Hari Senin kmrn boleh dibilang hari yang cukup berkesan buat gue. Salah satu hari yang tidak akan terlupakan.
Soalnya dulu pas zaman sekolah dari SD ampe SMA gue suka ama Backstreet Boys, dan akhirnya sekarang kesampean juga ketemu mereka.

Berawal dari postingan yang didapat dari Sony BMG kalo bisa ikut kuis meet ‘n greet with Backstreet Boys, gue nyoba ikutan. Meski gak terlalu ngarep menang, apalagi tau kuis itu udah pas hari2 terakhir menjelang kedatangan mereka ke Indo, dan soalnya yang ikutan pasti banyak, jawabannya juga pasti bagus2, dan kalo gue menang, apa boleh gue ke Jakarta?

Tapi tanpa disangka, Jumat siang mengirim, malamnya langsung ditelepon, katanya gue bisa ketemu BSB. Wuihh.. seneng donk pastinya. Yang selama ini cuma bisa dengerin lagu2 mereka ato nonton di TV/VCD, skrg bisa liat langsung. Kelar interview sebentar dan saat gue blm confirm kalo gue bisa dateng, gue tanya apa boleh bawa temen. Trs katanya boleh.
Selesai ditelpon, langsung gue ajak temen2 gue yang gue tau mereka suka ama BSB juga. Wah, mereka girang banget..
Mulai deh mikirin soal nyari travel bareng buat ke Jakartanya. Sedikit harus cepat juga krn acaranya hari Senin.
Krn sudah malam, obrolan pun akan dilanjutkan bsk.

Minggu-nya, gue confirm ke orang Sony BMG kalo gue bisa dateng, sekaligus nanya lagi bener gak kalo boleh bawa temen. Tapi ternyata oh ternyata, tidak boleh. Gue sempet DEG! untuk sepersekian detik, kaget! Apalagi udah ngajak bbrp temen gue.
Dgn berat hati gue bilang ke temen gue kalo ternyata mereka gak boleh ikut. Tp syukurlah ortu gue sendiri mau nganterin ke Jakarta. Thank you so much!

Senin-nya, dr pagi langsung ke Jakarta. Jujur, baru sekali ini gue pergi ke Jakarta pagi2 jam 7 lewat jalan tol, macetnya minta ampun! Kalo biasa 2 jam udah nyampe. Skrg ampe 3 jam.
Jalan2 ke Senayan City dan Plasa Senayan, ngabisin waktu sebelum ke JCC jam 4.30.

The concert ticket that I got

Waktupun tiba, gue sampe di JCC. Ternyata sudah banyak yg ngantri, mau dapet first row. Calo juga banyak, yg jualan tiket maupun kaos BSB.
Gue ketemu ama orang Sony BMG, Mas Nabil. Syukurlah, semuanya berjalan lancar.
Gue kenalan ama bbrp orang disana, dan seneng juga bisa ketemu teman di radio OZ yg dulu sering kirim2an imel, Claudia Lengkey.

Nunggu ampe jam 5, kita disuruh ngantri dan dibagi ke bbrp grup. Maklum, yg bisa meet ‘n greet banyak banget. Ada sekitar 40-an orang lebih gitu.. Dr berbagai kota, radio2, pihak label, dll. Lalu masuklah kita ke dalam. Dan oh! Akhirnya, ngeliat juga Backstreet Boys asli dgn mata kepala sendiri. Senangnya. Buru2 ngeluarin kamera. Meski katanya gak boleh motret, tp karena ngeliat yg laen pada motret2, ya udah gue ikutan aja.

Awal2nya, kita asyik2an ngeliatin mereka lagi breafing, rehearsing, dan ada yg teriak2 manggil nama2 mereka.
Terus mereka nyapa kita,”Hello, Jakarta!”. Dan mulai nanya, mau nyanyiin lagu apa. Kontan saja, kita pada teriak2 nyebutin judul2 lagu BSB. Gue gak ngerti kenapa kok gue malah sekenceng2nya nyebut Backstreet’s Back. Gak mungkin gitu mereka mau nyanyi lagu itu. Harusnya lagu2 baru dr album baru mereka. Mereka sempet nyanyi 2-3 baris dr 1-2 lagu, More Than That gitu? Ama I Still. Langsung deh semuanya pada bersorak-sorai. Terus mereka mulai nyanyi lagu full ‘Helpless When She Smiles’. Langsung deh kita semua pada teriak2 gak jelas. Hahaha… Kedengerannya mungkin katro emang. Tp itu bener2 refleks abis. Begitu juga pas mereka nyanyi ‘Incomplete’ dan ‘Inconsolable’, wah langsung deh pada nyanyi bareng2 semua.

Doing the rehearsal

Yang paling banyak gaya itu Nick Carter, mike-nya dijadiin gitar dan pas nyanyi terakhir, suaranya digetarin entah bagaimana dan melengking, lama banget, ampe Howie nyamperin dan narik kulit tenggorokannya sambil ketawa. Mungkin maksudnya biar berenti dan menjaga suara. Gawat donk kalo ampe suaranya abis (meski rasanya gak mungkin) gara2 nyanyi kayak gitu.

Sementara yang paling down to earth itu Brian. Soalnya di paling rajin nyapa kita2 dan pasang sejuta senyum. Asli deh, ramah banget!

Selesai nyanyi2, masuk ke sesi tanya jawab fans. Yg pertama Brian. Ada yg nanya gimana mereka bisa bertahan dan apa dia punya album solo. Lalu dijawab Brian.
Yg kedua ada yg nanya ke Nick Carter. Gue lupa pertanyaannya apa. Apa menyangkut solo album juga ya? *lupa* Lalu dijawab.
Yg ketiga, gue beruntung bisa dapet giliran, tp pas dapetnya Howie. Sempet bingung juga krn gue gak siap2 mau nanya apa.

Akhirnya, tadinya gue mau nanya, karena Brian dan Nick udah punya album solo, bagaimana dgn Howie dan AJ selama masa itu? Maen film ato tetep berkarier dlm musik ato apa..
Tp gue gak tau knp, yg keluar dr mulut gue malah,”After Brian and Nick record eh, released a solo album, what about Howie and AJ do?” (atau kurang lebih seperti itu). Alhasil mereka jadinya salah nangkep.
Brian langsung nyeletuk,”Wow, that’s a tough question”, sambil gue dlm hati mikir, tough dr mananya?
Terus Nick ikutan nyeletuk,”It seems that you want all of us to have a solo album.”
Gue mau ngoreksi pertanyaan, tp mike-nya udah keburu diambil ama manager-nya BSB ato entah siapa yg cewek itu.

Lalu Howie pun menjawab pertanyaan panjang lebar yg lagi2 hanya tertangkap oleh gue, dia sedang berencana bikin album solo dgn tipe2 Spanish-English. Lalu gue tanya soal MySpace (yg pertama dia kira “my son”), trs gue koreksi maksudnya apa dia naro di MySpace, lalu dia menjawab entah apa, hahaha… Asli da… gue gak tau apa kemampuan bahasa Inggris gue yg menurun apa suara mereka yg kecil dlm menjawab pertanyaan sehingga gue gak ngerti yg dia omongin, blm lagi ditambah teriakan orang2 di blkg,”Friendster, Friendster, jangan MySpace.”
Kelar Howie ngejawab, diikuti dgn Nick Carter yg untuk kesekian kalinya gue gak ngerti sepatah katapun yg dia ucapkan, juga dgn sikapnya yg…. maaf, songong… (semoga gue cuma salah sangka saja)
Yah, akhirnya dia ngomong apa, gue cuma bisa senyum2 kaku. Gak ada yg bisa nerjemahin buat gue.
Lepas dr itu pertanyaan buat AJ. Tp krn jauh, gue gak merhatiin.

Selesai sesi tanya jawab, ceritanya masuklah ke yg namanya beneran meet ‘n greet. Tapi apa yang terjadi?
Ternyata gak ada yg namanya ketemuan perorangan dan tidak ada pembagian tanda tangan. Fotopun harus dari kamera merekanya, dilarang dr kamera kita sendiri. Langsung deh ada yg nyeletuk,”Pelit ah.” “Sombong”. Dan laen sebagainya.
Biarpun begitu, seneng gak seneng, tetep dijalanin. So, kita ngantri buat difoto per grup saja kayak ngantri sembako.

Brian, the friendliest one!

Giliran gue tiba dan gue salamin mereka satu persatu. Jadi rasanya seperti bukan meet ‘n greet, tp kayak “meet ‘n shake hand” aja. Pertama ama AJ yg nanyain How are you dgn ramahnya. Ternyata dia baek juga ya.. Hahahahaha… Dan kalo diliat dr deket, wuiiihhhh… cakkeepp.. Hahaha.. Mulai deh..
Udah gitu Nick Carter yg cuma “Hi” doank. Berhubung gue terlanjur ‘ilfil’, jadi males juga, hehe.
Trs ke Howie, yg sama2 nanyain How are you-nya dgn senyumnya yg manis.
Dan terakhir Brian yg arrgghh… bikin hati meleleh
Krn barisan sudah penuh, gue cuma bisa foto di dpn. Gak tau hrs ngadep kamera yg mana krn banyak. Ya sudah, liat aja deh.. Dan cuma sekali lagi motretnya. Menyedihkan sekali. Selesai itu, kita disuruh pergi. Gue nyalamin Brian lagi sambil bilang “good luck for the concert”. Dengan senyuman super ramahnya, dia bilang “Thank you. Nice to meet you.”
Man, he’s like an angel! Kebanyakan pada setuju, Brian-lah yang paling ramah, tidak sombong, dan paling baik, dan selalu memasang jurus senyumnya. Always stay the same, Brian!

Selesai juga meet ‘n shake hand-nya. Sempet nyesel karena gak ngobrol dikit ama mereka krn terpaku pada aturan. Blm lagi, kalo denger2 cerita temen2 yang ketemu mereka yang ampe bisa ngobrol dan gak sekedar hanya salaman, wuihh.. sedih rasanya.. Tp apa mau dikata, nasi sudah menjadi bubur.
Apalagi gue gak bisa nonton konser mereka krn malam banget. Jam 8. Wuihh… Harus balik ke Bandung secepatnya.
They say, at least you meet them, right? Ya.. bener juga.

Tapi lepas dr kekecewaan yang didapat, tidak dapat dipungkiri kalau mereka punya karisma seorang bintang, yg meskipun kita2 dibuat kecewa oleh mereka, tapi kita tetep mengaguminya. Apalagi bila mengingat suara mereka yang ternyata memang TOP!
Selama ini terkadang kalo gue nonton live in concert mereka di TV, suaranya kok rasanya kurang bagus ya? Tp hari itu dengerin mereka nyanyi live, suara mereka bener2 bagus (semua personelnya, termasuk Howie yg boleh dikatakan jarang dapet giliran buat nyanyi dibandingkan Brian, Nick, dan AJ), dan berhasil membuat kita dgn refleksnya teriak2 krn saking kagumnya dan bertepuk tangan. Dan menyanyi bersama tanpa perlu disuruh. Pdhl itu cuma rehearsal, tp mereka tampil poll, sehingga kita menikmati performance mereka.

Gue berterima kasih banyak buat Sony BMG Indonesia atas kesempatannya dan hadiahnya dan Jesus for His blessing
Buat temen gue, Maya, yg udah ngebantu ngasih tau jalan ke JCC, thx juga.

Seriously, college is all I think about now. College and life and death and dying and Goddamn I’m sick of it. I’m ready to be done with college and I haven’t even started it yet. I’m hoping that’s a good omen in the long run, though, because that’s the way I felt about prom exactly and I ended up having a blast.

But there’s just so much stress involved. If KT tells me one more time “you need to relax” I’m going to punch Colton in the face, because if it weren’t for him she’d be the same as before.

But life is life and it changes and so do people so I’d better suck it up and move on. God.

At least I’m talking to boys, though. That might help me relax (Jesus Christ).

Relaxing isn’t what I’m supposed to be doing, though. I’m supposed to be working, supposed to be doing everything I can to beat my way into a great school.

My mom told me today that I’m going to end up pumping gas. She told me to go to JCC for free. And meant it.

I’m just not even going to think about that. There’s no way. Just no fucking way I could go there. After all of my dreaming, all of my hard work, to throw it away, for that place?! I know I probably don’t know what I’m saying when I say this, but I’d rather be in debt for the rest of my life and do what I love than go somewhere to learn how to do a nine to five job and get plastered every weekend for free.

God. And there’s just no way I could throw away everything I’ve hoped for and thought of and wished for with all of my heart. Just because of money.

I know money’s important, and my mom would say I’m stupid and have no concept of it because I’ve never had to get a job, never had to make the money to support myself.

Well I guess I’ll figure that all out next year, won’t I? I haven’t gotten any experience with it so far, huh?

The way I figure it, I’ll either sink or float next year. I’ll either succeed or suck and come back home to pump gas.

But I’ll be damned if I don’t try to be all that I can. It’ll be like the dream where I died and watched everyone standing around, shaking their heads and mourning, “What a waste of potential.”

Well, here’s news. I’m not dead.

And I have all the potential in the world. I plan to put it to use.

Suck onnnnn that.

Byron Scott is the new head coach of the JCC basketball team, the Lady Shofars, after getting fired by the Hornets.

If there is one person who should believe in karma, it’s former New Orleans Hornets Coach Byron Scott.

In just the first game in the post-Scott era, New Orleans did not get the “fresh start” it thought it so deservedly needed. Guard and franchise player Chris Paul sprained his left ankle in an 86-78 loss to the Portland Trailblazers and is expected to be out 1-2 weeks.

An overwhelming majority of fans, NBA owners and personnel thought the 2007 NBA Coach of the Year got the raw end of the deal, following the immediate aftereffect of his team’s paltry 3-6 start, which led to his demise.

Although the Hornets had the third-most difficult schedule at the time of Scott’s firing (.581 opponents winning percentage), Team president Hugh Weber was looking to go in a new direction.

“We appreciate Byron [Scott] and what he did for the New Orleans community,” Weber said in a press conference, “but New Orleans is a winning city and we weren’t winning games. It’s pretty embarrassing for a basketball team to have fewer wins [3] than its neighboring football team.”

The Saints are 8-0 this season.

Scott was disappointed in the abrupt decision, but spent little time on the market after Rabbi Ben David, a member of the Shimon and Sara Birnbaum Jewish Community Center In Bridgewater, N. J., convinced him to take a job as a head basketball coach because it would “be a great learning experience for him.”

“It’s an exciting day for New Jersey and all of Bridgewater,” Rabbi David said. “While we were hoping to acquire someone who has a little more experience coaching at the JCC level, this is certainly a positive step.”

The last time Scott was in New Jersey, he was packing his bags after getting fired for a “slow” 24-22 start in the 03-04 season, following two consecutive NBA Finals appearances. Nonetheless, he was elated to find out that he would make his return to the Garden State by taking over the reins as head coach for the JCC under-16 women’s basketball team.

“These girls finished in third place last season, which is an amazing accomplishment, but I’m looking forward to helping them improve even more,” Scott said. “As soon as Tracy Cohen gets her braces off, we can really start getting into gear.”

The Shofars finished 3-3 last year, good for third place in the five-team league.

Scott is optimistic that as long as he doesn’t win a JCC Coach of the Year Award, his job will most likely be secure. Over the past seven years, every year, the recipient of either the JCC or NBA Coach of the Year Award has been fired (see chart at end of article for more details).

“I just have to focus on the present,” Scott said. “The NBA and JCC League are two entirely different entities, despite a very similar mentality and physicality.”

The Bridgeport JCC cannot offer any monetary salary to Scott, but it will be able to offer him something of even greater significance.

“They said that I will get 50 percent off of all Shabbat dinners as long as I’m head coach,” the former Lakers star said. “I’ve never had a Shabbat dinner before, but I hear they have this amazing bread that looks like Princess Leia’s hair. I think you are supposed to ‘holla’ in the air every time you’re about to eat it or something like that.”

There are five Shabbat dinners that overlap the season.

With Hornets superstar Chris Paul getting injured in 100 percent of the games he’s played without his former coach by his side, perhaps it was a blatant sign that basketball teams should simply never fire Scott.

Meanwhile, the Nets have won as many basketball games this season as the New York Jets.

2009 JCC Coach of the Year Noah Goldstein was forced to take a leave of absence after a summer league game, when he joked during a press conference that he would think about scheduling a game on Shabbos for the right amount of money.

Welcome to my blog!!!

This being my first post, I feel obligated to give a bio-like thingy here. My name is Toni. I am a 25 year old crossdresser living in Jamestown, NY. I go to Jamestown Community College and work in the theater there. I have spent the past several years of my life as a conservative christian, a decision which I now regret. I have become a deist, which means I do believe in a deity, but a creator deity only with no personal interaction with humans.

I say that to say this, I have been in the binge-purge cycle that several crossdressers go though. I feel that these were mainly caused by my christian beliefs. I had no ability to accept myself for who I am and, therefore, no self-confidence to be myself around anybody. I would repress these feelings to the ⁿth degree until, inevitably, they would explode and disrupt life as I knew it.

I am also currently married to a beautiful woman. We will be divorcing, not because we have no love, but because being transgendered is not a quality she wants in a spouse, and that’s ok with me. We were married on the pretense that I was going to ‘beat it because we have god on our side’. Harumph. We are still friends and roommates and, for the time, spouses. So as we separate and move on with life, you will get to read about it here.

I will also post several pictures here so you can see me.

ad omnis par,

Det var meget vådt og blæsende, da jeg til morgen stak næsten ud på tagterrassen. Et øjeblik overvejede jeg at droppe Grippen. Men nu havde jeg betalt 100 kr., så jeg pakkede mit gear og startede volvoen med kurs mod Alsønderup. Det er mærkeligt, men det er ofte sådan, at når jeg har mindst lyst, får jeg den bedste oplevelse på MTB. I dag var ingen undtagelse. Det blev et godt løb, trods regn og blæst, eller måske derfor. Jeg sad med overskud hele vejen. Alfa og omega i tonserløb som Grippen er at finde sammen med en god gruppe, og jeg fandt ret hurtigt, efter vi var kommet ind i skoven, sammen med en lille flok ret jævnbyrdige ryttere. Den gruppe holdt stort set sammen, indtil vi kom ud af skoven igen og ud på de sidste 2,5 km asfaltvej op til mål. Her stak to ryttere af, og jeg kom med på hjul. Efter 1 km faldt ham, der havde trukket, fra, og den anden trak mig nu op til en lille gruppe, som vi sad sammen med til den lille bakke op til mål. Her var jeg så ubeskeden at overspurgte ham, der havde trukket mig frem – tror det var Daniel Smith fra Team Hustler. Men hvad, det kan vel nok undes en gammel mand med overskud til slut? Man bliver ikke hurtigere med årene, men måske sejere.

i came to JCC’s kitchen for a study visit. AND ITS SO COOL, to see the big kitchen underground, and the division rooms (meat, bakery, pastry, ..)  the chefs were kind too.

Beberapa waktu yang lalu, melalui beberapa teman yang sudah online di FaceBook, saya mendapatkan nomor telepon sahabat karib sewaktu di SMA dulu. Baca Lengkap ? Sahabatku ini, sudah lama tidak berjumpa, terutama setelah ia melanjutkan studi di Bandung. Tapi, Subhanallah, akhirnya saya bisa kontak lagi dengannya setelah 22 tahun-an meninggalkan bangku SMA.
Senang hati saya mendengar kabarnya, kini ia menjadi PNS di Departemen Koperasi, bahkan sudah menjadi Kepala Seksi. SUWITRO, SE, MSi, itulah nama sahabatku yang satu ini.
Secara kebetulan, setelah terjadi kontak, ia ada keperluan mewakili Kepala Dinas Departemen Koperasi Kabupaten Subang Jawa Barat sekaligus mendampingi koperasi binaannya dalam ajang pameran tahunan di JCC (Jakarta Convention Center) Jakarta, mulai Rabu hingga Minggu, 14-18 Oktober 2009.
Dengan begitu semangatnya, ia ingin sekali berjumpa di Jakarta dalam kesempatan itu, meskipun tidak banyak waktu. Keruan saja, saya pun menyanggupi untuk bertemu karena memang tidak terlalu jauh dengan tempat saya mengajar.
Akhirnya, Rabu 14 Oktober 2009, setelah selesai dengan tugas di sekolah, saya bersiap menjumpainya di JCC menjelang zhuhur. Setelah beberapa kali kontak dan janjian, kami pun bertemu.
Salam dan peluk erat tentulah menjadi “ritual” wajib saat pertama kali saling berjumpa. Agak berlinang air mata ini melihatnya kembali setelah sekian lama. Ia kini bukan lagi seperti saya lihat sewaktu 22 tahun lalu. Ia sudah lebih dewasa meskipun agak terlihat sedikit kurus. Ia, kini sudah menjadi pejabat, Subhanallah…
Kantin, tentu saja menjadi sasaran yang kami tuju untuk lebih banyak waktu ngobrol sekaligus waktunya makan siang. Di sana, kami melepaskan kerinduan dengan menceritakan bagian-bagian terheboh dalam hidup kami masing-masing, dari masalah pribadi, keluarga hingga pekerjaan.
Setelah cukup lama, kami masih melanjutkan obrolan sambil menuju masjid yang ada di dalam lokasi JCC untuk shalat zhuhur. Di masjid selepas shalat pun masih juga hangat melanjutkan obrolan. Mumpung juga ada kesempatan, kami pun berjalan keliling menikmati suasana pameran industri kreatif kerajinan hasil karya anak bangsa. Hasil karya home industry lebih mendominasi isi pameran, mulai dari kerajinan tangan, batik, songket, tikar, ukiran, hingga yag agak berbau teknologi modern.
Kebiasaan dulu sewaktu SMA suka mentraktir jajan di sekolah, masih juga tampak. Setelah melihat pameran batik, buru-buru ia mencarikan batik untuk saya, untuk kenangan ujarnya. Saya pun menerimanya denga sukacita. Kerupuk Palembang pun dibelikannya untuk anak-anakku.
Menjelang pukul 15.00wib ia pun harus segera pulang, akhirnya kami pun harus mengakhiri perbincangan penuh rasa kangen yang sudah mulai terobati. Saya lebih dahulu berpamitan padanya dan rombongan yang ikut serta dengannya. Sambil bersalaman erat, saya mengucapkan salam perpisahan sambil saling berjanji untuk terus melakukan kontak.
Alhamdulillah, satu fragmen liku kehidupan telah terjalani hari ini, tinggal saya menyimpulkan, apakah akan menjadikannya sebagai pelajaran yang penuh makna? ataukah hanya sesuatu yang harus lewat begitu saja dalam hidup ini.
Yang jelas, saya mendapat pelajaran berharga dari obrolan santainya. Ia berkata, “Zay, apa yang saya dapat hari ini, mungkin karunia Allah atas yang telah saya lakukan belasan tahun lalu. Saya betekad, saya melakukan komitmen pekerjaan sepenuh hati, tanpa memikirkan apa dan berapa yang saya dapat. Dan, waktu kerjaku lebih dari sekedar 12 jam per-hari untuk melayani”. Itulah rupanya yang telah ia lakukan, sebuah langkah memantaskan diri untuk mendapatkan karunia seperti sekarang ini, dan mungkin karunia-karunia berikutnya, insya Allah amin.
Selamat jalan sahabatku, aku banyak belajar hari ini, semoga kita selalu bisa menjalani hal terbaik dalam hidup ini, selagi masih diberi kesempatan, amin.

Décidément beaucoup de nouveautés dans les JCC (CCG en V.O.), après WoM dont je vous parle ci-dessous, c’est Upper Deck qui va une nouvelle fois frapper un grand coup en lançant un jeu de cartes basé sur les héros Marvel (Iron Man, Hulk, Captain America,…) : Marvel Superstars
Ils ont même fait un petit trailer qui “déchire”, j’ai déjà envie d’avoir la carte Iron Man dans mon jeu

Je vous ai déjà parlé de Wizards of Mickey (WoM) un nouveau JCC (jeu de cartes à jouer à collectionner) basé sur l’univers de Mickey. Il est désormais disponible dans différents points de vente. Je vais essayer de me procurer le starter de démarrage aujourd’hui pour me faire une idée de la chose.
La question est WoM fera t’il un carton ou un bide? Mickey sera t’il plus fort que les Orcs, Humains, Mages, Planeswalker, Dragons,… qui pullulent sur les tables de jeu?

setelah lebaran, sejumlah tempat pameran langsung menggelar pameran dengan berbagai tajuk

dan ‘dikeroyok” dengan berbagai tema.

yuks mampir ke JCC….

Pesanan ini terancam batal dikarenakan Edo mau pergi ke Lampung,  dan menunggu konfirmasi dari Fona H-2 ‘n ternyata konfirmasinya JADI! hehehe
