Nyari laptop

Beberapa hari gak nge-blog, gara2nya pas mau apdet senen kemaren tiba2 lupa nge-save, padahal postingnya dah lumayan panjang ... hiks. Sekarang mah benernya lagi gak ada cerita yang seru2. Kerjaaa terus. Pulang rumah, cape, paling baca2 bentar ... terus ketiduran. Hiks, baca Da Vinci Code nya gak selesai2 neh ...

Omong2 tentang Da Vinci Code, untung juga gak beli bahasa Inggrisnya. Soalnya baca bahasa Indonesianya aja harus lumayan mikir ... hehehe ... atau seperti temen2 bilang, kita emang jadi tambah bego setelah kita kerja ya :p ? ...

Hari Minggu kemaren aku jadi beli laptop 2nd buat Mama. Nitip dibeliin, bukannya aku yang beliin. Hari Jumat sempet nanya2 di Ambasador, jadi aku pikir pas Sabtu bisa mampir bentar ke Ambasador buat beli. Eh, taunya pas hari Sabtu harus k Cibinong, nyampe Jakarta lagi dah jam setengah lima sore, itu pun dalam keadaan basah kuyub kehujanan. Mana keburu ke Ambasador ... delay deh cari laptopnya ke hari Minggu.

Tadinya aku pikir males banget ke MangDu buat cari laptop, tapi ngubek Ratu Plaza bentar gak nemu, untung temenku berbaik hati accompanying me ke MangDu ... (thanks Lus :) Ngubek sana sini bentar ... akhirnya nemu, IBM A22, P-III 800, HDD 10 GB, RAM 128, harganya 5.25 juta. Ambil deh ... Pulang2 ternyata dah sore. Lama juga yak. Ngopi2 and ngobrol ngalor ngidul bentar, trus cabut pulang. Ngantuk ... tapi belum ke Gereja. Dengan perjuangan akhirnya misa jam 7 malem.

Hhhhh, what a weekend ... Nah, sekarang dah kembali ke kesibukan normal. Besok Senen harus deliver software ke BCA neh ... sekarang masih bug fixing, but hopefully everything goes well.

Oke, sekian dulu, abis lagi gak ada yang menarik untuk diceritain sihhh. Masalah hati juga lagi datar2 aja ... huehehe ...

Thanksgiving 2020

What a crazy ride we have been riding in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has pretty much put our life on hold, if not going on a slower pace. I feel that we are running a marathon, and it's not over yet. The emotional toll that we have been experiencing since March is real. Everything that we used to take for granted, like meeting up with friends, birthday parties, kids activities, traveling, the convenience of doing grocery shopping anytime we want, a lot of them have been taken away from us, from my family. No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...

Rediscover childhood ...

When Iis asked whether I'd like to join a traditional Indonesian dancing ~ Balinese, I was hesitated. Last time I did Balinese dance was in Nyoman Gunarsa's Sanggar Dewata around 1989. I started dancing Balinese at age 4 when I saw my older cousins dancing, so I told my mom that I wanted to dance. Wrong decision :p! My mom enjoyed bringing me to the dance club, more than I enjoy dancing, and I was stuck for more than 6 years :p I knew that I wasn't talented, but she just didn't let me quit no matter how much I begged, hahaha. I finally quit because I needed to study more to prepare for Ebtanas (I know, I know it's such a lame excuse, hehehe) . Never crossed my mind that I would dance again. First because I didn't enjoy it, second because I am not talented. When finally I say yes, I'll come, I thought it would be the first and last time :) But I was wrong. It's fun and I enjoy it. This time is different because my mom doesn't tell me to do the dancing...

What would they decide ?

When I was a little girl, I heard a lot of stories about far-away lands from my mother. She told me stories that she got from my father's letters when he was away. Our family was apart for four years. My father went to school to Montpelier, France while my Mom raised my brother and me in Yogyakarta. Every other year Dad visited us, brought a lot of books and pictures home. Pictures of Versailles, Lourdes, Marseilles, Spain, and a lot more. He told us many stories, brought me from our little home to those countries, although only in imagination. Since that day, I convinced myself that someday, when I grow up, I will see those places with my own eyes :) About twenty some years later, my turn came. I stand here, a few thousand miles away from home. About once a week I call home, talked to my parents about this place. About the harsh winter in Pittsburgh, about my new town near Philadelphia, about my new job. I might not be here if my father never brought me those pictures, told me st...
