In this July Edition of the Magazine I've been working on, kita ngangkat tema music. Pas meeting dibahas lah what kinda music yang mau di bahas. Diputusin kalo 80's music yang bakalan jadi intinya. Si 80s ini ternyata berkembang jadi nostalgia status sosial di ruang meeting. I'm not disapproving, cuma makes me remember that old days to, i wouldnt say it was bad, it's just un-wanna-go-back-there-again. My 80's and mid 90's is probably the most exhausting social environment Ive ever been through. I was in this private school yang menganggap semua yang ga penting jadi penting. Kayanya, tiap hari ada bulletin (or dare I say Clue Magazine hihi) yang kita harus baca tiap hari, karena kalo ga tau akan jadi orang yang sangat ga penting. Tapi si bulletin ini invisible, jadi ngeliatnya harus pake mata dan kuping yang sangat-sangat peka. Karena this little detail ga mungkin diumumin begitu aja, everything yang udah out loud itu udah basi. Get it?
Yah begitulah, these details lah yang coming back di perang pamer ruang meeting, yang ternyata jadi berhari-hari maybe ampe majalah naek cetak. They loved it so much, maybe coz they were the happening people back then, (n they still are) and they now these tiny things much much more than I do (of course they are older). It just made me think, they could be nice n friendly to me right now, but back the they could the ones intimidating me, n making my life such a lame thing. And whether they know it or not, thats what theyre doin now.Pameran yang ampir sebulan ini akhirnya dirangkum di main artikel, yang mesti di lay out satu halaman saja, imagine the screaming and the shouting of knowing it all. Kesimpulannya, tergantung where your social inviroment is, kalo anak BMX dengerinnya ga mungkin sama ama anak slow rock, after all music is identitas diri.
Notice that i'm not writing about any music or any songs? Coz kalo ditulis, I would feel like exactly what they're doin.

JASON MRAZ "Sleep All Day"
Since di kantor lagunya dustak dustak mulu.. lagi di pinjemin CD nya Jason Mraz juga, so i dowload it. Turns out, they love Jason’s tunes also.
Specially this one. Oo.. what a rest to my ears.
JASON MRAZ "Sleep All Day"
His after moan though cries oh no
He's building up a shine but he take it slow
And he knows it's time to make a change here And time to get away
And he knows it's time for all the wrong reasons, oh, time to end the pain
But he sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
Why don't we?
She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they've done
No way he said take it, take it and don't break it with your own two hands
That was my old man and he said
if all is grounded you should go make a mountain out of it
oh what a lovely day to have a slice of humble pie
recalling of the while we used to drive and drive here and there
going nowhere but for us, nowhere but for the two of us
and we knew it was time to take a chance here
and time to compromise our lives for awhile
and it was time for all the wrong reasons
but time is often on my side and I give it to you tonight
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
as time goes by we get a little bit tired waking and baked another Marlboro mile wide
it's sending the boys on the run in the time in hot summer sun
to swim beneath or over outside as they're reading between the lines
then they remember the part in the hallmark card where they read about the dreams
and reaching for the stars to hold on a little bit closer to
and they knew it was time, time to take a chance here
time to compromise our little lives just a little while
and they knew it was time for all the wrong and, lonely, lonesome reasons, oh
as time is often on my side and I give it to you, oh boy
and we sleep all, sleep all day, sleep all, we sleep all day over again
She said what would your mother think and how would your father react oh lord
Would he take it all back what they've done
No way he said take it, take it and don't break it with your own two hands

Antara 13 Maret sampai 13 Juni
Sebenernya agak-agak malas sih nge-up date blog, Cuma udah agak-agak malu ama diri sendiri. Malahan betah berjam-jam ngebacain blog yang laen. Everybodeeeh! Hebat ya! Kok bisa sih ditengah-tengah load kerjaan, tugas kampus, bahkan skripsi, masih dengan tekunnya nulis. Karena di kantor im glued to the tube of my computer gara-gara kerjaan n dateline mepet, ga rela bgt rasanya kalo menghabiskan my free time dengan nulis (coz I have to sit in front of that box again). N since so much happened in the past weeks, jadi di rapel aja ya.
Clue magazine Juni
After just a few days dari terbitnya magazine Mei, I already make a rough layout of what I wanted to do with this issue. The color, the flow, so later on it would save time. Tapi seperti biasa iklan dan materi baru ngumpul last days. Untung juga sih udah bikin template semua, jadi tinggal paste tulisan aja. All I recall is at some point I felt so drained and out of place.
Phone Call with Ika (again)
Cape bgt pulang kantor hari jumat, dan manda ga ngajakin ngopi. So I called Ika, my one and only friend that stayed at home at this time (coz we dont have BF, even her mom love to laugh at us). Every Friday noon I always felt alone, krn anak2 kantor kerjaannya kalo jam segituan ngomongnya udah ttg clubbing ato rave party mulu. I don't go to clubs. Coffee bean is a satifaction for me. They're not mean people, they just work hard, party hard, drink hard, rave hard. For me it's work hard, shop hard, pray hard. But my dear friend Ika post me a good quote in between my complaints about everything, Yan, jangan kaya Lobster, luarnya keras taoi dalemnya lunak, lo harus jadi kebalikannya, luarnya lunak, tapi dalamnya punya base yang kuat.
Sari Nila
Penting ya? Penting! She's my idol, and she's gonna be in my magazine as featured profile. Agak dag dig dug juga coz ampir ga jadi karena dia lagi ke state. Jadi berubah lah Sari Nila jadi.. Dewi Ivo-Riyanni Djangkaru-Asti Ananta (?!) knpa dari my idol jadi my worst nightmare. (maaf pecinta asti, saya tidak suka dia). But Mba Nila saves the day, shes back, all tired but still drop dead smartly beautiful, with black singlet, etnik necklace, and a long gypsy skirt. I think I would make a written contribution ( blog written), as a tribute to her.
Pitching another magazine
Yaya ternyata dateline ketat dengan satu designer belom cukup buat kantor ini. Mesti nge-gaet satu lagi. Argh!!! Baru istirahat satu hari (wait a minute, setengah hari). Udah disuru ikut pitching. Did I tell you that I stayed till 12 for 3 days straight in the office, n I have to be back by 9 the morning after? I didnt, well I just did. And this cost me a day sleep over too. And another all nigt long mock up printing at Snappy. But it's good learning experience, coz we were guided by one of the best design consultant in Jakarta, or even local advertising. His design was outstanding (jiper gasih). He gave us a peek look of books and magazines, to show us the look that they want. My first design was too flat, so we had to redesign it again. But, I think the outcome was pretty good. Hoped it’s a goal!
Mello Melahirkan (lagi)
Setelah menggendut cukup lama si melski ngelahirin tiga anak. Kaya sapi semua, sekarang udah pada melek, buooooduoooohhhhh bgt tampangnya. Sehat-sehat ya, nanti mau di adopsi papa febri.
She's the one
Sabtu Pagi, abis naek cetak, dan kerjaan, I dont know what to do. Biasanya ngapain ya? Ooo .. my girlfriends.. where are they? With their bf of course. But atleast biasanya mereka telpon, just to curhat about their spouse, their HTI, or whatever. Well, I guess lagi pada ga ada masalah kayanya. *my phone vibrate* yan, ngupi2 yuk di coffee bean. -amanda.
PIM Reminiscing
Karena tiap jumat udah ke Town Square mulu (yaya.. bkn status sosial yg membanggakan), jadi this week minta manda untuk ke PIM aja, yah for old tome sake. Makan KFC, trus ke Oh Lala, chat till night, ooo that good old days.
Jadi nyampe sana sambil nungguin manda, jalan2 ke tempat seatu Metro, it's a surreal feeling, having to know about this place so much but u don’t belong there anymore. I know it’s impossible NOT to meet atleast one of my ex co-worker, and as predicted, there she is, niken, one of the girls from the same department, after a small chat, she have to meet her friend. Manda, sms me, she’s here. Straight to the colonel sanders place. There begins the blabbing, the showoff-ing (hahaha) .. such a stress reliever. It's 9 o’clock already, and febri is gonna join us at 10. so, we decided to move, sambil ngopi-ngopi. Jadi jalan lah kami, sambil liat2 sepatu sepatu dan sepatu. And planet sports, kan rencananya mau balik maen tennis lagi, jadi sambil cari-cari sepatu tennis (hmm mahal ya). After that kita ke daily bread, since oh lala tutup karena perbaikan jembatan PIM. Yah suw duduklah kita. Klik.. kok Toys City gelap ya? Eh Disc Tara, man ingetin gw nanti ke Disc Tara ya, gw mau beli Coldplay, nanti dapet gelang.. ga penting yan. Klik, kok Disc Tara matiin lampu, banner The Incredible bergoyang-goyang masuk toko. Huaa.. Pim dah mau tutup. Padahal Town Square jam segini baru pada dateng. Rupanya karena terlalu sering berkhianat ama Pim, kita jadi lupa kalo Pim tutup jam 10. Orang Daily Bread udah beres2 kursi, dan kita baru sadar, we're the only one yang ditungguin. Dengan muka bingung, malu dan ketawa sepanjang jalan keluar lah kita membawa ice blend masing2 yang masih penuh dan ikut berbondong-bondong bersama rombongan SPG Metro.
Ktemuan ama Wirda n Monika-chan
Yang ini baru beberapa hari yang lalu. Akhirnya!!! Cieee langsung pamer majalah de. Siap guys! Siap dikomentarin, komennya kok cuma, satu majalah lo semua yan? Enden back to gossip, ahahaha, tetep aja udah keluar dari sana, pingin tau aja gitu dunia dalam beritanya kantor lama. Yang udah sepi, yang udah berubah tata letaknya, yang makin banyak kontroversinya. But I missed it, miss them, miss my spot, miss my girls, miss our talks. I never knew I would miss metro this much.
