5 hours prior another year- A Reflection of Self

Well, hello guys. Here I am at home in my living room. Chillin' with my fams. Yes, I know this blog is not the way I want it to be, "One Day One Post" seems to be a little out-of-the-line for me. I had so many things going on for me. Anyhow, from now I am just going to post things when I can and when it is relevant. No more forcing myself.

Anyhow, how was 2014, you say?

Well, let me reiterate it in one simple word: surprising

I am just going to elaborate in a free-style writing of my own flashing back this very own year.

Okay, so 2014. It has been a rather unforgettable year, for me at least. It is not because of me going to places, it is more of me finding myself. I mostly stayed inside of the country. I explored so many things I also have learnt Spanish as a new language this year. Got into MUN world a bit more.. Had some swings and short relationships... I made new friends as well as losing my friends. This, I am not sure why.. I have behaved the way I think I have but they just fade away .. maybe I am not compatible with them, who knows. Besides that, I have also learnt through so many movies and tv shows that are endless, especially over the summer lol. Managed to finish series like Breaking Bad, Friends and others which I cannot say here one by one. I am just happy and have no regrets. In terms of physically, I feel like this year I have been more healthier and fitter in most occasion and I am proud of myself of that. I am also happy witnessing enormous changes from my sister who had been struggling to fight with me. :) In terms of studies, I have been adapting with the real majoring lectures this semester but I am now waiting for the marks soo wish me luck!

Well, is it all about "good" surprising ? nope. You are right. In this section, I am going to tell the other side of the post. Yep. I have liked this girl. I really have. I have known her but barely talked to her.. different faculty and she is a busy person in terms of organisation sake. IDK until my last week of finals... I found she had a bf..well it hurts I gotta say. but I am alright I guess... also my last day of turning my papers at the last day of semester...she was with him... I was about to enter the restaurant.. gladly I check my phone first. I also have been more attached to my phone.. anyways that is a short review of my surprising year of 2014. I hope 2015 will be a better year in general and awesome specifically! :D - ridhaflo

Getting back on track in life...

So hey guys, how's it going.?

I hope you had a great summer this year.. Like right now I start on writing again as I felt like I have wasted so many times 'forcing' myself go write, but also 'forgetting' the essence of writing also. So I guess the bottom line is you cannot force yourself to write or just basically anything in life. Write whenever you feel like.

So going back to the reason I am writing this article. I had a great summer, consisting of families, Tv Shows/ Movies/ Books,, friends, as well as personal life. So for family, I went on my trips and gladly this year I had the whole Ramadhan with my family. It got kind of tedious when my Mbak went back to her village for Ied Fitr. I am sorry if I tend to write emotionlessly as my hands hurt from restarting to working out again,  but I will get to that. Anyway, I watch World Cup too and although my team (England) did not get it, I was proud of Germany winning in the end.

For the part as I would call it "exploration of self",  I have so many romance. Tv shows, I finished the whole series of Friends and finished Big Bang Theory too. I am on hold waiting for season 8. I am also tryina finish How I met your mother (again). For books I read many philosophical and war junkie books like Tan Malaka and so on.

For friends, I hung out a lot during summer and had fun. I had a summer fling, too. It was great but you know how it is about fling. I am still madly in love with the girl  I have not met in person.... I am now in  third semester,  things I  terms of studies are much harder and complex.  I barely sleep at night,  only during weekends in the morning. Now it is my third week (Monday will be forth week) of my college life. I have been shattered,  teared down by someone I truly believed but ended telling  me 'the good news' which is unfortunately a 'bad news' for me. I have been seeing a few, but there is this girl. She is not as glamorous,  just simple. It's those eyes and those curves in her smile tnat melt my heart. Yes,  I have yet to meet her. But I will soon. She is not from my campus. She is in different city but I don't care. Once I get the chance to see her,  I will  seize the moment. I know it's too but I feel like trying. As Einstein conceded that " what is certain is the uncertainty itself". So might as well just try. I have been trying to get in shape again, it has been nearly a month..I did my training and I am engaged in to my self-made program of #100dayschallenge. Next week is going to be a hectic one, wish me luck. That is all for now. Adios!

Distorted Blog-Distorted Life

So yeah. I don't really know what's up with me. I do not even feel as excited for holiday. You know, those major summer holiday, 3 months worth of fun. Nope. Something is missing. Yes indeed it is.

So it all started when I first saw you through a picture in my friend's phone. I was making a bet on my friend to actually introduce me to someone whom I would be interested in and she did. I really was interested. I do not know why, specifically saying. Her eyes, her hair, her looks. So gorgeous yet so simple. It took me a second to realise that she's perfect in this pair of goggles, in this pair of eyes. I could not see a single scratch. It was indeed love at first sight.

That night, dated on June 7, exactly last week after studying at my apartment's, I was supposed to continue reviewing, but boy I could not. I kept thinking about her. I did not know her name, I haven't even seen her in person. But yet, the feeling is so profound. I have never felt like this to a woman. My friend was being very tricky, she had to do something before actually giving me the picture I fell in love to. Yes. A picture, I could not believe I just said it. It may be true from what I am experiencing right now that a picture speaks a thousand words, I confirm that. I really want to know about her. After 3 hours of undergoing agony of waiting for the picture, my friend finally sent it to me. She was such an amazement. I kept on asking my friend since she could not completely refer to her name, but finally after some research, I found her. I was so happy that night.

Unfortunately, a happy event does not mean that it will always be sequentially happy, as in your life. Today I took the last exam of the semester. I was supposed to be happy, given the fact I will have three months of holiday! I was very happy at first. Then my friend told me she saw her. I was already on the way home. I was shattered. Like really, I regretted it. I did not know why but it was automatically how I felt. I do not know why, call me crazy but I'd rather stay three months more in the campus just to see her.  It was indeed a bad day, a distorted day. I will just have to enjoy my holiday without knowing you for another three months.

Page 58: I remembered going on a very comfortable train, I could sit and read my book I was reading, about Winston Churchill. I arrived fairly early, I did not bring my laptop since it was quite heavy. I prayed and planned to go to a rescheduled interview for HMHI. I forgot to mention that I had an interview the day before, for Orsen Division. and also the BPH. I then rushed from MUI. The meeting was at 1, but I got there merely at 1.05... I did my best. The interview (my senior) was already there. I was glad that she was a very gentle person and she said it was okay and the interview was able to continue anytime I felt ready. So I did. It was alright I guess.It was from the Keilmuan Division. Next, it was from Documentation Division it was a fine interview. My senior said that my writing would be better if I could elaborate more on international relations issues and try to use the perspectivs of IR. I had a DDL class. I was late, but I still got my name called. It was the hardest class I had. I mean, I was lost. I couldn't understand a thing. No help from my friends either, as there were confused too. I went home afterwards and read more of Churchill book on the way. I remembered I had to jump off from the train simply because the station wasn't long enough for the train. Yup, the train was longer. So, as a Third World Country, yes it was a rather common experience here. But for someone who had been living overseas for quite some time, it was horrifying. I was glad I could co-op with it. Anyway, waiting for the angkot was another tragic story. I had to wait for 30 mins, my angkot number was 26. While waiting, there were about 10 or more "27"'s passing by. None are mine. God. I basically complaint when I got home ans died out. End of this session

Page 59: It was a very interesting Saturday. No like other Saturdays. My family planned on going to Pandeglang to look after the plants and other things there. I had it going for quite some while since I miss the scenery and the calm experience it gives me everytime I go there. The roadway travel there was rather smooth, about three hours. We bought some Tofus, special types from the place. We arrived there, we enjoyed the view and we ate. I was bloated. We went home and it was quite a ride. We arrived at about 9-ish. God, it was worth it, though :)

Page 60: It was a lazy-around day. But not the ultimately lazy-round day. I watched the news. CNN, Al Jazeera, and BBC. I also opened it from both my laptop and my phone. There were four major headlines going on in the international world: Syrian Crisis, Ukraine Crisis, Venezuelan anti-government protest and Thai protest against Ying Luck. I wish I could elaborate more, just like my senior said but then again I still have inadequate amount of knowledge to be able to analyse it. But as far as I'm concerned, from the Realist view of Thucydides, it was the realpolitik situation going on in Ukraine. I will take Ukraine as the topic. With the tension rising between Russia and Ukraine, after the announcement of the occupation of the Crimean region of Ukraine, there were different perspectives among them. However, from what I can analyse is that Ukraine, as the weak state has to accept what Russia, as the big state tell them to do. Otherwise, it would lead them to a war. Ukraine did not do it. Instead, they overthrew the Pro-Russian PM of Ukraine, Yanukovych. Crimea, the military based and also half of its population coming from Russia ethnic background, Vladimir Putin felt that it was rather threatening towards his nation and also the people of Crimea, specifically the Russian ethnics. Therefore, after the occupation, The PM interim of Ukraine said that Putin's action towards the invasion of Crimea was a "declaration of war" and the Ambassador of the Ukraine for UN seeks help for international society as well as asking for assistance towards NATO. It will be interesting what comes next and I will try to find it and make it interesting ane repackage it! Stay tuned :) Anyway for today, I basically ate normally, unlike the past two days and I also exercised. :D

Page 61: Okay, there it goes. I woke up  at 5, but I was too lazy so I snoozed my alarm for three times, waking up at 5.15. I rushed to the bathroom and prepared. I prayed and ate breakfast. I read the remaining of the Churchill book. I requested to go earlier since it's Monday, the start of the week. As predicted, it was a hell for me. I'm glad I decided to preare for it in advance. As I came to the station, I immediately got a train so it was a spontaneous thing. I read again and finally got out. I went to my campus and found my old pal from Criminology, Taufik and helped him with some English. I went to the class afterwards. I had to get absence list and also a couple of plain papers. So I did. We reviewed the theories of past, present, and future. Basic stuff. But then came the game. It was fun. We had  to guess for the functions of the tense and make a sentence for it. Then I returned my Churchill book and got McArthur. I was accompanied with my Sociology friend, Imam. We came to the next class, MMI. It was a great discussion about the Human Paradox. Pretty dynamic, I liked it. I prayed with my friend and immediately went home as I felt nauseous. On the way to the station, I saw a rather weird looking train: it had the electrical train combined with economic class train. It was unclear of what intention did the maker of the train wanted us to look at.Oh well. In the first train I got to sit at the half of the way, not on the second one. I went home at 3-ish. I rested for a while, watched some news and keep on reading my book. Then I exercised for a while and here I am now! How was your day?  :) -ridhaflo

Page 54 to 57 of 365: Exhaustion of the beginning of the second semester

I can seriously tell to you that I have been quite busy. Really. I am really mobile now. I go by train, first dropped to Manggarai Station and I go home by myself with the train to Bekasi and stopping to Klender. Anyway these 4 days have been quite rough ones.. Simply due to the due date of our first paper of Introduction of IR subject. I spent hours and hours on working for it. I did get some rest but it was really not necessary.

So I will just start from what happened today. I woke up quite late, 5.30. I slept for only 2 hours, roughly. I ate the usual deal and it was quite frustrating because my sister was late herself so it affected my departure from home. Yes, it rained. I ended up being soaky wet in the knees and down. I had to deal with it for the rest of the day! I did quite get my hopes on going to the train early and thank God I could sit. I finally arrived and I talked with my fellow, Nanda from the Administration majoring about how bad the weather is and the service the train brings. I then proceeded to go to the class. So many of us weren't there yet and some of them were late. Even the lecturer. Maybe due to various reasons, like rain and such. It was such a pity though. The lecturer gave a whole deep explanation so much that the group presenting had little to no time to do it. I remember on raising up the question of feminism, as the topics were about paradigm. Anyway I needed to fix some things from my paper so I went to printer center in the Nusantara Building with my friend Dyah of my majoring and went to SBAL shortly after that. We arrived in the class quite early. It took awhile till we started the actual class. It was a class of presentation, a sudden one. There was Lulu and Nisa (Adam Smith), Anin and Ridho (David Ricardo) as well as Odhi and Utik (Karl Marx). I went to Central Library of my campus with my friend to return our books previously borrowed. We then came curious and looked through the biography sections. We also tried to find "Gerpolek" of Tan Malaka but good news. So we ended up going down and finding ourselves to the FoodTruck! YES. Jakarta has it now. Then we made our way home, me by training and him to his apartement. My train to Manggarai was quite comfortable. Not so many people, as to compare with the Bekasi. God. So I came home. Oh wait all this time I have been reading the biography of Winston Churchill, by Virginia Cowles. Great one and looking forward to borrow other sorts. Anywho, I ate Gado-Gado at home and read some. Then, basically died out. I woke up at 8 where I did some exercises and then here I am doing this whole blog thing. I will my try best to do it daily, but it is just so hard now since my focus has been divided. SO, how was your day? :)-ridhaflo

Well.. I could not remember much from Friday. All I remembered was I had an MPKT class, teacher was mad. Then I prayed at MUI. I continued to talk to my Communication majoring fellas,Arditto, Ryan and this other one till I have my class. It was the Basics of Logics. Meh. It was fine. Then I decided to search for a book.. with my comrade Bob. All about Lenin. It was the first I have experienced searching for a book I desire and be happy about it when I found it. I talked to Bob and Khilda on the way to the bus station. It was a pretty long wait but we talked a lot. After that, we got on our lwn ways. Mine was in the railways. I went home eventually at 7.30 PM. I died out that day, no physical movements whatsoever.

Then the next morning I woke up merely at 8 and ate the usual deal. Came across an idea to look about the stuff...working out stuff so I did with my sis. After the session, I pretty much remembered me waiting for Grammy Salute's of the Beatles. Splendid. Meanwhile, I was dealing with mpkt, mmi and my majoring summary work about Lenin.

Next day, it was the same. Ate usual food. I ate homemade Gado-Gado, a spicy one though. I read and read about Lenin. Jotted down some points about them. Watched a partial amount of Idol. Then I exercised for a while and all of a sudden, it was night! Had to help my sis with her work, although not so completely since I have of my own to deal with too. Therefore now here I am reading my butt off till drop. That is all. Chao.-ridhaflo

Page 49 to 50 of 365 : Sleepy sleepy day

Brief description of yesterday was that I had an English lecturer the same as last week which was fun! We met at last with our MMI lecturer who looked like Anies Baswedan. Picked my badge's photocopy from Waru. No workouts, saving it for later.

Today I woke up at 4.45, hoping to be early. Buuuut my dad was not awake and my sis as well. In the end, it would take the same as usual. I had to take a huge load of the books previously ordered. Struggled on moving between train rails as it was heavy. Gladly I found my friend Radit who helped me through to get to class as it was also gladly in the first floor. The class was rather boring of PMPS but oh well. After that, I had to change my summary work just so that my name would not be there as our lecture likes it that way. My friend accompanied me there. Took a few tries to get the printer done and I went back to the previous class and went to the third floor. I ate my food there and just sat there alone. The class began and our lecturer talks about basic concepts of famous people. It was interesting one. I decided to go to FE kafe and talked to my friends there until 4.30!! I went back by bikun and then by train which arrived suddenly. I got to sit. It was long and the worst thing about this is that bekasi station are we were just dropped on the ground. So I decided hug up and went to Cikini. After that, got a cab and took me 2 hours! The driver was talking about politics of this country and he had to change to a better Indonesia. I worked. A lil and finished mpkt b assignment!! Doone. Now I am sleeping. If you excuse me, Byee. -ridhaflo

Page 48 of 365 : Well.. it was a day I guess.

Nothing special today. But hey everyday is a unique day! So  I woke up at 8. I ate oatmeal and played with my cats. Then my dad and I went to this place for some business matter. We finished it and bought some sand for repairment of my house. Then this came the accident... when we were about to turn left on a three way. There was a cat crossing on the road. Just as we saw it passing by, it was immediately hit by a motorcycle!! You know what's worse? It's still partially alive.... it was really terrifying yet gruesome and also sad feeling. The guy did even turn back. He kept going. So then I went home and picked all those heavy sands. It might weight up to 300jgs or so. So I did my assignment of IR major that is due on Thursday this week and finished till 5 as I was tired. Not really finished. Then I went to Tiptop with my dad and bought healthy groceries. Nothing much after that except preparing for tomorrow, worked out and also chatting with someone so yeah. Oh I had Salmon as my lunch and dinner dish!! Yum!! 😊How was your day? -ridhaflo

Page 47 of 365

So today was pretty much the start of the week. It was Monday. Both excited and insanely exhausted at the same time. Meanwhile, all went well except I ate bread instead of oatmeal cuz I had to take medicine. Oh well. But then, I got myself into a trouble. A troublesome one it was highly insane. The traffic I am trying to refer to. I made it at 7.30 at the station yet I waited up to 15 mins. I was basically late. Then I arrived in the campus approx at 8.15-ish. It was still acceptable by the lecturer so I got in. It was English. We were told to get a Captain of the class. We all voted. Guess what? I got nominated. You know what's more thrilling?? I won. LOL. It was kind of unexpected but I hope all goes well. Anywho, I hung out a little with my fellow IR friend Saskia quite awhile talking and headed myself to the building A, returning the projector. I also hung out with some IR fellows at sbal. Then I met Yoko, my MMI friend and went to the class together. We met our lecturer at last. His name was Mr. Wahyu. He was a young and passionate person and he ressembled Anis Baswedan. Pretty neat. The first presentation was fine and we got out 30 mins early. So my friend Radit had some trouble on his system so we went to the old Library of UI. We were four of us, me , Radit and other two from sociology department, Ino and Ali. We made it and we parted and Radit and I got home on the train. I got home pretty early, at 2.45. Thank god. I rested awhile. Then I slept. Woke up at 5.30 and had dinner. I then proceed to collect some data of my assigments! Yuup busy busy day!! No day without assignments. So after my sis finished her round at around 8.30, it was mine. Until about 10.30 I stopped cuz I had to. In the middle of it, I had to encounter something unpleasant. Nosebleed. It was awhile until there was a medicine found and it was alright. Thank God. I feel it is only from the temperature....and my busy routines as well as my recovery process. So that's all really. How was your Monday? 😊-ridhaflo

February 14 : Y'all know about valentine. I had a start of the day, I had to go to classes and all. Had to pray too. The difference was that I was able to spend it with someone special. It may not be the fanciest or whatever, but it was really meaningful, at least to me. I had a really great day! Although I bumped my head on my way home on the car ceiling which hurt. No workouts at all. Resting since the moment I got sick commenced here.

February 15 : I got sick. Flu. Fever. Headache. You name it. All day resting. Been given medicine and all. No activities or whatsover except just accompanying my sis to the stadium for running.

February 16: Woke up at 8, ate bread with egg. I took a medicine. I was supposed to go to the orthodontist, but her child was in hospital. Then, I went to the photocopy place and did some business on photocopying many books. After that, bought some groceries of my own and went home. Voila, all of a sudden, mom started to say she will go to Ancol. Aaand I have done nothing on my paper for both MPKT B and MMI. I really did it rapidly for MPKT B and sent it. MMI, on the other hand, I ended up doing it in the Bengawan Solo Cafe in Mal Ancol. We had a great family time there, although it was quite dark, the sky. My sis was also busy with her homework. I ate Nasi Goreng for dinner, second time of cheating day this month. I went home done some lifting and printed my assignments and here I am now! Hope I will get better so tomorrow I can contribute more towards a better life!! Aaameen. -ridhaflo

Page 43 of 365 : A looong day

Yeep. It has been a long day and I am too tired to expose it so I am going to give a brief story about it. Woke up at 5. Snoozed till 5.30. Ate breakfast and got to go.  I was pretty late but I met my friend of my batch, Faiz and we talked along the way the train. After that, we went to pmps. Waited till 9 AM and the class dismissed. Me and my friends of the class went to the canteen and waited for the next class 11. 2 hours of talking about many things, from the removal of lativi till the current politics in Indonesia. So we came to our first lecture of Pengantar HI. It was terrifying at first but better later on. I went to updhi for books and photocopied them near my house... got it back after 4 hours. Now I am going to rest! Tomorrow is waiting for me! Adios ☺-ridhaflo

Page 42 of 365: Open-door train to Borrowing books from the library!

Yeah. Today was my second day of college in this semester. Yes, yesterday I did not have any lectures. I woke up at 5. I gotta be honest with ya, I died out. I kept pushing and pushing that snooze button till it was like 5.15. I went ahead and took a shower and prayed. All prepared. Ate oatmeal for breakfast. It was 6.30 and we were good to go. No so much traffic jam compared to Monday's. I got to train just as fast as I did. But I did not get to talk to anybody this time, though there was one of my seniors there but he was with his friend. I turned on my phone and put some music on. That, ladies and gentleman was how I managed to survived awkwardness in the train. Once I got out of the train, it was like 7.50. I got to my faculty it was 5 mins left. It was the same subject so I thought it would be in the same room. I already got there but no one was there. I checked the schedule. Third floor. So I hurriedly came up. Most of my friends were already there. The lecturer soon came in. He was a substitute, though. Telling us his name was Seagate (Sigit)...and he was a piece of humour! Although there were some pretty disturbing noises and distractions from the class next to us, but he managed to make it a laughable thing. It was then we were told to dismiss. I initially wanted to eat with my fellow friends of the class, but just when I entered the toilet, I met my friend Bob and yes. We talked and talked. Not so long after, joined with Lulu, Reine and Dyah from my majoring as well talking and talking. It was already the time to go so we came in to the next class. MPKT B. The lecturer was my previous Anthropology lecturer in the previous semester. I knew him and his way of lecturing. I meet him quite a lot during the day, be it at the campus or even in the Manggarai Station. He talked about philosophies of being an "ayam kampung" not being an "ayam boiler".. pretty fascinating. We came out early so I headed to the central library with my friends, Ade and Ali. We borrowed the book but Ali was not able to since he has yet gotten the real KTM from PPAA. I prayed after that we Ade and meeting with Hafidz and Yoko. We went to Building A for some motor parking stickers. I went home afterwards, not long after that I got myself a train. And no. I have yet eaten lunch and it was 2 something. I was shocked when halfway through, during one of the stations, the train commenced to move but the door was still wide open! The craziest thing was the there was the security but she didn't give a damn!! It could really hurt somebody!! But oh well. NOBODY CARES. I guess... Anyway, I got meself to the train station. The train was still in Kota. Pretty long way through. This time, I utilised it to eat my lunch! It felt great LOL. Then I got the train. It was not bad. I got home straight directly. Met my mom and dad. Some minor repairs in the house. I made some shakes. I played with my kittens and cat. Casual stuff. Watched TV. I was reading scele but I was really exhausted from the heat because today was just simply HOT!! yeah. No wind or whatsover. I slept and died out. I woke up at 6.30. I prayed and ate dinner. I moved my body till like 10 and took a shower. I went down to drink my remaining of the shakes while watching TV about the illegal hunting of the elephants in Chad by the Sudanese military. Also an Airshow in Singapore, where they basically sell helicopter that accommodates the speed of an aeroplane and lastly, Tony Abott's speech of the Aboriginal's state in Australia. Here I am now. Trying to look back and recall all the things I have encountered today on my laptop. I hope you had a great day. I cannot wait what tomorrow brings! See you! -ridhaflo

Page 41 of 365 : Meh Day.

Todaay was the first day of this semester I experience the vacancy of Tuesday. As you probably know, Tuesday is supposed to be a productive day but due to the schedule, we do not have to go to college. Anyway, I woke up at 10-ish. Ate breakfast and roughly not so long after ate chicken roast with bread. Watched some TV and failed to put Pokemon Black on sis' DS. Seriously I wasted 2-3 hours worth of time... gee. Later, my sister got home and we played around with our kittens and our cat. It was noon and I worked around a little, not forcing too much since tomorrow I need to be fit and then I was told to help out sis on doing her history for her test tomorrow! About the process of islamisation in indonesia.. it was supposed to be last week but it was postponed so yeah. Can't wait for tomorrow and what it brings to this book I have written here! 😊😄-ridhaflo

Page 40 of 365 : First day of Semester 2!!

Well, it was quite pleasing! Anyway, I had to wake up at 5 AM. I snoozed my alarm for two times, leaving it at 5.20 and being shouted on to wake up. I prayed and took a shower. I was finished by 6.00 and waited for sis to go first. I went approx at 6.30, using the Utan Kayu route and boy how it was so crowded! I managed to get to the Manggarai station at 7.05. Not so long after I got my feet on it. It was not crowded at first. But it did get quite a lot after a couple of minutes. Then, I met my senior kak Karen who was also having a morning lecture class. We talked and talked about many things. It was then I met another senior of mine, kak Iceng and got ourselves on our way to FISIP. I also met my friend from 68, Andhara and Atep. Anyway, I had to attend the first class and it was English. At first I thought the teacher was one heck of a scary person, but then later on I figured out she was rather nice. Not sure about the gradings she use though. So far so good. Oh and my name was not in the absency list since my PA did not approve my subjects yet. Haha. So I have yet to receive an English book. So, I went to Takor, the faculty canteen to eat. Damn how I miss it!! First, I was with Ridho and Bob. Not long after, the girls joined. Odhi, Khilda, Rhifa, and Asya. Odhi was apparently telling us stories about her visit to Pakistan. So I was late. It was bad. 15 mins late. I thought I might have screwed up. But when I entered the room, the lecturer was yet there. Later on, it was a substitute lecturer. So we got our Class Leader, Ade Kusuma. We basically were divided in groups of 2 and 3. Blablabla. Next , I went to SBAL. I talked to my IR mates there. I also waited for the time being with my fella, Bob cause we wanted to meet our friend Alif. We met him. Well I did first, when we were on our way to Psychology Canteen. Bob was just going there not noticing me and Alif were going farther him. Haha. He noticed after a few minutes. Since the both canteen were really crowded, we decided to go to Fasilkom. At first we went to canteen but since I did not want to eat we went Yoshinoya. Alif talked about his applying to DKN or whatever that was which was simple for Scouts thing but national level. There, he gave me the ribbon my friend had lent him, and yes it was from Adam. Really nice ribbon! I hope he gets well on the land of Germania. Anywho,at 2 I had to say goodbye. We went on the way to the station. Bob just ran away and had to wait with Alif to look for angkot but it was an unlucky day for him. So I got to the station and finding my fellas from 68 shs, Ivan and Diaz. There was a train so oh well might as well squeeze. Lol. It was not bad. Then when I got to the Manggarai station, I had no money left for angkot lol. Like my money were all big amounts so I went to 7 Eleven. No I did not buy any of its junk foods like Fettucini or Slurpee 😭 life is tough but a chewing gum so I got the change. It was quite a long wait for the direct train to Klender. 20 mins  I presume. So after that it was sooooo crowded. But then I thought to myself if it weren't for my parents, I would not do this. So I managed to survived that smelly and lack of oxygen room.. *sigh* I got home like at nearly 4. My dad and mom greeted me. I just went to drink some of the shake I made the other day. Then boom! I slept. It was not until 7 I had to wake up. So after some eating and such, I moved my body a little and here I am! So tired when I woke up and  I don't know why... So Imma be sleeping when I feel like sleeping lol. So how was your first day of the second semester? Enjoyed it? :) -ridhaflo

Page 39 of 365 : 2nd Semester Tomorrow!! WHAAA

Yep. Starting off the day. I woke up late, fairly at 10-ish. Ate breakfast. Got so lazy today, pretty wounded from yesterday's work out. As I ate lunch, I wanted to continue but like I was too lazy. I watched Idol again and again on Star World. I can't believe I'm on my second semester of my college year!! Pray for me guys, getting better grades and my ol' man and woman proud of me :') I just want to repay all the things they have given me. It is the only way. So I managed to move a bit at 7-ish. Mostly leg, though for today. I wanted to push, but I did not want to go so rough on myself as tomorrow I gotta wake up early!! Tomorrow's class consist of English Classs and MMI!! Wish me luck as I am going to lay my head now and wake up at 5!! Lookin' forward for tomorrow! Wish you guys all luck wherever you are who are reading on whatever you are tryina do tomorrow! Chao.-ridhaflo ;)

Page 38 of 365 : All Day Long

Today was a home day. I did not go out of my house. I had my family mostly. I woke up at 6, which was quite early. My sister had to go to her athletics lesson in her school. After 7, my head started to be dizzy and I decided to sleep. Finding out that when I woke up, it was already 11.30 lol. So yeah great job. I watched some TV with my family. I had chicken soup for lunch, superb! Then after quite a while, came an unexpected visit from my dear older cousin, who happened to bring her daughter (my niece) which was the same age as me, but only a year difference academically. She is in her senior year now and she does work hard to get to PTN. I wish her all the best as I told her that it is possible to achieve that so long you work hard for it and keep praying. There is a process throughout everything so nothing comes at an instant. So after that, my sis came down from her sleep and we basically ate dinner. At 7.30, just about when I wanted to do running, BOOM. Light's out. Like the whole area. Oh damn. I have done nothing. Yet the power is off. Oh god oh god. Then suddenly miracluously as I have already brought those emergency lights out, the lights began to go back again! Yay! I hurriedly did got on my shoes to start the business with it. But hey, it wasn't as smooth as you think it would go. My shoes were broken and they were simply no other comfortable ones except ones that my sis was using for her athletics without my notice, leaving it with dirt all around it. Gee was I mad. I could not take it anymore. I got up on the second floor and did an alternative cardio for 15 mins. After that, I decided to go on an hour. So I finished at 11-ish. Super exhausted. I watched TV with my sis and mom afterwards about the soon-to-come legislative elections and it was pretty sarcastic. Enjoyed it. So anyway now that is so late I might as well get some rest and normalise my sleeping habit as on Monday Imma be goin to college again after 1 and half month trolling around. Haha. See ya guys. :) -ridhaflo

Page 37 of 365: Not Feeling on writing but... *sigh*

Today I woke up fairly early at 7. at first. Then I slept again since I was still tired. I woke up eventually at 9 nearly-to-10 o'clock. I ate and watched TV. If you have followed for awhile, it is Friday therefore we had to pray. After the prayers, my sis came home earlier. I ordered the Gado-gado again but I had it just at 2. AND it was spicy. Sheesh. We played a little with our cat and kittens :) And then my mom went to this arisan in 16.30 while my dad asked me to go to this charity place of our family has been traditionally been doing by motorbike. I was quite shocked since the sky was already dark. I went on with it and saw my dad's decision on the use of motorbike. The access to the place is simply inacessible. How do I put this, the road is small and there are many cars parking on the sideways and not only that. Sellers are also tucking their things up there. Oh dear. It was only in Salemba, near my school but if we used the car it would probably take 2 hours min. Really. So then we got there, thankfully, without getting the rain. We waited for a while for the lady who had the place as there was some pengajian in her house. After that we went to the business and we went back home! As we went, there were a few drops, fearing that it would rain heavily eventually, my dad asked me to wear the raincoat. So we did. And guess what. No rain. Just minor drops. Even until we got home. So there you  go. I watched the crappy Indo Idol and went to American Idol. Fascinating. Then I moved my body a little. I chatted with my buddies on facebook and reminiscing the use of MSN, Yahoo, and Ebuddy mesenger. Daaamn. Those bring sweet good ol' memories, fellas. Yeah. It was very pleasing yet chunky to tell you about my day, but I hope it is aspiring somehow lol. Bye. -ridhaflo

Page 36 of 365 : Pokemon Black Done!!

Yep. Sums it up all over again. At last I finished the Black version by my own hands! Took me a few days, as I am probably gettin' old so yeah.... I woke up pretty late today..like nearly 11 and ate my usual breakfast. Then at 12 as I was catching Reshiram, I had Gado-Gado. Ahh. Sweet joy of Indonesia. It is the best vegetable dish!! Love it. Then I finished it. Now I am doing an aftergame adventure. I had some headache so I kinda slept through some hours of today and woke up during maghrib times. I had some exercises and then later sis asked me to do exercises together so we did. Now as I am writing right now I just had my protein shake done and now continue on ma journey! See yaa! :D

Page 35 of 365 : Tiring DAY!

Yep. Basically sums it all. I had to teach my sis about History of Islam earlier in the previous post as I have talked about and yes it was until late at night so I woke up quite late, about 10 o'clock. I had some oatmeal as breakfast ans 2 hours later it's lunch lol. I know riite. I had Semur for lunch.. only the potatoes and tofus and egg which was okay I guess. Then suddenly my sis' friends came to my house to do their group assignment. Yeah right. I got so sleepy somehow so I slept till like 4 PM or so. They got away already. You might be thinking that I am lazy. Well, I maybe am. Haha. So I had dinner of toasted bread which is was exquisite. Then I pushed to my limit and I realised that this time around is just those time of the year when you are tired but you did not even do anything heavy yet the feeling of exhaustion is there. Have you ever felt it? Yeah since it was such a BUSY day *sure it was* I did not play as much pokemon as I did *sobs* but anyway I am planning to play some now! So catch you guys later! Buhbyeee -ridhaflo

Page 34 of 365 : Tepaaar

Yep. I did so many things..or so I thought I did. Woke up late at 10. I ate oatmeal and had to rushas I needed to drive for the last time. After that, I ate broccoli soap. It was tasty. Then I played Pokemon agaiin.. until my sis came home as I slept and woke up. There was a guest in our house, an older cousin of my mother. Then after that, I continued playing. I had to eat dinner and then help my sis doing her test! Then I worked myself off till 9PM and helped my sis till 12... Then I wake up late now and posted this...sorry. It has been messy indeed.-ridhaflo

Page 33 of 365 : Still on my journey...to become a Pokemon Master lol

Yeah, nothing much today. Woke up late nearly at 12 which was a disaster. Yep breakfast/lunch issue is what I'm talking about. Anyway, I managed to play Pokemon till like 3 and I charged my phone. I then slept and waking up realising my sis was working herself off! Wow. I then hurriedly think that I would need too. So I did. I finished at 9PM. And I helped my sis on her History for her test on wednesday, about the process of islamisation in all parts of Indonesia. Anyway, I just got the 5th badge! Heading for some more fun adventure! Catch yoh guys lateer ;) -ridhaflo

Page 32 of 365 : Pokemon all over again!

Yep you heard it. I have been CRAZY about it. Now that I have finished Silver, now I am ready to set myself up for Black! Yeah. I woke up late today, at 10 ish. Pretty horrific. I ate breakfast and two hours later I had lunch lol. Toasted bread with roasted chicken. Yum. I then went up and play again and again and again.... Until it's 7 PM and it is my time to shine! ;) So it was until 9:30 I played again...and guess what. I have made it to Gym Badge 2.........it is corrupted. Well, it is my fault, actually not to blame the system. It was clear that it had to be saved on the DEVICE not on the inside of the game. I use my note 3 by the way for this since my laptop just could not handle it. *sigh* now I am running out of phone battery so I guess Imma just be watching some walkthrough for inspiration and hopefully this heavy rain finishes off quickly!! :) Night everyone! -ridhaflo

Page 32 of 365 : Holy Cow!!! It rains so much!! + Pokemon sudden memories emerging!!

I had a huge mistake. Yep. I downloaded Pokemon Silver last night on my Note 3. Then the battery wore off so I decided to put it on my laptop. Aaaaaaand I did not sleep as I should be. I mean I literally played till 4 o'clock which then I remembered I slept at 5 !! My sis woke me up at like 10 or something for breakfast, trying the taste of new oatmeal. Banana flavour :d Anyway back to the topic. I was WAAAAAY too obsessed with Pokemon that even after not playing it for a long time, like years, I still can find myself sitting just to play the thing!! It has its own satisfaction for me. Yep. So then I just had lunch, Fish and some indonesian tempeh soup and it was yummy! Guess what? I got back up to my room and continued. LOL Like really, no boredom or anything. But rather curiosity kills me if I don't play! So I did play for hours. Finished the League. Worked out. Decent. Then playing again up till now. Oh and today I cut my hair :P which is for some apparent reason supposed to be told somewhere in between those play game of Pokemon. My dad suddenly asked me if I wanted to, hell yeah. It's been more than a month. Everywhere I go seem so warm due to my long hair. So I did went to the barbershop at like 4-ish. So yeah, NOW I am still chillin' in Kanto's Map. ;) See ya. -ridhaflo

Page 31 of 365: Lunar New Year! and so many things happened to me.

So I fairly woke up at 8-ish as usual. I charged my phone as always. I had to take that tasteless oatmeal again added with honey in it lol. So yeah I got full and just watched TV as I was not feeling so well since the cold weather last night. My sis got on the treadmill earlier than I did. I was too ill to be on the treadmill. Then I had to pray, Friday prayers as usual. Then I thought to myself that so many things are not in the house anymore... we're running out of things. So we headed to Carrefour and bought many things there. It was not until my dad told us to look out for those who suffer from the flood. From Kampung Pulo, Kalibata, Jatinegara, everywhere! We kinda went on a "city tour" :p we passed through Monas, Court of Justice and all that stuff. It said 6 PM when I came home. No shiiz. Really. I felt so dizzy yet I have done nothing. So I kinda put some energy by eating dinner then an hour roughly after that I took my chances and voila! Done. Can't be better than this! So yeah. that's pretty much it for now. Now I AM SOO into my gameboy and PSP. It reminded on so many things, since I found my PSP charger I play on these devices. They still work flawlessly!! So Imma just shut this down to ya by using Happy New Lunar Year to those who celebrate it! May Feberuary (tomorrow or in a couple of minutes) be better than this month!!! Night ;) -ridhaflo

Page 30 of 365 : A What What Day

Haha. Kinda. See how it goes. I woke up at 8.40-ish. Then, I ate the same thing I did, tasteless Quaker Oatmeal dipped with honey on it. It was meh. I got hungry fast though today lol. I then asked for food. They offered me Pempek. I am like meh. Fishy stuff. I know I know...it is kind of oily. or more of OILY. Shite. Anyway, moving on, I had light headache and my body kinda ached because yesterday I did 2 sessions of lifting. Totally worth it. I waited and waited to find the right time for to exercise, but I couldn't find. Somehow... So you know what? It was 5 or something and I waited for a while since usually sis is usually wanting to exercise too at this time. Apparently, she got her first day of PMS, so I went ahead conforming myself. It was satisfying yet hard. I will do harder though!! Tomorrow is going to be the first last day of month in this precious 2014!! WHAT WHAT WHAT.... yep time felt fast. That "what what what" saying is from the song of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, called "Thrift Shop" you shall indeed try to watch it if ye haven't:

Pretty funny song, I presume. So, I wanna tell you something. What do I do usually this time of the year the previous years? Let's recall a lil bit--:







Those were fireworks... during the celebration of Lunar New Year in Vietnam. Haha, It is night indeed, folks. Chao. :) -ridhaflo

Page 29 of 365 : Hardcore day!!

Today I woke up a lil bit late today. Precisely at 8.40. I ate oatmeal mixed with  honey since it was tastless lol. Then  kinda slept cuz I did have lack of sleep the other night. Then I started to exercise as much as  I could. I drove. Got back home. Ate dinner and drank my drink. And did some additional moves. Now I feel used up yet great. I cannot wait what tomorrow brings to me!! Bring it on 2014!! -ridhaflo

Page 28 of 365 : The pay off day + the situation of my country

It is very usual that  I wake up at 8oclock. Ate breakfast. Casual stuff. Watched tv. I recall on doing exercise at morning. So I drove as well and picked my sis home. Then I watched TV mostly about my country's current state. It is such in a peril situation, politically speaking. We have lost so many leaders that are aspiring and not just party-oriented like these days. Some ridiculous mistakes done by the Court of Constitution. Oh god. Seems restless. I need to take rest myself. Get some sleep. May this country be better on the hands of our generation later on. Amen! -ridhaflo

Page 27 of 365 : Grammys + lazy (kinda) day!!

So I woke up at 8 as always. The only difference is that this time I have things to wait. Yep, 56th Grammy Awards!!! LIVE!!  I watched it really stunned and it was overall a worthwhile watch. It took about 3 hours and it was nearly lunch. I told myself why not just have lunch first so I did. I felt full and my head kinda did felt dizzy. After that I decided to sleep till like 4PM. I know. Mistake and mistake all over again. Then it was nearly dinner so I said to myself why not have it. I got full. Just when I was to exercise. My sis wanted to. So I waited and I managed to run at 9ish. It was too late so I stopped at 10. I know. So much to catch up tomorrow. I will and I am going to!!! Oh and the weather today was beautiful hust like yesterday! Sunny :) but tonight just kinda rained but I hope it does not affect much towards those having flood in their area.-ridhaflo

Page 26 of 365: MEH day

So it was a plain day. Just me waking up at 8 AM, eating breakfast. Then I ate and watched TV. I went to the orthodontist of mine and got the checkup. My 2 year contract on my braces got extended, I suppose for one more month. Then  I ate Gado-gado for lunch. Watched TV. Then saw that tomorrow is going to be the GRAMMY'S!! I can't freaking wait. I am sooo gonna watch it. in the morning. tomorrow. Anyway, I worked out pretty well today and had my sister complaining about her charger not working. I did some things to help her but no adequate results were shown there. So yeah. I watched some of our videos (me and sis) from way back there...and photos...time goes by really fast..... Here is a song for you to reminisce your own past :)  That is all! Thank you for watching-- I mean reading lol. I need to get some rest in order to watch the Grammy Awards tomorrow. Night! -ridhaflo

Page 25 of 365: A Messed Up Day buut.

Well I gotta type fast since it might be the 26th soon. So today I woke up earlier than usual I woke up a 5 am and then slept again then woke up again it was 6am since my sis was telling me to. Then I ate oatmeal as usual. I watched hell lot of TV goodness. Lazy day as it seems. Came down with my dad and fixed some things in my car got home. I wanted to workout but I was too lazy. I ate Lumpiah, Kue Sus and Spaghetti and there was an unwanted guess again and he stayed for hours. I postponed my workout session. Then at night my dad told me to wash the car then I did and just after that, I did my thang. Yep. You heard it. Since it's 11:59 PM, I shall post this! Bye. - ridhaflo

Page 24 of 365: TGIF TGIF TGIF but... not so much...

So yeah as casually, I woke up at 8-ish today. I had 2 session of working out due since the 'incident' yesterday... -__- Yep. I ate oatmeal as usual watched TV. Heard the news about the Ukrainian protests and about the guy getting beaten up by the authorities and stripped him and made him sing the national anthem while at that stage. Pretty horrifying. Anywho, at last the leakage at my house is solved!! I could use the bathroom on the second floor! I prayed at the mosque and went home. My sis came home earlier today so we went workin' out together! Yep. :D It was hella thing but it was worth it. I finished my numero uno session and rested till 6. I ate. then SUDDENLY there was thing really unpleasant guest coming in the house JUST about when I hopped on the treadmill. IT WAS SUPER ANNOYING. I had to wait till 9 PM till he had gone and screw it. I treadmilled. But wait it was at night. No worries. :P So yeah that's basically all for today the fact that it still rains let's commence on sharing the correlating video of the situation, shall we? -ridhaflo

Page 23 of 365 :Bad Day of 2014 (so far)

It all started plainly when I woke up at 8AM as usual. I was told to take shower as soon as it was 10 o'clock. So I did in advance. Yep. I would be getting my E-version of my citizenship card (e-KTP). However, there were dudes coming in the house to seek for the leakage that happened recently in my house. So it was kinda postponed. Yet we  managed to go there. It was raining lightly. Then out of nowhere, came that huge rain! Me and my dad who were using motorcycle had to find somewhere safe. It rained quite a while. Then, still raining, we went anyway to the office for the card thingy. We went there and looked around as if it were already break session. But the office boy said it was so thank God we went in. However. This is the most annoying part. This person who was in charge of the matter, did not even bother to help us. Whenever my dad asked, it was clear to speak from ourselves that she has the least interest of the matter of 2014. I wanted to smack her damn face. I just wanted to. I couldn't. I wanted the card. So then I came home with disappointed while hearing ANOTHER news that I would need to get my opung who just came back from Palembang, South Sumatra with car. Oh dear. So I did. Then after picking her up with apparently her younger sister, I had to pick up my sister. Then we went home. It was a fine scenery when we were given Pempek, a cuisine from the place she went and it was utmost delicious. But here comes the nightmare. I originally wanted to my food diet stocks since it was running out, so it was agreed that me, my parents, my opung and her sister would come, by dropping me off to the nearest grocery store (either Giant or Tip-Top). I was quite satisfied with the decided. And then, all of the sudden my dad changed the idea by telling me directly to drop off my opung's sister place in Cibubur. I had a bad feeling. I did. And yup. Things did happen according my judgmental statements and predictions. I had to pass through a god-knows-how-long traffic to come there. The songs were of old ones and since I was the only youth and a minority, I had to give up. So finally managed getting there at 7!! WOW. I did not believe it. I have done nothing gained nothing. I then give myself an applause for (possibly) skipping working out today! YAY! You had no idea how I really hold on my anger today. It hurted my insides. Physically and mentally. I know it is not healthy to do so, BUT i did not anywhere else to scream except in my mind. We managed to get out of way of the place when thank God my mom noticed grocery store nearby the place asked me to stop by!! I got everything there, except for FitBar (healthy snack) but I ain't even mad, bro. I was glad. So I dropped off my opung and directly go. However, I had to pass through one of the hardest challenges of life. I had to pass through Satay place there which I really really really like without asking to order. I did. Oh no. IT FELT BAD. I love satay. No exception. I got to hold this lust. So yeah I went home and drank some milk. So here I am. I hope you are entertained of this story, as I sure wasn't, for the one who had through all this today. Here's a vid for expressing meself :

Thanks for coming by! PEACE! :) -ridhaflo

Page 22 of 365: What a mixture of things!

In spite of sleeping late at night, I managed to always wake up at 8. I do not know why 8 but it just sorta happened lol. So I ate breakfast as usual. I watched some tv as well as read some remainings of Holmes book. Then I ate lunch and drove and always exercised. I finished by watching Mata Najwa with my family about Mrs. Megawati Soekarnopoetri about her experience being the first female president of my country. Very stunning yet motivating, she was. While so, I was also chatting my best pal, his name is Nicky. How we've become buddies would probably be pages of explanation. Cuz basically he is one of those friends whom you cherish their present when around. I am so glad that he has chatted me. But then again, I was also praying for the best of him since he is now entering his final exams soon so do pray for him guys. Alright Imma be off reading and explore more things in life. Catch you up soon! :) -ridhaflo

Page 21 of 365: A WOHOO day!

I do not know why but I feel so fresh today. I woke up at 8 to see that my parents are already downstairs so I ate oatmeal as usual. Then I ate one piece of Bingka Pancake at 10 and milk also. Made some protein shake and helped around the kitchen. I ate some homemade delicious chicken nuggets! As this goes on and on I also have a peculiar turn on being a bookaholic. YES! I just do not know why but it feels like books express much more thoughts and imagination of our own thus giving us the chances to actually think and feel the way we want it to be. Anywho, I drove at 1 and it was raining as always. Then picked up my sis. I went home. Ate spaghetti of a bowl. dammn. Felt sleepy so I slept. Then I worked hard on trimming that sinful bowl of delicious goodness to the floor. And voila! Here I am typing this. Hope this turns around the world a little bit. Cheers. -ridhaflo

Page 20 of 365: The Forgotten Day!

Yup. I'm sorry. I could have posted this yesterday but I forgot to. I passed out and I was nowhere near my computer. So I woke up at 8 as always. Ate breakfast, last package of oatmeal. Then suddenly at lunch my family made homemade salad which is good BUT they made spaghetti as well which was the downside. And you know what? We had to finish cuz they would feel bad if we don't. But I did not order it. Gee. So I drove that day for about an hour then went home. Cuz I was pressurized, I ate a bowl of spaghetti in the end. I did some exercises which made me exhausted yet fresh and continued to read more books. I was disappointed by the fact that those who are trying to be representative/ parliament of  my country do not represent us, but rather representing themselves. The debate was simply nil. No substantial thing only opinion gathered involving shouting and such. So again today I will try to post today's at night. See ya! :) -ridhaflo

Page 19 of 365: Rainy but not as much! (NOSTALGIA of songs)

We can say that things are getting a lil better. In streets flood is starting to sink down but still rainy. I have gotten better in terms of physically so I can do more today. I woke up at 8 and I watched some TV. My phone died so I charged it and waited till 10 and plug it off. I returned to watch some news about Syria's soon peace talks, Turkey's internet policy and Egypt's new approval of the constitution and so on. I ate mashed potato for lunch and finished another hundred page of Holmes book. I then proceed on downloading themes on my phone. We'll see if it bothers the battery life much or not. And tonight I had that feeling of turning back to songs...old songs... you know those which you have barely listened to and now all of sudden tryina listen to it. It felt great. I dug up till 2009 and found it amazing to come back in that era. Gee. Time surely passes away quickly, eh? -ridhaflo

Page 18 of 365: A Rainy Rainy Day!!

Maybe you have heard it from the news. It is a disastrous start of the year for my country. A major flood in Celebes (Manado), eruption of soon-to-exploding Sinabung in Sumatra and also flood issues and never-ending rain in Java. Last hope for the best for us all *sigh* anyway let's get to business, shall we? I woke up today about 8-ish. Realized my phone was dead so I charged. I went down to have myself some breakfast. I  was offered fried rice with egg on it. Then it was 10 and I plugged off my phone from the charge. Till 12, I waited and suddenly became sleepy so I slept. At about 1 or 2 I ate lunch, which was a mash potato with some mushroom flavour sauce. It was utmost great. I enjoyed it. At about 4 I started to exercise. I did my best but my body seems to be still on its Borneo-stage trip holiday so I had to patient I guess. All I can say is that from when I'm writing right now that it still is raining!! Can you imagine that? I have been seriously impacted by the novel I am reading, Sherlock Holmes which I bought in the airport and trying to finish during this break. I am no sleepy yet so I guess I am just going to find some things on the interweb. See y'all later. :) -ridhaflo

Page 11-17 of 365 : SUPREME COMBO!

Yes. there has been sooo many things happening. I wanted to update about my experience in Borneo but hell, my app on my phone was broken it could not solely post just about anything. So, I decided to sump this things up in a nutshell. So I went to Singkawang, this beach city in Borneo, West side. We visited Simpit Island, which is the smallest island recognised by the UN. We went to the beach, played football beach and it was utmost awesome! Then we went to the family house and had to return back to Batavia. Yep. then I died out. of energy. Next day, I did not work out. On the 16th, I tried but I became sick. It was not until today I retried on exercising now I feel much better. Things will be okay. Things will get normal. Now I'm off myself to telling to read "100 pages a day" kind of daily achievement on a novel and now I'm kind of postponing my movie-watching until I'm physically better. So catch you up tomorrow, I guess. Buhbye! -ridhaflo

Page 10 of 365 : A tour to the city of Equator!

Damn straight, foo. I'm here to be enjoyin' ma life here. Or so to speak. LOL it was a very loooong day. I started by waking up at 8, showered with hot water.. felt nice XD then went to the breakfast buffet the hotel had given us. After so, We went to my dad's brother's house. The weather was rather dark so we stayed. I was playing with the cats there, one was names Wingky and the other was Minul. I got to pick up my cousin here in the city so then we came back home. It rained. Freaking heavily! I did not know what to do but to stay just enjoying dem good snacks :d Anywho, we went praying at this mosque which was later known to be the oldest mosque in the city, built right in the Kapuas River of Borneo. It was a very antique yet sacred place there! We took some photos there after praying and then Mom insisted to go to another house of our families. So we did. When we arrived, we were given food. It was technically lunch time. There, I saw a parrot and also hamsters raised as pets. We stayed the longest here. I felt so tired I slept. I ended up being woken up to go to our next destination. That is.... the Equator Monument! It was the very point where we stand which corresponds with the Equator Line , those which you see in maps! Amazing. We took photos there and we went to my Mangua's house. It was my dad's oldest sibling. We stayed there for dinner, took pictures and went back to Big Family House. You know, the one I told you about in the previous page. We talked and talked mostly about Anas Urbaningrum's handcuff incident by KPK. So there it was, we dropped off my uncle to his house and his family then we went to the hotel. I suppose now all I can do is sleep and wake up fresh for tomorrow's next thrilling journey! �� keep in touch with me, will ya? ;) -ridhaflo

Borneo Edition - Part 1

Hello everybodaaeeh. How's it going? It's Ridhaflo here. Wud like to report to y'all that I have made it safely here in Pontianak, West Borneo. I had to wake up at 5AM and we ended up arriving at 7 in the airport lol. And our flight was to be at 11. I bought Sherlock Holmes book!! I ought to read as it costed 8 bucks so yeah in Periplus. We ended up having a "traffic jam" before take off -__-airplane traffic jams. Anyway we arrived at 12.30 due to the delay. I met my bigger cousin, his name is Ryan. Can't believe how he changed. Can't believe how this city has changed, after only visiting in 2008! It's an amazing feeling. So I went to the big family house. We talked for hours and had to check in and get back to the hotel. Then, it was amazing. The hotel is over the top! It had a swimming pool! So yeah I jumped in with my sister and guess what..cold. flu. Dang. So later on, we came back to the big family house and talk four hours more. I ate dried banana snack and boiled noodle. It was just AH-MAYY-ZEENG. Super yummy. So I got to help witb hwks with my lik cousins. We talked about uni life among us and give tips about going to uni to those about to be entering it this year.Now I'm back in my hotel. Imma sleepm Adios. Stay tuned for day 2!! ;) -ridhaflo

Yes. It has been a loooooooooooooong day indeed. It's almost 12 so I gotta hurry up as I need to rest too lol. So here I come. I woke up decently at 6.30 AM, which was quite a miracle since I don't usually get to that. I roughly wake up at 9 or 10 AM during these holidays. Yeah I know. I'm as lazy as that and as grumpy as that during holidays. I couldn't stop my habit on sleeping late. I always end up sleeping at least at 12. So, I ate toasted bread, I forgot I was supposed to eat OatMeal instead lol. Then, I showered at like 8-ish. I did all that just because I wanted to meet my friend for the very last time. Guess what? It rained. Heavily. Freakin tornado type of rain. It was like 9 AM, the meeting time. But hell, how am I supposed to go through that rain?? So I waited. It was 10 or so I grab a Bajaj  (is it even sensible in this English grammar? lol who cares) and got to my mate's house. From there we waited for another hour, since one of our friends just woke up -___- I know it's irritating. However, we got a hold of it and we managed to go. We ended up in Grand Indonesia, where we tried to pick up............tickets. Not girls. lol But like yeah we finally decided to watch The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Meanwhile, it was going to be aired like 2 PM. So we ended up going to this Time zone/arcade games. We did various activities, like car racing, those ticket raising machines, and also the doll machine ! This one is the funny. One of my friends in the end did get 12 of those dolls XD. It was insane. He was so addicted to it and we could not believe that he got that much of a skill.

This one was stuck instead, believe it or not. Stuck right when it was supposed to just go down to the hole! #Badluckbryan

So after all those "workarounds" we ate at the food court. I ordered Round Steak and water. Pretty cheaped out, don't blame me. College life. It tasted okay I guess. Then we watched the movie and OH MAH GERD. It was literally the funniest movie of 2014 so far!!! You ought to watch it, especially if you are into comedy stuff! The movie claimed that it was only 2 hours, which it was true since we were there from 2PM till 4PM. but it felt like hours, mate. It's not because it's boring or anything, but rather fascinating and hilarious! You just need to get your time for it. Recommended. By all means, go to the cinema and watch it. So then, one of my International Relations colleagues just met us outside of the cinema, because he was the elementary friend of my friend's who's going to Germany. His name is Adam. Bob is the name of my IR colleague. So things got pretty f*cked up as we trolled around in Dairy Queen sharing cool, funny and even lame stuff to each other. Well it was time to go, so we said a very goodbye to Adam who's going to Deutschland. He will be missed fo' sure. So then, me, Bob and that crazy guy who got 12 dolls (Alif) we found a cab relatively fast as we just got right straight when we got out of the shopping center. Guess what? Crazy talks again. We got into the traffic but we did not even feel stressed out as we could not care less about it. There was a major traffic jam in Pemuda, it's a shame that it happened as it was only few meters from our houses. So yeah I made it back by grabbing a Bajaj (I know it sounded bad but oh well) and got some rest. I took an unnecessary nap and I was woken up by my family to pack things up. OH YEAH. Tomorrow I will be going to Borneo. But I was on my zombie mode so I just slept for a while and then packed up. I did jog for a while and now here I am writing this. I will try my best post things while I'm in Borneo. I hope at least it's got good signals for my phone. So Imma rest my head now. Oh yes, good bye my fellow Chancellor, Adam Abdullah. It's good to know you and your presence will surely be missed by all of us! Let's sleep now I'm dead tired. Nightey night ;) -ridhaflo

Page 7 of 365 : The first laziest day of 2014!

Yup. Sums it up. After sleeping for hours and hours. I did not feel good. I do not know why. You know, it's only those days that you just want to sleep.. I can't just keep doing anything. I needed rest. So I gave it today. I would not be able to do anything. So today flashed really quickly. I did some exercise and quite a lot. But there's nothing much to tell except I'm going to be going somewhere tomorrow. That's right, before my visit to Borneo! Wanna know? Stay tuned ;) - ridhaflo

Page 6 of 365: Movie Marathon!!

Yeah. It was technically yesterday night. But as people go and say, that tomorrow correlates with today and today correlates to yesterday. It is sort of like a cycle. I hope it isn't a vicious cycle though lol. Anywho, yesterday I got a chance to watch two movies, which were The Shawshank Redemption and Dead Poet Society. Both inspiring in their own ways. I was asleep but couldn't let myself pause it with my sleep. So I ended up sleep at about 2 AM last night. I woke up at 11 o'clock. CARPE DIEM! lol I couldn't tell apart between breakfast, lunch, and brunch again. It is the second time of this year. I ate A LOT. bunch lot of dem food. Healthy ones, though. But still, not to be tried at home, kids. Cuz whatever you do, don't overdo it. Whatever you eat, don't overeat it. No matter what, junkfood or even healthy-ass food. Still. DON'T. Then as I was trying to get on my feet, because I was so bloated, I couldn't simply go away with it. I ended up watching TV. There, I watched the movie "We Bought A Zoo", which I believe was in Fox Family. Pretty good movie. Nothing happened today. My kittens started to become more active now lol and also had pretty struggled down my road to success. Because of the faulty diet.So now I'm plan to watch a movie. Wanna know what it is (more of they are, cuz I would not just stop watching just one movie)? Stay tuned to find out ;) -ridhaflo

Page 5 of 365 : OFF TO BORNEO (SOON)

I know you're as exciting as I am about this but don't get ahead of me. I'll tell in details about this all. Okay, here I go! I woke up roughly at 9-ish today as I had kind of a rough sleep last night. I could not find the right reason to open my mind and tell that I've got to get some proper sleep. So anyway, I ate Oatmeal of Energen, with some berries on it although WAY smaller than on the package. It's more like pieces of it. It comes with a few sachet wrapped in a bigger package. Anyway, today was kind of a lazy day for me. I ate and drank and all the repetition goes. It said 12 o'clock. Shoot, let's eat. I ate some Satay. Yep it felt great. Then did some rest and overslept. Suddenly when I woke up, my family was just about discussing something unusually done by us..talking about a trip. Yep. A trip to West Borneo! It's been years since I came there and it was decided that we would be going there on the 9th of this month! so like in 4 days! Can't wait! :) I will update some more info about it but meanwhile I just customized my Note 3 in order to reach some good batter improvement, as I will be going there and I would indeed in need a heck of some juicy battery energies goodness. So for tonight, Imma be pro'lly watchin' some movies. To inspire and to get inspired. Yep. That's all, folks. Go home and have a great dinner with your families. G'night. -ridhaflo

Page 4 of 365: Almost FORGOT!

Yep. the title says it all. I almost forgot about the blogging today. Sorry guys. I'll explain why in a minute but right now I'm catching my breath to make sure this post does go at the 4th of January (as it is 11:30 PM) lol It's been a long day for me indeed. Here it goes. I woke up at around 5 o'oclock as I remembered tapping the stop button and the changing my alarm clock to 7 AM lol. I'm as lazy as that. Then came another upcoming news from my family that we are going to visit my grandpa's cemetery place so we shall be going at 8 from here. I was crushed and I wasn't even awake yet for fully. So then I hurried down but in the end I found out that we would go from here at about 10? LOL? really? This was really pissing me off. But what can you do.. I followed up and we eventually got settled on leaving and going to an adventure (YEAH)! So we arrived there in Pondok Kelapa Public Cemetery in East Jakarta and we prayed for him basically.It was not my direct grandpa, but he is the youngest sibling of my direct grandpa. He passed away exactly a year ago so that's why we've come up to him in hope he can rest there peacefully. It was really thrilling the fact that time passed away really quickly. I mean, I felt like I was just about to go home from his last encounter with him, which was a year ago.. I remembered I was still in my hands still going everywhere with an exercise books of SBMPTN/SIMAK as I badly wanted to pass the Univ Tests and I wanted to make my parents proud. He, at his last breath, told me to be successful and work hard ahead. I will. I will.

So anyway, sorry for that drama, but I just could not pass through. He means a lot to me. Moving on, we headed to another cemetery of our family, we just waited. Then, we continued our journey to Pizza Hut Pondok Kelapa. Urgh. I ate 6 slices, 3 from American Favorite and 2 from Meat Lovers, all sides are filled with sausage and cheese. Oh yeah my drink was Mocha Flast and I drank 3/4 of my mom's Cappuccino too. And garlic breads. don't forget about garlic breads haha. Anyway, after that long family gathering, my dad decided to attend some of our monthly grocery and what a bright mind he had...he suggested Kota Kasablanka! Damn, that place is sure as hell nice. Been there, done that. But it was priceless today. I drank some Vanilla Milshakes which tasted like melted icecream (literally) at Paviljoen Kota. Not recommended. As in the vanilla milkshake lol. And then we did the thing. YEAH. shopping. groceries though. but yeah it was a "healthy" sort of approachment which I have been trying to convince myself to get in 2014 (yes yes, new year new me bullshit) but I'm tryina actually do my best for this, for once. So we did the right thing, we got back to the basement. We got home. When I tried to open baggage, suddenly the inner part of it fell off and if it weren't for my instinct, I would've gotten hit by it straight to my head. That thing is HUGE, I must say. So I'm glad that I picked that up. Anyway, I moved in the shopping stuff and all. Rested for a while. My family ordered Satay, my favorite meal. But I was thoroughly full due to the Pizza Massacre that I did earlier. So yeah I did not eat any. Not even one stick. So it was 7-ish and I started to burn off some of my extra energies. Yeah, pretty decent one. I read some blogs and BOOM it's 11 PM. I prayed and then realised that I need to go blogging. So there you have it! My deadline story about today. OOH it's 10 mins way. I better go. Bye! See you tomorrow (soon) lol-ridhaflo

Page 3 of 365 : An Epic War!!

Yeah. my title might seem a bit exaggerating about my current situation but oh well. :p So yeah let me get to this quickly. As my sister was watching Habibie and Ainun (this romantic movie from my country about our third president and his spouse) until god knows when I ended up sleeping. Yeah. I am not really a fan of a romantic movie, I'm more of sci-fi, war and just about every motivational movies. You know, those ones that really give you positive energies just by watching it. Anyway, due to that, I had to wake up quite earl...lately and the clock said about 9:30-ish. It was Friday. Yeah I know it might not be a big deal for you guys out there, but for me as a man and a Muslim, I had to get ready for my Friday prayers. Yeah some kind of war..inner shall I say within me. After looking at each room, no one was barely awake except my dad. So I just ate instant noodle and took a shower and BOOM. I am at the mosque with my dad. After that, I ate some of this local goodness, called Gado-Gado. Let me give you a visual assistance for it :

Urgh... just by looking at it makes me wanna eat another round again....oh god.....wait. Oh yeah. sorry guys. Moving on, after the magnificent dish that I have "conquered", I then watched some TV's with my family to cool off. After that I told myself countless times to get up and do some exercises. so I did. Treadmill. Situps. Dumbbels.Cardios. Yeah and the clock told me right in front of my ears that it's 5 PM. As I rushed down to the shower and ended up spendin' roughly 15 mins of heavenly showering goodness. After working out. Youknow that feeling. It's fascinating. Yet today there's nothing much to tell really except those above. Oh yeah. About the recent death of Uncle Phil (James Avery)... Rest in peace, dear pal. You did good. You did.

That is all really for today. Thanks for stopping by! See you in the next page/day! ;)-ridhaflo

Page 2 of 365: BPJN, price rise of LPG, and all

Okay here it goes. I made this second post of the day since there are a few things I would like to address here. First things first that I continued watching the local with my dad...while I spotted about BPJN. It is some sort of national social welfare programme done by the government here in my country and it was issued and ratified eventually, I believe in January 1st 2014. But then complains oveflew about the new policy.  It was then found out that the policy was actually just initiating and would be nearing its target by the end of 2019. Dude, by then I would probably be already graduating and what's all the use of fussing about it that it's going to be available on the first day of the year?? *sigh* Anyway moving on to the price rise of the LPG.  From Rp70000 to Rp130000.  What do you think it is, some kind of joke?  It's just the second day of the year and yet the nightmare are beginning to show. After some work out and some cooling off and eating lunch as well as oranges, then my lecturer just messaged me about our 80% grade for this semester. I won't go into this in details but you get the idea. I'm most probable of getting screwed up... This is not the best day indeed.  I was down for awhile but then my spirit just got back up again! :) how about you, have you been feeling like me? -ridhaflo

Page 2 of 365 : A Good Start...?

Well here I am waking up quite early. I tapped both my phone at 5 AM, which is a quite rare occurence there. I headed to pray at 5.30-ish and went lying on my bed to see notifications on my phone and read some 9GAG. Now the time says it's 6.30 and I thought I should make this post. Yeah. This post is intended to look about my targets this year in 2014 about all that good ol' stuff I couldn't bring in 2013. I hope that today I will be starting it and as much as possible would not be able to be turned down from any possible threats out there. I could not believe the fact that I am turning 18 this year. Life felt so fast as I looked down on this post on 9GAG. Here, check this out yourself:

Courtesy of 9GAG

Terrifying, ain't it? The fact that all that stuff is happening to us. Especially that very last one. Urgh. I can't seem to take it any longer. 

Oh yeah, by the way I have just almost forgotten to inform you about my uni life. I HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED IN UNIVERSITAS INDONESIA. Yep, you heard me right. One of the best universities here in my country. AND that's not ALL! I got in the International Relations Majoring!!  Remember my post back in April? I just could not believe that I got in. I mean sure I was confident and all writing it. But the truth I was desperate and the fact that so MANY of the high school students wanted to continue in the majoring and yet the seats are only for 38 people is outrageous! But thank God Almighty I got in. I could not be more blessed than that. So how about you guys? Anything to share? -ridhaflo
