My Dad Wants Me To Know (Part 2)

2010-02-08T18:48:00.003+07:00

I always remember one advice that my dad gave me back when I was a little girl. I was in the six grade when he first said this very advice. I was going to graduate from elementary school and was ready moving to a much bigger city, Bandung, from a small little village, Pomalaa. His advice was stated in something like this, "When you're gonna be in a city as big as Bandung, I don't want you to
