Pilot Adventure Origin!

It was Sunday, April 12, 2009 when Pilot Adventure crew was established...

We usually have our weekly volleyball match on Sunday.. but since it was Easter weekend, we did not have any match on that day... We figured out that it will be a perfect day to spend sometime together; to bond our friendship and most importantly to explore new places especially restaurants !! fyi..this crew consists of all food oriented people!! haha..




Here we go.. Six adventurous people, Odri, Andri, Vincent, Leo, Oey and Erwin, went to Tacoma and Olympia area..

Leo who owns a Honda Pilot gave us a ride, from there, we thought Pilot Adventure would be a cool name for our crew.. First, it's because the car itself, Honda Pilot, which brought us together for this trip... Second, we hope that our adventurous trips could serve as a PILOT for other people who need ideas for new restaurants, trip destinations or other adventurous activities.. (was this reasoning quite thoughtful or BS? hahha whatever... :p )

Quick summary about the trip itself...

Tukwila park and ride was the first meeting point... is everyone here?? yepp!! ok, so we jumped to the PILOT and headed south to Olympia excitedly, regardless the rainy weather..












Our first stop in Olympia was Vic's Pizzerria..

continued by visiting the Heritage Park and also the Capitol Museum...oh plus Olympia waterfront... We peeked at Andri's house too and then drove north...



















Tacoma became our next destination... The weather turned to be a little bit sunny... we stopped by downtown Tacoma..enjoying what so called Northwest sunset.. cold-cloudy-orange-purplish-color but pretty sunset :P:P .. exploring Union station and Museum of Glass.. taking so many pictures...next we went to Ruston way known as the Tacoma waterfront... enough with site seeing activities... then we ate dinner at O Bok, a five star Korean restaurant @ Lakewood to end our trip....

Full tummy check.. fun site seeing check... taking so many pictures check... then we called it done.. :) We drove back to Tukwila park&ride with high satisfactions: good food, good friends, good time concluding the origin of Pilot Adventure trip! :)



Next, someone from the food critic side will post more details about the food, right?!! :P:P

Your Temperaments

So since we started our friendship as being a team player… I think its good to know more about each other so we can appreciate and tolerate one another even more…

So when Leo wrote his last email listing all the info about the housewarming event, I thought… wow… he shows his obvious personality… :P

Then I remembered about the four temperaments (not the same as zodiacs or fortune teller) and try to fit each one of you…

I took the test long time ago and my test shows I have actually 3 strong temperaments (I have sanguine and not only melancholic-choleric and super low or almost none phlegmatic temperament)…
And people changes by time… this may not be valid now and not the past or future… cuz I changed from time to time… I was super sanguine in high school… then became more choleric during college… and now more melancholic (mellowed out :P)

Basically why I’m doing this entry? Not only GB, but also so you know why Odry bawel… Vincent serem… Andri pd-an… Leo rapih… etc… Jadi ngertiin satu ama laen… jadi ga ngambekan kalo ga nyambung… :P kalo diliat2 dilapangan juga semua ngeluarin characternya loh… jadi maklum2an dong… :P

This is what an amateur psychologist (me) thinks you are (name listed in alphabetical order):





Andri
choleric-sanguine







Angeline
melancholic-choleric







Audrey
sanguine-phlegmatic







Erwin
phlegmatic-sanguine







Leo
melancholic-phlegmatic








Vincent
choleric-melancholic




Chandra
phlegmatic-sanguine

Danny
phlegmatic-melancholic

And if you don’t agree with this… then this is where the discussion starts…. Haha… because I just guessed bluntly for most of them…

Btw, I know Microsoft did something similar with this but a little more geared towards their professions or work etiquette, kalo mau tau, ini linknya: www.keirsey.com

ps: eh minta more access dong buat setting blog-nya :P
