The Second Intermezzo.

Finally, I'm able to steal my free time to write some random thoughts. Things are so damn busy right now, like I said before. The school exams and national examinations are coming towards me, and here I am, facing my Yahoo! inbox, wondering why my host-mother from South Korea haven't replied to my e-mail yet. And I have exercises to do as well, but... yeah, I'm too sleepy and too lazy to just open and do it. Don't copy my bad habit, friends, because one day you'll be doomed.

So! I just passed the practical test, which was kind of... a little piece of hell. I have the double-language attack on the first day of the test: English and Javanese. HAHAHA. Okay, seriously, my tongue was kinda "twisted" because I had to memorized 2 texts on different languages. We did narrative monologues. I had to talk about birds on English and the traditional puppet (re: wayang) character on Javanese. Oh, and on Javanese, we had to talk in krama Javanese, which means the language we used when we're talking to someone's older than us. MY TONGUE WAS TWISTED I COULDN'T---

Uhm. Okay, enough with that. But the tests was quite successful, I think. Alhamdulillah. But there's some mistakes that I made, for sure. On Biology test, for example. I accidentally dropped the beaker glass on the table and caused an obvious sound, then you can imagine how ashamed I am when the whole room was looking at me. Oh well... -__- and on the very last day of the test, we had P.E. The next day, I had pain on my body. Okay, I must say, I'm not accustomed to do body exercises...

After the practical test, hmm... there's no major events. Unless you count my current try out result. Oh, okay then. I was "thrown away" from the top 10. But I'm quite grateful knowing that my scores generally increased a little bit. Such a great improvement, was it? Next time, I must retain my real position on top 10!

I just can't believe that Jessica Amornkuldilok from Thailand got the title as Asia's (first) Next Top Model. While Filantropi Witoko from Indonesia was eliminated on episode 4... I can't wait for the cycle 2 of AsNTM!

Wait, I was supposed to talk about my life, not that television show that was hosted by Nadya Hutagalung...

Hm? Maybe that's all for now. I still have homework to do, and... well, bye.

I know, this is such a random post. But shut up, at least I wrote something here. Bye!

My Life's Mine. Your Life's Yours.


I just stalked my friend’s Instagram account when I saw something that kinda envious. Herself in a portrait with her friends. Looked so happy. I was quite... well, feel jealous and something like that. I’ve never had such a friendship like that. Hanging out, take photos in photobox... never. Ever.

And I often saw them throwing milkshake, eggs, flour, and water to each other when one of them had her birthday. My father always looked upset when he saw such a thing. He always warned me to NOT to do that. I always like, “Hmm, okay Dad, yeah” while inside, I’m like “Relax, Dad. NO ONE would throw flour and something like that to me on my birthday. I’m not that famous. My best friend even once forgot about my birthday...”

 Me? Jealous? To be honest, YES. But I always remember that me and my friends have another way to have fun. We’re not kind of people who like to spent a lot of money (well, maybe yes, but not so often) only to have fun. Just gather around and have a chit-chat or something... that’s quite fun.

And then I realized: why do I have to be jealous at something that other people have when I already have something that people jealous at?

Let me give you an example. My mother, for sure. Some of my friends said that I have to be grateful since I have such a great mother like her, and yeah, I do. My mother isn’t home right now, and since her leaving I’ve dreamt about her twice. See? I do love her. So do my friends. FYI, my mother is a counselor in my school. No wonder my friends know her.

So. The point is, my friends said that they are jealous at me because I have such an angel-hearted mother. Okay, I know this is quite exaggerated, but my friends said so. I just laughed at them and said thank you. Back to the question, why do you have to be jealous at something that other people have when you already have something that people jealous at? That is the point.

Also, this is my life that God had given to me. This is my life, and I should enjoy it. Enjoy every hour, every minute, and every second of your life. And every milisecond, microsecond, and so on. I have to confess that sometimes there’s one point where you feel depressed, sad, down, and something like that. Let’s just say, there’s some dark moments in your life. But that’s normal. That’s human nature. That’s make sense. Just be happy.

Although sometimes I wish I can be like them... the girls I’ve noticed above...

So, why do I have to be jealous at other people’s life? :)

My life’s mine. Your life’s yours.
