It's raining and I'm a narcissist, Whatever.... *sign out*

Hu hu hu...
It's always raining everyday for almost a week now. Frankly, I don't like the rain. It's hard to do activities when it's raining outside. First there's this thing, the chilly humid weather that turn us sleepy. If I have to choose between doing things outside and curling up in bed with blanket all over me, I'd settle upon the later. Rain also makes us can't relish the excitement of outdoor activities. Like this afternoon when I have to cancel my going-to-gym routine, because it's raining heavily and I only have my motorbike as my transportation. Or Like last weekend, during my trip to bandung, where I have to went back and forth twice to 'Kawah putih' just to enjoy half an hour clear-without-rain scenery. humph! It's sucks! On the other side, I guess there's also times when me likey the rain so much! When the temperature gets to hot, a couple hours rain would be like a blessing! I also once read a quote from someone, that he likes walking in the rain cuz then no one will recognize that he is crying! A great idea huh, walking in the rain to cry!

Aniweiz, about my trip to bandung, I think I got some of my friends in amaze of seeing how narcissistic I've become lately. lols. Every now and then, whenever there is a good background, a great place, an amazing scenery, I was always posing and then asked to be photographed! Dhea and Medhia then Uploads the pics on the facebook through their BB. I don't realize how many pics were taken until I opened my facebook account and there are more than a hundreds notification of pics tagged on me! ha ha ha
This things makes me remember, my best friend, indry's comment on my facebook wall

Indry, March 19 at 6.24 pm : Kel, masih ada kebingungan di hati gw...Sejak kapan yah lu jadi narcis????Fotonya kayanya makin banyak ajah....

Indry, 54 seconds ago : Kel... please dong fotonya..cukup cukup...huhuhuhuhuhu...

I also didn't know what turned me to a narcissist like this, Cuz I never liked to be in photograph before! Maybe it's because I can accept and get much comfort with this not-so-fat images of me or maybe I've been possessed by a narcissist ghost! If the case was the second then I guess I need H-E-L-P!

But being a Narcissist do no harm no anyone right? So can I just say whatever?!? and then continue taking pictures? :P
Whatever then sign out! Can't help but to write a story about this, the things that toma and egi said is very me! lols. The story was about a YM conference with Gengges + Vikry. A healthy discussion turned into a sensitive and mind-boggling one to me! Instead of arguing with them, I just said whatever! and then I sign out of YM! Yeah yeah.. very childish of me and I regret doing so after few minutes passed and I get calmed down. But that moment already framed on everyone's minds whom were on the conference that night! We make fun and laugh about it nowadays!

Julian, Whatever! *sign out*

Wanna be on Top?

"Wanna be on top? " That's what Tyra banks always said in the opening of America's next top model show.

But instead of Tyra, there's Mr. Sharkie Banks who said this to me! Shark aka Albert is the host of this show named Indonesian pageants' next top model. A photoshoot contest on the internet held by one forum, Indonesian pageant forum. The contest itself took format from the infamous ANTM where contestants ~ mostly members of the forum~ get a challenge and a photoshoot task each week with different theme. The weakest contestant meaning the one with the weakest photos will get eliminated one by one until the next top model is chosen. The next model because the show itself already reach cycle 2.

I always thought that this show is just for fun, that's why I decided to register myself as one of the model. It's not until today, the day I received the Shark's mail about the challenge and the photoshoot task that I finally realize, This is serious business! Ohmaigod!! ha..ha..ha.. I don't even know how to pose in front of camera and camera always have bad sentiment on me, well at least that's my thought after skimming through my photo album! what should I do now?!?! Arrgghhh.... Lols!!

I still get two weeks before the deadline of submitting my photos come. Crap.. I must watch Antm season by season all over again now, to learn some fierce pose! hehehe.. hopefully I won't be eliminated on the first episode cause that would be SUCKs!!!
For infos, U may check the official IPntm site here

Julian, Ready to be on TOP!

What-a-weekend!

Last weekend, It looked like i had just done so many things

First thing, I got to attend a wedding of my college friend, Yudhis! Interesting thing about this wedding was that I got the invitation via facebook. We all knew the power of tagging right? Apparently Yudhis deciced to employed this facebook feature by uploading a picture of his wedding invitation and then tagged us, all of his friend along in the picture! Amazing huh, how the innovation can be so useful and of course money saving!
Not much happened at the wed tho, but I had a great time seeing and chatting with old college friends.

From the wedding party, I hurried to Plaza Senayan, seeing another friends, Medhia, Dhea, Inda and Windy. The meet purpose was to discussed our plan to spend the upcoming long weekend (Nyepi Holiday this Thursday) in Bandung. We talked about where we would go, where to stay also transportation and also not forgetting the 'urunan' - collected money for expenses. The meet with the girls ended up with me watching movie 'confession of a shopaholic' with them. I was hesitant at first but they insisted me going on with them. Well, I ended up enjoying the movie, not bad, maybe the story was too girlie but it surely give me good laughs as the dumb and silly act of avoiding debt collector by becky went out of control.

At 7 pm, my sis suddenly gave me a call, saying that my mother went to a wedding party of her friend's son and she needed me to pick her up! Urghh.. I stuttered.. remembering that I have appoinment to hang out with Gengges (Muki, Toma and Egi). It's not only the appointment that made me stumble but also the vivid image of foods that will be served on the party that surely will tempted me and ruined my whole diet! As predicted... I ended up munching a plate of sate padang, a plate of sate madura, a cup of zoupa soup, and a plate of main course! So much for a diet huh lols

By 10 pm, I already arrived at Wiwied, The place where I supposed to meet with my fellow Gengges + Vikry. Like usual, they were late! Thenk God I have a friend to accompany me through the telephone. Toma rushingly talked about my wrongly written text to him previously that night with others. Something about going to Egi's house while Egi was not at home. he he he Aniweiz, that night, we had a pajamas party at Egi's place except none of us wear pajamas. Nothing much to be done but watched movies, karaoke-ed, chatted all nite long. I excused my self around two i guessed since my eyes won't cooperate. So sleepeeeh. Oh I forget to pointed out that Egi's house is very cozy and comfy but I can't help to get a lil mystical ambience from it too. Of course Egi's stories about si muka bolong and her friends that was spotted occasionally by his family didn't help but added dramatic impression.

It was almost noon, when we said Goodbye to Egi's parent. And It didn't have to wait much longer til Toma had this greeat idea to visit Ragunan Zoo. Hummpph.. and I thought U just said it was a bad idea couple weeks ago Mr. Toma. Well, The idea turned out was not bad. I think I enjoyed my first time ever to visit this zoo. Seeing the animals especially the big one like tapir, elephant and giraffe was unimaginably refreshing. The greatest time I had from this visit was when I got to see the Gorillas. Oooomaaigod. That creature was just so beautiful yet strong. I am amazed. All was good until the heavy rain struck and left us wet and shivering in the sideroad shelter. Urghh.. Goddess of rain was not cooperating. Toma ended up get a cold. I think I also was very exhausted and started to not felt good. Nothing that a good rest can't overcome

Overall, It's pretty hectic weekend huh.. So much have been experienced
I really had a great time, Thanks to my amazing friends

My Strengths and Weaknesses!

As an active Jobseeker, I get to attend for job interview here and there.
One of the question that I noticed always appeared was

"What is Your Strength and Weaknesses?"

When the first time I was asked this question, I was stumbled as I've never thought before what my strentgh and weaknesses are. I think one of the reason I failed on some interview because of this, not knowing the answer to this Q

So after giving a serious-long-getting to know myself better moment of thinking, I think I manage to point out some points

My strengths

• Determined, I always do my best to get something that I want or in doing my works. I usually won't stop til people recognize me. I think it's a strength rite?
• I would put fast learner as one of my strength too. I think I don't have problems learning something that is completely new for me. Usually I manage to learn this new thingy in a lesser time than anybody else
• I don't know if this is a strength or not, but I think i'm a good listener. I always enjoy listening to my friends' stories and memorize the important or valuable moments on their stories. I think if I can relate this to working world, a good listener for instruction would be a plus point

My Weaknesses

• Being a last minute man probably was one of my weakness. What I mean by last minute man here is that I works my best near deadline. All these great ideas suddenly pour on my head when the clock ticking to the end. Maybe it's the adrenaline or whatever it is I don't know. Actually there's nothing bad about being a last minute man as long as the job is done, rite? But the down side is we won't have time to revised, check and re-check again our works.
• I'm an individualist! If i can do something by my own, I would do it myself. it's not that I don't like working with others, it's just that I don't trust them. A karma of a perfectionist I think, that I only trust my works. It's not good, because imposible for me to be good at anything. I realize that, but still, I just can't help it
• I would also put shyness as one of my weakness. I have this desire to know new people, expanding networks, making up new friend but there's something that always hold me back. the thought that I would be boring, I can't find something to talk about and so on keep making me stay in silence whenever I realy want to make friends with new people

Julian, finally know himself better
