mungil
Memekik sensasi demi sensasi
Huah, menyenangkan! Bahkan euphorianya masih sampai saat ini
Untuk mungilku yang meletup-letup
di bawah sana,
I will always be the virgin-prostitute, the perverse angel, the two-faced sinister and saintly woman ... Life is not rational; it is just mad and full of pain. Do not seek the because - in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions. You are a sexual angel, but you're an angel just the same. You are a narcissist. That is the raison d'etre of the journal. Journal writing is a disease. But it's all right. It's very interesting. - Anais Nin

Tired of having most my closest people complaining about my lousy long hours job, I've been trying to find a new one. Loads of reporter/writer vacancies out there in the jungle, but nothing appeal me yet. Vacancy for reporter on an unknown business magazine, urgently needed senior editor for another uninteresting economy and business publication, a dated cutting edge politics reporters vacancy, a vacancy for an interesting daily newspaper which (unfortunately) based in Pontianak, another fashion editor vacancy for a so called celebrated lifestyle magazine which want their employee to have a play-hard-party-hard cultura, vacancy for reporter for a poor written daily online media, vacant position in the post of reporter in a so-called “ABG” magazine, and so on... I stopped until I finally tired of searching the web.
Giving it a second thought of what I have now, despite its lousy working system, it’s actually a good start for me. First of all, the working area is very very well-located! For such a laid-back person like me, no other place is a better place to work than Kemang! Browsing all the journalism vacancies in the net, all I can find are vacancies around Sudirman, Mampang, Kuningan, Rasuna, etc. They are actually okay, but giving it a thought, Kemang is much, MUCH, a better place to work More importantly, as in the matter of what to be written in the media, it is exactly what I have been looking for all my life: writing about travel and culture.
And yes, beyond of all that, the networking is amazing! A meeting with Soendari Soekotjo, a long hour chit-chat with Putu Wijaya, and soon to be arranged_ in depth interview with the reason why I wannabe a writer: Ayu Utami…
Yes, every job is a two-sided-coin. Instead of dreaming to get a better one, trying to steal a piece of neighbour’s greener grass, I’ll start to look at the good side of the coin. (At least until I really REALLY find a better one, like the one I just found recently which _unfortunately_ has no vacant position. It’ll be no harm to send a resume and sample writings while waiting, isn’t it?)

So you're born rich. You live in Menteng but you also got an abandoned house in PI. Oyeah, not to mention those apartements. Your ma and pa sent you off to prestigious school abroad. You got your BA in business. Your ma and pa gave plenty of money to make your own business. You drive silver Porsche and a black Jag_ oh but it's only for special occasion, you said. Normally you drive normal cars like Nissan and Honda. But still, it's not normal when you have that many options for cars (I hate it when imagining you saying to yourself: "hari ini pake mobil yang mana yhaa?")
But well, you can't choose your parents, you can't choose to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth just like everybody else. But luckily, you were born with it. My mom and dad raised me telling me that money is something awfully hard to get. My mom and dad taught me that money makes people kill each other, yet we all need it.
And I got this theory that one's mind are always constructed from one's lifestyle and environment, ever since one is born and raised and become a real adult in the society.
So, a girl like me will never understand what you feel about being you for I am not born in such a family like yours. You might be desperate, you might be depressed, you might be…obsessed.
You might be rich for money but you might be poor for something else.
Likewise, you’ll never know how it feels, when you’re starving but there’s only a “goceng” in your pocket. You’ll never know how extremely humiliating it feels to have a loan of cash from a friend.
And guys like you owe something to guys like us. We work our ass off for you. And when you promised it’s the time for you to pay whatever services we’ve done for you, make sure it’s in the REAL respective amount and make sure you pay us ON TIME.
