Internship

A word, that suddenly came out of mind mind this afternoon is "internship". Yes, but I don't really know why.

As I remembered, I did internship twice. To act like a teacher for elementary school students for three months and also front desk agent in a three star hotel for three months too. It's funny how I chose that two internships when now I end up being an editor of a lifestyle magazine in this paradise island. I'm lucky, maybe? More than that..

Wait, so what's the point now? To be honest, I am in my boredom now. I just stared on my intern at my office and knew how she felt too. Don't force me for not giving her too much jobs, well.. it's kinda difficult to be explained, um.. okay forget then.

I just want to smile, remembering the good and bad things I did in my past.

Internship 1: English Teacher

I was a tutor, English tutor. I started to be a tutor, joined a education institution in my 4th semester. To early? Well, I was that 'smart' enough to teach children how to do proper English that time. Then.. when almost all of my friend chose to do an internship in Tourist Information Center, I chose to do what I am expert in; teaching. I can make syllabus, I can stand in front of the class being a center of attention, I can make them stare at me. I don't know why I was that awesome. Hahaha.

Three months. Well, not really three months. I taught three class a week for three months in an elementary school near Palace complex in my hometown, Yogyakarta. It was an awesome experience. Even now, I can still hear their voice greeting my name; "Good morning, Miss Tiara!" God, it seems like I miss to be the center of attention and receive a lot of attention now. Ups!

Internship 2: Front Desk Agent

I thought hospitality industry was a big industry that keeps growing anyway, and yes it is. That's the only reason why I let myself to 'try' and 'feel' the hospitality atmosphere. I am good in English, at least compared to my friends that time. I can speak and listen well, so humble and nice to everyone, then the hotel where I put my CV let me join in Front Office Department.

It was one of the hardest three months in my university life. I learnt all the stuffs from filling document, online and phone reservation, hotel system, too many stuffs! Regret? Not at all. At least I know how it feels to work in hospitality industry, so then later on when I want to come back I know how to handle it well. In the first two weeks I wanted to give up, but there are two people who keeps me stay. One of them is myself, who keeps telling myself that I can do anything, to finish what I already started. Well, I guess I learn how to terribly survive from my second internship then. How, naif.


Now, I am not an intern anymore. I met some interns under my supervise in this office since a year ago; Annelies from Groningen, Saras and Karin from Bandung, Amy from Utrecht, and now Nikki also from Groningen. I hope I gave them enough good things to learn for their lives.

One Direction & Justin Bieber LOL-Cover - Masketta Fall

Hahaha, that video above is so much lol. When you get bored, just check it, y'll happy again! Lalala~

allergic oh allergic

hallo, long time no write!

hahaha, maaf selama dua bulan kemarin banyak acara, sedang sibuk dunia akhirat, dan lagi males banget nulis! aku kan masih moody, hahaha :) *bangga* *gak penting*

okay, sebenernya ini (masih) rada gak penting buat di post kan, tapi hari ini daripada gak ada kerjaan (yang sedikit bermanfaat) mari kita menulis, lalalala~

beberapa hari yang lalu, ada perayaan tahun baru..

oh iya! happy new year!! -interupsi, hihi

bukan tentang tahun baru yang mau aku tulis. but what behind it, haha sama apa beda sih? >.<

malam tahun baru kemarin adalah malam tahun baru yang sedikit absurd. ha, lebai. gak ada acara ke luar kota seperti malam malam tahun baru sebelumnya. jadi, bertahanlah manusia ini di Jogja, dengan tidak banyak pilihan tempat untuk dikunjungi. atau aku aja ya yang udik gak tau spot spot yang hore? LOL

aku akhirnya pergi ke Area Nol Kilometer, disana tiap tahun baru ada perayaan tahun baru pake kembang api! hoaa, pulang dari sana sekitar jam dua pagi. udara panas, ralat: panaaas! sisa berjubel dengan ratusan manusia lain yang sama-sama tidak tahu dirinya denganku yang hobi dorong dan senggol sana sini. sampai di rumah buru-buru tepar, tidur sampai siang, sekitar jam sepuluh. bangun tidur, langsung disambut dengan teriknya matahari dan omelan meme (panggilan untuk Ibu) yang lebih terdengar seperti lagu. ya, lagu sumbang yang kadang membuat rindu, halah :)

cuaca di Jogja lagi gak hore. karena lepas jam dua siang langsung hujan deres disini. aku baru sempet mandi jam tujuh malam. *hahaha! dingin banget, dan kalian tau apa?? seluruh badan mendadak muncul bentol-bentol merah mengerikan. selama sekitar lima detik sih aku mikir kalo aku lagi kena malaria. dan sedetik berikutnya aku sadar. dem, aku kena alergi! ya, alergi udara dingin bok.

aku memang punya beberapa alergi; alergi udang, alergi debu, alergi dingin, alergi gondes, dan alergi mendes. oh plis, semuanya bisa dihindari, kecuali ya si udara dingin ini. sial kan, kalo tiap perubahan cuaca yang mendadak ditambah kondisi badan lagi gak fit, bakal berujung ke alergi. tanggal dua alergi tambah parah, padahal tiap enam jam sudah telen obat yang judulnya ctm. haha akhirnya aku ke dokter. sama si dokter diberi bebrapa tablet cantik, dan sejenis bedak. oke nurut deh yang penting sembuh. tapi obatnya gak mempan, hoaa makin frustasi aku curhat ke beberapa temen. salah satu temen nyuruh aku minum air kelapa muda. haha, apa hubungannya? walo sedikit gak percaya, akhirnya aku bilang ke meme. meme buru nyari kelapa muda, airnya dicampur sama beberapa biji cengkeh selama kurang lebih 30 menit, baru diminum. rasanya? gak enak! jauuuh lebih enak es klamud, you know. menu minuman itu aku minum selama tiga hari. viola! ajaibnya alerginya berkurang dan sekarang sudah sembuuuh. hahaha! bekas bentol, terutama yang di jari jari tangan sih emang gak bisa hilang sekejab. at least, paha, punggung, dan pipi ini gak gatel lagi. uh, alergi, jauh jauh deh! haha

alergi udara dingin, ato istilah kerennya allergic rhinitis, ini memang sangat merepotkan, terutama untuk kita yang hobi jelajah dan punya kondisi badan yang gak konstan. waktu pelajaran biologi beberapa tahun yang lalu, seingatku sih, pernah dijelaskan kalo alergi ato hipersensetif sendiri adalah bentuk kegagalan sistem kekebalan tubuh kita. gejala alergi sendiri mirip dengan flu; bersin-bersin, hidung tersumbat, tenggorokan gatal, mata berair, dan pilek. kalo kita positif alergi dingi, tenggorokan kita gak cuma gatal, tapi juga terasa sakit. kita juga gak bisa dengan ajaibnya sembuh, seperti sedang menderita gejala flu, kalo kita masih terpapar udara dingin. selain itu, alergi udara dingin juga menimbulkan bentol-bentol pada kulit. aku lupa istilah kerennya apa, tapi boleh dibilang sejenis biduran, hehe.

sebagai penderita alergi dingin, aku mau share beberapa tip menghindari alergi. (walo sebenernya aku sendiri juga masih lupa diri urusan tips ini)

• jauh jauh dari si alergen, ato udara dingin itu sendiri. misal lagi ke daerah dingin, pake pakaian tebel, kumur-kumur pake air hangat. pake syal, agar tenggorokan tetap hangat. kalo gak ada? ya sudah..
• yang alerginya disertai biduran, oles bedak dingin atau lotion yang punya bahan calamine dan anti histamin. dokter aku bilangnya begitu sih.
• mandi dan minum lah hanya dengan air hangat. es campur, es krim, es klamud? lupakan dulu deh..
• kalau mau obat tradisional, pake air kelapa muda ditambah beberapa biji cengkeh juga boleh. inget, cengkehnya gak perlu ikutan ditelen loh!

• dan nasehat klasik yang biasa keluar dari si pacar (kalo punya), "istirahatlah yang cukup!"

hahaha, sekian. aku sudah capek menulis. see you in another page.

The-poems-that-should-be-analyzed

Last Tuesday, I joined Poetry Explication class. My nice-nanana-lecturer gave us a poem from Robert Browning, and asked us to find the imagery. Hoo, I guess I am not imaginative enough to do it. Hhh, unfortunately I have to. -_______-

Meeting at Night

by Robert Browning (1812-1889)

The gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

 

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!

Have you found the imagery of that poem, Heem? Okay, of course yes. My lecturer has told me in the class. Hahaha -___________-

Oiyap, I have an assignment to find the other poems to be analyzed. Parting at Morning by Robert Browning and The Sick Rose by William Blake. Here they are...

Parting at Morning

by Robert Browning (1812-1889)

Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,
And the sun looked over the mountain's rim:
And straight was a path of gold for him,
And the need of a world of men for me.

The Sick Rose

by William Blake (1757-1827)

O rose, thou art sick!
     The invisible worm,
That flies in the night,
     In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed
     Of crimson joy,
And his dark secret love
     Does thy life destroy.

Umm, anyway..is it important to post this matter, Tiara?? Hahaha

Classical Novel Analyses, Ups!

Hmmm..hmm..hmm..

Today is my first day in the Classical Novel Analyses class. And do you know what I'm thinking? WHOAAAA! Yes, I don't even describe it. Stupid.  -_____- I have to take this one, so that I can take the Contemporary Novel Analyses class in the next semester. Don't you hate that fact, Tiara? Yes, Oh No! Oh Yes!

I loveee reading so much. Hm, okay, not that much. But if I have to choose between reading or writing, I'll choose reading! I have read some novels--as I remember--in this four months. Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote,  Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy, India and Indonesia by Elizabeth Gilbert, Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, and The Amateur Marriage by Anne Tyler! Frankly, the last two novels haven't finished yet. HAHA, remember, I'm a moody person uyeeee.

And by the class I have taken for this semester, I have to read two more novels that are given by my-nice-rather-killer-lecturer. They are The Canterville Ghost by Oscar Wilde and The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. And of course analyze some aspects. Amazing! It will be a long semester, but i know I can pass it well. As always, amieeen my Lord..

:-D

Hmm, mad day! Good day! Good evening! And see you in the next curcol anyway

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Viola!

Hap.. hap.. hap.. :D

Hello there! Hurray, it's my new blog!

Gak nyangka sih hari ini aku lagi niat banget buat ketik-ketik. Waw, sesuatu banget looh buat orang yang gak hobi nulis kayak aku ini, hehe.. Frankly, aku lagi banyak kerjaan, tapi masih cukup selo buat sekedar nyampah di halaman pertama blog keempatku ini. Fuih,antara harus bales email ke Mr. Heine, kirim beberapa email penting lain ke beberapa orang penting lain dengan lampiran yang gak nyante, dan harus cari plus download beberapa informasi sangat mendesak untuk koleksi pribadi. Hahaha, maap sedikit ngelantur :D

Yes, it's not my first blog anyway. Hey everybody knows, except you perhaps :p Flashback sedikit, blog pertama aku udah ada sejak aku kelas 3 SMA, empat tahun lalu. Blog pribadi, semacam diary remaja galau yang masih polos gitu lah. Sebenernya pingin aku deaktip aja sekalian, tapi toh sudah lenyap. Lenyap dari otak bagian penyimpanan alamat-alamat penting. Aku udah lupa nama blognya apa dan pake alamat email yang mana, dan passwordnya..apalagi!

Blog kedua yang aku buat adalah blog khusus melengkapai tugas kuliah, entahlah di semester dua atau tiga. Dan lagi, aku udah keburu lupa itu pake alamat email yang mana dan passwordnya apa. Heran, apa coba yang bisa bertahan lama di otakku ini selain memori-memori tidak begitu menyenangkan *miris -____- Kalo blog yang ketiga, um..itu sih blog bersama! Isinya cuma postingan beberapa informasi barang dagangan aku dan seorang sahabat, Nca, yang waktu itu lagi kerasukan setan pedagang dari arab, India sama Cina, hehehe :D

And this is it! My fourth blog! Mengingat aku ini orang yang gak hobi nulis dan (sangaaat) moody, semoga aja tiap selo aku selalu dapet inspirasi buat nyampah di blogger. Hahaha, yahh sudahlah sodara-soadara seplanet bumi ria, daripada penyakit lama kumat, Tirr mau pamit duyuyaaa. See you soon! *Brb
