be careful of what u wish for…(so sad,but true…)

After reading Livia’s post on Tentang Mertua , I recalled some thought that I’ve been keeping it in my mind (only!) for this long. Mungkin juga karna lagi sibuk-sibuknye mempersiapin hari “H” kali ye…

Hmhmhm, mungkin jaman-jaman kita masih imut dulu, kita keseringan dapet cerita-cerita miring tentang ibu tiri, disebarluaskan oleh perusahaan multinasional Disney, dengan Cinderella nya, trus heboh-heboh kasus Arie Hanggara taon 80-an (aku masih imuttt banget wkt itu hihihhi)…jadilah stereotype ibu tiri itu jahat, tukang siksa, tukang ga kasih makan, de-el-el…well, tapi, waktu mami re-married, kagak pernah sih terlintas kalo my stepfather bakal hajar sono-sini tanpa pandang bulu (kkkk…amit-amit), jadi, propaganda Disney kurang mempan buat dirikuw (ato karna ga dibikin cerita ttg bapak tiri ya…), singkat kata singkat cerita…mamih, papih, adik, n aku idup bahagia ever after…ceilleeee…

Nah…yang aneh, padal tanpa dipropaganda oleh siapa-siapa, cuman keseringan doang ngedengerin curhat para ibu-ibu, dari waktu kecil ampe udah waktunya (bukan maunya lho, tapi, i repeat, waktunya) punya anak gini, kalo mertua mreka bla-bla-bla…n of course lebih banyak negatif daripada positif nya, kayaknya want it or not here we come, jadi terpateri deh kalo mertua (apalagi mertua cewe) itu bisa dipastikan bawel, tukang cela (bukan tukang hajar lho..hehehe),de-el-el,…jadi deh, somehow, deep inside my mind bikin “permintaan” yang sayangnya,…terwujud…he had no parents anymore…

Then, ternyata, jaman udah berubah, n watak para mertua (terutama yang cewe) juga banyak berubah. Contohnya, ya mertua si Livia ini, trus ada lagi mamer (=mama mertua) my bestest friend yang meski idup di seberang lautan, tapi tak lupa kirim-kirim makanan, majalah, baju, tas, aksesori buat my lucky bestest friend ini. Belom lagi kapan ari waktu kita lagi runding ini itu, pokoknye tete-a-tete na pernikahan, dengan pelan he said, “i wish my parents were still alive…”…jadi ikutan sedih juga…

Well, we should ALWAYS see the bright side of every things happen in our life, but I think, we also have to be careful of what we wish for…u never know whether your wish is right for you…^^

I’m dizzy rite now…

Today is my 3rd day on having and digesting non fried food…

Haisshh…dunno this dizziness is the direct effect of the diet (or i prefer to say it…in a more decent word…lifestyle-changing…^^…)or should i blame the weather or hormonne for it…

Question: Why do I must take this lifestyle-changing thingy?

Answer: It’s getting close to the d day and also the fact that next 2 weeks I will be going to Jakarta to pick my wedding gown (panic mode:”ON”)…and another fact which could be categorized as reality bites is that infact I hardly reach my ideal weight… kkkk… haiiyaaahh …pede aja lagi

Then, to make it worsen, my bro borrowed my camera which happened a thousand years a go and have not returned it to me, so that I could not do my hobbies in taking not-that-important-4u-but-yes-it-is-for-me pictures.

Well, well, I’m still dizzy…but, something urge me that I should hang in there…then, this is me, updating my weblog, while still hanging on a dizzy head and hungry stomach…moreover, I gotta get up early, as early as 4.30 a.m to jog…wish me luck, guys…

what i’ve done in my long weekend

Ehm..hmhmm…i think i did not blink for almost a minute (ehm ehm…)after realizing, well, not realizing actually, but watching the real thing that i did not update my weblog till my weekly twitter update were popped out back to back…sorryyy guys…

Lot of things has happened from the last time I updated. Still fresh in my memory was that I picked him at Juanda Airport (thank God for Sriwijaya has a promo direct flight from Surabaya to Manado v.v…still cheap compare to other airlines ^^). Then, we went to Jember to gather with other family preparing the next day’s journey to Pasir Putih, Situbondo. Well, it’s Ceng Beng, it’s a hokkien dialect for Qing Ming (the real meaning is Clear Bright Festival or Tomb Sweeping Day). Since my grandparents (from my mom’s side) were cremated and the ashes has been spread along the Pasir Putih beach, Situbondo, my mom’s siblings went to there together to “visit” them.

tabur bunga

one of the activity at the sea...fyi, that's my hands in white sweater...

This year was the second time we “visited” them. I think this time required bigger sacrifice than the last year. We finally got the boats at 12 o’clock sharp!!!!(welcome to premature aging, considering how vast the area for the sun exposure )…

thank God we all (especially the woman) had this

thank God we all (especially the woman) had this

Actually, anything related to the sun exposure was not really good for my condition that time, I had a dermatologic problem at that time and it was not good to be exposed to a direct sun and also water. But, thank God it is okay rite now.

The time when I was having the “holiday” was a long weekend for Indonesian. It was one day after April 9, 2009 when people nationwide and also the Indonesian who live abroad had the first election (to choose the regional representatif (a.k.a caleg). I did not use my rights that day. Nope, it was not that I was one of the golputers (=abstainer), it’s really an administrative problem. I was not registered!. Sigh…but, the next election (the presidential one) I surely will have my rights…I’ll choose the one who I believe would bring me my dream (cieeehhhh…)…

Well, I hope that day he could get the “picture” of my big family in where I was raised. So that he would understand me more. My bro, a cousin, him, a driver, and me were heading to Malang after that. And I had a wonderful dinner with him at Malibu steak house. Weleh…jadi kangen neh…harharhar…Hmhm, I should not be missing him. The thing is that the date (both date) was settled already. Right thing to do actually is really the carpe diem thing. Seize the moments I have with my family here and there in Jember. Before I move with him…

Sigh…gotta sleep earlier…gotta jog tomorrow…c u soon guys…

Easier said, than done…

As i mentioned in my ABOUT page that i have lots of bestfriends, I have 3 bestfriends who i met when i was still  working in Surabaya around year 2000 to 2003. We unofficially called ourselves as dkny’s (ding, khat,n yuce, sofi). Then, one day, Yuce, Ding, and me went to Tunjungan Plaza, Surabaya (TP 3). After having lunch, 3 of us unintentionally went to the games area in which there was a huge boat namely Columbus (if i’m not mistaken, coz it’s been a while since the last time I went to Tunjungan Plaza 3). The boat was swinging and the passangers, who were mostly teenage girls, were screaming out loud, especially when the boat seemed would crack the mall’s ceiling.

Three of us were waiting in line (for the riding) and I said to Yuce (well, i think i should write in Indonesian, to make it understandable and get the “humourous” taste…^^)…

Khat (K): Halah, gitu ae jerat-jerit, ya memang mesti njerit seh, biarno asik, tapi yo gak usah segitune lah njerit e…(halah, gitu aja ngejerit-jerit, ya emang musti ngejerit sih biar asik, tapi ya ga usah segitunya lah yao—->in case you don’t understand the Suroboyoan hehehe)…

Yuce (Y): Iyo, mosok sampe kayak gitu yo…(iya, masak sampe segitunya—->I made this conversation with Yuce since I knew that she had been on that kind of riding)

Ding (D): (dengan lirikan tajam…)Iyo, pancene carik-carik perhatian kok arek-arek abg itu (= Iya, emang cari perhatian aja anak-anak abg itu…)

Y: Ding, emange kamu pernah tah naek ? (= emang kamu pernah naik?)

D: Gak

K&Y:????!!!??? (we looked at each other’s eyes)

Yup, and when we had our seat up in the Columbus and the boat started to swing, it was our beloved and cutest friend Ding whose screaming was the loudest one. Yuce and I could not hold our laugh and our stomach was sooooooo hurt because of that.

I think there are lots of things happen in our lives and also people around us. The good or the bad ones. Some of the things, especially the bad ones, sometimes come to us with some warnings or at the worst part, there are no warning at all. Most of the time, it is not that we do not know the result from the action we will do or have done. Sometimes it is the X factor that made us do some particular action.

Some of my bestfriends (or people who really care about me, especially my future)have given me some warnings about what I have been chosen lately. And it is not that i do not know the consequences if i choose it. Yes, I clearly know about it. But guys, I have confirmed it all with my Boss. So, don’t you all worry about it. I just have to strengthen myself. Maybe i should take more hours in excersizing. But, thank you all for the warnings.

I remember some years a go, I have been in the place of the “warning-givers”. Believe me!. It’s easier said than done.

That’s why the thing happened on me lately had reminisced me about Ding and the boat. (ehm,…fyi, my friend Ding now is expecting her second son…^^)…

Well, c’est la vie…

1st April 2009

Finally, i jog…

Maybe I’m not a morning person.
Maybe it’s laziness which make me hard to get up in the morning
Maybe it is one of the reason why I’m addicted to coffee (or caffein…for the exact).
But,this time I surely know what it is which make me eager to open up my eyes, wash my face, and getting ready to jog in the morning with my pink converse on.
The day is getting closer…(Let’s discuss bout the day later on…)

It has been my issue since I was in school, that after doing any sports, I will be very very sleepy afterwards.
I was not good in mathematics, so sometimes when in highschool, it became a nightmare whenever I found out in my schedule that mathematics was put right after the physical activity (alias olah raga ^^).
I could not hold my eyes and of course my math teacher’s voice would only be a whispers (hmhmhm…somehow it would be sounded like the elves in Lord of The Ring trilogy, whispering in Sindarin language, hahhaa…).
Same thing happen today that I sleep (bobo-bobo ayam yang nyaris jadi deep sleep hehehe…)on my way to go to my work place (fyi, it only takes around 10mins.from home to my work place).

I first wrote this post was 3days ago and in that period I supposed to jog everyday which I did not do for some reasons (the reasonable ones harharha…),but this time I have promised myself to jog at least 4 times a week. Wish me luck…
