Sampingan Jek!

Hell..., I'm supposed to be on vacation for a week. But yet, against my better judgement I took a side job offer from Novi, a friend of mine.
It was nothing big, just translating some travel brochure. Ussualy I split the work (or throw the whole load) with Ferdy (sorry I left you out on this one big guy). But this time I took it all myself.
And now it's finally done! Some 20 pages of travel brochure written some in English, other in Indonesia. And it cost me 2 days of free time! Damn! Never thought it would take that long....
But I think it's worth it. According to my calculation, I just earn around 1.2 million rupiahs (yippie... that's more than half my monthly salary!). But that's my calculation. Novi haven't edited it yet. Still I'm expecting at least Rp 500.000.
Besides that one, I'm also making some money by selling Jack D, Black Jhonnie, and Chivas whisky. It's not that profitable, but still it means extra cash.

Christmas Aftermath

So Christmas' just two days ago and I think it's save for me to say that inspite of no Christmas tree, or Carols, or wrapped up surprizes, it hasn't been a very bad Christmas.
I had a wonderful Christmas Eve though it strated out with some heated argument with Cup-Cake. The night ended with the two of at the church, hardly praying but truely enjoying ourselves. After that it's the usual hand shaking ritual with old friends, saying "Merry Christmas".
After that I drove Cu-Cake home and went back to church for some after-mass party. The menu consisted of beer, some coctails, and my long lost favorite Saksang (Dog meat with spicy seasoning, woof....woofff!!!).
Well the should have ended then and there (around 2 AM), but I just had to stay to play some card. My little indulgence made stay at the party till almost 4 AM and inevitably lead to another fight with Cup-Cake (we fought quite often lately).
After we sort it out, me and Cup Cake went to Karin's place for some Christmas-get-together barbeque. The food there was great but the main feature was a bottle of wine and a bottle of Champagne, that our host has been kind enough to provide. I also brought my little concogtion, a bottle of Chivas whisky. You can say that the combination of food and drink was enough to make everyone merry and bright!
I still got some barbeque planned for new year eve. Hope it will be just as fun!

Wish it would snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas...
With every Christmas Card I write...

2 days before Christmas and still no tree in my house...
I haven't even played any Christmas tune lately. Somehow, Christmas just seem to have lost its meaning to me. For the first time in 5 years, i haven't got any present wrap up for my Cup-cake.
Oh well.... at least I can still hold her tight if every thing else gone wrong...
In the mean time I'm gonna keep on dreaming of a white Christmas.

Merry Christmas to All of You!

Need a wake up call?

I'm the kind of person who loves to sleep late. Even when I go to bed around 9 or 10 PM, I'd usually found myself awake around 12 PM or 1 AM for no obvious reason. As a result, i often find it quite difficult to wake up in the morning. No amount of clock alarm or my cell phone reminder, or even wake up calls from cup cake can get me off my slumber.
All save one...
The chorus of about 2 dozen kindergarden-ers who happens to enjoy the first part of their education right next door. Every morning around 8-9 AM they would start either chanting, singing, or howl for kingdom come. The last thing they haven't tried is yodeling. Pray they never would get the idea...

Creativity Hang Over

After 3 days of marathon brainstormings, several dozens of layouts and about a hundred headlines, taglines, and endlines....
Deadline will be dreadfully welcome.

You Killed Her!

You BITCH! She was my child and you killed her! You were supposed to stand by her side, by my side! You were supposed to fight for her!

Sure she's not perfect, but she had the quality and she will be beautiful, if only you'd let her grow. If only...

Fuck bitch, you were there right beside me when she was born. Hell..., you even lent a hand. And more..., we were supposed to be a team and support each other. But you abandon me every time, just as the going get rough. And you abandon her, just because some two-time-loser sounded like her.

Shit bitch, where is your faith in her? Where's your faith in me? Where's your faith in us, in what we've done?

It's Friday!!!!!!

And theme song for every Friday is....

KISS
I Want to Rock and Roll All Night
~Stanley/ Simmons

You show us everything you've got
You keep on dancin' and the room gets hot
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You say you wanna go for a spin
The party's just begun, we'll let you in
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'

I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day

You keep on saying you'll be mine for a while
You're lookin' fancy and I like your style
You drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You show us everything you've got
Baby, baby that's quite a lot
And you drive us wild, we'll drive you crazy
You keep on shoutin', you keep on shoutin'

I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite and party every day
I wanna rock and roll all nite...

Mumbling about love...

Is it love, if you never see your lover?
But then, love has no bounderies. No matter how far, no matter how long gone. If it's true love nothing matter, even not seeing you lover.
Now how bout my own love...
I love her and everyday without her turn my love into anger. Not of her though...
It's anger of my own inability to find my love...

Oh Mary, the holy mother, I wish to see my lover
a second, a day, it daoesn't matter
for a true love is what i have for her
a true love that will never waver
