Sorry.

For some reason I just want to write these two words out loud.

Ehm.

Dedicated to those who currently are laughing their butts off.

Pictures of Jakarta - DAILY!!!

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

I had a chance to live in Jakarta for about 3 months only. Not too long, but long enough to know how alive the city is - except on the weekend when everyone in the city migrates to Bandung - the people, the drama, the glamour, the food, the buildings, and oh-my, the heat and the traffic!

http://jakartadailyphoto.com/really gives a rich scope of Jakarta inside and out - and THIS fabulous find of the day brings me a bit closer to home!

Guys~

You’re welcome too ;)

I’m so in love *GASP*

Sunday, May 13th, 2007

Yes, oh I am so in love!

The lucky guy (wink) has the most handsome voice.

When I hear him talking - it fills the empty cells in my brain. He is smart. He is brave. He is sympathetic and he is funny.

And oh, listen to this one: he believes in mankind. How hot is that?

He wakes me up every morning with his stories about what’s happening in the world. He gives me knowledges and inspiration to start my day.

That’s him. Steve Inskeep. Steve_inskeep

He is the host of NPR’s Morning Edition.

Yes, he went to Baghdad, visited New Orleans after the disaster, and covered the war in Iraq. He interviewed so many people from the President to a mother.

Image is from NPR.org

He’s done so many more fabulous things and he has a lot of achievements.

And did I tell you that he’s smart?

NPR’s Morning Edition is hosted by him and Renee Montagne. It airs every weekday for 2 hours, covers breaking news complimented with in-depth analysis and commentaries. If you like to be up-to-date with smart gossips, this program is super.

It’s nice to listen to them when you drive to the office, stuck in a traffic.

For you who lives in Bay Area tune in to KQED public radio at 88.5. You can also go to www.kqed.org or straight ahead to www.NPR.org.

A little background info: NPR stands for National Public Radio, kinda like RRI in Indonesia. KQED is a public radio, kinda like Suara Surabaya.

A little more info on him: yeah..he’s married with one kid.

*tsk* kinda breaks my heart! :)

Lari

Monday, May 7th, 2007

Pengeen banget lari lagi.

2 taon lalu da roomate and i nekat ikut nike marathon. karena ngga ada persiapan dan ngga pernah lari2an seperti ini sebelumnya, kami mutusin bakal ikut yang separuh rute aja. even half marathon is like 28.6 km or something tuh.

gile bangeeet acaranya!! seru banget! kita lari mulai dari union square, lewat financial district, menyusuri pier 1 to the end sampe bawahnya golden gate, aduuh jauuh.. banget. eh masih musti lari lagi mengitari golden gate park, pokoknya jauuuh banget..mana san francisco jalannya naek turun gunung. huhuhu…

dalam tiga setengah jam, kami sampai juga ke garis finish. mulai dari kaki, tangan, sampai helai-helai rambut capee semuaaaa!!! tapi endorphin kami bener2 ke-pumped really well. felt so healthy and happy!

lari tuh baguus banget buat kesehatan loh! jangan percaya deh kata orang-orang kalo cewe’ lari ntar bikin your calves jadi gede. yang ada malah tubuh jadi lean dan segar bugar.

aku suka lari buat merilis stress dari kerjaan. suka banget ngerasa angin di wajah yang panas. rasanya masalah2 kerjaan jadi melembut dan terbang dibawa angin. suka banget ngerasa air dingin di tenggorokan setelah beberapa round of miles.

sayangnya akhir2 ini udah jarang banget bisa ada waktu buat lari. bawaannya capee mulu. ngelemburr muluu di kantor. cape ih! mau lari di tread mill, beda banget rasanya. apalagi treadmillnya di garasi gitu. ngga enak banget pemandangannya. huhu.

aku ngga bisa kok, lari cepet2. apalagi sekarang, lari sebentar aja pasti udah cape. but oh, how i wish, i could just run again - and leave all of that craziness behind.
