I Choose You, Toys!

Temen gue ada yang baru pulang dari Jepang. Dan tebak apa yang dia oleh-olehin ke gueee?? Mainan rakitan Pokemon HAHA ya Allah terakhir liat ini mainan pas masih SD apa kalo gasalah. Sepuluh tahun kemudian baru nemu beginian lagi, berasa balik ke jaman bebas tak berdosa itu :')

Well, beginilah kira-kira rupanya.

Manual rakitannya bahasa Jepang semua, tapi direktif abizzzz. Cuma pake gambar aja gue bisa ngerti gimana cara jalannya. Oh I adore Japanese and their creativity...

I'm halfway there~

Tiga parts terkecil yang krusial parah. Kalo ilang, kepala sama mulutnya gabisa gerak.

Tinggal pasang stiker, perut sama kaki dan...

Ta-da!! Gua sama sekali gatau ini Pokemon apa, tapi gue suka banget mahakarya ini

Ini cuma secuil dari koleksi mainan dan barang-barang berbau Pokemon lainnya, yang nama tokonya adalah Pokemon Center -nama klinik yang ada di kartunnya. Usut punya usut, harga rakitan ini cuma 600 yen atau cuma sekitar 60 ribuan rupiah. Tau gitu gue beli sepuluh biji deh gue lahap ampe muwak.

You know, regrets will always come late indeed.

But that's fine, who knows this is God's way to tell me

That I gotta go there by myself, catch 'em all on my own.

So I guess I'll see you soon, Japan!

Mothers I Like, Fervently

I don't know where to start.

I don't even remember if I had ever shared this.

So here's the thing. I'm just twenty but it doesn't prohibit me to put an interest on somebody older than me. Umm yes, I'm in love with a lady. No, I'm in love with ladies. These ladies.

Blame mom! She forced me to download all series of the Desperate Housewives that I can't stop myself to watch each episode she's done watching before I planned to delete them. Now that I like them so much, I'm still keeping the files...

Anyway, you met the main housewives. Bree Van de Kamp, Lynette Scavo, Susan Mayer and Gabrielle Solis. I like 'em all, I love the bond between 'em.

One thing, there's this wive I idolize the most. One of minor wives, Edie Britt. She's not nice, she's somehow slutty. But she's funny. Random and wild, more like a clown of the pack if she's accepted among other wives. And she's actually caring, well as far as I follow the show. Overall, her appearance is one of my longing.

But keep this in all your minds.

I'm just happened to adore them.

Just an adoration, for crying out loud.

Nothing more, nothing less ;)

Note Four: Readapt

Day Eighteen

What's so special about today? Well, it's the only day off I will ever felt along my internship period. Plus, today's the middle day of the middle week of my overall seven weeks of internship. Geez, I'm halfway done already...

So umm, as I told you on the previous post, I've been transferred to the Marketing Communication sub-division. This week I'm under supervision of the Educational aspect. You know, it's like the advertising but subliminal. They introduce products and services through soft ways, such as advertorials, magazine for priority costumer named 'Prioritas', soundings and information from facebook and twitter posts, and also Gebyar BCA.

I must say, the readaptation's not done yet. Next week I'll be moved to the aspect I've been ever longing for, the Advertising aspect. Can't wait for that and I hope I'll obtain what I crave from that place.

Weird, eh? I'm like a corporation pervert.

Jump from one working unit to other ones.

However, this is getting more exciting because

I learned more than what I expected

Something I Just Noticed

Sejak kemaren gue udah pindah ke MarComm. Cerita detailnya sih nanti aja deh ya karena sekarang ada yang lebih menarik yang pengen gue sampein.

Nah hari ini gue diajak buat ngeliput Finance Asia: Asia's Best Companies Awarding sponsored by Credit Suisse di Mandarin Oriental. Hmm padahal ya, itu hotel kan sebrang-sebrangan sama kantor. Tapi kita naik mobil cuy! Haha baru naik bentar, pasang Ed Sheeran - A Team, lagu belom selesai eh udah sampe di lobby hotel. Yasudah lah ya, sekali-sekali ngerasain hidup mewah hehe.

Oke, fokus! Nah setelah acara selesai dan mencuri dengar dari orang-orang di sekitar gue, gue dapet sebuah insight baru. Awarding nya orang bule itu, setelah ditelaah, jauuuuuuuuuuhhhhh lebih sederhana dibandingin awarding yang dibikin sama orang-orang Indonesia.

Yang satu ini, acaranya di meeting room gitu. Sempit. Stage nya cuma seitil. MC nya gak nanggung-nanggung, Publisher Finance Asia nya langsung! Trus yang nyerahin awardnya -yang menurut gue, tugas ini sangat amat gabut- itu Managing Director Credit Suisse Indonesia. Overall gak ada tambahan uang buat bayar orang lain, termasuk EO. Plus no meals for media and no music or other useless performances.

Gila ye, acara serius gitu ngundang direktur CEO presiden dari perusahaan-perusahaan besar, tapi sederhana abis. Bahkan OVJ Awards yang isinya kelakar gajelas gitu jauh lebih megah dan foya-foya. Bahkan FISIP Awards yang cuma sebatas kampus masih pake kepanitiaan segala. BAHKAN Awarding Night Malam Balas Jasa Komunikasi 2010 yang sejatinya gak diwajibin ada awardingnya pun, sampe bikin orang nangis-nangis karena kelabakan ngurusnya.

We have to learn a lot, people of Indonesia.

That simplicity is, sometimes, the best

Note Three: Transition

Day Fifteen

Today was my last day in Public Relation Aspect. Well umm, I asked my boss to switch me to the Marketing Communication Subdivision for a better learning of mine. But you know, right when you have a chance to obtain something, sometimes you need to let go of something else.

I'm in love with the place I was put. Those people, uh, they're just too amusing to be skipped. It was just three weeks but I feel like accepted. They said that I was too fast, stopped working there already. Some of them even suggested me to extend my internship period there haha.

Anyway if you notice, along these three weeks, I kept talking about the people. See that's why I requested to be moved. I made friends already, now it's time for me to sharpen my knowledge about marketing or better yet, advertising.

I know, this wasn't the end. I'll still be in touch with them. We even made plans already to catch some movies, go to karaoke studio, and break fast together. So this replacement, I hope it would be a precise decision.

Transition will always, always be difficult. For me.

Especially when I have gotten used to the current situation. 

But you know

Right when you have a chance to obtain something,

Sometimes you need to let go of something else.

I hope this'll be getting way better
