i tell my tales

For the pas years, I finally feel confidence about my ultimate life ambition, to travel around the world. Well, I know for some people this might sound like it is not actually a kind of future goals somebody would like to pursue. Some people think a good carrier with a well-paid job and a successful life is a life ambition. And when you get enough money, then you can travel, and they think it’s a bonus of their hard work. I do agree with them as well, but it is just not my way and I have my own. I’m not naïve, I do want money, who doesn’t?

 However, I don’t want to expect “traveling around the world” as a bonus. For me, the term ‘bonus’ is something that is not a hundred percent chance that you will get it. It is a bonus, if you are lucky, then you’ll get it. Plus, it needs a whole lifetime to collect money to fund your round-the world trip.

So I’m thinking, why don’t you find a job that will send you out there and force you to go everywhere? That sounds more interesting and challenging. I know I won’t make so much money from it; I couldn’t be rich as Donald Trump or Mark Zuckenberg, but who cares? Because I do believe traveling provides limitless knowledge that you can ever get more than money. It enriches you in a different way, and I think is a better way.

By doing something you love, you will never get bored and you will never get tired even you will ask more of it. And by that, I believe money will follow.

 So what goes after traveling? Is it only it? No. Of course I would like to give something back. I’m still thinking of how will I do it. but as far as where I am right now, I will write. hopefully through my writings I can trigger youth to travel and get all the benefits of traveling. 

hi!

it’s been a really long time since my last tale, hasn’t it?

anyway, I’m going to sum up my almost-a-year-life on college.

it feels really great, seriously. 

first, I want to briefly share my first semester of college. hmm, i would say first semester was all about living life as a junior. besides, it was a very perfect time to gain maaany friends. first semester was all about friendship, no minding about lovers. we were all blessed of having each other as friends. fun times, bad times and exhausted times we spent together. however it turned out as a very well beginning of the whole life on college ahead :)

weeks of break after first semester exam.. then life continued moving on to second semester..

starting the day as a journalism student, feels great. still have that perfect idealism of becoming a true journalist LOL. days went as my eyes blink and valentino rossi wins a race. it feels waaaay too fast as i enjoyed taking only 21 credits. well i admit, i became more of a lazy ass. more spare times than first semester, no more junior-senior thingy, bonding with best girlfriends, hanging out, laughing and sharing everything as we couldn’t shut our mouths up hahaha. one thing! this semester is where we started to feel we need to have “escorts”. it’s really fun to recall the memories when we were finally bored of being singles and starting from that day, whenever we go, our eyes were wiping all over the place if there were any potential guys. hahaha. but we were taking it slow, we made this thing just to have fun, it’s a fortunate after all if one of us or even better, all of us got what we wanted. 

until now.. D-3 of final exam..

none of us found the guy we’ve been dreaming to get this semester! well some had been close with some guys. even me. but i still don’t know where this whole romantic thing going to. whatever happens, i only hope for what is best :)

i wonder what next semester would be..

cheers!

Rejection after rejections, keep coming. At first i dont give a sh*t. But i always keep trying. This is, today, is my third rejection in a row. Here’s where the bomb starts exploding, where the hammer hitting the surface of hard thing, like in slowmotion effect. What is it with me that makes them choose not to involve me on their so called activity? What did i do? They wanted a long fake explanation than the short honest one? Okay. Here’s what i want. What i only want, is just to be involve. No matter where ever it is, whatever i should do, i dont care if i dont have those special abilities like they always want, but they gotta know that i am highly willing to learn, that means i’m giving my full attention for them if i am in, no matter how tired i will be someday. That’s what i call commitment. Why do they have to doubt it? Seriously guys? If you always picking those who already have so many activities going, are you sure they can handle it? I think it’s better for you to choose who have willing and passion.

so my mom just made an instant dinner for her children, it was instant fried noodle. then i have that idea to upgrade it so the food wouldn’t be boring as it usually served. 

this is how i made up my dinner:

1. cook the instant noodle as the procedure written. 

2. when you put the seasonings in the bowl, add some chili (cabe rawit). 

3. mix the boiled noodle with the seasonings and chili. 

that’s just how indonesian increases the spicy flavor. this is not the end yet hehe

4. then i grab my lunch leftover from padang cuisine, it’s dendeng cabe. but the dry crispy meat (dendeng) should still be separated with its sambal. 

5. make the meat (dendeng) into small pieces, just do it with your bare hands (but you should clean them first of course) then put it onto your noodle.

6.  pour one to two spoon of the dendeng’s seasoning which formed as sambal and it looks so oily with rough cut of chili and its seeds (cabe merah besar). 

7. mix it with the noodle, and my awesome indonesian instant dinner is ready to be served :9

i’m so sorry for not posting the picture along the post because i remembered to take it as my noodle was third four eaten LOL 

but it’s worth the try anyway. you just can do no wrong with sambel. 

bon apetit!
