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

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.

Page 8 of 365 : Farewell to my fellow Chancellor!

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:

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
