Happiness for Me

Tagged by Lily to do this happy stuffs. I hope you like the ideas as much as I do!
I'm happy whenever:
  • I cry over a very good movie. (It's the one and only moment I can feel good and bad at the same time!) My salutation recently goes to Up, a truly great movie I could not stop wiping my tears watching it.
  • I have ALL DAY playing all the games I want, eating all the food I love, and doing all the things I enjoy at the most comfortable places on earth.
  • There is a chance, once a month or a year, to gather with every ones I love the most in this entire world.
  • I travel. Even it's only within my home country. But my motto is usually: the further, the better. (FYI, I never experience any home sick before. Is that strange or what?)
  • I suddenly found the key words for my article and then instantly turn those into beautiful paragraphs.
  • I make the person who gave birth to me, proud of me.
  • My sacrifice is finally paid off. Graduation, trophies, compliments, awards, "jaket himpunan", and so on...
  • I donate my abandoned possessions. Yes, those can actually be very useful to the others.
  • A heart-to-heart conversation over a cup of tea and a plate of comfort food shared for two in the afternoon always makes me realized how blessed life is.
what are yours?

full house!


everything has its own limit, and Twitter is not an exception on this long weekend! HAHA!
it's the only Monday I love! woke up in the morning and realizing that you don't have to go to the office is just simply the best day ever... rite? rite? LOL :D
spending this long weekend just simply pleasures, catching up with old friend, cousin's wedding, going to the cinema to watch Harry Potter 6, reading a friend's blog, who caught me thinking...
HOW DO U SUPPORT #indonesiaunite?
me? i guess i can help by writing about Indonesian art&culture in ELLE Magazine Indonesia. (of which I already had done in every issue since last year :)) that's why i love this mag!
second, i think by purchasing local products. i found this one cute store @ Mazee FX 8th floor. they have all products from Jakarta, Bogor, Bandung, Jogja, Bali, you name it... you won't have to grab your wallet that deep because everything is cheap without having to sacrifice the quality itself. i bought a present from my mom and dad's anniversary in here too! here's the cutie sponge (inside is the soap, when it's *poof-all-gone* you can change the soap easily) teehee ;)
HOW ABOUT YOU?


there you go, orangey teddy :) cutie, isn't it?
and it's only IDR 25,000!

we are one!


WE ARE NOT AFRAID!

nothing can stop us. not even a stupid bomb, not even a heartless terrorist who clearly out of their mind! Visit Indonesia 2009 is still on, fellows! Menteri Kebudayaan dan Pariwisata sudah menyusun rencana pemulihan pariwisata Indonesia untuk ke depannya. Menteri Kesehatan juga akan menanggung segala biaya kesehatan untuk korban pengeboman JW Marriott-Ritz Carlton kemarin.
(buat temen2 yang lagi kul/kerja di luar negri, yg kemarin bilang MALU jadi orang Indonesia terus mau ngambil warga negara sana dan ga mau balik lagi ke Indonesia, WELL gak usah balik kalo lo MALU jadi orang Indonesia! Indonesia gak butuh orang2 pengecut macam kalian!)

PS: sampai detik ini ditulis, gue sampai ga habis pikir sama apa yang ada di pikiran teroris2 tersebut. bahwa JIHAD BUKANLAH TEROR. Islam tidak pernah mengajarkan kekerasan! Wong Islam itu artinya "selamat" kok. Dan jelaslah yang namanya bunuh diri itu tidak diperkenankan dalam agama, menyia-nyiakan anugerah Tuhan yang paling utama yaitu kehidupan. nah ini pake bom bunuh diri pula. yang kena juga bukan WNA doank kali pak! saudara2mu sesama muslim, sebangsa dan setanah air juga kena dan berdarah2. padahal banyak di antara mereka hanya orang kecil, karyawan hotel, bukan tamu yang berduit, atau hanya sekuriti yang sedang bertugas, hanya tau bahwa sepulang kerja nanti dia bisa membawakan nafkah bagi anak istrinya. hanya itu.

PS2: dan walaupun Anda boleh menukarkan tiket Indonesia-MU dengan Malaysia-MU harusnya Anda maluuuuuuuu ya kalau beneran nuker. gue udah kesel banget dengan berita2 pencolongan budaya (dan waktu kegap, mereka sok bego lagi!) ini lagi pake acara 3000 kursi disediain buat penonton indo di malay! najong alaijong... gue sendiri sebagai jurnalis gaya hidup, gak pernah nulis tentang malaysia sedikit pun di ELLE, walaupun mereka lagi ngadain acara besar kek, apa kek, males tau ga! GAK selama mereka masih matenin budaya kita dengan seenak udel!

last but not least, for all of you Twitterians, please add #indonesiaunite and #wearenotafraid in your every tweet! so that both of those can be the Trending Topics letting the world know that WE ARE NOT AFRAID (we did it and we have to keep up! 3 days in a row, #indonesiaunite made it 3 times to be in the 1ST rank of Trending Topics on Twitter!)

WHAT THE...?

gue bener2 nggak abis pikir sama orang2 yang tega ngebom suatu gedung, bangunan publik, yang di dalamnya bisa berisi ratusan bahkan ribuan orang, hotel internasional pula (yang notabene pasti selain WNI ada juga WNA yang bermalam di situ)... sampai saat ini ditulis, update dari TV one mengatakan bahwa telah ada 17 orang yang meninggal karena ledakan 3 bom di Kuningan (tepatnya di Hotel JW Marriott dan Ritz Carlton Mega Kuningan) banyak juga orang yang luka parah terus langsung dilarikan ke UGD Medistra Hospital... kakinya hancur lebur katanya :'( *bom DIDUGA KUAT adalah bom bunuh diri karena ditemukan 2 jenazah tanpa kepala tepat di pusat lokasi kejadian* dan berita buruk ini belum berhenti sampai di situ karena ada kemungkinan MU batal datang ke Jakarta (ini bukan soal senang2 lho guys, ini kan citra bangsa Indonesia di hadapan dunia internasional) kok ya tega sih pihak yang membuat kekacauan ini, sampai memakan korban? yang bikin gue agak "curiga", dua hotel ini ya hotel yang direncanakan sebagai tempat bermalam tim MU!!! (sampai berita ini ditulis, kabarnya MU masih berada di Malaysia dan mendapat Travel Warning)... tegaaaa yang ngebom tegaaaa! huhuhuhu... sekarang MU dah resmi batal ke Indonesia! what a great way to be in mid Visit Indonesia 2009. are you happy now, terrorists?
