This is for you, my pren :)

We once said, work as if you work for God. And that's become our "tagline".
We stop whining, we stop being negative (most of the time), we work harder (not smarter --;;), we still complain and we can't stop being "stupid". But one thing for sure, we care of our work.

For years, we kinda used to the situation when we address each other as "kena mental" *ngikik*
For years our sanity is questioned (most of the time...by ourselves *hopeless*).
I told you this morning, "Kewarasan jauh lebih penting", and I mean it. (as if we still have the luxury called "kewarasan").
We used to "nge-babu" with pride (I am still now), babu-ing proudly. From booking a meeting room, take care of projector, ordering drinks, thousands of minutes of meetings, meeting pake baju penganten...No matter what, at the end of the day, we are happy. In your words, ngebabu with achievements *luv this*

Based of all above, now I am telling you, loud and clear:
You are not a quitter
You totally absolutely with no doubt 100% HAVE to feel happy of what you are doing
You have to feel content
You have to be allowed to be stupid (sometimes) and noone should judge you by the size of your brain!! #lho??? *mati lu*
And most importantly, you have to be GORJES!
Now, do anything you have to do.

*ngos-ngos* *ambil nafas* *bengek*

Selesai! (kenapa kyknya gw marah2 yah? hihihihihii)

Apa kabar, fans?

Lama juga nih ga nge-blog dan sayah pun yakin kalo fans sekalian sudah kangen samah sayah *tampar*

The famous project unity aka kewill is kicking in...hard and real! *setan*

Workshops, meetings dan trainings tiada henti dari bulan lalu dan akan berlanjut untuk 6-7 bulan ke depan. Sebagai akibatnya, jerawat dan mata panda pun kembali bercokol di wajah mulusku ini. Berakhir sudah karir modelling gw kalo begini caranya!

Belakangan ini memang sumbu gw makin pendek. Sulut dikit, meledak!! Kalo istilah nya temen gw: senggol dikit, mati lu! *bawa golok*

Yah berdoa, berikanlah sayah kesabaran berlimpah-limpah...need it badly these days.

Cukup lah bagian nelangsa nya, sekarang mari ke bagian senang2nya. So, the big fat wedding is coming in 2 more weeks. My lophely pren from the planet of bengongness of the otakicik klan (ngomong apaan siih ini), Neng Keti is getting married in 2 weeks. Yipppieeeeeeee.....*tabur duit*

Dan kami sebagai anggota klan otakicik pun, bertekad untuk tampil maksimal. Kerempongan nyari baju buat kondangan pun kyknya ga kalah sama heboh nya penganten nyari baju kawinannya. Dan sampai hari ini gw masih belum pasti mau pake baju apa....sayah ga punya bajuuuuu....whoooaaaaaaaaaa!!! *memandang nanar walk-in closet* *dipelototin suami*

Dan apa kabarnya anak kicikku, Icarus? He is 3 years and 3 months now. 2 hari yg lalu, gw pulang dan disambut anak kicik yg nyanyi lagu dangdut dengan fasih nya:

"Bang Jali....Bang Jali...goyangnya bikin ebooyyy (heboh). Bang Jali...Bang Jali...goyang nya bikin eboooyyy...."

Kencang lantang tanpa fals *bangga*

Dan tentunya, si ncus dan si mbok langsung gw sidang. Kenapa anak sayah bisa nyanyi lagu dangdut yg notabene sering ditampilkan di acara F*sbuk*rs yg tak layak tonton itu? Dan kenapa anak sayah jadi kenal sama yg nama nya Olg*????

Padahal sudah bertahun2 saya wanti2 chanel tipi mana yg layak tonton buat Ius dan mana yang ngga. *sigh*

Tapi yah, I choose to relax. Tetap ngomel sama ncus and mbok, tp ga sampe murka lah.

All in all, these weeks, I am tired but thankful :)

Loph yu full, fans....*smooch*

Kolaborasi Cina dan Padang

*postingan ini tidak dimaksudkan mengandung unsur SARA. If you come and want to find SARA related post, then stop your reading here!*

Seperti pernah sayah tulis di salah satu postingan dulu (entah yang mana...*blogger macam apa*), I will go to Seoul in October this year with 2 gorjes ladies.

Di masa2 Lebaran ini, dimana kerjaan lagi agak slow, kita memutuskan inilah saatnya booking hostel/guesthouse. Kalo ga, mau pegimana kita apply visa? Mau tidur di mana kita di koreyah nanti? Sayah ga mau nge-gembel di stasiun...kan sayah princess *ditampar*

Karena yang masih "tertinggal" di kantor lama hanyalah sayah dan Meryl, jadilah kita berdua yg ketiban rejeki buat browsing hotel.

Dan karena gw yang pernah mengadu nasib selama 2 tahun (kurang dikit) di Korea sana, gw lah yang dapet rejeki browsing, dan Meryl dapet rejeki bayarin dulu pake cc nya (jangan tanya kenapa Meryl yg bayarin dulu, mungkin karena limit cc nya yg XX juta ituuuuuu *kembali ditampar*)

Selama berhari2 gw dengan tekun dan berkonsentrasi penuh browsing hotel *kagak kerja, neng??* bolak balik email2an dengan si eneng Gati dan dengan tetap put neng Keti in copy *tega yah kitah* akhirnya kita memutuskan akan booking hostel A dengan tarif per orang XXX rupiah.

Tetapi karena sudah sore, kita putuskan besok pagi sajah kita buking.

Keesokan paginya, harga hostel A ternyata sudah berubah menjadi YYY rupiah per orang (yg sebenarnya cuma selisih 30rebu perak, sodara-sodara!!).

*Disclaimer: Gw ini Cina, walo ga terlalu cina2 amat kelakuan, tp darah cina mengalir deras. Meryl ini orang Minang or generally disebut Padang*

Jadi yah, kami berdua terpaku menatap layar laptop, sejenak kemudian gw berkata: "Udah, gw browsing lagi deh hostel lain." yang disambut anggukan gegap gempita dari neng Meryl. *Pelit, irit, mreki, entahlah kenapa*

Dan gw menghabiskan waktu berpuluh2 menit ke depan mencari hostel idaman dengan harga idaman (baca: hostel sekeren2nya, lokasi strategis abis dengan harga semurah2nya).

Akhirnya kutemukan hostel ituuuu...Hostel B, dengan harga yang even lebih murah dari Hostel A sebelum harganya naik! *bingung ga bacanya*

Dengan semangat irit makirit, Cina dan Padang ini ngendon depan laptop dan mulai buking dengan jemari gemetaran klik...klik...klik...*syukurlah tak ada aib terjadi*

Setelah confirm semua nya, dengan bangga kita sampaikan "prestasi" ini kepada 2 orang teman kita yang sedang libur pulang kampung di Bandung dan sedang memeras otak di ujung satunya sudirman.

Satu jam kemudian...gw merenung, menatap excel file update2an Seoul trip. Melototin list option hostel2 pilihan yang sempat kita pertimbangkan berikut harga nya.

Setelah dihitung2 dalam otakicik gw, selisih antara Hostel A dan Hostel B itu at the end jatuhnya....3000...tiga ribuu....3 REBU PERAK/orang/hari.

Jadi semua kemeriahan dan keriuhan hari ini contribute to 3000....TIGA RIBUUUUUUU....TIGA REBU PERAK/hari sodara-sodaraaa!! *antara ngenes dan puas*

PS: Gw nulis sambil ngikik2 sendiri

Keramas?? Kenapaa??

Jadi tadi gw makan siang bareng geng otakicik (sebut saja nama nya keti,gati dan meryl - oh yes, you can find them at my friend list in this blog hihihi). Seperti biasa, dalam 1 jam semua kebodohan, sebagai bukti kalo otak kita memang kicik, dilepaskan tak terkendali.
We love laughing at ourselves, and our friends...yeah we kinda mean, in a sweet way *silakan bingung*

After lunch gw,meryl n gati pun balik ke kantor kita yg di ujung satunya Sudirman naik taksi. And one stupid conversation leads to another, lahir lah percakapan mejik berikut:

Gw : "horeeee jadi meryl kayaaaa....bayarin trip kita ke niujilen (new zealand) tahun depan" (jangan tanya kenapa meryl bisa jadi kaya, kenapa kita bisa punya trip ke NZ, ataupun kenapa meryl harus bayarin)

Gati : "gw nyetir deh...nyetir selama di Niujilen....gpp...nyetirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" (ok, we got you,gat...lo nyupir...iyaaaaaa...i am not gonna take your job)

Meryl : "eeh...ehh...ehhh..." *gelagapan* (but we took it as a "iyah, gw bayarin kalian ke niujilen"

Gw : "asiiikk....meryl bayarin yah...gw bawain make up gw semua deh. Jadi lo ga usah bawa2 punya lo....asik kan??? Pake punya gw ajaaaa" (sesungguhnya ini tawaran ga mutu)

Gati :"nti Keti gw suruh keramasin elo dah, ryl....gampangggg"

Bertiga : (ngakak2 bareng)....lalu hening sepersepuluh detik...kemudian...

Gw : "ok, gati nyetir....gw bawa make up....trus kenapa Keti kebagian KERAMAS????!!! Ga ada yg lain apa????"

Bertiga : (ngakak lg tanpa alasan...membayangkan meryl dikeramasin keti)

Meryl : "kalian memang mental babu ga ketolong....org nawarin bayarin makan kek selama di niujilen, bayarin visa kek....ini kok nawarin segala sesuatu yg sifatnya ngebabu..."

Yaah demikianlah posting ini saya persembahkan kepada 3 wanita tanpa logika....no matter what people tell us, we are happy to be stupid in our way....

(Dan marilah kita berdoa bersama-sama kita jadi ke niujileeeeennnnn......dan dibayarin meryl tentunya....dan semua dikeramasin Keti!!!)

(Finding) the reason to fall in love (again)

Jangan pada sotoy yah baca judulnya. Ini bukan soal cinta2an ala abege, bukan soal falling in love again sama pak suami juga (kan sayah in loph eperidei sama pak suami...*tersipu-sipu* *silakan muntah*)

So, this is about, falling in love all over again with my job, my worklife.
Gosh, it has been a rocky year for me and these couple of months I realize that I actually in the searching of reason(s) to fall in love again. Work wise.

I am writing this one day before my 9th anniversary with this company/group. I have been soooo freakin' lucky to get the chance to see the world and work with various people in various position. Not many company can give you this opportunity. I know!
Along the years I have to admit, despite of the ups and downs, I can say I loveee (or at least trying my best to love) all the jobs I performed. Even at the lowest point where you were beaten up so badly (sampe kena mental - istilah kerennya), still love is in the air (yaakkk mari muntah bersama).

This past year, it has been soooo hard for me to get that old loving vibes back. Perhaps because I am getting older (yes, 25 can be considered old is some culture! *umpetin KTP*) or perhaps because I am just simply stop myself searching for the vibes. Dunno.

And as I said, these couple of months, things are getting clear. Perhaps of new fresh air, new challenges or new salary *wink* (you wish! in your dream!), but all I know the vibes are here. Slowly but sure. I just need to pull myself up together again and start believing in my brain to do her magic (I need a loooootttt of magic, dear brain. Pls help me!).

To my friends who read this post (and you know who you are), thanks for just being there and making fun of our brains. And to my friend who reminds me of the fact that I am 1 out of 3 out of 6000 applicants that made the cut, thanks :)

And how in love I want to be with what I am doing? Just look at FUN. when they perform their music. They look so damn happy when they sing and play the music. And that's where I aim to be. me and my job.

The three of them together...happiness :)

Dear Vierco, Icarus, and Vierro,
Always remember those happy moments you share, years and years to come yah...

When words can not express

the sadness of losing your beloved one(s).
A friend of mine (actually friends of mine, as the couple are both my friends) just lost their 2,5 months old daughter this morning.
I know that they have been waiting for a child for years and when finally the angel is here in their life, she just stayed for a short meaningful time.
And I just can not imagine the sadness they have to bear, no words will heal the wound, nothing in this world will, I believe. I just pray that they will get through these hard times together and support each other (which I truly believe they will).

My sincere condolences and prayer go for you both and the lil baby. God's grace is with you and will be with you through out the times.
