Thankful

Dear God,
I want to thank You
for mom, dad, and my sister,
for all my families,
for all my friends,
for everyone I love,
who are still here with me.

Thank You to remind me to be thankful,
for all the things You've given,
the blesses and the pain,
the happiness and sorrow,
the tears and laughing,
the love: to love and being love.

People in the Bus

I don't know whether you notice,
if you use the public transportation every day at a particular time, take the same bus to your office for example, you will meet almost the same people. The same passenger, even the same driver. You will also remember from which bus stop they will get in, on which bus stop they will go out.
And this is a story about some of them.

A Japanese lady, her name is Ms Tanaka. I guess she's around 40s. She likes to wear skirt, eventhough the weather is very cold. Dunno why. I will write about her later in separate posting.

A quite good-looking man with glasses, who always bring a backpack that has key chain with small teady bear.

A tennage boy with a long hair, age between 12-17, who often wears t-shirt with tie, and suit.

A beard man who likes to listen to techno music (in the morning!) through his mp3 player earphone loudly (if the bus driver doesn't remind him, other people who are sitting near him can also listen to his music clearly..)

Some tennage boys who often brings luggages or big and heavy bags to their school.. Until now I'm still wondering what actually they bring.. (perhaps next time I will ask one of them)

A lady, German I guess, age between 30-40, who pays attention a lot to her hair style, and seems to like wearing sexy clothes.

Another lady, age 20-30, who always looks stylish. I like to see this lady. Her make up and hair is normal (or almost nothing), but the way she dresses is very chic. Perhaps it's also because of her Louis Vitton bag :)
But I think it's not only because of that.

A lady again, age 40s, who likes to wear shiny red lipstick.

An Indian or Pakistan man, who likes to listen to his music loudly through his earphone (the music is like dangdut, or Indian music but with some techno music sound in it).

Hmm.. who else..
Aha, a lady, she's a bit fat but from my opinion, she looks beautiful! :) Dunno why, everytime I see her face, it looks beautiful and happy. I bet also she's a nice person.
Sometimes you can easily see other people look beautiful eventhough if you compare them to super models, they're nothing.. Don't know why..

Nikolaus Tag

December 6 is St Nicolaus day here in Germany. This is the day where the children will get Nikolaus schokolade or some sweets from Nikolaus in their shoes.

This morning when I was about to leave the house, I was surprised to see this Nikolaus in my shoe! :>

I didn't remember that today is Nikolaus tag, and Katrin has put this chocolate for me... :D So sweet... :p She wrote: Liebe Yuliana, Alles Gute vom Nikolaus.. =)

And...

when I arrived at the office this morning, Regina sent us email and told that she brings Nikolaus muffins for all of us! woowww.. yummi yummi.. lekker..

Aku dan Bis Kota - 1

This is the story about me and the buses;

what it has done to me, how it successfully influenced my life, and other unimportant things about it.

One posting = one bus, due to my laziness :)

Bus No 1: Metromini no 78

Route: Blok M - Cidodol

About it:

It's the one and only direct bus from South of Jakarta - Central Bus Station (a.k.a Terminal Blok M) to my house, or vice versa. Cidodol traditional market (or Pasar Inpres Cidodol) is the last stop for this bus. Since the route is not a wet route -rute basah maksudnya- (where there are not so many people like to take this bus), so there are only a few buses available. Last time I remember, I think there are only 3 or 4 buses. Most of them were in not-so-good condition. Therefore also, often I had to wait for at least half an hour before this bus finally shown up..

I took this bus oftenly when:

I was in high school. This time, waiting for the bus was normal activity and I didn't think it's wasting time. With some friends (that also take the same bus), I waited near the traffic light or in Blok M station. A lot of things we did during waiting fot this bus: Gossiping, hahahihi, curhat, studying, reading, and even trying to open another's mouth about something she doesn't want to talk about.. :p

I remember one day when I was waiting for the bus with Winny, she really tried everything to make me said who's the boy I like.. haha.. :D That day was so funny.. at the end I gave up; I told her about the boy, and asked her not to tell anybody :P Somehow I saw her looked happier than I, when she knew that I could have a crush on someone.. (I could read her mind like this: "woww.. this cool-alien-no expression girl can fall in love!!" hehehe.. :p)

Now I miss those days.. I miss her also..

What this bus has done:

- made me have a sharp eyesight. I could recognize this bus from a distance (at least 100 m) when the bus entering the queue on bus station.

- made us (me and other 3 girlfriends) saw for the first time (well, at least for me) how's the real look of an adult man's penis! what an unforgettable memory you b!?t*?§ man has given to us..

- made me really hate of students stupid fighting (a.k.a tawuran).. cause once I experienced how's being in the middle of students fighting when I was in that bus.. It's scary man..

Now I don't know whether this bus still exists. I will check it next week ;)
