movie marathon !!

$7 and $8 per movie.. I don't know whether those price are worth or not, cause a lot of people say just to buy one ticket then we could just sneak into the other cinema, I feel really bad for them, but in the other way I wanted to save my money as well, I spent a lot yesterday lol.. Some more I'm thinking that if I want to save my money, I couldn't enjoy myself, cause every time I got stressed out I just need to buy something or do something which always requires money, no worries I'm still the same, I'm not into expensive clothes and girly stuff, so I spent it to something more ... ackward.

I was so damn happy yesterday, I got the feeling before that yesterday won't be a good day because I had a lot of shitty things happened in the morning, and every time I got that feeling, it feels like something wrong will happen to me again later on, but naahhh.. well.. I should carry a lot of trays thou, but I just try to think positive and put it as the part of my training.. anyway I just remembered that I should call to book my Orlando trip.. hmm.. after I finished working I just changed really fast and walk to the channelside.. =)

well anyway, this is the time to review 2 movies that I watched yesterday;


First is the Old Dogs starring John Travolta and Robin Williams, this is the best comedy movie for 2009, well that's my opinion lol. The stories is really simple but the way the act and the role of the movie was really funny and touching.. reminds me of Patch Adams. Whoever thought that this movie is the sequel for the Wild Dog, they got it wrong.. It's totally a different movie just with the same cast.. I watched it in a lounge style cinema alone, it was awesome !

I went out to have an appetizer The Spring Summer Roll and dessert Fried Cheesecake in Thai restaurant while waiting for my second movie..



The second movie is the best of the best true story movie I've ever seen.. THE BLIND SIDE.. so touching, so tempting, so encouraging, so motivating, Sandra Bullock at her best.. even though I don't really understand Football but this movie really ... how to say.. made me curious and can't wait what will happen in the next scene =)

Washington Hall

enjoying my off day here in tampa, I'm not going out somewhere, don't want to spend any money today.. now is fall in florida, the wind is so damn strong, can you imagine the wind is pushing you aside when you're biking? i bike sooo hard for 20 min everyday to work.. there are two bridges some more that i have to pass.. geez I hate having a lot of pimples as well.. it will be great if I could drive my own car in here.. talking about how hot florida is eventhou it's already fall reminds me of my dorm back there in New Hampshire..
I never live in a dorm before and i think it's a really great experience for me.. well spending a lot of money is not really necessary if you want to find peacefulness, like renting another house and stay outside the dorm, well it depends of each people perspective. if i want to just stay by myself, i could just take the single room in the dorm, believe me it's more fun if we're staying together and spend most of our time with our classmates. =) geez i miss my fellow classmates at indon so much, how i spent my quality and stupidity time together with 'em.
ahem.. oh well.. let's get back to my previous dorm.. which i will be back there again next year.. the first time we came to new hampshire, it was really2 cold.. we arrived at 1am, we're really lost and don't know what to do.. I brought 2 freaking huge luggage with me, 1 small luggage, and 1 hand carrier with me.. oh what a day.. we didn't found any taxi as well, nobody's there.. it's really weird, so we found this unknown private taxi run by the African immigrant guys to our campus, it was really dark and pretty scary, we didn't have any clue at all when we arrived at our campus SNHU.. we circled around the campus area, and we just anyhow figure that we should just stay in front of this big building near the hospitality center, lol.
well break time.. it's time for diet coke.. brb.. anyway.. I'm watching chicken little right now, the fish is really cute ! aahh how calm i forgot how cute he is..
---
one of my friend saw a Korean boy, who's Richard, if I'm not wrong that would be his American name.. we were so cold back then, and he could able to speak English really well and he choose to ignore us at the first time.. at last I saw bunch of people who're entering their car, so I just ran after them and asked them to help us out, so that they called the security and they helped us to get some food =), ahh feels like I'm in a hobo's shelter..
The first day when we're there, the weather is so cold, we're freezing inside our room, trying to sleep.. day after day.. we met our other classmates one by one, Canadian, Jamaican, Peruvian, Nedherland, Turkish, Chinese.. I'm really excited to meet other people from different nationalities, it's just the other side of me to explore and observed their cultural minds..should i say again that i miss my Indonesian friends back home? =(
1 most important thing that we should consider by staying in a standard dorm.. PUT A FAN IN THE ROOM !! i never thought that i could be that hot in New Hampshire.. really it's more hotter than Vancouver.. i thought that i just want to save my money by not buying the $15 fan, ahh... what a selfish mind, i thought that 1,5 months won't be a long time, but i almost melted last time and i couldn't sleep at all cause of the heat.. ohh and i promise myself even though i need to walk by to the Walmart and carry that fan by myself? I would !
the other sucky thing is the lighting inside the room, it's not that bright and it's yellow ! why American like to put yellow lamps inside the room? it's really hard to stay and doing thing inside that room, i prefer to do things like paperwork and if possible chatting outside my room as well like in the library or in the common room.

I <3 Indonesia

bingung.. saia bingung.. kenapa kalo di indo, saia berdomisili di jakarta sih.. pasti tuh org2 rasis berat de.. cina lah, indo, indon, bule depok, cina kota, cina benteng, dll.. kita smua kan sama.. sama - sama lahir di indonesia, kita itu satu.. ga bisa dipungkiri mungkin saia dl jg org yg seperti itu.. tapi pas sudah pergi meninggalkan ibukota.. rasanya tuh ada sesuatu yang hilang, pecahan dalam diri yang tidak lengkap.. aku rindu indonesia..
bangga sekali saia jadi orang indonesia, saya ga akan malu mengakui kalau pemerintahannya bobrok, tapi disisi lain banyak hal yang patut dibanggakan dari kita.. gw menyadari kalau negara kita itu kreatif banged.. over mala iya sampai kadang2 disalah gunakan dengan menjiplak karya orang lain..
setelah menjajakkan kaki di benua lain.. saia tersadarkan.. rasis itu kata2 yang tak berarti.. ditanya, kamu orang apa? "INDONESIA" mrk ga akan tanya n gamau tau chinese lah melayu lah.. kita indonesian titik ga pake koma.. kalo orang2 bilang gw org chinese.. yg ada gw marah.. "ga ga gw bukan chinese.. gw indonesian !!" ada darah chinese tapi saya dari indonesia !

 kata2 kota itu cukup menipuku.. setengah mati saia yg buta peta ini mencoba mencari dmn kah letak sekolahku itu.. snhu, southern new hampshire university.. kesannya gagah nan dusun banged.. pasti ditengah limbah hutan ato diatas pohon cemara.. (emgnya ruma si komo?).. bokap uda spaneng, tp saia teteup kekeuh cb cari info dll.. sampe cari2 d fb org2 yg ada skul dsana.. gatau mrk itu low tech ato gmn yah.. sombong banged kirim msg ga perna dibales.. sampe akhirnya senior ada yg ngasi tau klo senior yg laen ada ksana.. ahem.. ngerti sampe sini?

Economy Class

I swear to God, if I have much money and when i should go back and travel for more than 3 hrs in a plane, i should get a business class ! (that will be the 3rd if clause uh?) .. i couldn't imagine how the business people can stand to travel and put their ass in uncomfy spot for a freaking long time to get to another place.. no wonder that most of the business travelers are so..(*&#@(#*& uhm.. unpredictable sometimes..
I don't think that I'm too fat to sit in an economy class chair, but why.. why... it feels like I'm stuck in a box, couldn't move at all.. well in case of last time, when it was the plane from SG to Japan by AA and another flight from los angeles to vancouver, i was sitting alone in the entire row.. so i just lay down and put my feet up to the chair and pretend to sleep..
note for my future husband.. we better get a RV and have a overland trip.. lol.
talking bout flight experience.. i remember the time when i want to use the toilet inside the airplane.. I'm pretty surprised that most of the people who took the flight last time I only found one unflushed toiled bowl with the "pretty" little gift inside it.. not bad uh..? wanna know something more interesting? take any airlines which go to china.. take chinese or other budget airlines.. it will be more awesome if you take the flight from china.. choose uncommon city to go from..
once I went to china, well we had an "awesome" trip back then.. they really commit into their tradition.. balancing the yin and yang.. the bad and the goodness.. my china trip will be in different posting lol, anyway.. when i took my flight back from china.. the airplane is just like.. a nightmare.. 5 hours took me forever.. and when i arrived i cried then i ran to one of the pillar and become koala.. *too much drama..  well yes, the airplane is really disgusting.. toiled papers everywhere, babies cried, a lot of alien noises, i-don't-understand-english-version of the flight attendants, and boom, bonus for the one who went to the toilet ! colorful toilet paper hanging around the overload trash bin, urine color toilet bowl, deadly aroma therapy over 2 meters.. hmm or world.. how wonderful are chinese girls' armpits.. i'm wondering the story behind it and why they still keep that tradition..

American Dream

Why there is a lot of people wants to go to work in USA? I still remember last time that I have to queue below the bridge for 2 hours to get into the embassy, it's not that all, we should have to pay for the entrance fee, filled some forms, and dear Lord, the staff weren't nice at all, at least show some respect to the elderly people, we're trying to be legal not just jump on the ship or swim to USA and becoming a hobo there.. =(.. We just like cows in a farm, waiting in line for almost another 4 hrs then get into the interview section.. At first I thought that it's only happened in my country, cause it's famous with the "american companies" bombing but na ah.. sometimes the way they think it's just too complicated, they want to make things to be more "well arranged" but people might take it for granted.. well every time that I talked bout America, the first thing that pop up to my head is getting the visa experience.. well back to topic.. yuuu...
Sering ga sih kita tuh binun sama yg namanya masa depan, takut buat melangkah n mengambil keputusan. saia yakin banged di indo tuh banyak org2 yg bermental kuat n ga ragu buat memilih jalan hidup.. tapi saia salah satu yg bukan =), plin plan? ia banged.. lol.. sejak pengalaman patah hati, est 2007, suatu kebodohan dalam hidup, tapi biarlah menjadi sebuah pelajaran.. saia mulai mencari alternatif hidup lain, masi muda, merasa kuad dan mampu ngelakuin apa aja.. pengen rasanya bertualang, mencari sesuatu yang baru dari rutinitas hidup yg *rec. nyaman, dirumah, pake duit orang tua, ada pembantu, ada piaraan, ada teman2. mule de nekat dari lamar kerja di Dubai, berakhir ditolak mentah sama bokap abis itu stela setenga taon nganggur baru dy nyesel ga kasi gw k dubai.. terus ikut lamar AIESEC (this program is really challenging for us) tp gagal lolos 2nd interview n dengan berat hati ga bisa ngelanjutin program na gara2 uda mule gawe sama sodara... terus cari sekolahan de.. singapura - malay - oz - nz - canada - daannnn.. amerikahh .. astaga... mungkin gw bakal cerita lagi gmn perjuangan gw sampe akhirna bisa pili amrik.. dan disinilah saia berlabuh.. SNHU oh... dan pkl lagi de d Florida..
banyak orang berbondong - bondong buat kerja diluar negri... memang sih kalo uda kerja disini gaji na ajib lah dibanding kampung halaman, tapi harus siap banged buat hidup susah.. *rec, klo uda ga minta duid papa mama yah.. mungkin omongan gw skrg masi plain banged de.. masi baru disini.. blm banyak pengalaman, secara disini jg masi blm bisa bebas, masi terikat kontrak sekolah n blm settle banged euy, blm ada license,, ga ada mobil.. ga bisa piara hewan (intinya sih itu).. tapi menurut observasi gw.. kita sebagai esl (english as second languge) harus bener2 bisa makan ati bener de, bersyukurlah kalian yang d amrik masi bisa kerja di lingkungan sekampung halaman, soalna bisa komunikasi dengan nyaman sesama tmn sekerja tuh bener2 penting puol.. banyak banged duka gw regarding the language problem.. =(
it's all about money right? *rec tupi.. lol.. yes i do agree.. orang2 disini betah2in kerja bener2 cmn buat duid saja.. mereka banyak yg saling nikam dari blkng, banyak yg jelek2in dr blakang, fake banged de.. gatau pada setuju sama gw ato ga, tapi yg gw liad dari tempat kerja gw sih begitu yah.. bener2 jarang terlihat yg kerja tapi buat kejar karir.. kebanyakan ud nyaman sama posisi mereka yg paling bawah tapi bisa dapet duit paling kenceng.. itulah knp tenaga kerja luar banyak digunakan.. soalna angmo maw kejar karir.. n biarlah imigran yg menopang mereka.. what an american dream uh?
