Siang itu Kamis 13 Juni 2013 adalah hari yang sudah dijadwalkan untuk interview di US embassy untuk grantee dari Jakarta, Bogor & Depok. Teman-teman dari luar JABODETABEK under consortium CCC dan NWCCI sudah lebih dulu interview ketika PDO berlangsung yaitu pada 10-12 Juni 2013.
Kami dijadwalkan interview jam 2 siang dan harus sudah sampai di embassy jam 1 siang. Aku datang jam 1 kurang dan beberapa teman-teman lain sudah ada disana. Aku datang dengan mata yang masih ditutup perban sebelah, mataku masih bengkak karena insiden ketika PDO waktu kmrn.
Deg-degan juga apakah kondisi mata satu ini akan mempengaruhi penilaian mereka apakah aku pantas di kasih visa atau tidak :D
Kami peserta CCIP begabung menjadi 1 kelompok supaya lebih mudah ketika dipanggil interview. Pertama kita akan menyerahkan paspor dan DS 2019 kita, setelahnya kita akan dipanggil untuk finger print. Setelah itu kita dipanggil kembali untuk interview oleh petugas, aku kedapetan petugas yang ramah sekali, dia afro american yang murah senyum ;)) Alhamdulilaah...tapi penginterview sebelah si Ibu Blonde itu juga baik hati kok, murah sneyum, so ketakutan kalo petugas interview visa jutek-jutek sama sekali tidak terbukti!
Pertanyaan pertama si petugas visa:
1. Hi how are you? What happen with your eyes? ya iyaaalah ditanyain orang mata cuma satu kayak pirates begituu. Langsung aku jawab i;m doing good, but i bumped in to glass window a couple of days ago
2. Where are you going to study? I said California, City College Of San Francisco
3. What are you studying? I said Social media marketing
That's it then he said well, have a great time there!
It took only 1-2 minutes!
Jawab singkat saja, to the point :) Ada sih embak2 yang jawabnya puanjaaang padahal pertanyaannya sama dan singkat, well it's up to you sih mau jawab pendek apa panjang. I prefer simple, to the point, jelas menjawab pertanyaan si petugas.
Lalu kartu putih itu diberikan kepadaku, hey San Francisco I'm coming to you!
Sekarang tinggal menunggu e-ticket dikirimkan untuk tahu tanggal fix keberangkatan ;)
Hasta Pronto!

CCIP 2013 Selected Candidate Notification
23 May 2013, I got selected!
Siang hari teman sesama nominasi CCIP 2013 yaitu Tari (Astari Rosmalina) sudah memberitahukan bahwa dia sudah mendapatkan email notifikasi dari Aminef yang menyatakan bahwa dia sudah selected dan akan di tempatkan di City College Of San Francisco, yaay I'm so happy for her!
Dimana saat itu aku sedang meeting di luar kantor maka tidak mungkin aku membuka email pribadi untuk mengecek apakah aku dapat email tersebut atau tidak. Beberapa teman-teman di grup juga sudah mulai memberitahukan bahwa mereka sudah dapat email selectednya. Aku mencoba fokus pada pekerjaan dan berusaha tenang sampai nanti waktunya aku tiba di kantor dan diam-diam akan cek email juga :)
Akhirnya jam 4 sore aku tiba di kantor, dengan peraasaan yg tidak karuan aku coba tetap tenang untuk membuka email, nothing to lose apakah terpilih atau tidak. Yang terpikir adalah kegalauan dan ketidakpastian selama 5 bulan ini akan segera berakhir, jika tidak terpilihpun aku akan melanjutkan hidupku, kalau terpilih maka aku harus memberitahukan orang tua serta pacarku dan berdiskusi bagaimana nanti rencana menikah taun depan
Ketika aku buka ternyata ada email Aminef dengan memberitahukan aku Selected candidate CCIP 2013, baru lihat subjeknya aku sudah mengucap syukur, dan ternyata email itu sudah masuk dari sebelum jam 12 siang namun aku tidka sempat membukanya.
Perlahan-lahan aku buka email dan mulai membacanya, alhamdulilah aku dapat di city college San Francisco walaupun sedikit meleset dari perkiraan aku akan ditempatkan di Northern Virginia karena akan belajar Social Media. Anyway, di syukuri saja, sudah bisa sekolah ke US dengan dibiayai saja sudah merupakan anugerah :)
Ini email cinta Aminef yang akhirnya menjawab teka-teki serta kegalauan para Nominee selama 5 bulan ini.

Summer in Oviedo,Spain
Oviedo, 28 July 2010
First impression when I arrived in Oviedo was wooow this city was very clean and tidy! I found almost no garbage in the street when I was walking from the bus station to my sharing flat.
I was very lucky to choose Oviedo as the city that I would like to study in, because it is a small charming city, I wouldn't need transportation to get around the city, we could walk to go every where in the city, and it is relatively cheaper comparing to the bigger cities such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia.
I was very lucky too that I managed to find a sharing flat which is only 5 minutes walk to my campus, again it was cheap only 200 euro per month including all bills (electricity, internet etc)..wasn't it great?
You can easily find your own flat or sharing flat through internet and visit website such as easypiso or when you arrive you can look the board at the university, every pat of university will be an advertisement on sharing flat, trust me it is easy. I even helped my german friend Moritz to find sharing flat near the campus, it was a piece of cake :)
The old building in yellow color is my campus where I study Spanish Language and Culture, It is Universidad de Oviedo, Milan Campus. Oviedo is city of sculpture, we can easily find beautiful sculptures in the centre of the city even every corner, the sculpture in the picture is located in Plaza Escandalera, which is the meeting point of us, and it is from the famous colombian artist Fernando Botero.
Anyway, school was very exciting, I met international students from all around the world, I mingled easily. Hahahha even in our first day of school we went to the nearest city Gijon to play in the beach! Oviedo has no beach if we want to go to the beach, the nearest is Gijon, about 40 minutes away by bus and it cost 4 euro for return ticket. There is plenty of buses from Oviedo to Gijon or vise versa, I'm not really sure but I think the buses operate until 10-11 pm in the weekdays and up to late in the weekends. We went to Gijon very often after school or during the weekend.
The amount of scholarships that I received is excellent, with the money it will allow you to have a decent student life heheh (meaning eating out, go to clubs, shopping and travelling). I felt blessed!
This was one of my dream to experience study in europe at the same time exploring other part of europe without paying, in this case I got a scholarships :)
I choose Oviedo because I watched Vicky Christina Barcelona movie, why not Barcelona? Because Oviedo sounds more mysterius and exotic for me, not as famous as Barcelona which I think most people know the city. And I really love Oviedo :))
As student, my classes start at 9am, I got a break (El descanso) around 11.30am then continue my classes until 2pm. During the break we go to the nearest supermarket to buys some pastries and water then we sit down in the park, eating and talking, as you can see in the picture, that what's we normally do.
I feel like spanish people when it reach noon, I want to have a nap (siesta) hahahahha..so I went back to my flat, having 1-2 hours of nap. By that time I feel more fresh to go out for a walk, to the park reading a book or just to walk around in the centre of the city.
Spanish people have dinner pretty late, normally 10pm and i'm still Ok with that, I normally ate at home or cook together with friend then have dinner together at one's place.
Dinner normally followed by going out at night to the bar or clubs in Calle Mon, a street for bar hopping! Our favorite bar is Bar Champa, they severd the big bottle of Mahou Beer only for 2 euros! End up going back to my flat at 4 am even in the school days (this really not good :D)
Weekend was crazier, end up going home at 6am with a hangover and shoud be awake at 8 because normally there was an excursion during the weekend, well we continued sleeping in the bus anyway.
Having the experience to study in Europe was really fun, living my youth to the fullest, you study hard to get the best grade as you were with the scholarships, you made a really great friends, you party even harder nearly every day, and you travel a lot!

| Tapas - boquerones buenisimaas
Hola Barcelona! Sempetin mampir ke Barcelona kalo lagi di Spanyol is a must! Barcelona bisa ditempuh selama 7 jam naik bis dari Madrid, ada beberapa jadwal keberangkatan dari terminal Madrid (estacio del nord/sur) smp ke Barcelona, jika naik kereta cepat Madrid-Barcelona bisa ditempuh selama 3,5 jam saja :) Naik bis tentunya lebih murah dari naik kereta sekitar 28 euro (thn 2010), untuk bis lihat jadwal dan harga di website ALSA http://www.alsa.es/en/
Supaya ngirit biaya nginep naik bisa malem OK jugaa, berangkat dari Madrid jam 12 malem smp Barcelona jam 8 pagi, ngirit buaya hostel 1 malem lumayan bangeeet :)
Sampai di Barcelona nginep di rumah temen lama Joaquin, rumahnya di daerah Tibidabo, yang merupakan daerah dataran tinggi di Barcelona sehingga city viewnya mantaaafs ;) Oya Barcelona indah juga karena landscape kotanya yang gak datar begitu aja, tetapi ada bukit atau dataran tingginya
First trip ke barri gothic yang terletak di pusat kota, naik metro dari tibidabo sampai deh ke centro, mulai menyelusuri bangunan yang bergaya gothic, ke katedral dll, jika suka arsitektur memang cocok banget ke Barcelona, gaya arsitektur dari abad ke abad ada semuaa, smp ke era modernista, banyak arsitek yg terkenal dari sini gak cuma Gaudi.
Barcelona emang lebih mahal sih dibanding Madrid, gak bisa terlalu sering jajan tapas di luar nih hihihi..
Ke Barcelona harus ngunjungin barri gothic, la rambla, montjuic, parque guel, pasar traditional dan harus makan seafood karena hasil lautnya Ok bangeeet :)
3 hari di Barcelona juga berasa kurang deeeh, tapi ya apa daya harus segera mulai kuliah dan berangkat ke Oviedo, daaan Barelona ke Oviedo itu naik bis selama 18 jaaam sajaaa kaakaaak karena jauh banget north west ke north east
Que aproveche Espana!
Sempetin ke La Rambla yah, the most happening street, banyak artist yg berkostum unik, jadi patung dll, untuk foto sama mereka bisa kasih uang tip saja :)    Jangan lupa ketika berada di pasar La Boqueria, ada Bar ata Resto di sudut pasar yg bernama Bar Boqueria, menyajikan masakan laut yg dimasak dengan berbagai macam pilihan..so yummyyy..aku makan boquerones a la planca, mejillones (kerang) juga serta sephia (sejenis cumi) nom nom  I'm sure masih banyak tempat yg harus dikunjungi seperti Sagrada Familia, lihat pentas air mancur di Montjuik. yes 3 hari di Barcelona never enough but harus segera sampai ke Oviedo untuk kuliaaah..I will go back someday to Barcelona..amiiiin  |
