Falling Apart...
The earthquake destroyed Yogyakarta areas few days ago, and it was horrible because it shook with 6.9 Richter scale, demolished Bantul area and some cities around Yogya.
Dea's family lives in Yogya, and also some of my relatives. We were very concerned about the tragedy, and hoping that our family saved. Well, after we checked, they are safe. Only some cracks on the roofs, things like that. Other than that, they're in much better condition than the other who lost their homes and loved ones.
My friends and I still trying to gather up some help for them, such as tents, foods, blankets, etc.
If any of you who read this blog would like to help also, you can contact me ^^
On a lighter note, I am in craze with Shinhwa new album, Vol. 8 - State of The Art <333
Gosh it's like FINALLY! they release their new album XD When the first time I saw the MV preview, I was like O_o Waw. They look... boyband XD But but but gorgeous as hell *glomps to Eric*
And for the title song, Once In A Lifetime, I thought when they sing the reffrain was "Once in a lifetime, FLY TO THE SKY.."
What???
XDD Turns out it was "Fly to the stars"... hahahaha.
I am so bored, I wanna go home and read some book. But I'm here stuck in my office. Damn it.

Friday, OK !
The beginning of weekend, muhahaha...
Well, so I've been through this week with pretty much OK. My boss was pretty OK too :P
I'm still setting up few things in my office... bought some important stuffs such as UPS for the computer (the electricity in this building SUCKS), and that including the action of kidnapping Wowo which caused him delayed all of his works (hiks... I know I'm such a bad bad cat. Mianhae, Wo :P). I hope he's not thta angry to me. Well, according to his voice when I called him an hour ago, he seems OK, even though he still won't reply my messages nor give me new CDs :P But at least he's OK ^^
I'm still trying to enjoy my work here, actually. Lucky there's a public holiday in the middle of the week, at least I don't have to stuck in the office with loads of things to do while the supporting tools were... suck. The electricity sucks, teh computer sucks, the lighting sucks, and (okay, I can't say my boss sucks 'coz he's already been so nice to me XD)... basicly almost everything in here is still on progress, so I can't be satisfied with this condition for time being.
Meanwhile.
I am now trying to spare my time for myself. Since I always work from 9 to 6 everyday (and 6 to 12 on Saturday, thanks to my boss .__. ) , I often fell asleep as soon as I reach my bedroom. While I still have some intersting things to read, and one of them is the book by Anne Rice which I bought almost two months ago *__*
The title is Blood And Gold, and I recommend you this book for all of you, book lovers. Check it out, it's GOOD :D
Because I love stories about vampires, and most of all, stories from Anne Rice.
Ah, it's lunch time now. I'm planning to have lunch with Rumbi & Wenda - the famous couple XD - and also I'm going to drag Wo with me. No, not the whole day, just for lunch :P I hope :P XDDDD
Have a great weekend, folks!

BLACK MONDAY
I'm still here in my office, the under-construction building :P
I'm alone again, yes, because my boss is having a meeting in Jakarta. He left me alone 'till tomorrow (I think) and I have stocks of applications to sort, and some schedule to do. Hmm.
My mood is not very good for the past two days. Maybe because of some problems back home that I must settle, and also the working condition here that makes me tired, and also - the most important thing is - my PMS thing XD
It's hard to be a girl when you're facing your womanly thing. Emotional turbulence, makes me cry for simple things and laugh for no reason :P
On the other note, I read Mon's blog this morning and I can't help laughing XD I agree for the award, Mon!
She also encouraged me to sent my complain letter about the garbage and blackmailing in Bandung. The problems of garbage in Bandung is getting worse, I dunno why the government still do nothing about it O_o And also it created new problems, such as blackmailing in my neighborhood, from some people who claimed themselves as 'the government agents' to citizen who doesn't have Bandung's ID card (like me, 'coz I'm originally a Jakarta citizen).
It's real cute, feels like Bandung is an independent state and people should have visa to come or live in here. Bah.
I already sent the mail to Kompas, by the way, and hope for the effect. And I also contacted Bandung TV and Pikiran Rakyat newspaper yesterday, in case they want to cover this issue. Oh well *shrugs*
Meanwhile...
I'm hungry, still waiting for the Jakarta owning company to contact me, and Wowo promised me to help me find the UPS for this goddamned computer because the electricity in this place is suck as hell. It's a good thing though (for Wowo to willing to help me), because last night I kinda got upset to him which resulted me crying the whole night and now I just had to put my smokey-eyes make up to cover my swollen eyes :P Now I'm happy 'coz he decided to have lunch with me^^
I wanna go home. I hate this place. I need some food. And a hug.

New Office!
Muhahaha, finally they set up the internet connection here.. :P I am now alone in the office, and my boss went to Singapore yesterday. I had to prepare all the office equipments before he comes back, so here I am in the middle of dusts, sands, cements, and all the noise from the hotel construction XD
Lucky that in my office - that is located on the 2nd floor - the company provide all the normal office equipments, such as computer with internet connection (I am using it now), printer, scanner, fax machine, water dispenser and even a coffee machine. Oh yeay baby.
I believe that during the first months of this pre-opening my boss and I would be pretty busy to preparing all the stuffs. But it's pretty relieving that both of us help each other, and not much we can do without the help from the head office and the owning company. So... yeah. It's gonna be a joyride^^
Anyway, I'm still enjoying my job as a new secretary. Wish me luck!

Return to BANDUNG!
Muhahahaha. I can't tell you how happy I am to be back in this very city. It feels like coming home. Although, my mission is not for having fun, but to keep alive XD
I arrived yesterday afternoon, with loads of my stuffs :P I decided to comeback to my old rented house with my old friends. At least I got a shelter place before I found another better one (although this one is already good, actually^^). Wowo helped me out to pick up my things such as computer, extra large baggages etc. Haha. It's nice to have someone helping you out when you're moving in a new place XD
I already checked the new apartment for my boss also, who was coming today. I hope he likes his new apartment. I mean, I wouldn't mind to switch place with him XD
I will start working on Tuesday, so I still have time to settle down and preparing things for the new office. And I still ahve time to enjoy my first days here^^
Speaking of enjoying the day, I supposed to go out with Wo today but he (as usual) cancelled in in a very last minute, which got me a bit sulky :P But oh well. I think he's tired and need a rest. *See, I'm a very considerate person, Wolu* :P
I can spend another day with him anyway, now that I'm in one city with him ^^ Muhahaha.
Now I should get a rest, while Mon is already dead by now 'coz I promised her to go online three hours ago :P *Mianhae, Mon, gue tadi dibajak!!* >:D<
I will online again soon.
Vive Bandung! ^^
