Belum lama ini ternyata dia ada di Amerika, di satu kota di East Coast.  Taunya dia disitu, lewat alumni grup di Yahoo.  Gara-gara ada berita temen lama yang baru nikah, tau-tau ada kabar dia disini.  Langsung saya tanyain nomor telfonnya selagi dia disini.  Terus dia kasih.  Saya telfon, ... http://westlinn.multiply.com/journal/item/456/Jawab_atau_tidak_jawab_itu_pertanyaannya Sat, 28 Jun 2008 05:25:01 -0000 Yehe!

I got along pretty well with her because in the beginning she helped a lot.  Having another pair of hands made my job easier especially since I was a beginner.  After a couple of people quit, she didn't help me so much but during lunchtime we still got together and talked.  She is a very tall woman with a nice body and she frequently models as a 30's movie actress in the entertainment industry.  We talked about children, her ex-husband's quirkiness and not soo good behaviors, and she often discussed her situation with men because she was pursuing a serious relationship. It ... http://westlinn.multiply.com/journal/item/452/One_sad_day Sun, 15 Jun 2008 05:01:46 -0000 Moby - Natural Blues Oh Lordy, trouble so hard Oh Lordy, trouble so hard, Don't nobody know my troubles but God Don't nobody know my troubles but God Went down the hill, the other day My soul got happy and stayed all day Oh Lordy...
