Week of Happiness..

Posted in activity on +0000c31obeThu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:59 +0000 10, 2007 by just4chel

I really have no idea,, How come this week is a really happy week for me..
Started with a weird cheerful day of me.. So,, that day I forgot when.. I’m pretty sure that I wasn’t drunk or on high.. I felt absolutely happy all the time.. I think that was on Sunday midnight to Monday..

Monday,, I got my filter for my lens I was pretty upset ‘coz what’s a filter without the lens.. but then at about 03:00 am in the earlyy morning I chatted with Aji Idol and he agreed to be my guess talker in radio..

Tuesday,, I had a really nice dim sum lunch and I went shopping.. I got my sweat shirt that I’d been wanting it for only $6..!!! six bucks people..!!!

Today,, Wednesday,, I got my LENS..!!! my EF 50mm f1.8.. my brand new first lens.. my babe..!!! and my auntie came home with this huge tray full of pasta from Maggianos.. Man.. I think today was the climax of all.. I got my lenss.. Pasta lunch,, Pasta dinner..  My babe just cammeee..!!! OMG..!! I hold that lenss.. I thought it was coming on Friday.. It came today I was pretty surprise..

but then I’m afraid that one week later there will be week of sorrow.. *knock on the wood*  I don’t want it to happen.. I’ve talking about this with Baba,, I said that I’m scared if a week later will be a nightmare for.. I hope nothing is going to happen..

Anyway,, I’m waiting for something cool tommorow..!!

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8

Finally… Afterr a long.. longg.. longg time thinking about what lens should I buy,, do I really need that lens ans etc.. I decided to buy canon EF 50mm f/1.8 for my EOS 100..

A dilemma.. lol.. If I buy it in amazon,, it will cost more money but I can get that lens in 3-5 days.. If I buy it in Indo,, I’ll get it in a month.. the diff is only about 13 dollars.. so,, I decided to buy in here.. I get warranty anywayy..

That lens recomended by a lot of my friends,, it’s pretty cheap but it’s good…

special thanks to Ricky and Rinza for the testimonials of this lens that help me a lot..
and also to ‘om’ imamm,, thanks for helping me finding the link where to buy this camera the cheapest,, also the refence for each seller/store..
to my brrrooooo,, kyokoo andre,, thanks for the amazonn linkk..!!! funny story is that he was telling me that he wants to buy this lens,, and I was like “Dude,, this is the one that I was talkin about.. The one that I’m thiking to buy..” yeaa.. he was the one that give me amazon link..
to my mom,, who finally agreesss…
also,, thank God I finally made a decision.. haha..

I’m excitedddddddd…..

My Fun but Tiring Weekend..

Posted in activity on +0000c31obeMon, 14 Jul 2008 14:51:42 +0000 10, 2007 by just4chel

The most fun part of my weekend was the picnic with other Indonesian.. I met a lot of ppl.. Man,, I can’t tell you everything coz I’m really tired right now..
Anyway I played tag with my housemate and also two cute kids.. AFter long long long time not playing volley ball.. I was back with that cool sport.. my team won that game.. It was a pretty tough game tho.. After my volley ball match I was trying to figure out how to ride a wave board.. I did it couple times.. it was a really cool thing.. me and Lavin wanna buy that once we figure out how u work it rightly..

Alfons asked my to play basketball.. I didn’t really wanna play coz I was wearing converse that time.. I couldn’t run with that shoe and also I was playing with ernest which I didn’t really know him that much and we aere playing against alfons and a green guy (who was wearin green,, I don’t know his name).. I can’t reall play basketball.. I mean I’m more to a lazy runner type of person.. and our opponents were a good shooter and stuff so I was like “We’re not gonna make this..” Most of my shots were miss.. The point became 5-9  for them..

I got the ball,, I shot it from the left,, and it hit the board and went in to the ring.. oh mann.. finally,, I got on fire.. I mean.. I know how to shot the ball.. ok,, I got the ball again.. another shot from the left,, it went right away to the ring.. my partner was just covering me from the big guyy.. haha.. so then they wouldn’t steal the ball from me.. 7-9 still for them.. I was dribbling the ball,, there is no way I could go to the left side of the court,, I was on the right and I wasn’t sure if I could shot it from that side,, my partner was under the ring,, I passed the ball to him.. I wasn’t sure if he could do it coz the other guy might be able to block it,, but he did it..!! under ring shot.. 8-9 oh man.. I couldn’t belive that we do it that farr..

I got the ball.. the green guy tried to get the ball from me,, I didn’t know how my defense could be so hard to break.. I shot the ball and bounced but my partner got it…!!  he passed it to me,, and I shot and it went inn..!! 9-9 and me and my team were like.. “even if we lose we won’t care,, we still did it this far..” Ok,, we changed the strategy,, I was pretty sure that they will try to get the ball no matter what.. The plan was that ernest will try to get the ball while I was covering alfons so then he wouldn’t get the ball..Alfons is a really good shooter.. He didn’t get the ball.. none..!! I did  it perfectly.. I mean my defense.. lol.. ok,, I got the balll.. I shot but NOOO.. it missed.. At this point I was really point to the point I might be able to die if somebody asks me to run or something.. ok.. The green guy got the ball.. he couldn’t give it to alfons,, so he shotted and missed..!! I got the ball.. dribbled it,, jump shot andd…!!!! it went inn…..!!!!!!!! I screamedd…. hahahhaha…….. what a cool game.. I thinking that was my first basketball game after a long longg long time.. From a boring game.. a game that we thought we weren’t gonna make it.. we did it..!! 
Well,, that was the best part of my weekend..

I went home and my uncle asked me to go to at&t to renew our plan.. I went there.. I GOT A NEW COOL PHONE..!! it’s sony ericsson W580i I love it,, the color is black and orange.. I love it so muchhh..!!! but the at&t guy accidentally erased all my contacts..!! I was like.. mann.. I was pretty upsett.. I’ve already said that I’m gonna do it..!! I will do it by my self.. and he was like.. “nooo it’s okayyy.. we will use the machine..”  OK,, and he lost it all.. he said the machine did something wrong and had never happened like that before.. I was likkeee.. “fuckk the macchinneee..!!!!!!!” don’t blame the machine..!! I was blaming himm..!!! I’ve saiddd that I can do it by myselff.. I know how to do it safelyy… After we’re all done he escoerted us to the front door,, and he could still fking say “for the survey please rate 5 for us..” I was like.. “hell to the no,, there is no waaayyyy I’ll give you five..” yea,, and that was there worst thing happened last weekend..

On sunday morning.. it was soree all over my body.. after basketball and volley ball I kinda guess.. and for the sunday.. I didn’t do anything muchh…

that’s all ;)

Lagu Untuk Bunda..

Posted in activity on +0000c31obeSun, 06 Jul 2008 18:41:08 +0000 10, 2007 by just4chel

Suara petikan2 itu terdengar dari dua gitar tua.. Aku bukan orang yang mahir dalam bermain alat musik.. Harapku sejak kecil untuk bisa memainkan sebuah gitar apa daya,, kumasih belum mampu.. Hanya satu lagi yang kubisa.. Itu pun hanya empat kunci yang di ulang2..

Teman baikku sedang mengajarkanku memainkan gitar akustik.. Sebuah lagu untuk bunda.. Bunda yang dinyanyikan oleh melly Goeslow bersama potret.. Lagu itu terlihat mudah untuk di mainkan,, tetapi saat jari2 ku mulai nekan fret2 gitar itu dan jari kananku mencoba unutk memetik senar di atas kotak resonansi itu bukan melody yang keluar dari gitar itu.. Jari2 kiriku belum lincah berpindah dari satu kunci ke kunci lain..

Aku berharap sampai waktu kubertemu bundaku suatu saat nanti,, ku bisa memainkan dan menyanyikan lagu bunda.. Sebuah lagu yang penah kunyanyikan di udara pada hari ibu.. Beliau tak dapat mendengarnya.. Kunyanyikan lagu itu saat itu untuk semua para ibu juga para calon ibu.. Ingin sekali aku menyanyikannya untuk bundaku sendiri khusus untuknya di depannya..

Gitar tua yang sudah setahun menemani rumah ini telah membantu kami memeriahkan suasana dsini.. Banyak kenangan bersama gitar usang yang sudah punya pengganti.. Kami tak ingin membuangnya, aku terutama..

Semoga saat waktu itu tiba kubisa menyanyikan lagu itu.. Lagu untuk bunda..

Memory Card Error…

Posted in Photography on +0000c31obeSat, 05 Jul 2008 22:00:46 +0000 10, 2007 by just4chel

 just realized that I didn’t write about something bad that my camera and that made me pretty mad.. Beside shopping I was going to have a nice hunting time in the at the flea market.. I’ve brought my camera put in the memory card.. I’ve three crads and that is the only card with noting in it.. The rest has something in it.. anyway.. I took ONe.. againn ONE picture and when I was trying to take another one it said memory card error.. @#$%^*

Man,, I though I was goin’ to have a nice hunting time but it turned out to a bad hunting time with no MMC at all.. ohh geezz,, There were a lot of cool stuff I could’ve take todayy.. I was pretty upset that time.. I tried to make it work by taking it out etc but it didn’t workk..

aniwae,, yeaa.. I dunno if next month I will come to the flea market again.. since it only held once a month and we need to come in the morning,, which is a bit impossible for me to ruin my morning..

Oh well.. I hope that would paid with uhmm maybe another downtown trip..!? orr… man.. did I also tell you about the fireworks on 4th of July yesterdayy??
I could see the fireworks in  front of my house but then there are a lot of trees in my neighboorhood,, and it makes me couldn’t get the whole fireworks.. Especially with my pocket camera.. it was just really hard.. I tried and from hundred and hundred photos that I took last night there only 4 good photos.. Evenn the good one have silhouettes of trees in it..

argghh.. what a sad week..

A Regular Medium Iced Coffee,, Please..

Posted in activity on +0000c31obeSat, 05 Jul 2008 18:44:21 +0000 10, 2007 by just4chel

I feel that I’m really productive today..  I woke up at 7am in the morning today.. I think I’d never wake up that early in the morning on weekends..

I woke up and me and Lavin went to flea market it was a pretty cold morning.. AFter a few minute of walking,, we didn’t find anything to buy.. And finally we found a pretty huge stand but a lot of books.. The were selling a lot of used books.. I was interested in the dummies collection.. I found 2 books that I bought.. one is “the complete idiot’s guide of photography” and the other one is “Keep It Simple Series of Photography” Lavin didn’t get anything yet.. and finally.. She saw a pretty nice acoustic guitar.. I wasn’t a big guitar,, it was small and dusty.. She tried it,, played a few key and she interested in it,, since there was a nother guy who was looking for it but he seemed waiting for Lavin to say no.. It was a $20 guitar.. Finally our home get a new nice guitar.. Our guitar now is getting old and I getting it needs a retirement..  That’s all we got from the flea market..

We went home,, Lavin took her USB and we went to dynasty to have a dim sum dinner.. Usually if we go there,, that restaurant is a crowded place,, but we came there around 10 today and we’re the second customer,, they place was quite and the food were nice and warm.. It was a really nice breakfast.. After that We went to target Lavin bought some of her stuffs and printed 141 photos for her scrap book.. We went right away to an art store near by,, I helped her to get some scrap book stuffs that she needs.. I love scrap booking but it’s just expensive in here.. After we got all we need,, I asked Lavin to go to a soccer store near to the art store,, I was thinking to buy a soccer jersey from either Juventus or Chelsea.. Oh well,, It was too expensive $70 for a jersey.. I don’t have that money.. We was trying to find a shoe store on stevens creek blvd,, we didn’t know that the store is actually in a mall.. Lavin couldn’t getthe shoee for her dad, it was out of stock..

Homestead bowl is the place where we usually go to bowl.. Lavin got 2 gloves for her parents.. There were baskin robbins and McDonalds nest to it.. Lavin bought an oreo sundae and I decided to get A Regular Medium Iced Coffee.. I didn’t drink coffee for a long timeee.. I used to love coffee,, but now I don’t why it changed..
and now I’m home.. We did a lot of stuffss.. coz usually we woke up hecka late like at 2 o clock and we didn’t do anything much coz the store are about to close.. Today..!! see what we did.. I’m happy but I’m sleepy too.. I slept for only 3 hours.. I was chatting with my friend til late.. 

Anyway,, the best part of today was my iced coffee,, it’s really nice to have a glass of iced coffee in a hot sunny dayy.. It made me happy…

It’s been a year… -me in kaskusradio-

An one year old baby is still considered a baby who is small,, he can’t walk or talk.. He just really small to do anything by him self..
A year in your work place,, I think it’s a pretty long time to enjoy what you do with your co-worker but you still a junior..

Me in kaskusradio,, Last year in this date I was accepeted to be a radio DJ in Kaskus Radio.. so,, It’s been a year.. A year with happy,, tears,, joys,, and laugh..
I’m gald to be part of this radio.. I’m also proud can be an announcer in a such great radio..
I’ve got a lot of new friends,, new lessons,, new experiences,, new songs.. LOL.. Yea,, it’s just fun.. only one word can describe it all.. It’s FUN..

Since I was in Indonesia,, become a radio DJ is always be in my dream.. I love to talk I love to entertaint people.. I thought that was an impossible dream but it’s so not.. Although this is only a community radio.. I knew one of announcer from prambors radio (arie dagienkz) I knew him because I was in kaskusradio.. Was thinking to make a connection so then if one day I’m back to Indonesia I would probably can be an announcer in FM radio.. lol.. Just a wish..

Well yeaa.. A year with a lot of fun..

It has been almost a year,, after my first as a radio DJ… I had a really fun days with my fellow DJs..

I’ve always wondering if the listeners enjoy my performance.. when I’m radio DJ-ing.. That’s why I made a page in this blog for my listener to give me critics and suggestions or just comments from my performance.. 

Yesterday I wasn’t in a good mood,, I had nothing to do anyway,, so I decided to on air I was thinking maybe by talking with people I would be better.. So, I did,, first we talked about soccer,, Itali of course and then talked about my name was taken from one of the soccer players.. My dad’s fave.. 

Then one of my listener who was also my my friend.. He said that my voice sounds like I’m javanese.. I was like.. what..!? I’ve a Javanese accent I knew that.. I’ve a lot of javanese friends.. btw,, Javanese is one of the sub language in Indonesia.. I didn’t know that if I talk normally I that accent would sounds too.. I can try to talk with their accent.. haha.. Yeaa.. so I talked in Javanese accent,, and I dunno maybe  it sounded funny,, and all my listener started laughing.. I was like,, I’m so nott javanesee..!!

When the song started to play,, I was thinking what would be a nice topic for today after those Javanese thingy,, I remember,, that would be funny if I try to say what the seller in Indonesia say when they are trying to promote their stuffs.. I did sate,, siomay,, tahu goreng,, even Indonesian street musician.. If you are not Indonesian probably you won’t familiar with those stuffs but trust me,, it’s all a good food.. They started to laugh again.. They said I was so hecka funny.. They was wondering what did I do before I came to US,, did I sell something in Indo.. Some people were in “warnet” it’s like a place where you rent a computer with internet in a place,, some of them are the operators.. they turned up the volume.. so then the whole room could listen to me.. also in their work place they turned the volume up coz they were having lunch… some people turned it up at home..

I was like…!? wow,, maybe this is my most successful on air ever.. lol.. I didn’t think that, that whould be that funny.. haha..  So,, I was laughing and joking with at least 100 people.. Am I happy..!? hell yesss.. I feel that I’ve succeed to entertain my listeners.. They were happy,, they enjoyed it.. I hella wanna be an entertaintner but,, I couldn’t for some reasons.. and yeaa.. Yesterday was tremendous.. I was happyyy after all..

Thx to all of my listeners….

again,, sorry for my poor english.. ;)
