this precious friendship
never in my life, I met someone who knows me better than myself. well, except my parents. they always know whenever I don’t feel comfortable with my situation.
I have some best friends whom I knew during my period of study. even, I’ve known one of my best friends for more than 10 years. yet, she doesn’t really know me. the problem is, I’m a kind of introvert person. I...
Positive Outlooks: Moving Forward →
positive-outlooks:
Oh the things that I have feared: Fear of rejection. Fear of failure. Fear of humiliation. Fear is such a powerful thing.
Don’t allow it to rule your life. We miss out on so many wonderful opportunities, So many pleasures in life.
What is there to truly be afraid of? If it does not…

Friend (A) : So Ella, you really like those guys, aren't you?

Hugh Jackman vs Hugh Grant
Friend 1 (A) : Oh how I really like Hugh Jackman. He's a really great actor.
Me (E) : Who the hell is Hugh Jackman? Hey, A! We surely come from different generation.
Friend 2 (N) : D'oh, Ella?!? Hugh Jackman is definitely from our generation. Even I KNOW him. You didn't watch X-Men?!? Oh how sad is your life, La!
A : ya..ya..ya. You have to watch his movies, Ella. He's hilarious
E : ehm..I don't think I will
N : Did he play in any romantic comedy movie?
A : No, I guess
N : Then, it's normal if Ella doesn't know him.
E : well, at least I know Hugh Grant. hahahaha.
A : Hugh Grant, huh?!?

Maundy Thursday
atau bahasa Indonesia-nya “Kamis Putih”. tadi gw ke gereja ikut misa jam 7.30 pm. ada sedikit rasa sedih karena umatnya sedikit sekali, dan sebagian besar adalah orang-orang tua. kemana anak-anak mudanya? clubbing, lah.
di saat-saat kayak gini, gw kangen ngerayain Paskah di Indonesia. ke gereja bareng sekeluarga.
eh bukan berarti gw kangen Indo yaaaa. gw seneng kok di sini. :)

I was rather surprised
My cospv (S) : (out of a sudden, before checking my cells a.k.a my "babies") Hey, Gabriella. Are you going home this Easter?
Me (E) : No. I'll be around during the holiday.
S : You're not planning to go anywhere?
E : No. I just wanna stay at home. hehehe.
S : Have you ever been to Lake District?
E : no. Actually some of my friends went there a few weeks ago. But I didn't join them, since I wasn't in the mood of going anywhere.
S : It's a really good place. You should try sometimes!
E : yeah, I know. maybe someday, I'll visit there. it's quite far though from here.
S : yeah....a couple of hours.
that was the first time my cospv asked me about something other than the research stuffs. I was a little bit surprised, to be honest. hahaha.
