i always wanna take a spontan trip and just take off to somewhere far far from this crowded-slash-busy city called jakarta. so, next friday, i get a day off from office. i didn't plan that actually. my boss said that i got a day off if i worked on saturday. and i did work on last saturday. so i applied to get a day off, and voila i got it, without any plan. shoot. i don't want to spend those three days at home, watching more dvds. i wanna go somewhere, do something. even if i have to go alone. a bit scary though. but why should i keep waiting for company, when i can go all by myself?
so i did a little research. i decide to see Yogyakarta. i searched for planes and trains. it's a bit expensive, considering i'm just a newbie in my office. but hey, it's a chance to arrange my escape, even for a moment. after that, my friend offered me to go to Medan with her. She wants to meet her cousins there. hmm it's a tempting offer. but Medan is also outside javanese island. and i don't think my parents allow me to go outside this island by myself. i did ask my so-called-clique friends to come with me. yeah and as usual, no direct and exact answer. so i take it as a no.
soo here i am. alone at last. trying to create a nice-slash-cheap escapade.
who knows, maybe one day i get a chance to travel around indonesia.
one day, just wait and see :)
playing : '..gotta live like we're dying'
NICE!!

blessed... or not?
it's 15:30 now.
i'll be off of my office at 17:00. i'm not doing anything at the moment. except maybe finish my project and monthly reports. and i won't finish it today.
in the middle of this nothingness, i log on to my facebook and found out some informations about a couple of my junior high school friends. and i just wonder, how could they be so lucky? flying around the world, joining prestigious competitions. why didn't i interest in any of that? instead, i drowned myself into some organizations and joined a lot of events. shoot. did i make the wrong choice? should i follow those competitions instead? i started to question every choice i made, something i haven't really thought about for quite some times. i always thought that those things shaped me into the way i am now. but does the 'now' me is really that good?
i can't help but feeling a bit jealous to them. it was, until i remember a part of song that keep playing on my head this day. this is a song from Adele called Rolling in the Deep. there's a line on that song stated : 'Count your blessings to find what you look for'.
That line got me thinking. And i started to refresh my memory, refresh my social network. and those evidences of my blessings started to show everywhere. started from all of my activities in college, my graduation, and my work. those evidences really show how lucky i am now.
each person has a different path. thus, they get a different bless.
mine were not always look as fabulous nor exciting as theirs. but it's mine. i get that from a really long hard work.
so i'll say, i'm lucky. i'm blessed.
in my own way :)
