Bogor oh Bogor

Finally!

I am officially back to the city, i am back to bogor

Where every good and bad things i learn started here

Where all the relationship i know i build here

This city has become my old habbit

And even though i was not that much hanging around in this city for couple years, but i always feel that Bogor would always be my home, the place where at the end i would landed and save.

Meeting old friends and wasting time around like we used to do doesn’t comfort me enough that we have some good spot right now to build new sinergy

But of course, good things always invite some bad memories, but yeah that is part on taking back your old way right?

So i’m so ready rooting my self back to this one and only city i love (so far),bogor oh bogor, i’m all yours.

Few things i have done to proof myself as bogor citizen :

• Makan di selot (duuh this is the first priority of course!)

Tahu selawi? Yes

Molen? Yes

Mie ayam lendir? YES!!

• Pergi dengan minimal dua kali ganti angkot
• Beli perintilan di ABC
• Makan sop buah di taman kencana
• Pergi pagi dengan gerimis kecil mengiringi
• Jemur baju terus tiba2 hujan turun

gaaah so much to do in my lovely city!

F*cking Old Man

What is ur limitazion in life that could make you have the worst thing to people?

Buat gw pastinya adalah keluarga terutama orang tua.

Beberapa hari yang lalu gw tiba-tiba diingatkan kepada seseorang yang sangat gw benci karna rumus pasti gw di atas, doski meremehkan bapak gw.

Si bapak tua ini dulu, saat gw masih bego dan prosesor gw masih kakek buyutnya pentium, pernah ngomong yg ga enak ttg bokap, DI DEPAN GW.

Kakek itu adalah tipikal orang-orang jaman dulu yang biasa membanggakan materi dan status sosial beliau kepada random people agar orang2 kagum sama dia.

Menurut alkisah sampai hari ini dia adalah salah satu orang sukses di Bogor dan (pastinya) kepongahannya pun udah sebesar tumor dosa dia sama orang2.

Setelah hari itu gw memastikan diri bahwa dia adalah salah satu orang yang tidak termaafkan dosanya, orang yang akan sangat senang gw tertawakan saat dia menderita.

Kakek tua itu tanpa ia sadari telah menebar benih kebencian, mungkin dgn banyak orang, tapi yang paling pasti tertanam di gw.

Gw selalu bisa menahan diri kalau ada orang nyakitin gw atau ngelecehin gw, pada akhirnya mungkin gw cuma akan nangis atau sebel sesaat.

Tapi kalau udah masalah harga diri orang tua, yg adalah darah daging dan inti dari kehidupan yg gw punya, semuanya jadi harga mati.

Mangkanya gw paling ga suka kalau ada mbak2 yang judes kalau nyokap nanya harga barang, warna lain baju, dll. Kayaknya lebih panas hati kalau orang tua gw yang diusik.

i’m no God, i also have things i dislike in this world, including everyone who hurt my parent.

Oh yah dari kakek tua itu gw dapet pelajaran bahwa kita harus selalu berhati-hati saat mengeluarkan opini tentang orang lain, apalagi saat menganggap diri kita lebih tinggi dari orang. maybe for you it's casual but it could be a fire ball to else

Nothing is eternal, your life could be twisted at once when you just blinking.

Si kakek tua membuat gw sadar sekaya apapun orang, sepintar apapun orang, tidak menjamin manners mereka lebih baik dari orang2 yang kedudukan dalam masyarakatnya lebih rendah.

At this point, even i feel a whore has so much more price than him.

See ya old man, in hell!

Funny

It’s funny how sometimes we need people to say thinks we scared the most. The thing that we would like to burried inside forever and pretend that we don’t have.

It’s funny how mostly we see things more clearly when it already gone far away.

it’s funny how life would tease you in its so many ways but you act just like the same. Without knowing that it will affect you differently

It’s funny that sometimes you think you have made the right decision when you just do the opposite

It’s funny how you feel you are the winner and other loose when at the end you’re not the one who holding the trophy

It’s funny how we always act we are mature enough to handle things when we still picking things like a toddler

It’s funny that I, my self, have to write this post just to make me realize that most of the time i regret things i used to brag all the time

It’s funny how at the end i laugh at my own mistake

Is it that funny? Or i just make an excuse like i always do?

When two bestfriend become a lover

Recently i just finished watching “When Harry met Sally”, i know this movie quite old but i heard people share good recommendation about this one.

I’m not usually craving for old movies but because Meg Ryan is the cast, and she teach me to give many second change to her old movie, i watch this with open heart.

I’d rather say Sally met Harry for the first time when he was snogging with one of Sally friend, after that, they traveled to New York for 18 hours. On the road, they share different thought they have, Harry is more like a cynical person when on the other side, Sally is a cheerful one. So they argue about many things from movie, great sex and also how man and woman couldn’t be bestfriend without sex lie on it (that’s what harry says)

So then their life continue, they separate, take different kind of life. But after few years they met again in different situation, still they argue about the best friend thing. After many times they met, and both were unlucky in their love life, they decided to be a friend of other. Hearing, helping and even try to be a matchmaker for each other best friend, but failed (the bestfriends hooked up together at the end)

Harry who become completely different person after his marriage and divorce finally could understand that you can be friends with women without thinking to sleep with them. Sally try to help Harry to heal his broken heart coz she handled separateness with her boyfriend much better.

To sumarize it at the end they fall in love with each other after all the worries and doubt they have.

===

I really love how the movie could describe their friendship so well, like we can see the process on how they get closer but not as romance. And my favourite part would be when harry try to calm Sally down when she heard her ex going to married. The way Harry hug her and comfort her is somehow so romantic for me! :D but the part where they finally sleep together destroy the romance package i enjoy in that scene :/

Some people are lucky enough to be fall in love with their best friend. Because i think when you start your relationship as friend, at the end when you two become a lover you don’t have to hide anything from each other, cos they will take you with all goods and bads you have.

But some people out there might fall in love first before they are being their lover best friend, maybe it work, or maybe not.

So which one you gonna choose first? Being a lover or a friend? :p

and some quote i love in this movie :

• When I buy a new book, I read the last page first. That way, in case I die before I finish, I know how it ends. That, my friend, is a dark side--Harry Burns
• Because no man can be friends with a woman that he finds attractive. He always wants to have sex with her. -- Harry Burns
• You see? That is just like you, Harry. You say things like that, and you make it impossible for me to hate you.--Sally Albright
• I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. -- Harry Burns

Dimana ada ketekunan disitu ada Magnum!

Sebagai anak marketing (yang insya allah akan segera lulus AMIN!) malu rasanya kalau kerjaan gw ngomongin ga jauh dari cinta2an korea2an gosip2an tapi ga pernah sedikitpun curhat tentang ilmu yang hampir empat tahun ini diajarkan oleh dosen2 gw yang baik hati dan tisak sombong.

Karna itulah, gw mencoba nekat untuk bikin tag baru dengan nama...marketing. gw akan mencoba men share apa aja fenomena marketing yang gw liat dan apa intrepertasi yang gw liat dari strateg-strategi pemasaran yang ada itu. Weets tapi tunggu dulu, jangan berharap postingan gw tentang marketing ini akan seperti postingan ahli2 marketing. Biarlah mereka menjadi ahli dan gw menjadi orang sotoy yang menganalisa dengan kemampuan alakadar. Toh gw ngepost di blog gw sendiri, no one gets hurt right?

Fenomena marketing pertama yang teramat gatel banget pengen gw tulis akan gw deskripsikan dalam gambar di bawah ini,

Gw tau saat lo liat gambar ini lo akan berkata (jauh di lubuk hati kecil) “aaaah..” yap fenomena magnum dan kemampuannya mengguncang jagat semesta alam manusia.

True story—ada lho orang yang pernah nyari magnum dari mulai food hall pim, alfamart dan indomaret sepanjang jalan sampaaaai...akhirnya nemu di indomaret daerah tebet! (bukan maksudnya seniat itu tapi emang gw eh salah orang itu mau ke daerah tebet)

Semakin langka magnum semakin orang-orang penasaran pengen coba. Pada akhirnya beli magnum bukan lagi untuk merasakan kenikmatan rasanya tapi lebih untuk memberikan kepuasan karna bisa dapet barang langka ataupun biar bisa ngepost di twitter.. “hmmm emang enak makan magnum sambil nyetir mercy” misalnya.

Kalau diinget-inget waktu jaman gw kecil gw ngga pernah melirik magnum sedikitpun,gw lebih milih untuk beli conello (kalau lagi kaya) atau paddle pop (kalau lagi kere). Pokoknya magnum ngga pernah jadi pilihan. Karna kesannya magnum tuh es krim buat orang-orang yang lebih tua.

Ternyata setelah gw mendapatkan pendidikan yang lebih tinggi gw baru sadar memang magnum memposisikan dirinya sebagai es krim premium. Es krim yang tidak sembarang orang bisa beli tetapi es krim yang membutuhkan pengorbanan lebih untuk membelinya (dalam hal ini merogoh saku lebih dalam) . gw inget omongan salah satu manager di Nestle yang menggambarkan magnum sebagai sarana indulge bagi konsumennya. Dengan mengkonsumsi magnum mereka tidak lagi mengkhawatirkan hal lain, yang mereka harus lakukan hanyalah menikmati setiap gigit magnum yang mereka konsumsi.

Mungkin sebagai sarana indulge itulah iklan es krim baru menggambarkan seorang wanita yang diperlakukan layaknya seorang ratu dan dielu-elukan oleh banyak orang. Nah terlepas dari enak enggaknya es krim magnum, promosi yang dilakukannya cukup berhasil. Kalau produk lain biasanya mendistribusikan barangnya terlebih dahulu baru lah melakukan kegiatan promosi, Magnum sebaliknya. Sehingga kelangkaan magnum di pasaran banyak dikatakan sebagai buruknya pendistribusian es krim. Padahal kelangkaan itu sendiri merupakan bagian dari strategi magnum dan sukses menciptakan Word Of Mouth di masyarakat.

Nah balik lagi ke true story sebelumnya, saat akhirnya orang itu dan nyokapnya menikmati magnum penuh pengorbanan di dalam mobil, nyokap orang itu nyeletuk, “Mungkin Magnum sengaja ya neng es krimnya ngga di jual dalam jumlah banyak, biar orang ga cepet bosen, biar orang harus nyari-nyari dulu baru bisa makan”

Hmm itu juga mungkin bisa menjadi salah satu manfaat kelangkaan magnum bagi perusahaan. Konsumennya tidak dihauskan oleh kehadiran magnum jangka pendek, tapi dalam jangka waktu yang lebih lama, karena makan magnum butuh ketekunan (menyusuri mini market) dan pengorbanan (karna ga jarang abang es krim jual magnum ampe 15rb) berbeda dengan nyari paddle pop yang terkesan murahan dan jual diri banget karna ada dimana-mana dalam jumlah banyak.

So long Magnum, smoga ampe kakek nenek pamor mu masih tetap bertahan!

every good thing must come to an end

Adam couple ends wgm

After 1 year 3 months they finally wrap it

And then my boat is sinking, my lights are off and my life in kpopscene would never be the same.

This is maybe sound too much but that is how much i feel about them.

Gw inget pertama kali dikenalkan adam couple ama yuni (yang bahkan sekarang udah bukan fans) dan bagaimana adam couple menemani hari2 gw thypus

Gw inget forum soompi yang pertama kali gw datangin dan akhirnya setiap hari secara berkala gw habiskan waktu disana untuk baca dan ketawa ngeliat komen orang2

Gw inget pertama kali gw akhirnya berani ngepost setelah berbulan2 jadi pembaca setia, waktu itu gw sedang ada di kebun di Cipetir dan ada troll yang tiba2 ngejelek2in adam couple di forum, so then i stand up for them.

Since then, i found my family in kpop there, kemanapun gw melanglang ataupun website kpop lain yang gw datengin pada akhirnya gw selalu balik ke forum itu. I’ve bookmarked them along with my twitter, facebook,tumblr and other PERSONAL web i used to visit.

Adam couple had made me feel so many things

I feel like a person who is fall in love everytime i see them together’

I was so much obsessed with them that i was believe they are real

As time goes by, i begin to realize they’re not. They will forever be happy couple ONLY inside WGM. So then i began to scared. That they will end and i will forever loose the love i used to see.\

I’m in my lowest point right now that my brain even stop working and what i do just cry and cry

Pernah nonton sinetron yang pemeran utamanya sakit kanker? (chelsea olivia kalo ga salah yang main) dan setiap hari keluarganya ketakutan dia tiba2 berhenti bernapas? Setiap hari di dalam hati mereka berharap hari itu ga akan pernah datang tapi mereka tau cepat atau lambat akan datang?

That is exactly what i feel on watching adam couple.

I love them a little bit too much that i even relate all my activities in kpop scene based on things that related to them.

How i finally love 2AM and Brown Eyed Girl

I just want to say i love them so much and i will never forget all the joy they bring for me.

and this is a song that spinning in my head after the news, it's over by Sondre Lorche

PS: Some people might laugh,it's okay, jokes on me now.
