Teardrop

It was just a week ago, I cried when talking about my mom to a friend of mine. Today, a scene in a movie "Crossing Border" reminded me of my mom, and I cried again. A girl misses her mom and calls her right away to thank everything the mom has provided. It is because of her she could go to school and do many things.

Mom, you know that you are everything for me. You are my superwoman. I love you so much. I hope you are just fine. Miss you to death.

Your son.

Me, a Partner, and a Kid

"You need to get a life partner," was what Marry said to me.

Linden, today, yes Saturday, May 20, 2012 - (before it was ruined by the next impression of the family)

It seemed like a perfect picture of a family that I have been expecting. I went out the car and this figure just took a 5 year-old boy with him. We all just got in to a store to buy some ice cubes. This figure and I held this boy's hands, and we all walk together, making a straight line. 

I couldn't have been happier than that if it was real, having a partner and maybe one or two kids.

My Apology to My Teacher

Dear my teacher,

I am so sorry that I am not paying my attention to your lecture. The class is boring because you talk a lot. Today I don't sleep in class. Instead, I am playing with my laptop. I am trying to make myself good at graphic design.

You are really a nice teacher. You give all the students good marks.
Please forgive me, sir.

Your student,

I am Just Homesick of My New Family

The last ten days I don't even home sick of home country, even my family, but now I just got homesick of a family, an very nice American one.

Diary of an Mature Guy

Sitting in front of me is nobody, but there are a book and a laptop, belonging to a mature American guy, on a table. Slightly, I just opened the book and read some neat hand writing words, which is actually not a good attitude to do this. 

Surprisingly, the book contains sharing story of his life. I didn't really expect that this man, who is aprobably in his late of 40's, a actory manager, and in which somebody told me that he has a problem with his wife at the moment, would write his life stuff on pieces of papers. Oh ya, human being is unique.

Did I Win a Lottery?

Saying 'I am lucky' for achieving something you don't believe it'll be on you is sometimes loosing memory how the energy you have spent for this. I did it. Yes, I used to say it, but my friend Andrian Liem reminded me that I have to appreciate myself by rembering how big the effort I have given to reach that dream. 

Here I am in the U.S, a country I've ever dream to live in since I was in junior high school.

I ever failed 4 times in applying a two-month stay scholarship, but now I even made it for a year study. There is a will, there is a belief, there is a try . . . then it happens.

The Diplomatic Tips

Exactly two weeks ago, I grabbed my old job I used to do when I was a student, that is giving tourists a ride. This old job was kind of for refreshing.and not really bad to fill the time. Here the trip began. There were six motorbikes, six drivers, and six Germans as one big family taking the tour to Prambanan temple and the surrounding small ones. I got the head of the family who is tall and big on the belly, OMG. At first I called him Mr. Pizza with a laugh from both of him and me, which then an hour later he corrected his name as Dieter. It was really funny. Then I found out that he is a German diplomatic and once lived in Indonesia in the Soeharto reign. To him I got some questions since becoming diplomatic used to be my dream. One question I love the answer was "What specific skills should a diplomatic have?" and his answer was "NICE, OPEN, and TOLERANT", which is actually so simple, but frankly so meaningful. Yes, he is that nice humble person who ever faced and solved some difficult cases in the fall of Soeharto. And in the next two years, he will be an ambassador in which he wants Indonesia, Thailand, or Vietnam as the country to be in charge for. The last sentence as saying good bye he told me was "When you have become a diplomatic, you have to visit me in Berlin". "Yes sir, I will" I said.

Thak you, Mr. Dieter, for the tips and sorry for calling you Pizza.
