Easy cheesy

Hi, Guys.
It's almost the end of March and I haven't made any progress with my new script. Man, back to office really means a lot of work, just realize that haha. The program is to write after working hour, at home. But the sweet rest and sitcoms in Youtube just distract me from typing new chapter. I am easily exhausted now (excuse). Wish I can spare energy starting April so I can finish my script before the bundle of joy arrives.
Anyway, just out of curiosity and a bit refreshing memory, and the mark of 7th printing, I read some comments about DIA. One point that I get is that it's an easy reading. That's true. Frankly, I haven't got any capacity yet (according to myself) to write something heavy or so meaningful or inspirational. Not yet to that point. I admit it. Perhaps one day.
I write an easy stuff because in one particular time of our life, which is full of challenges and daily routine that probably create stress and tiredness, I want to be able to sit back and relax and enjoy a simple stuff, like reading a light book. Smile a little bit, laugh a little bit. Just like a dose of warm beverage in the afternoon. Refreshing. At least for me... hehe.
But I really appreciate what you guys have commented and expressed about my book. A lesson learned.
By the way, I was told that in the end of April, my third book will be published. Will there be any difference from the previous books? Hm, let's see. I just want to say that I did my best. I just hope you will enjoy it.
See you, Guys.

Almost Seven

Hi, Guys.

If you see me now, you might not recognize me. I am BLOATING! It is so amazing to see the body expands to every direction. A little bit surprising and crazy, but feeling the bumps and kicks from inside is truly joyful. But, having swollen ankles sometimes very annoying.

Anyway, good news for this month is that we are having a new place to live, plus filling it with bunch of stuffs that exhaust the purse. Fun, yet having headache to cope with the expense. Such a rookie.

One thing that I learn from this process is that now I understand why moms like to do a survey to some stores just to find the "cheapest qualified" items. When you have limited budget, seeing quite different prices for the same items is challenging, especially when you have bought the more expensive ones. Regrets are painful indeed. I should have surveyed more... huff.

Oh yeah, and we already experience the real life of being conned. Some people really have the heart to trick someone else for their own interest. How dare! Being nice sometimes is not enough. We should be nice, but still aware and careful.

But, we learned the lesson. Do not get fooled, man. Be very cautious.

P.S. Dia is now in 7th printing. Alhamdulillah...

Sixty six and counting

Guten Tag.

February has come. Valentine day is approaching, but that's not what I am looking forward to. I am waiting for 11 February where I can see my precious one on the screen. Since few weeks ago it has been demonstrating active gestures, which are getting stronger each day. Really love that moments.

Anyway, I am gaining more and more weight. That "slim" body was just a memory now. I wonder when I can fit into those clothes anymore. I don't think it's going to be soon. No problem, I'll catch up.

At least I have a will not to be too overweight. I walk every morning to my office, for vitamin D and a little bit of sweat. Well, actually it's not merely because I need to exercise, but part of it because I can't cross the street to get to the angkot! This particular street in the rush hour is just like never ending marathon. And motorcyclists even use the pavement for their new road. Outrages. It's so much different with the situation in Goettingen, where bicyclists and pedestrian have their own path and privilege to be respected. When oh when my country will come to that level...

Dreaming.

Four and a half

Good afternoon.

What can I say about my new routine. It's new and exciting, yet challenging.

I have to make sure that I get all the nutrition I need, provide brain exercise, and keep my balance. Selfishness should be gone by now.

Anyway, I like reading stories in the afternoon and a little music in the morning. I don't know whether "Price Tag" and "Lazy" would make a wonderful choice, but it sure is a nice song to dance with. About the Mozart thing and such...hmm...perhaps later on.

A bit "internal bumpy feeling" here and there is beginning to exist. Curious and curious.

Well, other good news is in April my third novel will be published by GagasMedia... yippee!

Can't wait to get the cover design.

Hm, I should start to write again for the next one. Ganbatte ne!

Day One

First day at work. Still a bit awkward. Almost get in to the wrong office. Twice.

Happy New Year!

2012 is here. How's your last night? Merry?

I couldn't sleep. Not that I celebrate new year's eve somewhere until dawn. It's just difficult to close your eyes when the fireworks, traffic and horns were that loud, especially when you live near big four junction. Oh yeah, last night was heaven. Kidding.

You know what, as far as I remember, I never celebrate new year's eve, at all. Somehow I don't get the point of celebrating it. Yeah, so it's the beginning of new era, so what? I need to get some sleep.

I am no fun, huh? Hehehe... Well, everyone has different preference, so I guess it's okay to light fireworks, blow the horns, march on the street, but also is fine just to stay at home.

Hm, that reminds me of something. What kind of day that I celebrate then? Birthday? Not so much. Graduation? Not really. Achievement? I couldn't really remember. I think we, my family, are the kind of mild personality type. Not too excited, yet not too dramatic, but always grateful.

Anyway, I hope you all have a wonderful year ahead. Lots of happiness and achievements. And when we experience low tides, just hang in there and be strong. Get up and keep on moving forward. Ganbatte ne! Semangaaaaaaaaaaaaat....!

P.S. The fourth month will be my 3rd novel launching, hopefully. Wish me luck!

K-Popped

Hi, Guys. How are you? Long time no see, huh?

Well, I am hibernating.

Hey, you know what. Just see the K-Pop fever... Man, it's really something.

I saw those Korean girlbands and boybands, and honestly, I can't tell the difference.

They look the same. Amazing, huh?

Same faces, same styles, same performances. I bet if one of them is sick and other member of other group replaces her/him, I will not notice.

Or is it perhaps I am not teenager anymore that I find this phenomenon is a little bit boring.

Hehehe.. sorry, K-Pop lovers, I mean no harm. Peace!

And the wave of the impact for Indonesian music industry, is also unbelievable.

I am okay with more girlbands or boybands. But please...please...no lip-sync. It's killing me. Really.

Once again, peace, man, peace!
