Alhamdulillah, I heard back from them so fast, they offered some good position. First, *** radio offered me to be a ‘tandem announcer’ (I’m so happy for that, that’s what I need and wait for a long long time.. but the management contract hasn’t fair for me, so yeah I didn’t take it). The second one is you know what ? I played for some FTV (Film Television) hahahhahahaha, it is so funny for me at least, but that’s a great experience thou, watch out dude  :I  Then a lil bit more seriously, I passed the interview to be Book guide at some international bookstore, well I’ll do the Internship first for one month then they’ll recruit me to be permanent staff (amiin, hopefully ya).

tenuous, unconscious and staggering

feel like I make my way toward the stage

feel like the shift has occured since i stepped up

feel like i stare into the distance

feel like that's enough time to release the small

feel like the odds are not in my favor

feel struggle to remain emotionless

feel like im truly in danger of crying

and finally, I feel like I compose my self

ISWEEEP 2011 (Vol 1)

It’s been a wonderful journey, had a great experience to meet the fabulous young scientist from all over the world and realize that’s world is not a small places as I was thought before. ISWEEEP gimme such an unforgettable experience. It wasn’t just a competition and search who’s the best, who’s gonna get prizes or medals but more than that ISWEEEP gimme such a big lesson that how important to understand the world and world will understand you!

Taken a part of the annual international science Olympiad is such a  big honoured for me. It’s a big deal that I was appointed to represent the United States through CT and was compete with another young scientist from 70 countries. Once again many thanks to CT state, US government and ISWEEEP!!

What I was expected before? to grab some bronze, silver, gold or even money??? NOT at all and was my science project gave a big hit or a big flop? Was the judging a delightful experience or was it a big nightmare for me? Do I really care? Hm, not really. Honestly, what I was expected before are to looking for new experience, meet young scientist from all of continent, making friends and get a long with them. This is such a cool things ever from this event. What a great quality time to hang out and meet the kids from Iraq, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Bosnia, Hongkong, Georgia, South Africa, USA, India, JORDAN and many more, it was the best moment ever. I felt like I was attended the United Nations conference. Well, actually this week I also will take a part at GCIMUN (Global Classroom International Model United Nations) Conference and will take a place at UN Headquarter New York, wish me up!

Anyway, from this event I was thinking is a long way to go. Many things that we have to do TOGETHER.  Right now, I’ve something that comes up in my mind and am I wrong if I wanna majoring political/int’l relation for college? (crap). In the other side, I wanted to visit my friends in everywhere, have some discuss and make some science project together and give a contribution to the world. Try to create a better environment for a better future. Is not just about you and me but all of us. Interesting to have some exchange ideas and got any to share? please feel free to reach me by email at aryandaondrio@rocketmail.com and aondrio@darienps.org

We are all brothers and sisters, let’s take care our world for the better future! Thanks to ISWEEEP for make it happens! Love and miss you all, hope to see you 600 young scientist very SOOON!!!

Ps : a little notes that I wrote up while on the way back home from Texas. (at American Airlines, May 8^th) and I do really miss these great moments!!

Love, AO--

Holaaaa, I knew, its such a long time I haven't post anything yet to share with you guys. Well its mostly because I've to do so much stuff. That I mention to you in my previous post, April through May will be the crazy months ever !!!!

I remember that i said to you, I've cancelled my trip to Midwest but I changed my mind, then what ? I will do trip to Midwest, YAY!. I'm going to Minneapolis first, Chicago, then Indianapolis. My flight is tomorrow morning, can’t wait!. FYI, for this trip I haven’t my details itinerary yet. Which means I will do this trip with 'blindness' (lol). I want to feel like a ‘real’ backpacker, no reservation (well, I've my reservation for flight, bus, and hostel) but still I don’t have any details stuff what I'm gonna do there. Sounds interesting or not really ? haha. Wish me luck and hope will get a lot of fun there! Have fun for your break too guys if you have it, if you don’t have it, I'll pray hope you have a good time ya, especially for my fellow that still struggling with national examination for their senior high school graduation in Indonesia! I know you will do your best and get the best result! my pray for all of you fellas!. Also for my sister and brother who want to fight for National Exam next week, my fully support and pray for you dear.

Anyway, I've been forget to tell you about my Eastcoast backpacking trip stories. I'm really-really sorry. I will refer it to my friend blog if you wanna hear more details, Nadya's Blog. But I will try to write up the stories sometimes. (If you have concern or question about Backpacking trip and stuff, please contact me. well, I'm not expert on it but I will help as much as i can).

I will back to you probably in mid of May. Kinda busy with all of those things that I’ve planned since a long time ago. I will start this crazy months with relaxing (lol) I'm going to Midwest just for backpacking and a bit of sightsee, then come home have a regular school days. Well we have homecoming week right after spring break, usually we have to dress up with ‘unique and weird dress code’. In the same week, I’ve trip to New York City with my humanities class, Afterwards I’ve to prepare for my Science competition in Texas in the first week of May (beside that I’m feel so bad that I can’t join with my best friends to spend the weekends in Martha’s vineyard island in Massachusetts for celebrate Sara’s birthday, sorry Sara but I love you and enjoy guys!). Next, 2 days after my science competition, I’ve United Nations Int'l Conferences for 3 days in UN Headquarters in New York (I still have to do position paper, speech and other stuff -,-). Then, I still have a class trip to New York City to do some observation and research there, and on the next day I’ve trip to Philadelphia with my YES NYC Cluster for 4 days. Huff, Isn’t neat huh ? well, I’m glad and grateful that I still have something to do and have a chance to skip school days (haha). Wish me luck guys! And Hope your day as happy as mine!

In this tight time, I also try to apply for some regional summit. This summit will talk about the ‘Entrepreneur, Volunteer and other social activities’. I hope I will pass the selection and will represent Indonesia in this summit and my mission is to send the message to the world that we have to realize that the important things right now is to take care the ‘needy kids and poor people’ and help them to get a better life in the future. So, keep open our minds and please help your community and society.  Be aware and sensitive with our environment and save our next generation! We can start to do the small things to get the big impact!!!

These experiences made my year full of love and happiness, I'm so grateful with all of those things that was happened to me in the past 8 months but over the weekend is the climax for me. I felt like a part of family, YES ! We are family, Superb Family!

Maple Fest, NY 

Coney Island, NYC. we can smell the 'love n freedom' here

There are many people that we meet in our lives but only a very few of them that will make a lasting impression in our minds and hearts. These bunch of ‘amazing kids’ that make me will think of them everytime and who will always remain me how important to have an ‘International Family’.

Brooklyn Bridge, NYC. Enjoyed the sunset !

If all my friends were to jump off a Brooklyn

bridge, I wouldn't jump with them, I would be at the bottom to catch them

Nathans hot dogs! The Famous Hot Dog in the World

It´s funny how a little hug, makes us feel good.
In every place and language, It´s always understood.
hugs don´t need new equipment,
Just open up your arms and open up your hearts.

We are the Coolest Nutmegger ever !

The City That Never Sleeps, New York City !!

Saturday, March 19

Marian and I picked up nadya, cenna and untari in John F kennedy Airport. Kebetulan, Marian’s sister namanya jane bersedia rumah nya kita tumpangin. Alhamdulillah, jadilah kita semua stay di Brooklyn. We drop our suitcase there and a lil bit had conversation with Jane families. Then, we catched up by subway to Statue of Liberty and visited the Ellis Island, we didn’t go to the crown but well we had a chance to touch the liberty as well. Well, You have to pay for the tickets to go to Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Unless if you dont want pay for it, you can use the ferry, the ferry are kinda like shuttle and just back and forth from and to Manhattan - Staten Island (Part of New York City) but still you can see the Liberty. Setelah sesi jeprat-jepret yg lumayan lama dan muter-muter patung yg jadi symbol Negara adi kuasa ini, akhirnya kita lapar juga and had lunch di Liberty Resto. Then, we took a subway to Empire State Building. In there, you can see a great view dri ketinggian 1050 feet or on the 86th floor. Its pretty amazing but yeah it was to cold, haha. Then, We went to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, atau terkenal dengan nama ‘The Met’. You can see many section parts of the world history and art here. But the most major here are classical antiquity and Ancient Egypt. Setelah dari The Met sekitar jam 9 pm, waktunya kita buat makan malam. We took a bus to go to Midtown. And we stopped at St. Patricks church and its exactly in front of The Rockefeller Center. They still have Ice skate rink there, but for us it was to cold to do ice skate. Hm, kalau kamu pernah nonton home alone part ‘lost in New York’, pasti tau dong Rockefeller dan ice pond rink nya? I’ve been there like last Christmas, and its amazing stand up ijn underneath big-huge Christmas tree! Well, we went up to top of the rock, ga kalah keren dari Empire State building loh dari ketingian (I’m forget exactly, tpi sekitar 76^th floor or something) dengan deck observatory yg terbuka kita bisa ngerasain dingin nya udara malam new york dari gedung tertinggi di mid town New York ini. oh ya, Karna kita kesana nya malam, It so fabulous. The light, traffic, cab are just good match for New York! Usahakan kalau kamu ke Top of the rock, pick yg night hours. Pemandangan dan gemerlap nya new york siap menyambut kamu! Last, we went to times square for late dinner afterwards. We spent like 3-4 hours just for sharing (curhat, galau, ngeluh, mengenang-ngenang dan sebangsanya) in times square, till time showed us its already 3 o’clock in the morning. Lets, Catched the subway, we got home like 4 o’clock in the morning. It was a really great first day of trip! Blah.

Sunday, March 20

Kita mengawali pagi di hari minggu dengan keterlambatan, this is the effect that we don’t had enough time to sleep well. Jadilah, plan yang seharusnya di mulai jam 8 pagi ngaret ret ret. This is important thing for you guys who want to backpack or travel, set your alarm then wake up and don’t stay up late !. Brooklyn bridge, yeah these bridge is our first destination. We walked from Brooklyn side toward to Manhattan side, along the bridge we could see many tourist. Yeah, this bridge is the famous bridge in United States. If you aware in Bruno Mars songs  ’somewhere in brooklyn’, and the one of clip scene is took a place in Brooklyn bridge. Lower Manhattan is the next stopped. We a lil bit sightsee in Wall street and Ground Zero (WTC Tower or 9/11). We had lunch in lower Manhattan, because the tight of time, we decide to have a simply lunch. Jadilah street vendor jadi sasaran kita. Well, rata2 harga makanan street vendor di New York bisa setara dengan harga di restaurant elite di Lousiana atau Alabama loh rumornya. Quick lunch, then we took subway to midtown NY, Cruise line star is ready for us. We had a tour around NYC (Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island). 3 hours in a cruise, we felt so chilly. But for us it was  a fabulous tour with a great cruise and nice tour guide, met people from around the world and absolutely see the all part of NYC. So then, here we goooo, we are so excited. This is  time to dinner with special and spectacular menu (read: Indonesian Food) haha. We went to Indonesian restaurant that I usually ended up every single time when I’m in NYC !. We went to shopping district afterwards. I took them to 7,8,9 avenue in 47^th street. Yeah, if you wanna buy some souvenir in New York, the tips is don’t buy it in fancy places because its cost so much money. After shopping we ended up again in Times Square. Took a picture, shopping, and ‘silly thingy’ haha.  I can’t explain what the silly thingy that we did :p. well guys, over all that is the main things that we’ve visited during our vacation in NYC. One important tips that you have to do during your visit in New York, lets make your time efficient, you just  need to buy NYC PASS. Because if you have this pass you don’t have to make a line up (in fact many tourist spent their time a lot just to make a line up). NYC PASS ? What is that ? its kinda like a tickets to enter the main attraction in New York, It’s depends what kind of pass that you buy. Mine is a package with 6 destination. I got 46% more cheap and its so easy you can buy it online.  Now, time to go home,  lets ready to see BOSTOOOOOOOOOOOOOON !

Hallo Northeastern !

It has been a wonderful backpacking trip even though we still used the suitcase instead a big backpack while we were traveling. Hm, sedikit concern aja kalau trip selama 2 minggu then I have to bring the huge big backpack, it will hurt me (baca : patah tulang, osteoporosis, lemah, lesu dan lunglai).  However, kita tetep keukeh nyebut perjalanan kita dengan judul  ‘backpacking’ (haha) because we pretend that backpack identic with ‘hostel’, ‘ground transportation and walk’, ‘less budget’ and we did. But literally, we definitely break the rules as a ‘backpacker’. Hmm, what was happened ?

Me, Nadya, Cenna and Untari in Statue of Liberty with New York City as a background

------

Yeah! setelah sekian lama memplaningkan trip ini, dari sekitar bulan November yang lalu. Akhirnya trip ini berjalan sukses dan fantastic. Dari sekian banyak yg tertarik, akhirnya fix lah kita ber 4 untuk ambil bagian dri trip yg super cool ini. Cenna- Arkansas, Nadya- Florida, Untari- Virginia and I. Surely, my best liasion Marian accompanied us during the trip. Trip ini dimulai dari Maret tanggal 19 sampai tanggal 26.

We tried to figure out the schedule with a bunch of plans !

Oh ya, each of us has responsibility to make the details schedule and in charge on that city loh (persis kyk bagi-bagi tugas). So, I responsibility to be a tour guide in New York City, they call me ‘Mr. NYC’. Cenna is ‘Mr.Boston’, his in charge about Boston and stuff. ‘Oma Philly’ is Nadya, why we call her oma not mrs philly? Is more because she’s in charged in Philly then she made up the plan to just hang over in ‘historical-old-dark-quiet area’ of Philly (Baca: National Mall area) which means almost old people theres, so quite, everything closed by 6 pm dan mngkin krna nadya udah kena syndrome di state yg hampir semua penduduknya adalah lansia kali ya (baca Florida) ?. jdi instinct dan prefer nya begitu. Lol. Then Untari is ‘Mrs DC and Virginia’. 

FYI, Cenna, Nadya and Untari sebelumnya ga tau apa2 loh dan belum pernah ke sana (baca: kota yg mreka incharge-in) tpi dgn bantuan om google and some informan finally they made up the details plan. Ini bisa jadi trik buat kamu backpackingan loh. Pertama, research apa aja yg kamu mau kunjungin bisa cek di couchsurfing, google, bing or whatever and make the decision afterwards, kamu bisa bagi2 tugas ke yg lain nya untuk ngebikin detail plans. Detail plans itu seperti jam berapa objek yg kamu mau kunjungi buka dan tutup? Naik kendaraan apa menuju kesana, naik dan turun dimana? Berapa biaya tiket masuk dan transportsi nya? Is any Restaurant or street vendor ? Hm, satu lagi usahain ngebikin route trip kamu searah. Jadi ga back and forth dan lumayan ngehemat waktu loh. So you do not waste your time to stray out, get lose, dan menghindari buat nanya2 ke orang banyak yg ujung2 nya bikin riewueh.

Coming up backpacking stories in NYC very sooon )”

Crazy week

I just came home last Thursday (4 days ago). But I’ve chance to write up my stories just right now. Last weekend it was fabulous for me, I came home on March 31/ Thursday night, and I went to school on Friday (a lil bit tired but it is a good think to have one day school then weekends). Then, my birthday is on last saturday! Had a good time skype-ing with my family and friends in Indonesia. I got birthday presents from my family, we had a special dinner  in New Canaan and we went to play bowling afterwards, got the first places in the 2^nd game, lucky! The next day (sunday) we went up to Greenwich, hiking a lil bit. It was nice, the sunny comes up, the weather are very great even its still windy. How I miss the perfect sunny day in Jakarta. Anyway, Thanks for your warm greetings and best wishes for me guys, welcome to my 18 world and love you!

Oh ya, Senin kemarin, waktunya gua buat ngejar2 semua guru even today (selasa), I‘ve to do make up works. It’s a ton of works that I’ve to do as soon as I can. I couldn’t believe how many assignments that I should do and has to be done on this week, (baca : crazy). Do I have to tell you what and how many assignments that I have? Would you help me out? I don’t think so, No single one like to do assignments. Haha. Oh ya, I didn’t go to ‘Nusantara Cultural night’ in Wesleyan University last week, I heard from someone that was so amazing night, and its more worth it because they provide the ‘Indonesian Traditional food’. Nasib, gua malah berjibaku dengan laundry-an dan tugas-tugas sekolah.

fyi, I’m a bit stressful about the upcoming trip, I have plan to go to midwest, (read : Minnesota, Chicago and Indiana) for my spring break, april 14-23. I already bought the airfares tickets and well schedule but somehow somethings screwed up me. I’ve to make the decision, then I cancelled my trip (-,-). Got lost the money and I’m feel so bad to my friends about this. For some reason, I have to choose and make a priority. Sedikit menyesal, I can’t see the midwest of United States. Ga sampai disitu, I just about make the new plan, want to go to boston (again). Hm, might be I will do visit college. As I said before, I leave my heart in boston and I will pick up someday! Lumayan buat mengisi waktu spring break.

Overall, this week is so crazy, I will host the AFS stay over night party this weekend and hang out in NYC, will meet Mary in New York (I’m so excited!), have to do the I-SWEEEP stuff (Research paper, the supervisor things, and  travel stuff), Make up assignments (do I have to? >.<), upload some pictures and video that we took, go get find part time job, make a arrangments planing about the boston trip, try to figure out and help my friends who want to come to NY. Argh, tapi bagusnya gua masih nyempetin waktu buat share what happening this week and how this all stuff drive me so crazy! well, I’m in school right now, The bell is gonna be ring soon, (niat awal mau cerita ttg backpack malah curhat) I will tell you my backpacking stories soooooooon!
