Women and What They’re Looking for

mar — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 06:16:18 +0000

I’m thinking. Hmm.. Lately there were quite some exhibits that support my theory of women and what they’re looking for in life.

I think other than money, they are looking for love. Not guys, but love. Of course love mainly coming from guys, but could also be coming from other sources: parents, friends, dogs, cats, etc.

Exhibit A: Krisdayanti, a famous local singer who cheated her marriage and her husband, for some guy, not more attractive than her husband. She said she loves this man because he was more attentive compared to her husband.

Exhibit B: Cut Tari, a public figure, presenter, actress, who got caught having an affair with a singer guy, definitely not more attractive than her own husband. And when this stupid singer guy told the media that he never had any feelings for her, she was heartbroken. And looking at the affair video, that expression on her face was very familiar. She felt guilty doing it but she felt thirsty for attention and love which she thought she got from that stupid singer guy.

I think it is not invalid to use celebrities as my exhibits because they live pretty much like us, they are humans too as we are.

Love and Hate Relationship

I just attended Pesparawi (Pesta Paduan Suara Gerejawi) last night. It took place in my church at KPS, and there were 14 participating choirs from 14 GKIs. The reason I was there because my mom was a contributing Alto from GKI Rengasdengklok.

Of course, an encounter with GKI Gading Indah’s Choir was inevitable. I was in that choir for 4/5 years, that was a long time ago though.

I recently hesitated even more to go to church, because well, I blame church and God for my recent breakup. I know, I know, that sounds crazy, but hey, crazy is me. I somehow believe that my ex’s devotion to his church’s activities and cell group was too much. Oh well, that’s in the past now.

What’s so strange is that looking at my choir last night, and my church building, I felt like I was home. A very warm feeling. So strange. I remembered all my days and my singing with the choir, and the people and everything which was exactly the opposite of what I thought I felt that I hated church.

Special Trip to Thailand, Aug 4 – 10, 2010

mar — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 04:29:24 +0000

I had the privileges to go to Thailand last week not long after I got home from my USA assignment. I consider myself lucky to be able to go on trips like these.. even though some of them are for work, I could still have a little taste here and there Maybe I should blog all of them one day.

I went to Thailand with my highschool friends. We’ve been planning for this trip since last year. We usually only stop at planning, and never achieving haha. Because we live in different cities, different jobs, hence different activities, making it so hard to just hang out together.

But this time we managed it yeah. I was very excited I could spend almost a week with them, having the heartbreak and all, it was quite hard to just get by ;0)

I planned to take Damri that day on August 4. But I was surprisingly late, lol, so I had to take a cab to the airport. I had a bad feeling it would be a waste anyway since I knew my other friends would be later than I. And I was correct. Well, Mel was already there when I arrived, she seemed to be the most responsible one of the group :p. While my three other friends, Phanie, Amel, and Rindy were extremely late.

We were supposed to take off at 11.20, but even at 11.00 they were not at the airport yet. We, Mel and I ran around asking if there was any chance for all of us to get in the flight, and everybody said no. The man in the check in counter told us to go ahead without them, oh cheese what’s the fun in that? We begged several times and he let us checked them in, without the baggage. So we had 5 boarding passes, we just need the other three to come quick lol. They did finally came, at 11.10! We ran around again, paying their fiskal. And we had to pay someone illegally to get us through the immigration long lines. The immigration officer rejected helping us, so we had to queue with the others. And this guy from the airline, helped us calling the pilot to hold the plane off for a little longer. ‘Wow, this is just like in the movies!’, I thought

And after several glares and curses from other people whose time were wasted by us, we took the airport mini car to get us to our gate, because it was quite far, you see? :p. ‘Wow, another sequel of a movie’, I thought again )

The plane did wait for us, for approximately 8 minutes. That was a crazy, hectic way to start your journey. Lol. Could have never made it without my crazy friends :p Maybe I should thank them instead of getting pissed at them at the airport lol.

Balance, Interrupted

It’s been 20 days since I returned from Chicago, USA. I lived there with other colleagues for 6 months working for Sears and Bally Total Fitness. They put us in a house in a quiet suburb up in Arlington Heights. Now that I’ve come home, I feel a struck of imbalanceness here. It is obviously not as tranquil, I could not find peace here. And also, it’s hard to be healthy in this city – Jakarta. A flexible and convenient gym access is quite hard to get, making an individual more depressed.

Another Point in Life

I just had a break up with my long term boyfriend. Or, fiance to be exact. We had been together for more or less 5 years. Everything ‘looked’ just fine a few months back, but we both realized there was something never really recovered after our first break up. So I ended it, and he quickly agreed. It is funny sometimes how at one time in life you did a thing, and not long after, you did exactly the opposite.

Job

Short log about why I think I can be so addicted to work sometimes, it is because it can make you feel so good. If you feel like you do good at your job, you would just feel good and get some serious confidence boost.

I guess it’s just like drugs.

On My Trip ;}

mar — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 03:10:07 +0000

After digging out my room inside out looking for my passport at the last minute, having to go back and check in my carry-on after I passed the security – and paid 25 dollars for it, I could finally get on my flight to New York.

New York is very wild, it’s colorful, crowded, so different compared to Chicago. Anyway, yeah, it’s been fun so far. I get to meet my two cousins I hadn’t met for a very long time. I’ll be seeing some other fun places in New York in the next few days, and hopefully some shopping too, lol.

O yeah, despite of all the hassle yesterday back at the O’hare airport, it had been great actually. I managed to finish my work before leaving for my vacation – kind of. And my coworker’s early flight got delayed so he was waiting for me at the airport. I got a good company wasting the hours away waiting for my flight.

New York, Here I Come..?

Omg, I’m leaving for New York tomorrow, it’s 1.20 AM now and I still haven’t packed my stuff up yet. I even haven’t ironed my clothes. I’m so disorganized!

Anyway, it was quite hectic at work lately. And once I got home I’m usually too tired to do anything else. Well I still got to hang out with my coworker though. Hmm.. oh well, better start ironing stuff.
