me and my thesis

me and my supervisor

me, supervisor and one judge. 

Hahaha, i don't know how to reveal it with a good grammar, pardon my poor English skill, but all i wanna say is i'm official a Bachelor of Psychology. Yeah, it sounds better than Sarjana Psikologi in Indonesia. But it doesn't make me less happy. Cihuy! It also tells why i abandoned this blog for a month! A month without any single post. But now, i'm back, with some posts for tonight, which means i'm still alive, people. Hahaha. I gained weight, yeah same old stories, but don't you miss me grumble about it? *peace! I have managed time with a friend to start gym this Thursday. I hope i can make it, without any excuse. God, please guide me. Hihihi.

Anddd, my judicium was done last Friday. I got an A on my thesis defense. Super double happiness! One lecture has asking me to journalize my thesis. Maybe i'll do it, but let me ask my supervisor first. Anyway, with or without that journal, i'm beyond happiness with this new degree. I've done my best for these 4 years and i hope years ahead will treat me well. To be honest i don't have exact plan of what am i going to do after graduation. I pray for my future, but for now, i only want to go home. Maybe i'll take a master degree, or work. We'll see. Don't afraid bloggie, i'll spill the beans later. I just wanna share my happiness now. Lalalala :)

birthday dinner

 

birthday dinner with my beloved ones. boyfriend, bestfriend and brother. we went to one cafe in town with city and beach as the view. to be honest, i want to spend the night just with him. but, the situation made us 4 together in one table. indonesia-malaysia were playing in final  AFF at the moment. we watched nothing but just hearing the noise from another guests while blowing candles and eating my blueberry cheesecake as my birthday cake. thanks for them. i suppose this will be one of the best birthday night in my life. i'm blessed.  

welcome to 2011

Happy New Year 2011

I felt so blessed. I have my spirit full tank now. I'm gonna enjoy 2011 as much as i did in 2010. Although i'm gonna facing many many tough days and struggle while pursuing my own happiness (read: bachelor degree). No worries, cause i'll be fine. I just know that. I love my life and everything within. So, 2011, impress me more. 
God Bless you all :)

Mamon's Mini Concerto

I had a terrific night with friends yesterday. One of my close friend in Jakarta, Mamon, invited us to see his first concert, with his choir, Vita Voxa Choir. They were celebrating their birthday and if i'm not mistaken it's their 7th birthday hehehe.. Congrats to Vita Voxa, so does Mamon!

guess where is Mamon? hehehe

Syl, Ing, Loloy, Thio, Mamon, me and Desi

Overall it was a great mini concert. Not in a big hall, around 400-ish guests came and they had strict rules. They weren't allow us to come in and out every time, but after one song has finished. Well, not a good thing for me because i arrived first and others' tickets were with me, so i was out and in for several times. Yeah, we came for 3 different sessions. Hahaha.. But we enjoyed it. Thanks to Mamon. 

bumiku sayang bumiku malang

Bumiku, selamat ulang tahun :)

Yah, sayangnya di kampus saya ga ada kegiatan apa2 tuh. Sejauh yang saya tahu juga memang tidak ada yang begitu spesial dalam memperingati hari bumi ini. Hanya starbucks pake promosi gratis minuman jika beli tumbler ato mug mereka, tapi ga tau beneran apa ga. Saya ga punya waktu ngecek soalnya di tengah hari yang super dagdigdug ini (alasan pribadi kawan, maapkan). Ah, saya tau juga kalau di Bali ada acara Earth Day di GWK, kalau tak salah loh ya. Tapi di Jakarta sendiri gitu2 aja. Dari tadi mantengin gosip dan berita, ga ada yang spesifik dengan hari ini. Beneran hari bumi ga sihhh? Kenapa ada earth hour yang heboh matiin lampu 1 jam, sampai teman saya bilang saya harusnya bawa obor kemana2, hadehhh.. Kenapa dibedakan ya gerakan earth day sama earth hour? Aneh sih ya?

Tapi yang pasti sih saya sendiri mau menghormati earth day hari ini. Tapi sayangnya di badan yang ga sampai 160cm ini dan di kamar yang hanya 3x3 meter ini, banyak banget pemborosan yang saya lakukan. Saya membuat bumi menangis dan jika bisa di-list-in, inilah hal2 standar yang membuat bumi menangis ala saya.

1. Saya ga pernah matiin lampu kamar mandi. Tentu ini tidak berlaku ketika saya di rumah. Ini hanya berlaku di kamar kos saya di Jakarta. Saya merasa hampa tidak ada lampu. Saya benar2 menyalakannya terus, bahkan jika saya pulang 2 bulan ke Manado. Kalian ga salah baca. Saya selalu menghidupkan lampu kamar mandi. Entah untuk tiap mitos, dan untuk membantu saya tidak terlalu kegelapan kala tidur. Maapkan saya bumi.

2. Saya tidak pernah matiin tv juga. Tv saya selalu hidup, hanya di power-off. Namun, jika saya pergi lebih dari 2 hari biasanya saya matikan. Em, jika saya cukup ingat mematikan ya. Maapkan saya bumi.

3. Saya sering mencharge handphone berhari2. Bukan dengan handphone tentu saja, namun chargernya masih nangkring di colokan. Kata teman saya itu juga masih membuang2 listrik. Bener ga sih? Kan ga ada handphone-nya. Tapi, apapun itu, maapkan saya bumi.

4. Saya selalu mencolok dispenser saya. Tidak ditiap saya ingin minum teh atau coklat. Tapi selalu terpasang. Apakah itu berbahaya juga? Maapkan saya bumi.

5. Saya selalu mencetak slip atm saya. Saya pelupa dan mohon itu sebagai excuse yang baik untuk bumi. Setidaknya kertas itu saya simpan, dibanding dengan orang yang mencetak slip dan langsung membuangnya. Iya ga, bumi? Tapi, maapkan saya bumi.

6. Saya membiarkan laptop hidup seharian tanpa menggunakannya. Itu dikarenakan sejumlah hal yang kadang diluar keinginan saya. Namun, maapkan saya bumi.

7. Saya anak pencinta post-it dan tulisan bagus, terkadang dikala kreativitas timbul, maka post-it adalah salah satu mainan saya. Untuk post bagus dari internet, biasanya saya print untuk saya tempel di area kamar. Dan itu memakai kertas baru. Hmm, maapkan saya bumi.

Itu deh yang saya bisa ingat malam ini. Maapkan saya bumi karena saya masih saja mengecewakanmu. Ah, tapi jangan sedih. Saya banyak mengabadikan gambarmu. Malam ini saya membongkar foto lama di tahun 2007. Bumiku di daerah Sumatera Utara amat indah. Inilah sebagian foto2mu, bumi. Enjoy it at you day!

di belakang adekku itu pohon pinus semuanya

pemandangan dari mobil ke arah Danau Toba sore2

bukit yang mengintari Danau Toba

pemandangan dari puncak Brastagi

Dirimu indah bumi. Tetaplah mempesona kami. Kami menghargaimu. Kiranya penghargaan itu belum terlambat kau terima. Sekali lagi, selamat ulang tahun, bumi.

turn off the lights

 please turn off your lights tonight for life

Minahasa Trip with lomo

On last holiday, i re-visited some objects on Minahasa with my family, minus Sintong. First we went to Danau Linow, do you ever know about it? Local people said it " Danau Tiga Warna " due to it has 3 colors. For me it's just because the sun effect with the lake's own color. Kinda expensive to enter the place, about Rp25000 for each person, but you'll be served with tea or coffee. It's my second visit and i remembered well on my first visit we don't have to pay before enter it. Hmmm, here's the Danau Linow.

Danau Linow's look with lomo

Then, we stopped by some Rumah Makan Terapung to have lunch and feed fishes there. I loved to feed fishes and also enjoyed them in another look, like Mujair Bakar Rica or Woku Belanga. Hmm, nyum nyum..( I didn't take picture with food, we're too starving to do that hahaha)

 my Huting on Rumah Makan Terapung

At last, we went to Bukit Kasih Kanonang. I forgot when was my last visit here. In high school? Btw, this place was worse now. Less visitors, uncaring local people (it's not about money oriented), bad management, yahh, what more can i explain? But i still can reach the top. And the highest top which i've never reach before, or it was my first time to see it? It was so relieve to be on the top, fresh air, free to shout everything, so peaceful place to have some prays there. 

stoped and enjoyed the view

sulphur

 the view for the top

It was a nice Minahasa Trip above all. One thing i still remembered, how my gentle uncle hold my hand, like when i was a kid years ago, to make me feel safe and keep me away from slippery road (still land road) , and it really happened. And how i couldn't walk normally in two days because i was too exhausted. Poor me hehehe.. But sometimes, i'll go there again. I love my last Minahasa Trip :)

happy birthday, opung!

Yeah, though i've celebrated it a month ago, I haven't publish any picture from it's celebration here. Well, it was a big celebration for my grandma's 75th birthday. We all gathered together, from my daddy's side. On the church we sang Di Doa Ibuku for my opung (grandma in Bataknese), directed by my cousin. You'll find me easily on these pictures below. I looked brighter because the white make up hehe..

sang the song

opung and (almost) all her grandchildren

welcoming 2010

I just planned to celebrate this New Year Eve with my family, except babeh. Mom and I cooked our favourite dishes and also bought some fireworks to be played tonight after church. While waiting to 00.00 am, here's me and my whole family wanna greet you all,

Wishing you all another great year.
May life treat us all better next year.
God bless us all :)

sudah kepala dua

Whuah, saya capek banget hari ini. Keluar dari siang, perjalanan cuma 2 lokasi aja, tapi asli capek hehe.. Apa pengaruh kepala dua ya? Walah, kalau baru kepala dua dah capek gini, gimana kepala tiga, empat dst ya? haha.. Btw, happy birthday to myself! I am officially 20 years old today. Dan saya melewatkannya bersama orang2 yang saya sayang dan tidak disangka dapat segini banyak hadiah. Wah, terima kasih semua yaa.. Lucu banget, saya malah ga nyangka dapat hadiah. Datang cuma untuk ngambil 1 hadiah, eh pulang2 saya malah bawa dua plastik gede hadiah, dan semuanya serba EEYORE :):):) Ga perlu diurai ya apa aja, nebak aja sendiri. Meskipun gitu, karena hari ini papa saya ga ikut merayakan ultah saya, jadinya hadiah beliau yang saya peluk kemana2 hehe.. Nanti setelah teman saya upload foto2nya, baru saya ganti ya. Yang ini masih yang baru tersedia soalnya. Ini mereka.

atas : anak2 baru-ku:)

bawah : kado pengganti babeh hehe

makan (teramat) besar ><

Saya sama si adek ganteng kembali menggila hari ini. Kami menghabiskan kepiting jumbo berdua! Mamamia lezatos dan kenyangnyosss hahaha. Pas bayar saya yang shock sendiri. Okei, saya yang bayar semua makan siang tadi, harusnya kan sih mama ya? haha.. Ini jadi kesannya saya yang bayar, yah, meskipun duit si babeh. Saya puasss:) Saya amat sangat berbahagia hari ini. Terima kasih untuk semuanya:) Terima kasih atas 20 tahun yang indah ini :)

antenna's current position

First, i gotta admit that i am not a TV person. It will make you easier to understand my words in this post hehehe. No, i won't write a heavy and long post, just as long as you have watched TV, you'll be understand. I have an 14" TV in my room. Most of the time i switch it off. The only reason was i don't have it's remote. Serious. It's not my TV, i got it from a man, when my dad had a bussiness with him. And i don't thing it's remote, because the only channel i remembered the programs and i liked it was only TransTV. Please trust me hehehe..

But, i changed my mind. About a month ago, i decided to search its remote. I've been searched actually, but not that hard. I even went to Mangga Dua Mall, just to looking for a remote, for a TV from nowhere brand, called EIKI. Please trust me again, that brand is truly exist in this TV world, and i just found one girl, who'd know the brand, and sold the remote! I was blessed to meet her and her small store. Tadaaa, it's work good on my tv!!

Today, i still not a tv person. But, i have remote on my hand, so i can change its channel. I even put it next to my bed, with handphone and AC remote, to make me easier to switch it off when i wanna sleep or to switch it on when i wake up, to watch gossip hehehe.. Yeah, Insert is my friend who accompany my shower and breakfast time. When i go home after class, i changed the channel. But, i got problem with that. I have to utak atik the antenna, before i got a bright look. Like a win-win solution. I can't watch all channel with bright look. So, i gotta make a priority of my daily tv programs. Like today.

 antenna's current position

Channels :

1. I don't know the channel's name, but it's bright.

2. Global TV : well, at least i knew if it's not Daniel on tv. (Yeah, not by his face but his voice hehehe)

3. Space Toon : if i were a kid, i'll sit in front of tv everysecond i can. It's brightttt and clearrrr!

4. TransTv : always as bright as i can say :p

5. The worst channel. It's blue screen! hahaha

6. O channel : yah, not bad

7. TPI : good.. good.. good

8. TVRI : a bit bright

9. Indosiar : hwuah, it's not bright, though i'm hoping it'll brighter in the afternoon huhuhu

10. SCTV : worse channel

11. RCTI : yeah, not as bad as SCTV hehe

12. ANTV : yah, like O channel. But i knew none program from this channel hehe

13. Trans7 : it doesn't make Tukul looks more handsome, but at least he's not "kabur" hehe. He's my best friend in sleeping time x)

14. Jak Tv : bright

15. Metro Tv : i even can named the politicians hehehe

16. TV One : so much bright

Sixteen programs, huff, enough for me actually. I'm just too lazy to utak atik the antenna, so, i back to my old habit, just watch the current channel, have no will to take a remote and change it hahaha.. Lazy me :p

huting dah jadi teen

Hehehe, adek bungsu saya ulang tahun hari ini, dah jadi teen deh dia, dah umur 13 tahun aka thirteen! Dah kelas 2 SMP, ntar lagi SMA, trus kuliah deh. Ntar tumbuh kumis2an, yang sedikit menjijikkan (baca: menurut saya), trus kaki dia tambah gede, secara sekarang aja dah 40, hey, mau sebesar apa kakimu di usia 23 tahun, hah? hahahaha.. Trus, dia dah pacaran ntar, waduh, saya dilangkahi dong ntar kalo dia dah mulai2 mau pacaran x)

Dia tuh dandy loh, gaya2 gitu, lebih memperhatikan penampilan. Dia suka selera saya, biasanya nanya gaya ke saya, terutama kalo saya ada di rumah. Malu kalo dimanjain di depan umum, huhhhh, ga keren ah kalo dibagian itu. Mungkin karena dia bungsu, dia mau keliatan sedikit "abang" jangan keliatan banget dia itu "adek" ya? Mmm, wajar2, lagian saya juga berusaha mengurangi keinginan saya untuk nyuap2 makanan ke mulut dia, waduh, secara kita bedanya cukup jauh (7tahun), bobo bareng trus sampe sekarang, gimana saya ga sayang banget sama dia?

Mau bikin dia happy gampang. Seperti cowo pada umumnya, buat dia senang lewat perut alias makanan kesukaannya. Jadi deh, tiap masakan saya dia itu penyicip setia, papamama masih sedikit under estimate, tapi kedua jagoan saya melahap habis semuanya. Gimana ga senang punya si buncit satu ini? hehehehe.. Trus, kalo kita nge-date berdua tripnya dah kebaca tuh, makan di Ta Wan atau Solaria (favoritnya Chicken Cordon Blue yang menurut saya amaaaatttt gede), nonton film yang sudah disepakati bersama (minim adegan dewasa, yang disimpulkan film2 superhero gitu lah ya), trus ngupi ke J.Co. Kita berdua ga ngupi, tapi ya itu, mesan minum Ice Chocolate berdua, trus makan Glazzy deh. Itu kencan romantis loh hehehe.. Kadang kita bertiga, enak ya? Meskipun tak jarang abis sampe rumah perang lagi! hahahaha..

Banyak lah yang bisa diceritain tentang huting saya yang satu ini. Huting itu nama panggilan saya ke dia. Semua orang, khususnya orang Batak, pasti nanya kenapa saya panggil dia Huting. Arti Huting sendiri itu sebenarnya kucing loh. Dulu karena dia suka ngekor2 kemana mama pergi, jadi kayak kucing yang suka ngendus2 tuannya datri belakang kan? Jadi deh, saya manggil dia Huting sampe sekarang. Nah, bukti dia ngekor saya, banyakan sih saya suka diekorin hehe, ini dia benda yang saya pilih buat ultah dia. Dia suka dan janji bakalan pakai mulai hari ini. So, happy birthday, Huting :) i miss you..

punya Huting dan punya saya :)

the last Earth Hour

I forgot the exact date of Earth Hour. The thing happened on that day was we had to switch off our lamps, or any electrical thingy to save earth. Well, me myself didn't do it. I just lived in 3x3metres room, without an emergency lamp, so if i switched off my lamps (there's just 2 lamps in my room, the other one is in my bathroom), i saw nothing and breathless. Besides, i didn't use many electrical thingy in room. Just AC, tv, laptop, water dispenser and 2 lamps. Not that much, right? So, i switched nothing off but tv (i am not a tv fan) on that hour. But i believe even if i didn't switch off the lamps, all over the world had done their job. Like this.

ps : i am amaze and promise in the next Earth Hour, i'll switch off my err.. AC, tv and lamps (i'd already had an emergence lamp now)

late post : last celebration

While waiting for my sister to upload photos of Sintong's birthday celebration last night, i searched my old photos also. I found these photos, taken on my birthday celebration last year. As i said that we could choose the place to eat out, i chose Sedona Restaurant to had these fancy lunch. Daddy was a bit shock to see the total price *giggles. But, overall it's good, to served any Western food in Manado. Here's what we ordered :

Sintong's and my main courses

pizza and salad (in front of daddy)

 

the best part : the desserts :)

Can't wait for my next birthday celebration on the next two months *giggles over and over again while dreaming of a great birthday celebration.

my SOS's bday

Today is my oldest brother's birthday. In one post i wrote his name, it was an uncorrect name actually, because i mixed both of my brother's name. His real name is Sintong Oktavianus Siahaan. That's why i made it short with SOS. He also used it as his yahoo account, if i'm not mistaken. And today, he is seventeen! Time flew so fast, suddenly he's in his last year in high school and will enter college next year. He'll be on the same life stage with me, as a college student! My God! I gotta finish my college soon,or he'll catch me or leave me. Well, i guess it won't happen hahaha..

So, as our usual tradition in home, when one of us has birthday, we can choose to eat wherever we want. Me myself, haven't celebrate birthday with friends, just once, with my bestfriend and ex boyfriend. Overall, due to my birthday date is a strange date, i can't make any party, no one will come but families hehe.. My brothers too. It's not a tradition to celebrate birthday with friends, so today they just wanna had lunch and dinner out. Some of his close friends will join the families tonight. Mom called me after they got home after lunch and Sunday service, she don't want me to envy Sintong hehe.. Well, mom, i am not that childish, though i miss you all a lot! But, i know you'll remember me in every celebration in Manado:) I am okay here, and still have one more exam, and i even haven't touched it hahaha.. I hope i can manage my exam tomorrow before have some fun on the next day. Oh, God bless me.. Bless also my brothers and parents. I am about helping my brother to enter his dream college, i hope i can get any replies really sooner. I just can't wait until i get it hehe..

- i post it from my phone, i'll edit and post some pictures after my exam.. See yaa:)

Idul Fitri 1430 H

Just dropped by tonight to say
