Hi,

Have you ever heard “Mens sana in corpore sano”?

Yea, it’a a famous latin quotation. It means a healthy mind in a healthy body.

Based on the quotation, every Wednesday evening, around at 04.30 pm, my friend (Mbak Ratna) and I always do jogging. Even though it’s only once a week, it means a lot for me since every single day I always sit and sit and sit at 8 am to 4pm. I think it’s a good idea to our body.

Every Wednesday, we plan to do in different places. Other hand, we look for places that have many foodstalls :/

First, I still remember, we went around Prawirotaman, the bule kampung. If you ever go to Prawirotaman, you will find many cafes along the street, both western and eastern food. You will also find Monggo Cafe, a place that produces Monggo Chocolate. Chocolate that is originally made in Jogja.

Second, we went around Alkid. Ahahhaha, Mbak Ratna is a person who loves dogs. At home, she has two dogs named Jacko and Jacky (not to sure how to write their names). In Alkid, we met a guy who played with his dog. Mbak Ratna was interested in, and I also loved getting picture with the dog.

And, when we continued walking, we found this, hahhahaa...lol. if you’re update in news, you will absolutely know what case it is.

Third, we went to Mandala Krida Stadium. There’re many people who did sporting like running, gym, volly, roller skates, motor racing, etc. The place was very interesting. 

Then, on the next week, we went around Sagan. Sagan is a place where Mbak Ratna lives. We walked from one alley to another, bought Siomay, and finally stopped in Roemi Ice Cream. Big lol, we spent much time at the place. I think, it was longer than we did walking ahahhahhahaa....

So, for you who are interested in, please join :p

We could make an appointment first to decide the place where we’ll go before Wednesday evening. Keep being healthy everybody. Keep “Mens sana in corpore sano”

:) :) :)

 

Exhibition

Last year, On October 17-21, 2012, a company where I work joined an exhibition in Jakarta. It was called Trade Expo Indonesia, located in Kemayoran Jakarta. I was happy cause my boss asked me to join too. 

That was my second chance to be an exhibitor. First, when I worked in UBS Surabaya. The company joined the biggest jewellery exhibition, located in Empire Palace Convention & Exhibition Hall Surabaya on 30 oktober – 2 November 2010. I met Putri Indonesia Karenina Sunny Halim. She was the ambassador of UBS. I was pleased 

In Trade Expo Indonesia, I met the president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and the new mayor of Jakarta Joko Widodo. They visited our bamboo house and looked around. It was my first time to meet SBY directly. Even though I didn’t take pictures with him, I was happy especially when he walked in front of me. Wow, I never guess before, that in my life, I can see the president in less than a meter.

About Joko Widodo, I have ever met him several times before, since he was the mayor of Solo. I think, I met him firstly in Slamet Riyadi street on Sunday Morning Car Free Day. Then, when I saw Solo Batik Carnival, he was so handsome riding a horse. Thirdly, when I saw Matah Ati show in Mangkunegaran Solo. Actually, there was a VVIP seat for him, but he liked sitting on a wooven floor like other Solonist who had free tickets. And lucky me, he sit right in front of me. Wow wow wow, everybody screamed and screamed. Some offered him to have peanut etc. Some were busy to take pictures with him. 

Beside them, I also met the minister Mr. Gita Wirjawan.

It was more amazing when some newspapers both Indonesian and Foreign made the bamboo house to be their headline news like below :

Last, as ussual, I want to post some narsis pictures here hahhaha.

And hope that someday, the company where I work asks me (again) to join exhibitions in German, Spain, Bali, Jakarta (again), and so on....Aamiin.....

*plaaakkk, bangun Lus, mimpi aje lu* hahhahahhhahhaa....^^

And, don't forget to visit Dekor Asia online stores at www.dekorasia.com and www.blackbamboo.co.id to get this below bambu house wkwkkwkw...

Beach - ing

Beach. What do you think about it? Nice? Blue? Waves? Salt? Hot? Swim suit? Sun block? Yea, all of them are absolutely right.

For me, beach is a place where we could find 50 shades or more of blue. The blue sea and sky. They both are completing each other.

The first beach I visited is Telung Ria beach in Pacitan. It’s when I was in Elementary school still. The second one is Parang Tritis beach. It’s when I was in Junior high school. After that, I went to Kuta and Tanah Lot in Bali when I was in vocational high school. I went to those beaches with friends and teachers.

Besides them, I’ve ever visited Depok beach, Kuwaru, Glagah Indah, Indrayanti, Sundak, Jungwok, Ngrenehan, Wedi Ombo, Parang Tritis (again), Parang Kusumo (lol), Pok Tunggal. Someday, if there’re occasions, maybe will go to foreign beaches like Phuket etc. But Indonesian beaches are amazing too.

Hehe okayh, I don’t want to write and explain a lot about kind of beaches in this world. I think many blogs do, and googles always has answers . 

I just want to post several pictures in beaches i’ve ever visited with friends. Yea, a lil bit narsis hahhahaha...

Here are..........

Sundak Beach

Jungwok Beach

Depok Beach

Parang Tritis Beach

Absurd

Hallo April? Hallo April Mop? Masi adakah April Mop?

Time run fast. Yes, as usual.

Kemaren, aku nulis “The Buddies” dengan suka cita. About how wonderful to have those buddies. Their kindness, their kindness, their kindness.

Kali ini, aku pengen nulis The Buddies lagi tapi yang lebih absurd. Masi dengan suka cita, mari dimulai. Sebelumnya mari kita panjatkan doa terlebih dahulu menurut agama dan keyakinan kita masing-masing *dikira mo mulai pelajaran sekolah :/*

Biar lebih fair, mari keabsurdan ini dimulai dari diri saya sendiri dulu. Eheemmm,,,,

Aku si, mmmm, aku si, aku si nggak ada jeleknya *digampar*..hahahhha, aku si ya gini ini. Kata Mbak Ratna “ Hanya kamu satu-satunya kawanku yang suka meninggalkan sare”. Kalian tau artinya kan? Kalo nggak tau, tanya aja Mbak Ratna!

Hehhehe, iye...aku pelor abis. Ketemu senderan apa gitu langsung merem. Di bis saat mudik/balik merem. Di kasur saat bbm an, sering ketiduran banget. Saat tiduran didepan tipi, lalu gantian tipi yang nonton aku. Kalo dikantor si untungnya enggak, karena yang gampang tidur adl bosku :p hahhahhaa. Duduk didepan laptop gitu bisa lho tidur :D

Selain pelor, aku itu orangnya “well preparation”, tp semakin kesini baru nyadar kalo so well preparation very much :/. Misalnya nih ya, mau mudik Sabtu sore, hari kamis udah packing. Mau piknik hari minggu, hari rebo udah persiapan. Mau pergi bulan November, bulan Maret udah ribet hahhahahha,,,yeah, that’s me :p>

Soal makanan, aku paling sukak yang empuk dan manis. Ehhhem, mungkin karena aku manis kali ya *digampar lagi*. Jadi kalo ada biscuit yang renyah itu,aku sengaja buka bungkusnya, dan taruh deket kipas angin biar mlempem dan empuk :/. Kalo makan makanan berkuah dan harus pake kerupuk, kerupuknya aku cemplungin biar lembek :/. Iya, iyaaaa, aku tau itu absuuurrrdddd, hahhahahhaa. Btw, ngomongin soal kerupuk, Mbak Ratna dan Mimimumu itu ratu kerupuk. Sekali makan bisa ampe delapan biji an :/. Busyeett, sekali sekali, pengen deh aku overdosis kerupuk kek mereka, tp nggak bisa...mmmm, dua cukup.

Hal absurd lain adalah, mmm, aku itu sebenernya “penyusup cantik”. Tau kan? Enggak? Amacaciiiiii... *mendadak jadi alay dahsyat* -- jadi gini, kalo ada temennya siapa gitu yang nikah, mereka sukak maksa maksa aku untuk ikut kondangan. Yakin. Nggak percaya? Hehhhee, iya ding, kadang diajak, kadang aku yang nyusup. Terakhir pergi ke kondangan temennya Mbak Ratna, namanya Safira dan Jeffry. Nikahnya digedung Graha Sabha Permana UGM. Abis salaman kita kalem si, tapi membabibuta hahhahahhaaa....entah siapapun itu, kak Safira dan Kak Jeffri, thanks deh. You both made my dinner wow wekawekawekaaa...lollllll

Udah ah tentang aku, nanti bikin ilfil kalo kemana mana -______-

Sekarang mimimumu. Si artis serba bisa ini, eh sorry, ralat, si mimi serba bisa ini dia bisa apa saja. Misalnya nih ya, dari make in kutek dijari, nyuci, nyapu, ngepel, makan, tidur, benerin tipi, benerin antena, makan, minum, tidur, makan, minum, tidur, makan, minum lagi, tidur lagi hehehhehe....

Satu hal yang di nggak bisa, buka botol minuman (aslinya si bisa kali ya, tp aku tulis aja nggak bisa, biar dia ada hal yang nggak bisa jugak. Paham kan?), trus sama ngambang dilaut. Laut sedalam apapun kalo dia yang ngambang akan jadi dangkal hahhahahhahaa *digampar keras* *kabuuuurr* wkwkwkkwkwkkk...

tuh, lautnya jadi dangkalkan? hahhahahha

Asli, dia serba bisa deh. Dia pokoknya emaknya kita kita hhahhaa..dia istri-able lho (mention ke siapa ini enaknya?)

Kalo kalian kagak percaya, ini dia saat benerin antena. Cekidot.

Mbak Ratna. Si pakar EYD ini absurdnya banget banget. Setiap pembicaraan SELALU menggunakan EYD. Kadang pake bahasa jawa tapi “dhahar, ngunjuk, siram, dll”. Memang kita ratu? Hahhahahha,,,tapi lama lama keikut dan kebiasa jugak dengan kata2 dhahar dll :/.

 

Pakar EYD

Kalo kalian penasaran dengan EYD dia seperti apa, perhatikan percakapan berikut :

Lus Aknes : km nek turu jam piro toh Mbak Ratna?

Mbak Ratna : tergantung tingkat kecapekan dan mendengarkan siapa yang mau curhat silakan, jika tidak ada ya tidur. Serta kalau sudah capek menulis status wisata 

Tuh kan, percaya kan? -----________------

Recently, aku dan Mbak Ratna punya kegiatan absurd, yaitu jogging. Kegiatan berkedok jogging setiap Rabu sore itu sebenernya adalah makan bersama yang tertunda hahahhahhahaa.... sebelum mulai jogging beli makanan. Sambil jogging sambil makan. Abis jogging lanjut makan besar. Ampyuunn!!!!! But it’s nice. For me, at least can take pictures everywhere hahahhahaa.

Untuk absurd-absurd yang lain, akan muncul di tulisan berikutnya. Untuk Mbak Astro, mmmm, nggak ada yang absudr dari dia so far, yaaahhh,,nggak bisa di ceng cengin deh hahhahahhahhahaa....

Happy having April. Keep creating something new. Keep being happy with family, friends, life, and all.

The last one, aku pengen kutip tulisan dari salah satu penulis favoritku @hurufkecil:

"Sahabat adalah puisi yang bisa saya ajak berbincang. Kopi adalah puisi yang bisa saya minum. Seringkali hanya dengan sahabat dan kopi, hari saya sudah terasa cukup. Kopi dan sahabat mampu  membuat saya kehilangan alasan untuk mengutuk hari yang paling melelahkan sekalipun. Saya beruntung punya kehidupan yang dikelilingi sahabat-- saya sering menyebut mereka sahebat".
