Dear Mr. Muh. Naim


Jakarta, 1st January 2011

THANK YOU.  Is the first word I’d  like to say to you, not only suitable but also catchable as an introduction phrase when i have to make my fingers started moving onto my old keyboard (well, can say so, because  it took  a few minutes until I got that word and typed it with caps lock.. *laugh). I did not really mean to show off my English writing ability or tell you that this 25-year-old girl has a good grammatical in english. No.. not at all.. (just tell your translator I’ve just ignored those ordinances) .

When my friend asked me to apply an application letter to the Health n Tourism magazine for the first time I was feeling that it’s gonna be my second shot to get back my activities life as a journalist. Yup,  accompanied by my friend I decided to look  for your luxurious office through long and curled road  (before we got to kemang we had to walk around along Fatmawati street  then found it) it was late of night and we just arrived to our destination (an elegant building with all the partition wrapped by white colour). I have no idea whether it’s a coincidence event or not but you were talking to security guard as I came passing into gateway where you’re standing at. By putting on your casual outfits you accepted my CV with a smile upon your face (Such a nice man that I was thinking at that moment) made my self more confident that I have a huge chance to get this job.

And my dream became closer when a few weeks later you called me by phone to come for interview and I’m absolutely positive that my application letter must have been considered. On the next day I went to your office with eagerness and enthusiasm, hoped that it would be great day for me. By having three times changes of  transportation ( I took buses and bajaj to get there)  for what I didn’t really care about. I walked into the lobby room and encountered with your editorial secretary. Like a common applicant usually did. She asked me to sit and wait.

For several minutes you came downstairs and we met up each other. I got interviewed and you started asking me with bla..bla..bla  (some questions), shortly after that you said “YES” to me by giving me the last question “ Are you ready start working by now?”

I didn’t give you an answer but suddenly  after that  straight  to the point you talked about my minus look. Since the first  time you noticed my appearance from head to toe and advised me to change them I realized that it might be a crucial problem that I was supposed to know from the beginning.

As I told you before that I am a girl (not yet a woman) who never put any cosmetics on my face during my life existence in this world, even for a lipstic (hehehe..I really don't).  And I always been feeling pleasant of that. I never brings a sweet briefcase or handbag like  normal chicks out there when they have to go hangout or attending a wedding party  of a friend. I still relish to carry my obsolete backpack whenever I go. I’m not a girl who’s always concerned about what kind of outfits should be displayed for today or tomorrow. And for that, various stamps will be directed to me as an out date, ancient, old fashioned or maybe  worse than that  a naive and hypocritical young lady standing  across with a class of people who’s always glorify a hedonism or whatever it says. For the sake of my sanity I  would not be mind at all if you really.. really.. think  about my self like that.

Related to the first word, I’d like to say THANK YOU for accepting me as a new journalist in your magazine. It’s  an honor to me. But I’ve been thinking for a while then I just got found you do not have to bear the burden up every day because I cannot give you a new present of me  like you wanted me to do even though your highfalutin magazine will  give  me more rupiahs for that. I’d rather not to change the way I dressed though you’ve already judged  the clothing I wear with pride. for me working as a journalist in a magazine particulary a life style magazine is not all about changing a life into the new trend it self. I’m completely sure GOD will show me the way to work as a journalist but in a different place and time. For once more THANK YOU.
