Homesick

I guess it's been a while eh? No, currently I'm not having a homesick, I just wanna talk about it, for now.

It's been a couple month for me and my friends here in DVC (it's my 5th month, some entering their 3rd), and they started to miss their home for some reason. It could be because they live alone in here (literally no roommate), or the extreme case, being alienated and having only a few friends.

As far as I know, there are two friends of mine who having those symptom, one manage to overcome it, while the other is just begun feeling it. She feel alone simply because she has few to trust, really few, and I guess she miss her condition back in Indonesia.

Does anyone know how to help her?

Anyhow, in case you're questioning wether I had or have homesick yet or not, yeah. I had once, but not in high stadium. I manage to recover quickly.

I believe homesick have to be cured as soon as possible. If it don't it will ruin both of our daily and academic life. Try to cheer.

The Truth

It's been a time since that wrongly-written post. Anyhow, I didn't post a blog not because of that post, nonetheless because I have no idea to post until now.

Gossip. People do love gossips, some even can be said wandering around looking for it. Often we found that the gossip are nothing but lie or false story (hoax) and those gossips are unknown by the gossiper, literally killing/hurting the subject of the gossip.

The truth. Those who goes with gossip, I believe they know nothing about the truth. Even the people are telling them the truth, they wouldn't listen for they would think, that the responds (which sometimes basically are the truth) merely the form of the subject's self-defense.

Remember this line(s). Don't be discourage just because of gossip. You (and maybe your best friends) know the truth. They can talk or think anything they like about you, but they won't by any chance, know the truth better than you (and again, maybe your best friends) do.

So, why you think about it so much? Sometimes you can say, fuck gossip! Yes, I know I can be considered as hypocrite for despising gossip (yes, I do like gossip), but I won't add more than I heard, and I'm not a story teller who tell story to everyone.

I will do my best not to 'sell' my BEST friend.

Trust A Few, Fear The Rest

That quote, is taken from the poster of X-Men. It does mean about we have to trust some of the mutant, and fear the rest of it. Somehow, those quote applied here, in the real life.

As I left high school, I currently experience the college life. Several month after start it, I realize that I have to pay attention to the others. I do learn a lesson, still learning though, that I can't trust a lot of people. I have to pay attention to what I said to other, because I really don't know what they really are, whether they might spoil things to other people or nit. Most of them are nice, but all of them has some quite unacceptable but. By seeing (not viewing), we might be able to know who to trust, vice versa,

Life in college/university is different with high school. One of my housemate who come from Taiwan once said: "I prefer has a few friend. To many friends would cause drama(s). I'm tired of dramas."

I think she's quite right. I'm able to accept that.

I Miss Them

Sooner or later, I would definitely miss a lot of things. I just realize that I miss them. This morning, I had a dream that I goes home to Indonesia, only to spend a weekend (sounds crazy, but hey, it's only a dream), there I saw my father, my friends such as Hans, ManDik, Chris, Ivan, etc. I just realize that I miss them so much.

What I miss right now:
-My family.
-My choir
-My church
-My Lector Family
-The ambience when speaking in the church
-bunch of Indonesian food
-XXI/Blitz

and last but not least for now, my friends. I shouldn't name each of them should I?

No matter how good here in US, no matter how comfortable here, there's no place better than my home, surrounded by my family and friends.

Scary Things That Happened

I know, I haven't post anything since....the time I can't remember. And, to be Frank, this isn't a good time to post for I have an essay to work on, but anyway, I should post it before that thing evaporate.

Some friend of mine came to Pleasant Hill on June 13th. One of them, named Kevin told me some scary shit. Soon after their arrival, our agent brought them to Holiday Inn in Concord. When he arrived there, he saw Edgar, who came with him along with other people, talk to a person. That person is described as wearing a maroon red shirt, wear a black jacket that has orange motive in it, has spiky hair, and the height about the same as I am. His lips is very similar to me, and so does the way he laugh. Practically, he was stating that he saw me talking to Edgar when they were in Holiday Inn. Then he said that that person vanished when our agent gave them their room key and he didn't see him when our agent took them to Denny's later.

He was sure that I was there. It happened on June 14th, around 12 a.m and I was in my apartment along with my other mate. So, basically, it's impossible for me to be in Holiday Inn at that time! Later, Edgar said that he didn't talk to nobody before he received his room key.

So, who is that person who really like me? Was it a ghost who is using my image? Or is it my alter ego? Well.....guess it.

Hello from Pleasant Hill, CA!

Hello, it's been a time since I post a blog here. Well, it's almost a week, oh, it's more than a week actually! Let's straight to the point.

To tell the truth, I quite get bored when people asking: "hey how is SF?" or something like that. Here it is: sometimes it's cold, sometimes it freaking hot! And FYI, I'm in Pleasant Hill, a small town that located 1 hour from San Francisco.



I think this all I can say for now. The next post, I think I will post about my friends and my life in here. Aah, it would be so much fun! Oh, Almost forgot. I'm happy here, and I haven't been attacked by homesick, yet. And yes, I miss my family and friends in Indonesia.
