Yup, this is my very 1st blog. I started it on January 21st, 2005. My 1st post was about writing as my hobby and profession.

I've been enjoying these 2 years of blogging. Enjoy it so much that I don't think I can live without it. Yes, I have to admit...I AM ADDICTED.

Aren't we all?

Every Wednesday Nights, I look up the sky...
Searching for your face.

Every Wednesday Nights, I go to your room...
Wishing you were still there.

Every Wednesday Nights, I call your name...
Hoping that you would answer.

Last Saturday night, one of the TV stations in my country played this great movie, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. It's about mixed marriage. It's about love. It touched my heart. It might touch yours, too.

Five stars for this movie.

Playtime

1. As a child, what was your favorite toy?

• Let me think...hm...dolls? Hm...oh now I remember! Monopoli, chess, halma...those are my toys...are they toys? No? Hmm...
• I also played with Indonesian traditional toys such as congklak, bekel and gangsing
  

2. Were you more likely to play by yourself or with other children?

• With other kids, but mostly with my cheating and never wanting to lose the game 'lil brother. Huh!
  

3. What was your favorite children's game?

• Hm...I think this question should be answered with the answer to the 1st question above. My fave is halma...
• But...my most fave Indonesian traditional toy would be congklak! :D
  

4. What kind of play were you most interested in?

• Know what, my brother and I used pencils and pens and eraser gum and pencil box to play with. And we pretended that the pencils and pens were the people and the box was the house and sometimes the eraser gums were the pillows or sofa. It was fun. But, my bro refused to put them back to their places and I had to be the one to clean up the mess...huh!
  

5. How well did you share?

• Very well, I believe...when it came to toys I think I was nice...

Yipppieeeeeeee!

I've just got a package from one of the publishing companies that I translate novels for. Inside the package I found a new novel. I was wondering: "Did they send it to me as a present or as something I have to translate?"

Silly wondering. Of course it's something I have to translate!

Thank God. I really need the job.

Before I have translated Ocean Sea, Michelangelo's Notebook and What A Woman Should Know (Silhouette Romance, 1685). So, it'll be my 4th tranlsation job.
