June is the new February?

Is it just me... or is this month more Lovey Dovey than Februaries?

My twitter timeline is full of people in love!

and facebook..... do i even have to start? facebook is the pool of LOVE quotes and groups and stuff.

and me?

i'm always in love.

can't you tell?

Random Stuff I heard on World Cup.

"Dukung Jepang karna ada Tsubasa ya?"

"Aduuuh itu kalo tadi gol inggris bisa menang loh! Mentalnya keangkat soalnya.."-my brother.
3 detik kemudian...
"Eh eh tadi itu kalo gol inggris bisa menang loh. Soalnya pasti ngangkat mentalnya tim inggris."-my friend on the phone.
(And they can't hear each other!)

Etcetcetc

Nevermind.

I couldnt remember the last time i posted a post.

well nevermind. there's not much ppl reading my blog anyway.

hmmm all i wanna say is,

I ACTUALLY WATCH WORLD CUP! and i didnt fell asleep! wow!

i watched the english vs. german match, and as we all know German won and 'Wasit Goblog' is an immediate Trending Topic. (it's like an inside joke for Indonesians.haha)

second,

me and my classmates went to Dufan two weeks ago (yesss this is kind of like a farewell event). and we actually meet Ruben Onsu and Indra Bekti! they're shooting for Ceriwis and i'm babbling: wiiih kita masuk tv! (we're on tv!)

all i could think of was: I HAVE TO PUT THIS ON MY BLOG!

but well, i'm too lazy because i didnt watch the Ceriwis show anyway.

i wanted to, but i never had time on saturday mornings.

That is, until my friend texted me this morning that the Ceriwis show is on tv again and it's the Dufan edition.

and yesss i could see myself on tv. (it was such a proud.)

i'll post a picture of our class and Panda (the host of Termehek2 remember?) someday as a prove.

haha.

well this must be quite an annoying post. i realize myself that i'm being a complete NORAK person because of the Dufan thingy.

and if you're not Indonesian, i dont think you'll get it either.

nevermind.

:)

i'm happy enough just to write it here.

We are Andy's toys!

Just got back from watching Toy Story 3.

Shortly:

I do not recommend those who have high blood sugar and diabetic problems to watch this movie. it's too sweet.

and, this is the long review version:

Pixar made up for it's Wall-e failure (at least for me) through this movie. The animation is amazing. even Barbie's movement is so.... Barbie. And Andy, well, only Pixar could create a cute animation 17 year old guy. ooooh not mentioning the amazingly creepy monkey doll.

the story line is perfectly structured.

it's funny without being cheesy.

the mean toys get on your nerve.

the misunderstandings isn't all drama-ish and annoying.

and remember that Buzz is in love with Jessie?

well the in love part isn't the pathetic-wall-e-type.

and the toys, their good values doesn't make them sound like angelic saints.

it's creative.

out of the box without being the sort of going-back-in-time weird.

it's the kind of movie that is very likeable without having a thrilling G.I Joe storyline. Or a Titanic drama. and i laugh harder watching Pink Panther. But Toy Story is something.

so... Pixar, congrats!

you've amused me once again.

have i mention i cry and laugh at once at the movie ending? it's really loud and my friend beside me is doing the same and we're like laughing at ourselves and crying at the same time. and i can't stop crying even when the bloopers ended. amazing. haven't cried over a movie that loud since Bridge to Terabithia.

and i've just notice all good disney movies are a collaboration with Pixars. (okay i still have a thing against Wall-E but, well, i can't like every movie right?)

How to stay POSITIVE :)

Found this video on Run With Scissors.

Tell me this little girl doesn't make your day and i wouldn't believe you.

Jadi inget.

Waktu itu aku sekeluarga lagi makan diluar.

Moodnya kita semua kayak lagi ga enak. Terus setelah pesen makanannya dan nunggu beberapa saat, pelayannya keluar terus bilang:

"Permisi Pak, ini adalah tahu yang sangat enak, dan ini brokoli yang juga sangat enak."

Kita semua langsung liat-liatan terus ketawa.

It's funny how sometimes strangers could lit up the mood.

30 Day Journal Challenge

So this is a 30 Day Journal Challenge hosted by Janel from Run With Scissors. It starts on Monday (which is two days ago) and i completely forgot about it until today, thanks to Gracie.

We're supposed to journal a topic that Janel choose everyday. 'Journal' means you could express your thought by doing anything you want with the page. Draw, write, sketch, doodle, make random lines, etc etc etc.

Well, now that i've missed 2 days, I've got to make 3 journal entries today.

hmmmmmhmmmm.

2 Hours.

If you have 3 minutes to spare today, please watch this. It could change your life.

Giveaway.

Joining PhieGarage's Giveaway.

Fingers crossed :)

OMG.

Something interesting i learn in french class today.

The french expression for 'OMG' is 'Mon Dieu'.

It means 'My God'.

But since calling God's name in vain is not right,

i think i'm gonna stick with 'oh my GOSH!' instead :)

Optimis.

It seems like i'm the only person thinking staring at the sky is funner than staring at the tv with all those football players running back and forth.

not that my cable tv allows me to watch the world cup thingy anyway.

sucks for my brothers.

anyways,

3 weeks ago i'm interning (if there's such word) di UPH.

orang-orangnya lagi taruhan who's winning on World Cup terus mreka tanya aku dukung siapa.

i'm like: Indonesia.

him: waduh dia sih kalo main bola ga mungkin menang. Indonesia ga ikut Piala Dunia aja gak tau. (talking to another person)

me: itu namanya Optimis.

i'm still thinking.... do i sound that dumb?

iyalah aku tau indonesia ga masuk Piala Dunia. it was supposed to be a joke (that ended up sounding stupid)

*sigh*

People who cuss a lot sounds like they are out of witty remark.

Comfort Food

I never can make a list of favourite food but these are the things i've been craving the most this holiday.

1. Aryaduta's Chocolate Chip Muffin.

It's always best if you re-microwave it. it's crunchy on the outside and soft, buttery on the inside. It has a good warm buttery taste and nice melting chocolate chip. YUM.

2. Tart Susu.

This is my favourite jajanan pasar. The contrast taste is why it's so good. The crust is crumbly, salty, and dry. And the filling is rich with a sweet cream-like paste.

3. Waffles.

Do i need to explain?

4. Pancakes.

They're my favourite since i first try one.

Yeah, they're all.... Pastries? To eat over teas?

no idea what's the right label.

but they're all comfort food for me.

so you see, that's how my abs and thighs get blubbery.

Today.

1. I swim until my legs hurt. (if you are anywhere in imperial aryaduta country club and you see a girl swimming like boiled shrimp, that must be me).

2. Have a chicken kebab lunch.

3. Walk back home with my brother and all we talk about are fatamorganas, deserts, and whether we should stop on someone's house to ask for a drink.(it was a loooong walk but it was kinda fun not riding the bus)

It's all so tiring but at least now i have an excuse to eat more chocolate chip muffins.

Yarns and Stitches.

I love knitting.
yes. knitting is a form of art grandmothers do in their rocking chair (at least that's what they tell us in movies).
my grandma used to knit. (guess how many balls of yarn she gave me when i told her i learn knitting.)

i'm interested in knitting since as long as i remember but most of my friends are like: oh, i would be too lazy to do that. it's boring for me. you have enough patience to finish that?

idk. i'm enchanted.

it's amazing how you could turn a ball of yarn into a piece of art

people who knit looks peaceful. that's what my friend said. it's true anyway. knitting is a way of pouring your emotion and have it formed into something.

and it's funny how knitting attracts so many strangers. so many people.

i met strangers asking me what i'm knitting.

i met new friends that way.

i'm still a noob. beginner. but that won't be for too long.

Dreams, Drools, and Deadlines.

a lot of figuring myself today.
i found out that i'm this sort of person who dreams and dreams and dreams and never do anything to achieve that dream.
plainly because dreaming on is easier than getting into your feet and get things done.
and when i am working on it, it's just too easy to stop and just dream some more.

by the age of 11 i manage to dream of being one of the youngest author competing with Sri Izzati.
and by the age of 14 i manage to complete not even one chapter of my dream book.
and yes, by the age of 14 i am still dreaming of writing books. dreaming of the someday when i'll visit gramedia and smile to somebody, anybody who happen to pick my book and take it to the cashier.
it's hard but i've come to this realization that i'll just keep on dreaming of this writing-a-book thingy when i'm 87 years old, not even knowing how to make a novel's rough draft.

and i got kinda scared.
i've got myself trapped in this sweet thing called dream and even though i've tried to wake up a couple of times, i'm not trying hard enough.
i just let soft callings of dream get into my ears and dream some more.

for my whole life time.
all i've been dreaming is to write a book.
to get a short story published.
my sweetest yet dangerous dream, they never let go of me.

it surprises me though, that i'm the kind of person that needs DEADLINE.
not that i'm the kind of precise person that hands in everything on the deadline, but even when i'm late turning in for the deadline, at least i'm there.
at least i've made something and stop myself being such a dreaming fool drooling over something i could always get.

i'll make a writing schedule and deadline.
just have to get up and make a step.

I'm never a party person, more of a food person. But then, most parties have good food.

Fancy Hat

Found this on Jetstar Magazine's International Adventures collumn.

Bali, Indonesia

One of Asia's best holiday islands is Indonesia's Bali. It has sun, sea, surf and mountains all rolled into one, with a rich cultural heritage to boot.

Survival tip for tourists:

Don't wear the pointy, woven hats they sell at the market. They're not really hats, they're rice steamers.

- Kelly Marciano, Jetstar Magazine Interview.

i was like o.o

remembering years ago i almost cried because my parents don't let me by those rice-steamers-that-looks-like-fancy-farmer-hats in Bali.

rice steamers. right.
