” memang.. tampang tidak (selalu) berbanding lurus dengan kemampuan otak “
( Heboh-heboh soal Miss Universe 2006 – kontestan dari Indonesia, wait.. wait.. Indonesia??!! Oh.. NO! another dramatic history-kah??? )
Jawaban-jawaban Nadine Chandrawinata pada sesi interview Miss Universe 2006, cukup mengejutkan saya yang juga notabene adalah salah satu “Putri Indonesia” -secara kita semua putri-putri bangsa Indonesia, bukan? Cukupkah seorang Nadine Chandrawinata mewakili kita sebagai salah satu Putri Indonesia di ajang pemilihan ratu sejagat raya? I’m sure, we didn’t send (just) an ordinary person to represent the whole nation kan? Jadi apakah hasil interview tersebut, merupakan salah satu bentuk minimnya persiapan (but i don’t think so!) atau memang “begitulah” kemampuan seorang Nadine Chandrawinata, atau malah merupakan suatu bentuk usaha untuk mendongkrak popularitas dikalangan miss-miss-an seluruh dunia?!
Tak ada yang tau’.. Tak bisa diterka..
Meskipun saya memang bukan orang yang tepat untuk menghakimi seseorang itu baik atau buruk.. benar ataupun salah.. Tetapi ketika seseorang dipercaya untuk membawa nama (baik, tentu!) atau gambaran utuh seorang Putri (dari) Indonesia, ada baiknya tugas yang (sangat-sangat) berat tersebut diemban sebaik-baiknya dan dipersiapkan secara matang baik dari segi wawasannya, kendala bahasanya, sikap serta perilakunya. Karena yang saya inginkan adalah potret Putri Indonesia itu digambarkan sebagai wanita pintar, berwawasan luas, tingkah laku tiada cela dan tentu saja menarik. Bisakah??

does it means something?

You entered: ryane

There are 5 letters in your name.
Those 5 letters total to 27
There are 2 vowels and 3 consonants in your name.

Your number is: 9

The characteristics of #9 are: Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.

The expression or destiny for #9:
The expression that you exhibit is represented bythe number 9. Your talents center in humanistic interests and approaches. You like to help others as you were intended to be the ‘big brother or big sister’ type. You operate best when you follow your feelings and sense of compassion, and allow yourself to be sensitive to the needs of others. You work well with people, and have the potential to inspire. This suggests that you could successfully teach or counsel. Creative ability, imagination and artistic talent (often latent) of the highest order are present in this expression. It’s possible that you’re not using or developing all of these capabilities at this time. Some of your talents may have been used at an earlier time in your life, and some may still be latent. Be aware of your capabilities, so that you can make use of them at appropriate times.

If you are able to achieve the potential of your natural expression in this life, you are capable of much human understanding and have a lot to give to others. Your personal ambitions are likely to be maintained in a very positive perspective, never losing sight of an interest in people, and a sympathetic, tolerant, broad-minded and compassionate point of view. You are quite idealistic, and disappointed at the lack of perfection in the world. You have a strong awareness of your own feeling as well as those of others. Friendships, affection, and love are extremely important.

Undeveloped or ignored, the negative side of the 9 expression can be very selfish and self-centered. If you do not actively involve yourself with work that benefits others, you may tend to express just the opposite characteristics. It is your role to be very involved with other people and their needs, but it may be difficult for you achieve this role. Aloofness, lack of involvement, and a lack of sensitivity mark the low road of this expression.

Your Soul Urge number is: 6

A Soul Urge number of 6 means:
With a number 6 Soul Urge, you would like to be appreciated for your ability to handle responsibility. Your home and family are likely to be a strong focus for you, perhaps the strongest focus of your life. Friendship, love, and affection are high on your list of priorities for a happy life. You have a lot of diplomatic tendencies in your makeup, as you a able to rectify and balance situations with an innate skill. You like working with people rather than by yourself. It is extremely important for you to have harmony in your environment at all times.

The positive side of the 6 Soul Urge produces a huge capacity for responsibility; you are always there and ready to assume more than your share of the load. If you possess positive 6 Soul Urges and express them, you are known for your generosity, understanding and deep sympathetic attitude. Strong 6 energy is very giving of love, affection, and emotional support. You may have the inclination to teach or serve your community in other idealistic ways. You have natural abilities to help people. You are also likely to have artistic and creative leanings.

If you have an over-supply of 6 energy in your makeup, you may express some of the negative traits common to this number. With such a strong sympathetic attitude, it is easy to become too emotional. Sometimes the desires to render help can be over done, and it can become interfering and an attitude that is too protective, rather than helpful. The person with too much 6 energy often finds that people tend to take advantage of this very giving spirit. You may tend to repress your own needs so that you can cater to the demands from others. At times, there may be a tendency in this, for becoming over-loaded with such demands, and as a result become resentful.

Your Inner Dream number is: 3

An Inner Dream number of 3 means:
You dream of artistic expression; writing, painting, music. You would seek to more freely express your inner feeling and obtain more enjoyment from life. You also dream of being more popular, likable, and appreciated.

foot-note:

9 ; 6 ; 3

Wow! what a coincidences?! my own house number H3-3 (H, has 3 lines) it almost two years ago; my phone cell number **** 33633993, i’m using this number since a year ago. So it happens before i found this site. Hmm… any explanations about this?

from now on, i am si-kutu-loncat

Posted by: ryane   
June 22nd,
2006

damned! i’ve wait for two and half hours.

eh eh.. saya belum cerita ya? beberapa minggu ini kan, saya mulai terkontaminasi untuk berubah bentuk (berubahh!!!) menjadi kutu loncat (yang canggih, pintar, cantik serta beken! halahhhh) ;D seperti yang dilakukan beberapa temans saya (Han, Ka! tanggung jawab lo semua! hee..).
Secara, demi perkembangan diri, demi mencari suasana segar diluar, demi perolehan gaji yang (lebih dari sekedar) cukup, demi penghargaan sebagai manusia.. akhirnya saya memilih mencoba-coba menjadi kutu loncat.
Pengenalan saya sebagai kutu loncat dimulai dari mencari-cari lowongan (yah lowongan kerja, emang apalagi hah?!) cari sana-cari sini, koran lokal, koran nasional, beberapa relasi, temans, dll, saya karyakan. Akhirnya terpilih beberapa perusahaan calon tempat penampungan saya sebagai kutu loncat. Setelahnya mulailah saya kirim-mengirim resume. Ohh okey, sekian lama waktu (yg namanya nunggu, meski sehari rasanya lamaaaa tau’) eh ada panggilan (panggilan test sodara! emang panggilan apa lagi heh?!).
Baiklah: dimulai dengan Wow! dari namanya perusahaan minyak bo’, 100% PMA.. you know.. joining oil & gas coy will always be a very berry good opportunities.. maka, ber-Hore-lah saya! namun kemudian ternyata, hihihi minyak kelapa sawit hehehehe.. ahh okey lah, selagi bukan minyak gosok ini, yah sudahlah (mengutip advice si-siput-liliput-merumput).
Tes pertama, psiko-test (masih musim ya? selalu deh.. bosen) yang jd soal-nya begitu-begitu juga kan? hitung-menghitung angka dari bawah keatas, bentuk test kepribadian -apakah a-kamu begini atau b-kamu begitu, ini bukan soal benar atau salah jd isi saja sesuai dengan diri kamu, test lainnya yah ketelitian -padu padan lembar soal dengan lembar jawaban dan test logika serta berhitung matematika dasar, males-males-dikerjain-juga-sepenuh-hati. Then, all test done.
Sekian waktu berlalu, tanggal terus berganti, cuaca terus berubah dari hujan-panas terik-mendung sampai ke hujan lagi, i’ve got a call then. Ok, can you come? we will make an interview related the job that you’ve applied. EXECUTIVE SECRETARY. Pada hari yang telah ditentukan, waktu dan tempat dipersilahkan, saya datang dengan riang gembira (seperti biasa lah, saya memang selalu begitu kan??). Tepat waktu -on time, buat saya adalah IT A MUST, suatu keharusan, bentuk sebuah komitmen dan profesionalisme. Tapi apa daya, jadwal yang telah ditentukan molorrr sampe sekurang-kurangnya 1 jam (mau marah rasanya hati ini). Kepercayaan diri serta excitement yang saya bawa tadi pagi dari rumah, terbang.. hilang entah kemana. Yang bisa kalian lihat kemudian adalah seseorang berbeda. lusuh. lemas. meskipun tampak raut wajah kenceng (bukan! bukan karena face-lifted, tetapi lebih karena menahan amarah yg hampir mencapai ubun-ubun), dari sekian orang calon yang akan di-interview, akhirnya tiba juga jatah saya untuk di-interview dengan mereka.
oh wait! MEREKA???!!!
Iya, mereka. Udah berasa sidang tugas akhir aja deh. Ga tanggung-tanggung 3 orang -orang asing, meski masih seputaran Asia, tapi buat saya tetap -orang asing. Karena, mereka -orang asing itu, punya pandangan atau pemikiran sendiri tentang stereotype orang/ pekerja dari Indonesia. Meremehkan? yah denger-denger sih sedikit begituuu.. But i’ve to fight them! kepalang tanggung! hantam sajalah!
3 orang tersebut, ketiganya adalah lelaki, bentuk/sikap/gaya serta pembawaannya seperti ini:
orang 1 = menunjukkan suatu ras tertentu, berwajah ramah, perawakan tinggi tetapi tidak terlalu besar.
orang 2 = (masih) menunjukkan suatu ras tertentu, berwajah agak sadis, lidah setajam silet -perih! (ohh please dehh) meskipun dia tersenyum tapi tetap saja judes-nya kelihatan.
orang 3 = Nah kalau yang ini favorite saya, (kelihatan) muda, gaya-nya sangatlah fashionable, kemeja+dasi+trousersnya matching, sangat cocok dengan bingkai kaca-matanya yang half-framed, wajahnya terlihat ramah, kulitnya agak ke-coklatan, matanya menyiratkan ungkapan “welcome“. Ganteng deh (cihuyyy!) :) Yang akhirnya saya perkirakan bahwa dia akan menilai ke-pribadian serta penampilan saya. And i’m totally right about this.
Kira-kira begini ini sesi tanya jawab dengan mereka:
2,
Ryane, please tell us about your personality, kelebihan dan kekurangan kamu.
:: i am bla-bla-bla.. so, makes me bla-bla-bla..
2,
What will you choose, hardworking-effective-honestly
:: i will choose honestly. Even sometimes, in a special case, honestly can’t make something effective. But i’ll always try!
1,
Hmm.. yeah, make sense. So, from 1 to 10, and 10 is the most honestly, where ya at?
:: between 8 to 9.
2,
Why don’t you say 10?
1,2,3 memandang penuh kepada saya, menunggu jawaban dari saya.
:: nope. for a simple example in a simple situation. My boss calling me, he tells me that he won’t go to the office because he is sleepy. Last night he watched fifa world cup 2006, his favorite team play on. Then, he want to re-schedule his activities for today. I’ve to call some clients about this. So, i have to tell a lie to them. I say, my boss got another meeting outside. Not saying, his sleepy because bla-bla-bla.. I must loyal to my boss, make a very good image about him. As long as still in professional needed, i have to!
2,
Waaa.. why don’t you tell your boss not to lie.
:: Yes, of course, i tell him, but personally. And everythings fine, then.
1,2,3
:: good.
3,
Btw, what is your dream, your next plan?
:: saya tersenyum manis (si-nomer-3 bertanya euy! deg-deg-an hehehe). I want to become a career-woman. Have my own business.
1, 3,
In what business?
:: (
masih tetap tersenyum) boutique. i love design. like fashion and accesories. i’ve planned to open this boutique with my friend. (pil, butik kita pil.. bagaimana mewujudkannya saja, at least we’ve our brand name hehehe)
3,
Very good.
1,2,3.. terus bertanya, kemudian saya terus saja menjawab.
Saya tidak mencoba, menjawab dengan image terjaga agar terlihat sempurna. Namun, apapun yang keluar dari jawaban-jawaban saya, pure, adalah saya. Intonasi bicara tetap stabil dan selalu sopan serta menghargai lawan bicara saya, itu saja. Sehingga apapun jawaban itu, mereka cukup memandang saya dengan tersenyum, penuh canda dan tawa, menimbulkan reaksi verbal dua arah yang cukup aktif dengan hasil yang cukup memuaskan pula. Tidak terlihat kesan meremehkan atau mencela jawaban saya. I think they like me, and yes they do.
Karena?
Today, they call me again. Invite me to their office to discuss about SALARY. Artinya i got the job, rite? They giving me an offer (nice offer, actually) but firstable.. i’ve to think about that. Saya tidak mau membuat keputusan dengan terburu-buru. Harus tetap difikirkan, positif-negatif lah hayyy..
So, i’m now in progress of thinking.. Saya akan kembali bercerita-cerita lagi, nanti. Yes I will. Sekarang biarkan saya berfikir dengan tenang dan penuh konsentrasi yaaa :) Thank you..

Appear as a mystical and forbidden fruit (Adam & Eve! ring a bell anyone?). Bring an emotion of love. Ssssttt, “apple” was the code to unlock the map to the holy grail in The Da Vinci Code.

Electrical banana / Is gonna be a sudden craze / Electrical banana / Is bound to be the very next phase.. They call it mellow yellow.. I suddenly found this lyric by accident!! :D so, why not? i put it in my blog..

Go crazy without any worries!

Sweet and bitter happen in life. Like an orange flavors vary from sweet to bitter (sometimes). But we do (at least i do) really-really like an Orange. Especially, Orange juice ;) . So, it means i do really love my life, for sure!

..Hip-Hip-Hura-Hura(hura-hura).. Uuuu.. aku suka dia! (suka dia).. Uuuu.. biarkan mereka.. Remember this famous song from 80’s?.. Was popular by Chrisye.. :D ayooo.. Combine with hula-hula dance ala Hawaii.. Typical tropic!! Lets the groove come to you..

Like a type of cocktail which are blend of strawberries, strawberry schnapps (based on vodka and fresh, wild strawberries), rum, cream, apple juice, ice cubes and vanilla ice cream then serve with hurricane glass. Complete. Full of spirit. Very tasty and aromatic. Manis-manis gimanaaa gitu.. Yah, seperti saya ini lah.. :)

Same as Water-melon, don’t judge book by its cover!

TO LET GO IS TO LOVE

Posted by: ryane   
May 19th,
2006
To let go does not mean to stop caring,
it means I can’t do it for someone else.
To let go is not to cut myself off,
it’s the realization I can’t control another.

To let go is not to enable,
but allow learning from natural consequences.

To let go is to admit powerlessness,
which means the outcome is not in my hands.

To let go is not to try to change or blame another,
it’s to make the most of myself.

To let go is not to care for,
but to care about.
To let go is not to fix,
but to be supportive.
To let go is not to judge,
but to allow another to be a human being.

To let go is not to be in the middle arranging all the outcomes,
but to allow others to affect their destinies.

To let go is not to be protective,
it’s to permit another to face reality.

To let go is not to deny,
but to accept.

To let go is not to nag, scold or argue,
but instead to search out my own shortcomings and correct them.

To let go is not to adjust everything to my desires,
but to take each day as it comes and cherish myself in it.

To let go is not to criticize or regulate anybody,
out to try to becomewhat I dream I can be.

To let go is not to regret the past,
but to grow and live for the future.

…To let go is to fear less and love more…

scary number 5

Posted by: ryane   
May 4th,
2006

When the number start counting. I found scary number 5 in me. Yup.. i’m getting older this year. 25. Sound scary for a few gal, inc’l me. I’m standing in front of the ‘Quarter life fear’ gate. Should I get in. Or should i get out. Do i have any ticket for rolling and playing inside?

So, the hell with all of that. All i know, i MUST enter the gate with or without a ticket to go. I should find my own way to get there. I should run for any chances in front of me. I should catch any opportunities that given to me.

Hopefully, I’m not too late, to realize that i’m now ready, willing and able to take any risk that may happen caused by my own choices living life.

{renungan suatu malam, ditemani harum melati dari batangan aromatheraphy bakar serta Time-nya Sarah Mclachlan dari wadah bundar perak atas nama teknologi}

Time, by Sarah McLachlan

Time here / All but means nothing just shadows that move cross the wall / They keep me company but they dont ask of me / They dont say nothing at all / I need just a little more silence, / I need just a little more time / You send your thieves to me / silently stalking me dragging me into your war / Would you give me no choice in this / I know you cant resist trying to re-open a sore / So leave me be, / I dont want to argue / I just get confused and I come all undone / If I agree well its just to appease you cause I dont remember what were fighting for

You see love a tight thorny thread that you spin in a circle of gold / To have me to hold me / A token for all to see captured to be yours alone / I need just a little more silence yeah / I need just a little more time / For courage to pull away / There will be hell to pay deeper you cut to the bone /

Time here all but means nothing just shadows that move cross the walls / They keep me company but they dont ask of me they dont say nothing at all
