Twenty-something: Paths


It's been ages since my last post!

So many things happen from the last time I wrote and the times between until this very minute.
I have finished my internship time in Social@Ogilvy. Six months! I got so much gifts and embrace in my last day, it almost feels like home being there. School starts next Thursday and I'm planning to send my CV to another advertising agency nearby to be an intern and get my credits this time. I got freelance job and it's a good start, I think, before I'm doing another internship program for credit.

So much things I wanna do but so little time and energy I have in one day. I wanna read more books, learn more and write fiction again. So much things I wanna do just to make me feel good, again, about myself. Which sometimes I feel like I'm doing something weird. There's always some questions like, "Am I good at this?", "On scale 1 to 10, how suck, pathetic idiot I am?" or "Am I happy with all of these achievements?".
And one questions I can't figure out: is this the real, true and right path? How significant this choice could affect my life?

Am I think too much or is it something that all people in twenties would feel about their selves?
What if it leads me nowhere? Or some place I never imagine, somewhere awesome but it takes a great deal of pain in process?
 Of course, I didn't really have a choice right now. I just hope it's not gonna hurt me.... again. I'm not that strong to take that twice in the very same decade.

Bitter What-If's: Santa Monica Dream - Angus and Julia Stone



Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream
Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
You tell me stories of the sea
And the ones you left behind
Goodbye to the roses on your street
Goodbye to the paintings on your wall
Goodbye to the children we'll never meet
And the ones we left behind
And the ones we left behind

I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere
You're somewhere, you're somewhere
I could go there but I don't

Rob's in the kitchen making pizza
Somewhere down in Battery Park
I'm singing songs about the future
Wondering where you are
I could call you on the telephone
But do I really want to know?
You're making love now to the lady down the road
No I don't, I don't want to know

I'm somewhere, you're somewhere
I'm nowhere, you're nowhere
You're somewhere, you're somewhere
I could go there but I don;t

Goodbye to my Santa Monica dream
Fifteen kids in the backyard drinking wine
You will tell me stories of the sea
And the ones you left behind
And the ones we left behind

Cheesy Stuff. Don't Read It Or You'll Get Sick.


We've been through a rough patch for some quite time. Maybe we still on it. Guess we working on it.
I've been so busy for this past 3 months with this internship job and school. I haven't see him in two months and I think I'm getting used to, as we've been in distance for a long time and it feels like forever.
He used to be the one who acting cool all the time and I'm the one who desperately moody. But this time he's nagging a little bit much. And it's funny.

Yesterday we're having this conversation, and I'm not sure what it is.
He said, "I wanna asked you a cheesy question. But it's not a bullshit, I'm serious."
"What?" I asked, prepare myself for another jokes he might thinking of. Like the one with a housewife jobdesc and another. Well I don't always remember exactly what we talk about things and stuff, but I do know it feels good to smile whenever he acts silly.
"Be the last one." I'm not sure if it's a question or a statement. Cause he said it once already, as an statement, that he want me to. "It's a question," said he when I asked. "Please answer me."
"Nope. I don't want to."
He laugh. "Alright, I'll just go then. I'm mad at you."
"But I could be the last two person you love. Give two little space for someone else."
"For whom?"
"Our little weirdo."
"I can live with that," and I can feel his smiling to me though I don't see it. "What score I get for this cheesy conversation? I bet it's a high point."
"Seven. Good enough."
"Oh how could you get me a seven?"
"Because you're doing it over the phone and it's not romantic. I'll give you a ten when we meet."
"Then I shall asked you that question again. Please stay, I need you."

Sometimes I wonder what he sees in me. A person like me.
Seeing him being a grown up guy like that makes me feels save. Like a home. I know him long enough to understand what kind of person he is. He's so annoying. Sensitive, but he stay quiet like a wallflowers. He could be so mad that he broke something or sounds like a man in bullfighting, he could be so much pain in the ass when he didn't reply the text all day just because he was too lazy to type. And I sometimes hate the way he forgot things, like my birthday, when he actually have bought me a gift as we celebrate it one day early (and I was like, "Man, you forgot my birthday less than 12 hours after we celebrate it one day before?"). But he remember things. Mostly little things. Like my mother's favorite flower when I tell him in slight little conversation, like how I was so tired and said that's better if he's the one who work and I'll be stay-home-wife.

I never thought I could make someone that happy. Said my smile was the one thing that could lighten him up, when actually I don't even like myself, not especially my smile with these frizzle tooth I have.
Makes me thing what I've bee doing all this time, with all mixed feeling with the past who have found its future.

This road is hard. Doesn't mean it's impossible. If he believe what we've done will not be a waste, then I should too. I believe, in his faith of us.

P.s.

Bitter Heart : No F, No R, No E

I'm not sure how much a heart can hold.
Has forever changed, lost the F, the R and first E, and it becomes over?

I'm not sure I understand you well. All these crap; distances, secrets, being strong and being patient, it's sucks. I'm freaking tired to deal with it everyday but still I did it any anyway because you are the biggest part of me I won't let go. Or at least that was what I thought. Maybe, like you said, the little voice in our heart had spoken. But sometimes, and I guess it feels like a habit, I lose my faith and need a good rest or maybe stop a little while.

But when you say it, it sounds different to me. I frankly don't know what to say. Or do. And imagine a life without you is something I never planned. Holding another man's hand or grow old with someone else is definitely not an ideal life I would have. No matter how mad you made me or how weird your annoying habits. Singing a lame song out of tune, who does that? You.

Are you really gonna go or what? The wise thing to do is let me know whether you're a war I need to win or a lesson to another story.

4 Letter Word

People say 'love' is 4 letter word. So does 'shit', and 'fuck'.
And that's a perfect line how to describe my life lately.

I say SHIT.
When it's 8 in the morning or 9 PM and I don't get a seat in the bus or too lazy to move my ass off to work or home. Or, when my favorite dress or shirt was sold out.

I say FUCK.
When I make mistake in work, or I got a C for test. I say it when people acts like jerks, I say it like every time and I loved saying that.

I say LOVE.
When my dogs are so thrilled to see me every time I went home. Every morning when I called Red, waking him up and every night when I'm comfy in my bed, ready to sleep and need heard his voice before I off to dream. Or when I'm in the office and suddenly missing him. And he will always knew how I feel even if we were holding hands in silence.

Anyway, I'm addicted to these songs. Love it!

My Not-So-Calm Sunday

Soooo...... I told you before about my interviews in Ogilvy. And I really thought I messed it up. Turns out I'm not. Not entirely, maybe. Last Friday I got a call from the human resources and they want me to start in Monday. Tomorrow.
That's cool. But like I always did, I panicked about little things like, "What should I wear? I had no clothes!" when actually I just bought some couple weeks ago.
Or "How should I speak?" as if I'm an alien and I have never speak to anyone, ever, before.
And "Should I bring my own lunch? Whom I will eat my lunch with?" because bring my own meal looks so childish but I'm not so affordable enough to buy one every single day (the office is right beside Senayan City and Plaza Senayan. I'l be damn poor if I did.). And eat lunch all alone makes me feel bad sometimes. Well, most of the times.
I'm torn between excitement and fears like first day of school. Thank God it mostly excitement. I will work hard and learn harder!

Meanwhile, these are my Sunday-lazy-looks. Haven't wash my hair, panda-eyes and lack of sleep's evidence can't be hidden cause I lost my glasses of 5 years, chubby-fatty cheeks, what a shame.
