‡ 31/12/10 ‡


Well, it's already December 31st, 2010.
It's totally the last day of 2010.

Seperti tahun lalu dan 2 tahun lalu,
gw mau mereview mengenai tahun 2010 gw ini.
Apa saja yang uda terjadi selama 12 bulan ini.


Januari,
tahun 2010 datang dan banyak hal yang terjadi.
Di awal bulan ini, angkatan 2008 di HIMSISFO menyadari bahwa dimulai dari diri sendiri untuk membuat semua lebih baik.
Satu demi satu hal kami lewati. :)
Most memorable moment: TePoCi Gathering in Carola's House


Februari,
Pergantian semester setelah UAS.
Saatnya masuk ke kelas masing-masing sesuai peminatan.
Gw mengambil peminatan ERP dan masuk di 04PSM.
Bulan yang sangat, sangat, sangat merumitkan. Haha.
Most memorable moment: "Gee" exercises in 225, 39z


Maret,
Kerumitan hidup gw mulai bertambah.
Tidak hanya kuliah, tetapi juga HIMSISFO dan masalah hati ini. *lebay*
Mungkin ini salah satu bulan di mana gw sangat melankolis de, haha.
Most memorable moment: "Gee" dance in Final Show Your Talent


April,
Persiapan HC semakin mendekat, semakin sibuk.
Gw ingat saat itu gw sedang pusing gara2 anapersil gw yang ga gw mengerti. Ah~ Haha.
Di sini juga gw belajar bahwa ada saatnya melepaskan sesuatu untuk menjadi lebih bahagia. :)
Most memorable moment: The day I let go.


Mei,
HIMSISFO COMPETITION 2010 dilaksanakan,
ulang tahun ke-6 HIMSISFO dirayakan,
seleksi Ketua HIMSISFO pun diselenggarakan.
Usia gw pun bertambah menjadi 19 tahun.
It's totally most memorable month, for everything happened. :)
Most memorable moment: Surprise cake for me & Monica at Limelight


Juni,
Pemilu HIMSISFO dan Ketua HIMSISFO yang baru terpilih.
Regenerasi dilakukan dan gw dipercaya sebagai Sekretaris HIMSISFO periode 2010/2011.
Persiapan menuju UAS juga dimulai. Haha.
Most memorable moment: Regenerasi HIMSISFO


Juli,
liburan pergantian semester dimulai,
tetapi persiapan untuk event pertama di generasi baru akhirnya dimulai.
Bunga Rampai & EXPO dipersiapkan. :D
Most memorable moment: Event Kebersamaan at Ancol


Agustus,
Bunga Rampai & EXPO terus berlanjut minggu demi minggu.
AKSI pun memulai persiapannya sebaik mungkin, begitu juga event-event lain.
Inilah masa di mana banyak pikiran dan asumsi yang terus bermunculan.
Most memorable moment: EXPO gelombang 3.


September,
AKSI 2010 akhirnya diselenggarakan! Haha.
Semester 5 pun dimulai dengan Minor sebagai topik utama angkatan gw di SI. Haha.
Banyak banget hal menyenangkan sekaligus mengejutkan terjadi di bulan ini.
Most memorable moment: Shandy's surprise moment at AKSI 2010.


Oktober,
Gw menjadi juri di Untar untuk NTDC 2010 untuk pertama kalinya,
thanks to Chris. Haha.
LDKK 2010 dilaksanakan.
Inilah bulan di mana banyak tantangan yang harus gw lewati,
bukan secara fisik tetapi secara mental.
Tapi semua itu gw lewati perlahan-lahan. :)
Most memorable moment: First day of NTDC 2010.


November,
tahun lalu bulan November menjadi most memorable month,
tapi tahun ini gw rasa bulan November cukup biasa bwt gw. Haha.
Di bulan ini, sekali lagi seperti bulan April,
gw merasa melepaskan sesuatu untuk menjadi lebih bahagia itu sulit tetapi harus dilakukan.
Most memorable moment: The day I bought this laptop. :D


December,
last month of 2010.
yang paling jelas sih persiapan bwt minor yang makin deket,
acara HIMSISFO yang beruntun dan persiapan tanpa henti.
Banyak hal yang gw lewatkan dengan berpikir sih;
walau ga terlalu dalam-dalam amad. Haha.
Most memorable moment: *hopefully* today. :)


It will be a memorable year for sure.


Goodbye 2010.
Welcome 2011.



+Lyrics of the day+
Because these things will change, can you feel it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down
It's a revolution, the time will come for us to finally win

We'll sing hallelujah!
We'll sing hallelujah! Oh

Tonight we standed on our knees
To fight for what we worked for all these years
And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives
Will we stand up champions tonight?

It was the night things changed, can you see it now?
These walls that they put up to hold us back fell down
It's a revolution, throw your hands up, 'cause we never gave in

We'll sing hallelujah!
We sang hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
(Change by Taylor Swift)



Remember about four posts in November about 5 Best Things in Life?

‡ Part I: 5 Best Things in Life ‡
‡ Part II: 5 Best Things in Life ‡
‡ Part III: 5 Best Things in Life ‡
‡ Part IV: 5 Best Things in Life ‡


It's the last part.
It's the last day of 2010 as well. :)


LIFE


Yeah, life is totally the best thing in my life.
God let me live until this moment,
feel every little thing since I was a baby.


I feel what is a family,
live in it and have siblings.
Oh, my family is not the perfect family,
but I guess it's my best family.
They are irreplaceable. :D


I live in a wonderful era;
where everything is unpredictable,
where I, myself, need to learn a lot to fit in this world.

Oh, life is easy for me now;
reality isn't easy.
That's why I went to school and now studying in Binus.


For life had let me feel what is love,
to tell me what is sorrow,
to grant me happiness,
and let me know what is gratitude.

That's why I know what is books,
what is music,
what is friendship,
to be a part of HIMSISFO,
and everything.

For the beautiful blue sky,
for the wonderful sea,
for the amazing view for every place I see,
for the rain and rainbow,
for everything.


God always give me what I need,
not what I want.

And I must learn to live on like that;
I'm happy the way I am.


I'm already 19 years old;
I will be 20 in 5 months.
I will be graduated as well from Binus.
I still have a lot in mind.

But that's why I need to grow up,
to be more mature,
to realize that life is so wonderful.


Thanks God for letting me live this life.
I will live on,
with all my heart. :)

‡ An Important Question ‡


During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a pop quiz.

I was a conscientious student and had breezed through the questions, until I read the last one:
"What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?"

Surely, this was some kind of joke.

I had seen the cleaning woman several times.
She was tall, dark-haired and in her 50s, but how would I know her name?

I handed in my paper, leaving the last question blank.

Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count toward our quiz grade.

"Absolutely," said the professor.
"In your careers, you will meet many people.
All are significant.
They deserve your attention and care, even if all you do is smile and say 'hello'."

I've never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy.

__________

Dikutip dari Inspirational Words of Wisdom,
cerita hari ini singkat. :)

Gw juga ga comment banyak,
tapi di saat-saat menjelang tahun 2010 pergi dan 2011 datang,
cerita ini mengajarkan kita bahwa setiap orang dalam kehidupan kita itu penting.

Mungkin bagi kita, mereka hanya orang-orang yang sekadar lewat di keseharian kita,
tapi pikirkan apakah mereka sudah melakukan sesuatu untuk kita?
Jika suatu hari dia akan menjadi peran penting dalam kehidupan kita,
dan kita justru tidak memperdulikannya sama sekali?


Life is unexpected,
but try to live the best expectations. :)

Bersama dengan cerita ini, ada quote juga yang dilampirkan, :D

"A little consideration, a little thought for others, makes all the difference."

I was lost until you came
Precious little angel
Won’t you spread your light on me
I was locked up in the darkness
Now you’ve come to set me free
I was covered up with sadness
I was drowned in my own tears
I’ve been cynical and twisted
I’ve been bitter all these years

‡ Dec 29th, 2010 ‡


Tanggal menunjukkan 29 Desember 2010.

Hitungan jari lagi menuju 2011.

Anyhow, tanggal 31 nanti, jikalau tak ada halangan,
gw akan menghabiskan malam tahun baru bersama beberapa HIMSISFO-ers.
Berkat ajakan si Sandy yang lebih dikenal dengan panggilan Cidok,
gw akan BBQan ama mereka deket rumahnya. :D

Hope it will be well enough. :)


Hari ini ga banyak sih;
cuman lagi-lagi gw diingatkan betapa banyak tugas gw yang masih belum selesai,
lebih tepatnya sekarang dah mulai numpuk,
dan masih tetap ga gw kerjakan.
Hitungan jari juga dah mulai kuliah ini. :(

Masa-masa gw di semester 5 ini juga bakalan selesai;
Oh minoria, semoga kau jadi kenangan indah di semester 5 ini lah~ Ngeh.


Saat ini yang lagi jadi Trending Topic di Twitter adalah Indonesia.
yep, Indonesia dan Sepak bola.
Gw ga terlalu mendalami dunia Sepak bola sih tapi yang pasti akan segera berlangsung *atau lagi berlangsung* Final Indonesia lawan Malaysia.

Wish Indonesia the luck. :D

‡ I Wish You Enough ‡


Recently I overheard a Father and daughter in their last moments together at the airport.
They had announced the departure.
Standing near the security gate, they hugged and the Father said,
'I love you, and I wish you enough.'

The daughter replied,
'Dad, our life together has been more than enough.
Your love is all I ever needed.
I wish you enough, too, Dad.'
They kissed and the daughter left.

The Father walked over to the window where I was seated.
Standing there I could see he wanted and needed to cry.
I tried not to intrude on his privacy, but he welcomed me in by asking,
"Did you ever say good-bye to someone knowing it would be forever?"

"Yes, I have," I replied.
"Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?"

"I am old, and she lives so far away.
I have challenges ahead and the reality is - the next trip back will be for my funeral," he said.

"When you were saying good-bye, I heard you say, 'I wish you enough.'
May I ask what that means?"

He began to smile.
"That's a wish that has been handed down from other generations.
My parents used to say it to everyone."

He paused a moment and looked up as if trying to remember it in detail,
and he smiled even more.
"When we said, 'I wish you enough', we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with just enough good things to sustain them."
Then turning toward me, he shared the following as if he were reciting it from memory.

"I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright no matter how gray the day may appear.
I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun even more.
I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive and everlasting.
I wish you enough pain so that even the smallest of joys in life may appear bigger.
I wish you enough gain to satisfy your wanting.
I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.
I wish you enough hellos to get you through the final good- bye."


They say it takes a minute to find a special person,
an hour to appreciate them,
a day to love them;
but then an entire life to forget them.

Remember to tell your family and friends that you wish them enough!
To all of you reading this, I wish you enough.

hari ini gw ga komentar banyak,
semua sudah tertuang di bacaan di atas. :)

Thanks God for my life,
for everything I have,
for every second that I will live on. :)

+Lyrics of the day+
Time goes by so fast, and days they seem to dance
Into the distance till they're gone
If I had a map, to lead you down life's path
I'd give it to you, But I don't
So go on

You can never know which way your world will turn
How the stars are gonna fall
Salty tears they burn
There are lessons you will learn
But you'll be stronger for it all
Oh, yes you will

Cry hard, Laugh Loud
Be humble, Stand Proud
And don't be afraid of your fears
Let love break your heart
Just be who you are
All of this
All that there is
I wish for you

‡ What-A-Day ‡


Hari ini postingan gw simpel ajah;

gw diingatkan kalau jatah gw liburan uda kurang dari satu minggu.
Bakalan buat jadwal seharian penuh bwt Minor,
seharian lagi bwt HIMSISFO,
dan seharian lagi bwt leha2.

Tanggal satu ke atas gw dah siap-siap mesti kembali ke kehidupan normal,
apalagi gw mesti ngumpulin softcover minor tanggal 8 nanti.
Iya, gw dah siap2 sibuk beneran nanti.


Kerjaan gw selama ini cuman nonton, nonton, nonton, dan nonton.
ga pernah nikmatin kamar sih, jadi begini nasibnya, huaha.

Tadi sih gw ke CL dan sempet mau pingsan rasanya di Matahari;
AC nya mati dan bayangkan orang-orang berkumpul bersama.
Panas, sesak, sumpek,
tapi alhasil gw berhasil punya rok hitam bwt sidang minor dah. LOL.


Judul postingan gw hari ini disebabkan oleh bokap gw tercinta yang mendadak memberikan gw pertanyaan,
bagaimana menghitung volume kubus?

Oke, itu pertanyaan yang sangat mudah gw jawab.


Pertanyaan berikutnya, seandainya bentuknya mau diubah di permukaannya,
dari persegi jadi trapesium, apa bisa?

Oke, gw jawab dengan santai, ya bisalah.


Pertanyaan berikutnya yang mematikan gw,
tapi volumenya kan harus tetap sama dengan volume kubus yang sebelumnya.
Jadi panjang ama miringnya berapa ya buat dihitung?


Gw ampe manggil si Dewi di Y!M dan ngasih gambaran ga jelas hasil PAINT,
hitung kiri hitung kanan,
sempet ribut bentar karena hitungan yang gw lupakan semua,
nanya di plurk dll dst.

Alhasil sekitar sejam lalu gw nyatakan,
ga tau de gelap dan bokap gw jadi males nanya lagi. *blush*

Setelahnya, gw gambar dengan pelan2 dan gw temukan jawabannya.
*semoga sih kaga salah lagi*
Tapi, eh, tapi, bokap gw malah uda pergi ke tempat temennya.
Ya sudahlah,
gw melewatkan 6 jam dengan hitungan matematika yang jarang gw lakukan,
*sambil tetep nonton anime di laptop*


Penasaran?
Gw sertakan gambarnya di sini ya.
Silahkan dikerjakan,
kalau kalian iseng dan suka matematika.

Jawaban bisa disertakan di Shoutbox atau comment postingan ini~ :p

Ooh, if there's one thing I hang onto
That gets me through the night
I ain't gonna do what I don't want to
I'm gonna live my life

Standing on the ledge, and show the wind how to fly
When the world gets in my face
I say, have a nice day
Have a nice day, have a nice day

‡ Charles Schulz Philosophy ‡


The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the "Peanuts" comic strip.
You don't have to actually answer the questions.
Just read the e-mail straight through...
and you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winner for best actor and actress.
6. Name the last decade's worth of World Series winners.

How did you do?


The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.
These are no second-rate achievers.
They are the best in their fields.

But the applause dies.
Awards tarnish.
Achievements are forgotten.
Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.


Here's another quiz.
See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school.
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5. Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?


The lesson:
The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money, or the most awards.

They are the ones that care.


"Don't worry about the world coming to an end today.
It's already tomorrow in Australia."
(Charles Schulz)

Gw sering dapat bacaan ini di e-mail, baca di web, dan sejenisnya.
Poinnya adalah bacaan ini memang ga perlu jawaban yang tertulis,
bacaan ini membuat kita merenung.


Bukan berarti kita tidak perlu tahu apa yang terjadi di dunia.
Dunia penuh dengan pengetahuan dan hal-hal tak terbatas.
Kita hidup di tengah-tengahnya.

Ingatlah bagaimana menilai yang terbaik bukan dilihat dari kekayaan, nilai, maupun penghargaan.
Menilai itu relatif;
semua punya penilaian sendiri.


Dunia adalah apa yang ada di sekitar kita.
Bagaimana kita menikmati dunia,
semua tergantung pada kita. :)

‡ Merry Christmas 2010 ‡


I was walking around in a store.
I saw a cashier hand this little boy his money back saying,
"I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll."

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him,
"Granny, are you sure I don't have enough money?"

The old lady replied,
"You know that you don't have enough money to buy this doll, my dear."

Then she asked him to stay there for 5 minutes while she went to look around.
She left quickly.
The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.

Finally, I walked toward him and I asked him who he wished to give this doll to.

"It's the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for this Christmas.
She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her."

I replied to him that may be Santa Claus will bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
But he replied to me sadly,
"No, Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now.
I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there."

His eyes were so sad while saying this,
"My sister has gone to be with God.
Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too,
so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."

My heart nearly stopped.
The little boy looked up at me and said,
"I told daddy to tell mommy not to go yet.
I need her to wait until I come back from the mall."

Then he showed me a very nice photo of him where he was laughing.
He then told me,
"I want mommy to take my picture with her so she won't forget me."
I love my mommy and I wish she doesn't have to leave me,
but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister."

Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy,
"What if we checked again, just in case you do have enough money?"

"OK," he said, "I hope that I have enough."

I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it.
There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.

The little boy said,
"Thank you God for giving me enough money!"

Then he looked at me and added,
"I asked yesterday before I slept for God to make sure I have enough money to buy this doll so that mommy can give it to my sister.
He heard me!
I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy,
but I didn't dare to ask God for too much.
But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose.
My mommy loves white roses."

A few minutes later, the old lady came again and I left with my basket.

I finished my shopping in a totally different state from when I started.
I couldn't get the little boy out of my mind.

Then I remembered a local newspaper article 2 days ago,
which mentioned of a drunk man in a truck, who hit a car,
where there was one young lady and a little girl.

The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state.
The family had to decide whether to pull the plug on the life-assisting machine,
because the young lady would not be able to recover from the coma.

Was this the family of the little boy?

Two days after this encounter with the little boy,
I read in the newspaper that the young lady had passed away.

I couldn't stop myself as I bought a bunch of white roses and I went to the funeral home,
where the body of the young woman was exposed for people to see and make last wishes before burial.

She was there, in her coffin, holding a beautiful white rose in her hand with the photo of the little boy and the doll placed over her chest.

I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed forever.
The love that this little boy had for his mother and his sister is still, to this day, hard to imagine.
And in a fraction of a second, a drunk driver had taken all this away from him.

Dikutip dari Thoughts About God.
Lewat cerita ini, gw mau mengucapkan:


Merry Christmas!
Joyeux Noel.
Wish all of us have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

God Bless.
:)


Thanks God for this year Christmas as well.
Happy Birthday to Jesus Christ.
:)


Kisah ini benar-benar bikin gw pengen menangis;
gw bahkan ga tau apa ini kisah nyata atau bukan,
tapi gw sangat tersentuh membacanya...

God always there for us, whether we realize it or not. He gives us everything we need. :)


Mungkin Natal kali ini pun gw flat banget x yah;

nothing special.
Tapi gw ingat sebuah kalimat,
bahwa sesuatu yang spesial bukan ditunggu untuk datang,
tetapi kita ciptakan menjadi spesial. :)

Hari ini mencoba menebarkan kebaikan hati dan kedamaian.
Mencoba memulai menjadi lebih sabar dan ramah lagi, :D

‡ Christmas Eve 2010 ‡


Kalender sudah menunjukkan tanggal 24 Desember 2010.
It's Christmas Eve, people.

Happy Christmas Eve. :)


Sebelumnya mohon maaf dulu kemarin gw ga sempet posting;
gw pastikan akan gw tebus dalam waktu dekat.
Gw pastikan postingan di bulan ini adalah postingan terlengkap dibanding bulan-bulan lain. :D


Gw sedang berpikir bahwa gw harus menikmati waktu gw di rumah sebaik mungkin;
mengingat begitu tahun baru datang berarti kesibukan baru pun menanti.
Lagipula *ehem* ini akan jadi tahun terakhir kepengurusan gw di HIMSISFO.
Sudah pasti gw ingin melewatkannya sebaik mungkin tanpa penyesalan. :)


Akhir-akhir ini gw suka dengerin lagu-lagu yang slow atau yang bisa ngingetin gw ama banyak hal;
kepikiran pengen bikin slide show dengan kumpulan foto-foto,
pasti akan sangat terkenang de klo nontonnya, haha.

Tapi gw harus selesain tugas gw yang lain dulu sih;
seperti ngelengkapin data minor dan ini itu lainnya. :D


Seminggu sebelum tahun 2010 berakhir,
makin banyak saja keinginan gw,
tapi makin sedikit juga keluhan gw.
Belajar untuk berpikir bahwa yang kita inginkan belum tentu yang kita butuhkan. :)

‡ Due Date ‡



Peter Highman sangat menantikan masa-masa mendampingi istrinya yang akan segera melahirkan bayi pertama mereka.
Ia harus terbang ke Los Angeles sesegera mungkin.

Kesialan pertama yang ia alami adalah tasnya tertukar dengan orang asing yang sok akrab dengannya.
Lebih sialnya lagi, mereka ternyata satu pesawat dan karena sedikit keributan kecil,
keduanya dikeluarkan dari pesawat dan dilarang naik pesawat lagi.

Kehabisan ide karena dompet beserta tasnya yang tertinggal di pesawat,
Peter yang kalem hanya disisakan dengan Blackberry untuk menuju ke Los Angeles.
Kembali dipertemukan dengan orang aneh yang ternyata bernama Ethan Tremblay,
akhirnya ia terpaksa menjadi teman seperjalanan Ethan untuk menuju Los Angeles.

Selama perjalanan, satu demi satu keanehan Ethan menyebabkan masalah demi masalah berdatangan.
Peter harus menahan emosinya demi bertemu dengan istrinya.

Baru saja nonton film satu ini di Blitzmegaplex Central Park dengan teman sepaket gw, Brenda dan Shandy.
Filmnya uda sering direkomendasiin ama temen2 gw sih,
cuman kebetulan baru kesampean hari ini.

Awalnya sih gw penasaran karena tokoh utamanya diperankan Robert Downey Jr..
Posternya yang unik juga bikin gw tambah penasaran.
Dikarenakan faktor gw pencinta film fantasy,
gw beralih ke Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows dan The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of The Dawn Treader terlebih dahulu.


Dengan durasi yang boleh dibilang cukup lama untuk sebuah film komedi,
Due Date bisa bikin gw yang ngantuk karena bangun pagi tetap ketawa dengan unsur humor yang menarik.
Beberapa scene dibuat unik dan bikin gw tertawa sendiri.

Alhasil nonton film ini adalah gw salut banget ama si tokoh utama yang sangat kalem dan sabar,
walaupun kalau udah marah sih meledak-ledaknya ga karuan.
Entah kenapa, pengen de bisa punya pacar keq gitu. *sindrom ga jelas akhir tahun*. :p


Recommended koq untuk menghibur sekaligus belajar banyak hal.
Film ini udah cukup lama diangkat di bioskop;
jadi lebih baik buruan nonton de~ :D


+Lyrics of the day+
Have I ever thanked you for everything you've done?
Now all that I can say is, 'I love you Mom.'

And it's never too late to say, 'I love you Mom.'

Kalender sudah menunjukkan tanggal 22 Desember 2010.

Hari ini adalah hari yang memberikan beberapa makna menjelang tahun 2010 pergi bwt gw.
Beberapa hal itu cuman detil kecil tapi berarti sih bwt gw;
bakalan gw ceritain sih sedikit di sini. :D


Tadi pagi gw ke binus dan sempet makan Ciz n Chic dengan Brenda, Wien, dan Dewi.
Lagi2 minus si Monica, odong sih dia baru mandi jam segitu. :p *peace*
Lalu siangnya gw ke Kampus Anggrek untuk rapat sejenak sebelum akhirnya mendapat sebuah ide untuk menghabiskan sore dengan bioskop.


Gw melaju ke Blitzmegaplex Central Park dengan target film Due Date (laporan bisa dibaca di postingan setelah ini) bersama Shandy dan Brenda.
Ironisnya kebetulan, gw baru sadar selama dua setengah tahun ini,
gw baru pertama kali pergi bertiga doang dengan mereka.
Satu paket yang aneh ya? LOL.

Entah kenapa gw merasa seneng banget bisa pergi ama mereka;
hari ini Brenda udah kembali ke rumahnya di Tangerang,
besok Shandy udah pergi ke Puncak dengan keluarganya.
So, well, I really treasure the moment. :)


Setelah dari Central Park dan Shandy kembali ke Kampus untuk penutupan HIFEST,
gw dan Brenda migrasi ke Taman Anggrek untuk ketemu ortunya Brenda.
Gw sendiri singgah ke J.Co untuk beli something bwt nyokap gw.

Kenapa begitu?


22 Desember dirayakan sebagai Hari Ibu di Indonesia.
Gw pengen ngasih sesuatu, mungkin ga seberapa, bwt nyokap gw,
yang sudah senantiasa ngantarin gw sejak kecil hingga sekarang.

Seorang ibu yang selalu menjadi teman gw saat belanja.
Seorang ibu yang selalu mengabulkan keinginan gw selama dia bisa.
Seorang ibu yang tak tergantikan.

I love you, Mom.
Thanks for everything.
:)

‡ Gramedia GI 2nd Anniversary ‡


Sebenarnya sih tanggal hari ini biasa ajah,
tapi di kalender akademik Binus,
hari ini adalah hari terakhir kuliah di tahun 2010.

Binus memasuki liburan akhir tahun hingga tanggal 3 Januari 2010.
Kebanyakan teman-teman gw kembali ke lingkungan masing-masing,
beberapa pergi liburan dengan keluarga,
dan gw dipastikan serta dijanjikan mengendap dengan laptop tercinta gw ini selama liburan.


Hari ini gw ga nulis panjang deh;
cuman cerita beberapa detil kecil di saat 4 hari menjelang Natal ini. haha.


Tadi pagi gw menuju Binus seperti biasanya padahal gw jelas2 uda ga kuliah sejak kemarin.
Bersama kelompok minor gw,
akhirnya gw menuju ke Tangerang untuk mengurusi minor.
Intinya sih ini dan itu, itu dan ini,
ya begitu deh.

Mempersiapkan bwt sidang bener2 harus detil mampus nih;
detil ga penting lainnya adalah gw belom punya rok hitam sih,
tapi entaran ajah de... :p


Setelahnya gw kembali ke Binus sebelum akhirnya ke Kampus Anggrek untuk rapat sejenak;
mengurus beberapa detil sebelum akhirnya berkumpul dengan Brenda, Wien, dan Dewi.


Sekitar jam 5an, kami melaju ke Grand Indonesia.
FYI, Gramedia di GI sedang merayakan 2nd Anniversary,
jadi ada diskon 30% hingga 26 Desember 2010.

Buat para pengguna credit card BCA bakalan dapat tambahan diskon 5% dari netto.
Dan kebetulan gw punya;
jadi gw manfaatkan sebaik2nya de. :p


Alhasil gw sukses membeli Here There Be Dragons setelah mutar2 ditemanin si Wien di Gramedia yang luas itu.
Walau ga kesampean beli banyak komik dan dompet ataupun tas,
paling ga satu target ini kesampean sih.


Mengesampingkan semua novel roman karena bukan bidang gw,
novel misteri karena otak gw pengen bersantai sedikit,
dan novel fantasi karena masih banyak novel yang numpuk di rumah gw!!!


Selain Here There Be Dragons, gw juga beli Avalon High karya Meg Cabot.
Kebetulan gw pernah koleksi The Princess Diaries karyanya juga;
jadi bolehlah untuk menyegarkan isi otak sedikit. LOL.



Sekian ajah x ya buat hari ini.
Have a nice holiday people. :D

And I've only made plans to hold your little hand
It's our anniversary (anniversary)
The pleasure's all mine cause we have seen good times
It's our anniversary (anniversary)
Victoria won't be no secret at the end of the day
It's our anniversary (anniversary)
A small cup of tea to you and me
It's our anniversary

12 hari menuju Tahun Baru.


Kurang lebih sih gw dah libur kuliah sampai 4 Januari 2011,

Menikmati waktu bersama HIMSISFO-ers sebelum tahun 2010 berganti;

Here's the song that I loved so much nowadays, :)


+Lyrics of the day+
There’s a place out there for us,
More than just a prayer or anything we ever dreamed of.
So if you feel like giving up cause you don’t fit in down here,
Fear is crashing in, close your eyes and take my hand.

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough
Yes there’s a place for us,
There’s a place for us.

Where the water meets the sky,
Where your heart is free and hope comes back to life,
Where these broken hands are whole again,
We will find what we’ve been waiting for,
We were made for so much more

We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough,
Yes there’s a place for us,
Now there’s a place for us.

So hold on, now hold on,
There’s a place for us
We can be the kings and queens of anything if we believe.
It’s written in the stars that shine above,
A world where you and I belong, where faith and love will keep us strong,
Exactly who we are is just enough,
Exactly who we are is just enough,

There’s a place for us.
(There's A Place For Us by Carrie Underwood)

‡ Ironically... ‡


I could have you back then,
but I chose not to.

Ironically, I feel like I really want you right now,
but I can't have you.


I was the luckiest person ever because of your care,
but I turned suddenly.

Ironically, I miss your care right now,
but I'm not the one anymore.


I thought that you were not the best one for me,
and I kept looking for another.

Ironically, I haven't find one till this moment,
and I keep thinking of you right now.


I liked your smile and laughs,
and I thought they would be mine forever.

Ironically, I am the one who threw it away,
and I want them to come back again.


I loved moments with you,
and I still treasure it till now.

Ironically, those moments will never happen again,
and I regret it so much.


My mind is so corrupted by you.

Is it anything the same with the past?

Is there any chance to become the same again?

Am I a fool?

Is this real?

Feels so sorry...



+Lyrics of the day+
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
(Ironic by Alanis Morissette)


The Chronicles of Narnia:
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader


Kembali hadir setelah The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe dan Prince Caspian,
The Chronicles of Narnia hadir kembali dengan The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.

Menghadirkan Edmund dan Lucy Pevensie lagi dengan tambahan sepupu mereka, Eustace, yang selalu mengolok-olok Edmund dan Lucy atas keberadaan Narnia,
ketiganya menuju Narnia melalui sebuah lukisan yang digantung di Rumah Eustace.

Mereka bertemu dengan Caspian yang muncul di film sebelumnya dan berpetualang bersama di atas Dawn Treader, kapal termegah di Narnia.

Mempertanyakan kembalinya mereka yang selalu memiliki tujuan,
akhirnya Edmund dan Lucy tahu bahwa mereka harus membantu Caspian menemukan Seven Lost Lords of Narnia.

Dalam perjalanan mereka, mereka mengalami banyak godaan yang membuat mereka akan kalah sebelum bisa mengalahkan Iblis yang ada.
Edmund, Lucy, Caspian, dan Eustace bersama dengan awak kapala Dawn Treader harus melalui banyak rintangan sebelum bisa menyelamatkan rakyat Narnia lain yang diambil oleh Iblis ke Dark Island.

__________

Akhirnya gw menonton epik Narnia yang satu ini.
Sayang sih 3Dnya ga ada subtitle *gw rada males*,
tapi gw ga nyesel koq nonton 2Dnya. :D

Walau beberapa bilang biasa ajah bahkan ada yang bilang jelek,
gw merasa The Voyage of The Dawn Treader ini keren banget koq! :D


Selain special effectnya yang jelas tidak perlu diragukan lagi,
gw selalu suka Narnia yang memberikan banyak pelajaran seiring cerita.
Ditambah dengan bumbu humor dan kejutan yang bermunculan,
gw senang bisa menonton Narnia. Hehe.


Ada satu quote yang gw suka banget dari Reepicheep,

"Extraordinary things happen to extraordinary people."

Menurut gw, film menjelang Natal ini bagus koq.
Menarik ditonton bersama keluarga maupun sahabat terkasih. :D


Sebelumnya, minta maaf dulu karena 2 hari kemarin gw ga ngeblog apa2. :(

2 hari lalu karena gw mau ngurusin minor,
kemarin karena gw baru ngurus ini itu setelah nonton mpe jam stgh 10an,
jadi ya beginilah. Huaha.

Hari ini sudah tanggal 19 Desember 2010;
6 hari sebelum Natal,
13 hari menuju Tahun Baru.


Kemarin gw sudah melewati pertemuan 9 yang merupakan uji kelayakan minor gw.
Lolos sih lolos, ga jelas juga sih,
cuman sepertinya sih layak. *AMIN*.
Sekarang hitungannya gw dah liburburbur,
senin selasa itu gw ga ada kuliah. :D

Tapi tentunya hari ini pun gw masih ke kampus untuk Rapat Besar Bakti Sosial,
besok gw masih ke kampus untuk stand,
dan selasa gw masih ke kampus untuk urusan minoria sejenak. :D


Omong punya omong, tanggal 19 ini seorang anggota tim DPI/Koord HIMSISFO ada yang berulang tahun ke-20!!

Happy Birthday, David!

Wish you all the best ever.
Let's work together for HIMSISFO! :)

‡ There Are Times | It's Alright ‡

There are times when I need someone the most,
but the person can't be here for me.

It's alright, I said to myself.
As long as I can be there for that person.


There are times when I miss someone the most,
but the person is already far from me.

It's alright, I said to myself.
As long as that person is happy now.


There are times when I think someone is better than me,
but the person keeps saying that he/she is worse than me.

It's alright, I said to that person.
As long as you do the best, you are great in your own way.


There are times when I think someone is doing something wrong,
but the person thinks that he/she is doing the right thing.

It's alright, I said to that person.
As long as you think about the consequences and have a faith.


There are times when I want to be alone.
There are times when I need to keep silence.
There are times when I hate to smile.
There are times when I hold my tears.

But it's alright, I said again to myself.
I will be alright.
All these times I've gone through worse than now.

I'm not faking a smile.
I'm doing my best.

So do you, right?
:)



+Lyrics of the day+
See the best of how they look
Against the worst of how you are
And again, you won't win
With your standards so high
And your spirits so low
At least remember ...
This is you on a drab day, you in a drab dress

Just do your best and don't ...
Don't worry, oh
The way you watch yourself is oh, so unfair
(Do Your Best and Don't Worry by Morrissey)

‡ Letting Go ‡


There was once a lonely girl who longed desperately for love.

One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving song birds.
She took them home and put them in a small glided cage.
She nurtured them with love and the birds grew strong.

Every morning they greeted her with a marvelous song.
The girl felt great love for the birds.
She wanted their singing to last forever.

One day the girl left the door to the cage open.
The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.
The girl watched anxiously as he circled high above her.
She was so frightened that he would fly away and she would never see him again that as he flew close, she grasped at him wildly.
She caught him in her fist.
She clutched him tightly within her hand.
Her heart gladdened at her success in capturing him.

Suddenly she felt the bird go limp.
She opened her hand stared in horror at the dead bird.
Her desperate clutching love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird teetering on the edge of the cage.
She could feel his great need for freedom.
His need to soar into the clear, blue sky.

She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air.
The bird circled once, twice, three times.

The girl watched delighted at the bird's enjoyment.
Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss.
She wanted the bird to be happy.

Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.
It sang the sweetest melody, she had ever heard.

The fastest way to lose love is to hold on too tight.
The best way to keep love is to give it -- WINGS!

Dikutip dari Afterhours Inspirational Stories,
sudah lama sejak terakhir gw ngasih bacaan ya, hehe.

Tema hari ini masih tentang cinta;
iya, tema dari kemarin masih tetap nempel di otak.
Gw ga lagi jatuh cinta, itu yang pasti.
Cuman jiwa melankolis gw memang lagi keluar ajah sekarang ini, haha.


Inti ceritanya sih simple;
terkadang saat kita mencintai seseorang, ada pikiran untuk terus menjaganya agar tidak hilang,
melindunginya agar tidak terluka.
Cinta bukanlah sesuatu yang bisa disebut hak kepemilikannya;
cinta itu bebas.

Saat mencintai seseorang, berikan dia kebebasan untuk dirinya.
Menyayangi dan melindungi cinta dengan cara kita sendiri demi kebahagiaannya.


Gw pernah ngobrol dengan beberapa temen gw;
saat kita punya pasangan dan dia ga setuju dengan ini itu dari kita,
mau kita mengikuti keinginannya,
itu berarti yang dirasakan mungkin bukan cinta sejati.

Gw ga tau makna cinta sejati;
gw juga belum merasakan apa itu cinta sejati.
Tapi gw tau cinta itu tidak mengikat.

Cinta juga tidak sempurna;
tugas kita lah menjaga cinta itu sebaik mungkin. :)

"If you love something, set it free;
if it comes backs it's yours.
If it doesn't, it never was."
(Richard Bach)



+Lyrics of the day+
Let the love go on, on and on
It's so cold on there
Take my hand
And you'll be strong, on and on
With our love we can lay down the world
Let's lay down the world
(Let The Love Go On by Me & My)
