One person's optimism can make a different

I happen to read the news every morning now, I tend to certainly read the news about Indonesia, was just curious about what's going on in Indonesia. My mom once told me that Indonesia has spread its wings and ready to take off... wait, wait! I mean its economy is boosting up. 

Of course, for me, as an "anak bangsa" that lives abroad is totally excited to read all of the information and proud to hear Indonesia is making a progress. Here are some news that I heard several weeks ago:

• Re-denomination in Rupiah's currency
• One time zone for the whole Republic of Indonesia (Aligning the time along with Singapore and Malaysia)
• Developing Jakarta's infrastructures by providing public MRT for Jakarta 
• Renovating the International Airport Soekarno Hatta, Jakarta
• etc

There are too much implementations for the countries, which I won't mention them on this blog, but what I am sad about is when I am so happy about that, some people show their pessimistic comment about the plan. I mean, come on, WE SHOULD SUPPORT THIS, GUYS! I do believe that our country was lame, but it's time for us to stand up and be the best! take that pessimistic feeling out of ya-self! 

You know, I assume that Indonesia won't develop without your support! so just be happy and don't be pessimist!

Life is all about metaphorical dynamic!

So I have been wanting to write this blog ever since I heard this statement from my professor. About 2 weeks ago, I attended the new class called the Integrated Marketing Communication (sounds promising), with the same old professor (name will not be mentioned here!). At the beginning, he was asking all the pupils, including me, how have we been so far in this class, we all answered; we are fine (though some not).

Long story short, he saw us as an individual who have been through a lot of knowledge through this Master program (like from zero to hero, nothing to something, baby to adult) and he stated that life is about metaphor. He said to us that process in life; such as being born, being a baby, being a teen and being an adult, they are all only a metaphor process, then when a human's thought are reached up till the highest, then they start to search a meaning of life in a deeper level. That is why, God was born in a human's brain.

I kinda agree 10000% to what he said now; why some people are looking for God, some people are just ok without God but still believe it and some people do not believe it whatsoever. If i can narrow down my thought, it's just like this:

• When you are a kid - you think "ah ok! I don't need to go to work, let my parents do that, I don't need anything my life is perfect" 
• When you are a teen - you think "oh ok! I need to get a great education for my futures"
• When you are an adult - you think "oh wow! I am now an adult and this is what I have wanted in my life" but sometimes money does not determine to always be with you and you are gonna think that "oh please don't take my money away", which you will be scared shit out of your pants and some other troubles come over your way which sometimes you are out of control to handle those. 

Then in this stage, you will feel that you need something else, like another entity that more than just "you and me" form of a human relationship. As you all can see from my analysis, that you are still the same person, eat the same thing, love the same person, like the same color, even your names are still the same since you were born, BUT, the way of your thought has changed. 

Nevertheless, what I am trying to say is, people believe in a certain GOD because they are thinking. Thinking in which way HE could help them, support them, encourage them by saying HE loves us! And the people who do not believe of GOD is just a person who actually never develop his/her way of thinking. right or wrong? 

Seriously, for me, I do believe in GOD, because I am thinking, people!!!! 

In addition, "I think therefore, I am" by Descartes has to be changed into "I think therefore, God is" right... Well, I don't want to convince you to believe in God. but at least think! 

Because when you are thinking, you will find...

                                                                                 HIM!!!

LOL, I mean GOD! 

Damn, I wrote like a master student-ish! HATE IT!

A post card from my holiday

OMG, 'tis been a while I wrote something on this blog. So many things have passed me by, just too much. Such as:

• I am now a master students of International Communication Management 
• I am no more single! (WHOOP WHOOP!)
• Amy Winehouse died
• Etta James died
• Whitney Houston died
• I was on TV!
• Got a great internship in a software company called, Shakespeak
• My dad will retire soon
• My sister got a new rag doll cat for her birthday
• My brother becomes so obsessed with WHITE PEOPLE AND THEIR COUNTRY (especially, the land of Napoleon) 
• I am now eager to read newspaper every morning (just to check if Indonesia has made a sort of agreement with other countries to ease the visa regulation :P)
• I like to write in bullet points

But above all this, I am still me, just trying to become a better person everyday, which life doesn't seem to cooperate with it. However, I got a great picture from my holiday in Bali. Was cool, I felt that the Indonesian economy is getting better which people are sort of wealthier, which effects the people, including my family. Therefore, We went together to Bali with all my family (43 people), such a nice vibe!

Here you see the picture

What's up, folks?

So, Where to start?

I think it's been a year I have forgotten that this blog does exist! LOL. Well, a year has passed, many things happened, many stories have been told, etc.

Just want to update a bit; I am a Communication Bachelor eventually, after long examination of my life, I finally made it, now looking for a job, which I assume that would be a bit hard for me to be employed at the moment, but I do believe deep in my half heart, I will get it. SOMEHOW!

It's kind of annoying though to see my friends have settled down; get a job, live the life that they have been dreaming of since they were still studying at school. Although, I have never been dreaming about getting a dream job, having a cozy apartment, etc. Are they too much to dream about that? Because, what I always have dreamed of was to be free, doing shit I like.

Anyway, enough about the little spoiled annoying complaining brats. I am now doing basically nothing whatsoever. Just looking for a job which I am-not-really-busy with at the moment. I will write some more tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow-tomorrow.

Oh yeah! I wanted to change the name of the blog just now into monsieurnepassolitude since I am not anymore in my solitude (whatever, BITCHES!)




Monsieur Solitude???

Happy Spring Break-Down!

Ok before I went off to sleep, I would like to share some stories that could be considered as a miserable ones.

Outside is raining, been 2 days the rain is not stopping! Everyone is having their own spring break which is good. Some of them are going out of the country some of them are staying and got something to do nicely! They all got the plan...

I think I am the one who doesn't have a plan. What a plain! Boring!

However, I am still expecting that I could be able to perform at International Java Jazz Festival 2010. My life seems kinda pended by waiting up the news from them. My singing mate has already got a plus and go confirmation that she could perform there.

I wish tomorrow could bring me the excitement of life. PLEASE! yes please! that's what I need!

Write this God damn blog again!!! For Valentine's-day sake!!!

Some of my friends have told me for billion times to write my lousy blog again! Somehow, I used to wonder what kinda topic I could possibly write. The last time I wrote my blog, T'was the time of Christmas, I reckon. Since then, my brain was blanked up by all so-called-material-things that fogged my mind to avoid me from writing.

Anywho, Since I took my "sabbatical" months from writing my blog, that doesn't mean that I don't have many things that have happened to me, I could say that it's because I have been experiencing tons of special moments in my life, that is why I left this blog for awhile, coz I have been confused of what sort of stories I need to write for this cutie little blog of mine.

However, let's take a very close moment of occasion that many people celebrated it yesterday. Valentine's day! YUP! 4 times Valentine's day, 4 times I am a happy single. that doesn't mean I feel so sorry for myself coz I am a solitude! haha

I actually love a Valentine's day, I could see many people giving their love to others, the beautiful and lovely ornament of it, the prepared restaurant for that loving day, the love-story movies and the one that I didn't wanna miss; the Valentine's day party.

Thank God, there was a V-day party that was organized by Indonesian Students Association.

At first, I would be like "Darn it! I am nobody's boyfriend, how could I ever get into that party" but I eventually found out that the party was for everybody regardlessly! And the thing that I loved from that party was the dress code: "Semi-formal/Casual Chic"... SNAP SNAP SNAP (three snaps in the Z formation)

So since me and my best friend, Gina are single, so we dressed up magnificently! you know?! just like this quote saying "dress to impress" hahah so cheesy of course but who cares!

So we went to the party and at first we didn't know that there will be awards or whatever you may call it, but short after the party was about to come to an end, the 2 hosts announced who's gonna be the winner of the jock and the cheerleader, the fashion criminal, the best dress, the best couple, the funny couple.

And guess what?! me and my best friend, Gina won the nomination of the jock and the cheerleader! YAY! and what made me happier was I won the best dress for that night! YAY... (my style was geeky chic look). The winner got a certificate that I would consider that achievement could be put on my resume! hahaha.. oh yeah, let me write down the text on the certificates

The Jock

This certificate belongs to Aditya Elmansyah

"Congratulation!!! Here and there, people who know you might have crush on you... On this very special valentine's day with PPI Den Haag, we bestow you the honor of the-most-wanted one!"

Now you can call me "Papi Chulo!" :P And on the best dress certificate is written like this

Il Divo

Ciao, Gentiluomo

You look great tonight!!!

In this very night, day number fourteenth, second month of two thousand ten, this certificate is given to honor your unusually delicate look.

ADITYA ELMANSYAH

and it was neatly signed by the head of PPI Den Haag and the vice head of PPI Den Haag.

How I proud with myself! I mean, since I was at the elementary school, junior high or even high school, I have never dreamed that I would be the best of all my looks. I even didn't come and join to my high school's prom nite!

Now I do believe that I could easily love myself and not to blame of how I am in every way I am.

 

So, Happy Valentine's Day!

The ugliest thing in the world is when you're feeling all alone...

A song from Sarita Fraya - The Ugliest Thing in the World (my jazz singing mate) is playing through my iTunes music playlist now, I just had gone back from all these activities which made me so exhausted: Performing in Christmas event of KBRI, eating in kapsalon, photo session in Gina's house.

And now back in my little jail with all of thoughts that could scare me to death. I just got a message from my friend whom I had a plan to go together with to Austria, telling that she's not allowed to go to Austria with me by her parents due to some issues. DAMN! I know that it could happen somehow. I have prepared myself to go alone to Austria then. Sometimes I feel it's gonna be real great, sometimes I feel it's gonna be so bored to death and not to mention when I will get lost on the unknown, unreadable and unpronounceable street in Austria, to put up some more tortures; reading maps, which I am incapable of doing that. However, I will stand up and just grab what's in front of me and do it.

Beside that big deal, I just finished exploring and browsing a Facebook of my long lost family (it's like: my mother's cousins son - what the F) Just found it and saw it, I felt like why he got everything and me not (like looks and stuffs in a term of material)? that's somehow unfair! God I know you always hear my prayer :P hahah..

Nevertheless, I always think twice and assume that; well, they got their looks but we got flairs in music!

Nighty night
