Guy criteria

I went to Bandung with my grandfather today, embracing the paddy fields of his in Ujungberung, where he's building the grave of my late grandma... The trip was fun, ended up having lunch at Toko YOU (it is most familiar to Bandung locals I guess, since it's been established since more than 60 years ago).

We had nice and lengthy chit chats on the way home as our stomaches were full and I've decided not to sleep again as I've slept all the way to Ujungberung.

There then, came the topic of guy criteria, and to my amusement he listed down the best guy criteria for me (based on his own experience being the solver to the troublemaker Tessa, ha ha). Here's like, the list.

1. continuous care (well yes to his definition to care means to pay a continuous attention..)
2. have a great taste (HAHA. Yeah. Right!)
3. a gentleman (well-mannered!)
4. well-informed (ok. smart/ "nyambung" guys turn me on.)

Then he added : "money. Potential to get money."
"What do you mean by potential?"
"Well later in life a lot of money for a start is not that important. But to earn good money he should be well educated, manage himself to work..... and 'Is he a dreamer' (just dreaming and yet doing nothing).."

Well grandfather. That's one hell to find the right partner for a lifetime... no?

in love ;)

Okay, maybe this is the day that I have to write a song about love
It's about time

L.O. L.O. L.O.V.E. Love

I said I'd never write a song about love
But when it feels this good a song fits like a glove
When you hold me and you tell me
That you missed me and call me milky
Fuck it I'mma write a song about love

You're my key - you unlock me
Keep me close, keep me safe, keep me happy
So sweet - oh love
It's destiny - so nothing stops me
I'll tell the world that you're mine and you got me
So sweet - oh love
I'm in love (x3)
L.O.V.E - love

See love doesn't choose a boy or a girl, nope
When I met you, you hugged my heart and filled my world
So you can stare - I don't care
You're the one ain't going nowhere
So fuck it I'mma be honest with you

You're my key - you unlock me
Keep me close, keep me safe, keep me happy

So sweet - oh love
It's destiny - so nothing stops me
I'll tell the world that you're mine and you got me
So sweet - oh love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love

My best friend that makes me laugh,
The puzzle pieces fits exact to my half
I've never felt this way - sometimes I'm stuck with what to say
You hold my hand when I'm driving
You dry my tears if I'm crying
And we just laugh if were fighting
I love you, you love me more, I love you more more, you love me more - I love you more
I love you more

It's destiny - so nothing stops me
I'll tell the world that your mine, and you got me
So sweet - oh love

I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love
I'm in love


No I ain't dreaming, but I've got the nicest gift ever since last year: a sweet and genuine boyfriend. This post is dedicated for you.
I'm in love, love, love, love with you A.

2012

HAPPY (late) NEW YEAR 2012!

It's been 4 months since I last posted, and so much happiness has glowed in between :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

Social House, 31Dec-01Jan! There went my lil sis unpictured.

So the much happy new life in 2012 consists of maintaining my weight balanced! LOL. I ate so much in weekends, thanks to my friends and family. Mom and sis continuous crave for sushi had kept me stuffed every Sunday after church these days, meanwhile grandfather is so apt to taking new culinary experiences on recent good food. Just tried Sopra and Paradise Dynasty on the other day... both have exquisite offers on its specialty menu! (later advice on both, Sopra: try the pizza and veal chop... Idk, the chop is deep fried to perfection. Paradise Dynasty: of course try the xiao long bao, and la mian! :3)

The university life is much less enjoyable than it had previously seemed, though life is fair and God is good. I love these days nevertheless!

Cheers to all my best friends, yet still this sweet gentleman is my abundant source of happiness at the moment... Yeaay ;)

Love you A! :)
*ok, I know the picture effect is beyond understandable cheesiness*

Previously, I had been smitten much to my personal tumblr to the point I've never written anything not so personal here at all. Catch some more later, gotta study hard for the current finals :* I really miss blog writing!

a collage of quote for my babyboo

iloveyou :* (click it!)
i am sorry kalo gak rapih :(

heroine loves hero

wishing that one day, my lover will tell me that...i'm his greatest lover! :) afterall, the zodiacfacts had said it. HAHA. and anyway, its great to know you're someone's greatest lover since... i know how great it feels! i had back then called a guy as my best boyfriend, and he's definitely given me the best feeling in the world: to be fully and completely loved!
okay, stop the public-sharing

Anyway, my life's been good! (yeah, for real! like, finally, duh. i can stop whining on my blog. but school stuffs' still pressuring on my head) and truth is, i'm gonna thank everyone who had been with me through the rough days i'd been having last month, indeed.

Like the first i wanna thank my family =) my dad's like my only precious best friend!! he gave one of the best comfort i've ever shared with A FRIEND. he'd waken up in nights when i was really down and hugging me till the next morning...haha. it was really useful since i hardly cud fall asleep back then. he's also the best comforter and hope-giver AND the one who gave me the most discouragement NOT to move on in the best way (and i thought that's good, because if people do it in an obvious way, i wudnt even have given it a second thought). thanks pak :D. love you. also i thank my mom for scolding me for crying on things that's not worth crying for (because they didn't even give a damn back then...well), and of course, my sister! who'd been patiently there to wake up on nights when i wasn't even sober enough to think clearly.

Now, my best best friends :) believe me or not, i have some bunches of the best people you could ask for in life. i can't put anyone on the second place, so there go everyone who's been there all day on my first day of being brokenhearted! ha! thank you maura for being so patient through my ups and downs, novita for insisting me to accept all the heart-breaking reality (and even scolding me for that fact, HA!), cla for the SEMANGGAT! yeah you go baby, i was very much alive because of you. i thanked aileen for the best old sayings 'kalo jodoh gak kemana' and for the patience and the time u've spent accompanying me, thanksss ijie for the insider info ;) and the "conspiracy", and life-experiences u've shared.

for the following days after, i thank everyone who's been there for me like, EVERYDAY. you can't guess maybe how would my rantings affect their ears and days, but believe me, they're really understanding. here goes my gratitude for stephanie e., nike, and emily! there goes one word for you: muach. and another 3 words: i love you!!. thank you jessica w. for the prince charming-compliment, hopefully, one day, i would end up with my own prince charming yes =]. thank you randi for covering my sadness between lessons and cheering me up with some most-amusing-jokes in life :p. yeah, we both freaks, bwek! thanks sasa for sharing the guys-trouble, you gave me an example of great patience in enduring things, HA! thank you to cynthia for the laughter to ease the loneliness and "every little thing, is gonna be alright", bob marley rocks yaa, :D. thank you jordy, gilbert, and adrianus a., for the boyish advices, for the great time and being such great companions and listeners, also for the time and wise responds :)

okay, save the best for the last! no, maybe it's unfair to say the best, but then, they (though so did everyone else) had (and have perhaps, though no loneliness' included now) the real supporters when everything was empty and i got so lonely: thank you mr alden martin pasaribu and ms stella theresa winarto! haha big hugss for you both. can't you imagine a cooler friend than one that's there when you call for a shoulder to cry on, and has to take care of his own ride to home afterwards (HA-HA), or perhaps for a pair of ears to be an attentive listener? :)

welllll.. thank you so much for all the favors, hopefully i also can be a best friend to you all. i love you all like soooooooo much :3 hehe

my love for you, technically

I wish I still can intertwine my fingers with you
Cause yours seemed so warm, fit so perfectly to mine
Though long gone the days of beautifully awake memories
Still can smile about it; still can't get it out of my mind

Shaping to a man
Tough as it may sound, rough as it may be
Can't always be there if you ask me
I want to be a part of it but not that way

Still wishing that I can be the girl of your life; whom you seek comfort to; whom you sing to the night
Though so far it seemed cause now the competition is on; comfort is put on the least

My heart breaks into flakes
I don't know who's in myself anymore
Questions keep popping; head's screaming
What am I doing? What should I be doing?
While I'm still so afraid to hurt you.

I want to hate the world yet it is bigger than me
I want to vanish in a blink of eye and stay right In your heart; peeking into the walls of your love

Cause your care is my comfort
Your breathing is the sound of my favorite lullaby
Your grip on my hand is the barrier from the shadow
Your kiss on my forehead spins my head right round to the top
Your perfect; satisfied; and boyish smile is one that I'm after forever
Your nervousness; anxiety makes me feel that I'm a woman and I'm needed
Your gentleness is something to boast to be proud of.

How I wish I could have you all mine, like how you have wished and struggled to have me all yours. As strong as your happiness when I called you my best boyfriend in the world.

But I don't wanna make you torn.. Forget all of these. I step back. Not every story has an happy ending


Or for us... Maybe not yet? ;) I'm trying to find a way, help me!!

awww I love you

I'm posting this at 5 in the morning cos I just couldn't help to resist :)
My panda <3 sent me this last night and I can't help but touuuched and really touched.

Thanks hon. That's the sweetest msg I've ever received

I've made you cry a thousand times.
Litres of tears fell from your eyes.
But I'd wipe your tears a million times.
And never want to say goodbyes.

I've done a lot of mistakes.
I'll make it up whatever it takes.
I don't want any heart breaks.
I won't let your heart turns to flakes.

For time that we've been through.
I know I love you and it's true.
And whenever you're feeling blue.
I always want to be with you.

We're more than just a work of art.
Small things won't tear us apart.
Nothing will tear us apart.
We'll take everything in good part.

But time always be a bad supporter.
So let's fill our time with laughter.
Fill it with colors as if we're the painter.
Write beautiful poems as if it's a letter.

You're the music for my ears.
You pull me out from my fears.
And when the end is near.
I hope our love still stands here.

They said that nobody is perfect.
So you are the 'nobody' that they have mentioned, for me.

Yesterday's history, tomorrow's mistery, and today's gift, that's why we call it present. -taken from KFpanda.

I'm sorry for the unorganized message.
Maybe it's more like a collage.
Passage that worths more than everyone's wage.
Passage that worths more than just a passage.

I miss you.
I need you.
I want you.
I love you.

(my) boyfriend

A boyfriend to me is someone to rely on, someone to hold on to, and someone to be loved and feel loved by. By having one means taking the great responsibility of taking care of his feelings and love, mentally and physically.

Getting a boyfriend means finishing the process of what so called PDKT which is fuuuun! I really miss pdkt ing days with that butterflies in my stomach and flirtatious statements which obviously anyone would throw up by hearing. HAHA. But seriously, after you're in a relationship, I bet there would be a period when you're missing pdkting days, as I am right now, hahaha. My rltnship is NOT at all boring, but butterflies is something to be missed.

Naa, boyfriend. There was 2 lovely stories regarding mine these days!!! :):)

Well 2 days ago I was about to start my volley practice at school and my boyfriend was about to leave me to go to taman anggrek mall with his friends..well
T: titip soursally yaa kamu baikkkkk deh, nanti abis aku latian kamu balik sekolah
J: uuum kalo bisa yaa..diusahain..ga janji, udah sore soalnya
T: asikkkk yeaaah
J: kalo bisaaa...ga janjiii.. (Desperately saying, haha)

Well, I don't expect much though I said "yeaah" haha. That's a huge favor to ask..haha..BUUUTT..
T: *practicing volley on the court*
J: *suddenly showed up his face at the door, waiting*
T: *looking at jo from distance, thinking that she might be dreaming cos jo was actually holding somthing that looked like a cup of froyo*
At that moment, I asked my friends whether it was him and they said yes and knowing that jo was bringing me the froyo I asked, they cheered and was saying stuffs like "oow jojo's so sweeeet" "dia baik banget perhatian banget" etc. Aww jo you're making me proooud *loh* ahaha <3

T: *approaching jojo* waaaa!
J: *smiling*
T: makasih yaa *ngeliat yogurt yg dia bawain, red mango's, topping nya BUANYAK BGT* but how do I manage to finish this, masih harus latian..
J: bawa aja ke dalem suruh org pegangin.. Palingan diabisin :p
T: enak ajaaa gak mau, haha enak bgt nih panas2 makannya..
*waktu udah mau habis*
T: untung aku lagi voli, jd rakus deh, kalo gak mana abis niiih..

Haha. Thanks ya jojo :):):) small things you've done makes you my best boyfriend in the world, <3
And that makes this story a lot funnier:

This happened a few days ago, when my english teacher who was supposed to teach my class was leaving downstairs, and I was about to go to the toilet.
T: ma'am, aren't you supposed to be teaching my class?
ML (ma'am lina :p): oh saya mau taroh barang dulu di bawah
T: oh okay *walking away*
ML: ooh, tessa, (okay this was SO WEIRD) kamu orangnya tertutup ya?
T: hah??
ML: iya, kamu orangnya tertutup ya? Menurut perkiraan saya kamu bgitu..
T: tertutup gimana ma'am?? (Super bingung aneh bgt ditanyain bginian)
ML: yaaa misalnya kamu punya pacar, dan pacar kamu baik, kamu cuman cerita ke1 orang temen kamu ato bakal cerita ke semuanya? *smiling2*
T: (HAHA) ya kalo pacar saya baik sih saya cerita ke temen2 ma'am. Saya terbuka aja kook.. (Sambil membuat lingkaran besar pake tangan)
ML: ooh, gitu yaa..yaudah.. Hehehehe *ketawa2 senyum2*

And then in her lesson, she approached me out of the blue and said
ML: *right hand on my back* are you sure you're openminded enough?
T: *bingung pertanyaannya ga nyambung and out of the blue lagi* pretty sure ma'am, just in case to understand my friends' problems..
ML; aha. *smiling and left*

That's jojo's homeroom teacher, can you imagine how odd that was??? Hahaha.

But one thing for sure, if I have a nicenicenice boyfriend like mine now, why would I hide him from the world??? :):):)

HAHAAAAAAAA i'm currently in the state of the happiest girl on earth, :D
anyway, i just wanted to blog some things about yesterday haha.

mau post pake bahasa ah :D

jadi kemaren pagi (sabtu) gw ke fx, nyelesein tugas kelompok bahasa indo untuk bikin reportase. i recorded the whole news thing di starbucks with a friend of mine, sherlyn jadi sok2 kayak larry king live gitu deeeh :D. there was jojo toooooooo~ yang jadi record-man

nah, tapi gua dateng kayak telat gitu deh deh deh according to jojo yg uda dateng dari jam 9, soalnya gw tadinya mo dtg jam 8.30 but i have to brangkat bareng my father yg hari itu mau ke bandung. tdnya katanya bokap gw dia mo brkt 7.30, tp bahkan pas kemaren jam 8.30 dia baru packing maan omg so i came very late to fx ;(

so the whole recording and rehearsing were fun. but things fell off when everything has ended and lohan (sherlyn) and jojo had to go home. sementara gw udah gagal ke erasmus huis karena it was 1.15 already :(

abis jojo pulaaaaang, gw ke ratu plaza beli ulead video editor sesuai saran clarisza benedicta runtung untuk ngedit videonya. nah things got worse! he was mad at me because i came late that day so on so forth bla bla bla and bla bla.
dr raplaz karena gw bingung mau ngapain akhirnya i drove off to my grandpa's house di senayan.

nah nah itu udah jam 2an gt. the nekad scene began mulai dari jam 3.20 dimana gw udah gk enak 1/2 mati sama johannes mario sebastian brttzzz gara2 gw telat meen! -_-
jd gw berpikir nekad untuk mengendap2 ke tempat les nya dia which is di hang lekir dan lumayan deket dgn rumah opa gw yg di dket mulia. ekekeke.
tp ternyata jam 3.40an dgn gw udah keringet dingin cari excuse buat kabur dr rumah opa gw, sementara lg nemenin sepupu maen pasir, si jojo sms dia udah pulaaaaang!! yah :(, tp untungnya udah ga marah2 lagi.
hahahaha.

tp gw terlanjur ketemu excuse untuk pulang cepet: bahwa gw mesti jemput adek gw d rumah temennya~ ekekkee. jadi gw nekad2an dan akhirnya janjian di monami~
so me and my driver had to ngiter2 hang lekir asking some pedestrians about monami whereabouts. mana gua gak bs ngontek orang2 dgn pulsa abis dan cdma error, ngeeeng

but luck was on my side yesterday, he did come not long after i found monami hahaha.
and so we met. BAHAHAHAHA :D

there was some highlights HAHA and the pecking scene yg membuat seseorang sangat bangga setelahnya ckck (Nb:ulead = software video editor)
gw tau, lu napsu ya! hahahaa. canda.
T= gw, J=jojo

T : *ngeluarin ulead* liat dong gw udah beli video editor nii buahahaaaaaa sukurin lo blm bwek. ayo ke raplaz ikut
J : engga ah gila lu masa gw ijin beli ragout terus diculik baliknya bawa cd
T : haha yaudah laaaah
J : *mo ngerebut ulead gw*
T : et et et
J : eh expansion pack tuh, hahaha
T : apaan sih service pack gitu tulisannya yee
J : *peck, terus lari ke sate house*
T : *kaget dan bingung*

hahahahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, BANGGA KAU bikin gua nerves.

udah ah, lucu ngingetnya. ga kuat cerita lagi hahahah.
