Just A Note...

...calmly cried watching the memorial ceremony for Michael Jackson... i felt so weird. i didn't read all the news about his death for the past two weeks thinking i wouldn't get the right information about it. all news spoke about 'the possibilities', as usual. we never know the truth, so i preferred to deal with his death instead of reading rubbish! i didn't cry until i saw his casket held by his brothers, taken to the center of the Staples Center's hall. It was just like...i don't know... it was just like a final statement that he is dead for real (whether his body really was inside the casket or not...). And the ceremony that looked more like a concert was so sadly ironic. The concert was supposed to be his final show, but then the fact is...he was there, inside the casket, while other entertainers sang for him...that's not how the plan was made...
I really try to accept all this as simply a regular stuff that happened, you know just like people said...'shit does happen!'. I mean, he is Michael Jackson, i knew him as a superstar just like many other fans. It was not like i knew him for real, so i try to think that it's just like any other star who passed away. But the fact is... i can't! I google his name everyday, look for his images, save it to my computers, and then repeatedly see those images... it's hurtful but i can not help it. Knowing that he's not here anymore is a sad thing. Guess it's true that you never know what you got till it's gone! My friends start to ask me why i still mourn for his death. I simply don't know the answer, it is my feeling, i can't help it. I know i can't be like this forever and i know i wont. But i wont apologize for what i feel and all my reactions on this.
I just hope that all this sad feeling, tears, prays and hopes ( from me and people all over the world) will enough to bring Michael to have a better place in heaven. And may God with you, Michael!
I miss you already...

The Death of Peterpan

remembering the Man in The Mirror...

the world mourns...

farewell my summer love...

off the wall...

he's out of everybody's life...the world loves MJ

remember the time...

even gang Sawo mourned for Jacko (haha...)

more than 10 days after he's gone, i still mourns for the death of the brilliant but troubling life of a global icon...
oh well...

Gone Too Soon

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon
Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon
Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like The Loss Of Sunlight
On A Cloudy Afternoon
Gone Too Soon
Like A Castle
Built Upon A Sandy Beach
Gone Too Soon
Like A Perfect Flower
That Is Just Beyond Your Reach
Gone Too Soon
Born To Amuse, To Inspire, To Delight
Here One Day
Gone One Night
Like A Sunset
Dying With The Rising Of The Moon
Gone Too Soon
Gone Too Soon

Sentimental Feeling

i just realized that most of the images found on google based on 'i miss you' keyword are all describe the sense of sadness. does missing someone mean something sad? does it mean something that can make you cry? i guess it does. whether someone that you miss is around you or not, i think missing someone is one of the sentimental feeling!
i am now missing you...
so i'm officially in the 'sentimental mood'
whatever that means
guess i just want you to be here
=(

RIP brother of Nyoman

losing someone you love

been there done that...
i know how you feel
but i wont say that...
all i can say is
may God blesses you,
and your family
during this time and always...
i send the best pray
for your brother
rest in peace, brother of Nyoman
as for you, Nyoms
my deep condolence and sympathy

i'll see you in jakarta, okay dear...

In Dark for Our Lovely Earth

On March 28, people from across the world say 'yes' to just switch off all the electricity for about one hour (08.30-09.30 PM). This was dedicated to the earth, we call it 'Earth Hour'. I and my family, we also switched off the electricity for one hour except the one light in front of our house. We actually went to the city and see how the city (Bogor) respond, and unfortunately most of the lights still turned on. But, somehow, i'm glad knowing that Jakarta participated in it, and off course others big cities. Realizing that we have only one earth, i think we can do more than that for the earth. With 'Earth Hour' , it's one way to start it...

the earth turned dark for about 1 hour

earth hour in jakarta

only car lights lighted jakarta that night

see, jakarta looked fine with minimum light?!

save the energy (in Ottawa)

right & left were dark!

chicago looked even prettier in small lights

dramatic view from San Fransisco bridge

the most famous city in participating Earth Hour, Sydney!

Switching off the lights in Jakarta and its surrounding for one hour, is equal to:

• Reduce 300 MWh of electricity usage (enough to rest 1 power plant and provide electricity to
900 villages)

• Save up the average electricity bills of Jakarta around Rp 200 million

• Reduce 284 tones of CO2

• Save more than 284 trees

• Produce clean air for more than 568 people

April penghabisan tahun ini

le 30 avril...Seminggu terakhir bulan April, i had this fucking seizure almost everyday...guess she miss me, huh?! but, c'on man, i start to really get sick about all of it (wait....I AM SICK, hahaha...)

Tuna Salad yang menunggunya. Dengan begonya, dia nggak dateng, sementara my biggest mistake was hoping to meet him there...and i just waited like a stupid big girl. I texted Sri and said: "my mistake Sri, i had a meeting with him and now i was alone, he didn't come...". Sri tried to cheer me up of course, but you know, just like Fergie said: big girls don't cry...

This is the latest pic of me, in the end of April 2008. I looked chubbier than before (like always) with that fake smile on my face...ohhh you just dont wanna see it, skip it, man! (though i know it's so hard to skip that irresistable smile-fake smile)

Conello attacked the refri at my office...about 40 Conellos sent for djakarta! crew...Guess, Conello spreads the love...

These are my new pills. I hate the color (lime, aqua and grey). And the grey one, it makes me feel wanna trow up about 12 hours after i swallow it..yeaakkk....plus, it coasts expensive!

Btw, on April 26th, Deka celebrated her birtday. I only gave her this cute littel cupcake. Wishing u all the best!

The deadline is on...still Ara and Nyoman smiled at their best. You go, girls! (Owh, Dini was at the back of Ara, She was sooo serious-hmm, writting her blog, Haha...)

This is design department. That handsome man with glasses and no hair is Didit, and that young messy hair look is Arief. Over back there is Elik's desk and Tiara's is the closest one but she wasn't there when i took this pic (that hot mama!).

And this is my desk, my corner. Posters evrywhere (including that Mike Shinoda, Chester Bennington, MJ-haha-, Amy Winehouse, my nephew, my niece, Linkin Park, the Concepts Poster etc. On my chair there's a round orange pillow from Sri, tq Sri!-it helps me alot when i get seizure attack).

The deadline situation, soooooo scary..............

The massage lazy chairs at House of OPI

Lunch with sandwiches...not again!

Watching the closing of Festival Sinema Prancis with Nyoman. We watched "Le Scaphandre et le papillon", great movie!

This weird face at Meet Liefde, Dutch Resto at Bogor!

Meet Liefde in front!

Bapak yang pegang tangannya jatuh di depan pintu kereta. Nobody helped him. I screamed like terrorist "Masya Allaaaaaaaaaaah, somebody help him!!!"...It worked!

More men stand up on april 21st...

More women sit at april 21st...it was Kartini Day!

Rainy Day On Monday always get me down...

Hujan, Deadline, dan East Timor

Pagi banget: bangun, minum obat. Males banget tapi ini hari deadline. Bangun deh, mandi pake air anget dan nggak sempet makan pagi. Untung roti unyil kebawa...phewwhh...
Selewat pagi dikit: gak ngojek (mahal bo') dan emang musti naik angkot juga secara ujan. The traffic was almost like hell, tapi gw gak telat sih.
Pagi dan mulai reda: Ternyata ketemuan Rien di stats dan naik pakuan jam 8 deh.

Di atas kereta yang bergerak: Ada sms masuk. "Ramos Horta ditembak, Timor Leste lagi tegang".
Gw langsung nengok dan panik sama Rien, maklum, she will leave Indonesia for Dili this week and will stay there for about 6 months. And this new situation will not a good thing to face by the time she arrives there. Kita langsung cari data dari BBC.CO.UK dari ponsel Rien. It was right! Horta was shotted, Xanana saved, guards killed, and the leader of the attack, Alfredo Reinado was also killed, shotted by president's guards. The war (civil war) is on the gate...Timor Leste faces a new problem.

Lewat pagi hingga sore: busy with deadline and misses another rendez-vous avec Deka and Opan. Shuuut!!!
