Friday After-School Party!

Ok, it's a little crazy post, sooo just enjoy!
On Friday, Katherine, Regina, Michelle, Klemens, Yohanes, and I practiced computer together for the upcoming powerpoint competition at smak 5. Then, we have a brilliant idea! We decided to eat together at the restaurant after school. Well, we didn't celebrate anything actually, not someone's birthday, but maybe we celebrated the 'half-done' midterms. Well, midterms are killing me, ya' know?
So, we counted our money first, cause we didn't have much money, and we had Rp170,000. We thought that it would be enough. We chose D'cost restaurant because that restaurant was pretty cheap and the food was delicious.
Oh My! We were sooo noisy!
1. When we wanted to enter the restaurant, we were so nervous, so nobody wanted to enter the restaurant first. Shame on you guys!
2. When we ordered some meal, we asked the waitress, how much should we pay. We were so afraid our money wasn't enough!
3. Our table was very nooooisssssyyy. We were the center of attention!
4. When Yohanes wanted to go to the toilet, he made the chair fell and of course, it caused a lot of noise. Again, everyone stared at us
5. Klemens dropped the plastic list to the floor and it caused a lot of noise. I couldn't stop laughing!!
6. When we wanted to pay at the cashier, we counted our money first, and it took very long time, it made the cashier laugh at us! Oh my, if somebody asked me, "What school do you come from?" I'll never say, I'm from smpk 2 (penabur 2 junior high school), cause my school is one of the best school in Indonesia (I'm not bragging), cause if they know, we're from smpk 2, ooh.. I can't imagine that!
So, it was a really fun Friday after-school party. Hope we'll have a party like this next time!

Adventure in Yogya...

Well... it's gonna be a reallllllyyyyyy long post! On Thursday, September 9th, we went to Yogya.. "we" here means: me, my dad, my mom, my sister, my aunt, my uncle, my cousins (there are 3 of them) and me...

DAY 1
Woke up at 6 am, the driver would pick us up to the airport at 7 am, you know, I was still sleepy... *it's holiday, you know??
Jakarta was sooo quiet, it's like everybody already enjoyed their holiday abroad, we arrived at the airport at 8 am, and the plane departed at 10 am, it was really boring!
First, we ate noodle at the restaurant there, and then we did some window-shopping at the airport while waiting the plane to depart. At 10 am, we departed to Yogya and at 10.30 am we arrived safely there.
We went to the hotel by car. We stayed at Hyatt Regency Hotel, I didn't know whether the hotel was 5 star, or 4 star, but the hotel was really good. There were a lot of international tourists there and I wish I could make friends with them...
After we settled down, we decided to have lunch at the restaurant next to the hotel... At the afternoon, we decided to go swimming
I met a girl there, I thought she was american or australian and she was swimming too, she was at the same age with me, about 12-13 years old, I thought she was very friendly, but I was too shy to say "hello" to her... but I realized that I should say "hi" to her.. My mom said that she was trying to attract me and she was trying to say "hello" to me too, but she was too shy, haha... very funny!
After we took a bath, we went to Malioboro by taxi. Malioboro was a really famous shopping district in Yogyakarta...
At night, I read some novels while my cousins and my sister were playing
And then... we went to sleep

DAY 2
A real adventure has just started! We had breakfast at the hotel and then we ready to go to Borobudur Temple

It took about 1 hour from our hotel to go there...  It was a really huge Buddhist temple, the height was about 35.41 m (I read the description there) but unfortunately, it was incomplete. There were a lot of thieves that steal the statue, the earthquake effect, etc... But overall, it was really pretty.

And then, we went to "Ketep Pass". It was like... a place to observe Merapi volcano. Merapi is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The view there was really beautiful, we ate lunch there... And then, we watched a documentary film about Merapi volcano.
And then, we continued our journey to Kaliurang, it was like... a camping site. And then, it started to rain, so we just stay at the "warung" there to just eat meatballs, drink coffee, and something like that
Finally, we went to the Chinese Restaurant (finally, cause I don't really like Javanese food, I prefer Chinese food) and then, we returned to our hotel and have a rest

DAY 3

We decided to go to Prambanan Temple, a Hindu temple. It was really beautiful too... and it was the highest Hindu temple in Indonesia... And then, we watched the documentary video about Prambanan temple... 

Next, we went to the Ratu Boko Palace, the former palace of Roro Jonggrang... (it is an Indonesian folk tale) the view was really pretty too...

Then, we went to Malioboro again, to complete our shopping... At night... a disaster happened!
Our sweet little cousin was lost in the hotel, and we were so panic!

My dad, Adit (my cousin) and I went to the reception desk to report her, while my mom and my aunt looked for her.Luckily, she was found near the swimming pool, thanks God!

DAY 4

Last day in Yogyakarta.. We swam again in the morning, did some packaging, and then we went to the airport. After we arrived at the airport, we ate lunch at Padang Restaurant. I don't really like Padang food because it was too spicy... After that, we left Yogya and return to Jakarta...
Bye, Yogya... Miss u always...

My Observations:
Remember my promise about the observations? Ya' think I'm kidding? Of course no.. Here are some things that I love about Yogya and it's citizen:
1. The people are friendlier
Yeah, the people there are friendlier than Jakarta citizen. They always greet us "good morning", "good night", "good afternoon", "have a nice day", "have a safe flight", etc... The Jakarta citizen never did that...
2. They are more polite
They always say "thank you", "sorry", without being asked. The Jakarta citizen is not that friendly.
3. They are more honest
When my aunt forgot her umbrella and left it at the bus, one of them said that he saw the umbrella and return it to mu aunt. In Jakarta, if you left something, you will never get it back...

So, it was my wonderful adventure in Yogyakarta, happy holiday all!!

....is it called love?...

It it... L.O.V.E

It's been 2 years since I fell in love... and it's the 2nd time, I don't know why but I think that I'm getting lovesick (again) you know? my heart was beating very fast when I see your face, even when I just see your photo... I stop breathing when you was smiling at me... And I think I can't move my feet when I saw you walking towards me...

I'm afraid!!
But I'm too afraid to say it... I'm too afraid to say hi to you... I'm too shy to talk to you... why? Cause you are soooo popular, you're so amazing, you're an idol! Many girls like you! But I'm not your fans, you know? I like you, not because of  your popularity, appearance, or cleverness... I like and love you the way you are... I love your personality, your smile, but I can't say it... cause I knew.. you'll turn me down, cause I'm not that good :( I'm just an ordinary, usual girl...

Secret Admirer

I'm not a stalker, I'm your secret admirer :) But don't worry, I didn't send you presents, like flowers, chocolate, love letters or notes... and I won't... I just... love you but nobody knew it.. that;s the meaning of secret admirer here, of maybe I should say it... secret lover... Nobody knew it, even my best friends (and I swear I'll never tell it to them) I knew, it's impossible for me to be your girlfriend, cause we're separated miles apart... you know what? I'm still love you with all of my heart, even when nobody knows it... :))

--Shouldn't hope too much--

Hi guys! Long time no update!! I'm in Yogya right now but luckily my dad brought a laptop, so I could lend it and use it... 

*I'll post stories from Yogya later...

Well, this post is kinda private but... I should keep post it... Why? cause I don't have any diary to write my feeling down, but I can't keep lying to myself, I need to be honest to my own feeling... But, I'll keep it as private as I can

This post is about my ... (you'll know it later...)

I think I always fell in love with a wrong person..

My first love (I couldn't tell his identity) was a really great person... He's smart, funny, and he's got everything I am searching for... But he's too popular and a lot of girl liked him too, I don't know if he liked me, but I think he didn't... well, it's ok, and I knew it's impossible...
There were some rumors that said he likes me, but I knew that's impossible... Well, I shouldn't trust rumors...

And now... after about 2 years...I fell in love with another person (I don't know if it is called 'love' or not, but I often think about him recently and the sign that you fell in love is.. you got jealous when somebody was sitting or standing near him..)

And same... I think he doesn't think the same way, maybe he just think that I'm his friend... and same like before, he's popular too and many girls like him...
I don't know, why I should keep falling in love with 'popular' boys, I know, popular boys are hard to get, hard to impress, but I don't know and I'm so confused.. 

Yeah, I don't know why this situation keep happening to me... But, no problem, I'm already used to it :)

I don't need to be your girlfriend, cause I knew it's impossible... I'm happy to just be your secret admirer, and also your secret lover :)

Thanks God!! Another Amazing Week!

Wow, another amazing week has passed! Well, a lot of things happened, let's start this week summary!

Monday: Basketball lay-up re-test, got 5/5, great! (Why wouldn't I do this perfect shoot at first, so I didn't have to repeat it :c ) Then, running re-test. Finally, I could run 34 laps, but my score was still bad, I only got 68...

Then, I played violin reallly bad at school. Why? Well, I didn't know how to say in English but my violin is "fals karena belum di-stem) 

At the end of the day, I got a really shocking news, that my favorite after-school clubs... has shut down! Why? There aren't enough member, so the school decided to shut it down.... But, it was my favorite... and Egi's favorite too!! (Egi is the best friend of mine)

Tuesday: Geography test and PLKJ test, hope I'll get a good mark :), oh yeah, I got my English test result, realllly bad, I only got 72, and the passing score was 75... Luckily, Sir Eddy gave us re-test, so I could repair my score

Wednesday: Math test, and I already made 2 stupid mistakes... hope I'll get good mark:) I got my Physics test, and I was really nervous, because my friend in another class only got 77, and most of them got a really bad mark (That friend of mine was really clever, so I didn't believe she could get 77) and... I got 89! I was really relieved... Then, Mam Rita said she made some mistakes, so we should got 3 extra points... so my Physics test was 92! (Thanks god...)And then... I joined the competition at smak 3, and you know what? It was a really weird + strange+ freak+ crazy competition. The question was... really abnormal ("ga mutu" in bahasa indonesia, haha) But, I got the 2nd place, well, not bad...

Thursday: English re-test, hope I'll get good mark...

Friday: New car!! My parents already discussed this, and they agree to trade our old Panther car with an Avanza! (with some extra fee of course...) But, hasn't got the insurance, so we should take care of that car reallly carefully.... 

So, this is a really special week, and you know, every week is special! Thanks God, please lead me next week...
