I’m a F**Cking IDIOT

Thursday, February 22nd, 2007

I cannot believe this, I’m still so angry about myself until this second.  Dua minggu lalu gue dapet interview with Bechtel Corporation dan Mortenson pada hari bersamaan.  Gue pengen banget kerja di Bechtel, soalnya itu the biggest construction company in THE WORLD, bahkan dia punya kantor di Jakarta.  Dari university gue, cuma 3 orang dapet interview, including me, so I was sooo happy.  Besoknya, setelah gue interview, gue kirim email ke dia, bilang thank you buat interviewnya.  And the stupid thing happened, karena gue mau kirim email thank you buat Mortenson juga… gue dengan begonya, kirim email terbalik… yang seharusnya buat Mortenson, malah kekirim ke Bechtel.  Isinya so totally irrelevant, dan gue thank you ke orang yang salah.. dari "Dear Ms…." aja udah salah sampe kebawah2.  Dan gue gak sadar, sampai 3 menit lalu gue ngecek email gue, dan kaget sampe jantung gue mau berhenti.  I JUST BLEW MY BEST CHANCE TO WORK WITH THE BEST COMPANY.  I’M A F**CKING IDIOT… CAN’T BELIEVE THIS MAN…

hari ini juga, gue kirim email ke Bechtel dan thank you buat interviewnya.  I’m so stupid… I don’t know how to correct this.  Gue tinggal menunggu email penolakan.  I will regret this for so long… The only way to forget this is to get as rich as possible and to remind myself later that this is because I was rejected by Bechtel.  STUPID ASS… Oh god, please restrain me from killing myself.

John Mayer Rockkssss

Thursday, February 15th, 2007
Hari valentine, 14 feb 2007 kemaren is one of the best time of my life, not because I got a boyfriend, but because I spent it with john mayer …. my god he’s so awesome.
Gue udah ngajakin semua orang di madison buat nonton John Mayer, gak ada yang mau… abis katanya konsernya hari rabu malem disaat orang lagi sibuk2nya… but for my john mayer, I don’t care.  Untung temen baik gue Mark mau, jadi dia khusus dateng dari chicago buat nonton… aduh baiknya…
So, demi konser john mayer, gue dengerin CD Continuum diulang-ulang sekitar 5 kali sehari sebelumnya, maklum, lagunya john mayer tuh sooo deep, kadang2 gak ngerti.  Gue paling suka album kedua, heavier than my body, tapi yang continuum juga keren, rada2 blues… Kemaren di konser, John Mayer nyanyi lagu almost everything dari Continuum: waiting for the world to change (the best so far), trus gravity, belief, bold as love, vultures, trus I’m gonna find another you…. but the best part was when he sang heavier than my body, no such thing, why georgia, and your body is wonderland as the encore….
Gue makin cinta nih ama john mayer…. dengan ini, gue udah menambah "my concert experience", dari mariah carey di berkeley, celine dion di las vegas, josh groban dan michael buble di milwaukee, daniel powter dan jolin tsai di taipei, rockapella di madison, F4 di jakarta (god, I used to be their biggest fan…), and now, john mayer in my very madison.  Gue pernah bilang kalo gue punya 3 pilihan untuk nonton konser, gue bakal pilih: john mayer, beyonce, ama jay chou.  Now I can cross one of my VIP lists.  Bulan april ada christina aguilera nih… I’m hoping I can go, hopefully with a LOT of people, so the fun could ensue.
Anyway, so valentine is not a bad day at all.  Selain gue bisa ntn john mayer, gue dapet kartu, boneka, dan coklat from my secret angel LOLITA (lagi main secret angel nih disini… besok is the day of revelation), trus USB gue yang ilang di campus yang penuh dengan file2 super important ternyata ditemukan ama temen gue sendiri, padahal dia gak pernah tau USB bentuknya kayak apa (how weird and how magical is that…. thank god). I had a great time with my roomate Eileen, who cooked me brownie for this valentine.. how sweat.   And for the first time, I sent a valentine card to my brother in LA, don’t know what made me did that, but I feel good.  I think I’m gonna do that again next year, and the year after that.
So the point is, even though you’re single, valentine shouldn’t stop you from having fun.  In fact, valentine should remind us of how much we are loved, and how lucky we are.   After all, valentine is about love… and we all have love.

Dinginnn…..

Tuesday, February 6th, 2007

Udah 3 hari di Madison suhunya sekitar -25 C, ditambah dengan wind chill, it feels like -32 C.  By all mean, this is not the place for human.  Waktu rumet gue Eileen pulang ke rumah, dia sampe teriak "It’s cold like hell".  Dan kelas 7:30 malem gue di cancel "due to extreme  coldness".  Gile, seumur hidup gue belum pernah ngerasain tempat dingin begini.  Menurut gue, ini gara2 global warming…. hohoho…. no kidding …. makanya musti save the environment, recycle your stuff…

Minggu lalu di kelas geology, ada satu cewek masuk untuk promosi environment club baru namanya WISPIRG… trus gue iseng2 tulis nama gue, setelah itu ternyata gue ditelponin 3 hari berturut2 ama mereka, supaya gue dateng dan volunteer bersama mereka hari ini …. damn, didn’t think that coming… tentu saja gue bilang gue bakal dateng, supaya gue gak ditelpon2 lagi, but who knows…

Btw, it’s snowing hard outside… but it’s a good sign.  It means the weather is warming a little.  Hope it gets warm soon…
