When it comes to writing, I can do it naturally (didn’t
someone write in his blog that I write with the heart? What’s that guy’s blog
name? I cannot find it). But when it comes to telling people about me, I have no
slight idea. I am not a narcissist though writing About Me does not mean narcissism.
I just don’t know what to write as I am a private person but alright alright… here
it goes.
DO NOT SEE MY BROWSER
HISTORY
I am not a rapist, not a serial murderer, not a porn freak,
not a secret agent, not a supermodel, not a scammer, not a fortune teller, not
a witch, not a politician, not an infidel for whatever your religion is. I love to write.
I TALK TO RANDOM STRANGERS ON THE STREETS MORE THAN I TALK TO ANYBODY ELSE IN MY LIFE
Didn’t your mama tell you not to talk to strangers? Alas, I wasn’t known as a kid who listened to her Mama. So if I am staring at a stranger, I am thinking “Should this guy go to my book? What is his life story? What is his character like? Let's chat him up.”
Most of the time they think I am flirting with them, then I will be in trouble. Other times they think I want to abduct them and run from me, especially if I appear from out of nowhere. Just poooof!
CALL ME D
That’s all. So important to share.
I DON'T REVEAL MY REAL IDENTITY
It isn't important who I really am, what do I look like, my real name...
One day, some day, I will.
DO NOT PISS ME OFF. I WILL MAKE MONEY OUT OF IT
Self- explanatory. Whether you will be the clown of the story or be the honky town woman, it depends on how I think of you. You will know if you read it but you cannot sue me :). There is nothing new under the Sun, isnt' it? No biggie, some people don’t piss me off enough to be used as a character.
Just like the appendix in your body, only useful when early human still ate grass.
Other me: “Didn’t they say don’t piss off a writer?”
Me: “No never heard of that.”
Other me: “You will swallow them and make them a mockery in your books.”
Me: “And get myself stomach ulcers?”
I WRITE BETTER WHEN I AM IN A LOW EBB
Don’t ask me. I don’t’ know why. But I believe anger, sadness has a GREAT vibe one needs to channel out. Why don't we make use of the chaotic situation to be something positive and earn $$$. Rather than spending hours crying and destroying stuffs around, or being emo telling your miserable life problems on social media. And I do it by writing. Just seeing a picture of a funny hotel room, I can write one whole funny story about it. When I am in constant anger or low ebb, I write even better and funnier.
Is that weird?
I AM NOT FUNNY IN REAL LIFE, IF YOU DON’T KNOW ME LONG ENOUGH
There are reasons to have tons of friends and acquaintances who cancel to hang out if you can’t join in, aren’t they? I am not known as a super generous person nor famous.
I CAN UNDERSTAND CAT AND DOG'S LANGUAGE AND SIGNALS
Other me: "Don't tell you are the other Solemen."

I CAN UNDERSTAND CAT AND DOG'S LANGUAGE AND SIGNALS
Other me: "Don't tell you are the other Solemen."
Me: “No. But languages seem to agree more commonly on its interpretation.”
Other me: “Whatchu mean?”
Me: “The Chinese dogs say wang wang. The Slovenians hov hov. The Americans woof woof. The Greek gav gav. The Catalans bup bup. The Indonesians gong gong.”
Other me: “Any dog say hunk hunk?”
Me: “Yea (thinking). Wait. That’s not dogs.... That’s Albanian pigs.”
YOU WILL SEE THIS WEIRD, I TALK TO MYSELF
Not something embarrassing to share. They are a daily ritual of surviving tactics. I talk to myself to keep these voices in the head at bay.
Other me: "Are the voices back yet?"
Me: "No."
Other me: "Bummer..."
Me: "I will irritate someone to irritate me back."
Other me: "Excellent."
It's okay to be weird. When you become a writer your heart and mind are divided into many selves. Not many people can deal with that and that's okay.
Other me: "Did you just irritate someone?"
Me: "Yes."
Other me: "Did the person irritate you back?"
Me: "Yes. Big time. Screwed up everything lol."
Other me: "Are the voices back now?"
Me: "Yes."
Other me: "Excellent."
Me: "Dont say I didn't.. say I didn't.. warn yaaaaaaa...."
SOME PEOPLE SAID MY STUPID BOSS COPIES THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
Mind you, I never read that book. My Stupid Boss is a real life story, non fiction. I haven't gotten the chance to read Indonesian books too. So accusation that I copy this writer and that writer is gak ada itu, gak ada copy siapa-siapa. And I don't bother. When I write or talk I don't think twice. I write and say whatever comes to my mind first.
............ that causes me a lot of troubles lols.
I AM WRITING ANOTHER BOOK FOR AN INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHER
That's all I can say for now :)
MOST PEOPLE DON’T GET MY REAL LIFE JOKE
Other me: “Many people think the Chinese invented so many things.”
Me: “What did they invent?”
Other me: “Chopstick… rickshaw..”
Me: “No, rickshaw was British.”
Other me: “Huh? You are junkie.”
Me: “It was invented by a guy named Rick Shaw, wasn’t it...”
I AM INTO
Travelling oooh I looove travelling! I travel alone to allow me chatting the strangers up. I love to paint, cook and sew too. I sew my own clothes.
