We Are Moving

Aduh, tired juga ni pindahan. Padahal I actually did nyicil my stuffs already. Most of my stuffs I piled them up at home first. At least I need to get all the belongings out of the room. Later on I will sorteeren everything up.
Apparently not what my sista was thinking. She goes slow with the packing. And then finally, the last day, even most of the stuffs has been moved out, there are still some in the room. And STILL she planned to leave it there and take care of them the following day. WHICH MEANS... I'll be the one who's gonna pick all the left overs. Oh-No, won't let that happened! Tidy everything up, and leave nothing... only the cupboards, since it's going back home.

Anyway, already at the new place tonight. Even everything is still scatered around, at least all the stuffs are here.
I was very tired before, since I've just finished the BBBS Xmas event with the orphans a few hours ago. But now, am still wide awake.

Never mind. As long as I can connect, am ok :)

Never Ever Judge!

Was home the other day, cos headache.
Browsing TV, looking for something nice to watch.
Suddenly bumped into one reality show in SCTV "Pacar Pertama".. It has started already, so I just started figuring out what this show is about along the way.

Apparently it's about girls/boys who wants to be connected to their old boyfriend or girl friend. I tried to google more about this show, so you can read here.

Anyway, since I've already watched it halfway, I don't know what really happened at the beginning. But I assumed, it's just as simple as this girl is trying to get connected to her past boy friend. I forgot the girl's name, but I remember the guy's name is Heru.

Seems like this girl and the PP crew has been looking around for Heru for quite some time. The scene I saw is that they found him at his dorm (kost huis). Heru didn't look happy when he saw his "girl friend" came along with a bunch of camera and two stranger -which is the hosts. He seemed quite pissed, and tried to avoid this girl. They kept asking him to go along and have a date with this girl, since she's been trying to look for him for quite some time.

Finally he said yes -maybe just to let them get off his back, and make another arrangement to meet up again on the same place, another day or the following day (forgot!).

That particular day, the girl went with the crew to meet up with Heru. Imagining that they will have a nice date, with the camera tagging along -oh-kay! But what happened was totally different.

When they arrived at his place, a big muscle guy was standing by in front of the door. Seems like he's guarding the door. He then stopped them when they tried to enter.

"Who are you looking for?" he asked with a strong voice.
"We are here to meet Heru. Is he here?" the girl asked.
"He is not here. I've been waiting for him since morning!!" he almost shouted to them. "Do you know where he is?" he then asked again.
"Sorry, we don't know. We're supposed to meet up here." one of the hosts answer. "We're from a reality TV show."
"OK. If you meet him, tell him I'm looking for him!!" he said.
"Sure, but if I may asked, what is it about? and who are we talking with? Just in case we meet him." asked the host.
"Just tell him, I'm looking for him (he mentioned his name). It's a personal matter!" the guy said.

Then, all the TV crew plus the girl, half running took off.

In the car they start discussing about what just happened. It was clear, that the guy is a debt collector. The hosts try to put some senses on this girl, since apparently this Heru is a person with problems. You don't wanna hang out with guys like that!

Suddenly, the girl's cell rang. Was Heru!!
He then suggested her to meet up with him in another place, which the girl new already.

Then they drove up there.
They saw a guy from a far, waiting recklessly. Wearing jackets, and hats on. Like he don't want anyone to recognize him. Like he's running from something.
The girl then approach Heru.

"What happened? Why are you acting like this? Why is that guy looking for you?"
she asked him all this questions.
"I'm in trouble, so I suggest you don't meet me anymore. I don't want to drag you into my problems. So, now you leave me alone. Please stop following me."

Then he took off.

They were all stunned. Don't know what to do. The girl apparently was shocked. She started to cry, and still questioning all Heru's actions.
The guy host suggested her to just do what Heru said. "It's a guy thing. If he already told you so, you might as well do so. Apparently he don't want to put you in trouble. So, why not respect that?" he said.

But when they saw him get into a cab, they decided to follow along.
He stopped at a pharmacy shop or a lab, asked the driver to wait, came out with a bag of probably medicine. Then the cab strolled again to another place. This time, it's a cafe. He got out, paid the cab. When he approached the cafe, a lady -looks older, was waiting. They kissed each other on the cheek. And then enter the cafe. This is broad day light!

All the stalker in the other car was stunned. Seems like they don't know what to expect.
"Is that his aunt?" asked the girl.
"Don't think so.. they won't act like that if it's aunt-nephew." said the girl host.
"OK then, I think we should just barge in there. Are you ready for this?" asked the guy. "You got to be ready, no matter what!"
"OK!" said the girl.

Then, they parked the car, and stroll in with all the cameras.
Inside, they found Heru and the lady, in the corner, intimating.
The lady was shocked, with all the cameras recording her. She stood up, "You set me up??!" and then she gave Heru a slap, and left him immediately.
Heru, on the other hand was also shocked. He didn't realize this would happen.
"What are you doing here? Told you not to follow me?"
He was screaming towards his girl friend.

The girl was screaming also in his face, "What are you doing here? Who are you? Are you her pimp or mistress, or whatever?"
Heru then just walked away, exiting the cafe.
The girl, not satisfied getting no answer from him, tagging along from behind. Hammering him with all this questions.

Finally, in the parking lot, maybe he couldn't stand it any longer.
He was half screaming at the girl's face ,
"Yes, I'm a pimp! Yes' I'm a mistress! Are you happy now?? Thank you for humiliating me!!!"

His gf was shocked. Crying. Still screaming for answers.
"Why this.. " and "Why that.. " came out.

"Are you happy now? Satisfied??! I have ALL my reasons! But you have humiliate me. Why can't you just leave me alone? I have all my reasons!!!"

He was about to leave, but the host guy approached him.
"We are very sorry for what happened. But you see, this girl cares so much for you. She goes through everything just to find you. You said you have your reason, right? Why don't you explain to her? She said she's willing to help.. Just try."

"OK. If you wanna know my reason, you come with me now to the hospital" he said.

They all agreed, and all in the same car, heading towards a clinic.

There, Heru lead them to a room, that has a "Recovery Room" signage on the door.
Inside, we all can see a girl, lying unconscious. Many tubes were attached to her body.
"This is the reason, why I did all that." heru starts to explain, "This is my little sister. She had kidney failure. She needs to come every 2 weeks. She's all I have now, it's only me and her."

Everyone was shocked. Including me.
What a struggle!!

It's Attitude, My Friend!

Was listening to HardRock FM on the way back after dropping my dad for his general check ups @ the hospital and got interested to the topic they're discussing.
It was whether you will be more attractive towards people that can speak other languages especially English.
Ih.

Makes me wanna write in Indonesian!!

Jadi gimana?
Lu akan kelihatan lebih keren kalo bisa ngomong cas cis cus.
Ciz. Masa sih?

Just to make everything clear.
Alasan utama gw nulis blog pake bahasa cas cis cus sih krn pengen blog-nya dibaca oleh semua org, tidak hanya terbatas sama temen2 yang berbahasa Indonesia.

Jadi, bener ga sih, kita akan lebih attracted - pinjam istilahnya penyiar, sama org yang jago cas cis cus? Bener ni akan lebih PD kalo bisa cas cis cus?

Dia kasi contoh, seandainya ada 2 orang laki tampang biasa2 aja, tp yang satu jago cas cis cus... para wanita akan lebih milih yang jago cas cis cus. Ga peduli tampang.

Oh ya, lagi mereka siaran itu ada pembicara tamu, Patrick siapaaa gitu. Kayaknya sih bukan org Indonesia. Trs dia bilang gini, "wah, if it's true, then that means I got a huge market here!"
Ih, males bgt ga sih? Ayo dong people, jangan bikin bule2 itu GeEr!

Kalo menurut gw, iya sih, klo bisa ngomong lebih dari satu bahasa, it's OK. Added value ceunah. Orang ambon bilang, "ale batu!" :)
Karena, suka or kagak, orang akan menilai lu punya kelebihan.

Trs bwt si oknum sendiri, tentu saja dia akan lebih PD, tapi klo kelebihan PD juga jadi eneg ga sih? :D

Di jagad raya Jakarta ini, ada 2 jenis orang (sesuai pengalaman gw aja ni ya):
satu, kelompok orang yang bisa cas cis cus tapi rendah hati dan tidak blagu :)
dua, kelompok orang bisa cas cis cus trs rendah diri jadinya blagu :)

Biasanya golongan orang pertama, mereka tau membawa diri dengan baik. Cas cis cus-nya kagak perlu JAGO (makanya gw pake kata 'bisa'), tapi orang ngerti apa yang mereka omongin. Biar kata, kadang sala2 juga. Itu namanya dia mo belajar. Itu berarti juga, orangnya pinter.

Nah, kelompok orang berikutnya ini yang suka reseh. Iya sih bisa cas cis cus. Tapi, mentang2 jago cas cis cus, jadi suka sok asyik gayanya. Sok Amerika lah. Malah kadang suka jadi lebih bule dari yang bule hahaha. Idih, males ga sih?

Jadi gimana dong?
Well, akhirnya2 balik lagi sih..ke sikap sifat karakter.
Biar kata ganteng selangit trs mentang2 jago cas cis cus, lu jadi sok asik super PD n berasa cerdas.. ya ke laut aja deh!
Kayaknya akan lebih asik ngobrol ama orang yang biasa2 aja, bisa dikit2 cas cis cus juga gapapa, tp rendah hati, bisa bawa diri dengan baik! :)
Orang cerdas tp blagu, ga ada yang mo temenan kan. Paling kalo pun ada yang mau, pasti karena asas manfaat! Hoahahaha.

So, attitude rules!!
Hidup Attitude!

Obama Syndrome

I've kindda had it with this Obama Syndrome in Jakarta.
Suddenly everyone feels like they had a connection with him, just because he once lived in Indonesia.
This old friend was interviewed, that old classmate was suddenly in tabloids, etc. This friend was congratulating that friend, after Obama's election, just because that guy was school mates with him.

Like he would've remembered?
Well, probably he would, just slightly though!

Pokoknya, I'm getting tired of this!

I Vote For Lintang

Today we went and watched Laskar Pelangi in Planet Hollywood together with the orphans from Beriku Hati and Rumah Anugrah.

I was happy coz the kids, some was laughing and others were crying :)
Means they enjoyed it much.

For myself, I didn't have much time to think and analyze this movie.
(I know I wasn't supposed to do that, don't analyze, just enjoy!)


Overall, I did enjoy the story. Despite what Vera said. "This movie is exaggerating. I'm an anak kampung, but I don't act like them." [Sowry Ver!]

I love what they did, especially those little kids. They played it so well.
Enjoyed the scene when Ikal got a crush with Aling :)
The no expression ,"lima menit ya...." "lima menit ya..." from A Kiong
And Mahar, a very creative kid with his tape, battery, and
"Ini lagu jazz, lagunya orang-orang intelek"












But with Lintang..

He's the smartest one. Always motivating his peers. Always loves school
On the other hand, as the eldest son, felt going to work with dad was more important. Felt desperately responsible for the family.
The dad, single parent. A fisherman. Only had one son. But still encourage him to go to school, instead of helping him goes fishing.

I don't like what happened to Lintang.
The decision he had to make between education and taking care of his siblings.
He's the smartest one. The one who always motivate his friends.
But then, need to decide something which is not pleasant!

Imagine, coming home as a champ, after winning the competition.
With a trophy.
Found out that dad was missing, and at the end will never return.

Classmates waiting for him. Five days already since he skipped class.
Finally, when the teacher decide to pay him a visit, a man came by and hand her a note.
"Dad died. I'll come by for the last time to say goodbye."

Again...
I don't like what happened to Lintang.
The decision he had to make between education and taking care of his siblings.
He's the smartest one. The one who always motivate his friends.
But then, need to decide something which is not pleasant!





I wish he decided differently.
I wish there were Big Brother Big Sister Program during those days!
