How I Met Your Mother

At first, I’ve been watching this sitcom in random episodes on Star World. Then I got the full episodes from the first season to the fourth, and some episodes of the fifth season. So, I was like, crazy for it. I watched every episode twice. Maybe because I’m also in holidays. But I could watch something else, instead i chose to watch How I Met Your Mother for the second time.

Well, the story basically about a guy named Ted, on the age between twenty something to thirty, and in the search of true love. Did a lot of dates, sometimes one night stand in the middle, and he’s friends with a married couple that has been together since first year of college, a guy who claimed to be a womanizer, and a girl who’s afraid of commitment. My favorite character is the womanizer guy, Barney Stinson, played by Neil Patrick Harris. He’s annoying, but at the same time very catchy, I guess he did a great job of acting there. Or as he claimed in the serial: he’s awesome.

What drives me crazy is actually because till the fifth season they never really tell who is the “Mother” that Ted talking about. Because the story actually told by Ted for his children on the year 2030, and it’s basically a flashback story of how he met his wife, who soon to be the mother of his children on the future. But until now there’s no clue who the heck is the mother, beside the yellow umbrella. Anyway, you have to really watch the serial to understand the story. Cos I’m basically just telling an incomplete version of mine.

Well, I’m still annoyed and every time I watch an episode of the sitcom I kinda shouted to myself, “tell me who the mother is!”. But I do still enjoy it no matter what cos it’s pretty funny and I’m soo into comedy thing.

Anyway, I hope the next episode will give more clue about the mother. Cos I found it’s kinda irrelevant now to call it by the name of “How I Met Your Mother” if it’s not really telling you anything about the mother. But who am I to judge? the show is still enjoyable either way.

the cast of the show!

Now What?

This is the fifth day since my arrival at Yogya. I still feel weird. Feels like my journey to Singapore was a really looong yet beautiful dream. Yogya is still the same, nothing really changed. Except for some new buildings in some places, most of them are shops. I just realized that I had problems with some friends that I didn’t really understand (till I got here). I haven’t solved it yet, but I hope I will work it out soon. It is stressing me out, really, as I had no idea it is still an issue.

At the moment, I’m avoiding the chance to go to campus. Since I have nothing to do there anyway. So I’m staying in my room all the time. Going online, sleeping, watching cable… Good thing people in the house still have time to hang out with me although they have been busy doing assignments (and dating with their boyfriends *ehem*).

First day was an exhausting one. I arrived around 1 PM and my room was soo messy. Well, my lovely housemates managed to clean it just before I arrived. They swept and mopped the floor, put on the bed sheets, and filled the water gallon. But as soon as I put all my luggage and started unpacking my things, it didn’t look like it was just cleaned anymore. Late in the evening on that day, some friends from campus came over and brought me a welcoming cake. Sooo sweet (thanks Ella, Sasa, Shiela, Nindya, and Dedek). The cake said “welcome home, Karin”. How sweet was that? We enjoyed the cake, took some pictures, and I shared some chocolate and jelly beans I brought from Singapore.

Now I don’t really have anything to do. I still need to take care about KKN (my community service for my university credits), but other than that, I’m a jobless person. Once I asked Ella to ask me to join them when they have study group or something like that. Sally was there, she looked shocked, she touched my forehead and asked “are you sick?”, just because I really want to join them studying. Ella thought I’m that bored. The thing is, I just want to do something. And I always love studying in a group. Actually, I’ve been longing for that since I was still in Singapore. So it won’t be that bad, will it?

I’m going to Semarang tomorrow, spend my weekend there. Just because Andin wants to go home, so I think I might be able to finally do something if I join her. So yeah, I’ll be at Semarang for 2 days and 1 night. Enjoy some homey atmosphere in Andin’s house. I miss my family, actually. Really want to go home to Bengkulu but I still haven’t fixed my KKN thing. Plus, some Singaporean friends will come to Yogya next week. I promised them that I will take them around, so I can’t really go home.

So, what for now? Not much. Just enjoy my day-offs, and try to not get too bored.

idola ciliiikk…

Haaaaa… telah lama tidak menulis di sini. Berbagai hal telah berhasil dilalui pasca indonesia channel. Bahagia juga banyak yang kasih komen. Hihi, mungkin karena alamat blog ini disebar di fs dan facebook gitu deh. Terima kasih terima kasih bagi yang telah menyempatkan diri berkomentar tentang apapun itu. Baik karena iri padaku yang berhasil foto bareng Dikta, ataupun yang iri pada Dikta karena memperoleh kesempatan berfoto denganku. Heheh… Anyway…

Hari ini aku pengen cerita sedikit soal salah satu tayangan di televisi swasta kita yang berjudul “idola cilik”. Beberapa orang ada yang berpendapat acara itu merupakan sebuah eksploitasi terhadap anak-anak. “itu harusnya sekolah kog malah siang-siang begini nyanyi-nyanyi di panggung?”. Ada yang bahkan ga tau idola cilik itu acara apa dan dimana. “kamu kog hapal sih Rin pesertanya? Aku aja ga tau ada acara ini”. Aku sendiri? Personally, aku suka banget nonton acara ini. Ya soal eksploitasi dan anak-anak yang jadi ga bisa sekolah sih sedikit banyak aku setuju. Tapi tidak menyurutkan kesukaanku menonton acara ini.

Hmm, ada dua alasan kenapa aku suka. Pertama, aku suka liat bocah yang nyanyi. Apalagi kalo nyanyinya bagus. Seperti Kiki si pemenang idola cilik season 1 (keliatan banget kan yak ngefans idola cilik-nya?), kalo dia nyanyi aku sering merinding-rinding gitu… hiiii. Soalnya bagus banget. Alasan kedua, nonton idola cilik itu reminds me of family. Seperti yang aku tonton hari ini. Ada Rahmi, peserta dari Aceh. Nyanyi lagu “Yang Terbaik Bagimu” punya Ada Band bareng ayahnya. Terus tiba-tiba aku nangis aja gitu… Haha, cengeng banget yak? Soalnya setengah jam sebelum Rahmi nyanyi itu ayahku telepon. Cuma ngobrol-ngobrol biasa sih. Tapi hari ini yang ga biasa. Ini lagi Idul Adha, dan ya aku sih ikut Andin pulang ke rumahnya di Semarang. Tapi tetep aja, kangen keluarga di rumah. Makanya tadi waktu liat si Rahmi nyanyi sama bapaknya bikin aku nangis. Hihi… Mengingatkanku pada orangtua dan adik-adik nun jauh di sana. Udah 3 tahun nih ga idul Adha di rumah. Huahuaa…

Weh jadi cerita idul adha ini? ya intinya aku suka idola cilik dan sebisa mungkin akan tetep nonton kalo kebetulan tidak ada kuliah atau pekerjaan lain ketika acara ini tayang. btw,

Selamat Idul Adha semuaa…
