My, it has been a while.
I am now officially part-timng at Aksara bookstore, and getting busier with final report so I barely have time for you, bloggy.
Okay that's a lie.
I've been re-pulled back into the Tweeting world. Sorry. It's just addictive to read Giuilana's beauty tips or Coldplay's latest adventure or Chelsea/Ellen DeGeneres's witty posts. Not to mention CNN Breaking News's.....breaking news. The world is really at your fingertips. (Is that someone's tagline? If yes, sorry then, didn't mean to steal.)
I've just finished reading another Cecilia Ahern, this time with the title of If You Could See Me Now. Don't get me started. In my opinion, it's her best piece of work so far. You laugh and you cry along with the characters. I really wanna jot down what's it all about but nah, I'm being nice today so I won't give you any spoiler.
Well okaay, then, if you insist. It's about imaginary friends.
>:)
Which, really, makes me wanna write something similar to it. I have always wnated to write stories on magical/out-of-this-world stuff, remember? (No?) It's either super-powered humans, fairies, mafia families........the possibility is endless.
By the way, this post's title is Mr. Joshua Radin's song. So what has everyone been up to really? I am curently writing my report. So to speak. I have Facebook, Blogger and Twitter on my tab browsers and I have never felt more tech-savvy in my life. Oh, and did you hear about the Facebook ban here in our beloved country?
Don't get me started on that.
Hey you know who I miss? My highschool buddies! :( Is our 2010 trip still on, girls? ;D haha. I have never acted that impuslvie before and I loved it.
I'm gonna get back to writing and I promise I will return with much more meaningful posts. Toodles!

has time put out the flame ?
If possible, I love my phone even more.
I just decided to re-join the Tweeting action and have just followed loads of people. Iit's getting kind of fun :D And even more fun when I downloaded it to my phone. It's true that you could get addicted to writing a status update every few minutes. Give people a chance to talk about themselves, and off they go. Secretly we are all self-loving humans even though more often than not we refuse to admit it.
I have to get back to writing my reports. This is the part I hate the most: researching communication definitions. My UPH SmartCard was left at a friend's, so I annot access the library for the moment. I'm gonna stick with the Net instead.
I'm gonna need luck for that.
Because I am so not in the mood.
Tomorrow's my first shift in Aksara and I'm nervous as hell.
By the way, I tried to make donuts with my beloved trusted maid this morning. We just laid it out in the garage so it'd get sunrays (in order to bulge) and we're waiting for the result.
I'm gonna need luck for that as well.
If I could, I'll post photos later :D
Last night I went to a theater/traditional dance show by my school's arts department in Kuningan. My team, of course, did saman and another dance I didn't coach. As I watched them onstage, I realized how much I missed that dance. Toothy grins, knowing the spotlight is on you and your friends, capturing the audience's enthusiasm; there's nothing I love more than that. I could also feel the eagerness of the audience inching forward, trying to get a better view as the dance was signaled to begin.
I just sat back in my seat and smiled proudly.
I went to their last practice yesterday and was very disappointed at them because they really lacked of team unity. It shows, trust me. So I did give a little pep-talk and thank God, they were showing improvements last night. Because based on my experiences, (at least on 2007 when I was still very active) you cannot perform that dance if you only care about your performance; what to do in this segment, what's the next move, what's the lyrics, how's the rhtyhm like, where am I gonna move next. No; you gotta think about the whole team's next moves and especially the two people beside you. Which is why I told them how important team effort is because it always, always, always shows. And which is why me and Tania have the tightest bond ever, haha, since she's always positioned next to me.
Now that I'm done with internship and only work part-time, I hope there's gonna be another event where I could join in. I could use the workout, that's for sure. I have been getting rounder and rounder since holidays :S
Off to check the donuts !
Toppings suggestions, anyone?

in the middle
I don't update this as much as I use to, do I?
I've finished reading the Mysterious Society book- to my surprise, it is not as good as I expected in the first place. Probably because it draws out too long in the middle and the finale excitement is too short; as if the writer just wants to get it done as soon as possible.I know that feeling.
Haha.
But it's still a great story, especially for children because it contains intelligent stuff. Ooh I also borrowed Tuesdays with Morrie from my friend so...be prepared. Expect me to be philosophical freak in the next few posts.
I have to go snacking now- just woke up from a long nap and tummy is grumbling. Goodbye for now!

between good and bad
My internship's done.
Seriously, I never expected to feel sad when I'm done with it. No more meeting my train people. No more arriving at the office when it was still eerily quiet. No more listening to the office boy's tuneless singing when he cleaned up the desks. No more listening to the witty banters between my colleagues. No more media monitoring rush like there's no tomorrow. No more summary reviews where Mr. America and UN Madame hover over Ms. British, waiting to be yelled at (internal joke). No more Starbucks sessions in the afternoon, skipping works. No more lounging in the meeting room and gossip about others.
We had a farewell dinner at the skydining place; it was good.
But still :(
Well. There is the advantage of waking up late into the noon.
But I get bored really easily =S
Hey on another, happier, note, I got the part-time job at the bookstore :D So yay! And tomorrow, if anything goes smooth, I'm gonna have dinner with the girls. So it's all just getting better. Amin.
All I've been doing for the past two days is eat. My mom loves it when the house is full, so she just keeps cooking and cooking like you wouldn't believe. Tsk.
I've been missing things. Hmmm. And people.
It's been such a long time since I met my high school friends. >:(
I'm in the mood to pour out something, but I don't know what it is. Can you tell? My writing style has been distant and kind of forced, hasn't it?

in the mood to write
This is my last Thursday at B-M.
:(
Anyways.....
What a rainy morning today! I was riding the train as usual and luckily I brought my umbrella. But stiiilll I ruined my shoes because by the time I got on my office's lobby, water filled my shoes and literally they make a squish, squish sound when I walked hahaha I felt like a huge loser. I wanted to laugh but restrained myself, to prevent other people from thinking that I'm completely losing it.
It was still a good day, though :D
We had a staff meeting and the company's Asia Pacific CEO was doing a rare dropping-by in Jakarta this week, hence the staff dinner at Kembang Goela last night and today's staff lunch at the office.
I, of course, took a picture with him.
See, this is my problem. Always have been and always will be: getting too sentimental over stuff. You may call it dramatic, which I hereby claim that I am. I get too attached with my workplace, darn it. How to unattach myself from things like that -does anyone have any idea? Because I don't :( Not at the slighest. I got too attached to my high school class, college years..argh!
Well it's time for me to go home; will write later tomorrow.
I'm planning to hold a farewell dinner tomorrow , let's hope I won't shed any tears necause that would be downright embarassing; yes, even for me.
:(

Cloudy day
This is my last Wednesday in the office.
How the heck could four months have flown by so fast? I thought it was just yesterday that I learned how to get acquainted with my Outlook account. Jeez.
So, today I had an interview with a local bookstore for a part-time job starting June. To be honest, I am not certain about the results. It was all very sudden, haha,I got the call last night and had to come to Kemang this morning. Shoot.
Wish me luck :)
By the way, I really hate those crappy disguised companies in FB offering jobs. One of my friends fell into the trap. The company's name is Wipowell or something; they pretend that they're looking for PR, interns accepted, but it turns out they're some stock-trading company or some equally useless sort. It really makes me angry. And a few days ago, I opened my Facebook to see this:
D'Magnifique Keysersouze
Dinda,,,R u interested to be a Public Relation(PR)? …Fulltime…Part time…Freelance…or Magang(internship) utk yg msh kuliah…Gud income lho n great experiences lho,,,,,,,,:o)
What a buttwipe.
This was my reply:
Hai,
Of course I'm interested to be a PR. Just not in your company.
Regards,
Dinda.
I hope they got the message. I really hate companies like that, seriously. How stupid do they think I am? Looking for PR, or some sales/marketing slave that gets commission whenever I manage to get a client? And do you think by changing your name, I wouldn't track your history down?
(And don't you dare try to suck my friends in, you brainless tool. )
Anyways. I am off to do another task now. Staff dinner tonight, hoope it's gonna be a good one.
Cheerios, amigos.

nice sunday
Peppered crackers and mayo tuna spread are the best combination ever invented. Even better than PB & J. Better than Oreo bscuits and its fillings.
Go try it.
I can't write much- my dog's been circling me with her nose up in the air, trying to lcoate where the delicious tuna scent comes from.
Doesn't she know I don't share foods?
