Suatu siang di kelas Postmodernisme
Romo: Ya jadi sekian pengantar dari saya mengenai pemikiran-pemikiran Baudrillard. Sekarang tinggal terserah Anda mau mengaplikasikannya untuk tesis Anda nanti. Bisa tentang iklan, bisa fenomena konsumsi yang lain. Silahkan, bisa kita diskusikan sekarang mumpung masih ada waktu setengah jam.
Nnisa: Bisa kita bahas di bilik pengakuan dosa aja, Mo? (Malu, belum nemu topik.)
Buru-buru amat sih orang-orang?

Nigella's #1: Chicken Teriyaki
Ever since I got the book, I desperately wanted to try most of those recipes. So, when all my assignments done, and final exam isn't started yet, today's the right day to start my mission: Nigella's Recipes My Way.
Chicken Teriyaki was the right choice. It's everyone's favorite, easy, and fast. You can find her original recipe here, but because this mission is called "my way", so I made several changes on the ingredients list.
These are my ingredients..
325 grams of chicken fillet
1/4 cup of Korean cooking wine
1/4 cup of soy sauce
3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 onion, sliced
1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger root
2 1/2 tablespoons of brown sugar
splash of sesame oil
...and for the steps, you can follow her's like I did.
So, how was it?
So goooood!!
You may ask my family members if you don't believe me, hahahahaha..

Crap!
This past week, I feel helpless. Every time I get into this place I feel so angry and depressed. I am no longer enjoying myself being here with them. Crap. Crap. Crap.
I need vacation!

My attempts at being a domestic goddess
Last Sunday, I spent hours flipping pages and pages of Nigella Kitchen book. I stared at almost every single picture and imagined how delicious they'd be. I was so excited to go back to the kitchen and try some of these recipes out. I even marked some with index flags divided by 3 categories.
The first category refers to easy recipes (savory ones) that suitable for those who don't have serious pallet, the ones who are picky-eaters like most of my family members and Y himself. The second category refers to sweet stuff I'd like to try, including Nigella's legendary chocolate chips cookies and devil's cake. And the third category refers to recipes for myself just because those strange recipes are tempting!
So, this is my mission. To try her recipes with my own interpretation (and adaptation). That's why I called: Nigella's Recipes My Way.
Y will be so proud of me! nyahahahahahaha...

I am twenty-five and ready to embrace a new life!
How did I spend my birthday? I spent it awesomely!
It starts, exactly like last year, minus the not-knowing-that-he's-coming-at 0'clock, Y was the first one who greeted exactly at 0'clock with a present. Actually, we spent Saturday together (like our usual Saturdate) at home. He then went off at 11 p.m and left me knowing he'd be back in at 0'clock. And yes, he did. He came to my house again with this huge (and heavy) plastic bag.
He got me a copy of Nigella Kitchen! To make it very special and very personal, he made the jacket himself!! Woooohooooo!!! He totally got it when we visited a bookstore and found this one available and I was just starring (and drooling at the same time. I LOVE YOU!! :*
In the evening, (almost too late to call it evening :P), the whole family gathered (including Y and the newest member of the family - baby Darryl), had dinner and our usual humble candle-blowing ceremony. Something else also made me head over heels but I'm not going spill everything out now :D
On Monday, my friend Etta greeted me and gave the present ecstatically. Frankly saying, I knew she got me this present like 3 weeks ago, but she kept it until the right time. She got me this Lego watch, which, I remembered telling her in our earliest conversation that I would love to have one *BIG GRIN*
The blissfulness of my birthday didn't stop there. On Tuesday, I arranged an afternoon pizza party for my dearest work-mates. Since we are know working at two different buildings, I was so happy having them around and sharing laughter like we used to.
To sum up, I WAS SO HAPPY! (I even still feel the great happiness up until when I write this!) I'm so blessed with everything and everyone. Being 25 made me realize that now my life is really in my hand. So, whatever may come, and whatever may change, I'm ready, 'cause I'm 25 and old enough to say that I will live my own life gracefully :)

The unknown future
This morning I visited someone's blog, someone I know from college. She is now a managing editor in Jakarta's most prestigious teenage magazine. She started her career 4 years ago as an intern and ta-daaa.. look at her now.
I hate to say this, but I really envy her career path and it makes me looking even worst. I know, I started my career 2 years later than her, but hey... she got it right, while I did not. Well, what can you expect here. I can't even declare my self that I am this big-brand's copywriter. Maybe if there's such thing as a typewriter, I'll be it. The one who types, not the one who writes. I've been here for two years and nothing really has changed. Even though if I stay for another couple more years, I will still be the typewriter. No future I see. None.
I love this place, I love my friends, and just like her, I don't worry about the 'number'. That's why I stay. But then, I got this big opportunity to pursue master degree while working. Trust me, juggling two lives, as a student and as a employee, is not easy. Also, I have to be very thankful that my bosses and my colleagues are very supportive to me. So why envy her in the first place? I wasn't so sure.
Until the superego of mine whispered, "It's just a feeling of insecurity and fear of the unknown future."
"But, I want to be successful like her. I want to have a bright career!" I argued.
The superego smiled and whispered again. "You will, darling. You will and it will be as bright as hers, even more, I reckon."
I paused a minute and told her again, "Does it mean that I have to move from here? Or does it mean that I have to stick to the plan, wait for a year or so?"
"Something will lead you, girl. Just be faithful, and you'll be awesome!"
Will I?
