Spotify

Hi, it's been a long time since the last time I wrote. I didn't mean to neglect my blog. In fact, I have so much to tell,but some recent occurrences seemed to take most of my thoughts from this blog.
I don't even think it's a good thing to post how I feel again.
But you know when music always help to express more of yourself?I never find it truer right now.
Right now, I am trying to create my own playlist on Spotify.
I still gather many songs that I thought would best describe how I feel.
I will try to add more and more songs on my very first playlist.
So please find me at Spotify. :)

I'm an alien

I am an alien.. I traveled through space and somehow landed in this giant planet.
For years, I'd been wandering all around, trying to find a shelter, a place to rest my head.
A place where I could feel wanted because no one would ever want an alien in his home.

Up until one day, a man passed by and said hello to me. I tilted my head confused because this was
the first time. My heart said "stay away, he might be dangerous" but my heart longed for a friend, so I replied with a "hello". He smiled. I smiled back.

Time passed by, we turned out to fill each other perfectly, or that's what I thought. We did so many things together. Things that I always want to try, even for the bad ones. He laughed at my stupid jokes and smiled when I teased him.

Once, I told him the truth. I explained that I'm an alien. He replied that he knew and he didn't care, he would accept me as I am. He even gave me a star to light me up when the dark filled my night and that made my sky was never grey anymore.

Just when my naive mind whispered to me this could be a perfect ending, the season changed.
I was caught. They knew I'm an alien and judged me for who I am. They accused me for trying to steal him from the earth, lured him to join me in a planet he would never want to live in.

So I cried,  knowing that they might be right. I could never live in the earth forever, for I was running out of time. The day would come when I could no longer stand living here, I should return and what am I supposed to do? Because leaving him is like leaving a part of me and taking him is like murdering him,

So I accepted every single advice they gave. I left him all alone. I turned my back and pretended I was heartless as an alien should be because I couldn't stand seeing him walked away. I'm watching as our world collapsed, leaving deep cuts that I prayed so hard to God that time could heal.

Sometimes when he didn't know, I took a glance at him from a distance, seeing his withered and knowing that this was my fault. I should have never replied a "hello" because I am an alien, I never would be the same as him, or anyone, or anything...

I'm so sorry...

Another slopiness to start the new year

Hi there! Happy new year 2015! Hope this year will bring miracles in our life! Let me begin with my first post in 2015!
Remember last year when I wrote you about the first mistake that I did to open 2014?
Well, apparently I'm still the same old me who is so clumsy and careless. Tragic, right?

This year, on first of January I didn't prepare much or make many resolutions. The only three things that I hoped I could fix were:
  1. Coming late to the office
  2. Going to sleep late
  3. Having swing mood
But obviously I have to update my list after what I did this morning.

Okay, I admit that I didn't wake up so early and I had to worry whether I could make to the office on time, but in the end I arrived right on time. Give me some applause please.. :)

But after I was half way to my office, I realized one thing. I forgot my ID card!
and that thing surely is not some unimportant card that you use just to identify who are you to the securities. Why?
Let me explain how important that small thing is.

In my office, for the engineers like me, there are two different types of access.
One, the IPP level 2 (that's how they call it) : you have the right to access a room but you have to tap your card to open the door.

Two, the IPP level 3 (and very fortunate, I'm in the IPP level 3.. Yeay....) : you have the right to access to a room (I call it Platform Developer room) where you work of course. but you can only enter it one by one. How? They build two very small rooms in front of Platform Developer Room where you can only enter it alone.

This small room has two doors.
So in detail, to enter Platform Developer Room, you have to:
  1. press a button to open door no 1
  2. enter the small room alone
  3. close door no 1
  4. tap your card to the machine, and it will also need your fingerprint to identify you.
  5. after the machine successfully identify who you are, you can open door no 2 and enter Platform Developer Room
To exit Platform Developer Room, you have to:

  1. tap your card
  2. open door no 2
  3. enter the small room alone
  4. close door no 2
  5. press a button in the room to open door no 1

Now can you imagine how in the world I can forget to bring that super important card?
Can we conclude that forgetting my ID card to be my first mistake in this year? Hahaha..

Luckily the two doors has a bug and we, as testers and developers, can find the bug easily. So this morning whenever I need to go in or out of the room, I will call one of my friend to borrow his card and his fingerprint and perform the never-should-be-done thing to open the two doors at the same time.
I won't explain how because it will break the rule :)
Sorry guys... I still need my job :P

In the end of my post, I will update my list. Here are the thing I should try to avoid:
  1. Coming late to the office
  2. Going to sleep late
  3. Having swing mood
  4. Forgetting my ID card  Being careless?
See you again :)

Songs About Long Distance Relationship

hi all.. it's been weeks or months since I wrote you something.. The thing is I just broke my laptop's keyboard plus my cellphone and yesterday I got it fixed :)
Done with the excuse, I would introduce my new idea for my beloved blog.
So last month or may two months ago one of my friends asked me some songs specifically about "long distance relationship" and I gave him several songs that I found suitable for his request.
Now I'm wondering if many people try to find songs that have a specific topic.
I may not know many songs but I would try to give the title of the songs that I like plus perhaps my personal opinion about the song (or not) and as usual, if you read and you know other songs that you think are suitable with the topic, you can put it in the comment box below :)
I will update this page each time I have new titles and if I remember hahaha..

Now let's begin with our first topic "Long Distance Relationship" or "Farewell" :

  1. Aaron Carter - I'm Gonna Miss You Forever
  2. Adhitia Sofyan - Adelaide Sky
    It's an Indonesian singer but he has beautiful voice and songs. You should check this one out.
  3. Ed Sheeran - One
    I just loveeee this song so much.
  4. Ed Sheeran - Photograph
  5. Ed Sheeran - All of These Stars
  6. Emblem 3 - 3000 Miles
  7. Finch - Letters To You
    Can we categorize this song as long distance? I'm not sure.
  8. Greyson Chance - California Sky
  9. Greyson Chance - Home Is In Your Eyes

La Segunda Historia, Mi Favorito, Mi Héroe, Mi Dani Pedrosa

Daniel Pedrosa Ramal es un piloto muy famoso de moto GP. Su apodo es Dani. El nació el 29 de septiembre de 1985 en Sabadell – España. Cuando tenía 4 años, el recibió su primera motocicleta como regalo de los reyes magos.

A los nueve años el entró en su primera competición que es Campeón de Minimotocleta de España. En 2001, empezó su carrera profesional como piloto en GP de 125 cc y terminó la temporada en el octavo lugar.

El año siguiente, el subió y ocupó el tercer lugar. Finalmente, 2 años más tarde, el salió como campeón del mundo de GP de 125 cc. Una semana después de conseguir el título, él tuvo un accidente inesperado que se rompió sus tobillos.

Felizmente se recuperó pronto y en el año 2004, Pedrosa subió de clase a GP 250cc. En ese momento, él era el campeón más joven del mundo y decidió quedarse en GP 250 en el año 2005 y ganó el titulo de nuevo.

Al siguiente año, el decidió a subir otra vez a la clase de Moto GP y cambio también del sponsor de Telefónica Movistar Repsol Honda. En su primera temporada de moto GP, él ganó dos carreras y terminó en el quinto lugar.

El año 2007, él pudo ser segundo, pero en el año 2008 él se lesionó al comenzar la temporada y termino el tercer lugar.

En 2010, el tuvo 4 victorias y terminó en el segundo otra vez. Pero en el 2011, él tuvo un accidente y perdió algunas carreras y terminó en el cuarto lugar.

En 2012, él casi salió como campeón y ganó 6 de ochos últimas carreras, pero él tuvo un accidente con Hector Barbera en San Marino y no pudo terminar con buen resultado en Australia y él perdió algunos puntos clave y fue el segundo otra vez.

El año pasado (2013), el no pudo conseguir el título solamente el tercero detrás de Marques y Jorge Lorenzo.

Para mí, Dani es mi personaje favorito que sigo de muy cerca su vida y su lucha. Lo más impresionante, la vida de un piloto es la valentía, animo. Aunque tiene accidente, pero enseguida se recupera y comienza otra vez. Eso es la vida.

Mi Primera Historia Publicado

Dear readers, especially the native readers, you may find some mistakes but please don't laugh at them. Please help me to correct all the mistakes instead. Btw, this is actually not the first story that I created in Spanish, but the first published. It is not the original version because the original version sucks and my professor helped me to correct some of the words even sentences. Also this is just a simple story of how I traveled together with my friends to Thailand, the actual story is much more fascinating, at least for me. Anyway, please enjoy ;)

"Hace 5 meses, exactamente en Marzo de 2014, fui con mis amigos a Tailandia. El total de nuestro viaje fue una semana. Fue una experiencia inolvidable e interesante.

Salimos de Yakarta, a las 7 por la mañana, por eso nosotros necesitamos llegar al aeropuerto a las 5 de la mañana o 2 horas antes del viaje. Llegamos a Bangkok medio día.

Tuvimos muy hambre pero no pudimos comer directamente puesto que tuvimos que ir primero al hotel para registrarnos. Desde hotel, fuimos al mercado local para comer y comprar algunas ropas.
Nos gustó mucho comprar en Tailandia porque la cualidad de las cosas fue buena y muy barata además. Quise comprar blato frito para llevar como regalo. Fue una pena porque no lo encontré. A continuación, nosotros pasamos un parque y descansamos allí.

Al día siguiente día, nosotros fuimos a visitar algunos templos y vimos la estatua más grande de Buddha y tomamos incontables fotos.

En la noche, fuimos en barco y vimos el Cabaret de Simón donde muchos maricones cantaron y bailaron. Ellos fueron muy guapos aunque originalmente no fueron así. Nosotros pudimos sacar fotos con ellos pero tuvimos que dar algo según nuestra voluntad.

En el tercer dia, nosotros visitamos un centro comercial que se llama Terminal 21. Alli probamos muchas comidas pero solo gastamos 100 bark que igual casi Rp 34.000 rupias para comer: comida principal y 2 postres. Fueron super baratos, porque en Indonesia costará Rp 100.000 aproximadamente.
También visitamos la playa de Pattaya pero para mí no es una playa muy interesante comparando con playas de Indonesia. Por eso no jugamos allí.

En el último día, no hubo más visita pero preparamos y empaquetamos nuestras maletas. Resultó que nuestras maletas fueron muy pesadas. Además tuvimos que llevar nuestras maletas en tren y después subimos a la estación sin escaleras."

The Girl Who Fell in Love with Her Reflection

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Cassandra. Unlike any other girls, she didn't like to play with her friends. All she liked was sitting in front of her mirror. Until one day, she thought that she had fallen in love with her reflection.

“Oh, my dear girl in the mirror, how lovely is your face. There is no one compares to your beauty,” she said.

She smiled and the reflection smiled back at her. She felt very happy.

Every day she met her reflection, praised her and smiled. The reflection always smiled back.


*******************************************************************************

Until one day, Cassandra went to her school as usual, she studied. During the break, she was going to have her lunch, but no one wanted to sit beside her.

“You’re a loony. Go and have your lunch in front of your stupid mirror,” one of her classmate yelled at Cassandra.

“Sorry, no place for a crazy and pathetic girl here,” the other girl said when Cassandra wanted to sit beside her.

No one wanted her to be there, so she ran home and cried. She desperately needed to talk to her only friend, her reflection, so she went in front of the mirror. And she met her.

She took a look at the mirror and gasped. The reflection was crying!

“Dear my reflection, why are you crying?” Cassandra asked.

The reflection didn’t reply.

“Tell me my dear… why are you crying? Don’t you know that makes me sad not to be able to understand you?” she felt hurt for the reflection makes her even sadder.

The reflection remained silent, only her tears downed like a stream.

“Please… Tell me… I want to help you.” Cassandra begged.
Still, all Cassandra heard was her reflection’s sobs. Cassandra was furious.

“Why you don’t answer! Don’t you know that I love you so much? Don’t you feel the same for me?”

The reflection cried even louder.

“Say it! Do you love me too? Do you?” Cassandra screamed to her reflection.

There was never a reply, so Cassandra just stared blankly at the mirror.

The next day, her parents found her body in her room. Cassandra had killed herself. She left a letter which said

“Dear my reflection,

All my life I want a person to say that she loves me and I always believed that it was you who would say that. But you never say that. I can’t take this anymore so I choose to leave you. Goodbye my dearest reflection.

-Cassandra-”

She never realized that in order to hear her reflection said that she loved her, all she got to do was say “I love you” to herself.
