The Romantics

So, yesterday I just saw The Romantics. It was a great movie actually, plus, you get to see Josh Duhamel, Adam Brody and Elijah Wood all in one row. Now that's what we call an actual refreshment. Haha. So, basically it was about 7 bestfriends who called themselves 'The Romantics'. Years after college graduation, now all the seven Romantics reunite for the wedding of two of their bestfriends. Problems arise because the bride (Anna Paquin) and one of the maid of honor (Katie Holmes) have had a long rivalry over the groom (Josh Duhamel). While the groom himself cannot really decide which one's best for her. Like he needs Lila when actually he's in love with Lo.

This movie sticks quite hard it my mind for it really captured fragments of the life happens in around us. First, I dont know why marriage has been some kind of obsession for girls this day. It's like a race. Like one by one your friends start to tied the knot and then the question 'when it is my turn' come haunting you every night. Now girls, note this. Marriage, isn't always means he loves you that much. It's just a form of comfort zone. Not for all people of course, but much of them yes.

And i've never seen a movie which picture what happens inside a men's heads so perfectly like this movie. See, I've always thought men really have no idea what they really wanted and they keep changing ther minds and they don't wanna lose all what they've got which sometimes made them push themselves to have everything, doesn't matter if it will hurting everyone around them. It's just they're so clueless about priority of their lives and I see this inside the groom, the Josh Duhamel groom. He's in love too deep with Lo, so deep until he's scared that Lo could do anything for him it freaks him out. He's scared that Lo wouldn't pay much attention and he'll just accept it because he love her. He's scared of Lo because Lo made him too happy until it didn't feel real and it freaks him out.

While on the other side, Lila is so loving, so caring and she takes care of everything. She keeps her cool while everyone's losing their heads. She's an angel. And she makes him feel, SAFE. SAFE. only safe. He doesn't even sure if he really loves Lila.

So, girls. Note to self:
Marriage isn't always means happiness.
Marriage isn't always means he loves you so much.
Marriage isn't always means a better future.

So stop making it as a race. And stop thinking of it as a race. And stop let it blinds you. And good luck with all of that.

Duarrr!!

Boyfriend took it for meeeeeehhhh :D

HALO! :D

Maaf ya blog ini sempat berubah jadi tong sampah nggak penting. Sementara sisanya saya nggak ada waktu untuk update apa-apa, karena nggak ada yang penting juga. Tapi sekarang ada yang lumayan mau diceritakan. Siapa tau bisa menjadi inspirasi bagi teman-teman yang masih mengejar mimpi. ehem. you know who you are. hahaha.

So, as we all know, pertengahan Januari lalu saya memutuskan untuk resign dari kerjaan lama saya. Sebuah langkah lumayan berat, karena saya harus gambling habis-habisan. Keluar dari sebuah perusahaan media terbesar di Indonesia dengan starter gaji yang LUMAYAN BANGET. Alasannya? Simple kok. Ini bukan yang saya mau. Hal yang banyak sekali disayangkan orang-orang. Dan banyak yang mengajukan pertanyaan yang saya kurang suka, "Kenapa nggak minta pindah ke redaksi aja?" Man, you think I'm a fool? Kalau memang ada celah, untuk apa saya menunggu sampai 7 bulan dan sampai benar-benar muak? Padahal saya sedih lho meninggalkan teman-teman saya di kantor itu. Yang walaupun hanya 7 bulan, tapi semua baik-baik :) But, I have to. Karena lama-kelamaan masuk kantor makin terasa seperti mimpi buruk dan saya tahu ada hal yang saya cinta menunggu di luar sana.

Alhamdulillah, hanya seminggu menganggur saya diterima jadi editor online. Hahaha a 23 years old editor. Not bad lah yaa.. Lucunya, pekerjaan ini berawal dengan tidak baik. Setelah saya ngotot nggak mau ditempatkan di online lagi, kantor pun ngotot hanya ada posisi di online untuk saya. Akhirnya saya kalah dalam bargaining process dan dengan berat hati menerima kerjaan ini hanya atas nama saya nggak bisa nganggur lama-lama. Ditambah gaji saya turun dari LUMAYAN jadi UNDER LUMAYAN. Ditambah saya nggak terlalu nyambung sama lingkungannya yang g4oL 9e3Laaaa. Ditambah saya masih pengen jadi the real wartawan, wartawan politik, wartawan harian. Sampai masalah rute kendaraan ke kantor yang ribet and so on and so on yang kemudian membuat saya sempat menangis, beberapa hari sebelum mulai bekerja.

Begitu masuk....

Ternyata...

I've never been this happier. And this is what I really want. :)

Saya mendapat kesempatan meng-interview orang-orang yang saya kagumi, kenal langsung sama mereka. Setiap hari kerjaan saya ya menulis. Bebas. Apapun yang saya suka. Sebagai editor saya bahkan bisa menyalurkan keinginan-keinginan saya, konsep-konsep yang ada di kepala saya. Saya bisa nonton Java Jazz, Duncan Sheik, gratisan karena harus liputan. Saya ketemu wartawan-wartawan lain setiap media gathering. Saya ketemu banyak orang tanpa harus berjualan and pretending to be someone that i'm not. Saya nggak harus update score sepakbola terbaru and somehow that's such a big relief for myself. Ada kelegaan tersendiri lepas dari sesuatu yang saya bener-bener nggak suka. Nggak masalah pendapatan saya UNDER LUMAYAN, karena saya bisa masuk dan pulang kantor sesuka jiwa, stress-free kinda job. Semua teman-teman kantor seusia dan nggak ada satupun yang bossy, yang ada semua 'ngajak' biar kerjaan kita sebagai satu grup Natamedia sama-sama terlihat bagus dimata orang luar.

Pelan-pelan saya merasakan mimpi utama saya jadi jurnalis harian aka jurnalis koran terkikis dengan sendirinya, because I love my job too much. Memang nggak ada cerita nginep di kantor, fuck that, who wants to anyway? I don't live for work, I live for life itself. Memang saya nggak bisa wawancara tokoh-tokoh politik idola, ah interview seniman dan pengusaha cupcakes juga seru dan jauh dari menegangkan kok. Lagipula, teman-teman saya yang tau banyak soal politik juga belum tentu tau banyak tentang berita lifestyle yang saya tulis kok.

Jadi, tidak ada yang tidak bisa disyukuri dari hidup saya saat ini. Dan semakin menyadari ungkapan 'God knows best' itu memang benar adanya.

So, everything's been great :)

my small team at the Java Jazz Festival 2011. Did you see the ID? Yay! I'm a lifestyle journalist! ;)

2011.

First meal of 2011 : Macaroni Schotle. :)

Plus, boyfriend said it was good.

success! :D

one of my friend said, that I am scared of you. You know I bark like a dog, continuously. But you, you're as thin as paper and as fragile as a jar. And that's what makes me scared. If I'm mad at you, I'll roar but it'll gone in no time. Black and white is my emotion. But you, when you're mad. silent is all you have to give, and when you can't take it anymore, you say you're thought in a trembling voice. And when you're voice's trembling, I know you're mad. Mad as hell. And I am scared as fuck. Because only God knows what you'll do. Hiding in your cave until you're ready, or you just madly going through everything like there's nothing happen, but there's just anger inside.

I can't go home early, my job's makes me even more busy than I've ever been. And I'm scared. I'm scared of what you'll do.

Time... come on! I need more time!

2011 changing.

Just a quick post because I cant barely stick my ass to this chair.. busy busy busy but I don't want to quit blogging.

- Right after the new year party, I made my 2011 resolution come true. I cooked! A macaroni schotel. Never thought it's soooo easy to make. Well, my Mom said it tastes good. My boyfriend said it tastes good. My bestfriend said, there's too much onion. Too bad I loveeeeee onion too much to give up on this. But overall she said it's quite good. So, it's a success! Maybe I should try to cook at least once in a month. Yeah, right.

- Moving out to BOLA section. For the last three months, I forced my ass to work as account executive in Bolanews.com. As a new and segmented media, it's quite hard to find a potential client. Beside, Indonesians still not fully aware about the advantages of online advertising. But, start from this year, I've been rolled to Tabloid BOLA. It's a new thing for me since I'm not a big footballers fan but I love this job because I get to be busy. But i'm sooo busy until I have to give up blogging. and I still don't know how to balancing my work, my hobby and my social life. I can barely look at my phone!

damn! I have to go. I am not done yet... :((
