Apa yang dilakukan sepotong Pear (atau kalo boleh disebut, sebongkah) di Dante?
Senin, 18 Mei 2009, pagiku dimulai dengan mengajar Komputer 2 (yang menekan jiwa, akibat 1 orang di kelas yang entah mengapa, mencerna apa yang aku katakan dengan kecepatan prosesor pentium jaman nenek nenek naek skateboard). Dilanjutkan asistensi DKV4 yang ternyata hanya dihadiri oleh 2 orang. lumayan lah, bisa pulang lebih cepet dari perkiraan.

Posting kali ini, diketik langsung dari Dante TP, tepat di tengah ramainya lalu lalang para pejalan kaki (ini di Dante apa trotoar?). Terdampar --atau kalo boleh disebut mendamparkan diri-- di Dante, niat hati ingin menyelesaikan pekerjaan yang masih tertunda. 2 tasks, logo and uniform, 2 different clients. Logo sih bukan masalah besar...tapi seragam?dan mesti diasistensikan hari rabu?oh no, kite kite gak punya bayangan sama sekali!! dan kembali, pertanyaan yang beredar adalah :
1. "Aku gak punya bayangan sama sekali lo seragamnya mau dibuat apa?" -- Upang
2. "Aku kok masih lapar ya?" -- Novi (ini yang paling gak nyambung dan paling gak tau diri)

Iya saudara-saudara, beberapa hari belakangan ini entah mengapa aku selalu kelaparan...gak kenal siang apa malam, kapanpun dimanapun, selalu lapar...menurut Upang : "kamu lagi masa pertumbuhan"
ha ha ha...badanku sudah segini, jgn dibiarkan tumbuh lagi...tapi aku masih mau kalo bagian lainnya tumbuh -- rambut maksudnya
the funny thing is, perut ini mendadak beribah jadi kolong tak berdasar tepat 1 hari sesudah saya memutuskan diet! maknyus! niat diet apa niat masuk MURI sebagai orang gendut terlapar?

btw, gimana kabarnya seragam yang harus dibuat?
naaah, ada kabar gembira...tiba2 datang sebuah SMS...yang isinya kurang lebih mengatakan bahwa desain seragamnya diundur sampe senin depan...huahuahuahuahahahaha...GAPAPA!!SAMPE KETEMU SENIN DEPAN YA!! :D

sebongkah pear (yang menyerupai tubuh yang posting)

Jadi, beberapa waktu lalu, oleh sahabat baik saya, Upang, dikasih sebuah artikel di Internet mengenai makanan yang sebaiknya dikonsumsi karena baik untuk tubuh dan tidak mengandung kalori. (linknya mana?nanti dimintain) dan mataku terhenti di sebuah artikel mengenai bentuk tubuh yang berpotensi mengandung penyakit. Jadi, sebenarnya ada beberapa kategori gendut yang sehat dan yang tidak.
kita langsung ngebahas yang gak sehat aja, menurut artikel itu, bentuk gemuk yang gak sehat adalah bentuknya menyerupai buah apel atau buah pear! sesaat setelah membaca artikel, dimulailah chat yang menghantam jiwa, kira2 begini :
me : "hahahaha, gendut kayak pear atau apel?hahaha"
upang : "iyo, itu yang gak sehat"
me : "kok isa ya, jadi aku ini masih sehat kan?hahahaha"
upang : "kamu kayak buah pear, kalo Big itu ndak, dia merata"
me : "mosok aku kayak buah pear?hahahaha"
upang : "iya serius"
me : "hahahahaha"
upang : "..."
me : "hahahahahaha"
upang : "..."
me : "HAHAAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA TIDAAAK"
dia gak tau kalo aku sudah kejang2 di ujung sana...
*tidak benar2 terjadi, aku gak kejang*
dan sejak saat itulah, buah pear adalah seteru abadiku...

NEXT!
hari minggu kemaren, saatnya bersantai di rumah, seharian isinya tidur, sambil menunggu kepulangan Upang (ooh kemana dirimuuu??aku membutuhkan dirimuuuuu...buat panen hasil tani). Sesaat setelah pulang, diajak ke mall...oleh Yudianto, rencana awalnya cuma mau liat pameran anjing disana. MALES NYAAAAAAA. tapi akhirnya berangkat juga setelah diiming2i pijet :p
let's skip to the massage's part
nyoba pijet di Shuang reflexology, nyoba foot reflexology ceritanya, bareng Upang, Yudi, dan Hany (minus Chong karena meskipun badan gede kayak kingkong, tapi menurut dugaan kita2 sih dia gak tahan diraba2). Nice and warm interior...pelayanannya ramah...sofanya empuk...suhu ruangan pas...tukutukutuk...masuklah 4 terapis--yang notabene cantik bak cece2--sambil berkata "Ni Hao?" ---jdeeeeeerrr!!mampus kita semua!!

Cantik, kayak artis...dan rata2 masih berusia 20-an...kita2 sih enjoy aja, membicarakan mereka dengan bahasa Jowo, sementara (kita yakin) mereka pun membicarakan kita dengan bahasa yang hanya mereka dan Tuhan yang ngerti.

salah satu terapis cantik, baru 21...cantiiik

dan inilah muka yang beruntung hari itu

tawa kebahagiaan sang pemenang!

ah, anyway, coba Chong ikut...siapa tau dia bisa menemukan tambatan hatinya disini...cantik2 lo Chong :)

saatnya kembali bekerja...

Hello my lovely readers.. :)
So today I read an inspiring story and I just can't wait to share with you all..

Happy reading ♥

In 2007, I was an employee working with a great company. My boss was intelligent and inspiring. My coworkers were amicable and worked well as a team. The office environment was entirely casual; no suit and tie required. The pay was acceptable and vacation time fair. The work was adequate, with some days more challenging than others. Office communication was radically transparent, as the staff would often meet weekly to review the recent triumphs and discuss the goals ahead. By most accounts, I should have been content with my career. But something was missing. It started during my morning commute. I would suit up for my bike (depending on the weather) and pedal along the streets, admiring the sense of aliveness that comes with breaking a light sweat. Upon arriving to work, I removed the lock from my backpack and secured my bike next to the rear office entrance, and gazed at the steps leading inside. Suddenly the tiny voice in my head piped up: are you sure this is your path? The statement wasn’t critical or mocking. It was merely asking my opinion on this seemingly natural routine of heading into work every weekday for the requisite 8 hours.
Yes, i told the voice. And headed down the steps


Making Excuses
As the weeks wore on the voice didn’t disappear. Instead, while I typed up reports on my computer, designed a new web page, or printed another document, the question continued to reverberate in my head.

Are you sure this is your path?

I found myself forcibly silencing the voice. I reasoned that a steady paycheck was worthwhile, the experience invaluable, and besides, what else would I do instead of this job? True, I had always been somewhat of a self-starter. In high school I coded websites for extra cash, wrote short stories for the love of writing, and even animated cartoons in my free time. In fact, my wife’s first exposure to my personality came from browsing my photos, video clips, and essays posted on my website. After graduating university, I felt it was time to gain experience in a “normal” 9-5 career. I felt I lacked the knowledge and business network to try freelancing full-time. As a compromise, I started a travel blog Brave New Traveler, and developed it as an outlet for the creativity I felt wasn’t being utilized in my current job. I continued to ignore the voice.

Taking The Leap
A year passed. My employee contract was up for renewal. Nothing had really changed in the job itself; I was still doing similar tasks, not hating my work, but neither inspired by it either. On a day like any other, I remember sitting in my home office, answering a few emails from friends. I found my mind wandering to the impending employee contract; what I should ask for, how I should negotiate. Underneath this mental noise, I felt the tiny inner voice asking its question: Are you sure this is your path? Immediately, I smothered the voice with excuses as to why I should stick with my current career: the money, the stability, the team. After all, many people hated their jobs, and I actually liked mine…most of the time. Suddenly, it hit me: I was afraid. I was inventing reasons to avoid the uncertainty of making the leap and becoming a freelancer. The unknown is scary. The known is predictable. Yet if I actually listened the voice inside, I realized it was telling me to trust the unknown. It was telling me to follow the path that made me afraid, excited, curious, elated. It was telling me to follow the path with heart.

The Path With Heart
At some point in their lives, many people ask themselves this same question:
am I doing what I should be doing with my life?
Am I on the right path?
And more importantly, how do I know the right path when I find it?

Don Juan, quoted in the book The Teachings of Don Juan by Carlos Castenda, believes the right path is always apparent, if you know how to look.

Look at every path closely and deliberately. Does this path have heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn’t, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere; but one has a heart, the other doesn’t. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you strong; the other weakens you. A path without heart is never enjoyable. You have to work hard even to take it. On the other hand, a path with heart is easy, it does not make you work at liking it.

For me, the path with heart was to make the leap to freelancer. So that very night, when earlier I had been pondering the next year’s employee contract, instead I wrote an email to my boss. I explained how grateful I was for her mentorship and for the opportunity to work with her company; that the position was absolutely right for someone else, but it was ultimately not right for me.

The Road Ahead
Since that fateful decision, I have never looked back. Freelancing has provided me the space to create the life situation that I enjoy most, combining work and travel to develop projects that I infuse with my full passion and energy. Certainly, the unknown has been stressful and more challenging than a regular 9-5 job. But the rewards are felt everyday. First of all, I’m happier, and this happiness trickles outward in all aspects of my life. (Anyone who loves their work knows this to be a fundamental benefit). And second, I feel okay with uncertainty, since security is ultimately an illusion anyway. (Just as Wall Street).This was made possible because I listened to my inner voice. I stopped making excuses and embraced the path with heart. Of course, not all inner voices speak the same. But if you quieted your mind, took a deep breath, and really listened…

What’s your inner voice telling you?

Be happy guys!! :) Pink ♥ U



Live your dreams and be happy Read more :)

Hello everyone.. :)
So here I am, Miss Pink with her first post in this blogging world... Yay for me... hehehe..
And for today, I just want to share some tips about how to live a better life in 09 :)

Here we go!
1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile. :)
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
3. Sleep for 7 hours.
4. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Play more games. (ow yeah...)
6. Read more books than you did the previous year.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink plenty of water.
12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don't remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
15. Don't have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
16. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
18. Smile and laugh more.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don't hate others.
20. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
21. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
22. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
23. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don't compare your partner with others.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25. Forgive everyone for everything.
26. What other people think of you is none of your business.
27. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
28. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
29. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
30. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
31. The best is yet to come.. always....
32. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up!
33. Do the right thing!
34. Call your family often.
35. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy. :)
36. Each day give something good to others.
37. Don't over do. Keep your limits...
