work hard play hard in the past

after reading Melanie's Book about being LO for some artist that came here. it's bring the memories to my previous work in the model management. more less i did the same things too but if she handled the international artist (singer,group band,performer) i handled international models. i contacted the agency, choose the models, bring them down to the country, dealing contract, visa issues,etc. i can said i was more like their personal assistant. there are so many things I've been through. from language barrier until handling complain from client. different country different mentality. models from Uzbekistan easier to be handled but sometimes the language barriers are the problem so many times we have misunderstanding. models from forward country like European or American very hard, bit arrogant..

my position sometimes its kinda hard, in between clients need and models. we have to get win win solution to both parties (this is the hard one) one side i have to satisfied the clients with use our service but other side models are human, they can feel, they can talk, and they just can do anything like what they want. once time my models had photo session, i thought everything was OK but suddenly my client called me and said that he want change model cause the one that i set for him don't want to continue the shoot. i came to the location and find out that the model feel hurt cause the hairdresser treat her hair bad, well tried to explain to the client and he counter back with said "as a model u are ready to everything including people do your hair" well if the model is a thing maybe u can do anything but she is human have feeling and i think its normal anyway finding last minute model wasn't that easy.

behind all of these things, around the model was very nice time. u always become center of attention cause u walk around with beautiful creatures, u can meet amazing people that u can only see from magazine or TV, u can see many interesting thing behind the scene or backstage, u attend exclusive show for exclusive people only, privilege in some clubs when u bring the models, and many more so u work hard and of course play hard. such a fun work actually i really enjoyed it. i missed those moments...

behind the airport story

one day i have to accompany my model to airport and escort her to make sure she pass the immigration check point without any problem. at that time she was close with a guy son of famous parents. he also take my model to the airport. after that he offered me a ride.. in the middle of the road i just realise i lost my phone, and i think it fallen in the parking area in the airport. i felt so bad, one side my phone is my second life cause related to my job, other side i don't want to bother him to turn the car and back to airport cause we already far away from the airport. but he kindly offered me a favour to turn back to the airport car park and looking for the phone. he even convinced me to try first even the result maybe not like we hope. but how if actually we can get it but we never know cause we never try.

then we back and he was rite, my phone still there, on the ground of the car park. its so miracle i can get my phone back in the public area without lost it. and from all of that he was so kind. even his family is famous one, but he want to help me to go back and get my phone back. the way he talk, dress, the car he drive show how he was very low profile imagine what his parents has as important people in the government. he is just so different, while many kids from famous or rich family are so arrogant event some people that think they are someone also so arrogant.

he is just one in million i think. hope he still like the way he is...

my life and next?

i turned 28th on feb, im damn old but i want keep feel young as i can. and this year will be amazing year, i writing blog, i will have big trip to Europe, and many plans. hmmm 28? what i can do beside keep avoiding the question "when u get married?" oh God, can i just keep single and happy, enjoying my lovely live. but seem my family not have same idea. and its makes me disturbed. i have plan to write book, i plan to travel around but if my family not support what i want i feel stuck

this year i met amazing people from amazing site. this year i met real writer with 2 best seller books. i met "great future writer" and so lucky he host my bday party in the orphanage. and realise that i could be one of them one day. im working on it, and im start it with writing this blog.. i know im still beginner, i even dont know how to make nice story line when im writing. i think i just write what i think. even my words not that literately correct but im keep learning.

when i write the blog or the book what i should write? what do and donts? actually i have many interesting story to be told, funny, inspired, and maybe very pathetic and dramatic.. story since when i got scholarship to Italy and been a tourist than a traveler that time. been working with people from many nationality, and interested people. and now very different job that i cant tell much in public area, cause i work with discreet people and they are very different tho'.

when i was finish my high school i want to choose movie school with majoring directing or script writer but my parents not support me at that time. now i maybe have good job but still im not get the chemistry with my recent job, or the previous..

so what next??? mmmm book or travel blog of my trip that this time i called with "the path of seeing old friends" :)

welcome to the jungle of work world

when i was  kid, i imagine to be a doctor, but when i go to high school i find out that I'm not that good in maths, chemistry, physic, or biology subject, so i change my dream at that time i wasn't sure but for sure i like English subject. then many profession came up in my head like Psychology, directer, ambassador, teacher, secretary, Public relation,etc. when i choose my major in university, actually i want go to directing school in IKJ but I'm sure my parents wont allow my creative idea, for them the ideal work is dealing with number in office or behind the desk. since I'm not good with numbers i refuse their advise to go to economic faculty, finally i choose Politic faculty with major international relation, because i like English and its international language. i dream also to be work in ministry of foreign affairs or even be an ambassador.

i finish my study in 4 years with good result. but it wasn't a guarantee i could get job fast. i wait like 2 years until i have my settle job. in 2 years as freelancer in event organize, my parents especially my dad kept telling me if i heard their advise to take economic or accounting major it wont be hard for me to get job as many vacancies required for people who has background in economic major.. at that time i felt so sad maybe their right, or maybe its just about the time that it wasn't my time yet to get my dream job. in meantime, my parents kept asking me to try the recruitment of some ministries of Indonesia. of course my main target is Ministry of Foreign Affairs(DEPLU), that's the place i can have a carrier as Ambassador in future. but the the recruitment test of those ministries especially Deplu very difficult, well maybe not if i really study or well prepared but also there so many participants and very little post to get. for example i follow in 2008, there are 10,000 participant for the test but only 80 people get the post... can u imagine it?

in 2007 i got my first official job, in a model agency in Jakarta, as Booker for international models, in the first I'm not sure this is what i want but why not i give a try and its still about international community. i use my only one skill which is my English skill. working in model agency was so much fun, met fun people, and have fun things but its not really good for expand my carrier...

lovely olgya she is one of miss russia now, glad been work with her

actually when i decided to quit the job in 2009, i don't have any new job coming up but i already reach my zero point of working in agency, and 2 years i think enough for my references. so i quit the job and become job seeker and jobless for almost 6 months, until i got interview in my recent work place. my recent work is totaly different from my previous job, event still dealing with international community but this much different. different kind of work and field, different type of people but this close to my dream job working in embassy even not as ambassador but at least the staff of the ambassador. at this moment im trying to enjoy it, even not much fun as previous job but this is good for my references and maybe i could expand my carrier.. who knows..

poem from a good and close friend once

one day i got letter from my good friend, hilmi, we went to same high school. he attached a poem to the letter, here is the poem:

Hal yang mudah mencari teman
saat segalanya berjalan baik
saat mencari kesenangan bersama
ketika hal-hal yang mengasyikan ada
ketika lingkungan terasa menyenangkan
semua berlomba mencari kita

namun ketika masalah datang
siapakah yang bersama kita?
dan saat semuanya...
kehidupan, perasaan, cinta, membingungkan
dialah teman yang susah ditemukan

terima kasih untukmu
telah menjadi orang yang langka itu
bagi diriku

by: M. Hilmi Adrianto

Dear Hilmi, how u doing? where've been? hope you not forget me, really want to meet you soon bro,

Friendship forever

A quote said "people come and go in our life but only best friends stay forever". this time i want to talk about people that i convince as my friend best friend, close friend, good friend or just friends. my best friend is Dhani and Irma, we are friends since we were 3 years old. we went to the same elementary school, they are the one that i can disturb all time, can call at 3pm when i was in my hard time about life, love, work, etc. even we met many new people, friends, or we have our own life and problem, still we can count on each other. i can find better best friend than them, they are 2 in many people i met. its not easy to be friend for more than 20 years old.

in Junior High School, my good friend is Viggy, we also went to the same college, and we many times share our thoughts and dream for our future. she is fun girl but don't ask her to go camping, stay a nite or kind stuff like that, she really have many ritual of dressing and stuff.

when i was in Senior High School, i went to dormitory school in north Sumatra, 10 hrs from Medan the capital city of the province. in this school i met many lovely people. as we lived in dorm we really close each other, but since they busy with their life or met new friends, we not seeing each other that much like we did when we are in university. i miss them actually.

my friend in university also I'm not really see them after, i wish they are find with their life and always remember me.. i met lovely person also when i went to France course and Italian course in Unistra di Siena. they really wonderful people, and it like dream when this spring i will meet some of them in Europe..

co workers in my previous job they really fun people, and I'm sure they are busy people also even to meet me but i wish they never forget that we've been working together, spent time, and pass hard and fun times... wish them luck to reach all their dream. my recent work, well its kinda different work so I'm not very social or i can be more social with them. they just different people and i have to understand it and accept it.

now i met wonderful people from Couchsurfing community, they are just very nice people. we never met before but we become very close travel mate, we spent very nice time and travel together, i wish we also keep friends even we will meet more people in this group..

finally, thanks for everyone who ever been or still in my life, good friends that rarely to find, wish our friendship stay forever...

good luck friends
