For a change

If anyone asks me what I've been up to these days, I will finally have answers. I'm currently a student at Binus Center's short course program, taking the web authoring class every morning, and I still teach at Chrysolit (even though I'm hanging on a thin, thin rope there), and two afternoons a week I jog in Senayan with Bangun.

I feel noble.

Anyway, I can conclude my oh-so-busy days into:

a. I am now interested in web designing, digital imaging, and even interior designing. 3D Max, someday I'm gonna come to you and conquer your world. Just wait.

b. I have been feeling healthy recently, thanks to my four-km-a-day of jogging and walking.

c. I am getting more and more tired working at Chrysolit, but I know if I quit I will lose my salary. And I have my own inexplicable satisfaction from earning my own money. As my mom said, my "workaholic" side is starting to show, even if it's just a tiny bit. Workaholic? Me?

d. Which leads me to the last point. I can apparently stop being a slacker. Again, I feel noble for having a few things to keep me busy. I miss my sleep, but I'm still not complaining.

One more thing. These recent earthquakes and tsunami had made my mom think twice about letting me go to Bali, which on the second thought, she decided to forbid me. She has a reason, and I gotta say, what a reason. I can't fight it at all, obviously. I usually get what I want, and I've been blown twice in a month. Now I'm just so upset, and let me say only this once 'cos I've been holding it back.

TAU GITU KAN NONTON COLDPLAY AJAAAAAA!!!!!!

The sight and sound of Bali now hurt me.

A little time-out

What were you like at school?
I was probably the quiet one. I had my own world with my friends, not in the we-move-our-booty-therefore-we're-the-prettiest-girls-in-school crowd nor in the bullied, why-does-everyone-keep-looking-at-me-weirdly crowd. To help, one girl referred to me and the girls as "geng jetset". What the fuck.

What's your most treasured possession?
Emotionally speaking, RuniBuneRozelleBangunDindaMama. Physically, my phones, my car, and my CyberShot.

When did you last cry and why?
This little brat almost cried when Mummy said no Singapore trip to see Coldplay live for this year. Seriously, Coldplay!!! But I did cry last Friday-Saturday, following my Batukaras trip.

What's your poison?
Cigarettes and caffeine.

Pick five words to describe yourself.
Selfish, different, quiet, goofy, and did I mention, selfish?

What's in your pocket right now?
My brain, full of Coldplay-related thoughts.

Who was the last person you punched?
I don't punch.

What was the last record you bought?
Snow Patrol

What's your most unpleasant characteristic?
Selfishness. I have to get what I want.

What's your greatest fear?
Loneliness, and recently, commitment-related future.

What's the greatest film ever made?
"Film Persahabatan" starring Cecile, Bianca, Tamara and Brian.

Can you recite a line of poetry?
I don't read poetry..Paling puisinya temen gua si Runi. My favorite so far, the unpoppables one.

What turns you on?
In guys? Eyes, lips, current affairs masters.

Happiness is ...
When I get what I want.

Where are you going now?
NOT to see Coldplay, from the looks of it.


Cheers to Runi's old blog entries.

I WANT TO WATCH COLDPLAY!! I want to pack my bags, arrive in Singapore on the 9th, see the gig the next day, and go back home probably on the 12th.

I have to get it out of my system. Or better yet, I have to find an affordable way to go there. I keep hearing their songs and picturing them on stage in my head. I'm going nuts.
