Sex and The City on the theater. Hm, I guess it will be very nice choice before ending my single life. I imagine hanging out with my girl friends and watching this movie. Indoubtedly will be very hillarious.
Anyone would join me?

The first time I know about her, when reading an news about a movie” Perempuan Punya Cerita”, from where I knew that she’s one of the story writer. As commoner, I know that writing a script for a film isn’t easy. Moreover, the movie was entitled two thumbs up. Ever since, the name of Melissa Karim’s imprinted in my mind. No doubt, she’s smart
Then, when my friend Wimar told me that he’s about to appear again in TV, with his Perspektif Wimar, the name of Melissa Karim was on the air again. She was one of the co-host candidate who would accompany WW in his show. Straightly I told to Wimar that I supported Melissa to be one of the co-host. She’s smart, I said to him. Then Wimar said, let the people choose.
After being appeared in TV, finally watchers picked only 3 co-host to accompany Wimar (the selection was via SMS). One of them is Melissa. I think, Melissa’d performance is very natural. Her comment is a litle bit naught. Bravo Melissa!! Now I become a friend of her in Facebook:D.
I told Wimar if he could arrange a date for three of us. Unfortunately, on the last time I met Wimar, I couldn’t meet Melissa. But I still urge him to introduce me with Melissa:)).
Now, Melissa is active in Kalyana Shira Foundation, a non-profit organization which concerns with the marginalized, such as women and children. A way to go Melissa:)

This morning, I sent a message to Wipi who just returned from her honeymoon. I reminded her that she had to turn my suitcases, which she borrowed for taking her stuffs to her new house. There are two suitcases with her, the small and the bigger one. Many times I urged her that I had to have my suitcase back before 12 April 2008 because I will be on business trip for a week. It means, I need a bigger suitcase to load all of my stuff. Moreover, the trip this time will be more lengthy.
Surprisingly, I received unexpected answer from her. She said she forgot that I would take my suitcase. Meanwhile, at the time I messaged her, she was in her way to Jogja with Arief. Even worse, she brought her apartment key with her and therefore I couldn’t access her apartment to take my suitcases.
Then, she offered an alternative. She asked me to buy a new suitcase which in return will be paid by her. I agreed and I planned to go to Centro for buying the new suitcase. Another message from her then came along. “Please don’t buy the expensive one, if possible get the discounted”. Hahahaa, I guess she’s already all out for her marriage and should tighten her expense, especially post-wedding life.
Okay, I get the lesson-learned. Be wise of my money and please don’t be too much with the wedding party:D

Seeing them stepping down from car, entering the building and walking on the red carpet, I couldn’t stand my emotion. I was mixed up and finally I felt my eyes watery. Then when she walked in front me, I heard She said:
Thea, don’t cry
I was so touching seeing my best friend finally had what she’s been waiting for. And definitely very glad to be her company in her wedding.
Congratulation Dear:)

Within two weeks ahead, my best friend, Wipi, is going to marry with Arief. Arief is also my friend at college. I just don’t realize that the marriage is getting closer and closer. One of my best friend will soon say good bye to the single life.
Last year I had Yanti and Titi left us alone in single-happy-woman world. One year before Yanti and Titi, Mira got marry at Denpasar, which unfortunately I couldn’t be there witnessing their long-life promise.
Last week, I met several friends at Mayang and Janu’s wedding in Solo. Unexpectedly, many friends were there. Even Ester Dina, who’s currently working at Banda Aceh, was there. Life is changing. Post-college life gives another color to us. It’s really prominent. Some of them gain weight and others remain same or even slimmer. The conversation was around job and working life. No more conversation about cold war, diplomacy, economy and politic in Japan, and many more. We left those topics and now are facing job-related issues.
It has been two or three years ago, we had a lovely life at college. Now, we are working, though some of us are still strugling with thesis. Sometimes, I missed to be around them, to be in environment used to be near with me. Last occasion really brought me many memories. Next month, on the early week of April, I will take my friends walking through the aisle to reach their future life. I wish you all happiness, Sista:)

People of Okinawa and Sarnidia are known to have a healthy long life-span. It’s not only because they apply healthy habits such as consuming more fish and soybean than the average, exercising regularly and sufficient rest. Based on the article I read on kompas.co.id this morning, those group of people also have a very lovely culture, accordingly respecting elders. The feeling of having sufficient love, warm spirit, as well as a close friendship do have great impact over our healthy quality and wealthy.
The proofs of touching impact have been revealed by experts. Not to mention the benefit of laughter and social involvement toward the one’s healthy. All of them shows that the good interaction and relation with others are decisive in our healthy.
A research reveals that husband and wife, who receive enough hold and touch within their relation, have a stronger emotional binding than those who receive less. It’s also said that a child who rarely gets hug from parents feels less secure compared to children who get the sufficient affection expression from parents. Meanwhile, feeling secure is very important to the children personality development.
If one often has headache, migraine, insomnia and likes to see other disappointed and failed, maybe he/she doesn’t have enough love, rarely loves him/herself, and rarely get attention from her/his couple.
So, do you love yourself? Have you said that you love your friends? Have you given the warmth to your couple??? Better to start it right away because the power of love is exceptional.

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with purpose of showing him how poor people live.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.
On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, ‘How was the trip?’
‘It was great, Dad.’
‘Did you see how poor people live?’ the father asked.
‘Oh yeah,’ said the son.
‘So, tell me, what did you learn from the trip?’ asked the father.
The son answered:
‘I saw that we have one dog and they have four.
We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek that has no end.
We have lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night.
Our patio reaches to the front yard and they have the whole horizon.
We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight.
We have servants who serve us, but they serve others.
We buy our food, but they grow theirs.
We have walls around our property to protect us, they have friends to protect them.’
The boy’s father was speechless.
Then his son added, ‘Thanks Dad for showing me how poor we are.’
Isn’t this perspective a wonderful thing? Makes you wonder what would happen if we all give thanks for everything we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t have.
Appreciate every single thing you have, especially your friends!
‘Life is too short and friends are too few.’

I couldn’t belive what I saw at that time. All I expected ruined at once. Suddenly, I bursted into tears. I was failed. The things I endeavored seemed nothing. Useless. The question was” Should I apply again three years later?” When my age would be 25 years old.
I know how it feels when it’s failed, Sist. But as you know, there will be many things we’ll get in return. Maybe it’s obscured now by our reluctant feeling about the saddening result we get. I will support you and pray for you. Why? Because I know a talented with exceptional skills like you deserve great things. Why not trying again later? I am sure you can!!! Rin, you must be proud of quality you have. Don’t let this failure discourage you. Instead, use this to empower yourself!
Don’t loose hope and faith. I wish the best for you.
ps: for Nora, my sister. I just can’t believe that you’ll leave me this fast, leaving me alone in this city. Hiks..you’re one of the reason why I feel comfortable living here. And pretty soon, Australia will be next country to stay. And one more, you’ll get the master degree faster than me:). I am more than happy for you.

Upppp..checking my blog this morning and found out from my friend, Utami, that She passed an award from me. The award’s entitled Nice Matter Award.
Intrigued by the award, then I clicked her blog and read it, trying to find out why I deserve the award. This what she wrote in her blog:
Karena isi blog Thea is always nice and positive. Hal-hal yang mungkin keliatannya kecil, tapi menyenangkan. From her writing, it seems that she really understand that life is built of nice little things. Even big things made of little things. So, Thea, keep your positive attitude, and keep shining yaa……
Uuugghh…I feel as If I were flying to the seventh sky..hahaha. Thank you anyway Kak Ami:)
Then another task for me is passing this award to another friend. Hhhmmm a little bit difficult I admit. From my point of view, the blogs by friends of mine all are good. Each of them has uniqueness. They write the blog in different style of writing. The topic discussed vary and I like them all. However, coz I can pass this award only to one friend, the i decide this award should go to Okky.
Why Okky??? Because her blog is very interesting where she peels the humanity wittily. I love her writing about polygamy where she links the matter of polygamy and a piece of fried chicken. Curious??? Just check her blog.
Okay Ky…your turn to pass the award and I always look forward to your other writings.
