Thanks God for Today

Okay, before I start with my post, let's all pray for the earthquake and tsunami victims in Japan (8.9 magnitude) and I also hope that the Karangetang eruption in Sulawesi won't be as devastating as Merapi. I heard that there was an earthquake in Bali but I'm not really sure on this, yet. Indonesian's eastern coast and also the pacific coast received tsunami alert due to the earthquake in Japan. Anyway, #prayforjapan #prayforindonesia #prayforworld.

Back to today. Actually, I've been dreading today that I think it might have made me sick these past nights. The exhaustion after evening classes were maybe due to the fact that Friday was approaching and I wasn't prepared. So, when today finally arrived, I couldn't help twitting: "ONIF: OH NO IT'S FRIDAY!!!". You know, as opposed to TGIF? Friday has never been cheerful lately.

But, somehow, today, other than the national disasters, everything was going fine. To make it quick, here's the list:

1. I downloaded Dragon Ball 40. I know, I know, it's cheating. But seriously, it's only semi-cheating because I it's not available at bookstores anymore. Therefore, downloading it was a bliss!
2. I attended a Peace Corps seminar at 2 till 4 today. I was feeling rather lazy and to be honest I actually spent most of the time completing my drawing. The Peace Corps itself more or less was like Dejavato, but this Corps consisted only of American volunteers. The exciting thing was after the seminar, not during. So my friend Nurma and I chatterd with mb Icha, a middle east master student and she asked us to photo with a former minister. He turned out to be former Menhan, Mr Yuwono Sudarsono (I hope I got your name right, Sir). Nurma and I didn't know who he was until we showed his photo to Pak Yadi. The only famouse people who I'd spot straightaway probably would be Chris Evans and Aaron Ramsey. Other than those two, I'd be oblivious.
3. The small prayer room turned out to be a hiding bliss. No explanation here.
   
4. Class was EXTREMELY taking ages. But I think I could finally make up questions from the presentations which were being presented. The questions were rather dull, but hey, sometimes dull is better than none at all (remember, key word is sometimes, not all the time).
5. While I was having a very enthusiastic conversation with Nurma at our Soto food stall, a blond foreigner took our photo secretly with her cell phone. Seriously, she offered no explanation why she did it. Now I know how those foreigners feel about having their photo taken secretly by the locals.

At first, I thought that there'd be no more happier news but I was wroooooongggggg! It turned out that 6. Aaron Ramsey has an official twitter! It's @aaronjramsey. His first tweet had something about californication in it. This definitely makes me more set on making Red Hot Chili Peppers as my muse.

Well, maybe it seems boring to some people but today, I feel like it's such an amusing day.

ps: today as in March 11th, maybe this is gonna be posted on March 12th 12 something am. But the event definitely happened on the 11th.

New Room, Yay!

So starting from today, I officially moved to a new room in the same boarding house. Yay!!!

My old room was, yeah, uhm, er, too bloody expensive for my taste.

I actually wanted to move out to another boardhing house. I've already paid the down payment. But you know what, exactly the next day that I've paid the down payment (shortening it into dp sounds kinky), somebody moved out of one of the "normal" priced rooms. To cut a story short, eventually I got this room.

It is smaller and hotter than my first room, but I think I'm loving it already.

But of course, the best room in the world is my OWN room in Semarang. ^^
