Dr. Antoni

Well, after a year of struggle (and mostly tears), finally my thesis is finished yaay! Now I'm still working on the revision, used for yudisium's requirement.

On my thesis defense, I got Mr. Antoni and Mr. Fikri as my prober. FYI, Mr. Fikri is a new lecturer while Mr. Antoni....well, what can I say about him? The students called him 'walking dictionary'. He is genius! With all respect to my other lecturer, but he knows all. I mean, ALL! He even knows which theories in which book in which page. He made me read a lot of books which I haven't read before (well, what have I been doing since the first semester? *-_-)....and surprisingly, I'm enjoying this. I wanna know more about communication studies.

Suddenly think to take master degree and becoming lecturer....
Amen to that? :)

How Could We Know?!

Senin kemarin, dalam edisi nungguin hujan reda. Ada aku, Uyab, Firdha, Findha, ama Tari. Kita nungguin hujan reda mulai jam 1 dan sampe jam 4 belum kelar-kelar juga. Nggak heran lah ya kalo obrolan jd ngelantur kemana2. Awalnya ngomongin gimana ngatur keuangan, gimana sih biar hemat, dsb. Eh lama2, sampai juga ke masalah cowok.

Uyab: Cowok itu ada 2 macem. Tipe pertama, ada cowok yang suka tantangan. Dia orangnya harus terus dibikin penasaran. Kalo ditengah2, dia ngerasa kalo ceweknya gampang didapetin, ya dia bakal males. Nah kalo cowok tipe kedua, ini tipe cowok yang ceweknya juga harus ikutan ngode, biar cowoknya tau kalo si cewek ini juga suka.
Findha: Trus gimana caranya kita tau cowok ini tipe pertama atau kedua?
Uyab: (diem bentar) Ya pake feeling
Aku, Firdha, Findha: Ya menurut nganaaaaa gimana caranya kita bisa nebak?!

Emang gimana sih caranya bisa nebak cowok mana yang tipe pertama atau tipe kedua?

Neither Faking Nor Saying The Truth

So, random things just happened this morning. When I woke up then took a bath, suddenly I thought about this stuffs. Which one is better when you are on approach term (or PDKT, in Indonesian term): you just be the real yourself no matter how silly you are OR you create an image as an ideal woman to get him as your guy?

I remembered, I talked with few friend about this topic. One friend (woman) said that yes indeed you HAVE to act like who you are, no faking things, no creating image. But the other friend (guy) said that when you're approaching someone, you are in game mode, which means that you have to be strategic! Pull-and-push, no badmood period....because the approach term are crucial. The guy will value you in the early 2 weeks. That's why, in that 2 weeks, the woman has to create a good image so the guy will attracted.

I do admit both of them are true, if you seeing it from different perspectives (yeah, since men are from Mars and women are from Venus). But, I still haven't get the answer even after I heard those argument from them: which one is better? Which one do you choose?

But if you asking me, probably I would answer like this:
I want the guy who accept me for the way I am from the first time we know each other.
I want the guy who all okay even I'm Milanisti when he's Juventini
I want the guy who all okay even when I'm eating a bowl of soto and another fried chicken in one go
I want the guy who all okay when we're eating ice cream together, and I'm asking 'may I have your ice cream? I want more'
I want the guy who all okay when I'm not replying his message while I'm so excited to read a lot of comics
I want the guy who all okay when I'm singing ABG Tua in front of him, with dancing of course
I want the guy who all okay when I'm dominating the conversation while we're dating
I want the guy who all okay talking about politics, ideology, sports, gossips, and others
I want the guy who all okay when I call him and cry for some trouble I could've been made that day
I want the guy who all okay when I'm cranky since I'm on period

Am I asking too much?
