Judulnya sih General Rehearsal..alias Gladi resik...alias GR....
But on the spot....It was waaay more than thaaat...
Tanggal 8 Maret 2014, sehari sebelum acara Penganugerahan Srikandi Blogger 2014 digelar, seluruh panitia, juri, makmin, #10FinalisSB2014 dan para pendukung acara, mulai dari model-model cantiiik nan ayu, penyanyi keyeeen, duo MC dan semua berkumpul di venue or tempat pelaksanaan, Auditorium (basement) Museum Nasional Indonesia.
Sejak malam sebelumnya, social media pun ramaaai dengan status teman-teman, terutama #50FinalisSB2014 yang akan datang khusus ke ibukota untuk hadir dalam acara ini....
Seruuuu bangeet...komplit dengan rencana kedatangan, pengaturan akomodasi, sampai daftar oleh-oleh yang harus dibawa hihihi....
Pertanyaan kalau sampai dari Gambir mau ke A dan ke B, enaknya naik busway, kereta, bus atau angkot, sampai tarif mandi di stasiun dibahas dengan cantiiiiik :D>..Belum lagi pembahasan mengenai dresscode..kebaya atau bukan, udah dapet kostum, jait atau beli, baju nasional seperti apa sih, kalau rok batik masuk ngg ya, selendang boleh kan yaaa ditaruh di atas kepala..dan seterusnya, dan seterusnyaaa..
Salah satu trending topics adalah kaki :D..ya, KAKI... mulai dari ukuran vital si penopang badan yang ternyata hits to the max karena mencapai size 42, hingga pengakuan betapa kaki besar itu cantik dan deretan emak-emak yang ketahuan ukuran kakinya setelah saya menggelar Garage Sale di grup. Hah! :D.
And on the D-Day....sebelum azan subuh berkumandang, WA pun terus buzzing dengan ratusan notifikasi..Ada yang menyambut diri sendiri di Jekardaaah, ada yang foto kakinya yang telah menjejak di ibukota, sampai curcol celingak celinguk di stasiun saat subuh buta karena keretanya kepagian, ada yang langsung sholat ke masjid Istiqlal, ada yang sudah berkumpul dengan keluarga, minta tolong telponin karena kehabisan pulsa, janjian pakai boots dan kaos keceeeh, dan sebagainyaaa, hihihi....Dan berbagai rencana dadakan pun dibuat, sambil menunggu jam 9 pagi...waktunya kami ber-GR riaaa
Aaaah, betapa kami sangat menikmati percakapan gila tapi penuh cinta di grup #50FinalisSB2014 ituuu..yang untungnya masih terus lanjuuut sampai sekarang hihihi...
Theeen, long story short....kami pun berkumpul sejak pukul 9 (bahkan ada yang lebih awal karena datang dari Bandung :D) di tekapeh..
Seruuuuuu...karena bertabur peluk, cipak cipiki, apa kabaaar, tukar oleh-oleh, perkenalan baru dengan teman-teman dunia maya yang akhirnya jadi teman dunia nyata, sampai menggelar dagangan huahahaha...ada yang nyeletuk, ini seperti pasar malem plus ajang jumpa fans sodara-sodaraaa....#ayongakuuu :D>..
Sungguh...love is in the air....saat saya menulis ini, ada banyak cinta yang membuncah karena rasa kekeluargaan yang begitu kental memenuhi dada saya...mata mberebes sudah biasa kan :p..
Pertanyaan yang paling banyak diajukan sepertinya juga lagi-lagi urusan kaki hihihi....bener ngg sih ada yang kakinya ukuran 42 huahahahaha...#pelukMakkandi Punky :D>..

Duo MC juga ngga mau kalah dooong...persiapan dengan rundown minute by minute juga dilakukan. Semuanya di bawah komando Makketupan cantik, mak Haya Aliya Zaki, yang totally all out mempersiapkan acara ini...

Be back with more on Srikandi Blogger 2014
And finally... March 9, 2014!
It's the D-Day.... For the inauguration of Srikandi Blogger 2014...
For those who haven't heard of Srikandi Blogger, or just have a hint on it, allow me to proudly explain how incredibly inspiring this event is. Initiated last year as part of the anniversary of Kumpulan Emak Blogger - a celebrated group of Indonesian female bloggers, this event has invited female bloggers to participate in a contest where the most inspiring, most blogger will be selected as Srikandi, a heroine in traditional Javanese culture.
From hundreds of participants, 50 has been selected in the first batch, trimmed down to 10 finalists before the final round.
Tasked with various blogging activities, ranging from simple introduction, self-promotion to blogging on the issue of women and internet to creating video about what you will do if you were selected as Srikandi Blogger 2014, participants were again invited to get out of their comfort zones and explored the new world of possibilities...Resulting in numbers of colorful and inspiring entries indeed.
This is THE event where you have the opportunity to actually meet, greet and have (lotsa) fuun to soo many inspiring women from different walks of lives and backgrounds ..... sharing the same passion, blogging!
And after series of stages the finalists have to go through, the final day was last Sunday...
And what a day indeed...
Full of energy, enthusiasm, creativity and lotsa lotsa love, love, and love..
As most female (as well as male, of course ;)) bloggers from different parts of Indonesia gathered and were ready to rumbleeee...
The event itself was packed with soooo many beautiful displays of creativity among members of Kumpulan Emak Blogger, famously known as KEB.
Being there as one of the 10 Finalists of Srikandi Blogger 2014 is such a rewarding experience..perhaps, once in a lifetime opportunity as well..
And Pungky Prayitno, a mother of a cute son Jiwo, a women's rights true activist, a social media darling, and an avid blogger is our Srikandi Blogger 2014...
Yaaay, congratulations, nduuk :D, so proud of you..
Well, before I spill more beans on this incredible event, let me share some photos first...
After a lovely preparation a day a head - which I will share on another posting..or I rather had posted it :D...
