skin deep

Di TV bolak-balik nyiarin kasus Century. Gue yang tahun lalu mungkin ngikutin bener-bener beritanya. Tapi sekarang males. Duh, kenapa ya gue bukannya makin cerdas malah makin ignorant. Kalau kata twitter-nya Indra Herlambang: me being ignorant doesn't mean I don't love my country, I'm just protecting myself from brain damage. *yeah, sekarang gue meng-quote presenter !nsert* Kalo gue..., capek aja. *grin* Kalau nonton, gue pasti emosi. Mending gue ngurusin yang lain dan membiarkan pihak dengan otoritas berkreasi.

Jadi daripada memikirkan hal-hal yang membuat perasaan gue (halah) nggak enak, gue berfokus pada hal-hal yang membuat gue tertawa dan senang. Seperti waktu SMA. Kalau gue lagi males ke sekolah, gue akan mengingat-ingat ada hal apa nanti di sekolah yang membuat gue seneng. Mendapat kesempatan untuk pake sepatu baru, misalnya. Sekarang untuk membelokkan pikiran dari Century (yang lagi ditonton bokap di bawah), gue menonton... dum-dum-dum... Beauty and The Geek.

I'm so having mind-degradation. I was never into reality show before. Not even Running In Heels, Dhim. Gue rasa interaksi antara attractive bitches dan Star Trek dorks selalu menyenangkan untuk ditonton. Kayak Seth dan Summer di The O.C atau Dan dan Serena di Gossip Girl.

Walaupun gue rasa reality show-nya fake deh. But it's still fun to watch. :)

Happy new year!

Selamat tahun baru, semua! Di tahun ini gue bertekad *halah* untuk lebih bersyukur dan positif. Yeah! Hidup Mario Teguh! Dua hal yang masih susah banget gue lakuin. Terus gue juga harus berhenti mau ini dan itu, dan lebih fokus dengan apa yang bisa gue lakuin. Kayaknya banyak pe-er gue tahun ini. Hahaha..

Eniwei, sekarang jam setengah 4 pagi. gue baru beres ngerjain tugas kuliah bagian gue. Tapi kayaknya efek kafein masih ada, belum ngantuk gue..! Terus gue tiba-tiba inget. Pas siang-siang taun baru kemarin di CNN ada liputan tahun baru live from New York. Damn..! Americans are good at partying, aren't they??

Gue jadi jatuh cinta lagi sama lagu New York, New York nya Frank Sinatra.

Pengen ke New York *ngarep* Gue nggak ngerti kok bisa temen-temen gue ke Jepang, Aussie, Inggris.., di saat gue kemarin pulang ke rumah aja tiap hari nyokap gue selalu nanya: 'Kakak, sudah belajar?? Ayo, belajar!!!' Huks.

Yah, intinya, berkaitan dengan positif, tahun baru, dan Frank Sinatra, lagu-lagunya Maliq and d'Essentials yang baru bagus ya.. Ini playlist baru gue mengawali 2010. Ihiyy.

1. Happy - Leona Lewis
2. Haven't Met You Yet - Michael Buble
3. Mata, Hati, Telinga - Maliq and d'Essentials
4. Coba Katakan - Maliq and d'Essentials
5. Even If We Did - Joanna Wang
6. Smile - Uncle Kracker
7. Just The Two of Us - Bill Withers
8. Into You - Adhitya Sofyan
9. Buses and Trains - Bachelor Girl
10. Extraordinary - Mandy Moore

Setelah gue liat-liat nggak ada yang baru jg dari playlist gue ya.. Yah, pokoknya gue seneng dengernya. It's all about new year menurut gue. Tentang nggak menyesali yang udah lalu, menghargai apa yang dimiliki sekarang, dan tersenyum memandang masa depan *ceilah* Gue harus menekan pemakaian istilah-istilah menggelikan kayak gini nih.

My iPod's playing Jamie Cullum's But For Now right now. Selalu sukses meninabobokan gue. Morning World.., I'm going to sleep now.

temporary insanity

I once posted on my blog, that it's not good to forget what you experienced in life. Because that'd mean you run away from your past. But I think now, some things are better best forgotten. Well, not actually forget, perhaps more like let go and move on.

Sometimes, or often, things were not going the way you planned. Certain things were totally not yours to decide. Situation could be so difficult that no matter how hard you tried to convince yourself, you had to admit that it's impossible for you to hang on.

You're making your choices, and it must be what you thought was best at the moment. So once you did, don't look back. Things will either turn out good or bad. And if the second option happen, don't blame yourself, because you didn't have that much power to bring somebody down. They decide whether they want to be sad or happy, not you. So give them space, and take yours. They said it takes two to tango. You'd done your part, and it's enough.

You know at the end of everything, you got no one to blame. Not even yourself. Because you've learned to forgive yourself, you have learned to understand other. But sometimes you still can't take the fact that you cannot have the things you want. And you're upset, because you're just spoiled little girl who always has to get what you desire.

But you put smile on your face and play happy. Simple gesture that said: hey buddy, you didn't affect me that much. Then eventually, you'll forget. Au revoir.

Dear Jerks....

You know what costumers mostly expect from you? Consistency. You know what you should earn and protect from your costumers? Trust. Because that means you appreciate all the hard work they pour into so that they could come to you, expect you to do this little thing for them so that you could make they're lives a little easier.

You could say thousand sweet words. You could spit on somebody else's work. That's okay. As long as you could prove that you could work better than those persons you despised. Because I think you're not a dumb-arrogant-son-of-a-bitch IF you really were that good. But saying lots of things to make yourself look much better then come with shitty work; that, Buddy, made you a lying-bastard. And what's your name again? Karya Agung? Andre? Viki?

I sincerely hope you'll soon find yourself in bankruptcy so that you can no longer fooling around with people who are so naively willing to trust you. Shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me twice.

Yours faithfully.

festive festival

Sebuah festival-festivalan di Bandung...
Jumat, 13 November 2009 @ Auditorium CCF.










Oke, jadi katanya acara ini adalah festival tahunan yang diadakan oleh Classicorp Indonesia yang bertujuan mendorong musisi lokal untuk tampil di depan publik. Tahun ini tema 'Viennese' dipilih untuk memperingati 200 tahun meninggalnya Joseph Haydn. *nyontek dari program*

Sebenernya sih gue juga nggak ngerti, tema Viennese untuk tahun ini? Bukannya memang namanya Viennese Festival? Entahlah...

Hasil jalan-jalan iseng gue dan Iin: mengunjungi Museum Geologi. Barengan sama anak-anak SD dan SMA.

Nggak besar ternyata ya. Only two stories museum dan di lantai duanya ada ruangan gede yang kosong. Sayang banget... Nggak ada sejam udah selesai muter-muterin semua dan foto-foto ge-je. Tapi lumayan sih, bersih, rapi, dan spacious. Dan gratis.

We Love You, Dear Earth..

So... once upon a time, I did some study for my Industrial Waste Management exam. As I read further, I came to this conclusion: the end of the world is approaching, fast.

With a lot of industries going on, people and their convert-into-carbon activities, power plants, drillings... we've done nothing but added more and more glass house gases. And the process isn't reversible, you cannot convert those carbon-dioxide into gas or methane. Carbon dioxide takes approximately 100 years to be out of our atmosphere.

So even if the whole world stop doing their industrial activities and get back to the stone age, we have to wait another 100 years for green house gases to leave our atmosphere. But it's impossible, anyway. I mean, how can people live without decent clothes, good foods, televisions, phones, Google, airplanes...??

All those reuse, reduce, recycle, recovery things are just slowing down the process of ending earth's life. And that only can happen if the whole world get together and feel the same urgency to lengthen earth's life.

Couple decades ago, the biggest energy consumers had been developed countries. Now, with all the environment issues, they begun to research for much cleaner technologies. On the other hands, underdeveloped countries are now taking parts of developed countries to become biggest energy consumers. Through some stages, I believe realization will come again and those underdeveloped countries will find their way to cleaner technologies. But we still have undeveloped countries waiting in line. And who can guarantee that earth will survive until then?

I think the most effective way is to begin searching for another livable planet. Live there for couple of hundred years, destroy the planet with even higher technologies and worse pollutions, then begin to search for another planet... We all can be aliens travel around galaxy by UFO.

It's cool, Freaks.
