Passion to Fly

I lost my mind last sunday, losing grip and direction to go. A really nice friend of me offered talk over glasses of baileys, why not?

I came and I sit on her terrace, talking, whispering, updating stories of living. Oh I really misses quality talk, not just quantity for emptiness that repeats every night as I’m having. The talk continued as we stroll along neighborhood, sharing stories we could never share openly then we giggled. We’re still young anyway, at least according to us.

We laugh at contruction left-over nearby, a place suppose to be use by housemaid whom in love. Cold and boring somehow surround us. Looking up then noticed, the stars is brighter than used to be, a truly magnificent starry night indeed. Praise the Lord.

Her: I just noticed, actually star blinks and not only consist by one color
Me: do you know if this lights u see is actually delayed, the star might already dead by now
Her: so that means, present is future on space?
Me: yupp that’s true

I walk her back to home, looking up the sky once again and voila I got my shooting star. Poor she didn’t see it. I wish upon a star for myself. I’m the happiest man on earth by that moment. Time is ticking faster, thanked her for that night then straight to my home. Whatta beatiful night it was …

P.S : looking forward to have another starry - starry night, perhaps the next shooting star is for you :)

1. A different situation
2. A different situation
3. A different situation

Well travel isn’t about looking for commonality anyway, it is (to me) about seeing a different way of living and try to live it for a while..

Happy holiday everybody!!!

In accordance to Wikipedia, Dorian Gray Syndrome (DGS) is characterized by a triad of symptoms combining diagnostic signs of dysmorphophobia, narcissistic character traits, and arrests in psychic maturation often seen in paraphilias. Dorian Gray patients frequently are excessive users of “medical lifestyle” products. Or simply defined as, anti-aging without dignity.

I was diagnosed with this disorder 1 year ago …

It started just by simple conversation that leads to an answer “i wanna look like this forever”, I don’t want to have a child, marriage sounds like disastrous idea and my friend who is faculty of psychology student begun to conclude that I am having DGS. It is actually a mental disorder, but since the overwhelming media coverage to promote a perfect human being its no longer considered as a serious disorder. Since everyone standing in this earth below 30 years old (I believe) has an idea to perfecting yourself.

Awfully industrialism and consumerism boosting the DGS to be a common sense in the world. You name it they have it, from high-tech skincare, body modification, diet pills, erectile dysfunction pills, and even mood lifter. Just to fulfill the idea of being like your role model.

I don’t have a role model, but somehow what surrounds me is those who put me in DGS. The society (it, middle it or no it all) wants you to be on perfect shape, good looking always all the time. Who has the answer, the modern industry product has the answer. You could change your hair color, eye color, skin tones, anything. (I believe) Human lives in accordance to the laws of attraction, more attracting you are is better you are and somehow modern human being is pushed to fulfill it.

The answer for cure is upon yourself, how you IGNORE the overwhelming idea of human perfection, be wise, don’t get addicted to this perfection supporting products. Inner comfort is the most important thing. Do not let your society drive you to be what they want, there is still plenty of warm and accepting people out there.

Me? I still have to handle it, since the DGS already eaten my soul, I hope to see a progress in not-so-distant future.

I found this cheap product on some random supermarket few weeks ago. Since my hair still considerably very bald that time, i just got the guts to dye my hair today when it is around 2 cm. Actually there’s no expectation for a 12k IDR stuff would works on somehow this stubborn hair compare to Majilift 90K worth. Plus the color i picked is too good to be true for 12K which called Ash Latte without any number.

Life comes with a cycle, something that would keep going form generation to generation for the sake of ancestry. A baby is born, the he/she would grow up into a more complicated human form called teenager, then it would develop to adult and by doing adultery creating new born baby then a phase called parenting is officially commenced …

Parenting = ???

As I grow up, i learn that parenting isn’t a simple thing. My mom insisted if the point being a parent is to SUCK IT ALL, good times and bad times a parent shall survive it. After all those survival 101 passed, they tend to stands in their own feet and guess what, this is the point where all drama begins.

Your kids are no longer kids, they develop onto legal entity called citizen where they start to live like one. No more school, no more uniform, and most importantly no more ruled. An ideology act just like a new microchip installed cutting you partially from your parent command. Ideology of what you wish for, what you want to become as an adult and how to live your life to its fullest. Mostly this microchip is considered by parents as endangerment or corrupting the previous “good boy/girl” microchip they inject you before. Endangering good values etcetera making good boy/girl gone bad with your circle of friend considered as the black sheep.

Do you agree with that? Off course your answer is NO!

Well in fact your circle of friends is just like Globalization, you start to globalize to learn what’s out there, you suck it all then finally building your very own ideal life according to you. Not entirely wrong. Globalization does bring goods and harms in consequence, this is what parent hates. Do not blame the parent, do not willing to be blame … It just you live in different dimension with your parents, sometimes this two dimension crossing on another and the only answer to survive through is SUCK IT ALL DUDE! It’s not like going to be like this forever, life isn’t always perfect after all …

Just keep in your mind, it’s difficult being a parent indeed … Please try always feeling fortunate for all you’ve got. Try to take it as a lesson, I would let my future child live whatever the way they want to live as long it is positive, I will try to stay open minded, so any of your child shouldn’t write this kind of essay on internet!!!

P.s: Dedicated to any friends currently in process to be an adult …

The story isn’t about person, it’s about Dunhill Menthol Lights. I used to be a very loyal best friend of it. Been smoking it since nonlegal age of 17 years old. Back in those days its a “it” cigarette, not so many people knows it and considered expensive by some. I found it refreshing, with mild taste of cigarette comes with great menthol taste. Most importantly doesn’t leave a strong bad breath in after taste. It is produce solely by British American Tobacco Indonesia or known as BAT.

Honeymoon does turn sadly when BAT absorbed Bentoel Industry. There’s a time actually when the acquisition in progress Dunhill Menthol Light is even harder to find than a diamond in a rough. Some people even willing to bought at 25.000 IDR for a pack (including me hehehehe) where the normal price is 12.000 IDR. Acquisition done and rumor has it Dunhill production move to Bentoel plant in Malang, East Java. It started easy to find again in the market, taste still the same but in later months the disappointment begun. The taste begun declining and worsen until today. I stop buying it due to change of flavor, the minty lights flavor is turning into burnt paperlike flavor.

Finally I decide to wave goodbye for this product which doesn’t upholds its actual taste. I switch to Marlboro Black Menthol.

So long Dunhill, I dont love you anymore …

The Verdict: I HATE HOW IT TASTE NOW!!!

My Blackberry Internet Services is currently of today. Which leave me a bigger assignment this Sunday afternoon that is INTERCONNECTING. I just started this tumblr and reinstated my blogger account. Interconnecting is a sync between your social life, the way they interact and publish your thoughts you written in one of them. Truly it is magnificent to see how your impression not only occur in real life but in cyberworld by the fact that your social surroundings are scattered throughout this online media world. So now I connect my tmblr to my twitter and facebook, while my blog is connected to my windows live account. Pretty amusing to see it interconnected now …

Cheers to immortality in online media life!

A friend, ummm let’s say a close friend of mine having a USA trip recently. Since i learned that nothing is cheaper than stuff in Indonesia, i started to think that nothing i want from her beside Hershey’s chocolate for me. Then my mom, which is a big fans of St. Ives Scrubs asking if she could grab some St. Ives stuffs.

I browsed the website and discover a new line of Green Tea since i use the scrub that my mom uses too. Without further hesitation i submit list of things that i want her to buy in USA including St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser and Scrub.

She’s back home, handover my orders, i thanked her, i got home and i try it directly.

first the aroma itself isn’t girly or kinky like i found in some cleanser i have tried before. It’s calm and mild in times for aroma.

secondly a small drip of it could cover the entire face

and third point what makes me in love with this product is the afterward, you rinse it with water then you towel you face IT GIVES YOU A COOLING SENSATION!

The cooling sensation is what men wants in their product they use (this is the most common demand for me and other guys i asked) and thankfully St. Ives has it for only 7USD. The claims stated in the website said that it is organic and contains no Paraben trace.

THE VERDICT: I adore this cleanser!!!

Thus makes me gave a 5 stars out of 5 for this product. Well, St. Ives range truly worth to buy in conclusion.

Thank you so much Marializia who bought this stuff for me …

Last night i went to a friend farewell dinner, she is my best friend at college, we were introduced during 1st year in junior high school. Now time travels faster than a blink of an eye. Each of us starts to pursuing our own dream of how we build our career in the future. She picked banking as her path, while i still have no idea what to be hehehehe :D

I remember how fun it was to spent time together in times of academic and non-academic activities during college. Last night in cafe Pisa we had a lot of fun too, we ordered a One-Meter-Pizza in which i manage to eat 6 slice of it (belly alert). Most important thing we took pictures, we chat, and we laugh. Surely i would miss those moments.

Off course i’m grieving for her departure to the as cruel as step-mother capital city of Indonesia. Well even though office life is sucks but surely i  wish her a success in her future endeavor. And still i am thanking for the left over pizza.

Well, this is my first post, i haven’t practically write any form of articles ever since i left hi-school except those ass-signment from lecturers.

I miss those days being a school journalist, so i start writing on this. People said life without a blog is miserable, despite the fact you have organically living things surrounds you that you call family, friend, and lover. I am not expecting any praise or even award for my words then just read as you learn a not-yet magnificent person autobiography.

Thank you for reading if there’s any reader out there.

Once again HELLO WORLD!!!
