old & new year in the pavilion

what a bad end year. my dad go into the hospital again because of the complication oh his disease. it's impossible if I spend my old & new year celebration far from my family with this condition. when I knew about my dad's health, I went to home. He entered the hospital yesterday (30/12). then moved to pavilion to get more privacy and comfort. I'm waiting him here. Last year (December 31st 2009), my dad and I spent the old & new year with saw the fireworks together. Now, my friends are digital TV and a lot of design book. My mother also accompany my dad. So, tonight I'll pass the old year 2010 & new year 2011 in the pavilion. Get well soon, daddy.

fun with the animals

it's time to improve my photography skills. last tuesday (28/12), I ask my friend Bas to accompany me explore about photography. finally, we went to animal market. I have a lot of digital gadget, but I love to took a photograph with the manual camera. I was using nikon F60 in this event and canon ixus (digital) too.

look at the hamster, I interested with the expression. I forgot to set the speed of ixus, so the photograph looks a bit of blur. I will not buy the DSLR before finish explore the manual. manual still the best than the digital.

christmas, christmas, christmas

every year, my major in my campus always make a christmas celebration. this year, I wasn't coming to the christmas celebration on December 17th. actually, I always came to the event, 3 years before I came to the event, but not for this year. a lot of deadline and appointments. my plan's to spent my holiday with my (ex)girlfriend is fall. I'm not regretted with the condition, but I regretted why the condition became like this. yeah right, it's over, but I hope to be in relationship with her again. till now, I still see her face everywhere, on my mind, on my dream, everywhere. MAD!!! that's me, freak. I don't know who's my destiny for my future. just let it flow.

well, I spent my christmas celebration with my friends in the church in a day after christmas day. I act as a documentator (photographer and filmer). it's very fun. a lot of programs like dramas, choir, bands. everybody jazz up the event till the end. althought it was rainy, young peoples, oldies and the teens flocked up there. very nice atmosphere.

I got a christmas gift on December 24th, a day before the christmas day. yeah, that's the gift. sport shoes, nike T-Lite VIII. I got nike shoes whereas I'm dreaming to get an AND1 shoes hohoho. it doesn't really matter. the shoes came with orange box. I like the (simple) box, inspiring...

in the end...merry christmas!!!

fishin on the bog

mad of fishing. my friends in my trip community mad with fishing activities. we're dreaming we get big fishes like fisherman on television. our plan next year's go to karimun island to hunt and get strikes big fishes in there, but we must upgrade our fishing pole because we'll not fishing in the pool, but in the sea. beside that, we must save our money to prepare the trip, because we must rent a yacht to go in the middle of the sea. impossible if we're fishing in the ashore. save the plan for next year, this end month, before we spend our long (christmas and new year) holiday, we made a trip together on the bog. yeah, we were fishing there.

a day before went to the bog, my friends and I bought a fishing pole in the fish shop. various brand and quality made me confused, because we didn't know about the brands and prices of fishing pole. the owners of the shop are helpful, they helped me to choose the best fishing pole that suited with me. my friends bought a fishing pole for fishes that the weight's about 2-5 kilograms. what we bought? we bought a rail, fishing rod, fishing hook, and its accessories.

the shop list are completely bought, then we went to the Anggi's warehouse to stringing a fishing pole. it's so difficult for me. because we never did it before, we're ready to take serious risks if the tools are broken off. we were googling to get the information about how to stringing a fishing pole, finally we did it, the fishing pole is matched and ready to rock the bog on the morrow (24/12). we took a long time for it, we bought the fishing pole at 3 p.m and fixed at 7 p.m

the next day, in the morning, about 7 a.m, we flock together in Bas house, had a breakfast together and about 7.30 a.m we were going to the bog in Klaten. we arrived in the location at 9 a.m. 5 peoples with 5 motorcycles. Alex, Anggi, Theo, Bas, and me. the atmosphere on that day is very hot, no cloudy and rainy, sunny.

just Alex, Anggi, and me who's fishing. Bas and Theo just brought their camera, they wanna took our activities in that day. we (Alex, Anggi and me) looks like artists that's haunted by paparazzi. the result's very disappointed. we just got small fishes and sometime our fish hooks are broken off because the big fishes. forget about that, the closing ceremonial is had a lunch together. we ordered a lot of seafood menu and ate them together. road to karimun guys!!!

close the case in the japanese food house

I thought I felt free after the final presentation of my practical work in the early month. my bad, i forgot about the report and documentation. 3 days without slept, I was doing the report and collected the files for complete documentation. a lot of memorable things and moments happen. without GOD, I can't finished it all in the limited time. on the rainy atmosphere, I must went around this city (Jogja) to get a place to copy and bind my report. Not just that, I'm so confused when I must call my lecturers to get their signature. OMG!!! finally, in the December 16th, my report and documentation with the authentication are submitted. till now, I'm not believe that I did all my deadlines of my practical work although my time is limited with high on stress condition.

my affair about practical work is totally finished in this day (16/12). just in time after submitted all about it, my friends (Anggi, Thomas, Alex) jazz up the rain and went to Japanese Food House to lick the new taste of tenpayaki and ramen. saw the chef made a wonderful and yummy foods in front of me with high technique made me fresh, calm down and forgot about the things before it. what a nice day with homies. I didn't know and I never ate in this place before. A day after this, I know that the japanese food house is Tompi's restaurant. Tompi is a jazz singer. nice dude!!

bbe shocking day

in the middle of this month (17/12), my friend Bambang got surprise from me and tee (my friend nadhia didn't join because of prepared the Christmas party). I knew him since he was in the same student community with me. boy from jogja with glasses and wavy hair. on the night before D-day, tee texted me, she said that December 17th is Bambang's birthday and she asked me to give him a surprise. in the same time, nadhia did the same as tee did to me, she asked to me to buy a candle for birthday cake. I thought, the surprise is birthday cake. So, I didn't prepare something special before like I did when my friends celebrate their birthday.

On the D day, in the morning, tee texted me and asked me to meet her in campus (in that day, Bambang worked as a volunteer in campus). about 9 a.m we met in the campus. I just saw tee, and she just brought a cone ice cream in her right hand and candles in the left hand. hohoho, she bought it suddenly. the surprise was ready, but we still waited nadhia. because of long time we waited and she didn't come, we stolen up on Bambang workplace with an ice cream with red candle on the top. gotcha!!! successful!!! he shocked when we came to his workplace with that. tee and I sang a birthday song, then Bambang made a wish and blew the fire of candle. finally, we ate the ice cream together while recorded the moment. happy birthday Bambang, now you're 21 years old. do your final exam, road to graduate and get busy with your job in the future.

that's an artwork for Bambang. regards!!!

a day off as fisherman

August till December is my time in my 7th semester. in this 7th semester, my lesson about practical work made me busy, confused, and high on stress. developed software everyday, revision, developed again, analized and tested..... not just a developer, but also work as a designer, tester, analyzer. the final step of my lesson is final presentation at December 8th. I prepared it all carefully, and to get the best final presentation. It's done and on that day I felt free. my brain started to calm down. on that night, I invited my friends to joined a trip on the morrow.

I invited my friends suddenly because I didn't know what I must did on the morrow after the final presentation. I just need to made my brain free. on the next day, we flocked in my friend's house. my friends who joined this trip is Jo, Alex, Thomas, Yosi, Anggi, Inne. What a trip? the trip is GO FISHING!!! we had a day off as fisherman in the fishpond.

the atmosphere when we arrived is cloudy and just waited for rain. in the middle of fishing time, the rain is came to make we wet, but we still waited our fishhook eaten by the fishes. sometime we got a big fish, sometime we got (very) small fish. laugh out loud together and the trip closed with lunch together with the fishes that we got. so grateful.

I hope the victims of merapi eruption can use the donation to make their life better because life is good and God is good too.

it's kind of missing on some level

Broke off with my girlfriend, lost my ticket(s) to Lombok Island, felt down from motorcycle, beated and bleed by new deck, not yet finish logo designs and prototype of tabloid, 4 times didn't come on a lot of programs (editorial staff meeting, charity hunt, seminars), sick of practical work, failed to buy And1 duraspring pro model 'the professor', cancel the randezvous with my homies, didn't submit the MJ2 design, lag in teach, and many more. The conclusion is...I was feeling unproductive. November is my sickest month of this year, (but)'I have one thing'...that's make me feel great till this time...
