What Victors Deserve

When I'm addicted to something, sometimes I do useless stuff in order to maximize my personal experience and interest towards that something. Let's say, The Hunger Games for example.

I finished reading all the three books. Long ago. I kept waiting the casts updates for their upcoming movies. I kept clicking the links appeared in The Hunger Games wiki. I bought the guide book of The Hunger Games. I even fantasized of being one of the contestants and--whoa okay I'm telling you too much. Let's get back to the book thingy.

Okay so I really have that guide book. It's pretty interesting tho, to know some new facts I never discovered before. While some others are stuff I already knew about The Hunger Games. But that was fine because mostly, my main objective was to relive the euphoria of reading the trilogy.

After all I enjoyed reading it.

Although, got to admit there's something missing. Something a Hunger Games fan would really love to know from a source, which entitling itself as a "guide book". Yes, young men and women, it's

The List of The Hunger Games Victors

Caroline Carpenter, the author, must've forgotten about that crucial thing. Or, she didn't have a list of the exact victors. Well Suzanne Collins may not have one either but I'm pretty sure she has at least one, inside her mind, about the complete list of the victors. Which she didn't plan to share because she wanted to let her fans speculating as what I'm doing now!

So fellow tributes, I'm pretty sure you now know what this post is all about. Yes! I'm going to spill you the list of complete Hunger Games victors, like I know if it's true or not! Well at least, I can say that this is actually an open discussion so if someone disagrees, there's always been that comment section below.

Shall we begin?

Okay so, let's do some basic math first. Up to the very end of the trilogy, we knew that there were 75 Hunger Games held, resulting the number of 75 winners, in which the 74th gave two yet 75th gave none. As much as 24 victors were called in again to contribute the Quarter Quell, leaving the other 51 victors unknown. Well, since you must've known Haymitch Abernathy, Annie Cresta and Lyme, I gotta say that there are actually 48 victors left unknown, 16 of which had died of natural courses.

Wow that's one complicated paragraph I did eh? So let's recap. We now have 27 known victors and 48 unknown ones. Now, how do we know which district these 48 victors were from? Well I have no idea myself either, but let's just assume! We can't ever find out the exact answer anyway, unless if out of nowhere Ms Collins gives a visit to this humble blog and read this post, discovering fake facts about the victors and contacting me to give the original list--okay now Vick, skip the meaningless imagination and let's just assume!

OKAY! We all know that district 12 only has 3 victors of all time, so let's cross 12 off the list of those 48 unknown victors' origins. And we all know that most games were won by the Career Pack, so let's give the major portion of spots to district 1, 2 and 4. District 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are considered as mid-class districts, so let's give each of them 2 victor spots. While the remaining ones, 10 and 11, each will have one spot.

Damn it's getting more confusing eh? Haha so let's calculate. Unknown victors from district 1 were 10, 2 were 14, 4 were 10, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 each has two so the total will be 12, while 10 and 11 combined is 2. 10 plus 14 plus 10 plus 12 plus 2 will be? 48. Perfect.

Now let's just randomly put the numbers on the list, and there you go!

Wow I'm actually doing this. I been wondering about the past victors, the past games and stuff, and I never thought I'd be the one telling myself about the info I been looking for. Lol well, Ms Collins, if you happen to see this list, please forgive my smart-ass self and just let me play with my fantasy. I can't ever find such list so there's no harm in making it myself yes?

Now I'm feeling like a geek.
But well yea I don't care that much.
I'm always hungry for The Hunger Games.
And the past victors are hungry to be memorized,

Black Dahlia From The Red

I know I been saying this my whole life, but I'm gonna say it again. I'm a reality show junkie. Once I start seeing one episode of anything, I mean it like, ANYTHING, I'll be there for the rest of the episodes until I figure out who the winner is, on the season finale.

So Asia's Next Top Model was last year. The contestants were all gorgeous that when cycle 2 started, I began to mock the new girls because they were no prettier than cycle 1 ones. But then when I was exposed more to the series, I got my faves. And once again, the top of my list is filled by the girl from Japan.

Her name is Marie Nakagawa

Sofia's successor. With the exact same rank: third runner up. Damn she should've been the winner because she won best photos more than anyone else.

She's shorter than Sofia -well, Sofia's too tall for anybody else. But one thing I like from her is, that she's black, and Japanese at the same time. That's just so unique! She looks exquisite with the skin it super matches her red-dyed hair. And when she was given the makeover, with that afro-kind-of hair, damn she's Whitney Houston!

And I also like her attitude. Looking not too much like a girl from Japan, but her gesture is sooooo Japanese. Super polite, bow before everybody, just what I always expected from Japanese women.

I think it's because I'm in too much love with Japanese. That every single girl, with a whole different mixture of descents and culture, always succeeded making me adore them.

Or is it,

Simply because,

Japan women are all

Best Number So Far

When I turned 20, I freaked out like a chicken. But then I explored that being 20-something wasn't that bad.

So last year when I turned 21, instead of crying of getting a lil' bit older, I was excited like a kid riding jetcoaster for the first time. And what came to me all year long, were the best twists I could ever asked on my life.

Now in 10 mins I'll be 22.

A friend who's 24, right before she turned 23, said that the number, 22, was like the best for her. She started everything, moved to Indonesia, found the best job, made friends with the sickest individuals on this planet and closed the age with a very mind-blowing birthday party I never even imagined before.

I want that kind of 22.

I'm sure I'll get that kind of 22.

22's damn good. 22's a fancy number.

Even American Sweetheart has a song about that.

So thanks 21, thank you so much.

I had such great times entitling you for this last year.

You gave me chances and I rocked everything.

Now let's have a great-10-mins flashback

To cherish all things I did while I was 21.

Before I open my eyes and realize,

That I'm a 22 year old guy

Untouched

Good evening.

To you. And to my blog.

Classic me, eh?

Got busy with something, abandoned the blog and left all the wonderful stories I experienced untold. Yea I have tons of things I need to spill in here. I got tons of blessings I urgently have to praised, in here.

But I have not much time.

So is this how working actually feels like???

Yea well keep the answer, let's make a brief blog post and go.

And so it efficiently showed that this is how working is like: rushing.

So let's get back to what happened after I flew back from Vietnam and Cambodia. Yes, graduation ceremony. The rehearsal, the day. Said goodbye to the lecturers and staffs, to most friends I never met again with after, and to weekly money. Yes, mommy and daddy were so proud of me finishing college, but it meant that I now had to stand on my own, eh? :)

Then came the jobless phase. Well, jobless from the outside. Internally, I made myself busy with some initiative project of my own. It's my long lost dream I've always had when I was a little. And now it's entering the last phase of finishing. Lord I'm so grateful for everything. Excited as well. Well sorry I can't tell you now because I want this to be a sweet surprise for everybody. Especially for myself.

Anyway, that I'm-looking-jobless-but-actually-I-was-doing-something-big time was the best for me. I got to enjoy my post-graduation lazy days, free as a sophomore on a summer break, except this kind of summer wouldn't turn to autumn because there were be no more semesters ahead of me. Yea it was good. Until I realize, I need money.

So I got myself employed part time as a social media staff. Cool eh? Part timer. I'll earn money, but I don't have to go to the office. But things got more complicated so the next thing I knew, I had to go to the office twice a week. Then I got employed as a freelance writer. Compacted. Now the free time I had for the last 30 days, just swept away like dusts.

I didn't intend to apply as a full time employee because I had two upcoming trips. One upcoming trip for now, because I just finished the one to Bali last weekend -will tell it on a separate post. So it'll be Macau next April, and I have to work my ass off so that I'll be able to waste some cash in China.

So umm, whoops, I typed too much already.

Felt so great to be able to write again.

Sorry, blog, for being too busy.

Wish me luck in everything.

Well.

Brief post, eh Vick?

Ya that's fine, it's been so long anyway.

This blog's losing the sense of its humanity.

It just needs constant touch

Return from Home

I don't know what else to say. You knew the destinations. You knew the length of stay, it was two weeks. You knew the challenges I faced. Well now what you didn't know is, the bottom line of everything. Everything that I had in

So based upon the experience, I discovered some other new ways I could really use while traveling. That suits me really, really well.

That I can do things spontaneously, as if I'm home

I made plans. Of how many days I should had spent, of where I should had slept, and stuff. But most of them, well, changed. My head and my heart conspired to cheat me, convinced me to stay longer in each city. I acted like I was at home, thinking less and doing whatever I desired. No worries, no wonders nor questions, just kept living like mom and dad were next door.

That the other side of the globe is actually my home too

Those cities. Nha Trang, Mui Ne, Ho Chi Minh City and Siem Reap. Swear to God I never visited them before. But yea when I was there it felt like, some place I was familiar with. Exploring here, walking there, taking shortcuts and eating by street stalls, was I born there?

That I'm now a part of the world, the home of every traveler

Maybe it sounds too much but, I don't know, people didn't seem to see me as a boring Indonesian they usually -maybe- think us about. They talked to me. They opened discussions with me. Asked me stuff, wondered about my background, got excited about visiting Indonesia, they considered me as one global traveler they usually met along the trip. It was, hmm, kinda important to me, you know, being accepted internationally, as an Indonesian traveler.

It boosted a significant level of my travel desire. I wanted more. Well that's what I always felt after one trip. More and more trips. But seriously, what I got from this trip, was more impact-ful to my confidence in traveling.

That now, nothing can stop me from traveling

Because everywhere is simply home
