interview!!

tadi ada panggilan ke hp gw, nomornya gw gak kenal. gw pikir: maybe this is it. ternyata bener! org hrnya lgs. dari hp pula! i'm flattered. dgn gaya ngomong yg santai banget. jd bsk, jam 10, gw ke indopacific utk interview. disuruh bawa majalah, buat ksh liat contoh artikel gw. pakaian rapi! yikes! musti pake dasi dah. pabolebuat deh. namanya jg demi. hahaha... nah krn bsk gw cuti, jd gak ada blog deh bsk. at least gw udah kelarin artikel klinik virus.

banyak nyamuk!

bused deh, gw nyampe kantor, lgs buka sepatu & ganti ke sendal jepit. tp lgs jg kaki gw digigitin nyamuk! bentol2 dah nih. sayangnya gak ada baygon di sini ye. hmph!

gw mabok snack nih. dr kmrn, udah abis 9! hahaha... gileee... rasanya emang unik sih. gurih2 gitu. pdhl gw gak demen jagung. amat sangat anehhhh!! gagal deh rencana diet. at least sampe abis tuh snack. musti byk2 minum aer putih nih!

ternyata sms2 absen gw sampe semalem msh menghasilkan reply. seru jg. ya itung2 maintain relationship dah. biarpun cuma sms. pabolebuat yeee... mampunya msh sms doank. hehehe...

rencana gw utk nulis skenario vcd, kmrn, gagal total! lagian ternyata kyknya bagian iklan gak mo nawarin ke asus, tp ke gigabyte. gw musti nunggu nih, soalnya motherboard gigabyte khan laen dari asus.

hari ini, pengennya gw kelarin artikel klinik virus sama isi cd! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti! musti!

snack!!!

the moment i've been waiting for is here! no, it's not the interview appointment. it's the snack!!! gw nitip snack yg mirip kyk chiki stick ke amel. bedanya ini sticknya kosong, terus dari jagung gitu. gurih banget!!! gw dibawain 1 dus isi 20. sampe saat ini udah abis 5. YUMMY!!!!

absensi sms

semalem, gw iseng. jam 9h30. blm ngantuk. not much, anyway. what to do, what to do. mo maen AOE, pda lg gw charge. nah terus iseng2 gw pegang hp. sms2 aja ye. terus gw tulis sms yg isinya kira2 begini: 'eh gw lg ngabsen nih. sapa tau nomor loe2 ada yg udah mati." terus gw kirim ke 60an nama yg ada di phonebook gw. most of them was delivered, jd artinya nomornya blm mati. few even replied, which was good. ada bbrp yg failed, jadi lgs gw apus aja. irit memori!

dari bbrp sms yg msk, gw jd terlibat diskusi sama sonya. as it turned out, majalah gp "lentera" is dead. no more. it's sad. sonya blg bagian layoutnya pd cabut. tp kasto blg, redaksinya yg pd ngilang. sheeshh... and i was planning to come back! damn! nah terus diskusinya berubah ke kegiatan apa yg cocok utk diikutin. gw udah crossed-out ps deh. dah bosen! lagian males banget klo musti ngliat muka si fashion designer yg menjijikkan itu! hiyyy... note that i won't even write down her name. it's too ugly for my blog! ngajar (teruna ato sekolah minggu) is out of question deh. terus sonya blg gmn klo bikin workshop buat pemuda. gw sih ok2 aja. i like that kind of thing. tp mslhnya, pemuda2 effatha itu gebleg2. pengennya kegiatan yg asik2, hepi, & fun2 aja. jd klo udah disuruh mikir sdikit, bubar semua. that's been the problem since 1994. some things never change.

bangun pagi2, otak gw udah dipenuhi ide2 buat vcd. i'm getting rid of the "speech". it's too boring. gw mo ganti ke "interview", and different camera angle. jd gak kliatan terlalu spt iklan. and other ideas. and so on, and so on. moga2 skenarionya bisa kelar hari ini.

you are what you eat

abis rapat redaksi, rame2 lgs cabut nengokin istri mas bambang di rs internasional bintaro. rsnya bagus banget! gak kyk rs deh! gw rasa rs pi kalah deh tuh. tp klo gleneagles mgkn sama bagusnya ya. dari tampilan sih. gak tau deh klo service.

anyway, istri si mas bambang ini ternyata ada mshl dgn ginjalnya. pdhl tadinya dikira cuma mslh tekanan darah. brrr... musti cuci darah! then it's true: you are what you eat (and drink, or don't drink). aer putih is a must! at least 8 glasses a day! tp jg jgn sampe nahan2 kencing. hiyyy... that visit sure makes me think again. tadi aja abis bezoek, khan mo makan. sampe mikir2 mo makan apaan. tp akhirnya gw makan mie jg. hehehe... at least gw minum aer putih tiap hari 3 liter! *self justification* =P

a weekend

yeah. a weekend. jelas lah! khan gak mungkin gw tulis "2 weekends", "3 weekends", or so on. ada kejadian apa aja ya sabtu-minggu kmrn? hmm... coba gw inget2. what did i do on saturday... oh, gw gak ke mana2. soalnya ada qualifying f1 siang2, since it was in china. it was a good qualifying. how often do you michael schumacher spinning in qualifying?

come sunday, the race! wah! itu balapan plg seru yg gw liat taon ini. wow! schummy spinning again! nah terus sorenya gw ke gereja. effatha! with my parents! that's quite a milestone, i'll say. di sana ktemu ramses & debby, ada ulie jg. terus gw liat nanda & maria. klo gak salah ada kakaknya nola jg, tp gw gak terlalu kenal dia, jd gak terlalu yakin. abis itu ada oma... walah! kok gw bisa lupa namanya ye? anyway, si oma ini emang plg kocak. pernah, nyokap gw telp ke rmhnya utk bilangin klo ada kakak bokap yg meninggal. nah oma ini rada budeg. somehow beritanya bisa dia tangkep, klo gw yg meninggal! nah, wkt ktemu nyokap, dia lgs nangis2 gitu. tp wkt ngeliat gw, dia jd bengong. nah abis itu baru dijelasin klo yg meninggal itu kakaknya bokap gw, bukan gw. dia lgs hepi banget. hepi bcoz i'm not dead, bukannya hepi gara2 kakak bokap gw meninggal. hehehe... skrg2 klo dia ktemu gw, dia lgs ngomong "ah kamu msh hidup!" hahaha...

oya, the knife gw putusin utk ditaroh di rmh aja. drpd ilang dicolong, mending dibawa plg deh. it's irreplacable. klo mo cari gantinya, masa gw mo minta dibawain rianti lagi dari peru?!?!?! that would be irresponsible! ya gak ri? =P

a scary, but also funny, knife

gw dibawain 3 oleh2 sama rianti. yg pertama pisau unik. menyeramkan sekaligus lucu. it's going to be a new piece of my desk decorations! liat gambarnya di bawah ini.


ini dlm posisi berdiri


ini klo pisaunya dikeluarin

scary, eh? hahaha... yg 1 lagi itu patung. patung dewa kali ya? small black thingy. gak bisa dipotret, soalnya kamera gw gak mo fokus. terus yg terakhir itu ktnya jimat. hahaha... i'm supposed to bury it underground so my leg can't be broken anymore. sounds like a good idea! tengkiu banget, ri!!! hehehe =D

payday!!

hari gajian! yiiiiiiiiiihaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! hehehe... it's the day of the month when i feel very, veryyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy rich!

going to meet rianti today. she said she's going to bring me something from peru. yikes! what's it going to be? in return gw bawain dia sambel ikan roa. it's very yummy, you know! apalagi klo dimakan bareng2 telor! *ngiler* terus gw mo kasih dia majalah infokomputer edisi september ah.

nana blg klo dia udah fwd cv gw ke bosnya. "she'll contact you directly," she said. but.. "if she finds you fit for the job." oh well. hehehe... like i said yesterday, hopefully things will fall in motion. whatever motion that will be.

still have the cold. been taking neozep & redoxon for 2 days. the first time i took proper medication since last week. moga2 minggu depan udah beres.

other than that, today's still a lazy day. and boring! huh. untungnya gw mo lunch bareng rianti. change of scenery will be good.

a new challenge??

wkt gw lg santai2 di rmh, lg ngutak-ngatik spy e-mail bisa diakses di hp, tau2 ada telpon dari nana. she offered me a job. as a PR!! ktnya mrk butuh org yg backgroundnya IT, ngerti media, sama demen nulis. as far as she knows, i'm qualified in all three aspects. *gulp* now this was surprising. sama sekali gw gak kepikiran utk pindah kerja. i'm happy where i am and i love this job. iya sih, gajinya emang rada kecil. but i'm not looking to be rich, really. tp somehow gw puzzled & excited. dunno why. mgkn krn gw bosen ngeliat temen2 gw pd mulur dari deadline? like i need a new challenge? hmph. nothing to lose, everybody says.

so this morning, gw lgs ngedit2 cv gw. it's been zipped and hasn't been updated for more than 3 years! felt awkward. hhehehehe...

abis gw edit, lgs gw kirim ke nana. and everything else will fall in motion... i hope!

a long sleep!!

gile, semalem gw tidur dari jam 7 sampe jam 4! kebo skaleee!!! hahaha... wkt di kantor emang udah ngantuk banget. nah pulang rumah lgs makan, terus mandi. biasanya abis mandi gw turun dulu buat nonton tv ato ngapain lah. tp kmrn lgs aja gw msk kamar, terus tidur dah. bangun2 udah jam 4. mantaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbb!!! gara2 minum neozep kali ye? btw nih pilek msh nongkrong aja. heran banget dah!

seharian kmrn gw santai banget di kantor. i usually am 'nyantai' klo tgl2 segini sih, soalnya deadline udah lewat, & deadline berikutnya msh bulan depan. tp temen2 gw blm! pd blm kelar! bayangin! deadline tgl 10, & tgl 21 msh pd sibuk. gawat banget. apa gara2 bos gw minggu lalu tugas ke luar negeri, jd pd nyantai ye? gak tau dah. bad habit, really. klo kyk gini sih bakalan susah mo nerbitin majalah tgl 20an. hehehe...

after a long weekend...

wow! 2 long weekends in a row! tp knp gw msh ngantuk aja ye? oh well. here's the rundown.

sabtu, bangun siang! yes! turun bentar buat makan, terus naek, tidur lagi. tp baru kira2 1-2 jam tidur, dibangunin buat pergi ke carrefour. damn! so i was very, very grumpy. males banget deh. udah gitu rame banget pula. tau aja lah gmn suasana carrefour (kita pergi ke yg di permata hijau, btw) klo weekend.

minggu, not going anywhere. di rumah aja, tidur2an & tidur beneran =D

senen, bangun rada pagi tuh, jam 9an deh. abis itu makan, terus pergi balikin kursi roda ke pangkalan jati. terus makan di inn's. di sini ketemu mey mey. what a surprise! ngobrol2 sana-sini bentar. ternyata si daus skrg lagi di texas! the state in usa, mind you, not the friend chicken (<-- as told by mey mey). abis makan, pergi ke plaza indonesia. nekad aja nih ceritanya, gw di sana jalan sama sekali tanpa tongkat. i can almost walk normally, so why not try it. not without some work, though. bokap blg, klo gw jalan terlalu cepet, kliatan deh pincangnya. so what? i'm limping anyway. hehehe... end result, biasalah cape2 dikit. but not too bad, actually. msh lebih cape wkt abis dari dufan, and there i used the crutches most of the time! kyknya udah saatnya utk fly freeee, freeee from the crutches!! tp skrg di kantor gw msh bawa tongkat utk jaga2 klo2 gw lagi males =D

oya, senen itu khan pemilu ye? lupa! =P disamperin ke rumah, since i was a disabled person (HUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!). what a privilege! enak banget deh nyoblos di rumah. =D terus, hasil pemilunya:
MAMPUS MEGAWATI!!!!! HUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

update: box blog yg kaco itu ternyata klo di ms internet explorer makin kaco lagi. aneh. hmmm...

a new skin!

it's only been 2 days and the lighthouse is gone! i wasn't really comfortable with it, terus ditambah si icha ktnya pake template yg sama di blog private dia! *grrr..* so i thought "ok, why don't i try a new skin?" edit sana-sini, tambah sana-sini, potong sana-sini. so this is it. my blog with the new layout! ditambah tag board. terus gw spent almost 1/2 hour for the main picture. scary, isn't it? hahaha... i think i should've arranged it so it looks like i'm looking at my other selves. but what the hell, gw gak terlalu kerajinan deh!

oya. box blogger yg biasanya nongol di bagian atas, yg gantiin iklan itu, jadi kaco balo di sini. cuekz aja deh. mnrt gw malah looks cool gitu =D

HAAATCCHIIII!!! *'scuze me*

pilegh beradh. kyknya gw ketularan bokap nih. soon, serumah bakal pilek jg. hehe... untung kerjaan udah kelar semua for this week. otherwise this cold would annoy me so much.

how do you like the lighthouse? kinda... dunno... scary... yg jelas gw jd inget sama byron bay!

1 lagi org tertarik blogging krn gw. si icha, alias tirza gisela, alias gizelle. the thing is, she's almost blank when it comes to html. so to customize her blog, she doesn't have a clue. sad. i'd like to help, really, tp susah klo lewat yahoo messenger, soalnya gw musti liat template dia kyk apa. i'm not too good at being a 'remote helper'. hehehe...

kmrn mas jull nawarin ide utk nerbitin infokomputer tgl 20an. jadi, edisi maret keluarnya 20an februari. it's a very good ide, me reckon. utk bisa kyk gitu, deadline musti dimajuin banget! let's say, 20s the month before. can we achieve that? i know I CAN. there's no reason we can't achieve that, make the deadline. it's all about willingness and attitude, really. cieeee... look who's talking! hahaha... but at least i finished faster than the others. even if it's not going to be credited (i hope it will!!!), i still have the satisfaction. it's all about myself! hahaha... i'm so selfish!

yikes. mendadak dipanggil ngobrol2 utk ngomongin vcd. hmm.. vcd merakit pc lagi. sounds boring to me, honestly. but duty is always first, isn't it. what puzzles me is somehow i feel very important. a career move is on the way? perhaps. tp garis karir gw skrg tuh sbg hardware reviewer, not as journalist. soalnya gw jarang banget keluar utk wawancara2. at times that i do that, mainly from computer hardwares' perspective. oh well. let's just live day by day. hehehe... heavy, man!

a new blog!

nah, akhirnya gw mutusin utk bikin blog di alamat baru. http://flowchart.blogspot.com. hmmm... alamatnya aneh? mgkn aja. yg jelas gw dpt ide utk pake nama "flowchart" soalnya pas banget di depan mata gw ada "problem solving flowchart". it's an old habit, really. dulu wkt gw msh demen pake icq & irc, utk milih nickname gw bakal ambil dari kata2 yg ada di sekitar gw.

klo titlenya, "whatever i may desire", dunno, it just popped up in my head. kedengeran kyk judul lagunya metallica sih "wherever i may roam". oh well. the idea is, this is my blog. jd apapun yg gw lakuin di sini, ya terserah gw donk. =P jadi juga klo namanya gak nyambung sama alamatnya, ya itu bisa2nya gw aja. =P

the template isn't too bad, actually. dan ini salah satu template standard dari blogger. abis gw tadi sempet milih2 skin di blogskins, kok kyknya aneh2.

all in all, the process of creating & customizing this new blog took less than an hour.

ok, now to the day-to-day routine. i finished all of my main articles, ahead of all the others! yessssss!!! even though i was late 5 days from the deadline. the others are worse! hehehe... skrg tinggal infobaru, but it's so insignificant anyway.

other than that, kyknya gw mulai flu lagi nih *sigh* untung besok udah jumat, dan senen libur soalnya pilpres. i can be happy with that.

si adeline ternyata ketularan ikutan bikin blog. liat aja alamatnya di daftar link temen2 gw. it has a nice layout. ktnya sih alamatnya mgkn bakal berubah, so we'll see. one comment buat adeline: loe blm edit template loe bener2 ya? link comment yg ada di sini msh ngelink ke blogger, bukan haloscan. i assume you've registered with haloscan, soalnya ada link di situ.
