Told you I'll be back.
When it rains, it really does pour huh? Aside from the flood issue lately, it's raining job offers for me. The IT thing, then I heard MRA has an opening for a copywriter position, HiScope called me back (yeah, like I would go back teaching toddlers), Ditie called me and said there's an opening in Maverick the comicbook publisher or something, and Tisam just called me to offer a job--something to do with event organizing.
Except for Tisam's offering, none of them is a sure thing. But it would be fun to try, right?
My lorrrd! Omaygad, idle fingers are typing prone but I have nothing to type! I'll be back to smoking one of these days.
Bleuwgh.

this is how it works, you're young until you're not
Just three hours ago I signed my working contract with Wanita Indonesia. Yes, the tabloid I mentioned in my last entry. My tummy's churned, I'm committed.
Just three days ago I was sitting in an IT company's meeting room--up there on the 7th floor, with a big window and tall buildings as its view. And I was thinking about giving up my idealistic dream of working in a media, learning my brain out about IT and eLearning and such, and becoming a power-suit-wearing corporate slave. IF, they want to hire me.
However, that's bye-bye now. At least for the next 6 months.
I really hope this will go well. The last 2 days has been a nervous-fest for me. I have to socialize, and so far so good in that department. I work with an all-boys team, that's a plus. But there's this girl who looks like she won't look at my direction and I'm afraid she hates me. And another girl who looked at me funny when I said I wanted to make a cup of coffee just minutes ago. What?
O my. I start thinking too much.
My boss isn't here yet and it's almost lunch time now and I don't have anything to do. Crap. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the lazy days, if only I had someone to talk to. AND if only those girls I mentioned above didn't keep passing me by on their way to the kitchen.
*major sigh*
Maybe I'll be back in an hour or so.

i hear in my mind all this music and it breaks my heart
Happy belated Valentine's Day!
By the way, I spent the 14th with my ex. Hahahah. He invited me to go play at his house. And yes, like Nilam said, how very anak SD of him, ngajaknya main. It wasn't bad though, we talked, he curhat-ed about people and I gossiped about people, and I got to draw creatures and he said he'd put it on his wall... It wasn't bad, but it was somewhat weird and I kept on feeling like bolting out of there ASAP and seeing my friends.
Which I did. See my friends, I mean. Geng Suril plus Tisam and Nand's boyf got together for a while at Kansas. Too bad Nandia didn't stay that long because, I'm not sure, either a plan with her mom or a Valentine's day plan with boyfriend. But that's ok, namanya juga lagi anget-angetnya, ya gak? Anyway, I, NilSindTis went karaoke-ing later on. I've always thought karaokeing is fun, but what's even more fun is dancing the songs away! Eheheh.
So, yesterday was OK and yet, tiring.
As for today, I had to wake up early because I had this writing test and an interview for one of the local tabloids. This certain tabloid isn't really my thing, but I really have to have a job (let's not ever go back to those last seven words again) and I have to start somewhere. I hope I did well on the test and I hope I've dazzled the interviewer with my charm. Ahahah.
On my way home, the cab driver kept on making conversation that sometimes felt like a debate session and asking me questions about education, journalism, job fields, economy, local policemen, and our country basically, that required me twisting my brain out so that I could give the whatsoundedlike-best answers. Weird. And tiring. It felt like I was being interviewed twice today.
As for the random stuff:
Back then when the movie Moonlight Mile was playing on theaters, there was this song that was played during its trailer, and I never knew what song it was. I had checked the movie soundtracks and listened to each song, but I couldn't find it. One day, it was played at the Starbucks and I even pushed myself to ask the mas-mas Starbucks what song that was. But of course the stupid mas-mas didn't know. Anyvaaaay. Now, years later, I found out what song that was. It was Elton John's Someone Saved Me Tonight. Now that I've heard the whole song, I don't even like it that much, I just like the ending (the part they played for the movie trailer). But mygod, it's so satisfying to finally find out something like this. Next task, that "superglue" song, Dro.
Random things #2. I had a... sort of came-too-late crush. Ahah. See, there's this guy I know from campus. Back in the college days, I had noticed him, but there was always someone I liked better. So he was kind of forgotten. But lately I've been reminded of him again because of small stuff. Few days ago, when I was drowned in the word heartbroken, I checked out his friendster profile and found this on one of his who-I-want-to-meet list--more or less:
kamu yang hatinya patah dan gak tau mau dilem pake apa
Haw. Don't I just want to raise my hand.
Anywho. I've graduated, so has he, and it's a bit too late to even like this guy. So there'll be nothing out of this. Barely a crush.
Okie. Runi, out.

can you hear me? are you listening? this is the sound of my heart breaking
Here are some random thoughts:
- It's February already. Time flies, eh? There goes the 1/12 of this year already.
- Therefore, I'm going to stop lazing around. Yes, that's right. Right after writing this.
- I'm in love with Al Pacino's mugshot.
- Current top 3 favorite ice cream: Sushi Tei's, Ben and Jerry's, and Cold Rocks'. Me really wanna right now.
- Sasquatch is a funny word. I like it.
- It's that time of the month. When I want to rant, or cry, or wallow in something. And just like other females of the species I blamed PMS for it; but PMS stands for Pre-Menstruation Syndrome which should've been over once the menstruation started. And it didn't.
- And at time like this, there's nothing I want more than to put the puzzle pieces together and I don't know, recollect my soul? But recollecting the puzzle pieces together is haaarrrd. And it's sad. It shouldn't be this hard. Not with us. But it is. Ugh.
- Speaking of sad, did you watch--I believe his name is--Sherman Poe on the American Idol audition? The old guy who sang You Belong To Me? Touching, touching, touching. Gimme my very own Sherman Poe!
Nyeh. Contrary to what I wrote in my curriculum vitae, I can't compose a distinctive piece of writing.
Toodles.

save me from feeling numb
