Why translators should get high wages.

I badly badly badly wanna do a blogpost. but i kinda lost the picture i wanna put here. so, yeah. you do have to live with my random musings until i find the picture. or upload other pictures from the camera.




I bought a baby-sitters club book. in FRENCH language. and, no. i dont even understand what the title means.
it's, a bit for motivational needs.
more like trying to prove my theory that reading a french story book with a dictionary would be a very good way to learn french the fun way. it would end up like i'm translating the whole book.
it doesn't really work though. the only thing i've figured is the first word.
oh well. gotta try harder some way or another.

by the way, do you know that it's highly frustrating trying to a good book in shelves of books titled in a language you don't at all understand?

Invisible.

I've discovered my superpower.
Invisibility.
i've always wanted to read minds, but, hey, being invisible would be pretty cool right?

haha right i'm being extra positive.
i used to hate being so invisible.
and looking so stinking smart.
and guess how many thousand people told me i look like some extra boring nerd from mars?
there are probably some parts of me i haven't embrace that well,
but this is an improvement!
i actually laugh and thought of superpowers when somebody asks my name and the next day say "Hey! i've never seen you before!"

well, good bye self pity!

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!)

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.
