Goin' Countryside!

It's been a while since I wrote the previous entry. I've been busy doing the music arrangement for "Musikalisasi Puisi", it's where we turn a poem into a song of our own. We were done with the music, and when we were having a consultation with my teacher's son -Who's, by the by, really cute! Then again, he's in college so... shame ;)- and he said, "The notes don't match the poem and neither does the guitar. Let's change it all," and we did! We made a completely new arrangement which was very different from the first one and practiced a bit... ALL IN THREE HOURS. It was Friday, and the competition was Saturday. It took only three hours. And we nailed it! We got the audience noddin' their heads alright. We didn't won, but that's fine with me.We did our best and had fun onstage. That's what matters, right?

Anyways, after the competition, me, Sabeth and Nofal went back to Risti's house to pick up some stuff. We're goin' countryside! We met up with Dita and Mayang and Risti's cousin Nunu there. Then we went back on the road! Mayang attempted to study Economy along the way, but we successfully distracted her by playing Jesse McCartney's Departure CD on the car stereo lol. We arrived at, like, 4pm and THE PLACE WAS HUGE! It didn't look like a villa. It looked like a big house. Marble floor, huge space, great lawn... Love it! We settled down in a room upstairs, the last one on the right. And our room was so pretty! It's all pink and pastel colors like Barbie. I wanted one! I want my new room to be like that when we move in lol.

After we settled down, we decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. It was a little windy and cold -Good thing I brought my big sweater!- and took some nice pics while we were there. Then it rained! It drizzled at first, but then it got bigger so we ran back to the villa. My heart was beating so fast, I was breathing real heavily. But I didn't shed a sweat! It was so cold! We were wet, but instead of going straight to shower, we ordered noodle. Waiting for it to be ready, we sang our hearts out. Then we ate, but Nofal's mom said she made pasta. Damn, we could've eat PASTA!!! We had lots of penne and fettuccine at dinner, however. It was the 21st anniversary of Risti's parents, but she also gave me and Mayang birthday present. Chatelain wallet! Love it <3 we spent the night chattering away in our Barbie room.

I woke up at 5.30ish and I thought it was already 7 because the sun's already up. It was raining. I remember the wind blew real hard when I got outta my room. FREEZING! I decided to go back to bed, tweet a bit. Then the girls wake up. We took a walk and then I plunged into the pool! Dita taught me her dance routine while the others took pictures in the meadow. It was fun! Risti took a picture of me, Mayang, and Dita sitting on big rocks where water flows around it. I'd post it here, but Dita hasn't upload it yet. Comin' up, by the way.

We went back to the villa, ate more pasta, took VERY COLD shower, and packed our bags. I was on my phone texting, until I fell asleep. It was only 10 minutes when Risti's maid woke us up to go back home. Sigh...

But that was fun! I hope we can do it again sometimes. I'm actually thinking about... doing my class' yearbook pics there. The place is BEAUTIFUL! Great views, nice places to go to. And, maybe, Mayang would be our photographer. I don't know, I would like her to be.

Oh well, that's what I wanted to blog you about. Laters!

Immorality Of Teenagers Today

Us girls -Consisted of me, Risti, Dinda, Sabeth, Nila, and a bunch of other girls- were chatting around at Risti's porch after our Math course. We talked about the party that this rich guy (Let's call him T-Man) at school had last night, where some of the kids leave at midnight-ish. Some of my friends were invited, but they didn't go. Well, last night was raining heavily from the afternoon. It even flooded a bit. What were they supposed to do, drive all the way through the dark and slippery road to the city hall?

Today, T-Man and his boys are going to the countryside. Haikal, Chitra's ex (Whom she wants to get back with, FYI) is coming with them. Last time they went there, T-Man took a hooker back to their bungalow. That's what I've heard, at least. Then we started talking about guys in our class who had their... first time. And... surprise, surprise. My ex is one of them.

Bam. He's done that. OMG. He's only 14! I've never felt so disappointed in my life. I used to like that guy. Hell, I used to date him! I was like "Oh, no. Nooo... Please tell me that's a joke." but... Man. I can't believe that our guys are that bad! They are only, what, 14 or 15? Sheesh!

This reminds me of Social Studies class about people's reaction to social changes. One of the negative impacts is social decadence. Some of the easy examples are, like people seeing dirty things they shouldn't see, dating boundaries are crossed over... But not this. Not in this stage. This is wayyyyy in over our straight minds! I feel disappointed because... have they ever thought, even for once, how they're gonna pay for that? They're not in love. It's called making love, right? It's something that everyone can only do when they're lawfully married. Supposedly. This is too bad. It's such a waste. I can't believe that they... him... don't have a fucking moral! I don't see any respect in them anymore. Sorry, but it's true.


Song of the entry is "Fuck You" by Lily Allen. Yeah, that should do it. XOXO

Survival Without A Friend

This might sound cliche, but I wouldn't know what to do to survive at school this year. This is probably the most stressful year I've ever had. The school year had just begun, and I already got so much stuff to do. Maybe too much. I mean it. Think about it; I've been a robot on school days, now my parents always drag me down one place to another on weekends? WHOA. I need a break. They want me to get good grades (They were really disappointed in my Math.) but they don't let me catch my breath?! I was really under pressure. That reminded me of Prison Break, about a building designed to maintain the weight it holds inside. He's trying to strengthen it, but only ended up putting more weight on it. I think that is exactly what the government's doing on this country's education system. They wanted to take a bit of the pressure we're getting, but what they're doing is pushing us down harder.

Yesterday -Which is Monday- is always my busiest day of the week. I get home at 1, eat lunch and go for Math counseling at my friend's house in the neighborhood. Then I get off at about 4, walk home and rest for like 15 minutes then I go to course. That lasts until 6.15pm, then I get home, eat dinner, and do a stack of homework. Oh, not to mention that I get up at 5 friggin' AM. At the end of the day, I was so EXHAUSTED. So, then I spill it out to BGF via texting. I don't know, he advised me without lecturing. Heck, I don't even know if we can do that! Point is, he really made me feel better and be more grateful and less whiny. In fact, I was a little... ashamed. I called myself 'mature', but from what I wrote to him, I sounded like a spoiled and whiny little kid. But, him? He didn't even sound 14. Wait, why does Michael Scofield suddenly popped into my mind? Okay, they're sooooo different. But they do kinda have the same optimism and stuff.

If there weren't him or Risti or anyone... I wouldn't know what to do. And I would like to thank them for that. They've been such good friends. They've comforted me at the times I felt most uncomfortable; telling me that things can't be that bad. Love you guys :)



Song of the entry is "Survivor" by Kaye Styles. It used to be the anthem of "Prison Break", but now, it's the current anthem of my school life.
