I loved autumn, and spring seems to flash by so quickly! It was just yesterday that the plum blossomed, now everything had turned into leafy green and red~

orfeo

Today I met a cool person >w< an Iraqi-Brazillian man named Orfeu, he's a proffessor in UPorto's Physics Engineering~

His name sounds weirdly familiar, I think he's someone fairly important..but I don't remember. As usual.

Anyway, I will send him an email and a text message , since I asked his contacts. But tomorrow morning, perhaps ><

Oh and I managed to borrow blender at my friend's house, now I can make the Manado fish soup of my mum that I love so much~ hope it goes well!

Homeworks and Messengers.

'Hey! What's up?'
'Nothing, I just woke up.'
'You went somewhere last night?'
'Yep, until 5. How about you, what did you do today?'
'(thinks) Homework.'
'And then?'
'Homework.'
'And? What else?'
'Homework.'
'How about tomorrow?'
'Homework.'

Me and my roomie, this afternoon while cooking lunch.
Ha. Goodbye, my weekend. These homeworks are almost as possesive as Jumin Han.

Come to think about it... about Mystic Messenger. I tried it and been wasting more than a week of my time, looking at the days counts. And I'm in progress of my second route right now. To conclude everything... I think that save for Jaehee, all the characters here are mentally unstable. Period.

I also don't get how is it that the characters make more sense when you play a route that is not theirs. When you go into one character's route, they seem to lose their common sense. Hmmnn.

Imma play more and maybe write a proper review.

Malu-maluin

The title basically means...being embarrassing,

Wherever and whatever I do... I keep on embarrassing myself, I suppose. =w=
Why on earth do I have to be so clumsy?
Lol lemme retell the tales for you.

Hmm. So, ever since I got here, I go to some dinners/lunches organized by Indonesians who live here. Never did I expect to find so many chances to taste Indonesian food with their spices and plain rice.
 It's truly a blessing to still be able to eat Indonesian food...which I never ate before.

Lolololol yeah, it's Indonesian food, but oft times they are not the foods I am familiar with. Maybe because we're all from different regions of Indonesia--but nevertheless I am thankful, and they always succeed to bring my appetite up all the same! Bless spices! Bless micin!! Bless sugar in food!!! Yahoo!

(Must I tell you that among 9 people who live in my house, I am the only one who has sugar? These Europeans...how can they live without sugar...)

And it's a very good opportunity because I meet many great people, who, due to the rarity of Indonesians, get along so close. I get the feeling that they'd barely notice me had we not meet here lol.

If only I could stop embarrassing myself in public.

First of all, I wish I could stop spilling things. I kinda look like a moron when I try to pour 5l water into a glass and poured twice the amount required instead. I'm sure the people who watched me got embarrassed as well, while I panic even more and try to clean it.

Mmm hmm. 

There's another one. One time, friends from home wanted to make vidcall just in the same schedule as an important meeting (and feast) to choose the new PPI (Perkumpulan Pelajar Indonesia) Portugal. And in the middle of the meeting my phone rang and I accidentally picked it up, panicking to answer and having the cat get my tongue while ruckuses can be heard from the speaker. T--T gosh....they laughed at me...

And there's one that is even worse.

So...one time, I was invited with the others to attend lunch with the Honorable General Comisary (Konjen Kehormatan) Portugal - Indonesia for Trades and Business. He was a very fun and intelligent man with quick wit and keen memory. We all talk about a lot of things, and I really do hope he remembered my name.

The thing is...in one of the conversation my offline geographical sense was revealed by me totally forgetting where Magelang is. Now, if you ever know the temple of Borobudur which was one of the world's seven wonders and is the biggest Buddha temple in the world--yep, it's in Magelang, Middle Java, Indonesia. Yet.....I....

''Umm....Magelang, wait, where is Magelang again... near Bromo Mountain?''

//dude, that's Malang.

I have no idea...is my pun sense so strong that I pun into oblivion...I must not give in and be controlled by puns....

A-anyway. I was panicking when everyone kinda, ''No, girl did u learn geography at all srsly'' and admitted that I am bad at remembering streets and roads as well, AS IF it was necessary to embarrass myself any further....

There's actually even more stories of me embarrassing myself, but...ung 

.....when will I ever have that cool image I always want in the mind of great colleagues... I wanted to perform networking.... I need it.... sobs sobs

W-well, anyway. But some nice things happened, too. I meet many people and I make so many friends I was quite surprised with myself. As usual I have a bad time managing it, haha, but, I think it's all well X3
And I became the Secretary and Treasurer of PPI! Tho I don't do much here. Oh well. It'd be good to have in my CV.  /slapped
>w</ hope I will continue to do better!!

See you in my next misadventures!

someone told me

''It's alright to let out your feelings, what you really think.
It's okay to reveal yourself. It's okay to get cheesy sometimes'

''Nah. This is enough for me''

i miss missing you

Have you ever feel like

you want to talk to Allah, but you can't since you're on your period?

I've been forgetting him a lot as of late, him and many others

and suddenly the fog lifted before me and I feel really guilty and sad and scared about it

but can do nothing.

Dear You,

I miss missing you.

Please forgive me... and remind me always. Aamiin.

a bee ran into a dragonfly

and they together created a new unique species. really, there's this dragonfly with wings in bees pattern at its and I just stared there while it flew swirling around me. i even took a picture (in my phone, i'll upload it in instagram maybe)

and also

something happened and how happy my mood became really puzzles me. what am i, a fool or something...

anyway again~ i'm entering this contest. just a reminder

 

the art is just so cute aagh I cannot resist ><

so imma make brass design or there charas

anyway I really miss some people but I dont wanna tell... as usual...

do they even remember me :< hmph.

i will ask, but if one doesn't want to tell, then i wont push it, no matter how curious i actually am. i will give a little opening, but if one doesn't want to know badly, well, i think it's better for them not to know--it's not like my story is something grand to know. with that logic i sit here sulking(?)

hahah not really XD

so yeah thats all the lastest news from me <3 p="">

see ya!

Kemaren

Jadi kemaren pengkaderan jurusanku akhirnya dimulai (singkat cerita). Belum seram, cuma berbaris dan curhat-curhat aja bersama angkatan Semut(nama angkatan seniornya).

Nah ada sedikit insiden ketika sesi sharing itu. Jadi singkat cerita(lagi), kami diminta ide satu-persatu tentang nama angkatan kami kelak, berupa nama binatang dalam bahasa Jawa. Nah aku disuruh ngomong duluan tiba-tiba waktu masih mikir.

Dan yang terlintas di pikiranku kebetulan adalah trenggiling.

"Trenggiling?"

"Iya trenggiling mbak."

"Trenggiling bukannya yang makan semut itu ya?"

....

AKU BARU SADAR YA AMPUN

"E-eh--"

"Wah dek kamu diam-diam..."

"Enggak mbak maksudku bukan--aa--"

yah begitulah intinya. Lalu aku merutuki kebodohanku sendiri sepanjang hari.

Ohya sorenya aku makan soto. Nah waktu mau bayar, aku obrak abrik tas buat cari dompet...

..dan malah ketemu lubang gede yang mlete.

Daan lalu aku jurit malam mengelilingi kampus, dan tentu saja dompetnya gak ketemu. Aku bahkan nggak tau kira2 jatuh dimana, dompet itu nggak aku buka sejak pagi.

Kirim ke puluhan grup line info embarassing, dsb dsb...

Untungnya ternyata ada di ruang kelas, dibawa salah satu temenku. Fyuuh.


Nah, dompetku ketemu, alhamdulillah.

Sekarang, suaraku yang hilang. =w=

((Eh tapi kemaren waktu aku nyanyi sendiri pada proses penghilangan suara, suaraku jadi kawak Valshe =7=~~~ yaudah sih.))

Sekian kekonyolan hari ini. Lama nggak konyol ya? Nggak juga kok, hahaha.

BTW BTW BTW AKU COLLAB UNTUK PERTAMA KALINYA LOOH LIAT DEH

INDAH BUKAAN


....kok postingan ini berasa postinganku pas jaman SD ya. GJ pol. Biarin deh.

Ciao!

Ketika Drama Awal Tahun Dimulai di Hidupmu

Dan kau melihat betapa alaynya segalanya,

betapa mbulet plot-twist nya,

dan berpikir,

wow, sinetron aja kalah kayaknya.

=w=+ mungkin suatu hari bisa jadi bahan bikin novel bestseller.

le kekonyolan sehari hari yang terlewatkan

skenario #1

Jadi saya punya teman, sebut saja bunga. Mawar. Mawar Putih. Jadi nama panjangnya Bunga Mawar Putih (samaran).
Si Mawar ini suatu hari pergi bersama saya ke pasar jumat (pasar yang cuma ada hari jumat) dan dengan polos dan jujur membeli sebungkus es cincau 2rb karena ketipisan dompet yang mengkhawatirkan.
Kami juga beli beberapa telur ubet-ubet dan duduk bersama makan. Nah tiba tiba waktu es cincaunya udah mau abis....

...ternyata di dalamnya ada ulat bulu.

Dan saya sempet nyoba 1 sruput.

.......fffffffffffff-----

skenario #2

X : ELAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA jepit mana jepit satu cepetaan
Me : Hah?? Dimana ada jepit?
X : Seingetku tadi aku mbawa banyak, ada dimana ini? Jangan jangan dibuat mainan, oh dasa-- eh, ternyata nyantol di bajuku ini. Hehe.
Me : .....

skenario #3

Suatu sore yang damai entah karena apa, mungkin karena iseng atau 1001 alasan lain, mamaku menelpon salah satu kontak hpnya di sebelahku dan tiba2 panik.
Ia mengaku lawan bicaranya ngomong bahasa arab, dan aku : 'hah? gak salah sambung?'
Konon ia sengaja menelepon kontak bernama 'Arabia', mengira itu nomer bapakku yang satunya.
Ternyata ia beneran nelpon ke Arab, entah siapa itu.
Si Arab bergumam sesuatu yang seperti pengusiran roh jahat dengan ayat kursy.
Dan pulsa yang baru diisi pun ludes ditelan api neraka.

skenario #4

*me and bapak lagi goncengan*
Me : *mikir*
Bpk : ....
Me : *inget excal dan suara godzilla nya*
Me : *senyum sendiri*
Me : ....
Me : Eeeeee----kk  (le tiba2 ngeluarin suara godzilla)
Bpk : *reflexs noleh mencari asal suara alien dengan bingung*
Me : *le sadar diri dan berpura2 sedang mencoba berdeham*

skenario #5

Me : *le telat kelas bahasa inggris* *bergumam maaf lalu bapaknya nunduk lalu duduk di deket temen*
Tmn : Darimana aja el?
Me : Macet td. Eh udah lama ta bapaknya?
Tmn :.... El kamu udh telat 1 jam lebih.
Me : HAH?!? Sekta, lak yo baru jam 11 lewat 10 se--
Tmn : Kan kita masuknya jam 10--
Me : A-apuah?? Bukannya kita masuknya jam sebelas??
Tmn : .... *stare unimpressed*
Me : Masya allah bero, tes listeninge piye bero? Matek aku bero, bero piye iki aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa---

(Si bro bilang listeningnya udah selesai, dan si Me panik.
Ternyata si Bro bohong dan cuma pengen nggudo karena kekuplakan Me. Me beringsut ke bangkunya dan menjadi satu dengan kursi kayu yang begitu elegan.
Untunglah si Bapak orangnya toleran.)

skenario #6

(dicatat berdasar ingatan samar samar tak terpercaya author mengenai ruang chat xentury)
Kojin : He reeek aku galau.
Kojin : Aku cocoke jurusan opo seh reek?
Ela~ #034 : Jurusan ilmu gaib jin.
Meme : Jurusan ilmu gaib jin.
Someone else : Jurusan ilmu gaib jin.
Kojin : -_-


.....

kayaknya ada lagi, tapi lupa.

Yah, begitulah kenangan awal masa-masa kuliah

btw saya lagi gila sama nih satu anak. mungkin akan membuat review anime nanti.

Happy Independence Day '69, Indonesia!

look, I made something for ya.

and something else...

Wish us peace and prosper!

Yeah, A New Post, Finally

I can't even pin my fingers on when was the last time I checked on this blog.

Was it really the writer's block intense pressure, or...?

I don't know. My life had taken a series of turns since then. Things came, things go. I weep, I let go. I frown, I smile. Nothing is constant, and life keeps giving you surprises and disappointment, but in the end I just gotta accept it all. We all do.

Me? I just have to look closely into the small crumples of flowers, the patterns formed between the falling leaves, the whispers slowly delivered by the calm evening wind as I close my eyes, enjoying the long ride home. I just have to feel the beauty, the magnificence of it all. How it all feel marvelous--how my problems seem to shrink before it.

And if that's not enough, I just gotta watch as my little sister laughed. My mother smiled, my father joked around with little children who once in a while would cross the road just before the door. I just have to see, and feel, and understand, that there's always so much things to be grateful about, so many things that clearly speak of the magnificence of life, and the beauty of everyday, and also... so many people that you should have not let pass, should not take for granted.

Love them back, cherish them as they would to you. Keep them safe, pray for their happiness.

And there would be nothing for you to complain about.

Bunkasai

So today I went to the Japanese World. It's a bunkasai (japanese-style festival)

Saw so many cosplays, and...there was even a Kuma!! *O*

.

..but I didn't get any picture with him. That's a real shame TT^TT
Couldn't help since so many ppl were surrounding him...poor little big Kuma...

And then we went to the obake house. The were 8 of us, Me, Ninis, Angga, Meme, Fadhlur, Adit, Taufiq and Lara. Since the rule was we must go in two by two or alone, at first we were going in couples of the same gender.

...but the gatekeeper wouldn't let two boys go together.

We did hompimpa/paper rock scissor to get boy-girl pairs (since there was no other way, if we love our money). I got Angga as pair--which I thought was lucky, since he's got an innocent expression all the time. I mean, he wouldn't be freaked out. I think.

So.
*nb: some of these dialogues are only said in my mind. you figure out which ones*

Before coming in.
Me : Aw yeah. I might be a bit of a scaredy cat but I'm sure I can handle it! And being scared would be embarassing, wouldn't it. IMMA BRAVE GIRL.

Inside.
Me : Ohmygod what's that... Please dont scream suddenly like that it's scary. and ANGGA WONT YOU MOVE FASTER. The old guy's laughing there! ......i am sorry I stepped on you foot. Keep going!!!
Angga : Calm down!

After out :
Me : HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That was too short!! I thought it was longer.
Angga : ...where's our cola?
Receptionist : Sorry, the bonus cola has ran out.

......okay I failed.

B-but the others....I bet they were scared too! (except Lara...she's the same kind as Angga).
And Meme cursed loudly inside that Taufiq forgot to prank the ghost.

Taufiq: (thinking) it's so dark...can't see a thing.
Ghost : BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Meme : JAMP*T!

XDD

And people's saying were...

Ninis : ....I wasn't scared...just surprised.
Adit : It's so dark, I can't see a thing.
Dlur : The ghost's costume..I bet they were quite good.
Adit : Yeah. That woman ghost was pretty, right??

And Lara.... she just put on that innocent smile.

Lara : That was quite surprising eh....

...and I went to the corner, regretting my life. Was I the only one that was scared?


...


And btw we went to the maid cafe. This time the maid was real.
...but the food's so pricey.

"It is a place that gives your money wings." -Fadhlur

Very true indeed.

Btw, lalat got accident T^T just a fingerbone broken but...too bad she couldnt join the bunkasai. Get well soon, my bestfriend!

...um maybe that's all for this post?

What about you? Something interesting happened? ^^

See you ^^

High School?

Seperti kata sahabatku : Kupikir yang namanya SMA itu adalah tempat yang dewasa.

Aku bisa mengontrol diri, belajar rajin, menjadi bijaksana. Ternyata?

Salah besar.

Lihat aja keadaan kelasku yang seringkali tak ubahnya anak SD campur pasien Menur yang nyasar ke pasar. (yah, pasar kan ada orang warasnya). Setiap hari adaa aja kehebohan yang terjadi. Mulai dari gosipan ala ibu-ibu Vicky yang kabarnya adalah lelaki, homoan anak-anak sekali-kali, teriakan maen PES bercampur soundtrack anime dan bunyi tembakan counterstrike serta musik korea yang ngebeat, skandal yang memancing perciean, guyonan absurd, tarian pramuka Fajry, suara giri FM, suara-suara gaib (eeeek, oook, tok tok tok, haw haw , suara lebah, dll), sampai kejadian bikin geger, contohnya cerita bahwa Vicky konon memiliki kelenjar susu. Dan tampaknya kami juga sama sekali mengabaikan fakta bahwa ruang sebelah adalah BK.

Aku yang kukira akan bertansformasi menjadi wanita remaja dewasa (wosos) ternyata sampai sekarang masih suka teriak2 geje, koleng di dalam kelas, berguyon absurd, nyanyi lagu anak-anak, dan ber lepra ria bareng Lolifa. Ohya, juga minum susu juara. Hng.

Dari yang saya lihat juga, sebagian besar anak kelas kami bener2 gila(bukan gila yang begituan tapi). Yah, sisanya cukup normal, tapi sedikit banyak udah kena virus gila.
Dan kami bertingkah layaknya keluarga seperkos-kosan. Atau rusun, mungkin. Lihat aja waktu AFA, dan bila ada anak yang bawa camilan enak di sekolah.

Yah, tapi...

Kalau nggak gitu, nggak seru, kan?

17-08-12 19-08-12

2 Great events are coming, and I guess you know what events :)


(1)

Tomorrow's Indonesian Independence Day!

67 Years had passed, how far have our country evolve? What have you done to contribute and make it evolve?

Well then,
Let's do our best together, and bring this nation to the glory it deserves :)

i'm also waiting for the annual independence day competitions held in the neighborhoods and schools

(2)

and also, Idul Fitri is coming.

So Ramadhan month is already ending, huh? It felt quite short, and it's quite a shame for this blissful month to end.

Anyway, since I think I won't be able to go online and say it on time, I'll say this now :

Minal Aidin wal Faidzin

(to all my moeslem fellows)

I am a human, and I'm surely full of flaws. So, forgive me, my friend, for my faults.


(( maybe that's all?))

Sincerely,

Lydia Angela
