ketika bermalam di cawang.....

Rasanya beda dari yg gua tau dulu.
Sleeping in my old room, not as comfy as the old time.
Maybe this is rasanya leave the old nest and build my own new nest ya?
Not saying cawang is bad.
Cuma udah ga terbiasa aja.
Keadaannya, bisingnya suara kendaraan bermotor, ruangan2 yang rasanya kurang familiar.
Udaranya, warna cahaya lampu. Semuanya beda.
I can't find me here.
I love my new nest, yg bentar lagi akan ditinggalin.
Baru ngerasa "this is home; my, our home"....ehh harus pergi.
Sempet kecewa. Sedih udah pasti.

And jujur aja, I can't say bali is home just yet.
Waktu si suami otaknya lagi lempeeeng banget dia pernah bilang, "this is for a better life, for our family. Our life."
Iya juga sih kalo dipikir2.

It aint easy to say good bye. Aint!
:(

people!!!!

Heran deh orang orang.
Pada kehebohan demo obama...
Duileh!
Kurang kerjaan.
denger dulu, liat dulu baru komentar.
Lah ini...belom juga ada apa2, uda teriak2 sana sini...
Buset deh...

Oh mobil stream udah laku...
So fast. Seriously fast. Maybe its just time.

Setrikaan belom digosok nih
Udah second batch...hihui...
Bodo ah tugas sang suami...hihi

Excited about the coming family trip.
Walopun itu artinya menguras kantong...
Ahahaha...mungkin krn gua pengen liat si mitsoy aja kali ya...

Pengen punya a good sunglasses, just like my ralph lauren sunglasses...
Awet....since 2002, sampe sekarang masih bagus...
Mau beli ahh...

Mau ice cream...kenapa ya?akhir2 ini mau ice cream terus...
Oh well...

a tribute buat si kecil

kecil...
berbulu...

nakal sih engga...
galak juga engga...

manja banget
ga mau turun naek tangga sendiri
padahal bisa, tapi manja....

takut gendong dia, bukan karena dia galak
tapi takut nyakitin dia....
soalnya gua ga tau pasti kaki yang sakit itu yang mana
....pernah coba gendong...tiba2 tereak, "nggeeeeekkk"
lah, salah cara gendongnya....
dimarahin dah gua....

waktu baru dateng bisa duduk ditelapak tangan gua
warnanya item. lucuuuuuuu banget....

dari kecil udah doyan buah...
inget banget, dia pernah jilatin jus alpukat di gelas plastik sampe kepalanya masuk dan mukanya blepotan jus alpuket...ahauehauehae....

iseng banget sama piko, suka humping semena mena....hihihihiii....

terakhir gua liat, just last month.
udah tua, warnanya udah abu abu pudar agak kecoklat-coklatan
waktu itu ngintilin gua ke kantornya si papi, duduk dibawah kaki gua...
seinget gua, dia ga pernah ngintilin gua....tapi hari itu dia ngintilin gua...mungkin karena ga ada orang kali ya?
sempet gua foto foto dan unyeng unyeng...i am so glad sempet unyeng-unyeng dia...

si kecil yang cempreng,
sekarang kamu udah ga di buaran lagi....
udah diatas sana...
gak sakit lagi, ga muntah lagi, ga batuk lagi...
baik baik ya disana....

you holds a special place in my heart, just like piko...
always....

the L town

have you ever really (REALLY, REALLY, REALLYYYYY) wanna go somewhere, you know you just have to go??
for me it's London. It's calling me....again and again!

i know i have to set my priorities right and it's one of mine!

every time i saw or read something about it, my heart itch (lebay ye?hahauehea). just have to go there!!

something about it really struck me.
and people says, "there's internet, there's google map. you dont have to go there to be there"
aahh...gak bisa!it's totally different. liat dari internet and being there physically. i need to be able to breath UK's air. my nostril and lungs need to feel the cold wet air. i want to touch the old modern buildings. i wanna ride the underground, the red double decker bus, the london eye.

katanya sih mahal kesana....tapi teteeepp....gua harus pergi....

have to go there. somehow. someday.

Been a while...

Pengen ice cream.
Blizzard Oreo to be exact. Somehow I like it lately.

Ngantuk. Cape banget.
Tadi yoga. Seru deh.
Nanti kalo jadi pindah yoga gua gimana ya??

Ngantuk ngantuk ngantuk

here, there, and everywhere

lagi berlabuh di rumah nyokap for 4 days, secara ditinggalin ama suami.

2010 already!
cepet sekali.

baru awal taun, tapi udah dihadapi dengan pilihan yang sangaaaaatt sulit.
masih mikir sih.
ahahahahaha....

ah ga mood nulis ah....
pengen nontonnnnn....gggrrrrr....

a note at the end of the day

Catch cold since last Thursday.

Ingus is gone, batuk still here.

Kuping pengeng banget.

Searched in the internet and i'm pretty sure i have blocked Eustachian tube. a bad one.

Tried everything on how to treat it, but nothing works!

Going to see the doctor tomorrow. :(

Need to get better sooooon.

I have plans already. and lots of it!

the husband been very nice and nurturing for the past few days. Thank you :)

(almost) closing time....

the curtain is finally falling.
thank you so much for your help through out the years.

what i wrote for my-soon-ex-colleagues today.

"Crazy how time flies ya......
Still remember clearly my interview day with Bo Le in November 2007. It was one of the most interesting interview I've ever had.

As you guys know today is my last day working with Bo Le Associates. It is been a hard decision to leave the company but I realized that it is the right time to put a step on my dream (and not becoming a thai thai, I see it as a bonus...hehehe)

It has been a pleasure to work here, but more than that - it has been the privilege to have met and mixed with the people. I guess in the early days we didn’t have any choice but to get along, especially when you have a dozen people jammed into a single portable.
I have enjoyed my time here, and I will miss all that this place represents. As with any special place it is the people who make it and it will be those I will miss the most. Even though we are moving to new horizons in different directions, we will always have our memories of this place.

I won't mention anyone in particular, as it will take way too long, and my fingers are getting tired!
I would like to thank you for all your support, insights, and help you have provided me for the past 2 years.

I am sure reunions and catch-ups will, if not often, be full of laughs and good times, so if anyone feels the urge to contact me, here are my details:
Phone : 0813 1628 4445
Email: marini.hendarmin@gmail.com
And of course Facebook. :P

Goodbye for now, good luck and you never know, see you later!
Marini Hendarmin."

it's a bitter sweet feeling.
i am glad that i am out. on the other hand, i will miss the people here.
i am glad in so many ways - that finally i will put a step on my dream.

Adios people. will miss you all...........

long random post

2 hari lagi.
dan out...!

bitter sweet kinda feeling.

but di kantor kayanya more to bitter this week.
orang-orang lagi stress......

sleepy. wants nap today. hehehe

pengen ke bandung.
cari macem-macem. dari pigura, dasi buat bokap and able, kripik setan, lapo, dan tak lupa baju untuk diriku sendiri....
ahauehuae....

haven't really pack my stuff. haha.
nanti deh abis ini.

lagi ngopi nih. ngantuk skali.
wow...just get my energy back...awesome!
love coffee and ternyata orang hamil pun boleh ngopi.
hore!

nanti malem meeting. should be fun also. yeay!
trus ape lagi ya?
oh undangan is underway.
semoga we have enough time to send all of them.

it's less than a month and i single no more.
aih....cepet amat.
perasaan baru kemaren masih berantem-berantem defense keluarga masing masing.
kayanya proses persiapan ini lancar lancar aja. ga ada hambatan yg berarti, kecuali yg di awal awal itu.
other than that, we are great.

mendadak kayanya active banget otak gua. heheheh...
jumping from one thought to another.
tuing tuing...hihihi

i want candy!

pengen mani and pedi nih...kukunya udah pada jelek.
well, kukunya sih oke. tapi kutikelnya sangat mengganggu.
and a bit nyandu meni and pedi already. haduh...*tepok2 jidat*

rambut udah panjang banget niiiihhh...
abis 15 nov im so going to chop my hair off!
and oh excited of the trips we are gonna have in the coming week and months. :)

OH!
I'm wanna say a HUGE thank YOU to my super awesome Lord.
FOR EVERYTHING. EVERY SINGLE TINY things im my life.
can't mention one by one, but He bless me abudantly (read: ABUDANTLYYYYY)
and for that.....terima kasih.... :)

sometimes i wonder....why didnt i feel nervous like the others?
but one thing for sure, i have no doubt - that this is my path. and he's the one God sent me as my partner in this journey.
as we proceed through the preparation, my faith grew stronger. somehow :)
i know this journey is not all about candy, rainbow, and bed of roses (...and dont mind if it is tho...heheh).
i am well aware that this journey is about love and commitment.
im sure the journey is not gonna be easy. there'll be bumpy roads, rocky stages, and ugly moments which might turn us crazy (or crazier...hehe).
he can be the biggest j*ck*ss and i can be the biggest a b*tch...but it just us.
and as time goes by....i pray in God's name that we are getting stronger and wiser as a couple and an individual (giant amen!)

twenty seven hours to go

it's twenty seven hours to go...
...until i fly from this thing called the office...
....and be on my own....

can't wait, if you ask me.

not sure what would happen in the future.
but im sure im done here.

lately the office is kinda stiff.
stress out i think.

ngantuk.

one month and random post

today is exactly one month before the big day.
and just realized this morning.
hehehe....

crazy how time flies ya?
tsk tsk tsk....

pray pray pray so the final preparation going smooth and the d-day will be smooth....
but pray pray pray pray pray super hard so that the married life will be a great blessing for us and others :)
amen.

starts to realized even more that my decision to leave the company is soOOOooo right.
i am glad. i am more than glad. :)
i dont think i can (well, i want to) handle the pressure anymore.
2 years is more than enough.

getting more and more sure that handling my own finances is my real passion.
working hard for me, not for the company. i (ME, not the company) will enjoy the hard work (MONEY).

on other notes, my eyes getting blurry. i need to check them up soon.
after oct 23 i can do it lah.
so busy after the 23rd.

haiyoh. its getting closer. more money needed. (prayiiiiiiiinnnnggg)

suntuk

out of the blue.
slow but sure.
gua suntuk.
very upset.
not sure why.
feeling like ice cream, tapi ga bisa juga.
hmmm...
really wants ice cream and chillis at the moment.
damn

went to bali

went to bali last weekend for n&n's wedding.
regardless, all the hassles it was a great wedding. at least the bride and groom were happy. thats the most important thing.

i had fun.
i had lots of laugh.
i love bali. it was super hot, but i love it.
i love the fact that people wont stare for whatever im wearing or do.
hehehehe....

BUT!

i dont like kuta beach anymore.
too many abang2 iseng disana.
next time i go to bali, im pretty sure i'd pass kuta.

seminyak is my next destination. also, dreamland and ubud.
hmmm...kapan ya ke bali lagi?hihihihi

rain drops

rain drops.
rain drops.
rain drops.
rain drops.

love watching the rain drop.
it makes my heart warm somehow.
it makes my eyes heavy.
it makes my mind running through time.

i don't know what's with me and the rain drops.
think i'm falling in love all over again with it. :)

wish i'm in the apartment now.
with big glass windows. or just standing in the balcony watching rain drops with a cup of hot coffee in my hand. and mungkin a great book.
all alone.....man...that's heaven for me. :)
