keep doing it

Recently, i was being asked to write two articles for two different occasions and places. First, in Lemariage Magazine. It is a wedding magazine and i've got rubric relationship for me to write. Second, there is this bulletin some of women in my office would build, and i was being asked to write an article for them. It is quite an experience for me although the first one is more challenging, emm maybe i was just more liking it. Soon, i hope two of them will be published and i'll get the preview for you.

Keep doing what you like, people.

Cheers!
Alice Ayu

Indonesia Berharap

Haloha, after a long time, finally i opened this blog to write whats on my mind. Kali ini tentang Indonesia dulu deh. Gw ga inget apa gw udah pernah ngomong hal ini explicitely atau belum, tapi yang jelas kali ini gw mau ngomong. Hmm, sejujurnya gw ngga pernah ngerti dengan orang yang selalu bilang "Indonesia mah sampah", biasanya kelanjutannya berupa perbadingan antara Indonesia dengan negara lain atau pun dengan Indonesia era sebelumnya, misalnya waktu zaman kekuasaan Pak Soeharto. Kenapa sih harus kayak gitu? Gw yakin yang pada ngomong kayak gitu kalo hidup di zaman Pak Harto terus ada keluarganya yang kebunuh juga kesel juga. Kecuali kalo yang ngomong yang emang udah pernah ngalamin rasanya hidup di zaman itu. Lah ini yang ngomong anak-anak muda seusia gw. Lagian at the first place kenapa sih harus ngomong kayak gitu. Emang kalo gw boleh tau, lo udah nyumbang apa buat Indonesia supaya orang bisa ngga ngomong kalo Indonesia itu sampah.

Zaman dulu emang ada perancang muda yang bajunya bisa dipake penyanyi luar (Tex Saverio for Lady Gaga), emang ada film Indonesia yang bisa menang piala ini itu? Emang lo ngga tau angka kemiskinan juga berkurang? I mean, lo udah ngapain sih sampe bisa ngomong gitu? Kesel lho gw ga bohong.

Udah gitu doang deh. Gw pinginnya anak muda tu bertindak, menyumbang, jadi harapan, bukan ngemeng. Ngemeng itu buat anak SMA sampe pertengahan kuliah lah masih oke. Kalo baru sekarang lo ngeluhnya berarti baru sekarang lo melalui proses berpikirnya, ke mana aja lo kemarin-kemarin? Sekarang udah bukan saat pembuktian diri buat diri lo sendiri, sekarang saatnya pembuktian buat dunia di luar diri lo bahwa emang lo bisa, lo useful.

Ciao!

the sun reflection

as the sun comes down, brings the shine with it. asks us to forget all regrets and mistakes. today, i looked outside, to the building next to my office window and i found the reflection of the sun, gave her goodbye smile to the world. as the entire sky turns out to orange blue, i pack my bag, ready to meet the adventure. so whats your plan tonight, people? have some nice foods, grab some beers? change your office attire to a party costume? or just catch some potatoes, bring them home and watch nice movies? whatever it is as long as you have fun. it doesnt always has to be the same with others, you know, the thing that you are about to do tonight. some people partying and have a lot of fun, some people could just sit tight at home and still have so much fun. nothing is cooler or geeky-er between one to another. just dont be ashamed of who you are.

after all, this is a friday night. lets rock it and be fun!

kiss,
aliceayu

new-post-button

everytime i wear this earphone, running this songs list from my i-Tunes and click the new post button on my blog page, i feel different. i feel that i am so much different from anybody else. i feel special. the truth is, we all are special until sometimes at some point, somewhere inside our body says that we're not and it keep saying that until we believe that we're no different. many times ago, i was somebody far away from i am now. i could say that i am better than i was before. for me, it's not all fair if we are allowed to say "we get better" only after we compare ourselves to another. instead, we could compare ourselves to ourselves before.

i never know how many people coming by to my blog and reading my post. it wont change anything anyway. even the truth that nobody is reading wont broke me, because no matter what, i do something about something i like. so dont be afraid of loosing. you're being a looser only if you are too afraid to do something you like. fail is not when you're trying and it doesnt work. fail is when you're not trying at all.

ciao.
