it's a past but unforgetable

here I come again, the same write of this blog..
well, lo siento it's been a long time not to write this blog because I've just had such a UP and down season in my life. But it's not a big deal, at least I can still devote my time to write down on this blog :)

started when I was in the last year of my college, meaning a time to take off all the predicates of being a student and step forward to the next chapter of my life. I gotta admit it was such a memorable and full of experience in my whole life because that was a time where I was able to deepen my english for making friends with foreign students studying at my college. I was accepted to be one of student volunteers who had a job to guide and explain everything which exists in this country especially in Yogyakarta. Having been accepted, I shortly prepared myself in order to carry out my task which was a the first time for me. Oh ya there were several students besides me joint this program namely Puella, Santi, Cesar, and one other person but I forgot his name, but somehow only me and Santi who actively carried out the task just because the laziness of the others..!

So, those people came. They were Quinn Fuller, Nik Griffin, Paul de Pontbriand Vieira, and Jen-un Moon.
Quin and Nik are a couple from States, Quinn is originally from Ohio and Nik from New Jersey. Paul whom is labeled as "mama boy" is from Brazil, he's a half French and a half Brasilian. And the last, Jen-un Moon an adorable sweetheart from South Corea, who had studied Indonesian before coming to Indonesia to study. All the people joint a non-degree scholarship provied by Indonesia goverment held annually to people around this world whom are interested in learning and expericencing Indonesia directly, as one of effective medias to promote this country to people outside of Indonesia.

First day, I was so excited to start my task. On the day I met one of them, it was Paul the mama boy, we met him at the hotel where our university have prepared it for them. Actually, Quinn and Nik stayed ath the same hotel with Paul but since those are people are not high-taste people, they prefered looking for a simple house to settle in rather than got stuck at the fancy hotel.. So I introduced myself to the mama boy, first impression I assumed him as a nice guy but soon I figured out he's NOT that nice. We left the hotel, he carried all his stuffs, 1st plan was to look for a kos (boarding house) as a living place for him during a year. We headed to Mrican area, nearby the campus, with expectation that we would find a kos for him shortly on that day.
1st hour, nothing found. 2nd, still the same. 3rd, it was getting frustated because our searching was away from our expectation, and all of us were getting tired and tired. But in the end we found it, it was small dirty boarding house. In the beginning he refused to stay there, along with all the compliments and comments, but later he agreed to settle it because nothing left for him.

======>> to the next chapter
