MONEY DILEMMA

Talking about money is a never ending story. I want this, I want that and there's no money to make all of that happen. This issue has always irritating me in my most entire life. I think yesterday was the climax one. Don't wanna give the details, I just wanna write some solutions that fits me. I should be ashamed still stuck with financial problem and I have to learn managing my own money at this age.

MONEY
=======================

Money is anything that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value, and occasionally, a standard of deferred payment. (source: wikipedia)

specification:
easy to spent; but really hard to earn

solutions:

1. do not being an impulsive buyer; just get what you really need, decrease what you want, and thrift store kinda help me lol
   
2. do some saving; watch your income and expenses, remain amount of money periodically. After that anytime you can spend it but wisely of course.
   
3. do business; Money cannot fall from the sky and it was no good for you just expecting from your parents. Earn money from your own is a must. Destroy your lazy-feel and start the business with full spirit.
   

Aarrrrggggggghh I really need to work it out for sure. So, who's with me?

kissing the death

got to be careful people, if you're on the road

Carelessness was a good friend of mine until today. And yes, it was no good for me neither for you too. Moreover, this carelessness thing that could occur to us and might cause us loose our precious life really is happening to me. In another word, I've been kissing the death for several times.
I could have died while:

• I was texting a short message when i crossed the road, then motorcycle almost hit me.
• I was riding a bike with full speed then a huge truck almost crashed into me.
• I was screwing around beside the deborah's driver while i slept peacefully and almost endanger all of the bus' passengers including me.
• I was crossing the railway in such hurry then the express train came down really soon and almost killed me.

I could have died too not just because of my own carelessness. I was having twice of car accidents with my family and we all now here safe and sound without losing part of our bodies. Thank God that I'm still alive, that my family still alive. God loves me more than the death, so I'm still here. Hope my carelessness could turn out to be my carefulness. I'm not planning to waste my life just because of it. There are much greater things I could, should, would do in this world. I was expecting that I could live my life to the fullest. If God calls me to meet the death, I have to die with respect and honor that I could fulfill my targets of life and giving the best of it. Amen.
Sounds like bullshit though, but I really am serious on that. So maybe I better just stop talking and do action for the sake of it (praying a lot will help too).


p.s: Hey, what about you? I'm curious about other experiences in life that you've got. Let's share it everyone, tell me about it :)

failure for fly

I've said that I would have gone to Sentul City on Sunday feb 28th, of course for riding the "HOT AIR BALLOON". And yes, I did it!! Not only me, but with Peter, Steven aaaaannd now with my youngest sister, Mayang. It was cloudy when we arrived there and about an hour after that, the rain dropped. It was just a little drizzle though but suddenly they stopped the event. I thought it was not allowed to fly at such a condition like that even only drizzling. We already stood in the line and queue for it. Thus, me and my sister were failure for fly. I didn't mind though, cause our ability to pay was just at 100k and all we're gonna get just flew at average height (not so high enough compare to the building next to it). yeah, just floating -_- BUUUUT, if you had Rp 5million you could fly for an hour and went around the site. We decided to get out from there and wanted to eat sate kiloan. But first, we had to take a long walk (we did it twice first to reach the main site then the second to go back to the car) cause there's no parking lot and even this event provided buses for visitors, it was too full to get in. We postponed sate kiloan and headed to Bogor and took dinner time at Gumati. Pia apple pies went along with us back to Jakarta :)
Heeey, what should i say for the last word? It was nice to have quality time with your siblings and family. Rare moments i should have said. my family didn't like to go to holiday for years. My next agenda now is asking my family to go to real holiday for sure. Oh not to forget, the presence of my beloved boyfie, Peter completed the day ;p
what about you ppl??

Oh, here are some pics of it:

he looked ugly and i was absolutely pretty, don't you think so?? hihi


Mayang Kamilia Muslim, she didn't like being captured to the camera

Steven

i yelled "Mister, mister" to this bule and he waved his hand on me ahahahaha ;p

BREAK MY DAILY ROUTINE

Woohoooo, it's been a very while im not updating, over a month after the last post!! Really I didn't intend to abandon this blog, but what should I say? Time seemed too tight for me. Even now I didn't have any kind of activities that made me busy. For me, the 'busy' word depends with who you're talking to. Has anyone agree with me? Hehee you know, everything I did was just made effin' assignments, jumping mall to malls for movie theater with peter, literally ANYTHING to kill the time. The thing is, I've been through the mid term test (horraaayyyy) and after the test already been done, I got time now. Just sit in front of the computer and type type type ehehehe. All i wanna do is just to break my daily routine, in a good way of course.

Today is Sunday. Nothing special, except there will be my fave cartoon of mine, Inu Yasha for an hour and a half at Global TV hehehe. but today is Sunday at the fourth week of March. Yeah, time for "CAR FREE DAY" everyone!! I really wanted this event could be my sweet escape for the following months ahead, yes a way to break my routine from being super lazy at Sunday. Unfortunately I couldnt make it this time cause I'm afraid I'll be sooo damn tired if this noon (I hope the weather will be friendly), I can really go to Sentul City to see the first time hot air balloon in indonesia!! *crossing finger*

Allow me to tell you my very first experience for bike time at the main street of Jakarta when the previous car free day at 28 february. Me and Peter attempted to do some exercise that can get us sweaty for the sake of our healthy (I love these words hahaa) and another good reason was for hunting photos causes I wanted to send some for photo competition if the result were great enough. We had accompany for the tour, Sony and Steven. So I was riding on my city bike, from Radio Dalam through Sudirman and Thamrin. Peter and his friend Sony used skateboard for the ride, and Peter's lil bro, Steven, took bike same like me. Peter often held on my bike to sliding off the road, so did sony to steven's. Hard for them I guess, skateboard is a non-friendly vehicle for the pavement streets. It's a not so smooth for them to be through and Steven complained about the wheels he got, not so big enough cause it's a seli (speda lipat). luckily, my ring wheels' bike are big enough. hihii

Radio dalam till senayan already made me dizzy cause I just had small portion for cereal in the morning. But after I took an amount of water and we got relaxed awhile, I could still make it, through Sudirman and reaching Monas sounds interesting at that time (couldn't make it though). We finally reached 'Welcoming Statue' in Thamrin. And the street was so crowded with various people. Check out my photos to see.

i like the tone. but look at the right side :(

four-wheel bicycle ;p

I was left behind by the three musketeers since I took pictures and then the guy from JAK-TV came right to me. He said he wanted to interview people who took city bike at car free day. It was pretty rare someone using this kind of type. So I've been asked about city bike, like; what's the benefit, why am I using that thing, etc. I simply said straight answer cause I need to hurry to find the others. After said apology to the guy, I left. I thought my part at the interview will be deleted for sure. But a friend of mine said she saw me about two weeks after that on the channel and there's no such thing like cutting my stupid part :(

you could see so many stands when car free day

After that, I found the others and we continued our journey until the crossroad after Sarinah and decided to back where it started, go home. we saw many interesting things at our way home.

We were very very tired. My legs felt like it could loose from the place where it used to be hahaaa. We rested a few time and i really wanted to eat. Mcd Senayan had been choose for the rest and eat area. It's the right place for cooling off, the air conditioner and the food calmed me. I decided to go home soon after finishing the meals and peter accompanied me too to Radio Dalam. The rest would be waiting in Mcd so Peter could pick them up after taking the car which putted around my neighbors. I went home again by my own feet for operating the pedal bike. all I can say was ~~hhaaaahhhh~~ after seeing my house front door.

really ~tired


held on the bike is just like this


peter.peter.

The round trip with bike was like a self fulfillment, such a relief to me. I knew i still can ride even I already been exhausted and after all, I succeed on it!! At that time, I just had high motivation at myself. That's the best part I think. It was nice to have that kind of feeling since Im not used to have it for doing something (too bad for me) oh not to forget, this is the very first time in 2010 i could sweat so many. And the worst part of it was about my skin that looked three level darker than before!! i really dont like that. i forgot to wear sunscreen. how foolish i am.

meal time

So I'm very interested about what you will do to break your daily routine. It's a nice way thing to do if you get bored, needed sweet escape, find some inspirations, or maybe just not being you for a moment. im eager to know it. for me now, riding bike is on my break the routine list hihiih :)

excuse me everyone, let me through
