Money can't buy us happiness
But it is needed to pay our bills, internet bill to be specific lol.
We don't need much money. We only need 'enough'. Enough to fulfill our needs and wants haha. Well I don't know how much money I could earn. But there are soooo many things that I can afford once I have enough. I need to be a good financial planner to maintain it.
Here is my priority list:
1. New phone. I want Nexus 5, its spec is enough for me. I love Sony phones but they are getting more expensive, also their android update is kinda late.
2. DSLR camera. I love taking pictures since...... I don't remember when. I once took a picture with a great sky as background with only my 3.2 MP cellphone's camera. I think since that time? I'm not a pro, not enough money to do so. Uh my other hobby needs to be fulfilled too so... xD
3. A Japan trip. Nah, I need to be more precise about the 5W 1H of this trip. Because there are so many places in Japan that I would like to visit and those places scattered all over the country.
4. Venice trip. Oh but not as important as visiting Japan for me :p
Basically that's all. Actually if SS501 will ever be reunited again I would like to go over to Korea and watch their concert. But I don't have much hope haha, not in my priority list. I need car too, so it will be easier if I want to do a trip domestically. Can't drive yet, so later maybe. There are many other dreams but those I mention before are my priority.
I have so many hobbies so I can't determine what is my passion and such. Those hobbies I acquired because I often spend time alone and I am easily getting bored about things. Having many hobbies makes me able to alter one with another in case I'm bored ^^;; Among those hobbies, photography and drawing always gives me satisfaction once I successfully draw well or take a great photo. I kinda hope those pictures I draw or take inspire someone. Reading always clear my thirst of emotions.
This blog is a result of being alone and having much hobby. I need to share my thoughts, my head is full, most times with random like this post(?) lol. That's why several post tagged 'pensieve' (HP lover will know what I relate to).
Zaijian for now.

General Election 2014, 1st Leg [updated]
Yay it's my first time to participate in election! In this leg Indonesian are to choose their representatives in parliament. It can be a certain name or a certain party. Honestly I don't like politics but I do think this country need some serious improvement. So I use my right to vote. I don't know if I choose the right people though I've done research and such u.u;;; Only quite sure my choice for DPR, not sure about DPRD and DPD #fail
The 2nd Leg will be choosing Indonesia next president. It will be on July. For now, let's see which party will win this round by the end of the day. Maybe I'll update later.
Oh clearly PDI-P won.
I met again with a friend of mine. At the place we cast our vote yesterday. We went to the same elementary school and always went home together using the same car. Back then she was my best friend. Sometimes we held each other hand while walking. I'm the smart and quiet type. She is the pretty and friendly type. After graduating elementary school, we never goes to the same school ever again. I once played to her house, telling stories about each other school. But after that, I don't think I remember ever met her again, until yesterday. Somehow I feel glad meeting her again. It makes me realised, I miss her haha. We are not as close as we used to, but we are still friends anyway. Oh there are other girl who used to be my (our) best friend too. She is the sweet and trendy type. But her stories are for other time to tell.

Expectation is dangerous
That's what I learn lately. Just read news about SS501's leader Kim Hyun Joong said that he's not confident about the group reunification. All in all, as fans we really shouldn't expect much eh. I mean, even closest people to us, cannot always meet our expectation. Idol, well, is basically a stranger. We are just fans. So it's not right if putting so much hope on stranger.
It's kinda convince me, that the only person I can trust is me. Should not put too much expectation on others. As little as possible, so I will not be so disappointed when it can't be fulfilled. So if I expect wrongly, there won't be much damage inflicted on me and others.
Something too much is not good. Even if it's good things like love, hope, trust, kindness, etc, if too much of them it won't do any good.

Idoling
Honestly I no longer has that *much* interest to kpop, especially for groups who makes their debut after 2012. Even groups who debut at 2012, I probably only went as far "oh they released a new song" and watch the MV. If I like the song I'll download it, if not, well enough then. I prefer identify myself Korean pop culture enthusiast(?). Why?
First, I listen to their music, yeah, not all though. I only have one fandom and that is Triple S, for SS501. Yeah they are not popular currently, because they are in hiatus. They were quite popular back then, on par with DBSK (as 5). As for DBSK/TVXQ-JYJ, CN BLUE, KARA (I have their CDs, my sis like Yunho and yeah a Cassiopeia too I think), I'm not in their fandom, just liking them a bit more than other groups, still less than SS501. Plus whenever they perform, I also pay attention to the dance moves and dancers.
Second, I still watch k-drama, the viral one or the one who got my idols(?) starred in it. Even the currently airing dramas which starred by Yuchun (3 Days) and Hyunjoong (Inspiring Generation), I'm not really watching them, just my sis blabbing the stories after she watched them.
Third, I watch Korean TV shows too, Running Man and KBS' shows. My TV has KBS World so I watch it sometimes, much better than local soap operas and kinda tired watching those detective serials on FOX. Gag Concert are funny, though sometimes they use Korean jokes that I can't comprehend.
Fourth, I watch Korean movie. They has several quite good movies. You gotta watch Old Boy, it's so angst and I really think the scriptwriter is sadist.
Last, I gotta admit they have quite good fashion sense. And good cosmetics. (I still prefer The Body Shop though). And high end gadgets. (Samsung is cool, but again, I prefer Sony).
You probably wonder if those 5 points are not much haha. Because I don't tweet much about them anymore, only tweet after watching/listening something. I don't 'kya' often, and no longer regard my bias as my husband or boyfriends. I don't get broken hearted when their dating or marriage news surface, I always think that's good for them, means they have a little bit of normal life. There are several people who are still like that in my timeline, so from what I see, I'm not that much interested.
As for Arashi, it's tiring keeping up for a group who has their own show 3/4 times a week, not to mention individual dramas if there are any, plus their single as that drama soundtrack, a full album once a year, and by the end of the year as Kohaku Uta Gassen MC. Ah also commercials, countless. Concert tours, 1-2 every year, awesome concerts though, they put great effects. So yeah it's getting tiring and a little boring, same pattern every year. If the drama is good I'll watch though. Also the PVs, but not right away after it's released.
As for 48 (AKB and JKT), I'm not wota. I just happen to like several of AKB's old songs and know several members. Yeah I did watch JKT's shows but again, I only know several members. I pay attention to them becuase they are AKB's sister group and I found it's quite interesting to have such group in this country xD.
So yeah, it's not so important post but kinda want to talk about it. Idoling is a place to be delusional and quite effective in managing stress (for me).
Kkeut, bye.

Moneeeeyyhh
I desperately (okay that's exaggeration) need money. Running Man and 2NE1 coming to my country and though I have decreased interest towards kpop, I can't really ignore them.
There's Asian Dream Cup by JS Foundation going to be held so there will be a charity football match and like two previous years, Running Man is participating. Last year was Patrice Evra as guest, I wonder who will it be this year. Another Manchester United player or kpop idol? There's also a possibility that RM won't do any mission and game here, just playing football, so yeah I decide to watch. I kinda want to stalk because my experience told me possible hotels and places they'll visit here but it will be hard since I don't drive on my own. Ah I have prediction of possible places if they are about to do any mission here. Nope, not gonna post it here, too dangerous if people flock that place, I want to see them at peace :p. Actually I've seen Jihyo and Jongkook when the presented award at MAMA 2013 but hey it was far and formal and no fun, not RM, different feeling.
As for 2NE1, after 2 cancelled events, they are finally come, so.... yay. (Sorry if I don't sound that happy haha). Zahra is a Blackjack and she begged me to accompany her to watch, and she is also one of the people I can't refuse so.... yeah, I'm gonna spend money on them. I've heard 2NE1 performed at MAMA 2013 actually, but I can't see them because of the properties they used on stage. Plus it was slow tempo songs, not fun like the usual 2NE1. I want to see more.
To think I'm gonna spend money on something that was not I most like is............... but I'm gonna spend them anyway haha-_- It's kinda makes me regret went to Pangandaran, or else I'll still have 600K in my account haha-.- Though that much money was optimized in vacation but still...............
Should I just marry an oil king or heir of multinational company or .................whatever. Just kidding xD
I haven't even done with my love pfft
There are many things that I shouldn't have done but I don't want to live with regret so........ let things flow.
Oh I have enough money actually. I just can't stand the thought that I'll be almost bankrupt after I bought the tickets xD
[edited]
I think it's kinda related, but if my expense for CD and concerts are combined.. nah don't ask me but it will be quite a lot. There are things I buy on impulse and not gonna buy more from those groups.

Pangandaran March 14-17
So it's kinda late post, yeah. Things come up (like having a fight with ex and stuff) which made me sorts of unwilling to write this post, but here I am anyway. It will be a short post though, since we didn't do much, spent many hours of driving and getting lost.
March 14
Yogi's house was the starting point, we left at 11 PM.
March 15
Stopped by at rest area at around 1 or 2 AM. Ate a little (PopMie for me) and continuing journey. We (or should I say Yogi, as he is the driver) followed the direction told by Siri (yeah that iPhone girl one) and going through very dark and uneven roads. In the morning stopped by to pray, also stop by to eat porridge as breakfast (which tasted yuckkkks). Arrived at Green Canyon at.... 10 AM? I forgot. They said the water level was high because of the rain so we couldn't do body rafting. Continuing journey to Pangandaran, found a very cheap hotel. 450K for a night in a big room with 3 bed. Got breakfast for 6 person. There was also hot water and air-con. So we bath and went out. After not satisfying lunch we went to see beach with white sands and the national park(?) also has caves. Actually can do snorkeling there but we didn't bring spare clothes so we just played a bit. I took two shells, one of them is pink but seems has no effect in my love life lol(I read too much shoujo manga, it's just myth after all pffft). Then we went back and bath again and by night we are having dinner in seafood restaurant nearby. Around 300K for 7 people with 5 different dishes.
March 16
Bath. Breakfast. Check out. Going to Green Canyon again to do body rafting. The water was not green yet (rain effect), but we do it anyway. It was really fun. I jumped off twice (from 3m and 6m high), told Yogi to jump first though haha. The rest can't swim, and the water current is quite strong (the men who guide us said that was weak but we're not used to it so..). Suci and Betty cried lol. There's an awkward moment though, when we finished body rafting. So we had to use 2 boats to get to the front. While waiting for my boat with Betty and Irvan, she said to Irvan "Kok kamu ga lompat kayak Cae. Cae aja berani." and I was there and silenced and Irvan changed the subject lol. Good thing the boat arrived shortly after. After body rafting we supposed to leave to Garut and spend the night there but we took too long to finish the course (5 hours, it supposed to be 3-4 hours) and it's almost night. So we went to Batu Karas, another beach, near Green Canyon. For hotel, we spent 325K/night/room and we book 3 rooms. Not expensive actually, but for a fresh-graduate who don't have much money, it was quite much. Apparently that beach has high waves so many foreigners went there to surf. There is also a surfing lesson offered, but I don't know how much, would like to try if I have chance to go there again. Eat at another seafood restaurant, the price is around the same.
March 17
Trying to catch the sunrise but there's fog, so it wasn't clear. The beach is clean and many little crabs going around. After breakfast we check out. Going to Garut by trying to find a good road but end up taking a further route. Found out the river we used for body raft already green but of course, not doing it again. Body rafting was so exhausting, we felt all of our body is aching. Can't stand up from sitting without saying 'ouch' haha. So at Garut, stopped by to buy chocolates (not me) and ate at Sundanese restaurant. Then we went home, but trapped with flood on our way to highway so we have to go around and stuff. Finally arrived at Yogi's at 12AM. Too late to go back so we spent the night there, going home/work by next morning.
Not as short as I thought eh. Pardon my grammar u.u;;;
