It’s January, 17th 2012. A new page of my career will begin in less than 24 hours.Yup, I get a new job at Fifty Four Communications starting tomorrow. It’s a small advertising agency here in Jakarta. I got this job unplanned and suddenly. It’s like almost a year after I submit my application there as a copywriter. Why did I accept this job? Simply because I’m still curious about working in advertising and I feel like it’s time for me to get bigger responsibilities.Working in advertising always known for its tight schedules and deadlines but most importantly you have to challenge yourself everyday for a new fresh idea for advertising materials. One thing that I wanna do since I learn about advertising in uni is becoming a copywriter, so when there’s an opportunity to be one, I gotta say yes.

I want to share a little story about my employment at Townsquare Group.This past year has been a great experience for me working for a company which run shopping malls. Working there didn’t feel like working cause you can always find entertainments and stuff. If I wanted to shop, there’s a lot of stores, if I wanted to watch movies there’s a theater, if I felt bored or hungry there’s a lot of restaurants and cafe. The people itself feels like a family since it’s not a big company. I met a lot of people from electricians to managers. There are a lot of stories in that 0ffice that I’m gonna missed. For my team and a lot of nice people there, I love you and keep up the good work. Though we’re not working together anymore, you’re always be my friends and family.

It’s really sad to leave a place where feels like your second home. It’s really is a tough decision to leave but life must go on, and you gotta learn to get out from your comfort zone. So, I hope Fifty Four could be my other home in the future. I already met some of the guys and so far they seems nice and fun. Here comes a long night of deadlines and heavy workloads. Challenge accepted!

Toothpaste Kisses

I’m literally smiling when i’m writing this post. I just got back from uni, dropped Teddy at Citos. When we were talking, there’s a little girl, a curly ‘bule’ (indonesian slank languange for a foreign people) girl, maybe around 3 or 4 years old came to me and KISSED ME. She kissed me suddenly. It was really a surprise and literally made me happy. Not long, her father came and said sorry to me smiling, and I said it’s okay, and then they were gone.

I was also had a nice chat with a bule man on last christmas. Citos hired Sexy Santas to celebrate christmas. I supervised them while they were entertaining visitors. And then, came a mid-age man, asked to take photos with the santas. After took some photos, he asked me to send him the picture via e-mail. He gave me his email which is a french yahoo. So I asked him whether he’s french and he seemed very excited telling that he’s french and he’s happy in Indonesia. We chatted for a while. He asked which part of Indonesia I come from and I’m very surprised that he knew Batak, Jawa, etc. He said Indonesian girls are pretty and told me that he was here to visit his family and spend christmas together. He was a really nice person.

Sometimes, the people you least expected could really make your day. It could be nice short chat with a stranger or even a kiss from a little kid who’s out from her parent’s eyes. It’s one more thing to be thankful and feel blessed everyday.

Happy New Year guys 

Dream Catcher

I just feel like writing. The clock in my PC say it’s 7.53 pm, still in the office though, i just finished taking photos of Citos’ visitor for the bulettin. There’s only like 4 or 5 persons here. Bruno’s live performance is playing in the background. He performed runaway baby with a lil bit touch of ska music. My head is nodding and my body’s shakin, hahaha. My desk is kinda messed up right now. My drawer is opened and there’s a pair of socks there, haha, it’s such a multifunction drawer ya know, i put everything there.

by the way, i think i wanna talk about dreams. There’s a lot of things that made me think about it this past few days. I’m a dreamer. I think that’s what i enjoy most when i’m alone since like i don’t know when. I love dreaming about a life out there, maybe being a free person in paris, hanging out around eiffel. I dreamt about being a rockstar and lived in hollywood. that kind of stuff is really fun to dream about. It’s silly, but it’s fun, and it’s not real hahaha. but i have a lot of dream, real dream, the dream that in reality i’ve been tryin to achieve. All this time i’ve been working to get it and it’s kinda tiring. sometimes, when i’m down, went home and tryin to sleep it’s kinda came and strike you. i kept asking what if to myself. what if I cannot get wat i want, what if i don’t get in before my deadline (that i made by myself, haha), what if i won’t get a chance to experience to live in that dream.

When you really want something and you try really hard to make it happen, sometimes it could make you really depressed. it’s poor ya know, depressed about something you don’t get yet. sometimes, i did. sometimes, i just wanted to stop, taking an easy way out and stop tryin. It was always seem like the easiest thing to do. to give up. It’s never been easy for me to be here today. Since i was a little kid I’m the kind of girl who always bustin my ass in school, i took a lot of courses and pratices. I fight through a lot of things in my life until now. Everything’s never been easy. why? because i’m not rich, i’m not a genius, i’m not popular, and many other things. I’m not born with that advantages. Thank god I had such a great parents who know how to build that fighting spirit high. I had always been a kid that fights and will always be. it’s in my blood.

So here i am, I’m 22, just building my career. I really hope and pray and fight all my best to achieve my dreams. I really want to tell you what it is, but i wonder if i don’t achieve it in the future and i already told everybody about it i will be very devastated. so i’m keeping it to my self. only me and god knows what it is. and only me and god know how bad i’ve always wanted it and how hard i fight. i really do. we’ll see in the next 3 years if it’s gonna happen or not. my 25 years old me had to write another post about it. see ya.

PS: Find someone funny when you get depressed. Other’s emotion could influence yours. Believe me, it works.

Craving

Doppleganger

Dealing with my routine and kinda boring here. Unfortunately my college is in holiday and I’ll be a full time worker until Sept, 26th.

Yeah well, lemme tell you about my work since I think I never told my work story here. I’m dealing with digitital media and other promotion media of a mall in Jakarta, Cilandak Townsquare. It’s such a cool mall, I guess, since it’s more like a row of restaurants and cafe. The people I’m working with is pretty cool and much older than me.

Anyway, I can’t sleep now and looking for something to do. And then I remembered, how’s my InterAd entry? I just kinda forget it after I submitted. Hell yeah, whatever, I’ve tried my best.

By the way, about last week I bought 4 pairs of shoes at once. This shoesaholic’s kinda freak me out. I just wear one of them until now, because if my mom find out , she’s gomma be on fire, cause I had too much shoes at home.

Oh yeah, maybe u’re wondering why’s the title doppleganger? Nothing special. I just love how it spelled and sound, and I’m a big fan of How I Met Your Mother series. Barney Stinson just LEGEND wait for it DARY!

Time to go, hope to catch up with u very soon, and hopefully not in a crap talk like this, haha! Bye!

Hideaway: Tidung Island

windadodoy — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 07:43:00 +0000

Hi! It’s time for holiday!

This is my trip with my colleagues at Citos. We went to Tidung Island, an island located at North Jakarta, Indonesia, to be exact at Thousand Islands. To get here, you have to cross the Jakarta Bay by Fisherman’s boat from Muara Angke Port or Marina (Ancol). The sea trip’s about 2 hours. Don’t expect to find a hotel or even resorts. Here, there’s only local resident’s houses to be rented. They also can provide you with food, bicycle, and snorkeling equipments. If you googling, you can find agents that will help you planning your vacation here.

We had a pretty good time here and here’s some snapshots of my vacation.

I’ll tell you about my visit to my grandfather’s house. It’s located in Porsea, North Tapanuli, North Sumatra. Beside that, me and my beloved BIG family, include my cousins, uncle, aunt, and many more that i don’t know how to call them, went to some places like Toba Lake, Tomok (Samosir Island), Singkarak Lake, Siantar City, and passed through many cities on our roadtrip home.
