It takes more than one game to find your flow; to connect body and soul. The goal is to keep trying; not giving up. Keep working to improve your game, don't give up your dreams; it takes several attempts. Keep buying the game and you will see progress; be persistent with your dreams and you will see that they are possible.

bad things happen

all these years, i had never really regretted anything. i always managed to let go of my past. i accepted that bad things happened, and all i could do was just let go of them. So i lived pretty happily until that time

i know it has been (almost) two weeks since i was released from the hospital but i still can not accept the fact that i had to miss a lot of important things during that time. Being sick for 9 days and being hospitalized for a week still seemed so wrong. It was not part of the plan and i was not prepared for it. There are just too many things i could have done if i had not been sick. okay, maybe God has something else in mind, but still, its just something i can not accept, yet.

what happened to formspring.me?

just now, i just noticed that got a question on my formspring page. so i went to formspring.me and, guess what i found, formspring only left me with 2 questions, and the rest i had answered before are gone. i dont know when exactly the questions (and the answers, of course) disappeared since it had been a freaking longish time since i checked my formspring account (okay, not that long) but one thing i know for sure, im pissed. No. just kidding. well yeah, i think i should just stop writing ( typing ) right now because this post is going nowhere

peace out

my first capoeira class

No, i'm not talking about the very first capoeira class that i took, but my first capoeira class after i got hospitalized. when i read the sick certificate, it said i only need 3 days to get some rest after released from the hospital. i got out of the hospital on may 18th so that means i need to take a rest until may 21th. so i decided to take capoeira class on may 22th. i was very excited since it was going to be my first time practicing capoeira with my corda.

May 22th, i was late when i got to GKU Timur (where we usually had our capoeira class). i think the class had already started for like 30 minutes so i had to do the warm up by myself. i had no idea what kind of warm up i should do, so i asked fininho (my instructor). he told me to do cocorinha and cadeira. so i did what i was told, cocorinha, cadeira to the left, back to cocorinha and cadeira to the right. i was supposed to do that 20 times in a row, but i got tired so i took 5 seconds every once in a while.

After i was finished with the cadeira-cocorinha thing (i didnt do it 20 times), i joined the roda with other people. But, not long after that, i felt my head spinning around. i stayed in the roda but the longer i waited, the stronger my vertigo became (not sure it was vertigo, though). then i decided to get out of the circle. i couldn't walk normally, i staggered (and i was told that my friends were betting on me, whether i would fall down or not). Graduado fininho run (or walk) after me, just in case i fell down (there were stairs so it was pretty dangerous).

I thanked God i didn't fall nor pass out (well if i had passed out, it would have been my first pass out experience). A friend of mine, Heny, got me water then i felt a lil bit better. Instead of training capoeira, i sat on--that 50 cms wall surrounding plants and grass, not sure what to call it--watching my friends play. that was kind of upsetting. i thought my first capoeira class would be awesome but seemed like things didn't really go according to plan (okay, honestly i didnt plan anything, lol). But hey, that wasn't really my first capoeira class. that didn't count because i didn't even finish the warm up. So, im gonna take another class this Saturday and its going to be legen--wait for it--dary, lol.

Peace out :)

i got hospitalized D:

i feel like i have to post something because couple of important things happen in the past few months. Im not gonna talk much about it so here it is:

the 1st one is the 3rd batizado e troca de corda quizumba capoeira. i finally got my first corda, yay!! too bad i dont really remember who batizado-ed me but im gonna find out real soon because i believe the pictures will be up soon (somewhere). The event itself was super great. i had to skip some classes to take the workshops but i was all worth it. the workshop was fun (but stil tiring, of course). i developed calluses during the workshop though so i couldnt do my best ginga and esquiva. but everything was stil worth doing. the batizado was the best (since it was the only batizado i had been to). I loved doing and watching the dances, loved the roda, loved the axe, and loved the capoeirista that actually came and played in the roda, and tha people that watched.

The second one is kadwil (kaderisasi wilayah). i had to skip the first day of kadwil because the date conflicted with the batizado day. but thank god i stil had day two of the kadwil. So, day two was pretty fun actually. it was all game. my favorite part was when we were asked to make a one layered circle. we thought we could not make the circle since the space wasn't big enough but then someone came up with the idea of making a really huge circle around the building. everyone holded hands with eachother while singing our yelyel. i think it was really beautiful.

i got hospitalized. yes, i am not kidding, and it was for dengue fever. Actually it was my first time being hospitalized, and getting an IV infusion. i was new with the whole hospital thing so i was kinda excited on the first day. people said i didn't look like a sick person. i even eat up my meal (yeah, that boring and so NOT mouth watering food). it was also nice to have my kalkulus 11 friends seeing me at the hospital. maybe that was one of the reasons why i felt pretty happy on the first day. The second day was okay, i was not as excited as i was on the first day but i still finished my meal. i was also optimistic that i was getting better that i could be unhospitalized real soon. My UCQI friends also came to see me so that kind of made my day. When it came to the 3rd day, things got pretty awful. I didn't finish my meal anymore. the worst part was i realized that it was impossible that the doctor would release me from the hospital soon enough to have my calculus final test. i was really depressed since i would have got a D if i didn't take this test. i cried all morning long at the hospital (no one knew about this). but then i went to sleep and had this weird dream about calculus. The dream was like telling me to accept the fact that i had to miss the test so i accepted it. I was hospitalized for about a week and i missed two final tests because of it. Through this post i wanna thank all my friends who came to see me and even those who spend the night at the hospital looking after me. Bobby, Rochvi, Nazar, Yudith, Okky, Risa, Ail, Obi, Tomy, Joshua, Rani, Kak Widodo, Kak Ira, Alam, Arya, Riza, Bama, Ferzy, Kak Rocky, Kak Bram, Kak Ami, Beffy, Bang vicky, Kak Tri, another Tomy, Intan, Ari, Sylvia and Shoraya (my sisters), and finally my mom. i couldn't remember all the people that actually came and im sorry for that. just let me know if you came and want me to put your names here.

and one more thing, i failed getting into geophysical engineering with petroleum eng GPA. this kind of makes me sad :(

peace out,
gee
